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 (through the Affiliate Company, formerly defined as the JV Company), 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).

 

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

 

 

 

5

 

 

In June 2020, Jinhua An Kao Power Technology Co., Ltd. changed its name to Zhejiang Kandi Smart Battery Swap Technology Co., Ltd (“Kandi Smart Battery Swap”).

 

The Company’s original primary business operations consist of designing, developing, manufacturing and commercializing EV products (through Kandi Electric Vehicles (Hainan) Co., Ltd. and the Affiliate Company), EV parts and off-road vehicles. The COVID-19 outbreak has seriously impacted the EV market in 2020. As a result, the Company plans to manufacture and sell a number of ancillary products aimed at the dynamic power train system of intelligent transportation. For example, the dynamic power train system of Electric Scooters and Electric Self-Balancing Vehicles. The Company is pursuing these opportunities by expanding production of intelligent transportation products that exploit its advantages in the Yongkang Scrou Electric Co, Ltd.’s power electric motor and Kandi Smart Battery Swap’s power battery pack. The products aimed at this market combine the Company’s motors and battery packs into a dynamic power train system. As part of its strategic objective of becoming a leading manufacturer of EV products (through the Affiliate Company) and related services, in the future, the Company will increase its focus on pure EV-related products and intelligent transportation dynamic power train system, and is actively pursuing expansion in the domestic and foreign markets.

   

NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY

 

The Company had working capital of $75,587,762 as of June 30, 2020, an increase of $11,889,065 from the working capital of $63,698,697 as of December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $3,457,498 and $5,490,557, respectively. The Company’s restricted cash was $3,221,053 and $11,022,078, respectively.

 

After two years of negotiations, on March 10, 2020, a real estate repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) was entered into by and between Kandi Vehicles and Jinhua Economic and Technological Development Zone pursuant to which the local government shall purchase the land use right over the land of 66 acres (400 mu, 265,029 square meters) that is owned by Kandi Vehicles for RMB 525 million ($74 million). Payments to Kandi Vehicles shall be made in three installments as the Company disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2020. In addition, if Kandi Vehicles achieves certain milestones that contribute to local economic development, the Company will be eligible for tax rebates totaling up to RMB 500 million ($71 million) over the next eight years. On May 22, 2020, the Company received the first payment of RMB 244 million (approximately $35 million) under the Repurchase Agreement. On July 9, 2020, the Company received the second payment of RMB 119 million (approximately $17 million) under the Repurchase Agreement. The final payment of RMB 162 million ($22.9 million) will be received when the Company vacates the land, factory buildings, and other real estate and moved to the new facility. Kandi Vehicles intends to use a portion of the proceeds from the land repurchase (approximately RMB 130 million, or $18.4 million) to fund the land use acquisition and factory construction in the New Energy Automotive Zone, and use the rest portion to fund growth initiatives and for general corporate purposes. Although the Company expects that most of its outstanding trade receivables from customers will be collected in the next twelve months, there are uncertainties with respect to the timing in collecting these receivables, especially the receivables due from the Affiliate Company, because most of them are indirectly impacted by the progress of the receipt of government subsidies.

The Company’s primary need for liquidity stems from its need to fund working capital requirements of the Company’s businesses, its capital expenditures and its general operations, including debt repayment. The Company has historically financed its operations through short-term commercial bank loans from Chinese banks, as well as its ongoing operating activities by using funds from operations, external credit or financing arrangements. Although the Company has paid off all the short-term bank loans as of June 30, 2020, it still retains the credit line, which can be used at any time when the Company has special needs. In addition, the Company received the remaining RMB186 million (approximately $26.3 million) equity transfer payment from Geely in July, 2020. The management believes that the Company currently has sufficient working capital to support its ongoing operations for the next twelve months. 

 

NOTE 3 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the 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, 2019 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, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”).

 

Beginning in 2020, a strain of new coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has spread globally and at this point, the extent to which the COVID-19 may impact operations of the Company is uncertain. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 on the Company's business and operations will depend on several factors, such as the duration, severity, and geographic spread of the pandemic, development of the testing and treatment and stimulus measures of the government. The Company is monitoring and assessing the evolving situation closely and evaluating its potential exposure. The operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 may not be indicative of the future operating results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 or other future periods, particularly in light of the uncertain impact COVID-19 could have on the Company's business.

NOTE 7 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In February 2018, the FASB released ASU 2018-2, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This standard update addresses a specific consequence of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) and allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. Consequently, the update eliminates the stranded tax effects that were created as a result of the historical U.S. federal corporate income tax rate to the newly enacted U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. The Company is required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2020 and the new standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements under ASC 820. This ASU is to be applied on a prospective basis for certain modified or new disclosure requirements, and all other amendments in the standard are to be applied on a retrospective basis. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2020 and the new standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Derivatives and Hedging, which clarifies the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321, the accounting for equity method investments in Topic 323, and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options in Topic 815. This guidance will be effective in the first quarter of 2021 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance and do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 9 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants (using treasury stock method). Due to the average market price of the common stock during the period below the exercise price of the options and due to the loss from operations, approximately 3,900,000 options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, for the three-month and six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

   

The following is the calculation of earnings per share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

 

    For three months ended  
    June 30,  
    2020     2019

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and provides over $2.0 trillion in emergency economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act authorized the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). An eligible business can apply for a PPP loan up to the greater of: (1) 2.5 times its average monthly “payroll costs;” or (2) $10.0 million. PPP loans will have: (a) an interest rate of 1.0%, (b) a two-year loan term to maturity; and (c) principal and interest payments deferred for six months from the date of disbursement. The SBA will guarantee 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers. The entire principal amount of the borrower’s PPP loan, including any accrued interest, is eligible to be reduced by the loan forgiveness amount under the PPP so long as employee and compensation levels of the business are maintained and 75% of the loan proceeds are used for payroll expenses, with the remaining 25% of the loan proceeds used for other qualifying expenses. As of June 30, 2020, we had received $244,116 under the PPP.

 

In addition, Economic Injury Disaster Loans (“EIDL”) through the SBA was also made available under the CARES Act passed by Congress in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. During June 2020, $150,000 of EIDL loan was approved with the term of a 3.75% rate over 30 years, and a 12-month deferment on the first repayment of principal with interest accrued during deferment.

NOTE 18 - TAXES

 

(a) Corporation Income Tax

 

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

 

The Company’s tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its 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, the management makes a cumulative adjustment. For 2019, the management estimates that its effective tax rate will be favorably affected by non-taxable income such as the share of income of the Affiliate Company and the gain from the change of fair value of contingent liabilities and certain research and development super-deduction and adversely affected by non-deductible expenses such as part of entertainment expenses. The Company records valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets associated with losses for which it may not realize a related tax benefit. After combining research and development tax credits of 25% on certain qualified research and development expenses, the Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were a tax expense of 62.43% on a reported income before taxes of approximately $6.6 million, a tax benefit of 6.02% on a reported loss before taxes of approximately $12.5 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 more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income or loss. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was tax expense of $4,122,502 and tax benefit of $751,193, respectively.

 

18

 

 

Under ASC 740 guidance relating to uncertain tax positions, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of June 30, 2020, the Company did not have any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) and those states where the Company has operations. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by the IRS and relevant state tax authorities for years after 2006. During the periods open to examination, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since these NOLs may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination. The Company also files certain tax returns in the PRC. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was not aware of any pending income tax examinations by U.S. or PRC tax authorities. The Company records interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

The aggregate NOLs in 2019 was $9.6 million deriving from entities in the PRC and Hong Kong. The aggregate NOLs in 2018 was $28.1 million deriving from entities in the PRC and Hong Kong. The NOLs will start to expire from 2021 if they are not used. The cumulative net operating loss in the PRC can be carried forward for five years, to offset future net profits for income tax purposes. The Company has $0 cumulative net operating loss in U.S. to carry forward as of June 30, 2020. The cumulative net operating loss in Hong Kong can be carried forward without an expiration date.

 

(b) Tax Holiday Effect

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the PRC CIT rate was 25%. Certain subsidiaries of the Company are entitled to tax exemptions (tax holidays) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

The combined effects of income tax expense exemptions and reductions available to the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

 

    Six Months Ended  
    June 30,  
    2020     2019  
Tax benefit (holiday) credit   $ 164,163     $ 169,810  
Basic net income per share effect   $ 0.000     $ 0.000  

 

(c) CARES Act

 

On March 27, 2020, the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act” was signed into law. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Company does not anticipate significant income tax impact on its financial and continue to examine the impacts this CARES Act may have on its business.

On January 3, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity of Jinhua An Kao, currently known as Kandi Smart Battery Swap Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Smart Battery Swap”). The Company paid approximately RMB 25.93 million (approximately $4 million) at the closing of the transaction using cash on hand and issued a total of 2,959,837 shares of restrictive stock or 6.2% of the Company’s total outstanding shares of the common stock immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition valued at approximately $20.7 million to the former shareholders of Kandi Smart Battery Swap and his designees (the “KSBS Shareholders”), and may be required to pay future consideration of up to an additional 2,959,837 shares of common stock, which are being held in escrow and to be released contingent upon the achievement of certain net income-based milestones in the next three years. Any escrowed shares that are not released from escrow to the KSBS Shareholders as a result of the failure to achieve the milestones will be forfeited and returned to the Company for cancellation. While the escrowed shares are held in escrow, the Company will retain all voting rights with respect to such shares. For the year ended December 31, 2018, Kandi Smart Battery Swap achieved its first year net profit target. Accordingly, the KSBS Shareholders received 739,959 shares of Kandi’s restrictive common stock or 12.5% of the total equity consideration (i.e., 5,919,674 total shares) as part of the purchase price. For the year ended December 31, 2019, Kandi Smart Battery Swap achieved its second year net profit target. Accordingly, the KSBS Shareholders received 986,810 shares of Kandi’s restrictive common stock or 16.67% of the total equity consideration (i.e., 5,919,674 total shares) as part of the purchase price. All the escrowed shares have been included in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 declared effective by the SEC on April 5, 2019.

 

As the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 affected Kandi Smart Battery Swap’s operation and business, on July 7, 2020, the Company and the KSBS Shareholders made following supplements to Condition III of the original Supplementary Agreement: The transferor has the right to receive a total of 20.83% of total equity consideration (i.e., 5,919,674 total shares), provided that Kandi Smart Battery Swap realizes a net profit of RMB50,000,000 or more for the period from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 (as opposed to be the originally stated “December 31, 2020”), and such profit is audited or reviewed and Kandi Smart Battery Swap gets annual or quarterly financial report issued subject to US GAAP.

 

On July 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity of SC Autosports (d/b/a Kandi America). The Company issued a total of 171,969 shares of restrictive stock or approximately 0.3% of the Company’s total outstanding shares of the common stock immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition valued at approximately $0.8 million at the closing of transaction to the former members of SC Autosports within 30 days from the signing date of the Transfer Agreement, and may be required to pay future consideration of up to an additional 1,547,721 shares of common stock of the Company, which are being held in escrow and to be released contingent upon the achievement of certain pre-tax profit based milestones in the next three years. Any escrowed shares that are not released from escrow to the SC Autosports former members due to the failure to achieve the milestones will be forfeited and returned to the Company for cancellation. While the escrowed shares are held in escrow, the Company will retain all voting rights with respect to the shares. For the year ended December 31, 2018, SC Autosports achieved its first year pre-tax profit target. Accordingly, the former members of SC Autosports received 343,938 shares of Kandi’s restrictive common stock or 20% of the total equity consideration in the purchase price. For the year ended December 31, 2019, SC Autosports achieved its second year pre-tax profit target. Accordingly, the former members of SC Autosports received 515,907 shares of Kandi’s restrictive common stock or 30% of the total equity consideration in the purchase price.

The Company recorded contingent consideration liability of the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration the Company currently expects to pay to the KSBS Shareholders and SC Autosports’ former members upon the achievement of certain milestones. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with remaining shares of restrictive common stock was estimated by using the Monte Carlo simulation method, which took into account all possible scenarios. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, the Company will re-measure this liability each reporting period and record changes in the fair value through a separate line item within the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

 

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s contingent consideration liability was $2,334,000 and $5,197,000, respectively. The decrease in contingent consideration liability was mainly due to the decrease of the forecast of SC Autosports’ third year net income as of June 30, 2020.

NOTE 23 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Guarantees and pledged collateral for bank loans to other parties

 

(1) Guarantees for bank loans

 

On March 15, 2013, the Company entered into a guarantee contract to serve as the guarantor of Nanlong Group Co., Ltd. (“NGCL”) for NGCL’s $ 2,829,575 (RMB 20 million) loan from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Jinhua Branch, with a related loan period from March 15, 2013 to March 15, 2016. NGCL is not related to the Company. Under this guarantee contract, the Company agreed to assume joint liability as the loan guarantor. In April 2017, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank filed a lawsuit against NGCL, the Company and ten other parties in Zhejiang Province People’s Court in Yongkang City, alleging NGCL defaulted on a bank loan borrowed from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank for a principal amount of approximately $2.9 million and demanded that the guarantor bear the liability for compensation. On May 27, 2017, a judicial mediation took place in Yongkang City and parties reached a settlement in mediation, in which the plaintiff agreed NGCL would repay the loan principal and interest in installments. If there were an event of default that NGCL could not repay the loan, the Company may be obligated to bear the liability of defaulted amount. The Company expects the likelihood of incurring losses in connection with this matter to be remote.

 

On September 29, 2015, the Company entered into a guarantee contract to serve as the guarantor of Zhejiang Shuguang Industrial Co., Ltd. (“ZSICL”) for a bank loan in the amount of $4,102,883 (RMB 29 million) from Ping An Bank, with a related loan period of September 29, 2015, to September 28, 2016. ZSICL is not related to the Company. Under this guarantee contract, the Company agreed to perform all the obligations of ZSICL under the loan contract if ZSICL failed to perform its obligations as set forth therein. In August 2016, Ping An Bank Yiwu Branch (“Ping An Bank”) filed a lawsuit against ZSICL, the Company, and three other parties in Zhejiang Province People’s Court in Yiwu City, alleging ZSICL defaulted on a bank loan it had borrowed from Pin An Bank for a principal amount of RMB 29 million or approximately $4.2 million (the “Principal”), for which the Company was a guarantor along with other three parties. On December 25, 2016, the court ruled that ZSICL should repay Ping An Bank the principal and associated interest remaining on the bank loan within 10 days once the adjudication was effective. Additionally, the court found that the Company and the three other parties, acting as guarantors, have joint liability for this bank loan. On July 31, 2017, the Company and Ping An Bank reached an agreement to settle. According to the agreement, the Company was to pay Ping An Bank RMB 20 million or approximately $3.0 million in four installments before October 31, 2017 to release the Company from its guarantor liability for this default. As of October 31, 2017, the Company has paid all four installments totaling RMB 20 million or approximately $3.0 million to Ping An Bank and thus the Company has been released from its guarantor liability for this default. According to the Company’s agreement with ZSICL, ZSICL agreed to reimburse all the Company’s losses due to ZSICL’s default on the loan principal and interests, of which RMB 13.9 million has been reimbursed to the Company as of the date of this report and the remainder is expected to be reimbursed in installments. The Company expects the likelihood of incurring losses in connection with this matter to be low.

(2) Pledged collateral for bank loans for which the parties other than the Company are the borrowers.

 

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, none of the Company’s land use rights or plants and equipment were pledged as collateral securing bank loans for which the parties other than the Company are the borrowers.

 

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 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 seek 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, and that motion was granted by an order entered on September 30, 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 and remains pending.

 

Beginning in May 2017, purported shareholder derivative actions based on the same underlying events described above were filed against certain current and former directors of Kandi 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.

 

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. In June 2020, the SLC recommended that it be dissolved in light of the ongoing derivative action pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery as referenced in the immediate above paragraph.

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.

Overview

 

We are one of the leading manufacturers of EV products (through Kandi Hainan and the Affiliate Company), EV parts and off-road vehicles in China. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized total revenue of $25,809,500 as compared to $42,214,690 for the same period of 2019, a decrease of $16,405,190 or 38.9%. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $4,704,037 of gross profit, a decrease of 35.9% from the same period of 2019. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 18.2%, compared to 17.4% for the same period of 2019. We recorded a net income of $2,480,400 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a net loss of $11,727,630 in the same period of 2019, a positive change from net loss to net income by gaining $14,208,030 or 121.2%.

 

The spread of COVID-19 around China and other parts of the world has caused significant volatility in the markets of China, U.S., and the rest of the world. The pandemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities in China and elsewhere. Although the Company’s operations in China has fully resumed in early March 2020, the COVID-19 will affect the Company’s business performance in 2020. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 impacts our operations will depend on its future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or minimize its harm, among others.

The COVID outbreak has seriously impacted the EV market in 2020, leading us to explore how to augment our business. As we looked at other market opportunities that leverage our expertise, the management of the Company found potential in a number of ancillary products aimed at intelligent transportation. For example, Electric Scooters and Electric Self-Balancing Vehicles have distinct potential, with tens of millions of units sold each year around the world. The Company is pursuing these opportunities by expanding production of intelligent transportation products that exploit our advantages in the Yongkang Scrou’s power electric motor and Kandi Smart Battery Swap’s power battery pack. Our products aimed at this market combines our motors and battery packs into a dynamic power train system. Through extensive product trials, we are able to meet a leading standard in China, and thus went into production in the second quarter. As this business is developing quickly and progressing, the Company will consider to merge Yongkang Scrou and Kandi Smart Battery Swap into a single company that specialized in both smart battery swap system and powertrain technology.

 

The Company originally planned to export 2,000 to 5,000 units electric vehicles to the U.S. in 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of 2020, the plan are being adjusted according to the situation of COVID-19 control in the U.S, as well as the virtual pre-sales event on August 18.

 

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company’s revenue increased to $19.4 million from $6.4 million during the first quarter of 2020. However, COVID-19 may eventually affect the Company's 2020 overall business performance. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 may not be indicative of the future operating results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 or other future periods, particularly in light of the uncertain impact COVID-19 could have on the Company's business.

(a) Revenue

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, our revenue was $19,437,076 compared to $24,146,230 for the same period of 2019, representing a decrease of $4,709,154 or 19.5%. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the decrease in EV parts sales. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in China, the demand of EV parts from customers was significantly affected during the first half of 2020.

 

The following table summarizes our revenues by product types for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

 

    Three Months Ended
June 30,
 
    2020     2019  
    Sales     Sales

Off-road vehicles      6,564,415         5,157,489  
Electric Scooters and Electric Self-Balancing Scooters     360,026       -  
Total   $ 19,437,076     $ 24,146,230  

 

The negative amount is due to exchange rate difference.

 

EV Parts

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, our revenues from the sales of EV parts were $12,514,548, representing a decrease of $6,474,193 or 34.1% from $18,988,741 for the same quarter of 2019.

 

Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily consisted of revenue from the sales of battery packs, body parts, EV controllers, air conditioning units and other auto parts for use in the manufacturing of EV products. These sales accounted for 64.4% of total sales.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, our revenue from the sale of EV parts to the Affiliate Company and its subsidiaries accounted for approximately 0% and 17% of our total net revenue for the quarter, respectively.

 

EV Products

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, our revenue from the sale of EV Products was negative $1,913, which was due to exchange rate difference. There were no EV Products sales in the same period of 2020.

 

Off-Road Vehicles

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, our revenue from the sales of off-road vehicles, including go karts, all-terrain vehicles (“ATVs”) and others, were $6,564,415, representing an increase of $1,406,926 or 27.3% from $5,157,489, for the same quarter of 2019. The increase was mainly due to the increased sales from SC Autosports because of increased demand due to the power sports’ unique form of “socially distant” recreation.

 

Our off-road vehicles business line accounted for approximately 33.8% of our total net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Electric Scooters and Electric Self-Balancing Scooters

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, our revenue from the sale of Electric Scooters and Electric Self-Balancing Scooters was $360,026. There were no Electric Scooters and Electric Self-Balancing Scooters sales in the same quarter of 2019.

The negative amount is due to exchange rate difference.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and provides over $2.0 trillion in emergency economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act authorized the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). An eligible business can apply for a PPP loan up to the greater of: (1) 2.5 times its average monthly “payroll costs;” or (2) $10.0 million. PPP loans will have: (a) an interest rate of 1.0%, (b) a two-year loan term to maturity; and (c) principal and interest payments deferred for six months from the date of disbursement. The SBA will guarantee 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers. The entire principal amount of the borrower’s PPP loan, including any accrued interest, is eligible to be reduced by the loan forgiveness amount under the PPP so long as employee and compensation levels of the business are maintained and 75% of the loan proceeds are used for payroll expenses, with the remaining 25% of the loan proceeds used for other qualifying expenses. As of June 30, 2020, we had received $244,116 under the PPP. In addition, Economic Injury Disaster Loans (“EIDL”) through the SBA was also made available under the CARES Act passed by Congress in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. During June 2020, $150,000 of EIDL loan was approved with the term of a 3.75% rate over 30 years, and a 12-month deferment on the first repayment of principal with interest accrued during deferment. false --12-31 Q2 0001316517 2020-05-22 2020-05-22 2020-04-22 2020-04-24 2020-04-26 2021-12-12 The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and provides over $2.0 trillion in emergency economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
