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 purchase in
accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141
“Business Combinations,” the consolidated statements of income include the
result 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 May 9,
2008, the Company sold Zhejiang Yongkang Top Import & Export Co., Ltd.
(“Dingji”), a subsidiary of the Company, to certain individuals. In accordance
with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long−Lived Assets,”
the results of operations of Dingji as of the disposal date May 9, 2008 are
removed from the detailed financial statement line items to the “discontinued
operation” of the Company’s financial statements.
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 People’s Republic of China and global export
markets. Sales are made to dealers in Asia, North America, Europe and
Australia.

2 – LIQUIDITY
The
Company’s working capital deficit is $13,457,954 as of March 31,
2009.
As of
March 31, 2009, the Company has credit lines from commercial banks for
$21,349,480, of which $10,517,705 was used at March 31, 2009. Subsequent to
March 31, 2009, the Company collected approximately $4.3 million of its notes
receivable. The Company expects to collect the remaining notes receivable by
June 30, 2009 according to the contractual terms.
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 and for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 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, 2008 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
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)
Revenue Recognition

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:

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.
(b)
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 $526,201 and $46,610 for the three months ended March

(d)
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.
(e)
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.

6 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(g)
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.
|
The
assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure
requirements of SFAS 157 as of March 31, 2009 are as follows:

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 represent 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.
(h)
Stock Based Compensation
The
Company stock based compensation is recorded in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R.
The fair
value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes 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
compensation expense recognized is based on awards expected to vest, and there
were no estimated forfeitures as the current options outstanding were only
issued to founders, directors and senior management of the Company. SFAS No.
123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in
subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those
estimates.
The stock
based compensation expense for the period ended March 31, 2009 is $210,117. Also
see Note 17.

7 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations. SFAS No.
141 (R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their
fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over
the net identifiable assets acquired. The calculation of earnings per share will
continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No.141
(R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. SFAS 141(R) will
significantly affect the accounting for future business combinations and we will
determine the accounting as new combinations are determined.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements. This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries’
non-parent owners be clearly presented in the equity section of the balance
sheet; requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent
and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the
face of the consolidated statement of income; requires that changes in a
parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial
interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently; requires that when a
subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in
the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value and the gain or loss
on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured using the fair value of any
noncontrolling equity; requires that entities provide disclosures that clearly
identify the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling
owners. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first
fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. The Company has determined that
SFAS No. 160 does not materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect its financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 161"), which amends SFAS No.133 and expands
disclosures to include information about the fair value of derivatives, related
credit risks and a company's strategies and objectives for using derivatives.
SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after November 15,
2008. The Company has determined that SFAS No. 161 does not materially affect,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect its financial
statements.
During
June 2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 07-05,
Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an
Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-05”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008. EITF 07-05 addresses the determination of whether an
instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity's own stock, which
is the first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of FASB SFAS No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”).
If an instrument (or an embedded feature) that has the characteristics of a
derivative instrument under paragraphs 6–9 of SFAS 133 is indexed to an entity's
own stock, it is still necessary to evaluate whether it is classified in
stockholders' equity (or would be classified in stockholders' equity if it were
a freestanding instrument). Other applicable authoritative accounting
literature, including Issues EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, and
EITF 05-2, The Meaning of “Conventional Debt Instrument” in Issue No. 00-19,
provides guidance for determining whether an instrument (or an embedded feature)
is classified in stockholders' equity (or would be classified in stockholders'
equity if it were a freestanding instrument). EITF 07-05 does not address that
second part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133. The Company
has determined that EITF 07-05 does not materially affect, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect its financial statements.

9 – (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE
Basic
(loss) income per share is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic earnings per
share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the stock options
were exercised and if the additional common shares were dilutive. For the three
months ended March 31, 2009 the Company has a net loss, and therefore the
options are anti-dilutive, therefore there were no potentially dilutive
securities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Also see Note

16 – TAXES
(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 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.
KNE is a
subsidiary of the Company and its applicable corporate income tax rate is
25%.
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"), an interpretation of FASB statement No.
109, Accounting for 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 FIN
48, 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 March 31, 2009, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax
benefits. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction
and various states. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state 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 March
31, 2009 the Company was not aware of any pending income tax examinations by
China tax authorities. The Company's policy is to record interest and
penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of March 31,
2009, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax
positions. The Company has not recorded a provision for U.S federal income tax
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to the net operating loss carry
forward in the United States.

17 - STOCK OPTIONS
On
February 11, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company approved the grant of stock options for 2,600,000 shares of common stock
to ten of the Company's employees and directors. The stock options vest ratably
over three years and expire in ten years from the grant date. The Company valued
the stock options at $2,062,964 and amortizes the stock compensation expense
using the straight-line method over the service period from February 11, 2009
through February 11, 2012. The value of the options was estimated using the
Black Scholes Model with an expected volatility of 164%, expected life of 10
years, risk-free interest rate of 2.76% and expected dividend yield of
0.00%.

18 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) In
2006, the Company brought a legal action 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. According to the judge's
report from the local court in Jinhua, PRC, on December 5, 2006, the Company
prevailed in the lawsuit and Zhejiang Yuegong Steel Structure Co. and Zhejiang
Jinhua No.1 Construction Co., Ltd. are required to pay $186,331 in damages to
the Company. However, the two defendants appealed the ruling to a higher level
court and the Company has not received the damage award as of March 31, 2009.
Considering the uncertainties of the legal proceeding, the Company did not
record a gain for this at March 31, 2009.
(b) On
July 14, 2008, KNE entered into a guarantee contract to serve as guarantor for
the bank loans borrowed from Huaxia Bank Hangzhou branch in the amount of
$2,480,231 during the period from July 14, 2008 to July 14, 2009 by Zhejiang
Mengdeli Electronic Co. Ltd (“ZMEC”), a company independent of KNE. Under this
guarantee contract, KNE shall perform all obligations of ZMEC under the loan
contract if ZMEC fails to perform its obligations as set forth in the loan
contract. Also see Note 12.
(c) On
June 25, 2008, KNE entered into a guarantee contract to serve as guarantor for
the bank loans borrowed from China Agriculture Bank with a maximum guarantee
amount of $3,765,589 during the period from June 25, 2008 to June 24, 2009 by
ZMEC, a company independent of KNE. Under this guarantee contract, KNE shall
perform all obligations of ZMEC under the loan contract if ZMEC fails to perform

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 the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2008 and those set forth from time to time in our filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These documents are available on the SEC’s

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Stock
Based Compensation
The
Company’s stock based compensation is recorded in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R.
The fair
value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes 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
compensation expense recognized is based on awards expected to vest, and there
were no estimated forfeitures as the current options outstanding were only
issued to founders and senior management of the Company. SFAS No. 123R requires
forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent
periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those
estimates.
28
The stock
based compensation expense for the period ended March 31, 2009 is
$210,117.
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.
|
The
assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure
requirements of SFAS 157 as of March 31, 2009 are as follows:

value due to their short term maturity.

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:
·

|
·

|
·

Collectability

New Accounting
Pronouncements
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations. SFAS No.
141 (R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their
fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over
the net identifiable assets acquired. The calculation of earnings per share will
continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No.141
(R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. SFAS 141(R) will
significantly affect the accounting for future business combinations and we will
determine the accounting as new combinations are determined.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements. This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries’
non-parent owners be clearly presented in the equity section of the balance
sheet; requires that the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the
parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on
the face of the consolidated statement of income; requires that changes in a
parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial
interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently; requires that when a
subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in
the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value and the gain or loss
on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured using the fair value of any
noncontrolling equity; requires that entities provide disclosures that clearly
identify the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling
owners. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first
fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. The Company has determined that
SFAS No. 160 does not materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect its financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 161"), which amends SFAS No.133 and expands
disclosures to include information about the fair value of derivatives, related
credit risks and a company's strategies and objectives for using derivatives.
SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after November 15,
2008. The Company has determined that SFAS No. 161 does not materially affect,
or reasonably likely to materially affect, its financial
statements.
30
During
June 2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 07-05,
Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an
Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-05”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008. EITF 07-05 addresses the determination of whether an
instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity's own stock, which
is the first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of FASB SFAS No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”).
If an instrument (or an embedded feature) that has the characteristics of a
derivative instrument under paragraphs 6–9 of SFAS 133 is indexed to an entity's
own stock, it is still necessary to evaluate whether it is classified in
stockholders' equity (or would be classified in stockholders' equity if it were
a freestanding instrument). Other applicable authoritative accounting
literature, including Issues EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company Own Stock, and
EITF 05-2, The Meaning of “Conventional Debt Instrument” in Issue No. 00-19,
provides guidance for determining whether an instrument (or an embedded feature)
is classified in stockholders' equity (or would be classified in stockholders'
equity if it were a freestanding instrument). EITF 07-05 does not address that
second part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133. The Company
has determined that EITF 07-05 does not materially affect, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect its financial statements.

(a)
Revenue
For the
three months ended March 31, 2009, our revenue decreased by 57.8% from
$9,487,285 to $4,005,904 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.
The global economic crisis continuing from 2008 negatively affected sales of all
of our vehicles, particularly our recreational vehicle lines.
The
following table lists the numbers of vehicles sold, categorized by vehicle
types, within the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

Based on
a determination that China will be among the first markets to recover from the
global economic crisis, we have spent much time and resources on developing
products targeting the Chinese market. In addition to the relative
health of the Chinese economy, the Company expects to also benefit from the
stimulus package enacted by the PRC government in November 2008. The
November stimulus package includes cash subsidies of 60,000 RMB (approximately
$8,765) provided to the purchaser of each renewable energy
vehicle. We believe that our electric Coco super-mini car will
qualify for such subsidies. We have submitted an application with the
PRC government to sell the electric Coco in China and expect approval by the end
of the second quarter of 2009 and anticipate sales of the Coco to begin in China
in the third quarter of 2009.
(b)
Cost of goods sold
Cost of
goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $3,025,722
representing a 58.6% decrease of $7,305,277 from the three months ended March
31, 2008, which corresponded with the decrease in sales. Cost of goods sold was
75.5% of the total revenue for the period as compared to 77% of the comparable
period, reflecting the Company’s continued efforts on cost control and sourcing
efficiencies on manufacturing materials whose costs were comparatively lower
than those of previous year.
(c)
Gross profit
Gross
profit for the first quarter of 2009 is consistent with the decrease in revenue,
falling 55.1% from $2,182,008 to $980,182 from the same period in
2008.
33
(d)
Selling and distribution expenses
Selling
and distribution expenses were $86,184 for the three months ended March 31,
2009, as compared to $215,776 from the same period in 2008, representing a 60.1%
decrease. The significant drop in these expenses was the result of
decreased shipping expenses as the Company shipped fewer vehicles overseas,
partly due to decreased sales and partly due to the Company's change from direct
exports to shipping through an export agent who will bear the shipping
expenses.
(e)
General and administrative expenses
General
and administrative expenses were $567,815 for the three months ended March 31,
2009, as compared to $279,120 for the same period in 2008, representing a 103.4%
increase. The increase was primarily due to increased expenses in
reserve made for slow moving inventories, the depreciation of fixed assets, and
amortization of the land use right of the subsidiary, KNE that had not commenced
business at this reporting quarter.
(f)
Research and development
Research
and development expenses were $526,201 for the three months ended March 31,
2009, as compared to $46,610 from the same period in 2008, representing a 1,028%
increase. The increase was due to additional research and development
efforts associated with the electric-powered CoCo, which included additional
studies done to market this vehicle in the PRC.
(g)
Stock-based compensation expense
In
February 2009, the Company issued 2,600,000 shares option to 10 executives and
managerial level employees. The fair value of the stock option on the grant date
was $2,062,964. The Company amortized the stock compensation expense
using the straight-line method over the service period from February 11, 2009
through February 11, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the
compensation expense was $210,117 accounting for 5.2% of the total revenue of
the reporting period.
(h)
Government grants
Government
grants totaled $99,053 for the three months ended March 31, 2009,
representing a 323.6% increase over the same period in 2008, primarily due to
the PRC government’s grant of subsidies for electric-powered vehicles sales. Our
electric-powered vehicles were launched in October 2008 and will become our
focus product in 2009.
34
(i)
Net interest expense
Net
interest expense was $309,304 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as
compared to $615,540 for the same period last year, a decrease of 49.8%. This
decrease is mainly the result of the increase in interest revenue of $208,634
received from the notes receivable. Also, while the exchange rate of RMB versus
the USD remained steady in the reporting quarter, exchange loss was reduced
significantly to $215 from $156,383.
(j)
Net (loss) income
The
operating performance of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2009
resulted in a net loss of ($582,899) as compared to a net profit of $1,110,176
for the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in sales and a
ten-fold higher research and development expense. The net loss also
includes the compensation cost of $210,117 incurred during the first quarter of
2009 for the issuance of options to purchase 2,600,000 shares of common stock to
Company employees and directors as well as the write down of $151,996 for slow
moving inventory.
35
Financial
Condition
Working
Capital
The
Company suffered a loss of $582,899 and cash flows used in operating activities
of $4,705,043 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company also had a
working capital deficit of $13,457,954 at March 31, 2009, which was a decrease
from a working capital surplus of $1,298,063 as of March 31, 2008, which was
principally due to the Company using the cash proceeds borrowed from short-term
loans to acquire KNE in June, 2008 to support the new plant construction and to
expand the production capacity of super-mini cars and go-karts.
The
Company has credit lines for $21,349,480 from commercial banks, of which
$10,517,705 was used at March 31, 2009. Subsequent to March 31, 2009, the
Company paid approximately $2 million of its notes payable and collected
approximately $4.3 million of its notes receivable. The Company expects to
collect the remaining notes receivable by June 30 of 2009 according to
contractual terms.
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.
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 following table lists all of such loans obtained by
the Company within the past three years:

Cash
Flow
Net cash
flow used in operating activities was $4,705,043 for the three months ended
March 31, 2009, as compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities of
$2,335,674 in the same period in 2008. The decrease of net cash flow by
operating activities was mainly due to the decrease in accounts payable of
$4,308,304 and the increase in inventories of $586,108 and prepayments and
prepaid expenses of $471,406.
Net cash
flow provided by investing activities was $6,205,624 for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 as compared to net cash flow used in investing activities of
$2,464,454 for the same reporting period in 2008. Cash flow provided by
investing activities in this quarter was primarily due to a repayment of notes
receivables of $11,462,957 offset by the issuance of notes receivable of
$5,203,029.
Net cash
flow provided by financing activities was $139,099 for the three months ended
March 31, 2009, as compared to net cash flow used in financing activities of
$1,036,708 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Cash flow provided by
financing activities in this quarter was primarily due to proceeds from notes
payable of $9,511,583, and restricted cash of $1,740,822.
Other
Matters
Management
Software
In March
of 2009, the Company decided to adopt the Kingdee K3 ERP Supply Chain management
software (K3 SCM), and integrate it with current running Kingdee K3 finance
system. This system offers functions such as purchase management, sales
management, warehouse management, quality management, inventory accounting,
import management and export management to completely manage the business supply
chain. Implementing integration of K3 SCM, we believe, will yield the following
benefits:
|
·
|
Realize
the integration of finance and supply chain management, the information
sharing between finance and supply chain become more transparent and
timely;
|
38
|
·
|
Optimize
the logistic operation, closely watch the inventory change, and follow the
orders;
|
|
·
|
Optimize
the supplier management and the purchase order management, cut purchasing
cost, improve the delivery of purchasing materials, and reduce the raw
material buffer;
|
|
·
|
Control
the account payable and account receivable in a more efficient and
effective way; and
|
|
·
|
Optimize
the inventory management, provide the accurate inventory information in a
timely manner.
|
The
integration of K3 SCM is planned to be implemented by the end of May this year,
and we believe the successful implementation will improve the Company’s
operating efficiency, and reduce our expenses.
Government
policies
In
November 2008, the Chinese government launched an economic stimulus package to
boost the PRC economy in the wake of the global economic crisis. The impact of
this stimulus package has begun to become apparent during the first quarter of
2009, and we believe the positive impact will continue for at least the next two
years.
In
January, 2009, The State Council of China announced a wide-ranging plan to boost
China’s auto industry, which is included in the November stimulus package.
According to this plan, China would cut in half, to 5%, the sales tax on
purchases of cars with engine sizes below 1.6 liters. That rate will take effect
on Jan. 20, 2009 and run until the end of 2009. The Chinese government will also
give one-off cash subsidies totaling 5 billion RMB ($732 million) to owners of
high-emission vehicles who trade them in for more fuel-efficient and cleaner
vehicles.
At the
same time, China will set up a 10 billion RMB fund to promote new technology,
including renewable energy, over the next three years, while supporting the
eventual mass production of electric vehicles.
Our UTVs,
which mainly target the agriculture market, and electric-powered CoCo super-mini
car both fit in this category and benefit from this package. These two lines of
vehicles are the main products the Company plans to sell in China. We believe
this is a great opportunity for us to expand our sales in
China.

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 March 31, 2009. Based on that review and evaluation, the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with other key management of the
Company, have determined that the disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of such date.
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 first quarter of 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

When considering an investment in our company, you should consider carefully all

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.
