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.

(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

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.

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

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:

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

(a)
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

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%.
On
October 6, 2009, the Company executed an agreement (“Cooperation Agreement”)

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.
31
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.
32
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.

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.
33
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.
34
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.

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.

(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.
37
(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.
38
(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.

(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.

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.
41
(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

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.
42
(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.

Cash
Flow

June 30, 2010, as compared to net cash flow used in operating activities of
$7,106,029 in the same period in 2009. The increase of net cash flow provided by
operating activities was mainly due to (i) the improvement in net income of
$1,367,307, (ii) a net cash inflow of $3,149,816 for the six months ended June
30, 2010 caused by the change of accounts payable, rather than a net cash
outflow of $511,665 for the same period of last year, (iii) a decrease in the
prepayment amount, which caused a net cash inflow of $627,935 for this reporting
period, largely improving from a net cash outflow of $1,963,636, and (iv) a
decrease in the cash outflow for inventory from $6,907,531 to

30, 2010, the Company issued $17,168,835 in notes receivable, and collected
$2,268,415 repayment of notes receivable, which caused a net cash outflow
$14,900,420 in notes receivable. While for the same period of last year, the
Company recorded a net cash inflow $10,054,502 in note receivable, primarily due
to the $28,545,269 repayment of notes receivable.
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. Cash flow provided by financing
activities in this quarter was primarily due to net cash inflow from notes
payable of $10,482,400.

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 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 quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is
