NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY
The Company had working capital of $
Although the Company expects that most of its outstanding trade receivables from customers will be collected in the next twelve months, there are uncertainties with respect to the timing in collecting these receivables.
The Company’s primary need for liquidity
stems from its need to fund working capital requirements of the Company’s businesses, its capital expenditures and its general operations,
including debt repayment. The Company has historically financed its operations through short-term commercial bank loans from Chinese banks,
as well as its ongoing operating activities by using funds from operations, external credit or financing arrangements. Currently
the Company has sufficient cash in hand to meet the existing operational needs, but the credit line is retained and can be utilized
timely when the Company has special capital needs. The PRC subsidiaries do not have any short-term bank loans and the US subsidiaries
have $
NOTE 3 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

NOTE 5 - USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenues and expenses during the reported period in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements primarily include, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, lower of cost and net realizable value of inventory, assessment for impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, change in fair value of contingent consideration, determination of share-based compensation expenses as well as fair value of stock warrants.
Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
NOTE 6 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 6 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K/A.
NOTE 7 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, which requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, as if it had originated the contracts. Prior to this ASU, an acquirer generally recognizes contract assets acquired and contract liabilities assumed that arose from contracts with customers at fair value on the acquisition date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The ASU is to be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment (or if adopted early as of an interim period, as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application). The Company is currently assessing this standard’s impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 9 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company calculates earnings (loss) per share
in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings
(loss) per share represents basic earnings (loss) per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options
and warrants (using treasury stock method). Due to the average market price of the common stock during the period being below the exercise

NOTE 16 - TAXES
(a) Corporation Income Tax
Pursuant to the tax laws and regulations of the
PRC, the Company’s applicable corporate income tax (“CIT”) rate is
The Company’s provision or benefit from
income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete
items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective
tax rate, and if its estimated tax rate changes, management makes a cumulative adjustment. For 2022, the Company’s effective tax
rate is favorably affected by a super-deduction for qualified research and development costs and adversely affected by non-deductible
expenses such as stock rewards for non-US employees, and part of entertainment expenses. The Company records valuation allowances against
the deferred tax assets associated with losses and other timing differences for which we may not realize a related tax benefit.
The quarterly tax provision, and the quarterly
estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, is subject to significant variation due to several factors, including variability
in accurately predicting the Company’s pre-tax and taxable income and loss, acquisitions (including integrations) and investments,
changes in its stock price, changes in its deferred tax assets and liabilities and their valuation, return to provision true-up, foreign
currency gains (losses), changes in regulations and interpretations related to tax, accounting, and other areas. Additionally, the Company’s

Under ASC 740 guidance relating to uncertain tax positions, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements, 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, 2022, the Company did not have any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) and those states 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. 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 the PRC. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was not aware of any pending income tax examinations by U.S. or PRC tax authorities. The Company records interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense.

Litigation
Beginning in March 2017, putative shareholder class actions were filed against Kandi Technologies and certain of its current and former directors and officers in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaints generally alleged violations of the federal securities laws based on Kandi’s disclosure in March 2017 that its financial statements for the years 2014, 2015 and the first three quarters of 2016 would need to be restated, and sought damages on behalf of putative classes of shareholders who purchased or acquired Kandi Technologies’ securities prior to March 13, 2017. Kandi Technologies moved to dismiss the remaining cases, all of which were pending in the New York federal court, that motion was granted in September 2019, and the time to appeal has run. In June 2020, a similar but separate putative securities class action was filed against Kandi Technologies and certain of its current and former directors and officers in California federal court. This action was transferred to the New York federal court in September 2020, Kandi Technologies moved to dismiss in March 2021, and that motion was granted in October 2021. The plaintiff in this case subsequently filed an amended complaint, Kandi Technologies moved to dismiss that complaint in January 2022, and the motion remains pending.
Beginning in May 2017, purported shareholder derivative actions based on the same underlying events described above were filed against certain current and former directors of Kandi Technologies in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The New York federal court confirmed the voluntary dismissal of these actions in April 2019.
In October 2017, a shareholder filed a books and records action against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery pursuant to 8 Del. C. Section 220 seeking the production of certain documents generally relating to the same underlying items described above as well as attorney’s fees (the “Section 220 Litigation”). On September 28, 2018, the parties, through their respective counsel, agreed to dismiss the Section 220 Litigation with prejudice and with each party bearing its own attorney’s fees, costs, and expenses, thereby concluding the action. In February 2019, this same shareholder commenced a derivative action against certain current and former directors of Kandi Technologies in the Delaware Court of Chancery. A motion to dismiss this derivative action was filed in May 2019 and that motion was denied on April 27, 2020. Discovery is ongoing.
Separately, in connection with allegations of misconduct identified in pre-suit demands made by putative shareholders of Kandi Technologies, Kandi Technologies formed a Special Litigation Committee (“SLC”) and retained a Delaware law firm as independent counsel to the SLC to aid in the SLC’s investigation of, and to ultimately report on, the allegations of misconduct set forth in the pre-suit demands. The SLC recommended to Kandi Technologies’ board of directors in June 2020 that the SLC be dissolved in light of the ongoing derivative action pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery, and this recommendation was adopted by the board in August 2020.
In December 2020, a putative securities class action was filed against Kandi Technologies and certain of its current officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The complaint generally alleges violations of the federal securities laws based on claims made in a report issued by Hindenburg Research in November 2020, and seeks damages on behalf of a putative class of shareholders who purchased or acquired Kandi Technologies’ securities prior to March 15, 2019. Kandi moved to dismiss this action in January 2022, and that motion remains pending.
While the Company believes that the claims in these litigations are without merit and will defend itself vigorously, the Company is unable to estimate the possible loss, if any, associated with these litigations. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain and the outcome of these matters, whether favorable or unfavorable, could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations due to defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. Defending litigation can be costly, and adverse results in the litigations could result in substantial monetary judgments. No assurance can be made that litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position.

These documents are available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval System at http://www.sec.gov.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. If these estimates differ significantly from actual results, the impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements may be material. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in on the 2021 Form 10-K/A. Please refer to Part II, Item 7 of such a report for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Overview
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized total revenue of $45,732,587 as compared to $45,853,589 for the same period of 2021, a decrease of $121,002 or 0.3%. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded $5,106,030 of gross profit, a decrease of 51.1% from the same period of 2021. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 11.2%, compared to 22.8% for the same period of 2021. We recorded a net loss of $3,494,665 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a net income of $34,526,754 in the same period of 2021, a decrease of $38,021,419 or 110.1% from the same period of 2021.
Thanks to our business strategy adjustment, our business has made some progress, despite the resurgences of COVID-19, which has been causing frequent lockdowns in many cities and severe disruption of supply chain. Especially in the field of the pure electric off-road vehicles, we have achieved steady growth. In the first half of this year, we developed a number of pure electric off-road vehicles, including UTV, ATV, crossover golf carts and crossover go-karts. The number of crossover golf carts delivered from factory has increased from dozens in March 2022 to more than 2,000 per month. In the second half of the year, we will continue launching new models one after another, as we are optimistic with the potential of pure electric off-road vehicles’ market to be over $ 2.2 billion by 2028, with a healthy CAGR of 19% from this year. Our various newly launched off-road vehicles, such as golf karts and ATVs are getting recognized in the market. In this regard, we are confident to achieve sustained growth in the field of the pure electric off-road vehicles. As for our EV business, due to the persisting COVID-19 situation in China and the fact that the Chinese EV market has not entered a healthy and orderly development stage, currently the Company will continue to operate in small-scale, and expedite the progress when the EV market of China entered a healthy and orderly development stage.

(a) Revenue
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, Zhejiang Kandi Technologies, its subsidiaries and SC Autosports’ revenue was $20,841,183 compared to $29,875,835 for the same period of 2021, representing a decrease of $9,034,652 or 30.2%. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the decrease in the sales volume of Electric Scooters, Electric Self-Balancing Scooters and associated parts and EV parts.
The following table summarizes Zhejiang Kandi Technologies, its subsidiaries and SC Autosports’ revenues by product types for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

EV Parts
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, Zhejiang Kandi Technologies, its subsidiaries and SC Autosports’ revenues from the sales of EV parts were $588,775, representing a decrease of $6,091,740 or 91.2% from $6,680,515 for the same quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the reduced demand from the market during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Zhejiang Kandi Technologies, its subsidiaries and SC Autosports’ revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily consisted of revenue from the sales of battery packs, body parts, EV controllers, air conditioning units and other auto parts for use in the manufacturing of EV products. These sales accounted for 2.8% of total sales.
EV Products
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, Zhejiang Kandi Technologies, its subsidiaries and SC Autosports’ revenue from the sale of EV Products was $2,486,558, representing an increase of $1,875,746 or 307.1% from $610,812 for the same quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly due to the sales of EV K23 to car hailing platform in China market during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Zhejiang Kandi Technologies, its subsidiaries and SC Autosports’ EV Products business line accounted for approximately 11.9% of the total net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Off-Road Vehicles
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, Zhejiang Kandi Technologies, its subsidiaries and SC Autosports’ revenue from the sales of off-road vehicles, including go karts, all-terrain vehicles (“ATVs”) and others, were $10,092,141, representing an increase of $4,618,946 or 84.4% from $5,473,195, for the same quarter of 2021. The increase was because a new brand of off-road vehicle was introduced to the US market with aggressive price in order to promote its sales during the current period, as well as our new model of crossover golf carts which were sold in US market in the second quarter of this year.
Zhejiang Kandi Technologies, its subsidiaries and SC Autosports’ off-road vehicles business line accounted for approximately 48.4% of the total net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Electric Scooters, Electric Self-Balancing Scooters and associated parts
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, Zhejiang Kandi Technologies, its subsidiaries and SC Autosports’ revenue from the sales of electric scooters, electric self-balancing scooters and associated parts, were $1,217,074, representing a decrease of $15,309,362 or 92.6% from $16,526,436, for the same quarter of 2021.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2022 decreased 55.4% to $2,718,867, compared to $6,097,782 for the same period last year. This was primarily attributable to the product mixing with higher concentration of products with lower gross margin being sold during the current period. Our gross margin decreased to 13.0% compared to 20.4% for the same period of 2021. The decrease in our gross margin was mainly due to the higher concentration of sales from the products with lower gross margin such as lithium-ion cells which was not sold in second quarter of 2021, and less concentration of the sales of products with higher gross margin such as Electric Scooters, Electric Self-Balancing Scooters as well as EV parts. Besides, we have brought in a new brand of off-road vehicle to the US market, and we have sold at a more aggressive price in order to promote its sales.

(g) Gain on disposal of long-live assets
Gain on disposal of long-live assets was $0 for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $48,253,667 for the same period last year, which was related to the real estate repurchase agreement of our Jinhua Facility’s relocation.

Gross profit for the first half of 2022 decreased 51.1% to $5,106,030, compared to $10,452,133 for the same period last year. This was primarily attributable to the product mixing with higher concentration of products with lower gross margin being sold during the current period. Our gross margin decreased to 11.2% compared to 22.8% for the same period of 2021. The decrease in our gross margin was mainly due to the higher concentration of sales from the products with lower gross margin such as lithium-ion cells which was not sold in first half of 2021, and less concentration the sales of products with higher gross margin such as Electric Scooters, Electric Self-Balancing Scooters as well as EV parts. Besides, we have brought in a new brand of off-road vehicle to the US market, and we have sold at a more aggressive price in order to promote its sales.
(d) Research and development
Research and development expenses, including materials, labor, equipment depreciation, design, testing, inspection, and other related expenses, totaled $2,394,429 for the first half of 2022, a decrease of $22,795,073 or 90.5% compared to $25,189,502 for the same period in 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the completion of Company’s R&D expenditure in the same period of 2021 for new product.
(e) Sales and marketing
Selling and distribution expenses were $2,366,227 for the first half of 2022, compared to $2,204,383 for the same period in 2021, representing an increase of $161,844 or 7.3%. The increase was mainly due to the increased customs clearing charges.
(f) General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were $12,330,610 for the first half of 2022, compared to $9,789,695 for the same period in 2021, representing an increase of $2,540,915 or 26.0%. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, general and administrative expenses included $639,690 as expenses for common stock awards and stock options to employees and Board members, compared to $1,429,456 of common stock awards and stock options expenses for the same period in 2021. Besides stock compensation expense, our net general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $11,690,920, representing an increase of $3,330,681, from $8,360,239 for the same period in 2021, which was largely due to increase in depreciation expense and amortization expense compared to the same period in 2021.
(g) Gain on disposal of long-live assets
Gain on disposal of long-live assets was $0 for the first half of 2021, compared to $48,253,667 for the same period last year, which was related to the real estate repurchase agreement of our Jinhua Facility’s relocation. In June 2020, 73,333 square meters of land use right was transferred to the local government, and the related gain was recognized in the second quarter of 2020. The Company’s Jinhua facility moved out of the old location and completed the relocation process in April 2021. The relevant Economic Zone authorities inspected the vacated land and determined that it met all stipulated conditions. The remaining related gain on disposal of long-live asset was recognized in the second quarter of 2021.
31
(h) Interest income

The increase was primarily attributable to the increased interest earned on increased certificate of deposit compared to the same period in 2021.
(i) Interest expenses
Interest expenses were $286,577 in the first half of 2022, representing an increase of $82,160 or 40.2% compared to $204,417 for the same period of last year.

(j) Change in fair value of contingent consideration
For the first half of 2022, the gain related to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration was $2,299,000, compared to $0 for the same period in 2021, which was mainly due to the adjustment of the fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with the remaining shares of restrictive common stock (Please refer to NOTE 18 – CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION LIABILITY). The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was estimated at each reporting date by using the Monte Carlo simulation method, which took into account all possible scenarios.
(k) Government grants
Government grants were $707,317 for the first half of 2022, compared to $349,195 for the same period last year, representing an increase of $358,122, or 102.6%, which was largely attributable to the award for our research and development granted by Jinhua local government in the second quarter of 2022.
(l) Gain from equity sale in the Former Affiliate Company
Gain from equity sale was $0 for the first half of 2022, compared to $17,733,911 for the same period last year, which was due to the Affiliate Equity Transfer. On February 18, 2021, Zhejiang Kandi Technologies signed an Equity Transfer Agreement with Geely to transfer all of its remaining 22% equity interests in the Former Affiliate Company to Geely for a total consideration of RMB 308 million (approximately $48 million). Zhejiang Provincial Administration for Market Regulation recorded the update of the ownership of Former Affiliate Company on March 9, 2021. On March 16, 2021, the Company received the first half of the equity transfer payment of RMB 154,000,000 (approximately $24 million). As of March 9, 2021, the equity transfer had been completed. Therefore, in the first half of 2021, the Company has recognized the gain from equity sale.

32
(n) Other income, net
Net other income was $2,417,310 for the first half of 2022, representing a decrease of $1,908,680 or 44.1% compared to net other income of $4,325,990 for the same period of last year, which was largely due to the income from the discount of accounts payable after negotiation with supplier in the same period of last year.
(o) Income Taxes
In accordance with the relevant Chinese tax laws and regulations, the applicable corporate income tax rate of our Chinese subsidiaries is 25%. However, four of our subsidiaries, including Zhejiang Kandi Technologies, Kandi Smart Battery Swap, Kandi Hainan and Jiangxi Huiyi are qualified as high technology companies in China and are therefore entitled to a reduced corporate income tax rate of 15%. Additionally, Hainan Kandi Holding also has an income tax rate of 15% due to its local preferred tax rate in Hainan Free Trade Port.
Each of our other subsidiaries, Kandi New Energy, Yongkang Scrou, China Battery Exchange and its subsidiaries has an applicable corporate income tax rate of 25%.
Our actual effective income tax rate for the first half of 2022 was a tax benefit of 17.72% on a reported loss before taxes of approximately $4.2 million, compared to a tax expense of 19.04% on a reported income before taxes of approximately $42.6 million for the same period of last year.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Exchange Rate Risk
While our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, the majority of our revenues and costs are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of our assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk because our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the RMB. To the extent that the Company needs to convert the U.S. dollar into RMB for capital expenditures and working capital and other business purposes, appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount the Company would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if the Company decides to convert RMB into the U.S. dollar for the purpose of making payments for dividends on common stock, strategic acquisitions or investments or other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to the Company. In addition, a significant depreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar may significantly reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Company’s earnings or losses. Since 2005, China reformed its exchange rate regime and the RMB is no longer pegged to the U.S. dollar. In 2010, the People’s Bank of China decided to move to further reform the RMB exchange rate regime to enhance the flexibility of the RMB exchange rate. For RMB against U.S. dollar, there was appreciation of approximately 6.3% and 2.3% during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar in the future, but the RMB may appreciate or depreciate more significantly in value against the U.S. dollar or other foreign currencies, depending on the market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies.
34
While the Chinese RMB is freely convertible under the current account, it remains strictly regulated in the capital account. Chinese authorities have expressed their willingness to allow the RMB to be fully convertible in the near future.
To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure. Accordingly, we may incur economic losses in the future due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, which could have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interest Rate Risk
We had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and certificate of deposit totaling $232.5 million and notes receivable of $0.7 million as of June 30, 2022. Cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. As of June 30, 2022, we had $1.5 million of short-term bank loans and $2.2 million of long-term loans outstanding, which are fixed rate instruments. Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest income generated from cash held in bank deposits and notes receivable, and interest expenses generated from short-term bank loans. We believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in fair value as a result of changes in interest rates due to the short term nature of our cash equivalents. We have not been exposed nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates.
Inflation Rate Risk
According to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) released by National Bureau of Statistics of China, in 2021, the average annual inflation rate in China ranged at around 0.85 percent compared to the previous year. Projections by the IMF published in April 2021 expect the average annual inflation rate to reach about 2.1 percent in the year of 2022. In June 2022, the monthly inflation rate in China ranged at 2.5 percent compared to the same month in the previous year, up from 2.1 percent in the previous month of May 2022. After reaching a monthly inflation rate of 5.4 percent in January 2020, it has decreased steadily thereafter but it appears that there is an increasing trend during 2022.
Economic and Political Risks
Our operations in China 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 in China and foreign currency exchange. Our performance may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in China, 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.
35
Credit Risk
Credit risk is one of the most significant risks for the Company’s business.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Cash held at major financial institutions located in the PRC are not insured by the government. While we believe that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthiness.
Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and derived from revenue earned from customers, thereby exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. The Company manages credit risk through in-house research and analysis of the Chinese economy and the underlying obligors and transaction structures. To minimize credit risk, the Company normally require prepayment from the customers prior to begin production or delivery products. The Company identifies credit risk collectively based on industry, geography and customer type. This information is monitored regularly by management.
Epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks Risk
The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely affected, and in the future it or other epidemics, pandemics or outbreaks may adversely affect, our operations. This is or may be due to closures or restrictions requested or mandated by governmental authorities, disruption to supply chains and workforce, reduction of demand for our products and services, and credit losses when customers and other counterparties fail to satisfy their obligations to us. We share most of these risks with all businesses.
In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty. The current outbreak and continued spread of COVID-19 may cause a global recession, which would have a further adverse impact on our financial condition and operations, and this impact could exist for an extensive period.
The Company is continuing to monitor the situation and take appropriate actions in accordance with the recommendations and requirements of relevant authorities. The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance is currently uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the Company’s control, including, without limitation, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic, the development and availability of effective treatments and vaccines, the imposition of protective public safety measures, and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy and demand for consumer products.
Additional future impacts on the Company may include, but are not limited to, material adverse effects on demand for the Company’s products and services; the Company’s supply chain and sales and distribution channels; the Company’s ability to execute its strategic plans; and the Company’s profitability and cost structure. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
