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:

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”).

In September 2020, Kandi Vehicles transferred all of its equity interest in Yongkang Scrou Electric Co, Ltd. (“Yongkang Scrou”) to its wholly owned subsidiary, Kandi Smart Battery Swap.

In September 2020, to better monetize its dozens of patents in the field of battery swap systems and attract strategic investors to participate across the whole sector value chain, including battery swapping services and used battery recycling, the Company formed China Battery Exchange Technology Co., Ltd. (“China Battery Exchange”). Kandi Vehicles has 100% ownership interest in China Battery Exchange. As of September 30, 2020, China Battery Exchange has not commenced any business operations.

In September 2020, intending to operate a ridesharing service across China, Zhejiang Ruiheng Technology Co., Ltd (“Ruiheng”) was established by Zhejiang Ruibo New Energy Vehicle Service Company Ltd. (“Ruibo”), Jiangsu Jinpeng Group Ltd. (“Jinpeng”) and Kandi Vehicles. Ruibo, Jinpeng and Kandi Vehicles each owns 80%, 10%, and 10% of Ruiheng, respectively.

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’s power electric motor and Kandi Smart Battery Swap’s power battery pack.

The Company had working capital of $ 79,767,999 as of September 30, 2020, an increase of $ 16,069,302 from the working capital of $63,698,697 as of December 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $23,909,159 and $5,490,557, respectively. The Company’s restricted cash was $ 250,000 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 ($77 million). Payments to Kandi Vehicles shall be made in three installments pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement. 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 ($74 million) over the next eight years. On May 22, 2020, the Company received the first payment of RMB 244 million (approximately $36 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 ($23.8 million) will be received when the Company vacates the land, factory buildings, and other real estate and moves to the new facility. Kandi Vehicles intends to use a portion of the proceeds from the land repurchase (approximately RMB 130 million, or $19.1 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 September 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 $27.3 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. Though it becomes more stable in China, there are new cases reported continuously at present. The extent to which the COVID-19 may impact operations of the Company, with majority of operations based in China, is alleviated though it remains uncertain due to the fact that the COVID-19 is not completely over. 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 nine months ended September 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 6 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 6 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K, excepting the following.

(v) Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for nine months ended September 30, 2019 to conform to the presentation of condensed consolidated financial statement for nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company reclassified the following 1) grouping due from employees into other receivables and other assets; 2) grouping customer deposits and deferred income into other payables and accrued liabilities; 3) reclassifying a portion of other receivables and other assets under operating activities to loan to third party under investing activities; 4) reclassifying a portion of other payables and accrued liabilities under operating activities to repayments of loan from third party under financing activities.

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 December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, income Taxes — Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes serves to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain following Codification exceptions, including exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment. This guidance will be effective after December 15, 2020, 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.

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, approximately 3,900,000 options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, for the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.

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 2020, 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 stock compensation inelegible for U.S. income tax deduction and 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were a tax expense of 56.99% on a reported income before taxes of approximately $2.4 million, a tax benefit of 13.05% on a reported income before taxes of approximately $0.3 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was tax expense of $1,354,563 and tax benefit of $41,780, 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, 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 September 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 September 30, 2020, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The Affiliate Company converted RMB 1.2 billion of the debt due from Zhejiang ZuoZhongYou Automobile Service Co., Ltd (“ZuoZhongYou”) into 85% of its equity interest. ZuoZhongYou is under common control with the Affiliate Company by Geely. On August 28, 2020. There was about RMB 97.2 million of difference between the carrying value of the debt of RMB 1.2 billion and the carrying value of ZuoZhongYou’s net asset at the transaction date. Hence, there is a decrease of RMB 21.4 million (approximately $3.1 million, which is 22% of the RMB 97.2 million) of “Investment in the Affiliate Company” on the Company’s book, with a corresponding decrease to the additional paid in capital.

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 $2,940,614 (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.

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

As of September 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. In September 2020, this action was transferred to the New York 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. 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.

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.

If these estimates differ significantly from actual results, the impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements may be material. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in on the 2019 Form 10-K. Please refer to Part II, Item 7 of such a report for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized total revenue of $44,526,718 as compared to $73,903,234 for the same period of 2019, a decrease of $29,376,516 or 39.7%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $8,614,933 of gross profit, a decrease of 31.7% from the same period of 2019. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 19.3%, compared to 17.1% for the same period of 2019. We recorded a net income of $1,022,137 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a net income of $361,811 in the same period of 2019, an increase of $660,326 or 182.5%.

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 has affected the Company’s business performance in 2020. Though it becomes more stable in China, there are new cases reported continuously at present. The extent to which the COVID-19 may impact operations of the Company, with majority of operations based in China, is alleviated though it remains uncertain due to the fact that the COVID-19 is not completely over. 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.

As we approach year-end, despite the challenges posed by COVID-19 around the world, we were still productive in the third quarter. Most importantly, after a lengthy process of preparation, the ‘300,000 government-accredited pure EV within 5 years rideshare’ program—of which Kandi was a co-founder-- has begun its trial with the gradual delivery of 1,000 EVs to the city of Haikou in Hainan province and 2,500 EVs to the city of Shaoxing in Zhejiang province. All the EVs delivered for the program include our battery swap feature. We believe that this program can drive the production and sales of our EV parts and battery swap equipment, and we can thus restore growth in our pure EV business.

The COVID-19 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 transferred all of its equity interest in Yongkang Scrou to Jinhua An Kao (changed name to Kandi Smart Battery Swap), and the work of listing Kandi Smart Battery Swap on Shanghai Stock Exchange’s STAR Board has been started.

The Company originally planned to export 2,000 to 5,000 units of 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 progress of clearance from relevant government agencies such as United States Environmental Protection Agency. As of the date of this report, it has received the required clearance from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its two electric vehicle (EV) models, the K23 and K27 via Certificates of Conformity. We are performing self-inspection comparing to the safety standards published by the United States Department of Transportation. We are also in the process of modifying features, upgrading the software and technology for the EVs to cater for our potential U.S. constomers. Thus, no units of electric vehicles have been sold in the U.S.

(a) Revenue

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, our revenue was $18,717,218 compared to $31,688,544 for the same period of 2019, representing a decrease of $12,971,326 or 40.9%. 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 three quarters of 2020.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2020 decreased 25.9% to $3,910,896, compared to $5,276,415 for the same period last year. This was primarily attributable to the sales decrease of EV Parts, which was primarily due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020. Our gross margin increased to 20.9% compared to 16.7% for the same period of 2019. The increase in our gross margin was mainly due to the sales under SC Autosports which has increased the unit price for the parts since the end of 2019.

(d) Research and development

Research and development expenses, including materials, labor, equipment depreciation, design, testing, inspection, and other related expenses, totaled $987,285 for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $391,098 or 65.6% compared to $596,187 for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly due to the R&D expense related to the technology upgrading of the Company’s products and new products development.

(e) Sales and marketing

Selling and distribution expenses were $2,165,383 for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $930,810 for the same period last year, representing an increase of $1,234,573 or 132.6%. The increase was primarily attributable to the increasing labor and advertising expenses in connection with the expansion the U.S. electric vehicle market.

(f) General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $3,212,209 for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $3,432,920 for the same period last year, representing a decrease of $220,711 or 6.4%. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, general and administrative expenses included $22,925 as expenses for common stock awards to employees and Board members, compared to $22,925 for the same period in 2019. Besides stock compensation expense, our net general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $3,189,284, representing a decrease of $220,711, from $3,409,995 for the same period of 2019, which was largely due to the implementation of cost cutting strategy and tighter budget control by the management.

(g) Gain on disposal of long-lived assets

Gain on disposal of long-lived assets was $76,159 for the third quarter of 2020, which was due to exchange rate difference.

(h) Interest income

Interest income was $558,059 for the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of $348,323 or 166.1% compared to $209,736 for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to increased interest earned on the loan to a third party.

The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was estimated at each reporting date by using the Monte Carlo simulation method, which took into account all possible scenarios.

(k) Government grants

Government grants were $13,431 for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $502,146 for the same quarter last year, representing a decrease of $488,715, or 97.3%, which was largely attributable to the subsidies received by Hainan factory in the third quarter of 2019 for its science and technology projects. There were no similar subsidies received in the third quarter in 2020.

(a) Revenue

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our revenue was $44,526,718 compared to $73,903,234 for the same period of 2019, representing a decrease of $29,376,516 or 39.7%. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the decrease in EV parts sales. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in China, the production of EV parts was interrupted during the first quarter of 2020, and the overall demand of EV parts from customers was significantly affected during the first three quarters of 2020.

Gross profit for the first three quarters of 2020 decreased 31.7% to $8,614,933, compared to $12,615,006 for the same period last year. This was primarily attributable to the sales decrease, which was primarily due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020. Our gross margin increased to 19.3% compared to 17.1% for the same period of 2019. The increase in our gross margin was mainly due to the sales under SC which has increased the unit price for the parts since end of 2019.

The increase was mainly due to the R&D expense related to the technology upgrading of the Company’s products and new products development.

(e) Sales and marketing

Selling and distribution expenses were $3,807,355 for the first three quarters of 2020, compared to $2,448,291 for the same period last year, representing an increase of $1,359,064 or 55.5%.

(g) Gain on disposal of long-lived assets

Gain on disposal of long-lived assets was $13,983,733 for the first three quarters of 2020, which was related to the real estate repurchase agreement of our Jinhua Facility’s relocation. In June 2020, 73,333 square meters of land use right was transferred to the local government, and the related gain was recognized.

(h) Interest income

Interest income was $1,118,795 for the first three quarters of 2020, representing an increase of $558,841 or 99.8% compared to $559,954 for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to increased interest earned on the loan to a third party.

The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was estimated at each reporting date by using the Monte Carlo simulation method, which took into account all possible scenarios.

(k) Government grants

Government grants were $111,329 for the first three quarters of 2020, compared to $725,189 for the same quarter last year, representing a decrease of $613,860, or 84.6%, which was largely attributable to the subsidies received by Hainan factory in the third quarter of 2019 for its science and technology projects. There were no similar subsidies received in the first three quarters of 2020.

(l) Gain from equity dilution in the Affiliate Company

Gain from equity dilution was $0 for the first three quarters of 2020, compared to $4,291,974 for the same period of last year, which was primarily due to gain from the conversion of the loan into equity in the Affiliate Company in March 2019. Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Affiliate Company converted a loan of RMB 314 million (approximately $44.3 million) from Geely Group to equity in order to increase its cash flow (for details please refer to Note 22 - EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT IN THE AFFILIATE COMPANY).

(m) Gain from sale of equity in the Affiliate Company

Gain from sale of equity was $0 for the first three quarters of 2020, compared to $20,574,217 for the same period of last year which was due to the Affiliate Equity Transfer. In March 2019, Kandi Vehicles agreed to sell 21.47% of its equity interests in the Affiliate Company to Geely for a total consideration of RMB 516 million (approximately $72.3 million).

Our actual effective income tax rate for the first three quarters of 2020 was a tax expense of 56.99% on a reported income before taxes of approximately $2.4 million, compared to a tax benefit of 13.05% on a reported income before taxes of approximately $0.3 million for the same period of last year.

This item is not applicable to us.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have evaluated, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of September 30, 2020. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

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

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Except as set forth in Note 23 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES under Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, our management is currently not aware of any legal matters or pending litigation that would have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operation of financial statements, nor is the Company aware of any other legal matters in which any director, officer, or any owner of record or beneficial owner of more than five percent of any class of voting securities of the Company, or any affiliate of any such director, officer, affiliate of the Company, or security holder, is a party adverse to the Company or has a material adverse interest to the Company. For the detailed discussion of our legal proceedings, please refer to Note 23 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES under Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The successful development of our U.S. EV markets depends on various factors.

On August 18, 2020, our subsidary in U.S., Kandi America held a virtual launch event to introduce the K23 and K27 EVs into the U.S. market. While it has received the required clearance from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its two electric vehicle (EV) models – the K23 and K27 – via Certificates of Conformity; the sale of such EVs into the U.S. market is conditioned upon the satisfaction of the safety standards set by the United States Department of Transportation and the completion of the feature modification, software and technology upgrades catering for our potentioal U.S. costomers. Thus, no units of electric vehicles have been sold in the U.S. There is no assurance all conditions for the sale of EVs in the U.S. could be satisifed as planned.

We have and may increasingly become a target for public scrutiny, including complaints to regulatory agencies, coverage, and malicious allegations, all of which could severely damage our reputation and materially and adversely affect our business, prospects and stock price.

We have been a target for public scrutiny, including complaints to regulatory agencies, coverage, and malicious allegations. For example, from 2013 to 2015, all the EVs we sold had the features of battery exchange, which exposed us to subsidies fraud investigation. Although we believe that these allegations are not true and the fact the Chinese government granted us subsidies after they completed investigation, negative publicity surrounding this incident had adversely affected our reputation.

In addition, we have adopted policies and procedures, specifically a Related Party Transactions Policy, to identify, review, consider and approve such conflicts of interest. In general, if an affiliate of a director, executive officer or significant stockholder, intends to engage in a transaction involving us, that director, executive officer or significant stockholder must report the transaction for consideration and approval by our audit committee and any such transactions have to be conducted at arms-length terms. We also follow the SEC regulations and the U.S. GAAP in reporting related party transactions. For example, under U.S. GAAP, it is permitted not to disclose a specific name of a major customer and/or supplier if they are not related parties to us. However, there are no assurances that negative media who may not have thorough understanding of the SEC disclosure rules and U.S. GAAP cast any incorrect critisizm on our disclosure.

From time to time, the allegations, regardless of their veracity, may result in consumer dissatisfaction, public protests or negative publicity, which could result in government inquiry or substantial harm to our brand, reputation, operations and stock price.

Moreover, as our business expands and grows, both organically and through acquisitions of and investments in other businesses, domestically and internationally, we may be exposed to heightened public scrutiny in jurisdictions where we already operate as well as in new jurisdictions where we may operate. There is no assurance that we would not become a target for regulatory or public scrutiny in the future or that scrutiny and public exposure would not severely damage our reputation as well as our business, prospects and stock price.

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 September 30, 2020, the Company 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. The Affiliate Company converted RMB 1.2 billion of the debt due from Zhejiang ZuoZhongYou Automobile Service Co., Ltd (“ZuoZhongYou”) into 85% of its equity interest. ZuoZhongYou is under common control with the Affiliate Company by Geely. On August 28, 2020. There was about RMB 97.2 million of difference between the carrying value of the debt of RMB 1.2 billion and the carrying value of ZuoZhongYou’s net asset at the transaction date.
