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. As used herein, the terms “Company”, “The Company” or “Kandi” refer to Kandi Technologies and its operating subsidiaries, as described below.

Headquartered in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, People’s Republic of China (“China”), the Company is one of China’s leading producers and manufacturers of electric vehicle (“EV”) products (through the JV Company), EV parts, and off-road vehicles for sale in Chinese and global markets. The Company conducts its primary business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Vehicles”), and Kandi Vehicles’ wholly and partially-owned subsidiaries, and SC Autosports LLC (“SC Autosports”).

The Company’s organizational chart as of June 30, 2019 is as follows:

5

Operating Subsidiaries:

Pursuant to certain VIE (as defined below in this report) agreements that were executed in January 2011, Kandi Vehicles is entitled to 100% of the economic benefits, voting rights and residual interests (100% of profits and losses) of Jinhua Kandi New Energy Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“Kandi New Energy”). Kandi New Energy currently holds battery pack production licensing rights, and supplies battery packs to the JV Company (as such term is defined below).

In April 2012, pursuant to an agreement with the shareholders of YongkangScrou Electric Co, Ltd. (“YongkangScrou”), the Company acquired 100% of YongkangScrou, a manufacturer of automobile and EV parts. YongkangScrou currently manufactures and sells EV drive motors, EV controllers, air conditioners and other electric products to the JV Company.

In March 2013, pursuant to a joint venture agreement (the “JV Agreement”) entered into by 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 EV products and related auto parts. In March 2014, the JV Company changed its name to Kandi Electric Vehicles Group Co., Ltd. On March 21, 2019, Kandi Vehicle signed an Equity Transfer Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) with Geely Technologies Group Co., Ltd. (“Geely”) to transfer certain equity interests in the JV Company to Geely. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the JV Company converted a loan of RMB 314 million (approximately $46.7 million) from Geely Group last year to equity in order to increase its cash flow. As a result, the registered capital of the JV Company became RMB 2.44 billion (approximately $363.2 million), of which Kandi Vehicles owns 43.47% and Geely owns 56.53%, respectively, upon the conversion of the loan into equity in the JV Company. After that, Kandi Vehicles further agreed to sell 21.47% of its equity interests in the JV Company to Geely for a total amount of RMB 516 million (approximately $76.9 million). Kandi Vehicles shall own 22% of the equity interests of the JV Company after the transfer. As of the date of this report, the equity transfer has not been completed yet.

In March 2013, Kandi Vehicles formed Kandi Electric Vehicles (Changxing) Co., Ltd. (“KandiChangxing”) in the Changxing (National) Economic and Technological Development Zone. KandiChangxing is engaged in the production of EV products. In the 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 KandiChangxing to the JV Company. The Company, through its 43.47% ownership interest in the JV Company, owns an indirect 43.47% economic interest in KandiChangxing.

In November 2013, Kandi Electric Vehicles Jinhua Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Jinhua”) was formed by the JV Company. The JV Company has a 100% ownership interest in Kandi Jinhua, and the Company, through its 43.47% ownership interest in the JV Company, indirectly owns a 43.47% economic interest in Kandi Jinhua.

As of the date of this report, Kandi Vehicle has not made any capital contribution to Supply Chain Company and is not involved in its operations.

The Company’s primary business operations consist of designing, developing, manufacturing and commercializing EV products (through Kandi Hainan and the JV Company), EV parts and off-road vehicles. As part of its strategic objective of becoming a leading manufacturer of EV products (through the JV Company) and related services, the Company has increased its focus on pure EV-related products, and is actively pursuing expansion in the Chinese and international markets, especially the U.S. market.

NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY

The Company had a working capital of $9,640,337 as of June 30, 2019, an increase of $7,113,426 from a working capital of $2,526,911 as of December 31, 2018.

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, especially the receivables due from the JV Company, because most of them are indirectly impacted by the progress of the receipt of government subsidies.

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. These loans typically have one year terms, and upon the payment of all outstanding principal and interest on a particular loan, the banks have typically rolled over the loan for an additional one-year term, with adjustments made to the interest rate to reflect prevailing market rates. This practice has been ongoing and the Company believes that short-term bank loans will remain available on normal trade terms if needed.

We finance our ongoing operating activities by using funds from our operations, external credit or financing arrangements. We routinely monitor current and expected operational requirements and financial market conditions to evaluate the use of available financing sources. Considering our existing working capital position and our ability to access debt funding sources, we believe that our operations and borrowing resources are sufficient to provide for our current and foreseeable capital requirements to support our ongoing operations for the next twelve months.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company signed an agreement to sell 21.47% of its equity interests in the JV Company to Geely for a total amount of RMB 516 million (approximately $75.2 million). The Company received RMB 100 million (approximately $14.6 million) on April 11, 2019 and RMB 100 million (approximately $14.6 million) on July 12, 2019 from Geely, and the rest is expected to be collected before September 25, 2019. The Company plans to apply the proceeds from the equity transfer to its ongoing operations.

As of the date of this report, the JV Company has received a national subsidy payment of RMB 876 million (approximately $127.7 million). In connection with the transfer of the equity interests of the JV Company in the first half of 2019 as described above and elsewhere in this report, the JV Company is restructuring its management team. The new management team needs time for the transition. As it is out of our control as to when the new management team of the JV Company will finish the transition of work, we cannot predict the exact date of us receiving the amount due from the JV Company. However, based on its sufficient cash flow, the Company expects to receive the amount due from the JV Company within one year at the latest.

The cash flow and operating capacity of the Company will be greatly improved after we receive the above payments.

NOTE 5 - USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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 China. As a result, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in China, and by the general state of the Chinese 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 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 and foreign currency exchange restrictions. The Company’s 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.

(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 for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, short-term bank loans, notes payable, and contingent consideration.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The estimated fair values of short-term bank loans were not materially different from their carrying value as presented due to the brief maturities and because the interest rates on these borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturities and risk profiles. As the carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of fair value, these financial instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company identified notes payable as Level 2 instruments due to the fact that the inputs to valuation are primarily based upon readily observable pricing information. As notes payable of the Company usually has maximum terms of six months, the Company assumes the carrying value of notes payable equals fair value. The balance of notes payable, which were measured and disclosed at fair value, was $20,258,972 and $12,787,619 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

10

Contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of Jinhua An Kao and SC Autosports, which is accounted for as liabilities, are measured at each reporting date for their fair value using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of contingent consideration was $6,619,000 and $7,256,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s restricted cash was $1,573,992 and $6,690,870, respectively.

(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 basis of weighted average and comprises direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.

Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less selling expenses and any further costs expected to be incurred for completion. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to 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 for 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 exhaustive collection efforts. 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. If accounts receivable previously written off is recovered in a later period or when facts subsequently become available to indicate that the amount provided as an allowance for doubtful accounts was incorrect, an adjustment is made to restate allowance for doubtful accounts.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, credit terms with the Company’s customers were typically 180 to 360 days after delivery. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had a $135,557 and $120,010 allowance for doubtful accounts, as per the Company management’s judgment based on their best knowledge. The Company conducts quarterly assessments of the state of the Company’s outstanding receivables and reserves any allowance for doubtful accounts if it becomes necessary.

(f) Amount due from the JV Company, net

Net amount due from the JV Company represent net trade receivable from the JV Company, loan lending to the JV Company as well as interest related to such loan. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s net amount due from the JV Company includes $58 million net trade receivable and $2 million loan interest. As of the date of this report, the JV Company has received a national subsidy payment of RMB 876 million (approximately $127.7 million). In connection with the transfer of the equity interests of the JV Company in the first half of 2019 as described above and elsewhere in this report, the JV Company is restructuring its management team. The new management team needs time for the transition. As it is out of our control as to when the new management team of the JV Company will finish the transition of work, we cannot predict the exact date of us receiving the amount due from the JV Company. However, based on its sufficient cash flow, the Company expects to receive the amount due from the JV Company within one year at the latest.

(g) Other Receivable

Other receivable represent receivables other than trade receivable, amount due from the JV Company, amount due from related party and notes receivable. As of June 30, 2019, the company’s other receivable includes $5.2 million short-term loan lending to unrelated party with 6% annual interest rate, in order to maximize the use of idle cash.

11

(h) Notes receivable

Notes receivable represent short-term loans to third parties with maximum terms of six months. Interest income is recognized according to each agreement between a borrower and the Company on an accrual basis. For notes receivable with banks, the interest rates are determined by banks. For notes receivable with other parties, the interest rates are based on agreements between the parties. If notes receivable are paid back, that transaction will be recognized in the relevant year. If notes receivable are not paid back, or are written off, that transaction will be recognized in the relevant year if 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, the Company provides an accrual for the related foreclosure and litigation expenses. The Company also receives notes receivable from the JV Company and other parties to settle accounts receivable. If the Company decides to sell notes receivable at a discount for the purpose of receiving immediate cash, the current discount rate is approximately in the range of 3.50% to 4.50% annually. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had notes receivable from unrelated parties of $0 and $72,712, respectively, which notes receivable typically mature within six months. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had notes receivable from JV Company and other related parties of $1,456,537 and $3,861,032, respectively, which notes receivable typically mature within six months.

(i) Advances to Suppliers

Advances to suppliers represent cash paid in advance to suppliers, and include advances to raw material suppliers, mold manufacturers, and equipment suppliers.

Advances for raw material purchases are typically settled within two months of the Company’s receipt of the raw materials. Prepayment is offset against the purchase price after the equipment or materials are delivered.

(j) Property, Plants and Equipment

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

Buildings	30 years
Machinery and equipment	10 years
Office equipment	5 years
Motor vehicles	5 years
Molds	5 years

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

(k) Construction in Progress

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

(l) Land Use Rights

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

(m) 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 disposal costs.

The Company recognized no impairment loss during the reporting period.

12

(n) Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers with a date of the initial application of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition. The impact of the adoption of ASC Topic 606 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is not material.

In determining when and how revenue is recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The Company generates revenue through sales of EV parts and off-road vehicles. The revenue is recognized at a point in time once the Company has determined that the customer has obtained control over the product. Control is typically deemed to have been transferred to the customer when the performance obligation is fulfilled, usually at the time of delivery, at the net sales price (transaction price). Estimates of variable consideration, such as volume discounts and rebates, are determined, reviewed and revised periodically by management. The amount of variable consideration recognize is limited and is not likely to be reversed. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Shipping and handling costs for product shipments occur prior to the customer obtaining control of the goods are accounted for as fulfillment costs rather than separate performance obligations and recorded as sales and marketing expenses.

The Company’s contracts are predominantly short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC Topic 606 exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

Receivables are recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration.

See Note 23 “Segment Reporting” for disaggregation of revenue by reporting segments. The Company believes this disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

(o) Research and Development

Expenditures relating to the development of new products and processes, including improvements to existing products, are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses were $632,590 and $642,889 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, respectively. Research and development expenses were $1,170,023 and $1,400,187 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, respectively.

(p) Government Grants

Grants and subsidies received from the Chinese government are recognized when the proceeds are received or collectible and related milestones have been reached and all contingencies have been resolved.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, $175,319 and $15,558, respectively, were received by the Company’s subsidiaries from the Chinese government. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, $223,043 and $110,813, respectively, were received by the Company’s subsidiaries from the Chinese government.

(q) 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 Company management’s best estimate of 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 will be uncertain.

(r) 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

	June 30,		December 31,		June 30,
	2019		2018		2018
Period end RMB : USD exchange rate		6.8656		6.8764		6.61905
Average RMB : USD exchange rate		6.7839		6.6146		6.3666

(s) 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.

(t) Segments

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

(u) Stock Option Expenses

The Company’s stock option expenses are recorded in accordance with ASC 718.

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.

The recognition of stock option expenses is based on awards expected to vest. 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 expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, were $0 and $589,430. The stock-based option expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, were $0 and $1,586,926 net of a reversal for forfeited stock option of $2,644,877, respectively. See Note 18. There were no forfeitures estimated during the reporting period.

(v) Goodwill

The Company allocates goodwill from business combinations to reporting units based on the expectation that the reporting unit is 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.

14

Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgments, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and the 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 June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired.

(w) Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of patent, trade names and customer relations associated with the purchase price from the allocation of YongkangScrou and Jinhua An Kao. Such assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are amortized as of June 30, 2019. The amortization expenses for intangible assets were $157,967 and $167,563 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The amortization expenses for intangible assets were $ 317,470 and $335,588 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

(x) Accounting for Sale of Common Stock and Warrants

Gross proceeds are first allocated according to the initial fair value of the freestanding derivative instruments (i.e. the warrants issued to the Company’s investors in its previous offerings, or the “Investor Warrants”). The remaining proceeds are allocated to common stock. The related issuance expenses, including the placement agent cash fees, legal fees, the initial fair value of the warrants issued to the placement agent and others were allocated between the common stock and the Investor Warrants based on how the proceeds are allocated to these instruments. Expenses related to the issuance of common stock were charged to paid-in capital. Expenses related to the issuance of derivative instruments were expensed upon issuance.

(y) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with accounting standards regarding consolidation of variable interest entities, or VIEs, VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.

The Company has concluded, based on the contractual arrangements, that Kandi New Energy is a VIE and that the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Kandi Vehicles, absorbs a majority of the risk of loss from the activities of this company, thereby enabling the Company, through Kandi Vehicles, to receive a majority of its expected residual returns.

Additionally, because Kandi New Energy is under common control with other entities, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the transactions had occurred retroactively as to the beginning of the reporting period of these consolidated financial statements.

Control and common control are defined under the accounting standards as “an individual, enterprise, or immediate family members who hold more than 50 percent of the voting ownership interest of each entity.” Because the owners collectively own 100% of Kandi New Energy, and have agreed to vote their interests in concert since the establishment of each of these three companies as memorialized in the Voting Rights Proxy Agreement, the Company believes that the owners collectively have control and common control of Kandi New Energy. Accordingly, the Company believes that Kandi New Energy was constructively held under common control by Kandi Vehicles as of the time the contractual agreements were entered into, establishing Kandi Vehicles as their primary beneficiary. Kandi Vehicles, in turn, is owned by Continental, which is owned by the Company.

NOTE 7 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or may be required to adopt in the future are summarized below:

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard on revenue recognition related to contracts with customers. This standard supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance and involves a five-step principles-based approach to recognizing revenue. The new model requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive. The new standard also require additional qualitative and quantitative about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments made in applying the revenue guidance, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The impact of adoption on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented is not material.

15

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.” This ASU amends existing guidance to require that deferred income tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a classified balance sheet, and eliminates the prior guidance which required an entity to separate deferred tax assets and liabilities into a current amount and a non-current amount in a classified balance sheet. The Company adopted this standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2018. The impact of adoption on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented is not material.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, together with subsequent Accounting Standards Updates collectively known as the “leases standard” or “ASC 842”. ASC 842 requires a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. All leases create an asset and a liability for the lessee in accordance with FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements. Effective January 1, 2019, we have adopted the new standard using the effective date approach. We elected to adopt both the transition relief provided in ASU 2018-11 and the package of practical expedients which allowed us, among other things, to retain historical lease classifications and accounting for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard. Additionally, we elected the practical expedients allowing us not to separate lease and non-lease components and not record leases with an initial term of twelve months or less (“short-term leases”) on the balance sheet across all existing asset classes.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities of $140,000 as of January 1, 2019, which primarily relates to our corporate office leases for SC Autosports. The standard did not materially impact our condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. Adopting the new standard did not have a material impact on the accounting for leases under which we are the lessee.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,” Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, to require financial assets carried at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected based on historical experience, current conditions and forecasts. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of lease accounting standards. The ASUs are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the ASUs is modified retrospective. We are currently obtaining an understanding of the ASUs and plan to adopt them on January 1, 2020.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers Other than Inventory, which requires companies to recognize the income-tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than when the asset has been sold to an outside party. The Company adopted this standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2018. The impact of adoption on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented is not material.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash,” (“ASU 2016-18”). This ASU requires a statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2018. The impact of adoption on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented is not material.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which revises the definition of a business and provides new guidance in evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The Company adopted this standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2018. The impact of adoption on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented is not material.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 (Topic 350) Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This ASU will be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

16

In February 2018, the FASB released ASU 2018-2, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This standard update addresses a specific consequence of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. tax reform”) and allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the stranded tax effects resulting from U.S. tax reform. Consequently, the update eliminates the stranded tax effects that were created as a result of the historical U.S. federal corporate income tax rate to the newly enacted U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. The Company is required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company has finished the evaluation and determined there is no impact of on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 In June, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, as part of its ongoing Simplification Initiative. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions where the grantor is acquiring goods or services being used or consumed in its own operations by issuing these awards. They do not apply to share-based payments that are used to effectively provide financing for the grantor/issuer or that are granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract which should be accounted for under Topic 606. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted as long as the adoption is not earlier than the adoption of Topic 606. The Company has evaluated the transactions and determined there is no impact of on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements because the Company expenses the non-employee Share-Based payment in the same period and in the same manner that a cash-based payment would be.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements under ASC 820. This ASU is to be applied on a prospective basis for certain modified or new disclosure requirements, and all other amendments in the standard are to be applied on a retrospective basis. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 9 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants (using treasury stock method). For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 3,900,000 and 3,900,000 potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of dilutive earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 3,900,000 and 3,900,000 potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of dilutive earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

The following is the calculation of earnings per share for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	For three months ended
	June 30,

NOTE 16 - NOTES PAYABLE

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

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 note specifies the amount of the funds, 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. $1,323,992 and $6,440,870 were held as collateral for the notes payable as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

As is common business practice in the PRC, the Company issues notes payable to its suppliers as settlement for accounts payable.

The Company’s notes payable also include the borrowing from the third party.

Notes payable for June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were summarized as follows:

NOTE 17 - 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 25%. However, Kandi Vehicles and Jinhua Ankao qualify as High and New Technology Enterprise (“HNTE”) companies in the PRC, and are entitled to pay a reduced income tax rate of 15% for the years presented. A HNTE Certificate is valid for three years. An entity may re-apply for an HNTE certificate when the prior certificate expires. Historically, Kandi Vehicles has successfully re-applied for such certificates when the its prior certificates expired. Jinhua Ankao qualify as HNTE since 2018. Therefore no records for renewal are available. The applicable CIT rate of each of the Company’s three other subsidiaries, Kandi New Energy, Yongkang Scrou and Kandi Hainan, the JV Company and its subsidiaries is 25%.

Our tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment. For 2019, we estimate that our effective tax rate will be favorably affected by non-taxable income such as the share of income of the JV Company and the gain from the change of fair value of contingent liabilities and certain research and development super-deduction and adversely affected by non-deductible expenses such as part of entertainment expenses. We record valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets associated with losses for which we may not realize a related tax benefit. After combining research and development tax credits of 25% on certain qualified research and development expenses, the Company’s effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018 were a tax benefit of 6.02% on a reported loss before taxes of approximately $12.5 million, and an effective income tax rate with a tax expense of 2.59% for the same period of last year on a reported income before taxes of approximately $5.2 million, respectively.

Our quarterly tax provision, and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, is subject to significant variation due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax and taxable income and loss, acquisitions (including integrations) and investments, changes in our stock price, changes in our 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, our effective tax rate can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income or loss. Our income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was tax benefit of $751,193 and tax expense of $135,645, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the guidance in ASC 740 relating to uncertain tax positions. The guidance 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 December 31, 2018, 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 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 the PRC. As of June 30, 2019, 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. As of June 30, 2019 the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The aggregate NOLs in 2018 was $28.1 million and the aggregate NOLs in 2017 was $22.7 million deriving from entities in the PRC, Hong Kong and US. The NOLs will start to expire from 2021 if they are not used. The cumulative net operating loss in the PRC can be carried forward for five years, to offset future net profits for income tax purposes. The cumulative net operating loss Pre-2018 in the U.S. can be carried forward for twenty years. The cumulative net operating loss in Hong Kong can be carried forward without an expiration date.

(b) Tax Holiday Effect

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the PRC CIT rate was 25%. Certain subsidiaries of the Company are entitled to tax exemptions (tax holidays) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

The combined effects of income tax expense exemptions and reductions available to the Company for the six months June 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
	2019		2018
Tax benefit (holiday) credit	$	169,810	$	38,861
Basic net income per share effect	$	0.000	$	0.000

(c) The Tax Cuts and Job Act

On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in its financial statements. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in its financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Tax Act.

In connection with our initial analysis of the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”) Tax Act, we recorded provisional estimates related to the re-measurement of deferred taxes and the Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax in our financial statements for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The measurement period ended on December 22, 2018. As of December 22, 2018, we have completed the accounting for the impact of the Tax Act based on the guidance, interpretations, and data available. No adjustments to these provisional estimates have been recorded.

Under TCJA, Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (” GILTI “) tax rules the Company must make an accounting policy election to either (1) recognize taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (2) factor such amount into the Company’s measure of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). The Company elected to treat the GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred.

NOTE 18 - STOCK OPTIONS

On May 29, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the grant of stock options to purchase 4,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $9.72 per share, to the Company’s directors, officers and senior employees. The stock options will vest ratably over three years and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The Company valued the stock options at $39,990,540 and had amortized the stock compensation expense using the straight-line method over the service period from May 29, 2015, through May 29, 2018. The value of the stock options was estimated using the Black Scholes Model with an expected volatility of 90%, an expected life of 10 years, a risk-free interest rate of 2.23% and an expected dividend yield of 0.00%. For six months ended June 30, 2019, there was $0 in stock compensation expenses associated with stock options booked, as all expenses had been amortized as of May 29, 2018.

The following is a summary of the stock option activities of the Company:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price

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 in such investees, 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 in such investees, 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.

On March 21, 2019, Kandi Vehicle signed an Equity Transfer Agreement with Geely Technologies Group Co., Ltd. to transfer certain equity interests in the JV Company to Geely. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the JV Company converted a loan of RMB 314 million (approximately $46.7 million) from Geely Group last year to equity in order to increase its cash flow. As a result, the registered capital of the JV Company became RMB 2.44 billion (approximately $363.2 million), of which Kandi Vehicles owned 43.47% and Geely owned 56.53%, respectively, upon the conversion of the loan into equity in the JV Company (the “March JV Loan to Equity Conversion”). Kandi Vehicles further agree to sell 21.47% of its equity interests in the JV Company to Geely for a total amount of RMB 516 million (approximately $76.9 million) (the “JV Equity Transfer”). Kandi Vehicles shall own 22% of the equity interests of the JV Company as a result of the transfer. As of June 30, 2019, the equity transfer has not been completed yet. Therefore, in the first half of 2019, the Company has not recognized the gain from equity sale.

As of June 30, 2019, the JV Company consolidated its interests in the following entities on its financial statements: (1) its 100% interest in Kandi Changxing; (2) its 100% interest in Zhejiang Chang Dian and each of its two direct wholly-owned subsidiaries, Chang Dian Tonglu and Jiangsu Gu Xiang; (3) its 100% interest in Kandi Shanghai; (4) its 100% interest in Kandi Jiangsu and each of its four direct wholly-owned subsidiaries, i.e., JiHeKang, JiHeKang Service Company, Liuchuang and KandiJinhua; and (5) 100% interest in each of the directly wholly-owned subsidiaries of JiHeKang, i.e., Tianjin BoHaiWan, Jiangsu JiDian and Guangdong JiHeKang. The Company accounted for its investments in the JV Company under the equity method of accounting. Since the March JV Loan to Equity Conversion was completed at the very end of the first quarter, the Company still recorded 50% of the JV Company’s loss for the first quarter of 2019. Starting from the second quarter of the 2019, since our equity interests in the JV Company have been reduced to 43.47%, the Company recorded 43.47% of the JV Company’s loss for the second quarter of 2019. As a result, the Company’s consolidated net income for three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 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:

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, the JV Company’s revenues were derived primarily from the sales of EV products and EV parts in China. Because the Company has a 43.47% ownership interest in the JV Company as of June 30, 2019 and 50% as of June 30, 2018 and accounted for its investments in the JV Company under the equity method of accounting, the Company did not consolidate the JV Company’s financial results, but instead included equity income from the JV Company during such periods.

The gain from equity dilution for six months ended, June 30, 2019 resulted from the JV Company issuing shares to the JV partner, Greely, in exchange for extinguishment of a loan from Greely, resulting in dilution of equity ownership of the Company from 50% to 43.47%. This dilutive transaction was treated as if the Company sold a proportional share of its investment in the JV Company.

Sales to the Company’s customers, the JV Company and its subsidiaries, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, were $4,089,534 or 16.9% of the Company’s total revenue, a decrease of 13.7% from $4,740,751 of the same quarter last year. Sales to the Company’s customers, the JV Company and its subsidiaries, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, were $5,823,031 or 13.8% of the Company’s total revenue, a decrease of 20.7% from $7,344,195 of the same quarter last year. Sales to the JV Company and its subsidiaries were primarily of battery packs, body parts, EV drive motors, EV controllers, air conditioning units and other auto parts.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the current and noncurrent amount due from the JV Company and its subsidiaries, was $61,029,110 and $67,801,735, respectively. The breakdown is as below:

On March 15, 2013, the Company entered into a guarantee contract to serve as the guarantor of Nanlong Group Co., Ltd. (“NGCL”) for NGCL’s $2,913,074 (RMB 20 million) loan from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Jinhua Branch, with a related loan period of March 15, 2013, to March 15, 2016. NGCL is not related to the Company. Under this guarantee contract, the Company agreed to assume joint liability as the loan guarantor. In April 2017, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank filed a lawsuit against NGCL, the Company and ten other parties in Zhejiang Province People’s Court in Yongkang City, alleging NGCL defaulted on a bank loan borrowed from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank for a principal amount of approximately $2.9 million and demanded that the guarantor bear the liability for compensation. On May 27, 2017, a judicial mediation took place in Yongkang City and parties reached a settlement in mediation, in which the plaintiff agreed NGCL would repay the loan principal and interest in installments. So long as NGCL repays the principal and interest according to the agreement, the plaintiff will not ask the Company for recovery. As of June 30, 2019, the Company expects the likelihood of incurring losses in connection with this matter to be remote.

On September 29, 2015, the Company entered into a guarantee contract to serve as the guarantor of Zhejiang Shuguang Industrial Co., Ltd. (“ZSICL”) for a bank loan in the amount of $4,223,957 (RMB 29 million) from Ping An Bank, with a related loan period of September 29, 2015, to September 28, 2016. ZSICL is not related to the Company. Under this guarantee contract, the Company agreed to perform all the obligations of ZSICL under the loan contract if ZSICL failed to perform its obligations as set forth therein. In August 2016, Ping An Bank Yiwu Branch (“Ping An Bank”) filed a lawsuit against ZSICL, the Company, and three other parties in Zhejiang Province People’s Court in Yiwu City, alleging ZSICL defaulted on a bank loan it had borrowed from Pin An Bank for a principal amount of RMB 29 million or approximately $4.2 million (the “Principal”), for which the Company was a guarantor along with other three parties. On December 25, 2016, the court ruled that ZSICL should repay Ping An Bank the principal and associated interest remaining on the bank loan within 10 days once the adjudication was effective. Additionally, the court found that the Company and the three other parties, acting as guarantors, have joint liability for this bank loan. On July 31, 2017, the Company and Ping An Bank reached an agreement to settle. According to the agreement, the Company was to pay Ping An Bank RMB 20 million or approximately $3.0 million in four installments before October 31, 2017 to release the Company from its guarantor liability for this default. As of October 31, 2017, the Company has paid all four installments totaling RMB 20 million or approximately $3.0 million to Ping An Bank and thus the Company has been released from its guarantor liability for this default. According to the Company’s agreement with ZSICL, ZSICL agreed to reimburse all the Company’s losses due to ZSICL’s default on the loan principal and interests, of which RMB 11.9 million has been reimbursed to the Company as of the date of this report and the remainder is expected to be reimbursed in installments within next two years. The Company expects the likelihood of incurring losses in connection with this matter to be low.

On August 29, 2018, the Company entered into a guarantee contract to serve as the guarantor for the JV Company for bank acceptance notes in the aggregate amount of $3,058,728 (RMB 21 million) from Bank of China, with a related period of August 29, 2018 to February 29, 2019, and which were paid off on February 29, 2019. Under this guarantee contract, the Company agreed to perform all the obligations of the JV Company under the loan contract if the JV Company fails to perform its obligations as set forth therein.

On August 30, 2018, the Company entered into a guarantee contract to serve as the guarantor for Kandi Jiangsu for bank loans in the aggregate amount of $7,282,685 (RMB 50 million) from China Merchants Bank Nantong branch, with a related loan period of August 31, 2018 to February 28, 2019, and was paid off on February 1, 2019. On February 1, 2019, the loan was renewed with a term of February 1, 2019 to July 31, 2019 and was paid off on July 31, 2019. Under this guarantee contract, the Company agreed to perform all the obligations of the JV Company under the contract if the Kandi Jiangsu fails to perform its obligations as set forth therein.

On September 3, 2018, the Company entered into a guarantee contract to serve as the guarantor for the JV Company for bank acceptance notes in the aggregate amount of $4,223,957 (RMB 29 million) from Bank of China, with a related period of September 3, 2018 to March 3, 2019 and was paid off on March 3, 2019. Under this guarantee contract, the Company agreed to perform all the obligations of the JV Company under the contract if the JV Company fails to perform its obligations as set forth therein.

(2) Pledged collateral for bank loans to other parties.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, none of the Company’s land use rights or plants and equipment were pledged as collateral securing bank loans to other parties.

Litigation

Beginning in March 2017, putative shareholder class actions were filed against the Company 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 the Company’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 seek damages on behalf of putative classes of shareholders who purchased or acquired Kandi’s securities prior to March 13, 2017. All the remaining cases are in the New York federal court, and lead plaintiff and lead counsel have been appointed. Kandi has moved to dismiss the remaining cases and that 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 the Company 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.

30

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 the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery. A motion to dismiss this derivative action was filed in May 2019 and remains pending.

Separately, in connection with allegations of misconduct identified in pre-suit demands made by putative shareholders of Kandi, Kandi formed a Special Litigation Committee (“SLC”) and retained a Delaware law firm as the 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, investigation remains ongoing.

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.

Note 24 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Considering Kandi Jiangsu would receive the pure electric vehicle manufacturer license, there is no need to use the manufacturer license held by Geely Automobile Shanghai Branch anymore; Considering that the cost of production in Shanghai is higher than that in other regions, the JV Company decided to transfer all of the equity interests of Kandi Shanghai to Zhejiang Yiting Holding Co., Ltd. in accordance with the net asset value of approximately RMB579 million (approximately $84 million). Both parties entered into such equity transfer agreement in early July 2019. The completion of the payment of the equity transfer consideration is expected to occur within one year.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology, such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain such terms.

In addition, these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding implementing our business strategy; development and marketing of our products; our estimates of future revenue and profitability; our expectations regarding future expenses, including research and development, sales and marketing, manufacturing and general and administrative expenses; difficulty or inability to raise additional financing, if needed, on terms acceptable to us; our estimates regarding our capital requirements and our needs for additional financing; attracting and retaining customers and employees; sources of revenue and anticipated revenue; and competition in our market.

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, 2018 and those set forth from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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

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

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 will be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within operating expenses. We had allowances for doubtful accounts of $135,557 and $120,010 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, in accordance with our management’s judgment 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. 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. There were $901,110 and $840,701 of decline in net realizable value of inventory as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, due to our provision for slow moving inventory.

32

Although we believe that there is little likelihood that actual results will differ materially from our 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.

Policy affecting recognition of revenue

Our revenue recognition policy plays a key role in our consolidated financial statements.

In determining when and how revenue is recognized from contracts with customers, we perform the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) we satisfy each performance obligation.

We generate revenue through the sale of EV products, EV parts and off-road vehicles. Our revenue recognition policies are the same for our EV products, EV parts and off-road. The revenue is recognized at a point in time once we have determined that the customer has obtained control over the product. Control is typically deemed to have been transferred to the customer when the performance obligation is fulfilled, usually at the time of delivery, at the net sales price (transaction price). Estimates of variable consideration, such as volume discounts and rebates, are determined, reviewed and revised periodically by management. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers. Such taxes are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Shipping and handling costs for product shipments occurring prior to the customer obtaining control of the goods are accounted for as fulfillment costs rather than separate performance obligations and recorded as sales and marketing expenses.

Policy affecting options, warrants and convertible notes

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 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, ASC 505 and ASC 815. The fair value of a warrant, which is classified as a liability, is estimated using the Binomial Tree 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. Our 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.

In accordance with ASC 815, the conversion feature of the convertible notes is separated from the debt instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument. On the date the convertible notes are issued, the conversion feature is recorded as a liability at its fair value, and future decreases in fair value are recognized in earnings while increases in fair values are recognized in expenses. We used the Black-Scholes -Merton option-pricing model to obtain the fair value of the conversion feature. The 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 conversion features. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the conversion features is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement.

33

Warranty Liability

Most of our non-EV products (“Legacy Products”) are exported out of China to foreign countries that have legal and regulatory requirements with which we are not familiar. The 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 price negotiations for our products. 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 reliability of our products, we have been able to maintain this warranty policy and we have not had any product liability issues attributed to our products.

The aforementioned warranty procedures are in place with the exception of SC Autosports, our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary. SC Autosports offers warranties for sale for products manufactured by Bennche, LLC (“Bennche”) and Massimo Motor Sports, LLC (“Massimo”), which cover ATVs, UTVs, electric vehicles (EVs), etc. sold in the United States, subject to certain coverage limitations. Based on different products and models, warranties last for a term of twelve (12) months, six (6) months or 90 days, effective from the date of purchase by the original owner. As an authorized dealer, SC Autosports is responsible for making repairs and replacements covered by the warranties at no charge for parts and labor.

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

Results of Operations

Overview

We are one of the leading manufacturers of EV products (through the JV Company), EV parts and off road vehicles in China. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized total revenue of $42,214,690 as compared to $24,695,513 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $17,519,177, or 70.9%, primarily due to the increased revenue of EV parts sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $7,338,591 of gross profits, an increase of $3,934,628 or 115.6% from the same period of 2018, primarily due to the increase of revenue from the sale of EV parts. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 17.4%, an increase compared to 13.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. We recorded a net loss of $11,727,630 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net income of $5,102,520 in the same period of 2018, largely due to the increased share of loss of the JV Company, resulting from the national subsidy policy adjustment and pending restructuring of the JV Company, as well as the increased operation cost of the Company since Hainan facility has been put into production.

The current subsidy standard is provided for in the Circular on Further Improving the Subsidy Policies for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles, which was jointly promulgated by the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission in 2019. The current subsidy standard reduces the amount of national subsidies and cancels local subsidies, resulting in a significant reduction in the total subsidy amount as compared to 2018. We believe the new subsidy standard presents both challenges and opportunities to the Company. In the past few years, although the government had a strong support policy for new energy vehicles, the unstable subsidy policy and the unpredictable timing of receiving such subsidies have exerted tremendous pressure on the Company’s cash flow. Currently, in order to adapt to the new subsidy standard, the JV Company is making full use of Geely Group’s resources and developing new models with goals to be independent of the government’s subsidies and have strong competitiveness at the same time. We plan to place the new model to market by the end of this year or at the beginning of 2020. We believe the Company will have greater opportunities for development at that time.

(a) Revenue

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, our revenue was $24,146,230 compared to $16,359,606 for the same period of 2018, representing an increase of $7,786,624 or 47.6%. The increase in revenue was due to the increase in both EV parts and off-road vehicles sales during this quarter. The increase in EV parts sales was primarily due to the increased sales volume.

The following table summarizes our revenues by product types for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018
	Sales		Sales
EV parts	$	18,988,741	$	15,509,780
Off-road vehicles		5,157,489		849,826
Total	$	24,146,230	$	16,359,606

EV Parts

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, our revenues from the sales of EV parts were $18,988,741, representing an increase of $3,478,961 or 22.4% from $15,509,780 for the same quarter of 2018.

Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 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 78.6% of total sales.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, our revenue from the sale of EV parts to the JV Company and its subsidiaries accounted for approximately 17% and 29% of our total net revenue for the quarter, respectively. The EV parts we sold to the JV Company were used in manufacturing pure EV products by the JV Company’s subsidiaries. In connection with the transfer of the equity interests of the JV Company in the first half of 2019 as described elsewhere in this report, the JV Company is currently restructuring its management team, redesigning its business strategies and production outlines. The JV Company’s production of EV products is currently under adjustment. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the EV parts we provided to the JV Company were primarily used for battery upgrade and market maintenance for the EV products that were previously put into the leasing market.

Off-Road Vehicles

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, our revenue from the sales of off-road vehicles, including go karts, all-terrain vehicles (“ATVs”) and others, were $5,157,489, representing an increase of $4,307,663 or 506.9% from $849,826, for the same quarter of 2018. The increase in revenue of selling off-road vehicles was largely due to additional sales from SC Autosports, which became our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary in July 2018.

Our off-road vehicles business line accounted for approximately 21.4% of our total net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

(b) Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold was $19,944,076 during the three months ended June 30, 2019, representing an increase of $5,642,482, or 39.5%, compared to $14,301,594 for the same period of 2018. The increase was primarily due to the corresponding increase in sales. Please refer to the Gross Profit section below for product margin analysis.

(c) Gross profit

Our margins by product for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are as set forth below:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2019									2018
	Sales		Cost		Gross Profit		Margin %			Sales		Cost		Gross Profit		Margin %
EV parts	$	18,988,741		15,826,401		3,162,340		16.7	%	$	15,509,780		13,583,969		1,925,811		12.4	%

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2019 increased 104.2% to $4,202,154, compared to $2,058,012 for the same period last year. This was primarily attributable to the sales increase. Our gross margin increased to 17.4% compared to 12.6% for the same period of 2018. The increase in our gross margin was mainly due to the higher gross margin from off-road vehicle sales of our U.S. subsidiary, SC Autosports, which was able to effectively procure inventory at discounted prices. The increased selling price of Jinhua Ankao’s charging and exchanging equipment and the increased proportion of Jinhua Ankao’s high-margin battery processing business this year also contributes to the increase of our gross margin.

(d) Research and development

Research and development expenses, including materials, labor, equipment depreciation, design, testing, inspection, and other related expenses, totaled $632,590 for the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of $10,299 or 1.6% compared to $642,889 for the same period of last year.

(e) Sales and marketing

Selling and distribution expenses were $899,478 for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $228,173 for the same period last year, representing an increase of $671,305 or 294.2%. The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of the sales and marketing expenses from SC Autosports, which became our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary in July 2018.

37

(f) General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $5,623,798 for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $3,861,263 for the same period of last year, representing an increase of $1,762,535 or 45.6%. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, general and administrative expenses included $1,282,733 as expenses for common stock awards and stock options to employees and Board members, compared to $1,837,965 of common stock awards and stock options expenses for the same period in 2018. Excluding stock compensation expense, our net general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $4,341,065, representing an increase of $2,317,767, from $2,023,298 for the same period of 2018, which was largely due to the increased operation cost of the Company since Hainan facility has been put into operation.

(g) Interest income

Interest income was $97,814 for the second quarter of 2019, representing a decrease of $358,970 or 78.6% compared to $456,784 for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased interest earned on loans to the JV Company since Kandi Vehicles’ loan to JV converted to equity in the second quarter of 2018.

(h) Interest expenses

Interest expenses were $429,355 in the second quarter of 2019, representing a decrease of $42,261 or 9.0% compared to $471,616 for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily due to less interest expenses incurred associated with the note payable to a third party. Of the interest expenses, $0 and $0 were discounts associated with the settlement of bank acceptance notes for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

(i) Change in fair value of contingent consideration

For the second quarter of 2019, the gain related to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration was $548,000, a decrease of $138,833 or 20.2% compared to gain related to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration of $686,833 for the same period of last year, which was mainly due to the decrease in fair value of contingent liability between December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 was less than the decrease in the same period of last year.

(j) Government grants

Government grants were $175,319 for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $15,558 for the same quarter last year, representing an increase of $159,761, or 1026.9%, which was largely attributable to the grants received from the local government as a result of its implementation of a new policy with the purpose of supporting companies that have no or less layoff of their employees.

(k) Gain from equity dilution in JV

Gain from equity dilution was a negative $24,131 for the second quarter of 2019 which was due to exchange rate difference. There was no equity dilution in the second quarter of 2019.

(l) Share of income (loss) after tax of the JV Company

For the second quarter of 2019, the JV Company’s net sales revenue was $2,828,732, gross loss was $2,606,809, and net loss was $10,359,258. We accounted for our investments in the JV Company under the equity method of accounting. Because the March JV Loan to Equity Conversion was completed at the end of the first quarter and the JV Equity Transfer has not been completed as of June 30, 2019, we recorded 43.47% of the JV Company’s loss of $4,503,088 for the second quarter of 2019. After eliminating intra-entity profits and losses, our share of loss of the JV Company was $4,500,201 for the second quarter of 2019. The losses incurred by the JV Company was largely attributable to the fact that there were almost no EV products sold in the first half of 2019 due to the adjustment of the national subsidy policy and the pending restructuring of the JV Company, as well as an increase in R&D expenses compared with same period of last year.

(m) Other income (loss), net

Net other loss was $174,597 for the second quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of $802,179 or 127.8% compared to net other income of $627,582 for the same period of last year, which was largely due to the disposal of certain obsolete products during the second quarter.

38

(n) Income Taxes

In accordance with the relevant Chinese tax laws and regulations, our applicable corporate income tax rate is 25%. However, Kandi Vehicle and Jinhua An Kao are qualified as high technology companies in China and are therefore entitled to a reduced corporate income tax rate of 15%.

Each of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kandi New Energy, Yongkang Scrou and Kandi Hainan, has an applicable corporate income tax rate of 25%.

We have a 43.47% ownership interest in the JV Company, which has an applicable corporate income tax rate of 25%. Each of the JV Company’s subsidiaries has an applicable corporate income tax rate of 25% as well.

Our actual effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2019 was a tax expense of 0.79% on a reported loss before taxes of approximately $7.3 million, compared to a tax benefit of 35.62% on a reported income before taxes of approximately $1.0 million for the same period of last year.

(o) Net income (loss)

Net loss was $7,318,158 for the second quarter of 2019, representing a decrease of $8,692,683 compared to net income $1,374,525 for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the increased share of loss of the JV Company compared to the same period of last year, a result of adjustment of the national subsidy policy and the pending restructuring of the JV Company, as well as the increased operation cost of the Company since Hainan facility has been put into production.

Excluding (i) the effects of stock compensation expenses, which were $1,282,733 and $1,837,965 for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and (ii) the change in fair value of contingent consideration which was a gain of $548,000 and $686,833 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, our non-GAAP net loss was $6,583,425 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to non-GAAP net income $2,525,657 for the same period of 2018, a decrease of $9,109,082, or 360.7%. The decrease in net income (non-GAAP) was primarily attributable to increased share of loss of the JV Company compared to the same period of last year, a result of the adjustment of the national subsidy policy and the pending restructuring of the JV Company, as well as the increased operation cost of the Company since Hainan facility has been put into production.

We make reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures, i.e., adjusted net income. Management believes that such adjusted financial results are useful for investors in evaluating our operating performance because they present 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.

The following table summarizes our non-GAAP net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,
	2019			2018

(a) Revenue

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, our revenue was $42,214,690 compared to $24,695,513 for the same period of 2018, representing an increase of $17,519,177 or 70.9%. The increase in revenue was due to the increase in both EV parts and off-road vehicles sales during this quarter. The increase in EV parts sales was primarily due to the increased sales volume of battery packs.

The following table summarizes our revenues by product types for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	Six Months Ended June 30
	2019		2018
	Sales		Sales
EV parts	$	31,760,181	$	21,882,377
Off-road vehicles		10,454,509		2,813,136
Total	$	42,214,690	$	24,695,513

EV Parts

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our revenue from the sale of EV parts was $31,760,181, representing an increase of $ 9,877,804 or 45.1% from $21,882,377 for the same quarter of 2018.

Our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 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 75.2% of the total sales.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, our revenue from the sale of EV parts to the JV Company and its subsidiaries accounted for approximately 14% and 30% of our total net revenue for the period, respectively. The EV parts we sold to the JV Company were used in manufacturing pure EV products by the JV Company’s subsidiaries. In connection with the transfer of the equity interests of the JV Company in the first half of 2019 as described elsewhere in this report, the JV Company is currently restructuring its management team, redesigning its business strategies and production outlines. The JV Company’s production of EV products is currently under adjustment. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the EV parts we provided to the JV Company were primarily used for battery upgrade and market maintenance for the EV products that were previously put into the leasing market.

Off-Road Vehicles

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our revenue from the sales of off-road vehicles, including go karts, all-terrain vehicles (“ATVs”) and others, were $10,454,509, representing an increase of $ 7,641,373 or 271.6% from $2,813,136 for the same quarter of 2018. The increase in revenue of the off-road vehicles was largely due to the additional sales from SC Autosports, which became our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary in July 2018.

Our off-road vehicles business line accounted for approximately 24.8% of our total net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

(b) Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold was $34,876,099 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, representing an increase of $13,584,549, or 63.8%, compared to $21,291,550 for the same period of 2018. The increase was primarily due to the corresponding increase in sales. Please refer to the below Gross Profit section for product margin analysis.

(c) Gross profit

Our margins by product for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are as set forth below:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019									2018
	Sales		Cost		Gross Profit		Margin %			Sales		Cost		Gross Profit		Margin %
EV parts	$	31,760,181		26,635,967		5,124,214		16.1	%	$	21,882,377		18,824,760		3,057,617		14.0	%
Off-road vehicles		10,454,509		8,240,132		2,214,377		21.2	%		2,813,136		2,466,790		346,346		12.3	%
Total	$	42,214,690		34,876,099		7,338,591		17.4	%	$	24,695,513		21,291,550		3,403,963		13.8	%

Gross profit for the first half of 2019 increased 115.6% to $7,338,591, compared to $3,403,963 for the same period last year. This was primarily attributable to the sales increase. Our gross margin increased to 17.4% compared to 13.8% for the same period of 2018. The increase in our gross margin was mainly due to the higher gross margin from the off-road vehicle sales of SC Autosports, our U.S. subsidiary, which was able to effectively procure its inventory at discounted prices.

(d) Research and development

Research and development expenses, including materials, labor, equipment depreciation, design, testing, inspection, and other related expenses totaled $1,170,023 for the first half of 2019, representing a decrease of $230,164 or 16.4% compared to $1,400,187 for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily due to decreased material procurement expense of research and development from the same period of last year.

(e) Sales and marketing

Selling and distribution expenses were $1,517,481 for the first half of 2019, compared to $976,398 for the same period last year, representing an increase of $541,083 or 55.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to inclusion of the sales and marketing expenses from SC Autosports, which became our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary in July 2018.

(f) General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $7,663,326 for the first half of 2019, compared to $3,463,092 for the same period of last year, representing an increase of expenses of $4,200,234 or 121.3%. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, general and administrative expenses included $1,314,408 as expenses for common stock awards and stock options to employees and Board members, compared to $222,259 for the same period of 2018, representing the result of $2,867,136 as expenses for common stock awards and stock options to employees and Board members net of $2,644,877 of reversal of previously accrued stock option expenses for forfeited stock option for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Excluding stock compensation expenses, our net general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $6,348,918, representing an increase of $3,108,085, or 95.9%, from $3,240,833 for the same period of 2018, which was largely due to the increased operation costs of the Company since Hainan facility has been put into production.

(g) Interest income

Interest income was $350,218 for the first half of 2019, representing a decrease of $1,049,559 or 75.0% compared to $1,399,777 for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decreased interest earned on loans to the JV Company since Kandi Vehicles’ loan to JV converted to equity in the second quarter of 2018.

(h) Interest expenses

Interest expenses were $868,538 in the first half of 2019, representing a decrease of $153,495 or 15.0% compared to $1,022,033 for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily due to less interest expenses incurred associated with the note payable to a third party. Of the interest expenses, $0, and $53,342 were discounts associated with the settlement of bank acceptance notes for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

42

(i) Change in fair value of contingent consideration

 For the first half of 2019, the gain related to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration was $637,000, representing a decrease of $2,730,012 or 81.1% compared to gain related to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration of $3,367,012 for the same period of last year, which was mainly due to the decrease in fair value of contingent liability between December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 was less than the decrease in the same period of last year.

(j) Government grants

Government grants were $223,043 for the first half of 2019, compared to $110,813 for the same quarter last year, representing an increase of $112,230, or 101.3%.This increase in government grants was because of the government’s implementation of a new policy with the purpose of supporting companies that have no or less layoff of their employees..

(k) Gain from equity dilution in JV

Gain from equity dilution was $4,341,259 for the first half of 2019 which was primarily due to gain from the March JV Loan to Equity Conversion. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the JV Company converted a loan of RMB 314 million (approximately $45.7 million) from Geely Group last year to equity in order to increase its cash flow. As a result, our equity interests in the JV Company decreased to 43.47% in March, 2019.

(l) Share of income (loss) after tax of the JV Company

For the first half of 2019, the JV Company’s net sales were $4,085,605, gross loss was $2,628,351, and net loss was $30,550,572. We accounted for our investments in the JV Company under the equity method of accounting. Because the March JV Loan to Equity Conversion was completed at end of the first quarter and the JV Equity Transfer has not been completed as of June 30, 2019, we recorded 50% of the JV Company’s loss for the first quarter of 2019 and recorded 43.47% of the JV Company’s loss for the second quarter of 2019. As a result, we record the JV Company’s loss for $14,591,456 for the first half of 2019. After eliminating intra-entity profits and losses, our share of loss after tax of the JV Company was $14,449,359 for the first half of 2019, representing a decrease of $17,617,110 compared to $3,167,751 of share of income after tax of the JV Company in the same period of last year. The decrease of the JV Company’s profits was largely due to the fact that there were almost no EV products sold in the first half of 2019 due to the adjustment of the national subsidy policy and the pending restructuring of the JV Company, as well as an increase in R&D expenses compared with same period of last year.

(m) Other income, net

Net other income was $299,793 for the first half of 2019, representing a decrease of $350,766 or 53.9% compared to net other income of $650,559 for the same period of last year, which was largely due to the disposal of some obsolete products during the second quarter.

(n) Income Taxes

In accordance with the relevant Chinese tax laws and regulations, our applicable corporate income tax rate is 25%. However, Kandi Vehicle and Jinhua An Kao are qualified as high technology companies in China and are therefore entitled to a reduced corporate income tax rate of 15%.

Each of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kandi New Energy, Yongkang Scrou and Kandi Hainan, has an applicable corporate income tax rate of 25%.

We have a 43.47% ownership interest in the JV Company, which has an applicable corporate income tax rate of 25%. Each of the JV Company’s subsidiaries has an applicable corporate income tax rate of 25% as well.

Our actual effective income tax rate for the first half of 2019 was a tax benefit of 6.02% on a reported loss before taxes of approximately $12.5 million, compared to a tax expense of 2.59% on a reported income before taxes of approximately $5.2 million.

43

(o) Net income (loss)

Net loss was $11,727,630 for the first half of 2019, representing a decrease of $16,830,150 compared to net income $5,102,520 for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the increased share of loss of the JV Company compared to the same period of last year, a result of the adjustment of the national subsidy policy and the pending restructuring of the JV Company, as well as the increased operation cost of the Company since Hainan facility has been put into production.

Excluding (i) the effects of stock compensation expenses, which were $1,314,408 and $2,867,136 net of a reversal for forfeited stock option of $2,644,877 for the first half of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and (ii) the change in fair value of contingent consideration which was a gain of $637,000 and $3,367,012 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, our non-GAAP net loss was $11,050,222 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to non-GAAP net income $1,957,767 for the same period of 2018, a decrease of $13,007,989, or 664.4%. The decrease in net income (non-GAAP) was primarily attributable to the increased share of loss of the JV Company compared to the same period of last year, a result of the adjustment of the national subsidy policy and the pending restructuring of the JV Company, as well as the increased operation cost of the Company since Hainan facility has been put into production.

We make reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures, i.e., adjusted net income. Management believes that such adjusted financial results are useful for investors in evaluating our operating performance because they present 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 the GAAP.

The following table summarizes our non-GAAP net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
	2019			2018
GAAP net (loss) income	$	(11,727,630	)	$	5,102,520
Stock compensation expenses		1,314,408			222,259
Change in fair value of contingent consideration		(637,000	)		(3,367,012	)
Non-GAAP net (loss) income	$	(11,050,222	)	$	1,957,767

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow

For the first half of 2019, cash used in operating activities was $33,118,904, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $165,499 for the same period last year. Our operating cash inflows include cash received primarily from sales of our EV parts and off-road vehicles. These cash inflows are offset largely by cash paid primarily to our suppliers for production materials and parts used in our manufacturing process, operation expenses, employee compensation, and interest expenses of our financings. The major operating activities that provided cash for the first half of 2019 were an increase of share of loss after tax of the JV Company of $14,449,359. The major operating activity that used cash for first half of 2019 was an increase of accounts receivable of $16,560,338 (net of settlement of accounts receivables with notes receivable from unrelated parties of $ 8,859,211).

For the first half of 2019, cash derived from investing activities was $14,228,076, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $620,192 for the same period of last year. The major investing activities that provided cash for the first half of 2019 were an increase of advance receipts of equity transfer of $ 14,740,783. The major investing activities that used cash for first half of 2019 were $512,707 used for the purchases of property, plant and equipment.

For the first half of 2019, cash derived from financing activities was $1,474,078, as compared to cash used in financing activities of $5,804,126 for the same period of last year. The major financing activities that provided cash for the first half of 2019 were proceeds from short-term bank loans of $17,541,532. The major financing activities that used cash for first half of 2019 were $15,920,046 of repayment of short-term bank loans.

Working Capital

We had a working capital of $ 9,640,337 at June 30, 2019, which reflects an increase of $7,113,426 from a working capital of $2,526,911 as of December 31, 2018.

We have historically financed our operations through short-term commercial bank loans from Chinese banks. These loans typically have a one-year term, and upon the payment of all outstanding principals and interests on a particular loan, the banks will typically roll over the loans for an additional one-year term, with adjustments made to the interest rate to reflect prevailing market rates. This practice has been ongoing year after year. As such, we believe these short-term bank loans will be available under normal trade terms, if necessary.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company signed an agreement to sell 21.47% of its equity interests in the JV Company to Geely for a total amount of RMB 516 million (approximately $75.2 million). The Company received RMB 100 million (approximately $14.6 million) on April 11, 2019 and RMB 100 million (approximately $14.6 million) on July 12, 2019 from Geely, and the rest is expected to be collected before September 25, 2019. The Company plans to apply the proceeds from the equity transfer to its ongoing operations.

As of the date of this report, the JV Company has received a national subsidy payment of RMB 876 million (approximately $127.7 million). In connection with the transfer of the equity interests of the JV Company in the first half of 2019 as described above and elsewhere in this report, the JV Company is restructuring its management team. The new management team needs time for the transition. As it is out of our control as to when the new management team of the JV Company will finish the transition of work, we cannot predict the exact date of us receiving the amount due from the JV Company. However, based on its sufficient cash flow, the Company expects to receive the amount due from the JV Company within one year at the latest.

The working capital of the Company will be greatly improved after we receive the above payments.

Capital Requirements and Capital Provided

Capital requirements and capital provided for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were as follows:

The program is to be completed or expire by the end of the calendar year of 2019. The Company has engaged a securities firm to make a specific plan of repurchasing of our common stock.

As of the date of this report, the JV Company has received a national subsidy payment of RMB 876 million (approximately $127.7 million) for sales of EV, consisting of RMB 742.8 million (approximately $108.3 million) for pure EV sales during 2015 and 2016, and RMB 133.4 million (approximately $19.4 million) for partial EV sales in 2017.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

This item is not applicable to us.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have evaluated, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2019. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as 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.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Except as set forth in Note 22 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES under Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, our management is currently not aware of any legal matters or pending litigation that would have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operation of financial statements. Furthermore, the Company is not aware of any other legal matters in which any director, officer, or any owner of record or beneficial owner of more than five percent of any class of voting securities of the Company, or any affiliate of any such director, officer, affiliate of the Company, or security holder, is a party adverse to the Company or has a material adverse interest to the Company. For the detailed discussion of our legal proceedings, please refer to Note 22 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES under Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The unavailability, reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives or government policies which are favorable for electric vehicles and domestically produced vehicles could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.

Our growth depends significantly on the availability and amounts of government subsidies, economic incentives and government policies that support the growth of new energy vehicles generally and electric vehicles specifically.

On April 10, 2018, President Xi Jinping vowed to open China’s economy further and lower import tariffs on products, including cars, in a speech during the Boao Forum. Beginning July 1, 2018, the tariff on imported passenger vehicles (other than those originating in the United States of America) was reduced to 15%. As a result, our pricing advantage could be diminished. On June 28, 2018, the National Development and Reform Commission, or NDRC, and the Ministry of Commerce, or the MOFCOM, promulgated the Special Administrative Measures for Market Access of Foreign Investment, or the Negative List, which came into effect on July 28, 2018. Pursuant to the Negative List, the limits on foreign ownership of auto manufacturers were lifted in 2018 for new energy passenger vehicles (“NEVs”) and will be lifted by 2022 for internal combustion engine vehicles. As a result, foreign EV competitors could build wholly-owned facilities in China without the need for a domestic joint venture partner. For example, Tesla has started constructing a factory in Shanghai without a joint venture partner. These changes could increase our competition and reduce our pricing advantage.

China’s central government provides subsidies for purchasers of certain NEVs until 2020 and reviews and adjusts the subsidy standard on an annual basis. The current subsidy standard is provided for in the Circular on Further Improving the Subsidy Policies for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles, which was jointly promulgated by the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the NDRC in 2019. The current subsidy standard reduces the amount of national subsidies and cancels local subsidies, resulting in a significant reduction in the total subsidy amount as compared to 2018. Furthermore, China’s central government provides certain local governments with funds and subsidies to support the roll-out of a charging infrastructure. These policies are subject to change and beyond our control. We cannot assure you that any changes would be favorable to our business. Furthermore, any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of government subsidies and economic incentives because of policy changes, the reduced need for such subsidies and incentives due to the perceived success of electric vehicles, fiscal tightening or other factors may result in the diminished competitiveness of the alternative fuel vehicle industry generally or our electric vehicles in particular. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

LIQUIDITY

NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY

The Company had a working capital of $9,640,337 as of June 30, 2019, an increase of $7,113,426 from a working capital of $2,526,911 as of December 31, 2018.

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, especially the receivables due from the JV Company, because most of them are indirectly impacted by the progress of the receipt of government subsidies.

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. These loans typically have one year terms, and upon the payment of all outstanding principal and interest on a particular loan, the banks have typically rolled over the loan for an additional one-year term, with adjustments made to the interest rate to reflect prevailing market rates. This practice has been ongoing and the Company believes that short-term bank loans will remain available on normal trade terms if needed.

We finance our ongoing operating activities by using funds from our operations, external credit or financing arrangements. We routinely monitor current and expected operational requirements and financial market conditions to evaluate the use of available financing sources. Considering our existing working capital position and our ability to access debt funding sources, we believe that our operations and borrowing resources are sufficient to provide for our current and foreseeable capital requirements to support our ongoing operations for the next twelve months.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company signed an agreement to sell 21.47% of its equity interests in the JV Company to Geely for a total amount of RMB 516 million (approximately $75.2 million). The Company received RMB 100 million (approximately $14.6 million) on April 11, 2019 and RMB 100 million (approximately $14.6 million) on July 12, 2019 from Geely, and the rest is expected to be collected before September 25, 2019. The Company plans to apply the proceeds from the equity transfer to its ongoing operations.

As of the date of this report, the JV Company has received a national subsidy payment of RMB 876 million (approximately $127.7 million). In connection with the transfer of the equity interests of the JV Company in the first half of 2019 as described above and elsewhere in this report, the JV Company is restructuring its management team. The new management team needs time for the transition. As it is out of our control as to when the new management team of the JV Company will finish the transition of work, we cannot predict the exact date of us receiving the amount due from the JV Company. However, based on its sufficient cash flow, the Company expects to receive the amount due from the JV Company within one year at the latest.

The cash flow and operating capacity of the Company will be greatly improved after we receive the above payments.

USE OF ESTIMATES

NOTE 5 - USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2019

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 6 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Economic and Political Risks

The Company's operations are conducted in China. As a result, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in China, and by the general state of the Chinese 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 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 and foreign currency exchange restrictions. The Company's 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.

(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 for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, short-term bank loans, notes payable, and contingent consideration.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The estimated fair values of short-term bank loans were not materially different from their carrying value as presented due to the brief maturities and because the interest rates on these borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturities and risk profiles. As the carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of fair value, these financial instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company identified notes payable as Level 2 instruments due to the fact that the inputs to valuation are primarily based upon readily observable pricing information. As notes payable of the Company usually has maximum terms of six months, the Company assumes the carrying value of notes payable equals fair value. The balance of notes payable, which were measured and disclosed at fair value, was $20,258,972 and $12,787,619 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of Jinhua An Kao and SC Autosports, which is accounted for as liabilities, are measured at each reporting date for their fair value using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of contingent consideration was $6,619,000 and $7,256,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company's restricted cash was $1,573,992 and $6,690,870, respectively.

(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 basis of weighted average and comprises direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.

Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less selling expenses and any further costs expected to be incurred for completion. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to 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 for 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 exhaustive collection efforts. 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. If accounts receivable previously written off is recovered in a later period or when facts subsequently become available to indicate that the amount provided as an allowance for doubtful accounts was incorrect, an adjustment is made to restate allowance for doubtful accounts.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, credit terms with the Company's customers were typically 180 to 360 days after delivery. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had a $135,557 and $120,010 allowance for doubtful accounts, as per the Company management's judgment based on their best knowledge. The Company conducts quarterly assessments of the state of the Company's outstanding receivables and reserves any allowance for doubtful accounts if it becomes necessary.

(f) Amount due from the JV Company, net

Net amount due from the JV Company represent net trade receivable from the JV Company, loan lending to the JV Company as well as interest related to such loan. As of June 30, 2019, the Company's net amount due from the JV Company includes $58 million net trade receivable and $2 million loan interest. As of the date of this report, the JV Company has received a national subsidy payment of RMB 876 million (approximately $127.7 million). In connection with the transfer of the equity interests of the JV Company in the first half of 2019 as described above and elsewhere in this report, the JV Company is restructuring its management team. The new management team needs time for the transition. As it is out of our control as to when the new management team of the JV Company will finish the transition of work, we cannot predict the exact date of us receiving the amount due from the JV Company. However, based on its sufficient cash flow, the Company expects to receive the amount due from the JV Company within one year at the latest.

(g) Other Receivable

Other receivable represent receivables other than trade receivable, amount due from the JV Company, amount due from related party and notes receivable. As of June 30, 2019, the company's other receivable includes $5.2 million short-term loan lending to unrelated party with 6% annual interest rate, in order to maximize the use of idle cash.

(h) Notes receivable

Notes receivable represent short-term loans to third parties with maximum terms of six months. Interest income is recognized according to each agreement between a borrower and the Company on an accrual basis. For notes receivable with banks, the interest rates are determined by banks. For notes receivable with other parties, the interest rates are based on agreements between the parties. If notes receivable are paid back, that transaction will be recognized in the relevant year. If notes receivable are not paid back, or are written off, that transaction will be recognized in the relevant year if 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, the Company provides an accrual for the related foreclosure and litigation expenses. The Company also receives notes receivable from the JV Company and other parties to settle accounts receivable. If the Company decides to sell notes receivable at a discount for the purpose of receiving immediate cash, the current discount rate is approximately in the range of 3.50% to 4.50% annually. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had notes receivable from unrelated parties of $0 and $72,712, respectively, which notes receivable typically mature within six months. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had notes receivable from JV Company and other related parties of $1,456,537 and $3,861,032, respectively, which notes receivable typically mature within six months.

(i) Advances to Suppliers

Advances to suppliers represent cash paid in advance to suppliers, and include advances to raw material suppliers, mold manufacturers, and equipment suppliers.

Advances for raw material purchases are typically settled within two months of the Company's receipt of the raw materials. Prepayment is offset against the purchase price after the equipment or materials are delivered.

(j) Property, Plants and Equipment

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

Buildings	30 years
Machinery and equipment	10 years
Office equipment	5 years
Motor vehicles	5 years
Molds	5 years

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

(k) Construction in Progress

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

(l) Land Use Rights

Land in China is owned by the government and land ownership rights cannot be sold to an individual or to a private company. However, the Chinese government grants the user a "land use right" to use the land. The land use rights granted to the Company are amortized using the straight-line method over a fifty-year term.

(m) 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 disposal costs.

The Company recognized no impairment loss during the reporting period.

(n) Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers with a date of the initial application of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition. The impact of the adoption of ASC Topic 606 on the Company's consolidated financial statements is not material.

In determining when and how revenue is recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The Company generates revenue through sales of EV parts and off-road vehicles. The revenue is recognized at a point in time once the Company has determined that the customer has obtained control over the product. Control is typically deemed to have been transferred to the customer when the performance obligation is fulfilled, usually at the time of delivery, at the net sales price (transaction price). Estimates of variable consideration, such as volume discounts and rebates, are determined, reviewed and revised periodically by management. The amount of variable consideration recognize is limited and is not likely to be reversed. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Shipping and handling costs for product shipments occur prior to the customer obtaining control of the goods are accounted for as fulfillment costs rather than separate performance obligations and recorded as sales and marketing expenses.

The Company's contracts are predominantly short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC Topic 606 exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

Receivables are recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration.

See Note 23 "Segment Reporting" for disaggregation of revenue by reporting segments. The Company believes this disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

(o) Research and Development

Expenditures relating to the development of new products and processes, including improvements to existing products, are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses were $632,590 and $642,889 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, respectively. Research and development expenses were $1,170,023 and $1,400,187 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, respectively.

(p) Government Grants

Grants and subsidies received from the Chinese government are recognized when the proceeds are received or collectible and related milestones have been reached and all contingencies have been resolved.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, $175,319 and $15,558, respectively, were received by the Company's subsidiaries from the Chinese government. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, $223,043 and $110,813, respectively, were received by the Company's subsidiaries from the Chinese government.

(q) 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 Company management's best estimate of 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 will be uncertain.

(r) 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

	June 30,		December 31,		June 30,
	2019		2018		2018
Period end RMB : USD exchange rate		6.8656		6.8764		6.61905
Average RMB : USD exchange rate		6.7839		6.6146		6.3666

(s) 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.

(t) Segments

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

(u) Stock Option Expenses

The Company's stock option expenses are recorded in accordance with ASC 718.

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.

The recognition of stock option expenses is based on awards expected to vest. 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 expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, were $0 and $589,430. The stock-based option expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, were $0 and $1,586,926 net of a reversal for forfeited stock option of $2,644,877, respectively. See Note 18. There were no forfeitures estimated during the reporting period.

(v) Goodwill

The Company allocates goodwill from business combinations to reporting units based on the expectation that the reporting unit is 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.

Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgments, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and the 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 June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired.

(w) Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of patent, trade names and customer relations associated with the purchase price from the allocation of YongkangScrou and Jinhua An Kao. Such assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are amortized as of June 30, 2019. The amortization expenses for intangible assets were $157,967 and $167,563 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The amortization expenses for intangible assets were $ 317,470 and $335,588 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

(x) Accounting for Sale of Common Stock and Warrants

Gross proceeds are first allocated according to the initial fair value of the freestanding derivative instruments (i.e. the warrants issued to the Company's investors in its previous offerings, or the "Investor Warrants"). The remaining proceeds are allocated to common stock. The related issuance expenses, including the placement agent cash fees, legal fees, the initial fair value of the warrants issued to the placement agent and others were allocated between the common stock and the Investor Warrants based on how the proceeds are allocated to these instruments. Expenses related to the issuance of common stock were charged to paid-in capital. Expenses related to the issuance of derivative instruments were expensed upon issuance.

(y) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with accounting standards regarding consolidation of variable interest entities, or VIEs, VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.

The Company has concluded, based on the contractual arrangements, that Kandi New Energy is a VIE and that the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Kandi Vehicles, absorbs a majority of the risk of loss from the activities of this company, thereby enabling the Company, through Kandi Vehicles, to receive a majority of its expected residual returns.

Additionally, because Kandi New Energy is under common control with other entities, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the transactions had occurred retroactively as to the beginning of the reporting period of these consolidated financial statements.

Control and common control are defined under the accounting standards as "an individual, enterprise, or immediate family members who hold more than 50 percent of the voting ownership interest of each entity." Because the owners collectively own 100% of Kandi New Energy, and have agreed to vote their interests in concert since the establishment of each of these three companies as memorialized in the Voting Rights Proxy Agreement, the Company believes that the owners collectively have control and common control of Kandi New Energy. Accordingly, the Company believes that Kandi New Energy was constructively held under common control by Kandi Vehicles as of the time the contractual agreements were entered into, establishing Kandi Vehicles as their primary beneficiary. Kandi Vehicles, in turn, is owned by Continental, which is owned by the Company.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

NOTE 7 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or may be required to adopt in the future are summarized below:

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard on revenue recognition related to contracts with customers. This standard supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance and involves a five-step principles-based approach to recognizing revenue. The new model requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive. The new standard also require additional qualitative and quantitative about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments made in applying the revenue guidance, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The impact of adoption on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented is not material.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes." This ASU amends existing guidance to require that deferred income tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a classified balance sheet, and eliminates the prior guidance which required an entity to separate deferred tax assets and liabilities into a current amount and a non-current amount in a classified balance sheet. The Company adopted this standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2018. The impact of adoption on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented is not material.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, together with subsequent Accounting Standards Updates collectively known as the "leases standard" or "ASC 842". ASC 842 requires a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. All leases create an asset and a liability for the lessee in accordance with FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements. Effective January 1, 2019, we have adopted the new standard using the effective date approach. We elected to adopt both the transition relief provided in ASU 2018-11 and the package of practical expedients which allowed us, among other things, to retain historical lease classifications and accounting for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard. Additionally, we elected the practical expedients allowing us not to separate lease and non-lease components and not record leases with an initial term of twelve months or less ("short-term leases") on the balance sheet across all existing asset classes.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities of $140,000 as of January 1, 2019, which primarily relates to our corporate office leases for SC Autosports. The standard did not materially impact our condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. Adopting the new standard did not have a material impact on the accounting for leases under which we are the lessee.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13," Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", to require financial assets carried at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected based on historical experience, current conditions and forecasts. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of lease accounting standards. The ASUs are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the ASUs is modified retrospective. We are currently obtaining an understanding of the ASUs and plan to adopt them on January 1, 2020.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers Other than Inventory, which requires companies to recognize the income-tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than when the asset has been sold to an outside party. The Company adopted this standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2018. The impact of adoption on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented is not material.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash," ("ASU 2016-18"). This ASU requires a statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2018. The impact of adoption on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented is not material.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which revises the definition of a business and provides new guidance in evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The Company adopted this standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2018. The impact of adoption on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented is not material.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 (Topic 350) Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This ASU will be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2018, the FASB released ASU 2018-2, "Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This standard update addresses a specific consequence of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("U.S. tax reform") and allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the stranded tax effects resulting from U.S. tax reform. Consequently, the update eliminates the stranded tax effects that were created as a result of the historical U.S. federal corporate income tax rate to the newly enacted U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. The Company is required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company has finished the evaluation and determined there is no impact of on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 In June, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, as part of its ongoing Simplification Initiative. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions where the grantor is acquiring goods or services being used or consumed in its own operations by issuing these awards. They do not apply to share-based payments that are used to effectively provide financing for the grantor/issuer or that are granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract which should be accounted for under Topic 606. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted as long as the adoption is not earlier than the adoption of Topic 606. The Company has evaluated the transactions and determined there is no impact of on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements because the Company expenses the non-employee Share-Based payment in the same period and in the same manner that a cash-based payment would be.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements under ASC 820. This ASU is to be applied on a prospective basis for certain modified or new disclosure requirements, and all other amendments in the standard are to be applied on a retrospective basis. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE

NOTE 9 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants (using treasury stock method). For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 3,900,000 and 3,900,000 potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of dilutive earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 3,900,000 and 3,900,000 potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of dilutive earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

The following is the calculation of earnings per share for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

NOTES PAYABLE

NOTE 16 - NOTES PAYABLE

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

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 note specifies the amount of the funds, 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. $1,323,992 and $6,440,870 were held as collateral for the notes payable as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

As is common business practice in the PRC, the Company issues notes payable to its suppliers as settlement for accounts payable.

The Company’s notes payable also include the borrowing from the third party.

TAXES

NOTE 17 - 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 25%. However, Kandi Vehicles and Jinhua Ankao qualify as High and New Technology Enterprise ("HNTE") companies in the PRC, and are entitled to pay a reduced income tax rate of 15% for the years presented. A HNTE Certificate is valid for three years. An entity may re-apply for an HNTE certificate when the prior certificate expires. Historically, Kandi Vehicles has successfully re-applied for such certificates when the its prior certificates expired. Jinhua Ankao qualify as HNTE since 2018. Therefore no records for renewal are available. The applicable CIT rate of each of the Company's three other subsidiaries, Kandi New Energy, Yongkang Scrou and Kandi Hainan, the JV Company and its subsidiaries is 25%.

Our tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment. For 2019, we estimate that our effective tax rate will be favorably affected by non-taxable income such as the share of income of the JV Company and the gain from the change of fair value of contingent liabilities and certain research and development super-deduction and adversely affected by non-deductible expenses such as part of entertainment expenses. We record valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets associated with losses for which we may not realize a related tax benefit. After combining research and development tax credits of 25% on certain qualified research and development expenses, the Company's effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018 were a tax benefit of 6.02% on a reported loss before taxes of approximately $12.5 million, and an effective income tax rate with a tax expense of 2.59% for the same period of last year on a reported income before taxes of approximately $5.2 million, respectively.

Our quarterly tax provision, and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, is subject to significant variation due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax and taxable income and loss, acquisitions (including integrations) and investments, changes in our stock price, changes in our 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, our effective tax rate can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income or loss. Our income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was tax benefit of $751,193 and tax expense of $135,645, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the guidance in ASC 740 relating to uncertain tax positions. The guidance 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 December 31, 2018, 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 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 the PRC. As of June 30, 2019, 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. As of June 30, 2019 the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The aggregate NOLs in 2018 was $28.1 million and the aggregate NOLs in 2017 was $22.7 million deriving from entities in the PRC, Hong Kong and US. The NOLs will start to expire from 2021 if they are not used. The cumulative net operating loss in the PRC can be carried forward for five years, to offset future net profits for income tax purposes. The cumulative net operating loss Pre-2018 in the U.S. can be carried forward for twenty years. The cumulative net operating loss in Hong Kong can be carried forward without an expiration date.

(b) Tax Holiday Effect

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the PRC CIT rate was 25%. Certain subsidiaries of the Company are entitled to tax exemptions (tax holidays) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

The combined effects of income tax expense exemptions and reductions available to the Company for the six months June 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,

Tax benefit (holiday) credit	$	169,810	$	38,861
Basic net income per share effect	$	0.000	$	0.000

(c) The Tax Cuts and Job Act

On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company's accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in its financial statements. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in its financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Tax Act.

In connection with our initial analysis of the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "TCJA") Tax Act, we recorded provisional estimates related to the re-measurement of deferred taxes and the Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax in our financial statements for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The measurement period ended on December 22, 2018. As of December 22, 2018, we have completed the accounting for the impact of the Tax Act based on the guidance, interpretations, and data available. No adjustments to these provisional estimates have been recorded.

Under TCJA, Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (" GILTI ") tax rules the Company must make an accounting policy election to either (1) recognize taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the "period cost method") or (2) factor such amount into the Company's measure of its deferred taxes (the "deferred method"). The Company elected to treat the GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred.

Summarized Information of Equity Method Investment in the JV Company [Abstract]

SUMMARIZED INFORMATION OF EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT IN THE JV COMPANY

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 in such investees, 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 in such investees, 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.

On March 21, 2019, Kandi Vehicle signed an Equity Transfer Agreement with Geely Technologies Group Co., Ltd. to transfer certain equity interests in the JV Company to Geely. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the JV Company converted a loan of RMB 314 million (approximately $46.7 million) from Geely Group last year to equity in order to increase its cash flow. As a result, the registered capital of the JV Company became RMB 2.44 billion (approximately $363.2 million), of which Kandi Vehicles owned 43.47% and Geely owned 56.53%, respectively, upon the conversion of the loan into equity in the JV Company (the "March JV Loan to Equity Conversion"). Kandi Vehicles further agree to sell 21.47% of its equity interests in the JV Company to Geely for a total amount of RMB 516 million (approximately $76.9 million) (the "JV Equity Transfer"). Kandi Vehicles shall own 22% of the equity interests of the JV Company as a result of the transfer. As of June 30, 2019, the equity transfer has not been completed yet. Therefore, in the first half of 2019, the Company has not recognized the gain from equity sale.

As of June 30, 2019, the JV Company consolidated its interests in the following entities on its financial statements: (1) its 100% interest in Kandi Changxing; (2) its 100% interest in Zhejiang Chang Dian and each of its two direct wholly-owned subsidiaries, Chang Dian Tonglu and Jiangsu Gu Xiang; (3) its 100% interest in Kandi Shanghai; (4) its 100% interest in Kandi Jiangsu and each of its four direct wholly-owned subsidiaries, i.e., JiHeKang, JiHeKang Service Company, Liuchuang and KandiJinhua; and (5) 100% interest in each of the directly wholly-owned subsidiaries of JiHeKang, i.e., Tianjin BoHaiWan, Jiangsu JiDian and Guangdong JiHeKang. The Company accounted for its investments in the JV Company under the equity method of accounting. Since the March JV Loan to Equity Conversion was completed at the very end of the first quarter, the Company still recorded 50% of the JV Company's loss for the first quarter of 2019. Starting from the second quarter of the 2019, since our equity interests in the JV Company have been reduced to 43.47%, the Company recorded 43.47% of the JV Company's loss for the second quarter of 2019. As a result, the Company's consolidated net income for three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 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:

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, the JV Company's revenues were derived primarily from the sales of EV products and EV parts in China. Because the Company has a 43.47% ownership interest in the JV Company as of June 30, 2019 and 50% as of June 30, 2018 and accounted for its investments in the JV Company under the equity method of accounting, the Company did not consolidate the JV Company's financial results, but instead 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 based investment in the JV Company.

The Company's equity method investments in the JV Company for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

Represents the rounded result of dividing RMB1,045 million (the Company's ownership interest in the JV Company) by RMB2,404 million (the JV Company's total equity interest). We used the actual result and kept full decimals when calculating the Company's share in net (loss) income of the JV Company.

The gain from equity dilution for six months ended, June 30, 2019 resulted from the JV Company issuing shares to the JV partner, Greely, in exchange for extinguishment of a loan from Greely, resulting in dilution of equity ownership of the Company from 50% to 43.47%. This dilutive transaction was treated as if the Company sold a proportional share of its investment in the JV Company.

Sales to the Company's customers, the JV Company and its subsidiaries, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, were $4,089,534 or 16.9% of the Company's total revenue, a decrease of 13.7% from $4,740,751 of the same quarter last year. Sales to the Company's customers, the JV Company and its subsidiaries, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, were $5,823,031 or 13.8% of the Company's total revenue, a decrease of 20.7% from $7,344,195 of the same quarter last year. Sales to the JV Company and its subsidiaries were primarily of battery packs, body parts, EV drive motors, EV controllers, air conditioning units and other auto parts.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the current and noncurrent amount due from the JV Company and its subsidiaries, was $61,029,110 and $67,801,735, respectively. The breakdown is as below:

On March 15, 2013, the Company entered into a guarantee contract to serve as the guarantor of Nanlong Group Co., Ltd. (“NGCL”) for NGCL’s $2,913,074 (RMB 20 million) loan from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Jinhua Branch, with a related loan period of March 15, 2013, to March 15, 2016. NGCL is not related to the Company. Under this guarantee contract, the Company agreed to assume joint liability as the loan guarantor. In April 2017, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank filed a lawsuit against NGCL, the Company and ten other parties in Zhejiang Province People’s Court in Yongkang City, alleging NGCL defaulted on a bank loan borrowed from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank for a principal amount of approximately $2.9 million and demanded that the guarantor bear the liability for compensation. On May 27, 2017, a judicial mediation took place in Yongkang City and parties reached a settlement in mediation, in which the plaintiff agreed NGCL would repay the loan principal and interest in installments. So long as NGCL repays the principal and interest according to the agreement, the plaintiff will not ask the Company for recovery. As of June 30, 2019, the Company expects the likelihood of incurring losses in connection with this matter to be remote.

On September 29, 2015, the Company entered into a guarantee contract to serve as the guarantor of Zhejiang Shuguang Industrial Co., Ltd. (“ZSICL”) for a bank loan in the amount of $4,223,957 (RMB 29 million) from Ping An Bank, with a related loan period of September 29, 2015, to September 28, 2016. ZSICL is not related to the Company. Under this guarantee contract, the Company agreed to perform all the obligations of ZSICL under the loan contract if ZSICL failed to perform its obligations as set forth therein. In August 2016, Ping An Bank Yiwu Branch (“Ping An Bank”) filed a lawsuit against ZSICL, the Company, and three other parties in Zhejiang Province People’s Court in Yiwu City, alleging ZSICL defaulted on a bank loan it had borrowed from Pin An Bank for a principal amount of RMB 29 million or approximately $4.2 million (the “Principal”), for which the Company was a guarantor along with other three parties. On December 25, 2016, the court ruled that ZSICL should repay Ping An Bank the principal and associated interest remaining on the bank loan within 10 days once the adjudication was effective. Additionally, the court found that the Company and the three other parties, acting as guarantors, have joint liability for this bank loan. On July 31, 2017, the Company and Ping An Bank reached an agreement to settle. According to the agreement, the Company was to pay Ping An Bank RMB 20 million or approximately $3.0 million in four installments before October 31, 2017 to release the Company from its guarantor liability for this default. As of October 31, 2017, the Company has paid all four installments totaling RMB 20 million or approximately $3.0 million to Ping An Bank and thus the Company has been released from its guarantor liability for this default. According to the Company’s agreement with ZSICL, ZSICL agreed to reimburse all the Company’s losses due to ZSICL’s default on the loan principal and interests, of which RMB 11.9 million has been reimbursed to the Company as of the date of this report and the remainder is expected to be reimbursed in installments within next two years. The Company expects the likelihood of incurring losses in connection with this matter to be low.

On August 29, 2018, the Company entered into a guarantee contract to serve as the guarantor for the JV Company for bank acceptance notes in the aggregate amount of $3,058,728 (RMB 21 million) from Bank of China, with a related period of August 29, 2018 to February 29, 2019, and which were paid off on February 29, 2019. Under this guarantee contract, the Company agreed to perform all the obligations of the JV Company under the loan contract if the JV Company fails to perform its obligations as set forth therein.

On August 30, 2018, the Company entered into a guarantee contract to serve as the guarantor for Kandi Jiangsu for bank loans in the aggregate amount of $7,282,685 (RMB 50 million) from China Merchants Bank Nantong branch, with a related loan period of August 31, 2018 to February 28, 2019, and was paid off on February 1, 2019. On February 1, 2019, the loan was renewed with a term of February 1, 2019 to July 31, 2019 and was paid off on July 31, 2019. Under this guarantee contract, the Company agreed to perform all the obligations of the JV Company under the contract if the Kandi Jiangsu fails to perform its obligations as set forth therein.

On September 3, 2018, the Company entered into a guarantee contract to serve as the guarantor for the JV Company for bank acceptance notes in the aggregate amount of $4,223,957 (RMB 29 million) from Bank of China, with a related period of September 3, 2018 to March 3, 2019 and was paid off on March 3, 2019.

(2) Pledged collateral for bank loans to other parties.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, none of the Company’s land use rights or plants and equipment were pledged as collateral securing bank loans to other parties.

Litigation

Beginning in March 2017, putative shareholder class actions were filed against the Company 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 the Company’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 seek damages on behalf of putative classes of shareholders who purchased or acquired Kandi’s securities prior to March 13, 2017. All the remaining cases are in the New York federal court, and lead plaintiff and lead counsel have been appointed. Kandi has moved to dismiss the remaining cases and that 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 the Company 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 the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery. A motion to dismiss this derivative action was filed in May 2019 and remains pending.

Separately, in connection with allegations of misconduct identified in pre-suit demands made by putative shareholders of Kandi, Kandi formed a Special Litigation Committee (“SLC”) and retained a Delaware law firm as the 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, investigation remains ongoing.

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.

Note 24 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Considering Kandi Jiangsu would receive the pure electric vehicle manufacturer license, there is no need to use the manufacturer license held by Geely Automobile Shanghai Branch anymore; Considering that the cost of production in Shanghai is higher than that in other regions, the JV Company decided to transfer all of the equity interests of Kandi Shanghai to Zhejiang Yiting Holding Co., Ltd. in accordance with the net asset value of approximately RMB579 million (approximately $84 million). Both parties entered into such equity transfer agreement in early July 2019. The completion of the payment of the equity transfer consideration is expected to occur within one year.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2019

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Economic and Political Risks

(a) Economic and Political Risks

The Company's operations are conducted in China. As a result, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in China, and by the general state of the Chinese 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 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 and foreign currency exchange restrictions. The Company's 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

(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 for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, short-term bank loans, notes payable, and contingent consideration.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The estimated fair values of short-term bank loans were not materially different from their carrying value as presented due to the brief maturities and because the interest rates on these borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturities and risk profiles. As the carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of fair value, these financial instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company identified notes payable as Level 2 instruments due to the fact that the inputs to valuation are primarily based upon readily observable pricing information. As notes payable of the Company usually has maximum terms of six months, the Company assumes the carrying value of notes payable equals fair value. The balance of notes payable, which were measured and disclosed at fair value, was $20,258,972 and $12,787,619 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of Jinhua An Kao and SC Autosports, which is accounted for as liabilities, are measured at each reporting date for their fair value using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of contingent consideration was $6,619,000 and $7,256,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company's restricted cash was $1,573,992 and $6,690,870, respectively.

Inventories

(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 basis of weighted average and comprises direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.

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

Accounts Receivable

(e) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for 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 exhaustive collection efforts. 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. If accounts receivable previously written off is recovered in a later period or when facts subsequently become available to indicate that the amount provided as an allowance for doubtful accounts was incorrect, an adjustment is made to restate allowance for doubtful accounts.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, credit terms with the Company's customers were typically 180 to 360 days after delivery. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had a $135,557 and $120,010 allowance for doubtful accounts, as per the Company management's judgment based on their best knowledge. The Company conducts quarterly assessments of the state of the Company's outstanding receivables and reserves any allowance for doubtful accounts if it becomes necessary.

Amount due from the JV Company, net

(f) Amount due from the JV Company, net

Net amount due from the JV Company represent net trade receivable from the JV Company, loan lending to the JV Company as well as interest related to such loan. As of June 30, 2019, the Company's net amount due from the JV Company includes $58 million net trade receivable and $2 million loan interest. As of the date of this report, the JV Company has received a national subsidy payment of RMB 876 million (approximately $127.7 million). In connection with the transfer of the equity interests of the JV Company in the first half of 2019 as described above and elsewhere in this report, the JV Company is restructuring its management team. The new management team needs time for the transition. As it is out of our control as to when the new management team of the JV Company will finish the transition of work, we cannot predict the exact date of us receiving the amount due from the JV Company. However, based on its sufficient cash flow, the Company expects to receive the amount due from the JV Company within one year at the latest.

Other Receivable

(g) Other Receivable

Other receivable represent receivables other than trade receivable, amount due from the JV Company, amount due from related party and notes receivable. As of June 30, 2019, the company's other receivable includes $5.2 million short-term loan lending to unrelated party with 6% annual interest rate, in order to maximize the use of idle cash.

Notes receivable

(h) Notes receivable

Notes receivable represent short-term loans to third parties with maximum terms of six months. Interest income is recognized according to each agreement between a borrower and the Company on an accrual basis. For notes receivable with banks, the interest rates are determined by banks. For notes receivable with other parties, the interest rates are based on agreements between the parties. If notes receivable are paid back, that transaction will be recognized in the relevant year. If notes receivable are not paid back, or are written off, that transaction will be recognized in the relevant year if 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, the Company provides an accrual for the related foreclosure and litigation expenses. The Company also receives notes receivable from the JV Company and other parties to settle accounts receivable. If the Company decides to sell notes receivable at a discount for the purpose of receiving immediate cash, the current discount rate is approximately in the range of 3.50% to 4.50% annually. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had notes receivable from unrelated parties of $0 and $72,712, respectively, which notes receivable typically mature within six months. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had notes receivable from JV Company and other related parties of $1,456,537 and $3,861,032, respectively, which notes receivable typically mature within six months.

Advances to Suppliers

(i) Advances to Suppliers

Advances to suppliers represent cash paid in advance to suppliers, and include advances to raw material suppliers, mold manufacturers, and equipment suppliers.

Advances for raw material purchases are typically settled within two months of the Company's receipt of the raw materials. Prepayment is offset against the purchase price after the equipment or materials are delivered.

Property, Plants and Equipment

(j) Property, Plants and Equipment

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

Buildings	30 years
Machinery and equipment	10 years
Office equipment	5 years
Motor vehicles	5 years
Molds	5 years

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

Construction in Progress

(k) Construction in Progress

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

Land Use Rights

(l) Land Use Rights

Land in China is owned by the government and land ownership rights cannot be sold to an individual or to a private company. However, the Chinese government grants the user a "land use right" to use the land. The land use rights granted to the Company are amortized using the straight-line method over a fifty-year term.

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

(m) 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 disposal costs.

The Company recognized no impairment loss during the reporting period.

Revenue Recognition

(n) Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers with a date of the initial application of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition. The impact of the adoption of ASC Topic 606 on the Company's consolidated financial statements is not material.

In determining when and how revenue is recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The Company generates revenue through sales of EV parts and off-road vehicles. The revenue is recognized at a point in time once the Company has determined that the customer has obtained control over the product. Control is typically deemed to have been transferred to the customer when the performance obligation is fulfilled, usually at the time of delivery, at the net sales price (transaction price). Estimates of variable consideration, such as volume discounts and rebates, are determined, reviewed and revised periodically by management. The amount of variable consideration recognize is limited and is not likely to be reversed. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Shipping and handling costs for product shipments occur prior to the customer obtaining control of the goods are accounted for as fulfillment costs rather than separate performance obligations and recorded as sales and marketing expenses.

The Company's contracts are predominantly short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC Topic 606 exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

Receivables are recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration.

See Note 23 "Segment Reporting" for disaggregation of revenue by reporting segments. The Company believes this disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Research and Development

(o) Research and Development

Expenditures relating to the development of new products and processes, including improvements to existing products, are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses were $632,590 and $642,889 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, respectively. Research and development expenses were $1,170,023 and $1,400,187 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, respectively.

Government Grants

(p) Government Grants

Grants and subsidies received from the Chinese government are recognized when the proceeds are received or collectible and related milestones have been reached and all contingencies have been resolved.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, $175,319 and $15,558, respectively, were received by the Company's subsidiaries from the Chinese government. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, $223,043 and $110,813, respectively, were received by the Company's subsidiaries from the Chinese government.

Income Taxes

(q) 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 Company management's best estimate of 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 will be uncertain.

Foreign Currency Translation

(r) 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

	June 30,		December 31,		June 30,
	2019		2018		2018
Period end RMB : USD exchange rate		6.8656		6.8764		6.61905
Average RMB : USD exchange rate		6.7839		6.6146		6.3666

Comprehensive Income

(s) 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.

Segments

(t) Segments

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

Stock Option Expenses

(u) Stock Option Expenses

The Company's stock option expenses are recorded in accordance with ASC 718.

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.

The recognition of stock option expenses is based on awards expected to vest. 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 expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, were $0 and $589,430. The stock-based option expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, were $0 and $1,586,926 net of a reversal for forfeited stock option of $2,644,877, respectively. See Note 18. There were no forfeitures estimated during the reporting period.

Goodwill

(v) Goodwill

The Company allocates goodwill from business combinations to reporting units based on the expectation that the reporting unit is 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.

Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgments, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and the 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 June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired.

Intangible assets

(w) Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of patent, trade names and customer relations associated with the purchase price from the allocation of YongkangScrou and Jinhua An Kao. Such assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are amortized as of June 30, 2019. The amortization expenses for intangible assets were $157,967 and $167,563 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The amortization expenses for intangible assets were $ 317,470 and $335,588 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

Accounting for Sale of Common Stock and Warrants

(x) Accounting for Sale of Common Stock and Warrants

Gross proceeds are first allocated according to the initial fair value of the freestanding derivative instruments (i.e. the warrants issued to the Company's investors in its previous offerings, or the "Investor Warrants"). The remaining proceeds are allocated to common stock. The related issuance expenses, including the placement agent cash fees, legal fees, the initial fair value of the warrants issued to the placement agent and others were allocated between the common stock and the Investor Warrants based on how the proceeds are allocated to these instruments. Expenses related to the issuance of common stock were charged to paid-in capital. Expenses related to the issuance of derivative instruments were expensed upon issuance.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

(y) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with accounting standards regarding consolidation of variable interest entities, or VIEs, VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.

The Company has concluded, based on the contractual arrangements, that Kandi New Energy is a VIE and that the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Kandi Vehicles, absorbs a majority of the risk of loss from the activities of this company, thereby enabling the Company, through Kandi Vehicles, to receive a majority of its expected residual returns.

Additionally, because Kandi New Energy is under common control with other entities, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the transactions had occurred retroactively as to the beginning of the reporting period of these consolidated financial statements.

Control and common control are defined under the accounting standards as "an individual, enterprise, or immediate family members who hold more than 50 percent of the voting ownership interest of each entity." Because the owners collectively own 100% of Kandi New Energy, and have agreed to vote their interests in concert since the establishment of each of these three companies as memorialized in the Voting Rights Proxy Agreement, the Company believes that the owners collectively have control and common control of Kandi New Energy. Accordingly, the Company believes that Kandi New Energy was constructively held under common control by Kandi Vehicles as of the time the contractual agreements were entered into, establishing Kandi Vehicles as their primary beneficiary. Kandi Vehicles, in turn, is owned by Continental, which is owned by the Company.
