It is a common business practice among companies in the region of the PRC in which the Company is located to exchange guarantees for bank debt with no additional consideration given.

NOTE 17 – NOTES PAYABLE

By issuing bank notes payables rather than paying cash to suppliers, the Company can defer the payments until the date the bank notes payable are due. Simultaneously, the Company may need to deposit restricted cash in banks to back up the bank notes payable. The restricted cash deposited in banks will generate interest income.

Notes payable are summarized as follows:

23

---

A bank acceptance note is a promised future payment or time draft, which is accepted and guaranteed by a bank and drawn on a deposit at the bank. The banker's acceptance specifies the amount of money, the date, and the person to which the payment is due.

After acceptance, the draft becomes an unconditional liability of the bank. But the holder of the draft can sell (exchange) it for cash at a discount to a buyer who is willing to wait until the maturity date for the funds in the deposit.

All of the bank acceptance notes do not bear interest, but are subject to bank charges of 0.05% of the principal as a commission on each transaction. Bank charges for notes payable were $4,969 and $6,510 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Bank charges for notes payable were $1,637 and $6,510 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

No restricted cash was held as collateral for the notes payable as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

In October 2014, the Company repaid, without a prepayment penalty, all principal and interest to China Ever-bright Securities Co. Ltd. and CITIC Securities Company Limited. For the year ended December 31, 2014, $1,262,691 of interest expense was paid. There was no bond payable as at the end of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 respectively.

NOTE 19 – TAXES

(a) Corporation Income Tax

In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of the PRC, applicable corporate income tax (“CIT”) rate is 25%. However, Kandi Vehicle is qualified as a high technology company in China and is entitled to pay a reduced income tax rate of 15%. The applicable CIT rate of each of Kandi Vehicle’s three subsidiaries, Kandi New Energy, Yongkang Scrou and Kandi Wanning, the JV Company and its subsidiaries and the Service Company is 25%.

The Company is qualified as a high technology company in China and is entitled to pay a reduced CIT rate of 15%. After combining with the research and development tax credit of 25% on certain qualified research and development expenses, the final effective reduced income tax rate is23.5% . The combined tax benefits were 26.8% . The actual effective income tax rate was reduced from 25% to 18.3 % at June 30, 2015.

According to the PRC CIT reporting system, the CIT sales cut-off base is concurrent with the value-added tax (“VAT”), which should 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.

24

---

Under ASC 740, Income Taxes, 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 June 30, 2015, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) and state tax authorities where 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 has net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since these NOLs may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination. The Company also files certain tax returns in China. As of June 30, 2015, the Company was not aware of any pending income tax examinations by U.S. or China tax authorities. The Company's policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2015, 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 or six months ended June 30, 2015 due to the accumulated net operating loss carry forward from prior years in the United States.

Income tax expense (benefit) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is summarized as follows:

		For the Six Months Ended
		June 30,
		(Unaudited)
		2015			2014
Current:
Provision for CIT	$	2,137,524		$	556,135
Provision for Federal Income Tax		-			-
Deferred:
Provision for CIT		-			-
Income tax expense (benefit)	$	2,137,524		$	556,135

The Company’s income tax expense (benefit) differs from the “expected” tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (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:

		For the Six Months Ended

		(Unaudited)
		2015			2014

(b) Tax Benefit (Holiday) Effect

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the PRC CIT rate was 25%. Certain subsidiaries of the Company were entitled to tax benefit (holidays) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

As compensation for having Mr. Wei Chen serve as CEO assistant, the Board authorized the issuance by the Company to Mr. 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 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 “Non-GAAP Net Income” for the current fiscal year increased by 10% comparing to that of the prior year. 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 increased by 10% compared to the Non-GAAP Net Income for the 2013 fiscal year, the selected executives and other key employees each would 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 would be granted. If Non-GAAP Net Income in 2014 increased compared to Non-GAAP Net Income in 2013 but the increase is less than 10%, then the target amount of the common stock grant would be proportionately decreased. If Non-GAAP Net Income in 2014 increased compared to Non- GAAP Net Income in 2013 but the increase is more than 10%, then the target amount of the common stock grant would be proportionately increased up to 200% of the target amount. Any such increase in the grant would be subject to the total number of shares available under the Plan, and the Company’s Board 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 based on the Non-GAAP Net Income of the year of 2014. The compensation expense is recognized in General and Administrative Expenses. On April 17, 2015 and June 12, 2015, the Company issued 550,000 shares and 120,000 shares, respectively, to the senior management and key employee as year 2014 performance awards.

Zhejiang Geely is 90% owned by Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Company Limited and 10% owned by Zhejiang Maple Asset Management Co. Ltd. According to the JV Agreement, before the JV Company received vehicle production rights (license), the JV Company and its subsidiaries all may sell their products through the channel of Zhejiang Geely’s vehicle production rights (license) to the end customers or the Service Company, which purchased and used the cars in Hangzhou Micro Public Transportation project and group long-term lease project. Among the total sales to the JV Company and its subsidiaries, approximately 88%forthe six months ended June 30, 2015 and approximately 86%for the three months ended June 30, 2015of 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 has been completely transferred to the JV Company. The Company is mainly responsible for supplying the JV Company with EV parts and the JV Company is responsible for producing EV products and for selling finished goods through channels to its end customers.

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, Compensation — Stock Compensation, and ASC 505, Equity. 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.

Our warrant costs are recorded in liabilities and equities, respectively, in accordance with ASC 480,Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity, ASC 505, Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. 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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we recorded no allowance for doubtful accounts. This determination was made per our management’s judgment, which was based on their best knowledge.

35

---

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.

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 products, including EVs, EV parts and Off-road vehicles, 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. 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 sold before year 2015 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 EV products.

(a) Revenue

For the six months ended June 30,2015, our revenue was $91,744,546 compared to $73,131,359 for the same period of 2014, an increase of $18,613,187 or 25.5% . The increase in revenue was mainly due to the increase in EV parts sales during this period. The majority of the EV parts sales were battery sales.

The following table summarizes our revenues as well as the number of units sold by product types for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

		Six Months Ended June 30
		2015						2014
		Unit			Sales			Unit			Sales
EV parts		46,131		$	89,629,426			49,468		$	42,451,760
EV products		-			0			1,531			21,617,300
Off-road vehicles		2,914			2,115,120			11,843			9,062,299
Total		49,045		$	91,744,546			62,842		$	73,131,359

EV Parts

Among our total revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2015, approximately $89,629,426, or 97.7%, resulted from the sale of EV parts. Our revenue of EV parts increased $47,177,666, or 111.1%, compared to the first six months 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.

EV Products

Among our total revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no revenue from EV products sales because the manufacture of EV products was transferred to the JV Company based on the JV Agreement. As a result, the EV products revenue decreased $21,617,300, or 100% compared to the same period of 2014 Under the JV Agreement with our joint venture partner, Shanghai Maple Guorun Automobile Co., Ltd., since March 2013, our EV products manufacturing business has been gradually transferred to the JV Company, and such transfer was completed at the end of 2014. We are now primarily responsible for supplying the JV Company with EV parts and the JV Company is primarily responsible for the production of EV products.

Off-Road Vehicles

Among our total revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2015, approximately $2,115,120, or 2.3%, resulted from the sale of off-road vehicles. The off-road vehicles revenue decreased $6,947,178, or 76.7%, compared to the same period of 2014, mainly because the Company now focuses on the EV parts production, which is in line with the long-term strategy of the Company.

(b) Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold was $78,882,350 during the six months ended June 30, 2015, representing an increase of $17,832,488, or 29.2%, compared to the same period of 2014. This increase was mainly due to the increase in corresponding sales. Please also refer to (c) for cost details of each products.

(c) Gross profit

Gross profit for the first six months of 2015 increased 6.5% to $12,862,196, compared to $12,081,497 for the same period last year. Margin by product was as below:

38

---

The overall margin decreased from 16.5% for the first six months of 2014 to 14.0% for the same period of 2015.The principle reason for the decrease was that the Company did not sell any EV products directly to consumers in the 2015 period, which was a high margin business in the last year. The margin of EV parts has significantly improved from 9.3% of the six months of 2014 to 13.9% of the same period of 2015 due to the cost control and the scaled production for EV parts.

(d) Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses were $189,411 for the first six months of 2015, compared to$507,151 for the same period last year, a decrease of $317,740 or 62.7% .

This decrease was primarily due to the decrease of contractual maintenance and repair expense of EV products for $ 303,945 because we did not have EV products sales starting from year 2015.

(e) General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $7,625,661 for the first six months of 2015, compared to $9,643,944 for the same period of last year, a decrease of $2,018,283 or 20.9% . For the first six months of 2015, general and administrative expenses included $5,531,492 in expenses for common stock awards and stock options to employees and consultants, compared to $4,429,247 for the same period in 2014.

The decrease was primarily due to a placement agent fee of $1,963,408 occurred in the first six months of 2014. We did not incur a similar fee in the same period of 2015.

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. First, it was caused by the decrease in the market price of the Company’s common stock underlying the warrants issued on September 4, 2014, which decreased from $17.13 on the issuance date to $9.04 on June 30, 2015. Second, it was due to the passage of remaining life of 1,429,393 shares of warrants, a significant portion of the Company’s outstanding warrants. These warrants expired on January 30, 2015.

(k) Share of (loss) of associated company

Investment gains were $0 for the first six months of 2015, a positive change of $92,992 compared to the same period of last year, primarily due to the liquidation of our investment in Jinhua Service as this entity was dissolved in the third quarter of 2014.

After eliminating intra-entity profits and losses, our share of the after tax profit of the JV Company was $720,523 for the first six months of 2015, a decrease of $998,307 or 58.1% compared to the same period of last year, the main reasons for the decrease of the JV Company’s profits primarily due to the significant interest expense occurred for the increased bank loan for operating needs, and the increased operating expenses incurred compared to the same period last year, which were for the JV Company’s future business growth.

This increase in net income (non-GAAP) was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue and gross profits and the operating expense savings during this six-month period.

We make reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures, 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.
