NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

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

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

The Company’s organizational chart is as follows:

Operating Subsidiaries:

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

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

As a part of our EV business strategy, we believe we need more production resources to timely and efficiently satisfy the market demands. In March 2013, pursuant to a joint venture agreement (the “JV Agreement”) entered into by and between Kandi Vehicles and Shanghai Maple Guorun Automobile Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Guorun”), a 99%-owned subsidiary of Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. (“Geely”), the parties established Zhejiang Kandi Electric Vehicles Co., Ltd. (the “JV Company”) to develop, manufacture and sell EVs and related auto parts, and to invest in other companies with related or similar business. Each of Kandi Vehicles and Shanghai Guorun has a 50% ownership interest in the JV Company. In March 2014, the JV Company changed its name to Kandi Electric Vehicles Group Co., Ltd. At present, the JV Company is a holding company with products that are manufactured by its subsidiaries.

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

In April 2013, Kandi Electric Vehicles (Wanning) Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Wanning”) was formed in Wanning City of Hainan Province by Kandi Vehicles and Kandi New Energy. Kandi Vehicles has a 90% ownership in Kandi Wanning, and Kandi New Energy has the remaining 10% interest. However, by contract, Kandi Vehicles is, effectively, entitled to 100% of the economic benefits, voting rights and residual interests (100% profits and losses) of Kandi Wanning. According to the JV Agreement, once Kandi Wanning becomes fully operational, its entire equity interests will be transferred to the JV Company..

In July 2013, Zhejiang ZuoZhongYou Electric Vehicle Service Co., Ltd. (the “Service Company”) was formed. The Service Company is engaged in various pure EV leasing businesses. The JV Company has a 19% ownership interest in the Service Company. The Company, indirectly through its 50% ownership interest in the JV Company, has a 9.5% economic interest in the Service Company.

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

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

In December 2013, the JV Company entered into an ownership transfer agreement with Shanghai Guorun pursuant to which the JV Company acquired 100% ownership of Kandi Electric Vehicles (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Shanghai”). As a result, Kandi Shanghai is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the JV Company, and the Company, indirectly through its 50% ownership interest in the JV Company, has a 50% economic interest in Kandi Shanghai. Kandi Shanghai is mainly engaged in EV research and development, manufacturing and sales.

In January 2014, Zhejiang Kandi Electric Vehicles Jiangsu Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Jiangsu”) was formed by the JV Company. The JV Company has 100% ownership interest in Kandi Jiangsu, and the Company, indirectly through its 50% ownership interest in the JV Company, has a 50% economic interest in Kandi Jiangsu. Kandi Jiangsu is mainly engaged in EV research and development, manufacturing and sales.

The Company’s primary business operations are the design, development, manufacturing and commercialization of EV products, EV parts, and off-road vehicles. As part of its strategic objective to become a leading manufacturer of EV products and related services, the Company has increased its focus on fuel efficient, pure EV products with a particular emphasis on expanding its market share in China.

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY

The Company had a working capital surplus of $40,921,969 as of March 31, 2015, an increase of $1,719,285 from $39,202,684 as of December 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had credit lines from commercial banks of $42,073,678, all of which was used as of March 31, 2015. The Company believes that its cash flows generated internally may not be sufficient to support the growth of future operations and to repay short-term bank loans for the next twelve (12) months. However, the Company believes its cash reserves, including the proceeds of its $71 million registered direct offering financing completed on September 4, 2014, and its access to existing financing sources, including established relationships with PRC banks, will enable it to fund its ongoing operations.

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

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

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

NOTE 3 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements and notes are representations of management. Accounting policies adopted by the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements.

The financial information included herein for the three-month ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for these interim periods.

The results of operations for the three-month ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.

NOTE 5 – USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 the PRC. As a result, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy. In addition, the Company’s earnings are subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the Company’s functional currency. Accordingly, the Company’s operating results are affected by changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the RMB.

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

(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

These tiers include:

Level 1—defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2—defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3—defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s assets, measured at fair value, on a recurring basis, subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820, were as follows:

		Fair Value Measurements
		at Reporting Date Using			Significant
		Quoted Prices in Carrying		Active Markets	Other	Significant
		Value as of		for Identical	Observable	Unobservable
		March 31,		Assets	Inputs	Inputs
		2015		(Level 1)	(Level 2)	(Level 3)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	15,635,658	$	15,635,658	-	-
Restricted cash		25,454,249		25,454,249	-	-
Warrants	$	7,592,585		-	-	7,592,585

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

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

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Restricted cash, as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, represented time deposits on account, some of which were used to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable. As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s restricted cash was $25,454,249.

(d) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (market value). The cost of raw materials is determined on the basis of weighted average. The cost of finished goods is determined on the weighted average basis and comprises direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.

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

(e) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in periods in which the Company determines a loss is probable, based on its assessment of specific factors, such as troubled collections, historical experience, accounts aging, ongoing business relations and other factors. Accounts are written off after an exhaustive collection effort. If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within the operating expenses line item. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts, as per the management’s judgment based on their best knowledge.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the credit terms with the Company’s customers were typically 90 to 120 days after delivery.

(f) Notes receivable

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

(g) Prepayments

Prepayments represent cash paid in advance to suppliers, which also includes advances to raw material suppliers, mold manufacturers, and suppliers of equipment.

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

(h) Plant and Equipment

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

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

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

(i) Construction in Progress

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

(j) Land Use Rights

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

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

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

During the reporting period, no impairment loss was recognized.

(l) Revenue Recognition

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

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

The Company recognized revenue when the products and the risk they carry are transferred to the other party.

(m) Research and Development

Expenditures relating to the development of new products and processes, including significant improvements to existing products, are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses were $571,020 and $1,172,257 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(n) Government Grants

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, no government grants were received by Kandi Vehicle from the PRC government.

(o) Income Taxes

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

(p) Foreign Currency Translation

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

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

	March 31,	December 31,	March 31,
	2015	2014	2014

Period end RMB : USD exchange rate	6.1321	6.1535	6.1644
Average RMB : USD exchange rate	6.1529	6.14821	6.1199

(q) Comprehensive Income

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

(r) Segments

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

(s) Stock Option Expenses

The Company’s stock option expenses are recorded in accordance with ASC 718 and ASC 505.

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

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

The stock-based option expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $0. See Note 20.

(t) Warrant Costs

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

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

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

(u) Goodwill

The Company allocates goodwill 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 March 31, 2015, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired.

(v) Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of tradenames and customer relations associated with the purchase price from the allocation of Yongkang Scrou. Such assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 9.7 years. Intangible assets are amortized as of March 31, 2015.

(w) Accounting for Sale of Common Stock and Warrants

Gross proceeds are firstly 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.

NOTE 7 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-01 about Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. The objective is to reduce the cost and complexity of income statement presentation by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements. The extraordinary items must met two criteria’s: unusual nature and infrequency of occurrence. If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, an entity is required to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The entity also is required to disclose applicable income taxes and either. This amendment will be effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Board decided to permit early adoption provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2015-03 about Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The objective is to require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued.

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2015-05 about Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. The objective is to provide a guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendment will not change GAAP for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. In addition, the guidance in this Update supersedes paragraph 350-40-25-16. Consequently, all software licenses within the scope of Subtopic 350-40 will be accounted for consistent with other licenses of intangible assets. For public business entities, the Board decided that the amendments will be effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. For all other entities, the amendment will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for all entities.

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2015-06 about Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, which contains guidance that addresses master limited partnerships that originated from Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 07-4. This amendment in this Update specify that for purposes of calculating historical earnings per unit under the two-class method, the earnings (losses) of a transferred business before the date of a dropdown transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner. In that circumstance, the previously reported earnings per unit of the limited partners (which is typically the earnings per unit measure presented in the financial statements) would not change as a result of the dropdown transaction. Qualitative disclosures about how the rights to the earnings (losses) differ before and after the dropdown transaction occurs for purposes of computing earnings per unit under the two-class method also are required. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted.

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2015-07 about Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, which permits a reporting entity, as a practical expedient, to measure the fair value of certain investments using the net asset value per share of the investment. The amendments in this Update remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. The amendments in this Update apply to reporting entities that elect to measure the fair value of an investment within the related scope by using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 15 - CONSTRUCTION-IN-PROGRESS

Construction-in-progress (“CIP”) relates to facility being built in Wanning City of Hainan Province.

Kandi Wanning facility

In April 2013, Kandi Electric Vehicles (Wanning) Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Wanning”) was formed in Wanning City of Hainan Province. The Company signed an agreement with Wanning city government and planned to invest a total of RMB 1 billion, or $163,076,271, to develop a factory in Wanning with an annual production of 100,000 EVs. In 2013, the Company contracted with an unrelated third party equipment supplier, Nanjing Shangtong Auto Technologies Co., Ltd. (“Nanjing Shangtong”), to purchase equipment. The equipment was purchased and delivered according to the construction schedule and development of Kandi Wanning. As of March 31, 2015, a total amount of advances to suppliers of RMB 353,000,000, or $57,565,924, made by Kandi Wanning to Nanjing Shangtong for equipment purchases was transferred to CIP. None of CIP was transferred to property, plant and equipment till March 31, 2015. The Company expects the purchase and installation of the equipment will be completed the end of 2015.

No depreciation is provided for CIP until such time when the assets are completed and placed into operation.

The construction project the Company was in the progress of completing is as follow:

		Total in CIP as of
Project		March 31, 2015		Estimated Cost to Complete		Estimated Total Cost	Estimated Completion Date

NOTE 17 – NOTES PAYABLE

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

Notes payable are summarized as follows:

		March 31, 2015	December 31, 2014
Bank acceptance notes:
Due April 30, 2015	$	4,076,907	4,062,729
Due May 4, 2015		829,732	826,847
Due June 2, 2015		815,381	812,545
Due July 8, 2015		3,587,678
Due July 21, 2015		815,381
Due July 23, 2015		1,630,763
Due July 30, 2015		652,305
	$	12,408,147	5,702,121

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

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

All of the bank acceptance notes do not bear interest, but are subject to bank charges of 0.05% of the principal as a commission on each transaction. Bank charges for notes payable were both $3,332 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

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

NOTE 18 – BOND PAYABLE

NOTE 19 – TAXES

(a) Corporation Income Tax

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

The Company, qualified as a high technology company in China, was entitled to pay a reduced CIT rate of 15%. After combining with the research and development tax credit of 25% on certain qualified research and development expenses, the final effective reduced income tax rate was 15.67% . The combined tax benefits were 44.00% . The actual effective income tax rate was reduced from 25% to 14% in the first quarter of 2015.

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

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

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 March 31, 2015, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files income tax returns to the U.S. Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) and 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 China. As of March 31, 2015, the Company was not aware of any pending income tax examinations by U.S. and China tax authorities. The Company's policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company has not recorded a provision for U.S. federal income tax for the year ended March 31, 2015 due to the accumulated net operating loss carry forward from prior years in the United States.

Income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is summarized as follows:

In connection with the appointment of Mr. Henry Yu as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), and as compensation, the Board authorized the Company to provide Mr. Henry Yu with 5,000 shares of Company's restricted common stock every six months, par value $0.001, beginning in July 2011.

As compensation for having Mr. Jerry Lewin to serve as a member of the Board, the Board authorized the Company to provide Mr. Jerry Lewin with 5,000 shares of Company's restricted common stock every six months, par value $0.001, beginning in August 2011.

As compensation for having Ms. Kewa Luo to serve as the Company’s investor relation officer, the Board authorized the Company to provide Ms. Kewa Luo with 5,000 shares of Company's common stock every six months, par value $0.001, beginning in September 2013.

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

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

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

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

In March 2014, the JV Company changed its name to Kandi Electric Vehicles Group Co., Ltd.

As of March 31, 2015, the JV Company consolidated the following entities on its financial statements: (1) 100% interest in Kandi Changxing; (2) 100% interest in Kandi Jinhua; (3) 100% interest in JiHeKang; (4) 100% interest in Kandi Shanghai; and (5) 100% interest in Kandi Jiangsu.

The Company accounted for its investments in the JV Company under the equity method of accounting as the Company has a 50% ownership interest in the JV Company. Therefore, the Company’s consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 2015, 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:

During the first three months of 2015, 100% of the JV Company’s revenues were derived from the sales of EV products in the PRC with a total of 1,670 units sold. The growth of sales of EV products was mainly driven by the demand by Hangzhou Public EV Sharing Program (the “EV-Share” Program) and group long-term lease project. As the Company only has a 50% ownership interest in the JV Company and accounted for its investments in the JV Company under the equity method of accounting, the Company didn’t consolidate the JV Company’s financial results but included equity income from the JV Company during such periods.

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

Changes in the Company’s equity method investment in JV Company for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

		Three Months Ended

Exchange difference		292,327			(661,106	)
Investment in JV Company, end of the period	$	84,070,778		$	80,399,179

Sales to the Company’s customers, the JV Company’s subsidiaries, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $29,055,004, and they were primarily the sales of battery packs, body parts, EV drive motors, EV controllers, air conditioning units and other auto parts, of which the majority of sales were to Kandi Changxing which amounted to $17,605,302, Kandi Shanghai which amounted to $9,859,319 and Kandi Jinhua which amounted to $1,590,383. Theses EV parts were used in manufacturing of pure EV products by the JV’s Company’s subsidiaries to sell entirely to the JV Company’s customer via Zhejiang Geely Automobile Company Limited (“Zhejiang Geely”). Zhejiang Geely holds the country’s vehicle production rights of sedan, equivalent to license, that qualifies it to sell the EV products to the end customers. Zhejiang Geely is 90% owned by Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Company Limited and 10% owned by Zhejiang Maple Asset Management Co. Ltd. According to the JV Agreement, before the JV Company receives vehicle production rights (license), the JV Company and its subsidiaries all may sell their products through the channel of Zhejiang Geely’s vehicle production rights (license) to the end customers or the Service Company, which purchased and used the cars in Hangzhou Public EV-sharing Program and group long-term lease project. Among the total sales to the JV Company and its subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2015, approximately 86% of the sales were related to the sales of battery packs because Kandi New Energy holds a production rights (license) to manufacture requisite battery packs used in manufacturing of Kandi brand’s EVs. Under the JV agreement, the Company’s EV product manufacturing business has been completely transferred to the JV Company. The Company is mainly responsible for supplying the JV Company with EV parts and the JV Company is responsible to produce EV products and to sell finished goods through channel to its end customers.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the amount due from the JV Company, net was $71,267,257 and $51,450,612, respectively, of which the majority was the balances with Kandi Jinhua, Kandi Changxing, Kandi Shanghai. The breakdown was as below:

		March		December 31,
		31, 2015		2014

Kandi Shanghai	$	16,538,927	$	6,978,618
Kandi Changxing		20,389,790		7,359,202
Kandi Jinhua		9,877,099		12,736,420
JV Company		24,461,441		24,376,372
Consolidated JV Company	$	71,267,257	$	51,450,612

The amount due from the JV Company of $24,461,441 is a one-year entrusted loan that Kandi Vehicle lent to the JV Company from December 16, 2014 to December 15, 2015 carrying an annual interest rate determined by using the People's Bank of China floating benchmark lending rate on the date of withdraw plus 5% of that rate. The rate will not be adjusted after the withdraw during the lending period, which was 5.88% . The loan was organized by Bank of Communications Hangzhou Zhongan Branch as the agent bank between Kandi Vehicle and the JV Company. Entrusted loans are commonly found in China, where direct borrowing and lending between commercial enterprises are restricted.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

Policy affecting options and warrants

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

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

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

Estimates affecting accounts receivable and inventories

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

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period when a loss is probable based on an assessment of specific factors, such as troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging, ongoing business relations and other factors. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they would be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within operating expenses. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we recorded no allowance for doubtful accounts. This determination was made per our management’s judgment, which was based on their best knowledge.

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

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

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

Revenue Recognition

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

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

The revenue recognition policies for our legacy products, including EVs, EV parts and Off-road vehicles, are the same: When the products are delivered, the associated risk of loss is deemed transferred, and at that time we recognize revenue.

Warranty Liability

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

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

(a) Revenue

For the three months ended March 31,2015, our revenue was $43,781,086 compared to $40,171,304 for the same period of 2014, an increase of $3,609,782 or 9.0% . The increase in revenue was mainly due to the increase in EV parts sales during this quarter. The majority of the EV parts sales was battery sales.

The following table summarizes our revenues as well as the number of units sold by product types for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

	Three Month Ended March 31
	2015			2014
	Unit		Sales	Unit		Sales
EV parts	17,581	$	42,954,288	19,817	$	25,071,999
EV products	-		-	620		8,368,088
Off-road vehicles	1,336		826,798	9,067		6,731,217
Total	18,917	$	43,781,086	29,504	$	40,171,304

EV Parts

Among our total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2015, approximately $42,954,288, or 98.1%, resulted from the sale of EV parts. We started the EV parts business in the same period of 2014, and our revenue of EV parts increased $17,882,289 or 71.3% compared to the first quarter of 2014. Our EV parts sales primarily consisted of the sales of battery packs, body parts, EV drive motors, EV controllers, air conditioning units and other auto parts to the JV Company for manufacturing of EV products.

EV Products

Among our total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2015, there was no EV products sales anymore. The EV products revenue decreased $8,368,088, or 100% compared to the same period of 2014 mainly due to that the manufacture of EV products was transferred to the JV Company based on the JV Agreement. Under the JV Agreement with our joint venture partner, Shanghai Maple Guorun Automobile Co., Ltd., a 99%-owned subsidiary of Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd., starting from March 2013, our EV products manufacturing business has been gradually transferred to the JV Company, which was completed at the end of 2014. We are now primarily responsible for supplying the JV Company with EV parts and the JV Company is primarily responsible for the production of EV products.

Off-Road Vehicles

Among our total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2015, approximately $826,798, or 1.9%, resulted from the sale of off-road vehicles. The off-road vehicles revenue decreased $5,904,419, or 87.7% compared to the same period of 2014, mainly because the Company focused on the EV parts production which is in line with the long term strategy of the Company.

(b) Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold was $37,410,353 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, representing an increase of $2,099,458, or 5.9%, compared to the same period of 2014. This increase was mainly due to the increase in corresponding sales.

(c) Gross profit

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2015 increased 31.1% to $6,370,733, compared to $4,860,409 for the same period last year. This was primarily attributable to the significantly improved margin and he revenue growth during the quarter. Our gross margin increased to 14.6% compared to 12.1% for the same period of 2014. The increase in gross margin was mainly due to the production scale for the EV parts and the Company’s cost reduction program, which endeavors to gradually reduce the purchase price for the materials.

(d) Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses were $113,895 for the first quarter of 2015, compared to $71,257 for the same period last year, an increase of $42,638 or 59.8% This increase was primarily due to the transportation expense for the EV parts products in line with the sales occurred in the first quarter of year 2015.

(e) General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $3,780,648 for the first quarter of 2015, compared to $6,470,766 for the same period of last year, a decrease of $2,690,118 or 41.6% . For the three months ended March 31, 2015, general and administrative expenses included $2,049,683 in expenses for common stock awards to employees and consultants, compared to $3,420,631 for the same period in 2014. Excluding stock award costs, our net general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $1,730,965, a decrease of $1,319,170, or 43.2%, from $3,050,135 for the same period of 2014. The decrease was primarily due to a placement agent fee of $1,963,408 occurred in the first quarter of 2014 while there was none in the same period of 2015.

(f) Research and development

Research and development expenses were $571,020 for the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of $601,237 or 51.3% compared to the same period of last year. This decrease was primarily due to: 1) the expenses on China Auto Research Centre for EV testing decreased $274,867 compared to the same period last year; 2) the depreciation expenses decreased by $438,811 compared to the same period last year due to the related R&D equipment transferred from R&D department into the production department.

(g) Government grants

Government grants were $0 for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The government grants is project based. In April 2015, we received an RMB 400,000 (approximately $ 65,010) government grant for the research of Kandi EV SMA7005.

(h) Interest income

Interest income was $590,480 for the first quarter of 2015, an increase $107,187 or 22.2% compared to the same period of last year. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in interest income earned on the entrusted loans made to the JV Company.

(i) Interest expense

Interest expense was $598,591 for the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of $355,882 or 37.3% compared to the same period of last year. This change was primarily due to the interest expense of the bond for $375,823 in the same period last year.

(j) Change in fair value of financial instruments

For the first quarter of 2015, the gain related to changes in the fair value of derivative liability relating to the warrants issued to the investors and a placement agent was $4,750,300, a positive change of $17,064,471 to the same period of last year. The gain on the changes in the fair value of derivative liability is due to the decrease of the fair value price of the derivative which was primarily attributable to two factors. First, it was caused by the decrease of the Company’s stock price of the common stock underlying the warrants issued on September 4, 2014, which decreased from $17.13 on the issuance date to $12.39 on March 31, 2015. Second, it was due to the passage of remaining life of 1,429,393 shares of warrants, a significant portion of the Company’s outstanding warrants. These warrants expired on January 30, 2015.

(k) Share of (loss) of associated company

Investment gains were $0 for the first quarter of 2015, a change of $15,805 compared to the same period of last year, primarily due to the liquidation of our investment in Jinhua Service as this entity was dissolved in the third quarter of 2014.

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

For the first quarter of 2015, the JV Company’s net sales was $30,564,996, gross income was $7,980,664, and net income was $803,221. We accounted for our investments in the JV Company under the equity method of accounting as we have a 50% ownership interest in the JV Company. As a result, we recorded 50% of the JV Company’s profit for $401,610 for the first quarter of 2015. After eliminating intra-entity profits and losses, our share of the after tax profit of the JV Company was $469,356 for the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of $1,259,000 or 72.8% compared to the same period of last year, The main reasons for the decrease of the JV Company’s profits were the significant interest expense occurred for the increased bank loan for operating needs, and the operation expense increase compared to the same period last year, which were for the JV Company’s future business growth.

During the first quarter of 2015, a total of 1,670 units of EV products were sold by the JV Company, 37.4% increase compared to 1,215 units in the same quarter of 2014.

(m) Other income, net

Net other income was $23,847 for the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of $35,733 or 60.0% compared to the same period of last year primarily due to a rental income decrease for one of our factory facilities from one of our clients.

(o) Net income from continuing operation

Net income was $6,131,653 for the first quarter of 2015, a change of $20,217,813 or 143.5% compared to the net loss of $14,086,160 for the same period of last year. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the increased revenue and gross profits, and the gain from the change in the fair value of derivative securities. Excluding (i) the effects of stock award expenses, which were $2,049,683 and $3,420,631 for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and (ii) the change of the fair value of financial derivatives, which was an income of $4,750,300 and an expense of $12,314,171 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, our non-GAAP net income was $3,431,036 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to non-GAAP net income $1,648,642 for the same period of 2014, an increase of $1,782,394. This increase in net income (non-GAAP) was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue and gross profits and the operating expense savings during this three-month period.

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

Working Capital

We had a working capital surplus of $40,921,969 at March 31, 2015, compared to $39,202,684 as of December 31, 2014.

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

Capital Requirements and Capital Provided

Capital requirements and capital provided for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were as follows:

Recent Development Activities:

In November 2014, SMA7002BEV05, the first Mid-tier Luxury Pure Electric Vehicle developed by Kandi Electric Vehicles Group Co., Ltd. (the "JV Company") was approved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China ("MIIT") according to No. 69 public announcement of MIIT. The SMA7002BEV05 model is among the latest vehicles on the lists of "Approved Manufacturers of Vehicles, Motorcycles, Three-wheeled Vehicles, and Low-speed Trucks & Vehicle Products (No. 266)" and "Recommended Models for Energy Saving & New Energy Vehicle Demonstration and Promotion in China (No. 63)". As a result, purchasers of such EV will now be the ultimate beneficiaries to receive all levels of national and local subsidies and incentives. The approval of SMA7002BEV05 is an indication of our success in expanding our portfolio in the field of the middle and high level pure vehicle products. We believe that our diversified products will meet the market's growing demands and secure our leading position in manufacturing pure electric vehicle products in China.

As of January 7, 2015, our Micro Public EV Sharing Program has been expanded to 9 cities including Hangzhou, Shanghai, Chengdu, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, Changzhou, and Rugao. This program is an innovative business model aimed at promoting and popularizing the use of EV in China. Since its inception, the program has caught the eye of the public and received great recognitions and supports from consumers as well as the government agencies. It also includes a variety of the Long-term Group Leasing options, ideal for the companies, government entities and residential communities which lease at least 100 EVs on an annual basis. As of the end of 2014, there have been a total of 14,398 Kandi EVs delivered throughout the country. Through this program, Kandi built a solid foundation to be recognized as the leading pure EV producer and innovator in China.

On January 14, 2015, we announced that the first 60 Kandi Brand EVs were delivered to launch an innovative EV business model, which we called “Mini Police Car” Program. The EVs are for the first time used by Hangzhou Uptown Public Security Bureau to facilitate performance of community safety patrols, population permit patrols, fire safety inspections, as well as other police duties. The Mini Police Car offers the advantage for police to quick access into these congested areas and small alleyways to carry out its duties. Kandi equips these EVs with the necessary police equipment, firefighting apparatuses, emergency kits, and other related equipment. In addition to our successful EV sharing program catering average Chinese consumers, we hope to explore more EV growth opportunities in the area of fleet sales and leasing to large business and government entities in China in the future.

On April 13, 2015, the Company announced that the JV Company will explore public listing options in China to unlock shareholder value. The plan is to help the JV Company to leverage the growing EV market demand in China and the government’s strengthened commitment to EVs, and also help the JV Company expand substantial impact and value to China market and our shareholders over the long-term.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Exchange Rate Risk

Our operations are conducted mainly in the PRC. As such, our earnings are subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in Chinese Renminibi (“RMB”), which is our functional currency. Accordingly, our operating results are affected by changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and RMB currencies.

Economic and Political Risks

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

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 March 31, 2015. 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 other 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 1A. Risk Factors.

Changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in the PRC and the profitability of such business. On April 29, 2015. the four government departments in the PRC, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and National Development and Reform Commission jointly announced the subsidy policy for new energy vehicles from year 2016 to 2020, which declares the subsidy of year 2017-2018 will be reduced by 20% based on year 2016, and the subsidy of year 2019-2020 will be reduced by 40% based on year 2016. Furthermore, the policy increased the driving range from 80 kilometers to 100 kilometers as a threshold for the receipt of the subsidy. This policy may impact the Company’s future business and profitability growth.
