MARCH 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

When we use the terms ”we,” ”us,” ”our” and “the Company,” we mean Kandi Technologies Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The Company 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. On December 21, 2012, the Company changed its name to Kandi Technologies Group, Inc.

On June 29, 2007, the Company (Stone Mountain Resources, Inc.) executed an exchange agreement to acquire 100% of Continental Development Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Continental”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Vehicles”). Upon consummation of the exchange agreement, Continental became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company began conducting its primary business operations through Kandi Vehicles.

On December 31, 2010, in connection with forming the first Chinese electric vehicle battery replacement service provider, Jinhua Three Parties New Energy Vehicles Service Co., ltd. (“Jinhua Service”) was formed as a joint venture, by and among our wholly owned subsidiary, Kandi Vehicles, the State Grid Power Corporation and Tianneng Power International. The Company, indirectly through Kandi Vehicles, has a 30% ownership interest in Jinhua Service.

In 2011, Jinhua Kandi New Energy Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“Kandi New Energy”) was formed by Kandi Vehicles and Mr. Xiaoming Hu, our Chairman and CEO. Kandi Vehicles has a 50% ownership interest in, and controls the Board of Directors of, Kandi New Energy. Pursuant to a Share Escrow and Trust Agreement, Loan Agreement, Contractor Agreement, Kandi Vehicles is entitled to 100% of the economic benefits, voting rights and residual interests (100% profits and loss absorption rate) of Kandi New Energy.

On April 25 2012, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, the Company completed an acquisition of KO NGA Investment Limited and its subsidiaries, K S Asia Limited Group Limited, Yongkang K S Electric Limited and Yongkang Scrou Electric Co. (“Yongkang Scrou”). On June 29, 2012, in connection with the completion of an internal reorganization, Yongkang Scrou, a manufacturer of various auto generators, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On March 1, 2013, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Kandi Vehicles formed Kandi Electric Vehicles (Changxing) Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Changxing”) in the Changxing (National) Economic and Technological Development Zone. Kandi Changxing, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kandi Vehicles, specializes in the production of electrical vehicles (“EVs”).

The Company’s organization chart as of this reporting date is as follows:


The Company's primary business operations are the design, development, manufacturing, and commercialization of EVs, all-terrain vehicles (“ATVs”), go-karts, and other related specialized automobiles for the PRC and global markets.

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY

As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s working capital surplus was $43,892,558.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had credit lines from commercial banks of $54,126,337, of which $32,794,193 was used as of March 31, 2013.

Historically, the Company has financed itself through short-term commercial bank loans obtained from PRC banks. The term of these loans are typically for one year; upon our payment of all outstanding principal and interest in a respective loan, the PRC banks have typically rolled over such loans for an additional one-year term, subject to interest rate adjustments to reflect prevailing market rates. The Company believes these lending arrangements have not changed and that short-term bank loans will continue to be available on customary terms and conditions.

The Company believes that its cash flows generated internally may not be sufficient to support growth of future operations and repay short term bank loans for the next twelve months (if required). However, the Company believes that its access to existing financing sources, as well as its established relationships with PRC banks, will enable it to meet its obligations and fund its ongoing operations.

On April 19, 2013, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC. Subject to market conditions and volume limitations, the registration statement will allow us, from time to time, to offer and sell up to $60 million of equity, debt and hybrid securities as described in the registration statement. The registration statement has not yet been declared effective by the SEC. We have not issued or sold any securities pursuant to the shelf registration statement.

NOTE 3 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company maintains its general ledger and journals in accordance with the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting purposes. Presented financial statements and notes are representations of our management. Adopted accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the presentation of our financial statements.

The financial information included herein for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for these interim periods.

NOTE 5 – USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Economic and 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 Renminbi (“RMB”), which is our functional currency. Accordingly, our operation 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 performance 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 – 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:

As of March 31, 2013, our assets, measured at fair value, on a recurring basis, subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820, were as follows:

    Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in  
                      Significant  
          Active Markets for     Significant Other     Unobservable  
    Carrying value as     Identical Assets     Observable Inputs     Inputs  
    of March 31, 2012     (Level 1)   (Level 2)   (Level 3)  
Cash and cash equivalents $  3,987,688   $  3,987,688     -     -  
Restricted cash   7,962,583     7,962,583     -     -  
Warrants   449,559     -     449,559     -  

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, some of which is used 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 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).

(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, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, represents time deposits on account, some of which are used to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable. As of March 31, 2013, our restricted cash was as follows:

                                                                 Purpose   Amount  
Used to secure note payable (also see Note 15) $  7,959,755  
Used to secure short-term bank loans (also see Note 14)   -  
Pure time deposits   2,828  
Total   7,962,583

NOTE 6 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(d) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (market value). The cost of raw materials is determined on a weighted average basis. The cost of finished goods is also determined on a weighted average basis and includes 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 and related completion and selling expenses.

(e) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in periods where we determine a loss is probable, based on our assessment of specific factors such as troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging, ongoing business relations and other factors. Accounts are written off after an exhaustive collection effort. If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within the operating expenses line item. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company recorded no allowance for doubtful accounts. This determination was made per our management's judgment, which was based on their best knowledge.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the longest credit term used, in connection with certain selected customers, was 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, on an accrual basis, in accordance with each agreement between a borrower and the Company. If notes receivable are provided for, or written off, such notes are recognized in the relevant year that the loan default is probable (management is reasonably certain and losses 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, the Company provides accrual for related foreclosure and litigation expenses.

(g) Prepayments

Prepayments represent cash paid in advance to suppliers. As of March 31, 2013, prepayments included cash paid advances to raw material suppliers, and prepaid expenses, such as water and electricity fees.

(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

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.

NOTE 6 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(i) Construction in Progress

Construction in progress represents the direct costs of construction, 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

Chinese law, land in the PRC is owned by the government and land ownership rights cannot be sold to an individual or to a private 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 (now known as "ASC 360"). 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, no impairment loss was recognized.

(l) Revenue Recognition

Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold. Revenue is recognized when we ship the goods to our customers. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:

(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 $689,665 and $756,096 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(n) Government Grant

Grants received from the PRC Government for assisting in the Company’s technical research and development efforts are recognized when the proceeds are received or collectible.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, $0 and $0, respectively, was received from the PRC government.

NOTE 6 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(o) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income tax using an asset and liability approach, which allows for the 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. The accounting for deferred tax calculation represents the management’s best estimate on the most likely future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns and related future anticipation. 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 year, which was obtained from website: http://www.oanda.com

Average RMB : USD exchange rate   6.2858     6.3198     6.3201  

(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 March 31, 2013 was $0. See Note 18.

(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 a warrant, which is classified as a liability, 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 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 were recognized in expenses.

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.

(t) Goodwill

We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. We evaluate our reporting units on an annual basis and, if necessary, reassign goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit.

Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If the more likely than not threshold is met, we perform a quantitative impairment test. At March 31, 2013, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired.

(u) Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of tradename and customer relations associated with the purchase price allocation of Yongkang Scrou Electric Co.. Such assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 9.7 years. Intangible assets are amortized as of March 31, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-02, Intangibles--Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This ASU states that an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Codification Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles--Goodwill and Other, General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. Under the guidance in this ASU, an entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. An entity will be able to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of 2012-02 to have a material effect on its operating results or financial position.

In August 2012, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-03, Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections. This ASU amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to SAB 114, SEC Release No. 33-9250, and ASU 2010-22, which amend or rescind portions of certain SAB Topics. The adoption of 2012-03 did not have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial position.

In October 2012, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements. This ASU make technical corrections, clarifications, and limited-scope improvements to various Topics throughout the Codification. The amendments in this ASU that will not have transition guidance will be effective upon issuance for both public entities and nonpublic entities. For public entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. For nonpublic entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of 2012-02 did not have a material effect on our operating results or financial position.

In January 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This ASU clarifies that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Specifically, ASU 2011-11 applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The FASB undertook this clarification project in response to concerns expressed by U.S. stakeholders about the standard’s broad definition of financial instruments. After the standard was finalized, companies realized that many contracts have standard commercial provisions that would equate to a master netting arrangement, significantly increasing the cost of compliance at minimal value to financial statement users. An entity is required to apply the amendments in ASU 2013-01 for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The effective date is the same as the effective date of ASU 2011-11. The adoption of 2013-01 did not have a material effect on our operating results or financial position.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In February 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU improves the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires is presently required under U.S. GAAP to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements.

The new amendments will require an organization to:

The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). A private company is required to meet the reporting requirements of the amended paragraphs about the roll forward of accumulated other comprehensive income for both interim and annual reporting periods. However, private companies are only required to provide the information about the effect of reclassifications on line items of net income for annual reporting periods, not for interim reporting periods. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, for private companies. The adoption of 2013-02 did not have a material effect on our operating results or financial position.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In February 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This ASU provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in this ASU also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2014, and interim periods and annual periods thereafter. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements within the ASU’s scope that exist at the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year of adoption. An entity may elect to use hindsight for the comparative periods (if it changed its accounting as a result of adopting the amendments in this ASU) and should disclose that fact. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of 2013-04 to have a material effect on its operating results or financial position.

In March 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830). This ASU resolve the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters—Translation of Financial Statements, applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights)within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this Update resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. This ASU is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update EITF11Ar—Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830), which has been deleted. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities the amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The amendments should be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments, it should apply them as of the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of 2013-05 to have a material effect on its operating results or financial position.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 15 – NOTES PAYABLE

By issuing bank note payables rather than paying cash to suppliers, the Company can defer the payments until the date the bank note payable is due.

NOTE 17 – TAX

(a) Corporation Income Tax (“CIT”)

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of the PRC adopted a new corporate income tax law (the “new CIT law”) in its fifth plenary session. The new corporate income tax law took effect on January 1, 2008. In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of the PRC, the applicable corporate income tax (“CIT”) rate of Kandi is 25%. However, as in fiscal year ended 2012, in fiscal year 2013, the Company, as a result of qualifying as a high technology company in China, is not only entitled to pay a reduced income tax rate of 15%, but is also entitled to a research and development tax credit of 25% of 50% actual spending, with effective rate of 36.5% and 53.5%, resulting in a total tax benefit of 51.5% and 68.5%.

Kandi New Energy is a subsidiary of the Company and its applicable corporate income tax rate is 25%.

Yongkang Scrou Electric. Co., Ltd is a subsidiary of the Company and its applicable corporate income tax rate is 25%

According to the PRC 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 basis 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 is derived from the VAT reporting system and will create a temporary sales cut-off timing difference; this difference is reflected in the deferred tax assets or liabilities calculations on the income tax estimate reported in the Form 10-K..

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 March 31, 2013, 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 March 31, 2013 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 March 31, 2013, 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 three months ended March 31, 2013 due to the net operating loss carry forward in the United States.

(“YATCL”) for the period from January 6, 2013 to January 6, 2014. YATCL is not related to the Company. Under these guarantee contracts, the Company shall perform all obligations of YATCL under the loan contracts if YATCL fails to perform its obligations as set forth in the loan contracts.

On March 15, 2013 and December 26, 2012, the Company entered into two guarantee contracts to serve as the guarantor for the bank loans borrowed from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Jinhua Branch and Shanghai Bank Hangzhou branch in the amount of $3,183,902 and $6,367,805 respectively by Nanlong Group Co., Ltd. (“NGCL”) for the period from March 15, 2013 to March 15, 2016, and December 26, 2012 to December 26, 2013 respectively. NGCL is not related to the Company. Under this guarantee contract, the Company shall perform all obligations of NGCL under the loan contract if NGCL fails to perform its obligations as set forth in the loan contract.

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

As of March 31, 2013, 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 $  3,496,401  
Plant and equipment net book value $  2,823,335  

It is a common business practice among the Chinese companies located in Kandi's geographic region 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 the instances above. 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”) as well as other parties, Kandi Investment Group and SunL, 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 is 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 and other parties including Kandi Investment but not the Company. 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. In addition, the Company requested that the court set aside the default judgments against Kandi Vehicles, a request granted, by the court, on February 28, 2011. On March 3, 2011, the plaintiffs subsequently appealed the court order vacating the default judgments; however, the plaintiffs have since voluntarily withdrawn their appeal.

The Company intends to defend these cases vigorously and expects to prevail in this lawsuit since the Company including its subsidiaries did not manufacture the subject vehicle in the accident.

The plaintiffs filed a Motion to Compel Production of Documents. Pursuant to a hearing held on April 26, 2013, the court granted plaintiffs' motion and ordered the Company to produce the requested documents. The Company has produced the requested documents. This case is set for trial on July 8, 2013.

(c) Asset purchase

On February 27, 2013, Kandi Vehicles entered into an Assets Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Zhejiang New Energy Vehicle System Co., Ltd., a limited liability company in China (“New Energy”). The Purchase Agreement finalized the arrangements the Company negotiated in 2012 for the purchase by Kandi Vehicles of certain EV operating assets of New Energy, including a pressing assembly line, a welding assembly line, a coating assembly line, a general assembly line and related equipment, facilities, building and land use rights (the “Purchased Assets”) for a total cash price of RMB 272,767,553 (approximately $43,423,260). The price was based upon a third-party appraisal prepared by Jinhua Jinehen Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. In connection with the initiation of exclusive negotiations with New Energy and pursuant to a letter of intent (“LOI”) between the parties on November 20, 2012, the Company, as of March 31, 2013, delivered RMB 242,750,000 (approximately $38,644,613) as a refundable deposit. Pursuant to the LOI, the deposit was to be applied to the purchase price and to be returned to Kandi Vehicles within 5 days upon the termination of negotiations if the parties could not reach a final agreement. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the remainder of the purchase price will be delivered within one month of the completion of the transfer by New Energy of titles to and ownership of the Purchased Assets. Under the Purchase Agreement, New Energy is to complete the transfer of ownership and title (for the land, land use rights and operating and other assets) within three months of the signing of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and pre- and post-closing covenants of each party. Breaches of the representations and warranties are subject to customary indemnification provisions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Policy affecting options, and warrants

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.

Warrant costs are recorded in liabilities and equities, respectively, in accordance with ASC 480, ASC 505 and ASC 815.

The fair value of a warrant, 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.

The Company determined that the fair value of equity based warrants, which are not considered derivatives under ASC 815, should be 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.

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.

35


Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in periods where we determine a loss is probable, based on our assessment of specific factors such as troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging, ongoing business relation and other factors. Accounts are written off after an exhaustive collection effort. If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within operating expenses line item. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company recorded no allowance for doubtful accounts. This determination was made per our management's judgment, which was 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 sales 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 three months ended March 31, 2013.

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:

(a) Revenue

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our revenue increased by 2.1% from $14,355,541 to $14,662,521 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012.

The following table lists the number of vehicles sold, categorized by vehicle types, within the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

Off-Road Vehicles

During the first quarter of 2013, the overall off-road vehicles market reflected a shift in consumer preferences, specifically a heightened demand and focus on higher end off-road vehicles, in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2012. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, the average unit price of ATVs and Go-Karts sold by the Company increased significantly; however, we also experienced a decrease in overall unit sales.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, revenues from our ATVs experienced a significant increase of $549,210, or 27.5% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. This was attributable to 32.4% increase in the average unit price. As noted above, we sold more higher-priced ATVs during this reporting period; however, we experienced a decrease in overall unit sales of 3.7% .

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we experienced a decrease in revenue realized from Go-Kart sales of $1.1 million or 11.6% compared to the same period last year. This was mainly attributable to a 23.6% decrease in unit sales, from 12,981 units in the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 9,911 units during the same period in 2013. Similar to the ATV segment, the decrease in unit sales was somewhat offset by the fact that the Company sold more higher price Go-Karts during the three months ended March 31, 2013, which caused a 15.8% increase in the average unit price overall, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012.

We experienced a significant decrease in revenue generated from sales of our three-wheeled motorcycle (TT). TT sales revenue decreased from $502,355 in the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $67,663 during the first three months of 2013. This 86.5% decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to an average unit price decrease of 65.9% and a 60.5% decrease in unit sales. This average unit price decrease was primarily attributable to the fact that the TTs we sold during the three months ended March 31, 2013 were mainly price-competitive gas-electric hybrid TTs in the Chinese markets.

UTVs experienced a significant increase in revenues from $74,433 to $578,673. This 677.4% increase was mainly due to a 1,100% increase in unit sales, from 20 in the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 240 units during the three months ended March 31, 2013. This significant increase is primarily attributable to a large UTV order received by the Company during the first quarter of 2013; although the UTVs purchased in this order were relatively inexpensive models in comparison to other UTV products offered by the Company.

EV

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, revenues from EV sales increased by $541,117, or 45.6%, compared to the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average unit sales price of 42.7% over the comparable period of last year; in addition, we experienced a slight 2% increase in unit sales. This significant average unit price increase was primarily due to sales of a higher-priced model during the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period of 2012. However, in comparison to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, sales of EVs decreased. This decrease is likely attributable to the discontinuation of a government subsidy at the end of fiscal year ended 2012. However, the Company believes that the Chinese government will either extend the previous financial consumer subsidy or introduce a comparable subsidy in the near future.

38


Refitted car

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, revenue generated from sales of our refitted cars decreased by $370,549, or 38.9% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. This decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a 37.1% decrease in unit sales, from 35 units in the first three months ended March 31, 2012 to 22 units during the three months ended March 31, 2013. In addition to sales of our refitted cars, the Company generated revenue by refitting other companies’ vehicles to meet special requirements for certain customers.

Auto generator

On April 25, 2012, the Company acquired Yongkang Scrou, a manufacturer of various auto generators. For the three months ended March 31,2013, a total of 19,339 sets of auto generators were sold with sales totaling $633,936.

The following table shows the breakdown of our revenues from our customers by geographical markets based on the location of the customer during the 3 months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

    Three Months Ended March 31  
    2013     2012  
    Sales     Percentage     Sales     Percentage  
North America $  1,628,080     11%   $  1,639,376     11%  
China   12,623,724     86%     12,452,931     87%  
Europe & other region   410,717     3%     263,234     2%  
Total $  14,662,521     100%   $  14,355,541     100%  

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, about 70% 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 March 31, 2013 was $11,290,490, representing an increase of $275,799, or 2.5% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, which corresponds to our increase in revenue.

(c) Gross profit

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2013 increased 0.9% to $3,372,031, compared to $3,340,850 for the same period last year. This was attributable to our increase in revenue. However, our gross margin decreased to 23.0% compared to 23.3% for the same period of 2012. This slight decrease was primarily due to the fact that sales of auto generators have a lower gross margin compared to our vehicle products.

(d) Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses were $89,614 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $93,835 for the same period in 2012, a 4.5% decrease. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in advertising related fees during this reporting period.

(e) General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $692,964 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $683,620 for the same period in 2012, a 1.4% increase. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, general and administrative expenses did not include any stock-based compensation costs which amounted to $19,053 for the same period in 2012. However, general and administrative expenses included $17,692 in expenses for common stock awards to employees and consultants for financing and investor relations services, compared to $13,733 for the same period in 2012. Excluding stock based compensation costs and stock award costs, our net general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $675,272, an increase of 3.8% for the same period of 2012 $650,834. This increase was primarily attributable to higher depreciation and amortization costs.

39


(f) Research and development

Research and development expenses were $689,665 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $756,096 from the same period in 2012, a 8.8% decrease. This decrease was primarily because research and development for models was nearly finished in year 2012.

(g) Government grants

Government grants totaled $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, the same as for the corresponding period in 2012.

(h) Net interest (expense) income

Net interest expense was ($670,208) for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $131,602 for the same period last year, a significant change. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the interest expenses related to convertible notes was $0, and the interest incurred by debt discount amortization, was $0, since all remaining convertible notes were converted during the first fiscal quarter of 2012. In comparison to the same period last year, our interest expense for convertible notes was $2, and the interest incurred by debt discount amortization was $43. However, notwithstanding the aforementioned, net interest expense for this reporting period was ($670,208), a significant change compared to a net interest income of $131,647 for the same period in 2012. This change was primarily attributable to: (i) a decrease of interest income earned on notes receivable issued to third parties; and (ii) bond interest expenses incurred by the Company.

(i) Change in fair value of financial instruments

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, interest income, caused by changes in the fair value of warrants issued to investors and placement agents, was $990,395, while, for the same period of last year, interest income was $942,950.

(j) Other Income, Net

Net other income was $122,365 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $34,468 for the same period of last year, a significant increase of $87,897 or 255.0%. This increase is primarily attributable to lease income the Company received during this reporting period.

(k) Investment (loss) income

Investment losses were ($14,023) for the first three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to a loss of ($13,401) for the corresponding period in 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, investment losses were attributable to our 30% equity interest investment in Jinhua Service.

(l) Net income

The operating performance of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2013 reflected a net income of $2,236,873, a decrease of $146,079 or 6.1% from a net income of $2,382,952 for the same period of last year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a change in the net interest amount from net income in the first three months of 2012 to net expense in this reporting period.

Excluding the effects of option related expenses, which were $0 and $19,053 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively, the stock award expense, which was $17,692 and $13,733 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively, convertible note interest expense, which was $0 and $2 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively, the effect caused by amortization of discount on convertible notes, which was $0 and $43 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively, and the change of the fair value of financial derivatives, which was $990,395 and $942,950 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company’s net income was $1,264,170, a decrease of 14.2%, compared to a net income of $1,472,833 for the same period of 2012, excluding the same effects. This decrease is primarily attributable to the change in net interest amount from net income in the first three months of 2012 to net expense in this reporting period.

Financial Condition Liquidity and Capital Resources Working Capital

The Company had a working capital surplus of $43,892,558 as of March 31, 2013, compared to a working capital surplus of $19,939,862 as of March 31, 2012.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company has credit lines from commercial banks for $54,126,337, of which $32,794,193 was used at March 31, 2013. The Company believes that its cash flows generated internally may not be sufficient to support growth of future operations and repay short term bank loans for the next twelve months if needed. 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.

Historically, the Company has financed itself through short-term commercial bank loans obtained from PRC banks. The terms of these loans are typically for one year; upon our payment of all outstanding principal and interest in a respective loan, the PRC banks have typically rolled over such loans for an additional one-year term, subject to interest rate adjustments to reflect prevailing market rates. The Company believes these lending arrangements have not changed and that short-term bank loans will continue to be available on customary terms and conditions.

Further, on April 19, 2013, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC. Subject to market conditions and volume limitations, the registration statement will allow us, from time to time, to offer and sell up to $60 million of equity, debt and hybrid securities as described in the registration statement. The registration statement has not yet been declared effective by the SEC. We have not issued or sold any securities pursuant to the shelf registration statement.

Cash Flow

Net cash flow used in operating activities was ($278,152) for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to net cash flow used in operating activities of ($4,299,107) for the same period in 2012. This improvement was mainly attributable to changes in our cash flow caused by prepayments and prepaid expenses. The account has changed to a cash inflow of $2,717,021 for the three months ended 2013, compared to a cash outflow of ($1,337,864) for the same period last year. This improvement was mainly attributable to the Company prepaying a significant percentage of the model manufacturing payments owed suppliers in 2012.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was ($16,052,560) for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $17,835,151 for the same reporting period in 2012. This significant change was mainly attributable to (i) the Company providing a ($14,103,172) cash deposit for the acquisition of certain assets of Zhejiang New Energy Vehicle System Co., Ltd. during the three months ended March 31, 2013; and (ii) for the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded a net cash outflow of ($1,940,690) in notes receivable due to issuance of notes receivable, while for the same period of last year, the Company collected $18,032,672 in notes receivable and had no issuances of notes receivable, which caused a net cash inflow of $18,032,672.

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $8,055,062 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to net cash flow used in financing activities of ($10,816,059) for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Cash flow provided by financing activities in this quarter was primarily attributable to a decrease in restricted cash, which caused a cash inflow of $7,954,409, and a warrant exercise, which caused a cash inflow of $3,244,318. While for the same period of last year, the Company recorded a net cash outflow of ($15,758,880) for restricted cash, which was partially offset by a cash inflow of $4,933,717 from notes payable.

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.

Recent Development Activities:

On January 10, 2013, at the opening ceremony of 2012 Global New Energy Vehicle Conference, held in Bo Ao city, Hainan province in south China, Mr. Xiaoming Hu, our Chairman and CEO, gave a speech entitled “A Breakthrough in the Business Model Will Be Important for the Development of EV industry.”

As disclosed by the Company on a Form 8-K, filed on March 25, 2013, on March 22, 2013, Kandi Vehicles entered into the Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) of Establishment of Zhejiang Kandi Electric Vehicles Co., Ltd. (the “JV Company”) with Shanghai Maple Guorun Automobile Co., Ltd., a 99% owned subsidiary of Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. (the “Geely”) which is listed with Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (the “HK Exchanges”). On April 19, 2013, the JV Company was officially approved by the local government agency. Each party has a 50% ownership interest in the JV Company. The business scope of JV Company is to develop, manufacture and sell EVs and related auto parts. The JV Company will acquire EV assets from both parties and will leverage the strength, resources and expertise of both parties in the EV segment to develop and provide affordable electric vehicles and efficient services to its customers. The primary product of the JV Company will be to provide EVs and related services for intra-city public transportation. The parties believe that given their respective experience, the JV Company has the potential to be a leader in the electric vehicle market.

On March 28, 2013, a full scale production and assembly line specialized for pure EVs was completed by the Company’s whole owned subsidiary, Kandi Changxing.

On April 12, 2013, Kandi Electric Vehicles (Weifang) Co., Ltd. formed and capitalized by Kandi Vehicles was formally approved by the local government agency and was established in Weifang Binhai Economic Development Zone of Shandong Province. Kandi Weifang anticipates achieving the annual capacity of 100,000 units of EV key components and parts for its first phase within two years.

On April 23, 2013, Kandi Vehicles signed a sales contract with Tianjin Sinopoly New Energy Investment Co., Ltd. ('Tianjin Sinopoly'), a subsidiary of Sinopoly Battery Limited ('Sinopoly'), a company listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchanges and Clearing Limited to provide up to 1,900 EVs, which will be a part of the electric vehicle leasing program in Hangzhou City. Assuming the purchase and delivery of all 1,900 EVs, the total contract price would be RMB 75,620,000, approximately USD 12,238,226. The purchase period of the Sales Contract will be until the end of 2013. Kandi Vehicles will deliver the electric vehicles depending upon Tianjin Sinopoly’s vehicle purchase demand and its delivery notices. Kandi shall make the delivery to within 7 working days of receipt of the notice and Tianjin Sinopoly’s full payment for the vehicles identified in the notice. Tianjin Sinopoly has the right to adjust vehicle delivery times to conform to the implementation of the leasing program, to market responses as well as to the actual running conditions of the electric vehicles, including vehicle quality and market adaptability.

On April 23, 2013, Kandi Electric Vehicles (Wanning) Co., Ltd. ('Kandi Wanning') was incorporated and capitalized by Kandi Vehicles. Kandi Wanning has been officially approved by the local government agency and is established in Wanning City of Hainan Province. Kandi Wanning hopes to achieve an annual capacity of 100,000 units of EV key components and parts for its first phase within two years. Upon the completion of this first phase, Kandi Wanning will be transferred to and become a wholly owned subsidiary of the JV Company.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Exchange Rate Risk

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.

Economic and Political Risks

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 performance 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.

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 March 31, 2013. Based on that review and evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer 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.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed, operated and managed, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Because of the inherent limitations of disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

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”) as well as other parties, Kandi Investment Group and SunL, 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 is 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 and other parties including Kandi Investment but not the Company. 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. In addition, the Company requested that the court set aside the default judgments against Kandi Vehicles, a request granted, by the court, on February 28, 2011. On March 3, 2011, the plaintiffs subsequently appealed the court order vacating the default judgments; however, the plaintiffs have since voluntarily withdrawn their appeal.

The Company intends to defend these cases vigorously and expects to prevail in this lawsuit since the Company including its subsidiaries did not manufacture the subject vehicle in the accident.

The plaintiffs filed a Motion to Compel Production of Documents. Pursuant to a hearing held on April 26, 2013, the court granted plaintiffs' motion and ordered the Company to produce the requested documents. The Company has produced the requested documents. This case is set for trial on July 8, 2013.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Other than as set forth below, 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, 2012. 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. 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.

Risks Related to Our Business Operations

The continued discontinuation of government subsidies available to consumers who purchase our EVs may decrease demand for our EVs and, in turn, decrease our net income and materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

To encourage consumers to purchase the electric vehicles, Zhejiang Provincial Government and the Jinhua Municipal Government provided subsidies to consumers who purchased electric vehicles, including our EVs. Government subsidies expired at the end of fiscal year 2012. The Company believes that the Chinese government will either extend the previous financial consumer subsidy or introduce a comparable subsidy in the near future; however, a permanent discontinuation or reduction of subsidies previously available to consumers may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the lack of consumer friendly subsidy policies may have an adverse effect on our ability to market our products.

In recent years, the economy of China has experienced unprecedented growth. As a result of the global financial crisis, this growth has slowed in the last year, and if the growth of the economy continues to slow or if the economy contracts, our financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

The rapid growth of the PRC economy has historically resulted in widespread growth opportunities in industries across China. As a result of the global financial crisis and the inability of enterprises to gain comparable access to the same amounts of capital available in past years, there may be an adverse effect on the business climate and growth of private enterprise in the PRC. An economic slowdown could have an adverse effect on our sales and may increase our costs. Further, if economic growth slows, and if, in conjunction, inflation is allowed to proceed unchecked, our costs would likely increase, and there can be no assurance that we would be able to increase our prices to an extent that would offset the increase in our expenses.
