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. 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 PRC and global export markets. Sales are
made to dealers in Asia, North America, Europe and Australia.

NOTE
2 – LIQUIDITY
The
Company’s working capital deficit is $1,705,852 as of March 31,
2010.
As of
March 31, 2010, the Company has credit lines from commercial banks for
$37,003,452, of which $27,939,907 was used at March 31, 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 three
months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
complete financial statements.
However,
such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair
presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results
of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be obtained for a full year. The condensed consolidated
balance sheet information as of December 31, 2009 was derived from the audited
consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with that report.
NOTE
4 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kandi Technologies
Corp., and the following subsidiaries:
(i)
|
Continental
Development Ltd., (“Continental”) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company)
|
(ii)
|
Zhejiang
Kandi Vehicles Co. Ltd., (“Kandi”) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of

(iii)
|
Kandi
Special Vehicles Co., Ltd, (“KSV”, formerly known as Kandi New Energy

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
ASC 820
establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used
in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels
based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable
in the market.
These
tiers include:
·
|
Level
1—defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active
markets;
|
·
|
Level
2—defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are
either directly or indirectly observable;
and
|
·
|
Level
3—defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists,
therefore requiring an entity to develop its own
assumptions.
|
The
assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure
requirements of ASC 820 as of March 31, 2010 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 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, ASC 820 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. ASC
820 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 March 31, 2010
and determined that there are no significant assets to be tested for
recoverability under ASC 360 and as such, no fair value measurements related to
non-financial assets have been made during the three months ended March 31,
2010.

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 March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 represent time deposits on account
to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable. Also see Notes 14 and
15.
(d)
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (market value). The cost
of raw materials is determined on the basis of weighted average. The cost of
finished goods is determined on the weighted average basis and comprises direct
materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.
Net
realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less any further costs
expected to be incurred for completion and selling expense.
(e)
Accounts Receivable
Accounts
receivable are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less allowance
for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when
collection of the full amount is no longer probable. At March 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$0.
(f)
Prepayments
Prepayments
represent cash paid in advance to suppliers for raw materials
purchases.
(g)
Plant and Equipment
Plant and
equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the asset or the term of
the lease, whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives are as
follows:
Buildings
|
30
years
|
Machinery

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.

Construction in Progress
Construction
in progress represents direct costs of construction or the acquisition cost of
buildings or machinery and design fees. Capitalization of these costs ceases and
the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when
substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their
intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until the assets are
completed and ready for their intended use.
(i)
Land Use Rights
According
to the laws of China, land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be
sold to an individual or a company. However, the government grants the
user a “land use right” to use the land. The land use rights
granted to the Company are being amortized using the straight-line method over
the lease term of fifty years.
(j)
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be
held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events
and circumstances warrant such a review, pursuant to the guidelines established
in ASC No. 350. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired
when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately
identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is
recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair
market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily
using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk
involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a
similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to
dispose.
During
the reporting period, there was no impairment loss.
(k)
Revenue Recognition
Revenues
represent the invoiced value of goods sold, recognized upon the shipment of
goods to customers. Revenues are recognized when all of the following criteria
are met:
·
|
Persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists;
|
·
|
Delivery

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

Stock Option Cost
The
Company’s stock option cost is recorded in accordance with ASC 718 and ASC
505.
The fair
value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The
Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility
of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the
expiration date of the option. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term
of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
grant.
Stock
option expense recognized is based on awards expected to vest, and there were no
estimated forfeitures. ASC standards requires forfeitures to be estimated at the
time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates.
The stock
based compensation expense for the period ended March 31, 2010 is $981,468. Also
see Note 17.
(r)
Warrant Cost
The
Company’s warrant costs are recorded in liabilities and equities respectively in
accordance with ASC 480, ASC 505 and ASC 815.
The fair
value of warrant is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The
Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility
of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the
expiration date of the warrant. The risk-free interest rate for the expected
term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the
time of measurement.
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 note is
separated from the debt instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative
instrument. On the date the 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 measurement.

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 March 31,
2010.
In
September 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-12, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities that
Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) (“ASC Update
No. 2009-12”). This update sets forth guidance on using the net asset value
per share provided by an investee to estimate the fair value of an alternative
investment. Specifically, the update permits a reporting entity to measure the
fair value of this type of investment on the basis of the net asset value per
share of the investment (or its equivalent) if all or substantially all of the
underlying investments used in the calculation of the net asset value is
consistent with ASC 820. The update also requires additional disclosures by each
major category of investment, including, but not limited to, fair value of
underlying investments in the major category, significant investment strategies,
redemption restrictions, and unfunded commitments related to investments in the
major category. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and
annual periods ending after December 15, 2009 with early application
permitted. The Company does not expect that the implementation of ASC Update
No. 2009-12 will have a material effect on its financial position or
results of operations.
In June
2009, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167,
Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“Statement No. 167”).
Statement No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”) to
require an analysis to determine whether a company has a controlling financial
interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has (a) the
power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most
significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to
absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the
variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that
could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. The statement
requires an ongoing assessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary
of a variable interest entity when the holders of the entity, as a group, lose
power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the actions that most
significantly affect the entity’s economic performance. This statement also
enhances disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest
entities. Statement No. 167 is effective as of the beginning of the first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. Although
Statement No. 167 has not been incorporated into the Codification, in
accordance with ASC 105, the standard shall remain authoritative until it is
integrated. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement No. 167
to have a material impact on its financial position or results of
operations.

In June
2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166,
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for

of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and any continuing

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

The
Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per
Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per
share. Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number

represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive
effect of outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible note (using the
if-converted method). For the three months ended March 31, 2010, there are no

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
790, 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, 2010, 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, 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 March 31,
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 three months ended March 31, 2010 due to the net operating loss carry
forward in the United States.

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
This
report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal
securities laws that relate to future events or our future financial
performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
terminology, such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "plan,"
"anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "project," "predict," "intend," "potential"
or "continue" or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology,
although not all forward-looking statements contain such terms.
In
addition, these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements regarding implementing our business strategy; development and
marketing of our products; our estimates of future revenue and profitability;

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Stock
Option Cost
The
Company’s stock option cost is recorded in accordance with ASC 718 and ASC
505.
The fair
value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The
Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility
of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the
expiration date of the option. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term
of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
grant.
Stock
option expense recognized is based on awards expected to vest, and there were no
estimated forfeitures. ASC standards requires forfeitures to be estimated at the
time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates.
34
The stock
based compensation expense for the period ended March 31, 2010 is $981,468,
among which $780,902 and $200,566 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 measurement.
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
March 31, 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 warrants
issued to investors and placement agents of convertible notes is
$3.05
Fair
Value of Conversion features
In
accordance with ASC 815, the conversion feature of the convertible note is
separated from the debt instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative
instrument. On the date the 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 measurement. As of March 31, 2010,
the fair value of conversion features is $2.54 per share
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company measured the fair value of warrants and conversion features embedded in
the convertible notes as of March 31, 2010 using the Black-Scholes-Merton model
with the inputs effective at measurement date. For the three months ended March
31, 2010, the fair value of warrants issued to investors and placement agent has
decreased $208,804, and the fair value of conversion features has decreased
$353,835.
35
The
Company’s non-financial assets measured on a non-recurring basis include the
Company’s property, plant and equipment and finite-use intangible assets which
are measured for recoverability when indicators for impairment are present. ASC
820 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 March 31, 2010
and determined that there are no significant assets to be tested for
recoverability under ASC 360 and as such, no fair value measurements related to
non-financial assets have been made during the three months ended March 31,
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 warrants issued to investors and 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 notes payable using the
effective interest method. As of March 31, 2010, the amount of debt discount is
$8,849,457.
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.

Recently
Implemented Standards
ASC 105,
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105”) (formerly Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a
replacement of FASB Statement No. 162) reorganized by topic existing
accounting and reporting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) into a single source of authoritative generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. All
guidance contained in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) carries an
equal level of authority. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also
sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Accordingly, all other
accounting literature will be deemed “non-authoritative.” ASC 105 is effective
on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for interim and annual
periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company has implemented the
guidance included in ASC 105 as of July 1, 2009. The implementation of this
guidance changed the Company’s references to GAAP authoritative guidance but did
not impact the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
36
ASC 855,
Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events) includes guidance that was issued by
the FASB in May 2009, and is consistent with current auditing standards in
defining a subsequent event. Additionally, the guidance provides for disclosure
regarding the existence and timing of a company’s evaluation of its subsequent
events. ASC 855 defines two types of subsequent events, “recognized” and
“non-recognized.” Recognized subsequent events provide additional evidence about
conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet and are required to be
reflected in the financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events provide
evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet
but arose after that date and, therefore; are not required to be reflected in
the financial statements. However, certain non-recognized subsequent events may
require disclosure to prevent the financial statements from being misleading.
This guidance was effective prospectively for interim or annual financial
periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company implemented the guidance
included in ASC 855 as of July 1, 2009. The effect of implementing this
guidance was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In August
2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (Topic 820): Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (“ASC Update
No. 2009-05”). This update amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures and provides further guidance on measuring the fair value of a
liability. The guidance establishes the types of valuation techniques to be used
to value a liability when a quoted market price in an active market for the
identical liability is not available, such as the use of an identical or similar
liability when traded as an asset. The guidance also further clarifies that a
quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement
date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in
an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are
required are both Level 1 fair value measurements. If adjustments are required
to be applied to the quoted price, it results in a level 2 or 3 fair value
measurement. The guidance provided in the update is effective for the first
reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The
Company has implemented ASC Update No. 2009-05 as of March 31,
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.
37
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
three months ended March 31, 2010, our revenue increased by 106.1% from
$4,005,904 to $8,254,624 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.
This is primarily due to the Company’s continuing effort to develop new markets
outsides North America and the recovery of global economy, which has enhanced
the customer demands for the Company’s products, particularly the recreational
vehicle lines.

Chinese export agents, who resell the company’s products to North America,
Europe, and other regions.
(b)
Cost of goods sold
Cost of
goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $6,404,615
representing a 111.7% increase of $3,025,722 from the three months ended March
31, 2009, which corresponded with the increase in sales. Cost of goods sold was
77.6% of the total revenue for the period as compared to 75.5% of the comparable
period, reflecting the increased price of raw manufacturing materials whose
costs were comparatively higher than those of previous year.
40
(c)
Gross profit
Gross
profit for the first quarter of 2010 is the result of the increase in revenue,
increasing 88.7% from $980,182 to $1,850,009 from the same period in
2009.
(d)
Selling and distribution expenses
Selling
and distribution expenses were $853,326 for the three months ended March 31,
2010, as compared to $86,184 from the same period in 2009, representing an 889%
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
$780,902 option related expense, the net Selling and distribution expenses for
the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 71,424, a 17.1% decrease from the same
period of 2009, primarily due to the $30,027 decrease in insurance
expense.
(e)
General and administrative expenses
General
and administrative expenses were $650,812 for the three months ended March 31,
2010, as compared to $777,932 for the same period in 2009, representing a 16.3%
decrease. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the general and
administrative expenses included $200,566 in stock-based compensation cost 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
$210,117. Excluding the effect of stock based compensation cost, the net general
and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was
$450,246, a decrease of 20.7% from $567,815 for the same period of 2009. This
decrease was primarily the result of the $151,996 inventory write down occurred
in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Excluding the effects of stock based
compensation cost and expense related to inventory write down, the general and
administrative expenses for this reporting period increased $34,427 compared to
the same period of last year, mainly due to the increase of expenses incurred by
the Company’s more activities in capital markets, although the legal fees
charged by attorneys for the financing that closed on January 21, 2010 was
amortized to the life of convertible notes.
(f)
Research and development
Research
and development expenses were $343,407 for the three months ended March 31,
2010, as compared to $526,201 from the same period in 2009, representing a 34.7%
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
The
Chinese government awarded grants to companies that exported goods the prior
year. The Company had exported goods directly in 2008, but used an export
agent in 2009, thus disqualifying the Company from the grant. The Company also
received a one-time technology grant during the quarter ended March 31,
2009.
41
(h)
Net interest expense
Net
interest expense was $207,926 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as
compared to $309,304 for the same period last year, representing a decrease of
32.8%. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the interests for the
convertible notes was $117,742, and the interests incurred by the amortization
of debt discount was $239,366, while the interests income, which was caused by
the changes of fair value of warrants issued to convertible notes investors and
placement agents, and the changes of fair value of conversion features embedded
in convertible notes, was $562,639. Excluding the effects of interest expense
related to convertible notes, the interest expense for this reporting period was
$413,459, increased 34% from $309,304 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, which decreased $122,208 compared to the
same period of 2009.
(i)
Net (loss) income
The
operating performance of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2010
reflected a net loss of $177,895, significantly improved from a net loss of
$582,899 for the same period of last year, primarily due to the increase of
sales and gross profit.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2010, the $981,468 stock option related expense,
particularly the $780,902 option cost included in the selling and distribution
expenses, significantly effects the Company’s profit and caused the Company
recorded a net loss in this reporting period.
42
Financial
Condition
Working
Capital
The
Company had a working capital deficit of $1,705,852 at March 31, 2010, an
improvement from a working capital deficit of $13,457,954 as of March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2010, the
Company also recorded a net cash inflow from the operating activities, which
also improved the Company’s working capital situation.
As of
March 31, 2010, the Company had credit lines from commercial banks for
$37,003,452, of which $27,939,907 was used at March 31, 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.

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, 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 March 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
