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” 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” or “PRC”), the Company is one of China’s leading producers and manufacturers of electric vehicle (“EV”) products, EV parts, and off-road vehicles for sale in the Chinese and the global markets. The Company conducts its primary business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Vehicles”), Kandi Vehicles’ wholly and partially-owned subsidiaries, and SC Autosports, LLC (“SC Autosports”, d/b/a Kandi America) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kandi America Investment, LLC (“Kandi Investment”). In March 2021, Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd. changed its name to Zhejiang Kandi Technologies Group Co., Ltd. (“Zhejiang Kandi Technologies”).

The Company’s organizational chart as of the date of this report is as follows:

NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY

The Company had working capital of $ i 253,087,658 as of September 30, 2023, an increase of $ i 5,270,533 from the working capital of $ i 247,817,125 as of December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $ i 72,900,121 and $ i 84,063,717, respectively, and the Company’s restricted cash was $ i 61,957,395 and $ i 66,976,554, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had multiple certificates of deposit with a total amount of $ i 109,676,181 and $ i 81,191,191, respectively. These certificates of deposit have an annual interest rate from i 3.10% to i 3.99% which can be transferred when necessary without any penalty or any loss of interest and principal.

Although the Company expects that most of its outstanding trade receivables from customers will be collected in the next twelve months, there are uncertainties with respect to the timing in collecting these receivables.

The Company’s primary need for liquidity stems from its need to fund working capital requirements of the Company’s businesses, its capital expenditures and its general operations, including debt repayment. The Company has historically financed its operations through short-term commercial bank loans from Chinese banks, as well as its ongoing operating activities by using funds from operations, external credit or financing arrangements. Currently the Company has sufficient cash in hand to meet the existing operational needs, but the credit line is retained and can be utilized timely when the Company has special capital needs. The PRC subsidiaries have $ i 6.9 million short-term bank loans and the US subsidiaries have $ i 2.2 million short-term bank loans and $ i 8.2 million long-term bank loans outstanding as of September 30, 2023.

NOTE 3 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, the interim financial statements reflect all normal adjustments that are necessary to provide a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of such date. For a more complete understanding of the Company’s business, financial position, operating results, cash flows, risk factors and other matters, please refer to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”) filed with SEC on March 16, 2023.

(“Hainan Kandi Holding”), a subsidiary of Kandi Hainan, incorporated under the laws of the PRC; Kandi Hainan owns i 66.7% and a non-affiliate, Jiangsu Xingchi owns i 33.3% of Hainan Kandi Holding.

Non-controlling interest in the results of the Company are presented on the consolidated statement of operations as an allocation of the total income or loss for the period between non-controlling interest holders and the shareholders of the Company.

NOTE 5 - USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenues and expenses during the reported period in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements primarily include, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, lower of cost and net realizable value of inventory, assessment for impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, change in fair value of contingent consideration, determination of share-based compensation expenses as well as fair value of stock warrants.

Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized impairment loss of $ i 500,064 for goodwill and impairment loss of $ i 948,438 for finite-lived intangible assets, respectively.

NOTE 6 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 6 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

NOTE 7 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, which requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, as if it had originated the contracts. Prior to this ASU, an acquirer generally recognizes contract assets acquired and contract liabilities assumed that arose from contracts with customers at fair value on the acquisition date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The ASU is applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment (or if adopted early as of an interim period, as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application). The Company has adopted this accounting pronouncement from January 1, 2023, and there was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements from the adoption.

The Company’s provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if its estimated tax rate changes, management makes a cumulative adjustment. For 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate is favorably affected by a super-deduction for qualified research and development costs and adversely affected by non-deductible expenses such as stock rewards for non-US employees, and part of entertainment expenses. The Company records valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets associated with losses and other timing differences for which we may not realize a related tax benefit. After combining research and development tax credits of i 25% on certain qualified research and development expenses, the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were a tax benefit of i 1.40% on a reported income before taxes of approximately $ i 6.2 million, a tax benefit of i 9.53% on a reported loss before taxes of approximately $ i 2.7 million, respectively.

The quarterly tax provision, and the quarterly estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, is subject to significant variation due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting the Company’s pre-tax and taxable income and loss, acquisitions (including integrations) and investments, changes in its stock price, changes in its deferred tax assets and liabilities and their valuation, return to provision true-up, foreign currency gains (losses), changes in regulations and interpretations related to tax, accounting, and other areas. Additionally, the Company’s effective tax rate can be volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income or loss. The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was tax benefit of $ i 86,330 and tax benefit of $ i 255,232, respectively.

Under ASC 740 guidance relating to uncertain tax positions, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) and those states where the Company has operations. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by the IRS and relevant state tax authorities. During the periods open to examination, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since these NOLs may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination. The Company also files certain tax returns in the PRC. As of September 30, 2023, 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.

Pursuant to the share transfer agreement, the Company paid approximately RMB i 50 million (approximately $ i 7.9 million) at the closing of the transaction using cash on hand and, as agreed upon under No.1 Supplementary Agreement, may be required to pay future consideration of up to an additional i 2,576,310 shares of common stock, or the total make good shares, upon the achievement of certain net income-based milestones in the next three years (“Evaluation Period”, as discussed below). Due to the latest COVID-19 outbreak and extended lockdown in some areas in China, in June 2022, the Company agreed with the Transferors and jointly signed a No.2 supplementary agreement (“No.2 Supplementary Agreement”, collectively with No.1 Supplementary Agreement, “Supplementary Agreements”) to revise the conditions of the annual profit target and extension of evaluation period for the first year, which were set under No.1 Supplementary Agreement. i Pursuant to the No.2 Supplementary Agreement, the Transferors have the right to obtain 858,770 KNDI shares in each of the below-mentioned periods, provided that Jiangxi Huiyi achieves a net income of 1) RMB 8 million yuan or more during the period from July 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022 (“Period I”); 2) RMB 15 million yuan or more during the period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023 (“Period II”); 3) RMB 15 million yuan or more during the period from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024 (“Period III”). If the net income of Jiangxi Huiyi fails to reach the respective target number in any of the three periods, the shares that the Transferors are entitled to obtain in that period will be adjusted accordingly: 1) if the difference between the net income in each Period and its Target Number is less than or equivalent to 20% of its Target Number (RMB 8 Million in Period I or RMB 15 Million in Period II or Period III), the transferee or KNDI has right to directly subtract 171,754 KNDI shares from the total make good shares, and the Transferor are entitled to obtain 687,016 KNDI shares; 2) if the difference between the net income in each Period and its Target Number (RMB 8 Million in Period I or RMB 15 Million in Period II or Period III) is more than 20% of its Target Number but less than 40% of its Target Number, the transferee or KNDI has the right to directly subtract 343,508 KNDI shares from the total make good shares, and the Transferors have the right to obtain 515,262 KNDI shares; 3) if the difference between the net income in each Period and its Target Number (RMB 8 Million in Period I or RMB 15 Million in Period II or Period III) is greater than or equal to 40% of its Target Number, the transferee of KNDI has the right to directly subtract 858,770 KNDI shares from the total make good shares, and the Transferors will not have the right to obtain any shares in such year.

Zhejiang Kandi Technologies will take over the management rights while the Transferors shall not participate the management of Jiangxi Huiyi, and there was no further Evaluation Period or make good shares.

The Company recorded contingent consideration liability of the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration the Company currently expects to pay to the Transferors for the achievement of the milestones .

Litigation

Beginning in March 2017, putative shareholder class actions were filed against Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (“Kandi”) and certain of its current and former directors and officers in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaints generally alleged violations of the federal securities laws based on Kandi’s disclosure in March 2017 that its financial statements for the years 2014, 2015 and the first three quarters of 2016 would need to be restated, and sought damages on behalf of putative classes of shareholders who purchased or acquired Kandi’s securities prior to March 13, 2017. Kandi moved to dismiss the remaining cases, all of which were pending in the New York federal court, that motion was granted in September 2019, and the time to appeal has run. In June 2020, a similar but separate putative securities class action was filed against Kandi and certain of its current and former directors and officers in California federal court. This action was transferred to the New York federal court in September 2020, Kandi moved to dismiss in March 2021, and that motion was granted in October 2021. The plaintiff in this case subsequently filed an amended complaint, Kandi moved to dismiss that complaint in January 2022, and the motion was granted in part and denied in part in September 2022. Discovery is ongoing as to the remaining claims and defendants.

Beginning in May 2017, purported shareholder derivative actions based on the same underlying events described above were filed against certain current and former directors of Kandi in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The New York federal court confirmed the voluntary dismissal of these actions in April 2019.

In October 2017, a shareholder filed a books and records action against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery pursuant to 8 Del. C. Section 220 seeking the production of certain documents generally relating to the same underlying items described above as well as attorney’s fees (the “Section 220 Litigation”). On September 28, 2018, the parties, through their respective counsel, agreed to dismiss the Section 220 Litigation with prejudice and with each party bearing its own attorney’s fees, costs, and expenses, thereby concluding the action. In February 2019, this same shareholder commenced a derivative action against certain current and former directors of Kandi in the Delaware Court of Chancery. A motion to dismiss this derivative action was filed in May 2019 and that motion was denied on April 27, 2020. Discovery is ongoing.

Separately, in connection with allegations of misconduct identified in pre-suit demands made by putative shareholders of Kandi, Kandi formed a Special Litigation Committee (“SLC”) and retained a Delaware law firm as independent counsel to the SLC to aid in the SLC’s investigation of, and to ultimately report on, the allegations of misconduct set forth in the pre-suit demands. The SLC recommended to Kandi’s board of directors in June 2020 that the SLC be dissolved in light of the ongoing derivative action pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery, and this recommendation was adopted by the board in August 2020.

In December 2020, a putative securities class action was filed against Kandi and certain of its current officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The complaint generally alleges violations of the federal securities laws based on claims made in a report issued by Hindenburg Research in November 2020, and seeks damages on behalf of a putative class of shareholders who purchased or acquired Kandi’s securities prior to March 15, 2019. Kandi moved to dismiss in February 2022, and that motion remains pending.

While the Company believes that the claims in these litigations are without merit and will defend itself vigorously, the Company is unable to estimate the possible loss, if any, associated with these litigations. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain and the outcome of these matters, whether favorable or unfavorable, could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations due to defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. Defending litigation can be costly, and adverse results in the litigations could result in substantial monetary judgments. No assurance can be made that litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position.

On September 21, 2023, the SEC filed a settled administrative order (the “Order”) against Kandi alleging violations of certain provisions of the United States’ securities laws. The Order sets forth certain findings, which the Company neither admits nor denies, regarding statements the Company made in its periodic filings and press releases that issued during the years 2020 and 2019. These statements concerned the Company’s then plans to sell highway passenger electric vehicles in the United States. Pursuant to the Order, the Company agreed to settle and paid a settlement of $ i 710,000 by September 30, 2023.

Overview

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our operating entities recognized total revenue of $95,241,648 as compared to $79,405,788 for the same period of 2022, an increase of $15,835,860 or 19.9%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our operating entities recorded $32,682,823 of gross profit, an increase of $21,207,630 or 184.8% from the same period of 2022. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 34.3%, compared to 14.5% for the same period of 2022. Our operating entities recorded a net income of $6,259,185 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a net loss of $2,421,617 in the same period of 2022.

Thanks to our business strategy adjustment, we made considerable progress in electric off-road vehicles, despite the resurgences of COVID-19 in 2022, which has been causing frequent lockdowns in many cities and severe disruption of supply chain. Now with the global trend of “fuel to electrification” of off-road vehicles becoming more and more obvious, we have successfully developed electric crossover golf carts and put them on the market in batches, which have been favored by users. Next, we will successively launch various electric off-road vehicles, including electric crossover golf carts and electric UTVs. With the successively introduction of new products, we are confident to achieve sustained growth in the field of the pure electric off-road vehicles. As for our EV business, due to the fact that the Chinese EV market has not entered a healthy and orderly development stage, currently the Company will continue to operate in small-scale, and join back as appropriate when the EV market of China entered a healthy and orderly development stage.

On June 17, 2023, SC Autosports, a company formed under the laws of the State of Texas, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kandi Technologies, entered into an equity transfer agreement (the “Equity Transfer Agreement”) with Olen Rice (the “Transferor”), who owns 100% equity interests of Northern Group, Inc. (“NGI”), a Wisconsin incorporated company, pursuant to which the Transferor agreed to transfer, and SC Autosports agreed to accept all the equity interests (100)% of NGI and its related rights and obligations, which includes but are not limited to general shareholder rights, the right to receive dividends, and the right to accept or subscribe for bonus shares or newly issued shares, but excluding any claims or impediments of the Transferor arising from events occurring prior to the date of the closing of the acquisition. The acquisition is for the purpose of expanding the SC Autosports’ and the Company’s sales pipelines through vertical integration. On July 12, 2023, pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Company issued a total of 3,951,368 shares of restrictive stock to sole shareholder of NGI, which are being held in escrow with certain escrow restrictions, to be released contingent upon the achievement of certain agreed-upon milestones during the escrow period.

NGI was founded in 2000. It has extensive sales experience and sales channels in the United States rooted in wholesale, retail, supply chain and analytics solutions, including more than 20 team members, 16 major retailers and 20 suppliers and brands.

The acquisition of NGI was not closed as of the date of this report and the process is being finalized.
