NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY

As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s working capital surplus was $13,652,145.

As of March 31, 2014, the amount of advances to suppliers was $16,470,855, which included the advance of a RMB 97 million ($15,735,514) prepayment by Kandi Wanning to equipment supplier - Nanjing Shangtong Auto Technologies Co., Ltd. (“Nanjing Shangton”) for an equipment purchase. The equipment will be purchased and delivered according to the construction schedule and development of Kandi Wanning. This advance will be used to off-set the equipment purchase price upon delivery.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had credit lines from commercial banks of $53,208,747, of which $33,742,132 was used as of March 31, 2014.

The Company believes that its cash flows generated internally may not be sufficient to support the growth of future operations and to repay short-term bank loans for the next twelve (12) 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.

The Company has historically financed its operations through short-term commercial bank loans from PRC banks. The term of these loans is typically for one year, and upon the payment of all outstanding principal and interest in a particular loan, the banks have typically rolled over the loan for an 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 that short-term bank loans will be available on normal trade terms if needed.

On March 24, 2014, the Company raised approximately $11.05 million from the sale to two institutional investors of an aggregate of 606,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $18.24 per share. As part of the transaction, the Company also issued to the investors warrants for the purchase of up to 90,900 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $22.80 per share, which warrants have a term of 18 months from the date of issuance.

NOTE 3 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Accounting policies adopted by the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements.

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. As a result, 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. In addition, the Company’s earnings are subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the Company’s functional currency. Accordingly, the Company’s operating results are affected by changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the RMB.

KANDI TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

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.

(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

Level 3—defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s assets, measured at fair value, on a recurring basis, subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820, were as follows:

    Fair Value           Significant        
    Measurements     Active Markets     Other     Significant  
    at Reporting     for Identical     Observable     Unobservable  
    Date Using     Assets     Inputs     Inputs  
    Quoted Prices                    
    in Carrying                    
    value as of                    
    March 31,                    
    2014     (Level 1)   (Level 2)   (Level 3)
Cash and cash equivalents $  20,498,275   $  20,498,275     -     -  
Warrants   25,347,054     -     -     25,347,054  

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 are 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 3 inputs. Also see Note 6 section (t).

(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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, represented time deposits on account, some of which were used to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable. As of March 31, 2014, the Company’ s restricted cash was $0.

(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. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value are made, if required, for estimated excess, obsolescence, or impaired balances.

(e) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in periods in which the Company determines a loss is probable, based on its assessment of specific factors, such as troubled collections, 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts, as per the management’s judgment based on their best knowledge.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the credit terms with the Company’s customers were typically 90 to 120 days after delivery.

(f) Note receivable

Notes receivable represent short-term loans to third parties with the maximum term of one year. Interest income will be recognized according to each agreement between a borrower and the Company on an accrual basis. If notes receivable are paid back, or written off, that transaction will be recognized in the relevant year if the loan default is probable, reasonably assured and the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company will recognize income if the written-off loan is recovered at a future date. In case of any foreclosure proceedings or legal actions being taken, the Company will provide an accrual for the related foreclosure expenses and related litigation expenses.

(g) Prepayments

Prepayments represent cash paid in advance to suppliers. As of March 31, 2014, prepayments included advances to raw material suppliers, mold manufacturers, and suppliers of equipment. The Company intends to pay, as a prepaid expense, certain other expenses, such as water and electricity fees.

Advances for raw materials purchases typically are settled within two months by the Company’s receipt of raw materials.

(UNAUDITED)

(h) Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the assets 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.

(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

According to Chinese laws, 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 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 the Company ships the goods to its customers and all of the following criteria are met:

12


KANDI TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

When the products are transferred to the other party while the risks are transferred to it, and at that time the Company recognizes revenue.

(m) Research and Development

Expenditures relating to the development of new products and processes, including significant improvements to existing products, are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses were $1,172,257 and $689,665 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(n) Government Grant

Grants received from the PRC Government to fund a portion of the Company’s technical research and development efforts are recognized when the proceeds are received or collectible.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not receive any grants from the PRC government.

(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 reporting period, which rates are obtained from the 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) Segments

In accordance with ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280-10”), the Company’s chief operating decision makers rely upon consolidated results of operations when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. As a result of the assessment made by the chief operating decision makers, the Company has only one single operating segment. The Company does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting.

(s) 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 common 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 require 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 option expense for the period ended March 31, 2014 was $0. See Note 18.

(t) 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 and the lattice valuation model. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common 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 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 common 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.

(u) Goodwill

The Company allocates goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. The Company evaluates its reporting units on an annual basis and, if necessary, reassigns 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. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If the more likely than not threshold is met, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test. At March 31, 2014, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired.

(v) Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of tradenames and customer relations associated with the purchase price allocation of Yongkang Scrou. Such assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 9.7 years. Intangible assets are amortized as of March 31, 2014.

NOTE 7 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-07, Applying Variable Interest Entities Guidance to Common Control Leasing Arrangements. The guidance addresses the consolidation of lessors in certain common control leasing arrangements and is based on a consensus reached by the Private Company Council (PCC). Under current U.S. GAAP, a company is required to consolidate an entity in which it has a controlling financial interest. The assessment of controlling financial interest is performed under either: (a) a voting interest model; or (b) a variable interest entity model. In a variable interest entity model, the company has a controlling financial interest when it has: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the entity; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could be potentially significant to the entity. To determine which model applies, a company preparing financial statements must first determine whether it has a variable interest in the entity being evaluated for consolidation and whether that entity is a variable interest entity. The new guidance allows a private company to elect (when certain conditions exist) not to apply the variable interest entity guidance to a lessor under common control. Instead, the private company would make certain disclosures about the lessor and the leasing arrangement.

Under the amendments in this ASU, a private company lessee could elect an alternative not to apply variable interest entity guidance to a lessor when:-The private company lessee and the lessor are under common control;-The private company lessee has a leasing arrangement with the lessor;-Substantially all of the activity between the private company lessee and the lessor is related to the leasing activities (including supporting leasing activities) between those two companies, and-If the private company lessee explicitly guarantees or provides collateral for any obligation of the lessor related to the asset leased by the private company, then the principal amount of the obligation at inception does not exceed the value of the asset leased by the private company from the lessor. If elected, the accounting alternative should be applied to all leasing arrangements meeting the above conditions. The alternative should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted for all financial statements that have not yet been made available for issuance.

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in the ASU change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. It also addresses sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance in U.S. GAAP. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. Examples include a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The new guidance also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. This disclosure will provide users with information about the ongoing trends in a reporting organization’s results from continuing operations. The amendments in this ASU enhance convergence between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Part of the new definition of discontinued operation is based on elements of the definition of discontinued operations in IFRS 5, Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. The Company does not expect the adoption of 2014-08 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 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 reporting period. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible notes (using the if-converted method). For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the number of potentially dilutive common shares was 0 and 240,507, respectively.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share:

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. Simultaneously, the Company needs to deposit restricted cash in banks to back up the bank note payable, while the restricted cash deposited in banks will generate interest income.

Notes payable are summarized as follows:

    March 31,2014     December 31,  
    (Unaudited)     2013

NOTE 17 – TAX

(a) Corporation Income Tax (“CIT”)

In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of the PRC, the applicable CIT rate is 25%. However, Kandi Vehicle is qualified as a high technology company in the PRC and is entitled to pay a reduced income tax rate of 15%.

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

Yongkang Scrou is a subsidiary of the Company and its applicable CIT rate was 25%.

Kandi Wanning is a subsidiary of the Company and its applicable CIT rate is 25%.

The Company has a 50% ownership interest in the JV Company and the JV Company’s applicable CIT rate is 25%.

Kandi Changxing is a subsidiary of the JV Company and its applicable CIT rate is 25%.

Service Company is a 19% investment of the JV Company and its applicable CIT rate is 25%.

Kandi Jinhua is a subsidiary of the JV Company and its applicable CIT rate is 25%.

JiHeKang is a subsidiary of the JV Company and its applicable CIT rate is 25%.

Kandi Shanghai is a subsidiary of the JV Company and its applicable CIT rate is 25%.

Kandi Jiangsu is a subsidiary of the JV Company and its applicable CIT rate is 25%.

The Company qualifies as a high technology company in the PRC and is entitled to pay CIT at the reduced rate of 15%. However, as the tax policy in the PRC does not allow double tax benefits, the Company’s high technology tax benefit of 10% must be reduced by the research and development tax benefits to which the Company also is entitled, which amount to 25% of an amount equal to 50% of allowable research and development expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company’s CIT before reduction for the Company’s high technology tax benefit was $240,434, or 25% of the Company’s $961,736 of taxable income for such period reduced to $377,040 after giving effect to the Company’s research and development tax credit of $146,174 (25% of 50% of $1,169,395 allowable research and development expenses) for such period. To comply with the PRC policy prohibiting double tax benefits, the Company’s high technology tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was reduced from $96,174, or 10% of the Company’s $961,736 of taxable income for such period, to $37,704, or 3.92% of such taxable income. As a result, the Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 5.88% after the research and development credit and high technology tax reduction.

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 is not done on an accrual basis but rather on a VAT taxable reporting basis. Therefore, when the Company adopted U.S. GAAP using an accrual basis, the sales cut-off CIT timing (due to the VAT reporting system) created 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 Company’s Annual Report on 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, 2014, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files income tax returns to the U.S. Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) and to states in which the Company has operations. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by the IRS and relevant state tax authorities for years after 2006. During the periods open to examination, the Company had 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 the PRC. As of March 31, 2014, the Company was not aware of any pending income tax examinations by the PRC tax authorities. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had 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.

Income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is summarized as follows:

The fair value of stock awards based on service is determined based on closing price of the common stock on the date the shares are granted. The compensation cost for awards of common stock are recognized over the requisite service period of six months.

On December 30, 2013, the Board of Directors approved a proposal (as submitted by the Compensation Committee) of an award for selected executives and other key employees comprising a total of 335,000 shares of common stock for each fiscal year, beginning with the 2013 fiscal year, under the Company’s 2008 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), if the Company’s determination that the Company’s “Non-GAAP Net Income” for the fiscal year increased by 10% comparing to that of the prior year’s. The specific number of shares of common stock to be issued in respect of such award could proportionally increase or decrease if the actual Non-GAAP Net Income increase is more or less than 10%. “Non-GAAP Net Income” means the Company’s net income for a particular year calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding option-related expenses, stock award expenses, and the effects caused by the change of fair value of financial derivatives. For example, if Non-GAAP Net Income for the 2014 fiscal year increases by 10% compared to the Non-GAAP Net Income for the 2013 fiscal year, the selected executives and other key employees will each be granted his or her target amount of common stock of the Company. If Non-GAAP Net Income in 2014 is less than Non-GAAP Net Income in 2013, then no common stock will be granted. If Non-GAAP Net Income in 2014 increases compared to Non-GAAP Net Income in 2013 but the increase is less than 10%, then the target amount of the common stock grant will be proportionately decreased. If Non-GAAP Net Income in 2014 increases compared to Non- GAAP Net Income in 2013 but the increase is more than 10%, then the target amount of the common stock grant will be proportionately increased. Any such increase in the grant will be subject to the total number of shares available under the Plan, and the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders will need to approve an increase in the number of shares reserved under the Plan if the number of shares originally reserved is used up.

The fair value of each award granted under the Plan is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant of the award. To the extent that the performance goal is not met and so no shares become due, no compensation cost is recognized and any recognized compensation cost during the applicable year is reversed. The number of shares of common stock granted under the Plan with respect to fiscal 2014 would be 1,018,839 shares according to the estimation of Non-GAAP Net Income of the whole year of 2014 based on the Non-GAAP Net Income of the first quarter of 2014. The compensation expense is recognized in General and Administrative Expenses.

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

This report 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and those set forth from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These documents are available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval System at http://www.sec.gov.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This section should be read together with the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the attached condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Policy affecting options and warrants

Our 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. Our expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of ’our common 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 recognition is based on awards expected to vest. There were no estimated forfeitures. ASC standards require forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Our 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 and the lattice valuation model. Our expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of our common 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 classified as liabilities on the balance sheet, are 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 fair value of equity-based warrants, which are not considered derivatives under ASC 815, is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Our expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of our common 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.

33


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 our accounts receivable and inventories.

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period when a loss is probable based on an assessment of specific factors, such as troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging, ongoing business relations 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. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we recorded no allowance for doubtful accounts. This determination was made per our management’s judgment, which was based on their best knowledge.

Inventory is 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. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value are made, if required, for estimated excess, obsolescence, or impaired balances. 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.

Although we believe that there is little likelihood that actual results will differ materially from 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, we could realize significant write downs for slow-moving inventories or uncollectible accounts receivable.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue recognition policy plays a key role in our consolidated financial statements. Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods sold, recognized upon the shipment of goods to customers, and 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.

The revenue recognition policies for our legacy products, including ATVs, go-karts and EVs, are the same: When the products are delivered, the associated risk of loss is deemed transferred, and at that time we recognize revenue.

Warranty Liability

Most of our non-EV products (the “Legacy Products”) are exported out of China to foreign countries that have legal and regulatory requirements with which we are not familiar. Development of warranty policies for our Legacy Products in each of these countries would be virtually impossible and prohibitively expensive. Therefore, we provide price incentives and free parts to our customers and in exchange, our customers establish appropriate warranty policies and assume warranty responsibilities. Consequently, warranty issues are taken into consideration during the price negotiation for our products. The free parts are delivered along with the products, and when products are sold, the related parts are recorded as cost of goods sold. Due to the reliable quality of our products, we have been able to maintain this warranty policy and we have not had any product liability attributed to the quality of our products.

For the EV products that we sell in China, there is a three year or 50,000 kilometer manufacturer warranty. This warranty affects us through our participation and investment in the JV Company, which manufactures the EVs.

EV Parts

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our revenues from the sale of EV parts was $25,014,066. We started this business in the first quarter of 2014, and our business has consisted primarily of the sale of battery packs and related parts.

EV Products

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our revenues from the sale of EV products increased by $6,641,054, or 384.5%, as a result of a 105.3% increase in unit sales and a 136.0% increase in the average unit price compared to the same period of last year. The significant increase was mainly attributable to the newly-added EV model –Kandi Brand SMA7000BEV, a five-door and five-seat vehicle, and SMA7001BEV, an improved model of electric vehicle, both of which are sold at a significantly higher prices. The increased unit sales were driven by sales to Hangzhou Public EV Sharing System (the “Carshare” Project).

Go-Karts

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our revenues from the sale of go-karts declined by $5,130,746, or 60.2%, as a result of a 61.3% decrease in unit sales that was partially offset by a 2.8% increase in the average unit price, in each case compared to the same period of last year. The decrease in go-Kart Sales was primarily due to the significant increase in our EV parts business in the first quarter of 2014, which was the focus of much of management’s attention.

ATV

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we increased our revenues from the sale of ATVs by $788,040, or 30.9%, as a result of a 6.0% increase in unit sales and a 23.5% increase in the average unit price compared to the same period of 2013. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the market condition for ATV products, which continued to recover, and to the increase in the average unit price resulting from a higher percentage of high-end and middle-end products sold in this reporting period.

36


Auto Generators

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our auto generators experienced a decrease in revenue of $576,003, or 90.9%, as a result of a 91.4% decrease in unit sales that was partially offset by a 6.2% increase in the average unit price compared to the same period of last year. The decrease in revenue was due to the adjustment in Yongkang Scrou’s product offering from a limited offering of auto alternators to a an offering of wider range of products, such as automobile motors, air-conditioning systems and controllers for electric vehicles. In addition to the 1,664 units of auto alternators, during the first three months ended March 31, 2014, Yongkang Scrou also sold 2,556 automobile motors, 2,800 air-conditioning systems, 2,270 EV controllers, and 2,120 sets of accelerator pedals, and recorded revenues of $3,228,327. Yongkang Scrou provides these products for use with our vehicles and JV Company’s EVs. Sales of these products to our affiliates are categorized as inter-company transactions and have been eliminated in consolidation.

Motorcycles

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our revenues from the sale of three-wheeled motorcycles declined by $66,645, or 98.5%, as a result of a 98.0% decrease in unit sales and a 26.3% decrease in the average unit price compared to the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily because we adjusted our product offering and focused our efforts on increasing EV revenues in the China market.

UTV

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our utility vehicles (“UTVs”) revenue was nil. This is mainly because we adjusted our product offering and focused our efforts on increasing our EV revenues in the China market. We plan to decrease or stop manufacturing UTV products.

Refitted Car

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we did not record any revenue from this business as we decided to discontinue this business during the third quarter of 2013 and to focus our efforts on increasing our revenues from the sale of EVs in the China market.

The following table shows the breakdown of our revenues from our customers by geographical markets based on the location of the customer during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

    Three Months Ended March 31,  
    2014     2013  
    Sales     Percentage     Sales     Percentage  
North America $  569,218     2%   $  1,628,080     11%  
China   39,075,484     97%     12,623,724     86%  
Europe & other region   526,602     1%     410,717     3%  
Total $  40,171,304     100%   $  14,662,521     100%  

(b) Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $35,310,895, representing a 212.7% increase from $11,290,490 in the corresponding period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to the increase in our sales. However, our sales increased by a lower percentage than our related costs. Our sales had a 174.0% increase in the first three months of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013; whereas our cost of goods sold increased by 212.7% in the first three months of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013. The principal reason that the percentage increase in our cost of goods sold is 38.7% higher than the percentage increase of our revenues in the same period of time is because $22,856,643 of revenue generated by our EV parts business related to products that were purchased and resold by us from third-party manufacturers with only a small mark-up over our purchase price (corresponding cost of goods sold was $22,252,987) without our accrual of labor or overhead costs. Excluding the effects caused by these transactions, the percentage increase in cost of goods sold was $2.43% less than the percentage increase of our revenue in the same period.

37


During the three months ended March 31, 2014, excluding the transactions mentioned above, our cost of raw materials was kept steady as the same period of last year. The percentage increase in our cost of raw materials was only 0.45% higher than the percentage increase of our revenues in the same period of time.

Excluding the transactions mentioned above, total wages and salaries only changed slightly in the three months ended March 31, 2014, had a relatively slower increase of 0.16% compared to the sale increase in the same period of time because the worker efficiency increase a little.

Excluding the transactions mentioned above, our other overhead costs in the three months ended March 31, 2014 had a relatively slower increase of 2.73% compared to the sales increase in the same period of time, because some low value consumption goods, such as tools, which were acquired in previous years were still being used in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The wear and tear costs for tools in the workshops booked in accounting increased in a slower pace compared to the pace of increase of our sale.

(c) Gross profit

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2014 increased 44.1% to $4,860,409, compared to $3,372,031 for the same period last year. This was attributable to our increase in revenue. However, our gross margin in the first quarter of 2014 decreased to 12.1% compared to 23.0% for the same period of 2013. This decrease was primarily due to the fact that we only recently commenced our business of selling EV parts, and related components are relatively expensive at the starting phase, therefore, sales of EV parts have a lower gross margin compared to other products.

(d) Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses were $71,257 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $89,614 for the same period in 2013, a 20.5% decrease. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in our product insurance expenses, transportation expenses and customs inspection expenses during this reporting period.

(e) General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $6,470,766 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $692,964 for the same period in 2013, a 833.8% increase. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, general and administrative expenses included $3,420,631 in expenses for common stock awards to employees and consultants for their services, compared to $17,692 for the same period in 2013. Excluding stock award costs, our net general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $3,050,135, an increase of 351.7% over the $675,272 of such expenses for the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily attributable to costs related to the capital raise that occurred in the first quarter of 2014.

(f) Research and development

Research and development expenses were $1,172,257 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $689,665 from the same period in 2013, a 70.0% increase. This increase was primarily due to our increased expenses related to our development and commercialization of our new EV model - SMA7005BEV, the development of our new auto air conditioning system, and the development of our EV intelligent control system used in our EV products.

(g) Government grants

Government grants totaled $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, same as the corresponding period in 2013.

38


(h) Net interest (expense) income

Net interest expense was $471,180 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $670,208 for the same period last year, or a decrease of 29.7% . This change was primarily attributable to an increase in interest income earned on loans made to third parties. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded interest income of $483,293, which included $471,142 earned on loans made to third parties and $12,151 earned on bank deposits. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded interest expense of $954,473, which included bank loan interest of $578,647 and bond interest of $375,826.

(i) Change in fair value of financial instruments

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the expense related to changes in the fair value of warrants issued to investors and placement agents was $12,314,171, compared to income of $990,395 for the same period of last year.

(j) Share of (Loss) of Associated Company

Investment losses were $15,805 for the first three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to a loss of $14,023 for the corresponding period in 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, these losses were attributable to our 30% equity interest investment in Jinhua Service.

(k) Share of Profit (Loss) after Tax of the JV Company

The JV Company recorded income of $1,656,824 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. As a result, we had a profit of $828,412 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 due to our 50% interest in the JV Company. We believe the JV Company will continue to generate profits in the future, particularly as demand for our EV products continues to build in China. Also refer to Note 21.

(l) Other Income, Net

Other income was $59,580 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $122,365 for the same period of last year, a decrease of $62,785, or 51.3% . This decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in lease income we received during this reporting period.

(m) Net income

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded a net loss of $14,086,160, compared to net income of $2,236,873 for the same period of last year. This decrease was primarily caused by changes relating to stock awards to management, changes in the fair value of financial derivatives and increases in our general and administrative expenses, as discussed above.

Excluding the effects of the stock award expense, which was $3,420,631 and $17,692 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and the change of the fair value of financial derivatives, which was an expense of $12,314,171 and income of $990,395 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, our net income was $1,648,642, an increase 30.4% compared to net income of $1,264,170 for the same period of 2013, excluding the same effects. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in gross profit and share of our profits of the JV Company, which were offset in part by the increased general and administrative expenses.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

We had a working capital surplus of $13,652,145 as of March 31, 2014, compared to a working capital surplus of $43,892,558 as of March 31, 2013.

39


As of March 31, 2014, the amount of advances to suppliers was $16,470,855, which included the advance paid to raw material suppliers, mold manufactures, and suppliers of equipment.

As of March 31, 2014, we had credit lines from commercial banks of $53,208,747, of which $33,742,132 was used as of March 31, 2014.

We believe that our cash flows generated internally may not be sufficient to support the future growth in our operations and to repay short-term bank loans for the next twelve (12) months, if needed. However, we believe our access to existing financing sources and established relationships with PRC banks will enable us to meet our obligations and fund our ongoing operations.

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

On March 24, 2014, we raised approximately $11.05 million by selling an aggregate of 606,000 shares of our common stock to two institutional investors at a price of $18.24 per share. As part of the transaction, we also issued to the investors warrants for the purchase of up to 90,900 shares of common stock at an exercise price of 22.80 per share, which warrants have a term of 18 months from the date of issuance.

Cash Flow

Net cash flow used in operating activities was ($3,046,451) for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to net cash flow used in operating activities of ($278,152) for the same period in 2013. This change was mainly attributable to changes in our cash flow caused by prepayments and prepaid expenses. The account has changed to a cash outflow of (7,691,861) for the three months ended 2014, compared to a cash inflow of $2,717,021 for the same period last year. This change was mainly attributable to our prepayment of a significant percentage of our equipment purchases and an increase in the amount due from JV Company.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was ($21,672,906) for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to ($16,052,560) used in the same reporting period of last year. This increase was mainly attributable to the fact that we made loans in the principal amount of ($21,553,430) to unrelated third parties during the 2014 period, while during the three months ended March 31, 2013, we made third-party loans of only $(1,940,690).

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $32,658,896 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to net cash flow provided by financing activities of $8,055,062 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Cash flow provided by financing activities in the 2014 quarter was primarily attributable to the financing we closed in March 2014 and the cash received upon the exercise of warrants during the first quarter of 2014.

41


Recent Development Activities:

In March 2014, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain purchasers (the “4th round investors”) pursuant to which we sold to the 4th round investors, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 606,000 shares of common stock at a negotiated purchase price of $18.24 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to our company of approximately $11,053,440, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. As part of the transaction, the 4th round investors also received warrants for the purchase of up to 90,900 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $22.80 per share (the “Fifth Round Warrants”). The Fifth Round Warrants have a term of eighteen months and are exercisable by the holders at any time after the date of issuance.

In April 2014, to meet the market demands for pure EVs, Kandi Vehicles, our wholly-owned subsidiary in China, signed a one-year supply contract with Lishen Battery System Co., Ltd ("Tianjin Lishen"), China’s largest producer of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, for a minimum of 25,000 cases of 80V/70AH lithium-ion batteries starting in May 2014. The contract is valued roughly at RMB360 million or approximately $58.5 million when all the purchase orders have been fulfilled. We also signed a supply contract with Tianjin SinoPoly New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.(“Tianjin SinoPoly”) for supplying 300,000 units of 3.2V -66AH lithium-ion batteries, which valued at approximately RMB 135 million or approximately $22 million.

At the end of April 2014, the board of JV Company came to a decision to initiate the negotiations with Jiaxin Jiale Investment Partnership Co., Ltd. to acquire 51% ownership of Zhejiang ZuoZhongYou Electric Vehicle Service Co., Ltd., or the Service Company (as defined elsewhere in this report) it holds. If this acquisition is accomplished, the JV Company will have a 70% ownership interest in the Service Company, and the Company will indirectly own a 35% interest. We believe this acquisition would help the expansion of the “Carshare” Projects in China, and enable our Company to have a larger percentage of any profits earned by that entity. We anticipate to release news in time when this acquisition is accomplished.

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 has evaluated, under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014. This is done in order to ensure that information the Company is required to disclose in reports that are filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

42


Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2014, due to significant deficiencies in internal controls, which, in the aggregate, lead to a conclusion that a material weakness exists in the control environment as follows:

  1.

Lack of adequate policies and procedures in internal audit function, which may potentially result in: (1) lack of communication between internal audit department and the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors; (2) insufficient internal audit work to ensure that the Company's policies and procedures have been carried out as planned.

     
  2.

There was no self-assessment performed by the Audit Committee to assess the effectiveness of the Audit Committee in oversight of management.

     
  3.

Inadequate design of internal controls over the approval procedures for related party transactions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the first quarter of 2014, we made arrangements to insure the efficient and timely communication between the internal control audit department and the Audit Committee. The internal audit department was restructured that its head has reported directly to Audit Committee on major accounting items to enhance the independence and objectivity of the department. Currently, the internal audit department has also revaluated the policies and procedures in internal audit function, and made necessary remediation. The new internal audit policies and procedures are in the process of approval and are expected to be approved by the end of May 2014.

During the first quarter of 2014, our Board of Directors also revaluated the approval procedures for related party transactions, and has prepared a new detail approval procedure for related party transactions. This is in the process of finalization, which is expected to be approved by our Board of Directors by the end of May 2014.

Other than with respect to the ongoing remediation of the material weakness pursuant to the plan described above, 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.
