NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (“Kandi Technologies”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 31, 2004. Kandi Technologies changed its name from Stone Mountain Resources, Inc. to Kandi Technologies, Corp. on August 13, 2007. On December 21, 2012, Kandi Technologies changed its name to Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. As used herein, the term the “Company” means Kandi Technologies and its operating subsidiaries, as described below.

Headquartered in the Jinhua city, Zhejiang Province, China, the Company is one of China’s leading producers and manufacturers of electrical vehicle products, all-terrain vehicles, go-karts, specialized utility vehicles and a variety of other specialty vehicles for sale in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and global markets. The Company conducts its primary business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Vehicles”), and the partial and wholly-owned subsidiaries of Kandi Vehicles.

The Company’s organizational chart is as follows:

* The box with dotted-line border represents the entity that has ceased operation and was dissolved in July 2014.

7

Operating Subsidiaries:

Pursuant to relevant agreements executed in January 2011, Kandi Vehicles is entitled to 100% of the economic benefits, voting rights and residual interests (100% profits and loss absorption rate) of Jinhua Kandi New Energy Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“Kandi New Energy”), a company in which Kandi Vehicles has a 50% interest. Kandi New Energy was established in accordance with relevant Chinese government regulations on automobile manufacturing enterprises, which prohibit foreign ownership of greater than 50%. Kandi New Energy currently holds vehicle production rights (license) on manufacturing Kandi brand electric utility vehicles (”Special-purpose Vehicles”) and production rights (license) on manufacturing battery packs used in Kandi brand EVs. Kandi New Energy supplies battery packs for Kandi brand electric vehicles (“EVs”).

Jinhua Three Parties New Energy Vehicles Service Co., Ltd. (“Jinhua Service”) was formed as a joint venture, by and among our wholly-owned subsidiary, Kandi Vehicles, the State Grid Power Corporation and Tianneng Power International. The Company, indirectly through Kandi Vehicles, had a 30% ownership interest in Jinhua Service. As of September 30, 2014, Jinhua Service ceased its operations and was dissolved. Jinhua Services was established in order to provide public charging stations for lead-acid batteries for EVs in Jinhua city. Currently, most of EV customers in Jinhua have the ability to charge their EVs by themselves. Since self-charging is more cost-effective and most of them have switched to self-charging, Jinhua Service ceased its operations and was dissolved accordingly.

In April 2012, pursuant to a share exchange agreement, the Company acquired 100% of Yongkang Scrou Electric Co, Ltd. (“Yongkang Scrou”), a manufacturer of automobile and electric vehicle parts. Yongkang Scrou currently manufactures and sells EV drive motors, EV controllers, air conditioners and other electrical products to the JV Company.

In March 2013, pursuant to a joint venture agreement (the “JV Agreement”) entered into between Kandi Vehicles and Shanghai Maple Guorun Automobile Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Guorun”), a 99%-owned subsidiary of Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. (“Geely”), the parties established Zhejiang Kandi Electric Vehicles Co., Ltd. (the “JV Company”) to develop, manufacture and sell EVs and related auto parts. Each of Kandi Vehicles and Shanghai Guorun has a 50% ownership interest in the JV Company. In March 2014, the JV Company changed its name to Kandi Electric Vehicles Group Co., Ltd. At present, the JV Company is a holding company with products that are manufactured by its subsidiaries.

In March 2013, Kandi Vehicles formed Kandi Electric Vehicles (Changxing) Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Changxing”) in the Changxing (National) Economic and Technological Development Zone. Kandi Changxing is engaged in the production of EVs. In the fourth quarter of 2013, Kandi Vehicles entered into an ownership transfer agreement with JV Company pursuant to which Kandi Vehicles transferred 100% of its ownership in Kandi Changxing to the JV Company. The Company, indirectly through its 50% ownership interest in the JV Company, has a 50% economic interest in Kandi Changxing.

8

In April 2013, Kandi Electric Vehicles (Wanning) Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Wanning”) was formed in Wanning City of Hainan Province by Kandi Vehicles and Kandi New Energy. Kandi Vehicles has a 90% ownership in Kandi Wanning, and Kandi New Energy has the remaining 10% interest. However, by contract, Kandi Vehicles is, effectively, entitled to 100% of the economic benefits, voting rights and residual interests (100% profits and losses ) of Kandi Wanning. Hainan Province is planned as an international tourism island by the Chinese government and there is a high possibility that all non-EV vehicles will be banned from use within the province. Therefore, the Company believes EV business has a great potential growth rate in Hainan province. To capture this opportunity, the Company signed an agreement with Wanning city government and invested a total of RMB 1 billion to develop a factory in Wanning with an annual production of 100,000 EVs . Currently, Kandi Wanning is planning to launch its trial production by 2015. According to the JV Agreement, once Kandi Wanning becomes fully operational, its entire equity interests will be transferred to the JV Company.In July 2013, Zhejiang ZuoZhongYou Electric Vehicle Service Co., Ltd. (the “Service Company”) was formed. The Service Company is engaged in various pure EV leasing businesses. The JV Company has a 19% ownership interest in the Service Company. The Company, indirectly through its 50% ownership interest in the JV Company, has a 9.5% economic interest in the Service Company.

In November 2013, Zhejiang Kandi Electric Vehicles Jinhua Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Jinhua”) was formed by the JV Company. The JV Company has 100% ownership interest in Kandi Jinhua, and the Company, indirectly through its 50% ownership interest in the JV Company, has a 50% economic interest in Kandi Jinhua. According to the terms of the JV Agreement, except the JV Company and its subsidiaries, Kandi Vehicle and its subsidiaries are not allowed to manufacture pure EVs. However, Kandi New Energy holds the production rights (license) on manufacturing of Special-purpose Vehicles. Therefore, it is necessary to establish Kandi Jinhua, which is in charge of the Special-purpose Vehicle business and entitles to use Kandi New Energy’s Special-purpose Vehicle production rights (license).

In November 2013, Zhejiang JiHeKang Electric Vehicle Sales Co., Ltd. (“JiHeKang”) was formed by the JV Company and is engaged in car sales business. The JV Company has 100% ownership interest in JiHeKang, and the Company, indirectly through its 50% ownership interest in the JV Company, has a 50% economic interest in JiHeKang.

In December 2013, the JV Company entered into an ownership transfer agreement with Shanghai Guorun pursuant to which the JV Company acquired 100% ownership of Kandi Electric Vehicles (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Shanghai”). As a result, Kandi Shanghai is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the JV Company, and the Company, indirectly through its 50% ownership interest in the JV Company, has a 50% economic interest in Kandi Shanghai. In January 2014, Zhejiang Kandi Electric Vehicles Jiangsu Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Jiangsu”) was formed by the JV Company. The JV Company has 100% ownership interest in Kandi Jiangsu, and the Company, indirectly through its 50% ownership interest in the JV Company, has a 50% economic interest in Kandi Jiangsu.

9

The Company’s primary business operations are the design, development, manufacturing and commercialization of EV products, all-terrain vehicles (“ATVs”), go-karts, and other related specialized automobiles. As part of its strategic objective to become a leader in EV products manufacturing and related services, the Company has increased its focus on fuel efficient, pure EV products with a particular emphasis on expanding its market share in China.

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s working capital surplus was $108,121,553.

As of September 30, 2014, the amount of advances to suppliers was $58,777,479, which included the advance of RMB353 million or approximately $57,342,430 for a prepayment by Kandi Wanning to an equipment supplier - Nanjing Shangtong Auto Technologies Co., Ltd. (“Nanjing Shangtong”) for equipment purchases. The equipment will be purchased and delivered according to the construction schedule and development of Kandi Wanning. This advance will be used to offset the equipment purchase price upon delivery.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had credit lines from commercial banks of $41,910,331, of which $35,412,606 was used as of September 30, 2014.

The Company believes that its cash flows generated internally may not be sufficient to support the growth of future operations and to repay short-term bank loans for the next twelve (12) months, if needed. However, the Company believes its access to existing financing sources, including its $71 million registered direct offering financing completed on September 4, 2014 and established relationships with PRC banks will enable it to meet its obligations and fund its ongoing operations.

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

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

10

On September 4, 2014, the Company raised approximately $71.00 million before deducting fees to the placement agent and other offering expenses incurred by the Company from the sale to six institutional investors of an aggregate of 4,127,908 shares of its common stock at a price of $17.20 per share. As part of the transaction terms, the Company also issued to the investors warrants for the purchase of up to 743,024 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $21.50 per share, which warrants have a term of 17 months from the date of issuance.

NOTE 3 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial information included herein for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for these interim periods.

The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

NOTE 4 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

NOTE 5 – USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 6 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Economic and Political Risks

The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. As a result, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy. In addition, the Company’s earnings are subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the Company’s functional currency. Accordingly, the Company’s operating results are affected by changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the RMB.

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s performance may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.

These tiers include:

• Level 1—defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
• Level 2—defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
• Level 3—defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

13

As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s assets, measured at fair value, on a recurring basis, subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820, were as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly-rated money market funds at a variety of well-known institutions with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash represents time deposits on account, some of which are used to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable. The original cost of these assets approximates fair value due to their short term maturity.

Warrants, which are accounted as liabilities, are treated as derivative instruments, which will be measured at each reporting date for their fair value using Level 3 inputs. Also see Note 6 (t).

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly-liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted cash, as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, represented time deposits on account, some of which were used to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable. As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s restricted cash was $12,995,452.

(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.

14

Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less any further costs expected to be incurred for completion and selling expense. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value are made, if required, for estimated excess, obsolescence, or impaired balances.

(e) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in periods in which the Company determines a loss is probable, based on its assessment of specific factors, such as troubled collections, historical experience, accounts aging, ongoing business relations and other factors. Accounts are written off after an exhaustive collection effort. If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within the operating expenses line item. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts, as per the management’s judgment based on their best knowledge.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the credit terms with the Company’s customers were typically 90 to 120 days after delivery.

(f) Note receivable

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

(g) Prepayments

Prepayments represent cash paid in advance to suppliers. As of September 30, 2014, prepayments included advances to raw material suppliers, mold manufacturers, and suppliers of equipment.

Advances for raw materials purchases typically are settled within two months by the Company’s receipt of raw materials. Prepayment will be offset against purchase amount after equipment is delivered.

(h) Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the assets estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the asset or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

15

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

(i) Construction in Progress

Construction in progress represents the direct costs of construction, the acquisition cost of buildings or machinery and design fees. Capitalization of these costs ceases, and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment, when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until the assets are completed and ready for their intended use.

(j) Land Use Rights

According to Chinese laws, land in the PRC is owned by the government and land ownership rights cannot be sold to an individual or to a private company. However, the government grants the user a “land use right” to use the land. The land use rights granted to the Company are being amortized using the straight-line method over the term of fifty years.

(k) Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review, pursuant to the guidelines established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 (now known as “ASC 360”). The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.

16

During the reporting period, no impairment loss was recognized.

(l) Revenue Recognition

Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold. Revenue is recognized when the Company ships the goods to its customers and all of the following criteria are met:

• 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.

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

(m) Research and Development

Expenditures relating to the development of new products and processes, including significant improvements to existing products, are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses were $391,097 and $500,864 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Research and development expenses were $2,535,027 and $1,863,020 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(n) Government Grant

Grants and subsidies received from the PRC Government are recognized when the proceeds are received or collectible.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, $63,584 and $11,077, and $217,284 and $60,844, respectively, were received by Kandi Vehicle from the PRC government.

(o) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income tax using an asset and liability approach, which allows for the recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The accounting for deferred tax calculation represents the management’s best estimate on the most likely future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns and related future anticipation. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.

17

(p) Foreign Currency Translation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). Capital accounts of the consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the reporting period, which rates are obtained from the website: http://www.oanda.com

(q) Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income and the foreign currency translation changes.

(r) Segments

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

(s) Stock Option Cost

The Company’s stock option cost is recorded in accordance with ASC 718 and ASC 505.

The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the option. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

18

Stock option expense recognized is based on awards expected to vest, and there were no estimated forfeitures. ASC standards require forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The stock-based option expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $0. See Note 18.

(t) Warrant Cost

The Company’s warrant costs are recorded in liabilities and equities, respectively, in accordance with ASC 480, ASC 505 and ASC 815.

The fair value of a warrant, which is classified as a liability, is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model and the lattice valuation model. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the warrant. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the warrant is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement. The warrants, which are freestanding derivatives and are classified as liabilities on the balance sheet, will be measured at fair value on each reporting date, with decreases in fair value recognized in earnings and increases in fair values were recognized in expenses.

The fair value of equity-based warrants, which are not considered derivatives under ASC 815, is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the warrant. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

(u) Goodwill

The Company allocates goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. The Company evaluates its reporting units on an annual basis and, if necessary, reassigns goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit.

19

Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If the more likely than not threshold is met, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test. As of September 30, 2014, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired.

(v) Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of tradenames and customer relations associated with the purchase price allocation of Yongkang Scrou. Such assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 9.7 years. Intangible assets are amortized as of September 30, 2014.

NOTE 7 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

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

20

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in the ASU change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. It also addresses sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance in U.S. GAAP. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. Examples include a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The new guidance also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. This disclosure will provide users with information about the ongoing trends in a reporting organization’s results from continuing operations. The amendments in this ASU enhance convergence between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Part of the new definition of discontinued operation is based on elements of the definition of discontinued operations in IFRS 5, Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. The Company does not expect the adoption of 2014-08 to have a material effect on its operating results or financial position. Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 17 – TAX

(a) Corporation Income Tax (“CIT”)

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

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

The Company has a 50% ownership interest in the JV Company and the JV Company, including each of its subsidiaries’ applicable CIT rate is 25%.

Kandi Vehicle qualifies as a high technology company in the PRC and is entitled to pay CIT at the reduced rate of 15%. However, as the tax policy in the PRC does not allow double tax benefits, the Company’s high technology tax benefit of 10% must be reduced by the research and development tax benefits to which the Company also is entitled, which amount to 25% of an amount equal to 50% of allowable research and development expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company’s CIT before reduction for the Company’s high technology tax benefit was $447,014, or 25% of the Company’s $1,788,056 taxable income for such period which reduced to $130,563 after giving effect to the Company’s research and development tax credit of $316,449 was 25% of 50% of $2,531,589 allowable research and development expenses for such period. To comply with the PRC policy prohibiting double tax benefits, the Company’s high technology tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was reduced from $178,896, or 10% of the Company’s $1,788,056 attributed taxable income for such period to $52,226 or 2.92% of such taxable income. Since the R&D tax credit is not refundable, the maximum R&D tax credit allowance was limited to the maximum tax due, which was $316,449 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 combining with the un-utilized portion of R&D tax credit carried forward from the prior period. As a result, the Company’s effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 4.38% after the research and development credit and high technology tax reduction.

30

According to the PRC CIT reporting system, the CIT sales cut-off base is concurrent with the value-added tax (“VAT”), which will be reported to the State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”) on a quarterly basis. Since the VAT and CIT are accounted for on a VAT tax basis that recorded all sales on a “State provided official invoices” reporting system, the Company is reporting the CIT according to the SAT prescribed tax reporting rules. Under the VAT tax reporting system, sales cut-off is not done on an accrual basis but rather on a VAT taxable reporting basis. Therefore, when the Company adopted U.S. GAAP using an accrual basis, the sales cut-off CIT timing (due to the VAT reporting system) created a temporary sales cut-off timing difference. This difference is reflected in the deferred tax assets or liabilities calculations on the income tax estimate reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes. The interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.

Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files income tax returns to the U.S. Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) and to states in which the Company has operations. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by the IRS and relevant state tax authorities for years after 2006. During the periods open to examination, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since these NOLs may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination. The Company also files certain tax returns in the PRC. As of September 30, 2014, the Company was not aware of any pending income tax examinations by the PRC tax authorities. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company has not recorded a provision for U.S. federal income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to the net operating loss carry forward in the United States.

31

Income tax expense (benefit) for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is summarized as follows:

The Company’s income tax expense (benefit) differs from the “expected” tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (computed by applying the U.S. Federal Income Tax rate of 34% and PRC CIT rate of 25%, respectively, to income before income taxes) as follows:

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the Company’s net deferred tax assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are summarized as follows:

32

(b) Tax Benefit (Holiday) Effect

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the PRC CIT rate was 25%. Certain subsidiaries of the Company are entitled to tax benefit (holidays) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

The combined effects of the income tax expense exemptions and reductions available to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

NOTE 19 – STOCK AWARD

In connection with his appointment to the Board of Directors, and as compensation for serving, the Board of Directors has authorized the issuance by the Company to Mr. Henry Yu of 5,000 shares of Company’s restricted common stock every six months from July 2011.

36

As compensation for his services, the Board of Directors has authorized the issuance by the Company to Mr. Jerry Lewin of 5,000 shares of Company’s restricted common stock every six months, from August 2011.

As compensation for her services, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance by the Company to Ms. Kewa Luo of 5,000 shares of Company’s common stock every six months, beginning in September 2013.

As compensation for his services, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance by the Company to Mr. Wei Chen of 10,000 shares of Company’s common stock every year beginning in January 2012 and 2,500 shares of Company’s common stock every three months, beginning in January 2014. As of June 1, 2014, Mr. Chen was no longer with the Company.

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

On December 30, 2013, the Board of Directors approved a proposal (as submitted by the Compensation Committee) of an award for selected executives and other key employees comprising a total of 335,000 shares of common stock for each fiscal year, beginning with the 2013 fiscal year, under the Company’s 2008 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), if the Company’s determination that the Company’s “Non-GAAP Net Income” for the fiscal year increased by 10% comparing to that of the prior year’s. The specific number of shares of common stock to be issued in respect of such award could proportionally increase or decrease if the actual Non-GAAP Net Income increase is more or less than 10%. “Non-GAAP Net Income” means the Company’s net income for a particular year calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding option-related expenses, stock award expenses, and the effects caused by the change of fair value of financial derivatives. For example, if Non-GAAP Net Income for the 2014 fiscal year increases by 10% compared to the Non-GAAP Net Income for the 2013 fiscal year, the selected executives and other key employees each will be granted his or her target amount of common stock of the Company. If Non-GAAP Net Income in 2014 is less than Non-GAAP Net Income in 2013, then no common stock will be granted. If Non-GAAP Net Income in 2014 increases compared to Non-GAAP Net Income in 2013 but the increase is less than 10%, then the target amount of the common stock grant will be proportionately decreased. If Non-GAAP Net Income in 2014 increases compared to Non- GAAP Net Income in 2013 but the increase is more than 10%, then the target amount of the common stock grant will be proportionately increased up to 200% of the target amount. Any such increase in the grant will be subject to the total number of shares available under the Plan, and the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders will need to approve an increase in the number of shares reserved under the Plan if the number of shares originally reserved is used up.

The fair value of each award granted under the Plan is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant of the award. To the extent that the performance goal is not met and so no shares become due, no compensation cost is recognized and any recognized compensation cost during the applicable year is reversed. The number of shares of common stock granted under the Plan with respect to fiscal 2014 would be 670,000 shares according to the estimation of Non-GAAP Net Income of the whole year of 2014 based on the Non-GAAP Net Income of the first nine months of 2014. The compensation expense is recognized in General and Administrative Expenses.

NOTE 21 – SUMMARIZED INFORMATION OF EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT IN THE JV COMPANY

The Company’s consolidated net income includes the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of the Company’s equity method investees. When the Company records its proportionate share of net income, it increases equity income (loss) – net in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and the Company’s carrying value in that investment. Conversely, when the Company records its proportionate share of a net loss, it decreases equity income (loss) – net in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and the Company’s carrying value in that investment. All intra-entity profits and losses with the Company’s equity method investees have been eliminated.

Kandi Electric Vehicles Group Co., Ltd. (the “JV Company”)

(“Shanghai Guorun”), a 99%-owned subsidiary of Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. (“Geely”), the parties established Zhejiang Kandi Electric Vehicles Co., Ltd. (the “JV Company”) to develop, manufacture and sell electrical vehicles (“EVs”) and related auto parts. Each of Kandi Vehicles and Shanghai Guorun has a 50% ownership interest in the JV Company. In fourth quarter of 2013, Kandi Vehicles entered into an ownership transfer agreement with the JV Company pursuant to which Kandi Vehicles transferred 100% of its ownership in Kandi Changxing to the JV Company. As a result, the Company indirectly has a 50% economic interest in Kandi Changxing through its 50% ownership interest in the JV Company after this transfer. In November 2013, Zhejiang Kandi Electric Vehicles Jinhua Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Jinhua”) was formed by the JV Company. The JV Company has 100% ownership interest in Kandi Jinhua, and the Company, indirectly through its 50% ownership interest in the JV Company, has a 50% economic interest in Kandi Jinhua. In November 2013, Zhejiang JiHeKang Electric Vehicle Sales Co., Ltd. (“JiHeKang”) was formed by the JV Company. The JV Company has 100% ownership interest in JiHeKang, and the Company, indirectly through its 50% ownership interest in the JV Company, has a 50% economic interest in JiHeKang. In December 2013, the JV Company entered into an ownership transfer agreement with Shanghai Maple pursuant to which the JV Company acquired 100% ownership of Kandi Electric Vehicles (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Shanghai”). As a result, Kandi Shanghai is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the JV Company, and the Company, indirectly through its 50% ownership interest in the JV Company, has a 50% economic interest in Kandi Shanghai. In January 2014, Zhejiang Kandi Electric Vehicles Jiangsu Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Jiangsu”) was formed by the JV Company. The JV Company has 100% ownership interest in Kandi Jiangsu, and the Company, indirectly through its 50% ownership interest in the JV Company, has a 50% economic interest in Kandi Jiangsu.

The Company accounted for its investments in the JV Company under the equity method of accounting as the Company has a 50% ownership interest in the JV Company. Therefore, the Company’s consolidated net income for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014, included equity income from the JV Company during such periods.

The combined results of operations and financial position of the JV Company are summarized below:

40

During the first nine months of 2014, 99.2% of the JV Company’s revenues were derived from the sales of EV products in the PRC with a total of 7,279 units sold during such period, among which, a total of 1,950 units of EV products were sold during the three months ended September 30, 2014. The growth of sales of EV products was mainly driven by the demand by Hangzhou Public EV Sharing System (the “Car-Share” Project) and group long-term lease project. As the Company only has a 50% ownership interest in the JV Company and accounted for its investments in the JV Company under the equity method of accounting, the Company didn’t consolidate the JV Company’s financial results but included equity income from the JV Company during such periods.

Note: The following table illustrates the captions used in the Company’s Income Statements for its equity basis investments in the JV Company.

Changes in the Company’s equity method investment in JV Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

Sales to our customers, the JV Company’s subsidiaries, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $36,071,967 and $78,540,158, respectively, and they were primarily the sales of battery packs, body parts, EV drive motors, EV controllers, air conditioning units and other auto parts, of which the majority of sales were to Kandi Changxing amounted to $21,697,691 and $51,271,121, respectively, Kandi Shanghai amounted to $13,334,005 and $24,120,011, respectively and Kandi Jinhua amounted to $1,040,860 and $2,557,746. Theses EV parts were used in manufacturing of pure products by the JV’s Company’s subsidiaries to sell entirely to the JV Company’s customer or Shanghai Maple Auto Co., Ltd.(“Shanghai Maple”). Shanghai Maple holds the country’s vehicle production rights of sedan, equivalent to license, that qualifies it to sell the EV products to the end customers. Shanghai Maple is 90% owned by Geely and 10% owned by Zhejiang Maple Asset Management Co. Ltd. According to the JV agreement, before the JV Company receives vehicle production rights (license), the JV Company and its subsidiaries all may sell their products through the channel of Shanghai Maple’s vehicle production rights (license) to the end customers or the Service Company, which purchased and used the cars in Hangzhou Public EV sharing System and group long-term lease project. Of the total sales to the JV Company and its subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately 78% of the sales were related to the sales of battery packs because Kandi New Energy holds a production rights (license) to manufacture requisite battery packs used in manufacturing of Kandi brand’s EVs. Under the JV agreement, the Company’s EV product manufacturing business will be gradually transferred to the JV Company. The Company will be mainly responsible for supplying the JV Company with EV parts in the future and the JV Company will be responsible to produce EV products and to sell finished goods through channel to its end customers.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the amount due from the JV Company, net was $52,028,753 and $2,917,592, respectively, of which the majority was the balances with Kandi Changxing and Kandi Shanghai. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the amount due from Kandi Changxing, net was $33,817,187 and $1,576,408, respectively, and the amount due from Kandi Shanghai, net was $10,414,241 and $0, respectively.

Forward-looking statements are only predictions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. All of our forward-looking information is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expected. Although it is not possible to identify all factors, these risks and uncertainties include the risk factors and the timing of any of those risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and those set forth from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

Policy affecting options and warrants

Our stock option cost is recorded in accordance with ASC 718 and ASC 505. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Our expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the option. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Stock option expense recognition is based on awards expected to vest. There were no estimated forfeitures. ASC standards require forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

46

Our warrant costs are recorded in liabilities and equities, respectively, in accordance with ASC 480, ASC 505 and ASC 815. The fair value of a warrant, which is classified as a liability, is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model and the lattice valuation model. Our expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the warrant. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the warrant is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement. The warrants, which are freestanding derivatives classified as liabilities on the balance sheet, are measured at fair value on each reporting date, with decreases in fair value recognized in earnings and increases in fair values recognized in expenses.

The fair value of equity-based warrants, which are not considered derivatives under ASC 815, is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Our expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the warrant. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Estimates affecting accounts receivable and inventories

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reporting of assets and liabilities (and contingent assets and liabilities). These estimates are particularly significant where they affect the reported net realizable value of our accounts receivable and inventories.

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period when a loss is probable based on an assessment of specific factors, such as troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging, ongoing business relations and other factors. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they would be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within operating expenses. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we recorded no allowance for doubtful accounts. This determination was made per our management’s judgment, which was based on their best knowledge.

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value are made, if required, for estimated excess, obsolescence, or impaired balances. When inventories are sold, their carrying amount is charged to expense in the year in which the revenue is recognized.

47

Write-downs for declines in net realizable value or for losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the year the impairment or loss occurs.

Although we believe that there is little likelihood that actual results will differ materially from current estimates, if customer demand for our products decreases significantly in the near future, or if the financial condition of our customers deteriorates in the near future, we could realize significant write downs for slow-moving inventories or uncollectible accounts receivable.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue recognition policy plays a key role in our consolidated financial statements. Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods sold, recognized upon the shipment of goods to customers, and revenues are recognized when all of the following criteria are met:

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and Collectability is reasonably assured.

The revenue recognition policies for our legacy products, including all-terrain vehicles (“ATVs”), go-karts and electric vehicle (“EV”) products, are the same: When the products are delivered, the associated risk of loss is deemed transferred, and at that time we recognize revenue.

Warranty Liability

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

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

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

The following table sets forth the amounts and percentage relationship to revenue of certain items in our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

49

(a) Revenue

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, our revenue was $44,206,992 compared to $17,145,512 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $27,061,480 or 157.8% . The increase in revenue was mainly due to the increased EV parts sales during the third quarter of 2014.

EV Parts

Among our total revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2014, approximately $35,805,450, or 81.0%, resulted from the sale of EV parts. We started the EV parts business in the first quarter of 2014, and our revenue of EV parts increased $18,581,219 or 107.9% in the third quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2014. Our EV parts sales primarily consisted of the sales of battery packs, body parts, EV drive motors, EV controllers, air conditioning units and other auto parts to the JV Company for manufacturing of EV products. Of the total EV parts revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2014, approximately $30,404,499, or 84.9%, resulted from the sale of battery packs.

EV Products

Among our total revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2014, approximately $741,109, or 1.7%, resulted from the sale of EV products. The EV products revenue decreased $2,109,392, or 74.0% in the quarter ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the corresponding period last year. Under our agreement with our joint venture partner, Shanghai Maple Guorun Automobile Co., Ltd., a 99%-owned subsidiary of Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. in March 2013, our EV products manufacturing business will be gradually transferred to the JV Company. We will be primarily responsible for supplying the JV Company with EV parts in the future and the JV Company will be primarily responsible for the production of the EV products.

ATV, Go-Karts and OEM - EV

ATV and Go-Kart revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased 34.7% and 48.5%, respectively, year over year due to our realignment of our product mix for more efficient use of our resources to grow our business in the fast-growing EV market in China. The OEM business that was added during the second quarter of 2014 mainly to assemble EV products for the JV Company accounted $ 271,635, or 0.6% of total revenue, for the third quarter.

The following table summarizes our revenues as well as the number of units sold by product types for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

50

The following table shows the breakdown of our revenues from our customers during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 by geographical markets based on the location of the customers:

(b) Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold during the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $38,698,452, representing an increase of $25,666,100, or 196.9%, compared to $13,032,352 for three months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was mainly due to the increase in corresponding sales. However, the increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue outpaced the growth of our revenues, which was largely due to relatively less profitable raw material purchases in our newly-added EV parts product line. The sale of EV parts accounted for 81.0% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014. As a result, cost of goods sold for our EV parts product line comprised the majority, or 83.7%, of the total cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The cost of goods sold of our battery sales accounted for 71.3% of total cost of goods sold.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, excluding the battery business mentioned above, our cost of raw materials decreased 1.52% compared to the sales increase year over year.

Excluding the battery business mentioned above, total wages and salaries for the three months ended September 30, 2014, increased 3.66% compared to the sales increase year over year.

51

Excluding the battery business mentioned above, our other overhead costs for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased 1.84% compared to the sales increase year over year.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, raw material costs comprised approximately 94.3% of total cost of goods sold, labor costs comprised approximately 1.9% of total cost of goods sold, and manufacturing overhead comprised approximately 3.8% of the total cost of goods sold. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, raw material costs comprised approximately 85.7% of total cost of goods sold, labor costs comprised approximately 2.5% of total cost of goods sold, and manufacturing overhead comprised approximately 11.8% of the total cost of goods sold.

(c) Gross profit

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2014 increased 33.9% to $5,508,540, compared to $4,113,160 for the same period last year. This was primarily attributable to our significantly increased revenue during the quarter. Our gross margin decreased to 12.5% compared to 24.0% for the same period of 2013. The decreased gross margin was mainly because the majority of our revenue growth during the third quarter came from the relatively less profitable EV parts product line, which accounted for 81.0% of total revenue for the quarter and had gross margin of 9.6% compared to gross margin of 12.5% for the company as a whole.

(d) Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses were $432,365 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $102,380 for the same period in 2013, an increase of $329,985 or 322.3% . This increase was primarily attributable to a charge of $264,108 for repair and maintenance warranty during the third quarter of 2014 as discussed above. Excluding this charge, the selling and distribution expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased $65,877, or 64.3%, as compared to the same period of last year, which was largely due to increased shipping and handling expenses during the quarter.

(e) General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $2,076,749 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $2,893,935 for the same period in 2013, a decrease of $817,186 or 28.2% . For the three months ended September 30, 2014, general and administrative expenses included $2,024,550 in expenses for common stock awards to employees and consultants, compared to $28,000 for the same period in 2013. Excluding stock award costs, our net general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $52,199, a decrease of $2,813,736 or 98.2%, from $2,865,935 for the same period of 2013. The decease was primarily because the costs for our registered direct offering consummated during this third quarter were directly deducted from its gross proceeds, while the costs related to our capital raises during the corresponding period last year were included in our general administrative expenses.

52

(f) Research and development

Research and development expenses were $391,097 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $500,864 from the same period in 2013, a decrease of $109,767 or 21.9% . This decrease was primarily due to the certain machinery were used in our R&D process in the past few quarters while being used to regular operation during the current period.

(g) Government grants

Government grants totaled $63,584 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $52,507, or 474.0%, from $11,077 in the corresponding period in 2013. The increases were largely due to the subsidies we received from the Chinese government for promoting local business.

(h) Net interest (income) expense

Net interest expense was $711,119 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $1,184,282 for the same period last year, a decrease of $473,163 or 40.0% . This change was primarily attributable to an increase in interest income earned on loans made to third parties. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded interest income of $220,911, which included $201,528 earned on loans made to third parties and $19,383 earned on bank deposits. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded interest expense of $932,030, which included bank loan interest of $558,805 and bond interest of $373,225.

(i) Change in fair value of financial instruments

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the gain related to changes in the fair value of derivative liability relating to the warrants issued to investors and placement agents was $10,187,277, compared to a loss of $6,864,624 for the same period of last year, a change of $17,051,901 or 248.4% . The gain on the changes in the fair value of derivative liability is due to the decrease of the fair value price of the derivative which was primarily attributable to two factors. Firstly, it was caused by the decrease of the Company’s stock price of the common stock underlying the warrants issued on September 4, 2014, which decreased from $17.13 on the issuance date to $12.99 on September 30, 2014. Secondly, it was due to the passage of remaining life of the existing outstanding warrants (excluding the warrants issued in September 2014), especially a significant portion of the warrants will expire in January 2015.

(j) Share of (loss) of associated company

Investment gains were $38,702 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to a loss of $15,787 for the corresponding period in 2013, a change of $54,489, or 345.2%, primarily due to the liquidation of our investment in Jinhua Service as this entity was dissolved in the third quarter of 2014. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, these gains or losses were attributable to our 30% equity interest investment in Jinhua Service.

(k) Share of profit (loss) after tax of the JV Company

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the JV Company’s net sales was $46,847,556, gross income improved to $7,025,415, and net income increased to $4,398,828.

53

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, based on equity method of accounting we recorded equity income of $2,199,414, or 50% of the net profit of $4,398,828 of the JV Company due to our 50% ownership interest in the JV Company. After eliminating intra-entity profits and losses, our share of the after tax profit of the JV Company was $2,038,388 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to a loss of $109,640 for the same period of last year, an increase in income of $2,148,029 or 1,959.1% .

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, a total of 1,950 units of EV products were sold by the JV Company. According to the public Notice No. 54 issued by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and State Administration of Taxation, three of Kandi's pure EV models were chosen to be on the first approved list of New Energy Vehicles to qualify for a purchase tax exemption at the amount of 10% of the vehicle’s total purchase price, effective September 1, 2014 for three years. In anticipation of such an incentive policy, a number of customers had postponed their purchases until after September 1, 2014 to enjoy the tax exemption benefits, which negatively impacted the JV Company’s sales of EV products during this July and August.

(l) Other income, net

Net other income was $ 21,814 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $40,647 for the same period of last year, a decrease of $18,833 or 46.3% .

(m) Net income from continuing operation

Net income was $ 13,533,702 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to net loss of $ 7,763,851 for the same period in 2013, a change of $21,297,553 or 274.3% . The increase in net income was primarily attributable to increased revenue and gross profits, and the gain from the change in the fair value of derivative securities.

Excluding (i) the effects of stock award expenses, which were $2,024,550 and $28,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and (ii) the change of the fair value of financial derivatives, which was an income of $10,187,277 and a expense of $6,864,624 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, our net income (non-GAAP) was $5,370,975 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to a net loss (non-GAAP) of $871,227 (non-GAAP) for the same period of 2013, an increase of $6,242,202. This increase in net income (non-GAAP) was primarily attributable to the increase of revenue and gross profits during the three-month period.

We make reference to certain non-GAAP financial measure, i.e., the adjusted net income. Management believes that such adjusted financial result is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because it presents a meaningful measure of corporate performance. See the non-GAAP reconciliation table below. Any non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, and should only be read in conjunction with measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
