Explanatory Note

Kandi Technologies, Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-Q/A to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on  August 16, 2010 and amended on June 8, 2011(the “Original Form 10-Q”), to make certain corrections as to (i) the disclosure with respect to the default judgment of legal proceeding in Missouri and (ii) management’s evaluation on controls and procedures.

Item 6 of Part II of this report has been revised to contain the currently-dated certifications from our principal executive officer and chief accounting officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Because this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Form 10-Q in its entirety, it includes both items that have been changed as a result of the amendment and items that are unchanged from the Original Form 10-Q. Other than the revision of the disclosures as discussed above, this Form 10-Q/A speaks as of the original filing date and has not been updated to reflect other events occurring subsequent to the original filing date. This includes forward-looking statements and all other sections of this Form 10-Q/A that were not directly impacted by the amendment, which should be read in their historical context. The following items have been amended:

Part I,  Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Part II, Item 6. Exhibits.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
 
Stone Mountain Resources, Inc. (“Stone Mountain”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 31, 2004. On August 13, 2007, Stone Mountain Resources, Inc. changed its name to Kandi Technologies, Corp. (the “Company”).
 
 On June 29, 2007, pursuant to the share exchange agreement between Stone Mountain Resources, Inc., Continental Development Limited, (“Continental”) and Excelvantage (Continental’s sole shareholder), Stone Mountain issued 12,000,000 shares of its common stock to Excelvantage, in exchange for 100% of the common stock of Continental. As a result of the share exchange, Continental became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stone Mountain. Kandi Technologies, Corp. conducts its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary, Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co. Ltd., a People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) company.
 
 On June 24, 2008 the Company closed its acquisition of 100% of the shares of Kandi Special Vehicles Co., Ltd (“KSV”), after which KSV became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 “Business Combinations.” The consolidated statements of income include the results of operations of KSV at the date of acquisition. On March 10, 2009, KSV changed its name to Kandi New Energy Vehicles Co., Ltd, (“KNE”). On June 11, 2009, KNE changed its name back to KSV.
 
On May 9, 2008, the Company sold Zhejiang Yongkang Top Import & Export Co., Ltd. (“Dingji”), a subsidiary of the Company, to certain individuals.
 
The primary operations of the Company are the design, development, manufacturing, and commercializing of all-terrain vehicles, go-karts, and specialized automobile related products for the PRC and global export markets. Sales are made to dealers in Asia, North America, Europe and Australia.  In recent years, an increased focus of the Company has been on the development of products for its domestic market in China, particularly battery powered all electric super-mini automobiles (EVs).  In November, 2009, the Company sold 30 specially designed low speed EVs to the Postal Service in Jinhua, and in July, 2010, the Company announced that it received an order from the Postal Service in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, for 60 all electric vehicles.
 
On January 4, 2010, the Company announced that it formed an alliance with major Chinese energy, IT and battery companies to help launch a new business model for the mass commercialization of EVs to be expanded on a city by city basis, addressing key concerns relating to EVs, including high purchase costs, limited driving ranges and convenience and safety matters with respect to the charging, maintenance and disposal of batteries.  Under this new business model, consumer costs will be reduced as a result of government cooperation and subsidies, and driving ranges will be extended through the establishment of a network of battery stations where batteries may be rented and exchanged utilizing Kandi technology.  Central to the new business strategy, batteries will be made available on a rental basis separate from the sale of each vehicle.  An initial goal of the Alliance is the establishment of a revolutionary comprehensive model EV city in Jinhua to be followed by other model cities in Zhejiang Province with the assistance and participation of the local and regional governments.  The core members of the alliance with the Company are China Potevio/CNOOC New Energy and Power Ltd. (a joint venture between China National Offshore Oil Corporation and China Potevio Co.) and Tianneng Power International, Ltd.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
JUNE 30, 2010 (UNAUDITED)
 
 In April, 2010, the Company announced that it anticipated that government funded subsidies for up to 50% of the purchase price of EVs would be made available to the first 3,000 purchasers of the Company’s EVs.  On April 30, 2010, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information and Technology qualified the Company’s low speed vehicle (KD5020X) for China’s energy conserving and new energy projects.   The vehicle was placed on its list of vehicles in its 10th catalogue of recommended car types which meet requirements for sales to the public.  On June 1, 2010, the Chinese Ministry of Finance (MOF) announced planned trial subsidies for China’s EV and hybrid car manufacturers of up to RMB 60,000 and RMB 50,000, respectively, as part of an effort to stimulate purchases of these vehicles to help reduce emissions and gasoline consumption.  Additionally, the announcement indicated there will be government investment and policy support for EV infrastructure, such as battery charging stations.  The announcement noted that the trial will be initiated in five Chinese cities: Shanghai, Hangzhou, Changchun, Shenzen and Hefei.  On June 21, 2010, the Company announced that another EV product, Model KD 5010XXYEV, was also approved for sale in China.
 
On July 16, 2010, the Company announced that construction of the first battery charging station was underway in Jinhua.  The State Grid Corporation of China, China’s largest electric power and transmission company, is funding the project and is responsible for construction, which is expected to be completed before the end of 2010.
 
NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY
 
 The Company’s working capital surplus is $682,171 as of June 30, 2010.
 
 As of June 30, 2010, the Company had credit lines from commercial banks for $34,808,918, of which $27,465,265 was used at June 30, 2010.
 
The Company believes that its cash flows generated internally may not be sufficient to sustain operations and repay short term bank loans for the next twelve months. Therefore, from time to time, the Company may require extra funding through short term borrowing from PRC banks or other financing activities if needed in the near future. Nevertheless, the Company believes that financing will be available on normal trade terms if needed.
 
NOTE 3 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
 
However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2009 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

NOTE 4 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kandi Technologies Corp., and the following subsidiaries:
 
(i)
Continental Development Ltd. (“Continental”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company;
 
(ii)
Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co. Ltd. (“Kandi”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Continental; and
 
(iii)
Kandi Special Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“KSV”, formerly known as Kandi New Energy Vehicles Co. Ltd. “KNE”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
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.
 
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
 
(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
SFAS 157 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.

Warrants
  $ 1,507,574       -     $ 1,507,574       -  

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of high rated money market funds at a variety of well-known institutions with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash represents time deposits on account to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable. The original cost of these assets approximates fair value due to their short term maturity.
 
Warrants and conversion features embedded in the Convertible Notes, which are accounted as liabilities, are treated as derivative instruments, which will be measured at each reporting date for their fair value using Level 2 inputs. Also see Note 6 section (r) and (s).
 
The Company’s non-financial assets are measured on a recurring basis. These non-financial assets are measured for impairment annually on the Company’s measurement date at the reporting unit level using Level 3 inputs. For most assets, SFAS 157 requires that the impact of changes resulting from its application be applied prospectively in the year in which the statement is initially applied.
 
The Company’s non-financial assets measured on a non-recurring basis include the Company’s property, plant and equipment and finite-use intangible assets which are measured for recoverability when indicators for impairment are present. SFAS 157 requires companies to disclose assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis in the period in which the remeasurement at fair value is performed. The Company has reviewed its long-lived assets as of June 30, 2010 and determined that there are no significant assets to be tested for recoverability under SFAS 144 and as such, no fair value measurements related to non-financial assets have been made during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
 
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Restricted cash on June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 represent time deposits on account to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable. Also see Notes 14 and 15.

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 the basis of weighted average. The cost of finished goods is determined on the weighted average basis and comprises direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.
 
Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less any further costs expected to be incurred for completion and selling expense.
 
(e) Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.
 
(f) Prepayments
 
Prepayments represent cash paid in advance to suppliers for raw materials purchases.
 
(g) 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
Moulds
 
  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.
 
(h) Construction in Progress
 
Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction or the acquisition cost of buildings or machinery and design fees. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until the assets are completed and ready for their intended use.

(i) Land Use Rights
 
According to the laws of China, land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to an individual or a company.  However, the government grants the user a “land use right” to use the land.   The land use rights granted to the Company are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of fifty years.
 
(j) Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review, pursuant to the guidelines established in ASC No. 350. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
 
During the reporting period, there was no impairment loss.
 
(k) Revenue Recognition
 
Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods sold, recognized upon the shipment of goods to customers. Revenues are recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
 
 
·
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
 
 
·
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
 
 
·
The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
 
 
·
Collectability is reasonably assured.
 
(l) 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 $743,768 and $1,106,973 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
(m) Government Grant
 
Grants received from the PRC Government for assisting in the Company’s technical research and development efforts are netted against the relevant costs incurred when the proceeds are received or collectible.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, $75,789 and $124,005 was received from the PRC government for the Company’s contribution to the local economy.

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

(p) 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.
 
(q) 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 option related expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is $1,152,050. Also see Note 17.

(r) Warrant Cost
 
The Company’s warrant costs are recorded in liabilities and equities, respectively, in accordance with ASC 480, ASC 505 and ASC 815.
 
The fair value of warrant is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the warrant. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
 
Company determined that the equity based warrants are not considered derivatives under ASC 815, while the warrants, which are freestanding derivatives and are classified as liabilities on the balance sheet, will be measured at fair value on each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as interest expense.
 
(s) Fair Value of Conversion features
 
In accordance with ASC 815, the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes is separated from the debt instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument. On the date the Convertible Notes are issued, the conversion feature was recorded as a liability at its fair value, and future changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings as interest expense.
 
The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to obtain the fair value of the conversion feature. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the conversion features. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the conversion features is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Recently Implemented Standards
 
 ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162) reorganized by topic existing accounting and reporting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) into a single source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. All guidance contained in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) carries an equal level of authority. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Accordingly, all other accounting literature will be deemed “non-authoritative.” ASC 105 is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company has implemented the guidance included in ASC 105 as of July 1, 2009. The implementation of this guidance changed the Company’s references to GAAP authoritative guidance but did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
ASC 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events) includes guidance that was issued by the FASB in May 2009, and is consistent with current auditing standards in defining a subsequent event. Additionally, the guidance provides for disclosure regarding the existence and timing of a company’s evaluation of its subsequent events. ASC 855 defines two types of subsequent events, “recognized” and “non-recognized.” Recognized subsequent events provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet and are required to be reflected in the financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date and, therefore, are not required to be reflected in the financial statements. However, certain non-recognized subsequent events may require disclosure to prevent the financial statements from being misleading. This guidance was effective prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company implemented the guidance included in ASC 855 as of July 1, 2009. The effect of implementing this guidance was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
 In August 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (“ASC Update No. 2009-05”). This update amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and provides further guidance on measuring the fair value of a liability. The guidance establishes the types of valuation techniques to be used to value a liability when a quoted market price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, such as the use of an identical or similar liability when traded as an asset. The guidance also further clarifies that a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are both Level 1 fair value measurements. If adjustments are required to be applied to the quoted price, it results in a Level 2 or 3 fair value measurement. The guidance provided in the update is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The Company has implemented ASC Update No. 2009-05 as of June 30, 2010.
 
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) (“ASC Update No. 2009-12”). This update sets forth guidance on using the net asset value per share provided by an investee to estimate the fair value of an alternative investment. Specifically, the update permits a reporting entity to measure the fair value of this type of investment on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if all or substantially all of the underlying investments used in the calculation of the net asset value is consistent with ASC 820. The update also requires additional disclosures by each major category of investment, including, but not limited to, fair value of underlying investments in the major category, significant investment strategies, redemption restrictions, and unfunded commitments related to investments in the major category. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009 with early application permitted. The Company does not expect that the implementation of ASC Update No. 2009-12 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2009, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“Statement No. 167”). Statement No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”) to require an analysis to determine whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has (a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. The statement requires an ongoing assessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity when the holders of the entity, as a group, lose power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the actions that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance. This statement also enhances disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities. Statement No. 167 is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. Although Statement No. 167 has not been incorporated into the Codification, in accordance with ASC 105, the standard shall remain authoritative until it is integrated. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement No. 167 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (“Statement No. 166”). Statement No. 166 revises FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Extinguishment of Liabilities a replacement of FASB Statement 125 (“Statement No. 140”) and requires additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and any continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It also eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and enhances disclosure requirements. Statement No. 166 is effective prospectively, for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim and annual periods thereafter. Although Statement No. 166 has not been incorporated into the Codification, in accordance with ASC 105, the standard shall remain authoritative until it is integrated. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement No. 166 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 16 – TAX
 
(a) Corporation Income Tax (“CIT”)
 
On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China approved the Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “new CIT law”), which went into effect on January 1, 2008. In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of the PRC, the applicable corporate income tax rate is 25%.
 
Prior to January 1, 2008, the CIT rate applicable to the Company is 33%. Kandi’s first profitable tax year for income tax purposes as a foreign-invested company was 2007. As a foreign-invested company, the income tax rate of Kandi is entitled to a 50% tax holiday based on 25% for the years from 2009 through 2011. During the transition period, the above tax concession granted to the Company prior to the new CIT law will be grandfathered according to the interpretations of the new CIT law.
 
KSV is a subsidiary of the Company and its applicable corporate income tax rate is 25%.
 
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. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of June 30, 2010, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years after 2005. During the periods open to examination, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since these NOLs may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination. The Company also files certain tax returns in China. As of June 30, 2010 the Company was not aware of any pending income tax examinations by China tax authorities. The Company's policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company has not recorded a provision for U.S federal income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2010 due to the net operating loss carry forward in the United States.

Under a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2010, by and among the Company and certain investors thereto, the Company issued a total of $10 million of senior secured convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) and warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 800,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Investor Warrants”), for gross proceeds of $10 million.  The Convertible Notes, which accrue interest at a rate of 6% per annum, will mature in two years following the closing date of the offering and are initially convertible, at the option of the holders, into shares of Common Stock at $6.25 per share.  As of January 21, 2010, at the price of $6.25 per share, the Convertible Notes were convertible into 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock.  The Investor Warrants, which are exercisable for a period of three years following the closing date, are initially exercisable for shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.5625 per share as of January 21, 2010.  Included in the associated issuance costs is the fair value of 80,000 warrants issued to a placement agent.  These warrants have the same terms and conditions as the Investor Warrants issued to the investors.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes and the Investor Warrants, on May 18, 2010, the conversion price of the Convertible Notes was adjusted to $3.5924 per share and the exercise price of the Investor Warrants and warrants issued to the placement agent was adjusted to $4.3907 per share. As of June 30, 2010, the investors had converted $1,825,000 of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes into an aggregate of 508,507 shares of Common Stock, of which 260,000 shares were converted at the initial conversion price of $6.25, and 248,507 additional shares of Common Stock were issued at the adjusted conversion price of $3.5924.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
 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.

 
34

 

The stock based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is $1,152,050, among which $808,223 and $343,827 was allocated to selling expense and distribution expenses, and general and administrative expenses, respectively.
 
 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 warrants 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.
 
The Company determined that the equity based warrants are not considered derivatives under ASC 815, while the warrants, which are freestanding derivatives and are classified as liabilities on the balance sheet, will be measured at fair value on each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as interest expense.
 
As of June 30, 2010, the fair value per share of the warrants issued under the Consulting Agreement with the exercise price of $2.00 is $4.56, the fair value per share of the warrants issued under the Consulting Agreement with the exercise price of $2.50 is $4.48, and the fair value per share of the Investor Warrants and the warrants issued to placement agents of the Convertible Notes is $1.71.
 
Fair Value of Conversion Features
 
In accordance with ASC 815, the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes is separated from the debt instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument. On the date the Convertible Notes are issued, the conversion feature was recorded as a liability at its fair value, and future changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings as interest expense.
 
The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to obtain the fair value of the conversion feature. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the 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. As of June 30, 2010, the fair value of conversion features is $1.44 per share.
 
Remeasurement at Fair Value of Financial Instruments & Non-Financial Assets
 
The Company measured the fair value of warrants and conversion features embedded in the Convertible Notes as of June 30, 2010 using the Black-Scholes-Merton model with the inputs effective at measurement date. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the fair value of Investor Warrants and warrants issued to placement agents has decreased $1,380,840, and the fair value of conversion features has decreased $394,969. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, $742,396 of the value of the conversion features has been exercised to convert $1,825,000 principal of the Convertible Notes into the Company’s Common Stock.

 
35

 

The Company’s non-financial assets measured on a non-recurring basis include the Company’s property, plant and equipment and finite-use intangible assets which are measured for recoverability when indicators for impairment are present. SFAS 157 requires companies to disclose assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis in the period in which the remeasurement at fair value is performed. The Company has reviewed its long-lived assets as of June 30, 2010 and determined that there are no significant assets to be tested for recoverability under SFAS 144 and as such, no fair value measurements related to non-financial assets have been made during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Debt Discount
 
Since the objective of the services provided by the consultant was to help the Company to close a financing, the expense of warrants issued to consultants, which is measured at the date when the consultant’s services are considered to be performed using the Black-Scholes model, is included in the debt discount, together with the expense of conversion features embedded in the Convertible Notes and expense of Investor Warrants and warrants issued to placement agents, which are measured as of the issuance date of Convertible Notes. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes payable using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2010, the amount of debt discount is $6,997,517.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods sold, recognized upon the shipment of goods to customers. Revenues are recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
 
·      Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
 
·      Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
 
·      The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
 
·      Collectability is reasonably assured.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recently Implemented Standards
 
ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162) reorganized by topic existing accounting and reporting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) into a single source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. All guidance contained in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) carries an equal level of authority. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Accordingly, all other accounting literature will be deemed “non-authoritative.” ASC 105 is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company has implemented the guidance included in ASC 105 as of July 1, 2009. The implementation of this guidance changed the Company’s references to GAAP authoritative guidance but did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 
36

 

ASC 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events) includes guidance that was issued by the FASB in May 2009, and is consistent with current auditing standards in defining a subsequent event. Additionally, the guidance provides for disclosure regarding the existence and timing of a company’s evaluation of its subsequent events. ASC 855 defines two types of subsequent events, “recognized” and “non-recognized.” Recognized subsequent events provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet and are required to be reflected in the financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date and, therefore; are not required to be reflected in the financial statements. However, certain non-recognized subsequent events may require disclosure to prevent the financial statements from being misleading. This guidance was effective prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company implemented the guidance included in ASC 855 as of July 1, 2009. The effect of implementing this guidance was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (“ASC Update No. 2009-05”). This update amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and provides further guidance on measuring the fair value of a liability. The guidance establishes the types of valuation techniques to be used to value a liability when a quoted market price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, such as the use of an identical or similar liability when traded as an asset. The guidance also further clarifies that a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are both Level 1 fair value measurements. If adjustments are required to be applied to the quoted price, it results in a level 2 or 3 fair value measurement. The guidance provided in the update is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The Company has implemented ASC Update No. 2009-05 as of June 30, 2010.
 
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) (“ASC Update No. 2009-12”). This update sets forth guidance on using the net asset value per share provided by an investee to estimate the fair value of an alternative investment. Specifically, the update permits a reporting entity to measure the fair value of this type of investment on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if all or substantially all of the underlying investments used in the calculation of the net asset value is consistent with ASC 820. The update also requires additional disclosures by each major category of investment, including, but not limited to, fair value of underlying investments in the major category, significant investment strategies, redemption restrictions, and unfunded commitments related to investments in the major category. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009 with early application permitted. The Company does not expect that the implementation of ASC Update No. 2009-12 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“Statement No. 167”). Statement No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”) to require an analysis to determine whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has (a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. The statement requires an ongoing assessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity when the holders of the entity, as a group, lose power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the actions that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance. This statement also enhances disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities. Statement No. 167 is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. Although Statement No. 167 has not been incorporated into the Codification, in accordance with ASC 105, the standard shall remain authoritative until it is integrated. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement No. 167 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (“Statement No. 166”). Statement No. 166 revises FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Extinguishment of Liabilities a replacement of FASB Statement 125 (“Statement No. 140”) and requires additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and any continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It also eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and enhances disclosure requirements. Statement No. 166 is effective prospectively, for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim and annual periods thereafter. Although Statement No. 166 has not been incorporated into the Codification, in accordance with ASC 105, the standard shall remain authoritative until it is integrated. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement No. 166 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

(a) Revenue
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our revenue increased by 91.5%, from $9,487,455 to $18,166,224 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. This is primarily due to the Company’s continuing efforts to develop new markets outside North America and due to the recovery of global economy, which has enhanced the customer demands for the Company’s products, particularly the recreational vehicle lines. In addition, the sales of the Company’s electric vehicle has grown significantly in 2010, which has contributed to the increase in revenue.
 
The following table lists the number of vehicles sold and sales revenue, categorized by vehicle type, within the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

(b) Cost of goods sold
 
Cost of goods sold during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $13,963,654, representing a 97.7% increase of $7,063,351 from the six months ended June 30, 2009, which corresponded with the increase in sales. Cost of goods sold was 76.9% of the total revenue for the period, as compared to 74.5% of the comparable period, reflecting the increased price of raw manufacturing materials whose costs were comparatively higher than those of previous year.

(c) Gross profit
 
Gross profit for the first half of 2010 increased 73.4%, from $2,424,104 to $4,202,570 from the same period in 2009, as a result of the increase in revenue, although higher material costs caused the increase in gross profit to lag behind the increase in revenue.
 
(d) Selling and distribution expenses
 
Selling and distribution expenses were $942,013 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $183,994 from the same period in 2009, representing a 412% increase.  The significant increase in these expenses was the result of the expense related to the options issued to consultants for their services assisting the Company in expanding within the Chinese market. Excluding the $808,223 option related expense, the net selling and distribution expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $133,790, a 27.3% decrease from the same period of 2009, primarily due to the $30,060 decrease in insurance expense and $57,082 decrease in advertising fee, although this decrease was partially offset by an increase in shipping costs of $15,295, about 36%, compared to the same period of 2009, due to the increased sales.
 
(e) General and administrative expenses
 
General and administrative expenses were $1,797,872 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1,456,210 for the same period in 2009, representing a 23.5% increase.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the general and administrative expenses included $522,646 expenses for shares of common stock awards to consultants for financing and investor relations services. In addition to the stock award expense, the general and administrative expenses also included $343,827 in stock-based compensation costs for the options issued to the Company’s executives and managerial level employees, while for the same period of last year, this stock based compensation cost was $525,292. Excluding the effect of stock award cost and option cost, the net general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $931,399, almost equal to $930,918 for the same period of 2009.
 
(f) Research and development
 
Research and development expenses were $743,768 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1,106,973 from the same period in 2009, representing a 32.8% decrease. The decrease was due to a significant curtailment of research and development expenses associated with the electric-powered super-mini car, CoCo.
 
(g) Government grants
 
Government grants totaled $75,789 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, representing a 38.9% decrease over the same period in 2009.

(h) Other income, Net
 
Net other income was $57,859 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of 80.9% from $302,185 for the same period of 2009. This is primarily due to a damage award amount of $216,034 that the Company received in the second quarter of 2009 from a lawsuit against Zhejiang Yuegong Steel Structure Co. and Zhejiang Jinhua No.1 Construction Co., Ltd. for their delay in the construction in the Jinhua Industrial District.
 
(i) Net interest income (expense)
 
Net interest income was $333,273 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $418,557 interest expense for the same period last year, representing a significant change. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the interest expense for the Convertible Notes was $253,425, and the interest expense incurred by the amortization of debt discount was $492,099, while the interest income, which was caused by the changes of fair value of Investor Warrants issued to Convertible Notes investors and placement agents, and the changes of fair value of conversion features embedded in Convertible Notes, was $1,775,809. Excluding the effects of interest expense and interest income related to Convertible Notes, the interest expense for this reporting period was $697,012, increased 66.5% from $418,557 for the same period of 2009.  This was primarily due to the decrease of interest income earned from the note receivables issued to third parties and from bank deposits, which decreased $359,927 compared to the same period of 2009.
 
(j) Net income (loss)
 
The operating performance of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2010 reflected a net income of $1,010,782, significantly improved from a net loss of $356,525 for the same period of last year, primarily due to the increase of sales and gross profit, and the significant decrease in interest expense.
 
Excluding the effects of option related expenses, the effects caused by the Convertible Notes, and the change of the fair value of financial derivative, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company’s net income was $1,655,193, while the net income was only $168,767 for the same period of 2009 excluding same effects.

(a) Revenue
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, our revenue increased by 80.8%, from $5,481,551 to $9,911,884 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. This is primarily due to the Company’s continued efforts to maintain the growth achieved so far in 2010, through developing new markets and promoting the Company’s new products, such as the Company’s electric vehicle.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, about 95% of sales to China are sales to Chinese export agents, who resell the company’s products to North America, Europe, and other regions.
 
(b) Cost of goods sold
 
Cost of goods sold during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $7,559,235, representing an 87.2% increase of $4,037,629 from the three months ended June 30, 2009, which corresponds with the increase in sales. Cost of goods sold was 76.3% of the total revenue for the period, as compared to 73.7% of the comparable period last year, which is primarily due to the increased price of raw manufacturing materials.
 
(c) Gross profit
 
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased 62.9%, from $1,443,922 to $2,352,649 from the same period in 2009, which is mainly the result of the increase in revenue. Although for the three months ended June 30, 2010, the gross margin dropped to 23.7% from 26.3% for the same period of last year, largely due to the higher material cost, the gross margin for the second quarter of 2010 increased from 22.4% for the first quarter of 2010, reflecting the Company’s cost management efforts in this environment of increasing manufacturing cost.

(d) Selling and distribution expenses
 
Selling and distribution expenses were $89,685 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $97,810 from the same period in 2009, representing an 8.3% decrease.  Excluding the $27,321 expense related to options issued to consultants for their services assisting the Company in expanding into the Chinese market, the net selling and distribution expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $62,364, a 36.2% decrease from the same period of 2009, primarily because the advertising fee for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $36,550 lower than the amount occurred for the same period of last year.
 
(e) General and administrative expenses
 
General and administrative expenses were $1,147,061 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $678,278 for the same period in 2009, representing a 69.1% increase.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the general and administrative expenses included $522,646 expenses for shares of common stock awarded to consultants financing and investor relations services. In addition to the stock award expense, the general and administrative expenses also included $143,261 in stock-based compensation costs for the options issued to the Company’s executives and managerial level employees, while for the same period of last year, this stock based compensation cost was $315,175. Excluding the effect of stock award cost and option cost, the net general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $481,154, an increase of 32.5% from $363,103 for the same period of 2009. This increase was primarily the result of the increase of expenses incurred by the Company’s increased activities in investor relations and capital markets compared to the same period of 2009.
 
(f) Other income, Net
 
Net other income was $10,801 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of 95.6% from $245,971 for the same period of 2009, mainly due to a damage award in the amount of $216,034 that the Company received in the second quarter of 2009 from a lawsuit against Zhejiang Yuegong Steel Structure Co. and Zhejiang Jinhua No.1 Construction Co., Ltd. for their delay in the construction in the Jinhua Industrial District.
 
 (g) Net interest expense
 
Net interest income was $541,224 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $109,253 for the same period last year. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the interest expense on the Convertible Notes was $135,683, and the interest expense incurred by the amortization of debt discount was $252,733, while the interest income, which was affected by the changes of fair value of Investor Warrants and warrants issued to placement agents, and the changes of fair value of conversion features embedded in Convertible Notes, was $1,213,169. Excluding the effects of interest expense related to Convertible Notes, the net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $283,529, an increase of 159.5% from $109,253 for the same period of 2009. This was primarily due to the decrease in interest income earned from the note receivables issued to third parties and from bank term deposits, which decreased $152,048 compared to the same period of 2009.

 
45

 

(h) Net (loss) income
 
The operating performance of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2010 reflected a net income of $1,188,767, which is significantly improved from a net income of $226,373 for the same period of last year, primarily due to the increase in sales and gross profit, and the improvement in interest income.
 
Excluding the effects of option related expenses, the effects caused by the Convertible Notes, and the change of the fair value of financial derivative, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company’s net income was $1,057,242, while the net income was $541,548 for the same period of 2009 excluding same effects.
 
Financial Condition
 
Working Capital
 
The Company had a working capital surplus of $682,171 at June 30, 2010, an improvement from a working capital deficit of $14,140,556 as of June 30, 2009, which was principally due to the Company’s issuance of $10,000,000 long-term Convertible Notes in January 2010 and using the proceeds in the Company’s working capital. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company also recorded a net cash inflow from the operating activities, which also increased the Company’s working capital.
 
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had credit lines from commercial banks for $34,808,918, of which $27,465,265 was used at June 30, 2010. The Company believes that its cash flows generated internally may not be sufficient to sustain operations and repay short term bank loans for the next twelve months. Therefore, from time to time, the Company may require extra funding through short term borrowing from PRC banks or other financing activities if needed in the near future.
 
The Company has historically financed itself through short-term commercial bank loans from PRC banks.  The term of these loans are typically for one year, and upon the payment of all outstanding principal and interest in a respective loan, the banks have typically rolled over the loans for additional one-year terms, with adjustments made to the interest rate to reflect prevailing market rates. The Company believes this situation has not changed and the short-term bank loan will be available on normal trade terms if needed.

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $11,733,940 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to net cash flow used in financing activities of $933,473 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in this Form 10-Q, and in other reports required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms for such filings. Management of the Company, under the direction of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15a(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2010. Based on that review and evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with other key management of the Company,  have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2010 due to the late acknowledgement and disclosure of the litigation in Missouri.
 
The Company has reevaluated its disclosure controls and procedures and has changed those controls to require immediate notification to the Executive Vice President of the Company in the U.S. and the general outside counsel of any threatened or initiated litigation.
 
In connection with the evaluation described above, we identified no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.
 
There are two lawsuits currently pending in Ripley County, Missouri against the Company and its subsidiary Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd.(“Kandi Vehicles”), Kandi Investment Group, SunL and other parties, and they are related to two persons who died in an accident on March 3, 2006 while operating a go-cart allegedly manufactured by the Kandi Vehicles.  Kandi Investment Group was a major shareholder of Kandi Vehicles but it transferred all its equity in Kandi Vehicles to Continental Development Limited in November 2006. Since then, Kandi Investment Group has been unrelated to the Company or its affiliates.

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

The Company intends to defend these cases vigorously and expects to prevail in this lawsuit since neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries manufactured the vehicle involved in the accident. The Company has established by reference to the VIN number on the vehicle that the manufacturer of the vehicle was not Kandi Vehicles but a different manufacturer. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries actually has, to the best of our knowledge, any involvement with respect to the subject vehicle. The Company intends to propound discovery on the plaintiffs and will attempt to have the cases dismissed by summary judgment, if possible. 
 
Item 1A.  Risk Factors.
 
As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2009. 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.
