 Introduction
 
 On June 29, 2007, Stone Mountain Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Stone Mountain”) executed a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Continental Development Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Continental”) and Excelvantage Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands Company which owned 100% of Continental (the “Continental Shareholder”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Stone Mountain issued 12,000,000 shares of its common stock to the Continental Shareholder, in exchange for 100% of the common stock of Continental. After the closing of the Exchange Agreement, Stone Mountain had a total of 19,961,000 shares of common stock outstanding, with the Continental Shareholder owning 60.12% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Stone Mountain’s common stock, and the remaining shares outstanding were held by those who held shares of Stone Mountain’s common stock prior to the closing.
 
 As a result of this transaction, Continental became a wholly owned subsidiary of Stone Mountain. Thereafter, the business of the Company was that of Continental’s wholly owned subsidiary, Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd. On August 13, 2007, we changed our name from Stone Mountain Resources, Inc. to Kandi Technologies, Corp.
 
 Stone Mountain was a public shell company prior to the closing of the Exchange Agreement. Stone Mountain was originally incorporated on March 31, 2004 in the State of Delaware, and operated as a gold exploration company exploring Nevada mineral properties before ceasing operations in May 30, 2007.
 
 Stone Mountain Resources, Inc. (“Stone Mountain”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 31, 2004. On August 13, 2007, Stone Mountain Resources, Inc. changed its name to Kandi Technologies, Corp. (“Kandi” or the “Company”).
 
 On June 29, 2007, pursuant to the share exchange agreement between Stone Mountain Resources, Inc., Continental Development Limited, (“Continental”) and Excelvantage (Continental’s sole shareholder), Stone Mountain issued 12,000,000 shares of its common stock to Excelvantage, in exchange for 100% of the common stock of Continental. As a result of the share exchange, Continental became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stone Mountain. Kandi Technologies, Corp. conducts its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary, Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co. Ltd., a People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) company.
 
 On June 24, 2008 the Company closed its acquisition of 100% of the shares of Kandi Special Vehicles Co., Ltd (“KSV”), after which KSV became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 “Business Combinations.” The consolidated statements of income include the results of operations of KSV at the date of acquisition. On March 10, 2009, KSV changed its name to Kandi New Energy Vehicles Co., Ltd, (“KNE”). On June 11, 2009, KNE changed its name back to KSV.
 
 On May 9, 2008, the Company sold Zhejiang Yongkang Top Import & Export Co., Ltd. (“Dingji”), a subsidiary of the Company, to certain individuals.
 
 On December 31, 2010, Jinhua Three Parties New Energy Vehicles Service Co., ltd. (“Jinhua Service”) was formed by joint venture with State Grid Power Corporation, Tianneng Power International, Inc. and Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd. to establish the first China electric super-mini automobiles battery replacement services. The Company owns 30% of Jinhua Service.

 The table above reflects the 2009 unit sales in categories different from those used in our 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  We have moved certain models of our vehicles from one category to another because we concluded that, given the configuration and properties of the vehicles and the ways in which the markets for our products are developing, the categories we have utilized in the table above better reflect our performance in the several vehicle product lines in which we compete.  We have fully explained the changes in revenue presentation from the 2009 10-K to this 2010 10-K in a report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 16, 2011.

 Off-Road Vehicles
 
 In 2003 Kandi began mass production of go-karts. The Company is now one of the leading manufacturers of go-karts in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Kandi produces a wide range of go-karts, from the 90cc class to the 1,000cc class in cylinder displacement. Kandi also produces four-wheeled all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and specialized utility vehicles (UTVs), which are ATVs special-fitted for agricultural and industrial use.
 
 Revenues from our ATVs experienced a significant increase of $696,622, or 23%, in year 2010 over the comparable fiscal years, which was attributable to 29.9% increase in the average unit price from $488 in 2009 to $633 in 2010.  During the fiscal year 2010, because the Company successfully developed several new competitive models, which are relatively high end and with higher than average unit prices. Therefore, although the unit sales decreased 5.2%, the revenue still increased 23% compared to fiscal year 2009.
 
 In 2010, our Go-Karts experienced a significant increase in revenue of $13.9 million or 120% over the fiscal year 2009, which was mainly attributable to a 121% increase in unit sales from 12,829 units in 2009 to 28,366 units in 2010.  In year 2010, the improved market conditions, which benefited from the world economic recovery from the financial crisis, created a large increase in demand, especially demand for middle and small size products, which had been suppressed during the financial crisis.
 
 Revenues from our three-wheeled motorcycle (TT) dropped by $0.2 million, or 8.8%, from fiscal year 2009 to 2010, which was attributable to a decrease in unit sales of 30% from 1,313 units in 2009 to 917 units in 2010. In year 2010, the Company modified the model 250MB2, and increased its performance. As a result, the Company increased its unit price in 2010. As the main product of our TT product line, the price increase of model 250MB2 caused the average unit price of TT products to increase by 30.6% in year 2010. During fiscal year 2010, unit sales of 250MB2 remained stable; however, unit sales of other models decreased, which caused the total sales to dropped in general.
 
 Utility vehicles (UTVs) experienced a significant decrease in revenues from $8,477,828 to $4,839,256. This 43% decrease is due to a 11.8% decrease in average unit price and a 35% drop in unit sales from 3,508 units in 2009 to 2,270 units in 2010. This significant drop is primarily because more competitors entered the UTV market in year 2010 after the UTV market recorded high profit in year 2009. Because of the high competition in this UTV market, the Company has reduced its price to maintain its competitive position. However, the severe competition still caused the Company to experience a significant sales drop in UTV products in year 2010.
 
 Mini-Car Products
 
 The global market potential for all-electric vehicles has been forecasted to reach up to 30 million units by 2015, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM). Governments such as China and the United States are beginning to see the important benefits pure Electric Vehicles bring to the environment as they approve subsidies for EV purchasers and manufacturers. Recent goals from both the Chinese and U.S. governments have included an annual production capacity of 500,000 alternative-energy vehicles by 2011 and 1,000,000 alternative-energy cars on the road by 2015, respectively.
 
 Kandi began sales of its gas-powered Super-mini car, CoCo, in August 2008. The first generation  CoCo was designed for local neighborhood driving, with a 250cc single cylinder, 4-stroke water-cooled engine with a top speed of 25 mph, achieving 60 mpg. In 2009, the Company launched the battery powered all-electric CoCo. The electric CoCo (EV) is designed to achieve a top speed of 25 mph, and will have a driving range of 80 miles on a single full charge.
 
 In 2010, revenues from our Super-mini car, which is known as the pure Electric Vehicle (EV) in China and CoCo elsewhere, dropped significantly by $1.7 million, or 20% from 2009, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in unit sales of 23% from 2,102 units in 2009 to 1,618 units in 2010. In fiscal year 2010, the Company modified some models by equipping them with lithium batteries, and consequently increased their unit prices. Therefore, although the Company reduced the sale prices for some old models, the introduction of the vehicles equipped with lithium batteries increased the average unit price 4.2% from $4,034 in 2009 to $4,203 in 2010.
 
 In fiscal year 2010, because the Chinese government is promoting the new energy cars, the Company shifted its focus market from the United States to China for the EV products. In the U.S market, the U.S. government subsidiary to electric powered cars is lower, which has affected EV’s sales revenues in the U.S market. At the same time, however the Chinese market needs time to develop. As a result, total sales dropped in year 2010 for the EV products. However, the Company expects significant growth in the sales of the pure Electric Vehicles in China and expects to expand the product line in the near term.
  3
 
 The Company ceased production of the Mini Pick-Up in 2009 and sold only one specially-manufactured vehicle in 2009. In year 2010, no Mini Pick-Up was sold.
 
 The following table shows the breakdown of Kandi’s revenues from its customers by geographic markets based on the location of the distributors during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

 For the year ended December 31, 2010, sales to North America and sales to Europe increased in terms of volume. However, the percentage of those two markets as a percentage of total sales did not change significantly, which reflects the fact that the Company is expanding in all markets. In the year 2011, we expect continued sales growth in those regions, especially in China.  For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, about 95% of sales to China are sales to Chinese export agents, who resell the Company’s products to North America, Europe, and other regions.
 
 Development Activities
 
 In recent years, an increased focus of the Company has been on the development of products for its domestic market in China, particularly battery powered all electric super-mini automobiles (EVs).  In November, 2009, the Company sold 30 specially designed low speed EVs to the Postal Service in Jinhua, and in July, 2010, the Company announced that it received an order from the Postal Service in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, for 60 all electric vehicles.
 
 On January 4, 2010, the Company announced that it formed an alliance with major Chinese energy, IT and battery companies to help launch a new business model for the mass commercialization of EVs to be expanded on a city by city basis, addressing key concerns relating to EVs, including high purchase costs, limited driving ranges and convenience and safety matters with respect to the charging, maintenance and disposal of batteries.  Under this new business model, consumer costs will be reduced as a result of government cooperation and subsidies, and driving ranges will be extended through the construction of “battery farms” which will allocate power to a network of “express change” battery stations where batteries may be rented and exchanged utilizing Kandi technology.  Central to the new business strategy, batteries will be made available on a rental basis separate from the sale of each vehicle.  An initial goal of the Alliance is the establishment of a revolutionary comprehensive model EV city in Jinhua to be followed by other model cities in Zhejiang Province with the assistance and participation of the local and regional governments.  The core members of the alliance with the Company are China Potevio/CNOOC New Energy and Power Ltd. (a joint venture between China National Offshore Oil Corporation and China Potevio Co.) and Tianneng Power International, Ltd.
 
 In April, 2010, the Company announced that it anticipated that local and regional government funded subsidies for up to 50% of the purchase price of EVs would be made available to the first 3,000 purchasers of the Company’s EVs in the Jinhua EV model city.
 
 Most significantly, on April 30, 2010, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information and Technology qualified the Company’s low speed vehicle (KD5020X) for China’s energy conserving and new energy projects.   The vehicle was placed on its list of vehicles in its 10th catalogue of recommended car types which meet requirements for sales to the public.  On June 1, 2010, the Chinese Ministry of Finance (MOF) announced planned trial subsidies for China’s EV and hybrid car manufacturers of up to RMB 60,000 and RMB 50,000 (about $9,000 and $7,500), respectively, as part of an effort to stimulate purchases of these vehicles to help reduce emissions and gasoline consumption.  Additionally, the announcement indicated there will be government investment and policy support for EV infrastructure, such as battery charging stations.  The announcement noted that the trial will be initiated in five Chinese cities: Shanghai, Hangzhou, Changchun, Shenzen and Hefei.  On June 21, 2010, the Company announced that another EV product, Model KD 5010XXYEV, was also approved for sale in China, and this will likely be the primary model available to the EV buyers in China.
 4
 
 On July 16, 2010, the Company announced that construction of the first battery charging station was underway in Jinhua.  The State Grid Corporation of China, China’s largest electric power and transmission company, is funding the project and is responsible for construction, which is completed in November of 2010.
 
 On October 5, 2010, the Company announced a joint venture with a subsidiary of China’s largest power transmission company, State Grid Power Corporation, and China’s leading lead motive battery maker, Tianneng Power International, Inc., to establish the first China EV battery replacement services Company.  Kandi’s 30% share of this Company is expected to provide an additional new revenue stream for Kandi’s  EVand recreational vehicles product lines.
 
 On November 26, the Company opened Jinhua City’s first “Battery Charging Farm” and “Express Change” battery station for Kandi’s pure EVs and launched consumer EV sales in Jinhua. The Company immediately sold out the first 20 EVs available in Jinhua on the day of launch with the anticipated local subsidies. This marks the beginning of commercial sales of pure EV car in China.
 
 On December 13, 2010, the Company announced it is making efforts to develop its “Express Change” EV model and EV sales in a second city — the nearby major metropolis of Hangzhou. Hangzhou, less than 80 miles from the Company’s home base in Jinhua, is the capital city of Zhejiang province where the Company locates.  Hangzhou is one of the five original pilot cities selected by the Chinese government to be eligible for national subsidies to promote the sale of new energy vehicles and has grasped the opportunity by taking several significant related initiatives. These include announcing plans for a variety of additional locally funded subsidies to be paid directly to renters and buyers of pure EVs (up to $9000 or RMB 60,000) and hybrid vehicles (up to $7500 or RMB 50,000).  Additionally, the local government in Hangzhou has announced plans to build a network of EV infrastructure to serve the more than 8.1 million residents of this large (6,505 square miles) and very prosperous (per capita GDP $10,972) city. The city has announced it intends to build four centralized battery charging stations, 38 changing stations, 145 distribution centers and 3,500 sets of charging poles to support both hybrid and pure EV sales. To better promote the sales of pure EVs in Hangzhou, the Company also opened a new corporate office.
 
 On December 17, 2010, the Company announced it has expanded its “Express Change” Pure EV line with the development of a new lithium ion battery powered model, the KD5011. The Company also confirmed that with its appearance on the Vehicle Manufacturers and Products List published by the Ministry of Industry and Information China, the new KD5011 is eligible for national subsidies of up to RMB 60,000 (US$9,000) per vehicle in all “pilot” cities designated as such to date by the Chinese government. The new KD5011 EV operates with “Express Change” lithium ion (lithium iron phosphate) batteries which, like the Company’s KD5010, can be safely and quickly replaced by professionals in authorized “Express Change” battery stations. In the Kandi EV model, Pure EVs are sold without batteries to effectively lower the consumer purchase price and eliminate battery maintenance and charging responsibilities, and “Express Change” stations are positioned throughout a city to extend the vehicles’ driving range. As compared with the KD5010 currently manufactured by the Company, which operates with lead-acid rechargeable batteries and has a driving range of 100-150 km per charge, the driving range per charge of the new KD5011 is increased to up to 200-230 km.
 
 Sales and Distribution
 
 Kandi’s sales are made through third-party distributors, which distribute Kandi’s products to local wholesalers and retail dealers. Worldwide, Kandi sells its products through ten main independent distributors for off-road vehicles.
  5
 
 Components and Parts, Raw Materials and Sources of Supply
 
 Kandi manufactures the frames of its vehicles and assembles the vehicles in its factory in Jinhua, China.  Other components and parts, such as engines, shock absorbers, electrical equipment and tires, are purchased from numerous suppliers.  The principal raw materials used by Kandi are steel plate, aluminum, special steels, steel tubes, paints, and plastics, which are purchased from several local suppliers.  The most important raw material purchased is steel plate. There is only one supplier who accounted for more than 5% of the Company’s purchases of major components and parts and principal raw materials during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Kandi does not have and does not anticipate having any difficulty in obtaining its required materials from suppliers and considers its contracts and business relations with the suppliers to be satisfactory.
 
 Seasonality
 
 Kandi’s Super-mini car, motorcycle and off-road vehicle businesses have historically experienced some seasonality.  However, this seasonality has not generally been material to our financial results.
 
 Competition
 
 The global small vehicle markets and new energy vehicle markets are highly competitive. Competition in such markets is based upon a number of factors, including price, quality, reliability, styling, product features and warranties. As a relatively new entrant into the market, many of our competitors are more diversified and have financial and marketing resources that are substantially greater than those of Kandi.
 
 Employees
 
 As of December 31, 2010, Kandi had a total of 475 full time employees. None of our employees are represented by any collective bargaining agreements.
 
 Environmental and Safety Regulation
 
 Emissions
 
 The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) have adopted emissions regulations applicable to Kandi’s products. CARB has emissions regulations for ATVs and off-road vehicles which the Company already meets. In October 2002, the EPA established new corporate average emission standards effective for model years 2006 through 2012 for non-road recreational vehicles, including ATVs and off-road vehicles.
 
 Kandi’s motorcycles are also subject to EPA and CARB emission standards. Kandi believes that its motorcycles have always complied with these standards. The CARB regulations required additional motorcycle emission reductions in model year 2008 which the Company met. The EPA adopted the CARB emission limits in a January 2004 rule that allows an additional two model years to meet these new CARB emission requirements on a nationwide basis.
 
 Kandi’s products are also subject to international laws and regulations related to emissions in places where it sells its products outside the United States. Europe currently regulates emissions from certain of the Company’s ATV-based products, motorcycles, and mini-cars and the Company meets these requirements. Canada’s emission regulations for motorcycles are similar to those in the U.S. In December 2006 Canada proposed a new regulation that would essentially adopt the U.S. emission standards for ATVs and off-road vehicles. These regulations became effective in 2009 and the Company meets this standard.
  6
 
 Kandi believes that its off-road vehicles, motorcycles and Super-mini cars have always complied with applicable emission standards and related regulations in the United States and internationally. Kandi is unable to predict the ultimate impact of the adopted or proposed regulations on Kandi and its business.
 
 Use regulation
 
 State and federal laws and regulations have been promulgated or are under consideration relating to the use or manner of use of Kandi’s products. Some states and localities have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, legislation and local ordinances which restrict the use of ATVs and off-road vehicles to specified hours and locations. The federal government also has restricted the use of ATVs and off-road vehicles in some national parks and federal lands. In several instances this restriction has been a ban on the recreational use of these vehicles. Kandi is unable to predict the outcome of such actions or the possible effect on its business. Kandi believes that its business would be no more adversely affected than those of its competitors by the adoption of any pending laws or regulations.
 
 Product Safety and Regulation
 
 Safety Regulation
 
 The federal government and individual states have promulgated or are considering promulgating laws and regulations relating to the use and safety of Kandi’s products. The federal government is the primary regulator of product safety. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) has federal oversight over product safety issues related to ATVs and off-road vehicles. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) has federal oversight over product safety issues related to on-road motorcycles.
 
 In August 2008, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (the “Act”) was passed. The Act includes a provision that requires all manufacturers and distributors who import into or distribute ATVs in the United States to comply with the ANSI/SVIA safety standards which were previously voluntary. The Act also requires the same manufacturers and distributors to have ATV action plans filed with the CPSC that are substantially similar to the voluntary action plans that were previously in effect. Kandi currently complies with the ANSI/SVIA standard.
 
 Kandi’s motorcycles are subject to federal vehicle safety standards administered by NHTSA. Kandi’s motorcycles are also subject to various state vehicle safety standards. Kandi believes that its motorcycles have always complied with safety standards relevant to motorcycles.
 
 Kandi’s products are also subject to international standards related to safety in places where it sells its products outside the United States. Kandi believes that its motorcycles and Super-mini cars have always complied with applicable safety standards in the United States and internationally.

 Item 1A. Risk Factors.
 
 You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this report before making an investment decision with regard to our securities.  The statements contained in or incorporated into this annual report on Form 10-K that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements.  If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
 
 Risks Relating to Our Overall Business Operations
 
 Our limited operating history may not serve as an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.
 
 We have a limited operating history because we have only been in operation since 2003.  This limited operating history, and the unpredictability of the machinery production industry, makes it difficult for investors to evaluate our businesses and predict future operating results. An investor in our securities must consider the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in new and rapidly evolving markets.  The risks and difficulties we face include challenges in accurate financial planning as a result of limited historical data and the uncertainties resulting from having had a relatively limited time period in which to implement and evaluate our business strategies as compared to older companies with longer operating histories.
 
 We may not be able to comply with all applicable government regulations.
 
 We are subject to extensive governmental regulation by the central, regional and local authorities in the PRC, where our business operations take place. We believe that we are currently in substantial compliance with all laws and governmental regulations and that we have all material permits and licenses required for our operations. Nevertheless, we cannot assure investors that we will continue to be in substantial compliance with current laws and regulations, or that we will be able to comply with any future laws and regulations. To the extent that new regulations are adopted, we will be required to conform our activities in order to comply with such regulations. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject us to civil remedies, including fines, injunctions, recalls or seizures, as well as potential criminal sanctions, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, operations and finances.
 
 Compliance with environmental regulations can be expensive, and noncompliance with these regulations may result in adverse publicity and potentially significant monetary damages and fines.
 
 Our business operations generate noise, waste water, and gaseous and other industrial wastes. We are required to comply with all national and local regulations regarding protection of the environment. We are in compliance with current environmental protection requirements and have all necessary environmental permits to conduct our business. However, if more stringent regulations are adopted in the future, the costs of compliance with these new regulations could be substantial. Additionally, if we fail to comply with present or future environmental regulations, we may be required to pay substantial fines, suspend production or cease operations. Any failure by us to control the use of or to restrict adequately the discharge of, hazardous substances could subject us to potentially significant monetary damages and fines or suspensions in our business operations. Certain laws, ordinances and regulations could limit our ability to develop, use, or sell our products.
  8
 
 Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our executive officers, and our business may be severely disrupted if we lose their services.
 
 Our future success depends substantially on the continued services of our executive officers, especially our CEO and President, Mr. Hu Xiaoming. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our executive officers.  Although this possibility is low, if any of our executive officers are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them readily, if at all.  Therefore, our business may be severely disrupted, and we may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain new officers.  In addition, if any of our executives joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose some of our customers.
 
 We may be subject to product liability claims, recalls or warranty claims, which could be expensive, damage our reputation and result in a diversion of management resources.
 
 The Company may be subject to lawsuits resulting from injuries associated with the use of the vehicles that it sells. The Company may incur losses relating to these claims or the defense of these claims. There is a risk that claims or liabilities will exceed our insurance coverage. In addition, the Company may be unable to retain adequate liability insurance in the future.
 
 The Company may also be required to participate in recalls involving our vehicles if any prove to be defective, or we may voluntarily initiate a recall or make payments related to such claims as a result of various industry or business practices or the need to maintain good customer relationships. Such a recall would result in a diversion of resources. While we do maintain product liability insurance, we cannot assure you that it will be sufficient to cover all product liability claims, that such claims will not exceed our insurance coverage limits or that such insurance will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Any product liability claim brought against us could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
 
 Risks Relating to Our Vehicle Machinery Production Operations
 
 We may be subject to significant potential liabilities as a result of defects in production and product liability.
 
 Through our machinery production operations, we may be subject to claims of product defects and/or product liability arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims are common to the machinery production industry and can be costly.
 
 With respect to certain general liability exposures, including manufacturing defect and product liability, interpretation of underlying current and future trends, assessment of claims and the related liability and reserve estimation process is highly subjective due to the complex nature of these exposures, with each exposure exhibiting unique circumstances. Furthermore, once claims are asserted for construction defects, it is difficult to determine the extent to which the assertion of these claims will expand geographically. We may not have sufficient funds available to cover any liability for damages, the cost of repairs, and/or the expense of litigation surrounding such claims, and future claims may arise out of events or circumstances not covered by insurance and not subject to effective indemnification agreements with our subcontractors.
 
 The Company and its subsidiary Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Vehicles”) are defendants in two lawsuits alleging product defects as described below at “Legal Proceedings”. While the Company and Kandi Vehicles have denied liability and will vigorously defend the lawsuits, and the Company believes it has no liability, an adverse decision could have a material adverse affect on the Company.
  9
 
 The vehicle machinery industry is highly competitive and we are subject to risks relating to competition that may adversely affect our performance.
 
 The vehicle machinery industry is highly competitive, and our continued success depends upon our ability to compete effectively in markets that contain numerous competitors, some of which have significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we have. Competition may reduce our pricing structures, potentially causing us to lower our prices, which may adversely impact our profits. New or existing competition that uses a business model that is different from our business model may put pressure on us to change our model so that we can remain competitive.
 
 Our high concentration of sales to relatively few customers may result in significant uncollectible accounts receivable exposure, which may adversely impact our liquidity, business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
 At December 31, 2010, the first two customers aggressively accounted for 81% and 81%, respectively, of our sales and accounts receivable. Due to the concentration of sales to relatively few customers, we face credit exposure from our customers and may experience uncollectible receivables from these customers should they face financial difficulties. If these customers fail to pay their accounts receivable, file for bankruptcy or significantly reduce their purchases of our programming, it would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity.

 Our business is subject to the risk of supplier concentrations.
 
 We depend on a limited number of suppliers for the sourcing of major components and parts and principal raw materials. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, one supplier accounted for 84% and 80% of our purchases, respectively. As a result of this concentration in our supply chain, our business and operations would be negatively affected if any of our key suppliers were to experience significant disruption affecting the price, quality, availability or timely delivery of their products. The partial or complete loss of these suppliers, or a significant adverse change in our relationship with any of these suppliers, could result in lost revenue, added costs and distribution delays that could harm our business and customer relationships. In addition, concentration in our supply chain can exacerbate our exposure to risks associated with the termination by key suppliers of our distribution agreements or any adverse change in the terms of such agreements, which could have a negative impact on our revenues and profitability.

 General economic conditions may negatively impact our results.
 
 The consumption of entertainment products, such as go-karts, and Super-mini cars depends on continued economic growth. Although there are more and more signs of economy recovery, the uncertainty of the current economic environment remains. Moderate or severe economic downturns or adverse conditions may negatively affect our operations. These conditions may be widespread or isolated to one or more geographic regions. A tightening of the labor markets in one or more geographic regions may result in fewer qualified applicants for job openings in our facilities. Higher wages, related labor costs and other increasing cost trends may negatively impact our results.
 
 Risks Related to Doing Business in China
 
 Changes in political and economic conditions may affect our business operations and profitability.
 
 Since our business operations are primarily located in China, our business operations and financial position are subject, to a significant degree, to the economic, political and legal developments in China.
 
 China’s government started implementing its economic reform policy in 1978, which enabled China’s economy to gradually transform from a “planned economy” to a “socialist market economy.” In 1993, the concept of the socialist market economy was introduced into the Constitution of China, and the country has since experienced accelerated development of a market economy. A noteworthy recent phenomenon is that non-state owned enterprises, such as private enterprises, play an increasingly important role in the Chinese economy and the degree of direct control by the PRC government over the economy is gradually declining.
 
 While the Chinese government has not halted its economic reform policy since 1978, any significant adverse changes in the social, political and economic conditions of China may fundamentally impact China’s economic reform policies, and thus the Company’s operations and profits may be adversely affected.
 
 Change in tax laws and regulations in China may affect our business operations.
 
 Various tax reform policies have been implemented in the PRC in recent years. However, there can be no assurance that the existing tax laws and regulations will not be revised or amended in the future.
 11
 
 Uncertainties with respect to the Chinese legal system could have a material adverse effect on us and may restrict the level of legal protections to foreign investors.
 
 China’s legal system is based on statutory law. Unlike the common law system, statutory law is based primarily on written statutes. Previous court decisions may be cited as persuasive authority but do not have a binding effect. Since 1979, the PRC government has been promulgating and amending the laws and regulations regarding economic matters, such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade.  However, since these laws and regulations are relatively new, and the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretation of many laws, regulations and rules is not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to us.
 
 In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and may result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. The legal system in China cannot provide investors with the same level of protection as in the U.S. The Company is governed by the law and regulations generally applicable to local enterprises in China. Many of these laws and regulations were recently introduced and remain experimental in nature and subject to changes and refinements. Interpretation, implementation and enforcement of the existing laws and regulations can be uncertain and unpredictable and therefore may restrict the legal protections of foreign investors.
 
 Changes in Currency Conversion Policies in China may have a material adverse effect on us.
 
 Renminbi (“RMB”) is still not a freely exchangeable currency. Since 1998, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of China has promulgated a series of circulars and rules in order to enhance verification of foreign exchange payments under a Chinese entity’s current account items, and has imposed strict requirements on borrowing and repayments of foreign exchange debts from and to foreign creditors under the capital account items and on the creation of foreign security in favor of foreign creditors.
 
 This may complicate foreign exchange payments to foreign creditors under the current account items and thus will affect the ability to borrow under international commercial loans, the creation of foreign security, and the borrowing of RMB under guarantees in foreign currencies. Furthermore, the value of RMB may become subject to supply and demand, which could be largely impacted by international economic and political environments.  Any fluctuations in the exchange rate of RMB could have an adverse effect on the operational and financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries in China.
 
 You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions based on United States or other foreign laws against us, our management or the experts named in the prospectus.
 
 We conduct substantially all of our operations in China and substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition, almost all of our senior executive officers reside in China. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon our senior executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. Moreover, our PRC counsel has advised us that the PRC does not have treaties with the United States or many other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgment of courts.

  Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Securities
 
 Our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our shareholders.
 
 The stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market and NASDAQ Global Market have been volatile in the past and have experienced sharp share price and trading volume changes. Although our stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, the trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many factors, including the following, some of which are beyond our control:
 
 ●
variations in our operating results;
 
 ●
changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;
 
 ●
changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry;
 
 ●
additions or departures of key personnel; and
 
 ●
future sales of our common stock.
 
 Domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions unrelated to our performance, may adversely affect the price of our common stock.
 
 One stockholder owns a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock, which may enable this stockholder to influence many significant corporate actions.
 
 Excelvantage Group Limited controls approximately 43.8% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of December 31, 2010. As a result, Excelvantage Group Limited could have a substantial impact on matters requiring the vote of the shareholders, including the election of our directors and most corporate actions. This control could delay, defer or prevent others from initiating a potential merger, takeover or other change in our control, even if these actions would benefit our other shareholders and the Company. This control could adversely affect the voting and other rights of our other shareholders and could depress the market price of our common stock.
 
 Our common shares may become thinly traded and you may be unable to sell your shares readily
 
 We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for trading our common stock will be sustained. Although our trading volume has increased gradually in recent years, our stock has historically been sporadic or “thinly-traded,” meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent.
  13
  This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community who generate or influence sales volume.  Even if we came to the attention of such persons, those persons tend to be risk-averse and may be reluctant to follow, purchase, or recommend the purchase of shares of an unproven company such as ours until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.
 
 The market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small company, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.
 
 Substantial exercise of warrants could adversely affect our stock price or our ability to raise additional financing in the public capital markets.
 
 As of December 31, 2010, there are 2,827,975 shares of warrants outstanding. If the warrant holders exercise the warrants and sell a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the future, or if investors perceive that these sales may occur, the market price of our Common Stock could decline or market demand for our Common Stock could be sharply reduced. The exercise of warrants and subsequent sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock could also adversely affect demand for, and the market price of, our Common Stock. Each of these transactions could adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing by issuing equity or equity-based securities in the public capital markets.
 
 Antidilution and other provisions in the warrants issued to the investors may also adversely affect our stock price or our ability to raise additional financing.
 
 The warrants issued to the institutional holders described above contain antidilution provisions that provide for adjustment of the warrant exercise price, and the number of shares issuable under the warrants, upon the occurrence of certain events. If we issue shares of our Common Stock, or securities convertible into our Common Stock, at prices below the exercise price, as applicable, the warrant exercise price will be reduced and the number of shares issuable under the warrant will be increased. The amount of such adjustment if any, will be determined pursuant to a formula specified in the warrants and will depend on the number of shares issued and the offering price of the subsequent issuance of securities. Adjustments to the warrant pursuant to these antidilution provisions may result in significant dilution to the interests of our existing stockholders and may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. The antidilution provisions may also limit our ability to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us.
  14
 
 Moreover, we may not realize any cash proceeds from the exercise of some warrants. A holder of the warrant may opt for a cashless exercise of all or part of the warrant under certain circumstances. In a cashless exercise, the holder of the warrant would make no cash payment to us, and would receive a number of shares of our common stock having an aggregate value equal to the excess of the then-current market price of the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant over the exercise price of the warrant. Such an issuance of common stock would be immediately dilutive to the interests of other stockholders.
 
 We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to our common shareholders.
 
 We presently do not anticipate that we will pay dividends on any of our common stock in the foreseeable future. If payment of dividends does occur at some point in the future, it would be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any common stock dividends will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors. We presently intend to retain all earnings after paying the interest for the preferred stock, if any, to implement our business plan; accordingly, we do not anticipate the declaration of any dividends for common stock in the foreseeable future.
 
 Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on your investment.
 
 The change in value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar, the Euro and other currencies is affected by changes in China’s political and economic conditions, among other things. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in approximately 2.1% appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar. While the international reaction to the RMB revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. As a portion of our costs and expenses is denominated in RMB, the revaluation in July 2005 and potential future revaluation has and could further increase our costs. In addition, any significant revaluation of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from financings into RMB for our operations, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount we receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.
 
 If the Company were to be delisted from NASDAQ, our common stock could be subject to “penny stock” rules which could negatively impact our liquidity and our shareholders’ ability to sell their shares.
 
 Our common stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ Global Market. We must comply with numerous NASDAQ Market Place rules in order to maintain the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ. There can be no assurance that we can continue to meet the requirements to maintain the NASDAQ listing of our common stock. If we are unable to maintain our listing on NASDAQ, the market liquidity of our common stock may be severely limited.
 15
 
 Volatility in Our Common Share Price May Subject Us to Securities Litigation.
 
 The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility as compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.
 
 The Elimination of Monetary Liability Against our Directors, Officers and Employees under Delaware law and the Existence of Indemnification Rights of our Directors, Officers and Employees May Result in Substantial Expenditures by our Company and may Discourage Lawsuits Against our Directors, Officers and Employees.
 
 Our articles of incorporation do not contain any specific provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our company and shareholders; however, we are prepared to give such indemnification to our directors and officers to the extent provided for by Delaware law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our employment agreements with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders.
 
 Past Activities Of Stone Mountain and Our Affiliates May Lead to Future Liability.
 
 Prior to Stone Mountain entering into the share exchange agreement with Continental on June 29, 2007, Stone Mountain engaged in businesses unrelated to our current operations. Any liabilities relating to such prior business against which we are not completely indemnified may have a material adverse effect on us.
 
 We may need additional capital, and the sale of additional shares or other equity securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders.
 
 On January 21, 2010, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold to these investors $10 million of senior secured convertible notes and warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 1,379,147 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2010, $9,999,000 senior secured convertible notes have been converted to common stock.
 
 On December 21, 2010, we agreed to sell to certain institutional investors up to 3,027,272 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to 1,210,912 shares of common stock.
 
 As of December 31, 2010, all the warrants mentioned above have not been exercised. The exercise of these warrants will result in dilution.
  16
 
 In the future, we may require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
 
 Our business is subject to changing regulations related to corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both our costs and the risk of noncompliance.
 
 Because our common stock is publicly traded, we are subject to certain rules and regulations of federal, state and financial market exchange entities charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. These entities, including the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the SEC and NASDAQ, have issued requirements and regulations and continue to develop additional regulations and requirements in response to corporate scandals and laws enacted by Congress, most notably the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our efforts to comply with these regulations have resulted in, and are likely to continue resulting in, increased general and administrative expenses and diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. Because new and modified laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to our disclosure and governance practices.

 Item 2. Properties.
 
 All land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to or owned  by any individual or entity. Instead, the government grants or allocates landholders a “land use right.” There are four methods to acquire land use rights:
 
 ●
grant of the right to use land;
 
 ●
assignment of the right to use land;
 
 ●
lease of the right to use land; and
 
 ●
allocated land use rights
 
 In comparison with Western common law concepts, granted land use rights are similar to life estates and allocated land use rights are in some ways similar to leaseholds.
 
 Granted land use rights are provided by the government in exchange for a grant fee, and carry the rights to pledge, mortgage, lease, and transfer within the term of the grant. Land is granted for a fixed term - generally 70 years for residential use, 50 years for industrial use, and 40 years for commercial and other use. The term is renewable in theory. Unlike the usual case in Western nations, granted land must be used for the specific purpose for which it was granted.
 
 Allocated land use rights are generally provided by the government for an indefinite period (usually to state-owned entities) and cannot be pledged, mortgaged, leased, or transferred by the user. Furthermore, allocated land can be reclaimed by the government at any time. Allocated land use rights may be converted into granted land use rights upon the payment of a grant fee to the government.
 
 Kandi has the following granted land use rights:

 Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
 
 There are two lawsuits currently pending in Ripley County, Missouri against the Company and its subsidiary Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd.(“Kandi Vehicles”), Kandi Investment Group, SunL and other parties, and they are related to two persons who died in an accident on March 3, 2006 while operating a go-cart allegedly manufactured by the Kandi Vehicles.  Kandi Investment Group was a major shareholder of Kandi Vehicles but it transferred all its equity in Kandi Vehicles to Continental Development Limited in November 2006. Since then, Kandi Investment Group has been unrelated to the Company or its affiliates.
 
 The cases were filed in 2009 and are known as Elder vs. SunL Group and Griffen vs. SunL Group. In March, 2010, the local trial court entered two default judgments in the amount of $20,000,000 each against Kandi Vehicles (a subsidiary of the Company), Kandi Investment and other parties. No default judgment was entered against Kandi Technologies, Corp. The lawsuit and default judgments didn’t come to the Company’s or Kandi Vehicles’ attention until May or June 2010. The Company had not been served or notified of the lawsuits and learned of their existence and of the default judgment in the course of commercial discussions with another of the defendants in the cases. Currently, the Company and Kandi Vehicles have filed answers to the complaint denying any culpability. The Company also moved for the default judgments against Kandi Vehicles to be set aside and on February 28, 2011, the Judge granted that motion and in the docket entry noted that the motion was granted because the court had no jurisdiction due to plaintiff’s failing to obtain service on Kandi Vehicles. On March 3, 2011, the plaintiffs appealed this order vacating the default judgments. The court of appeals thereafter ordered the plaintiff to show cause by April 1, 2011 why the appeal should not be dismissed. The plaintiffs responded by voluntarily withdrawing their appeals.
 
 The Company intends to defend these cases vigorously and expects to prevail in this lawsuit since neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries manufactured the vehicle involved in the accident. The Company has established by reference to the VIN number on the vehicle that the manufacturer of the vehicle was not Kandi Vehicles but a different manufacturer. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries actually has, to the best of our knowledge, any involvement with respect to the subject vehicle. The Company intends to propound discovery on the plaintiffs and will attempt to have the cases dismissed by summary judgment, if possible.

 Item 7.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.
 
 The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein. Readers should carefully review the risk factors disclosed in this Form 10-K and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC.
 
 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 
 This section should be read together with the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the attached consolidated financial statements included in this report.
 
 Estimates affecting accounts receivable and inventories
 
 The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reporting of assets and liabilities (and contingent assets and liabilities). These estimates are particularly significant where they affect the reported net realizable value of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventories.
 
 Accounts receivable are recognized andcarried at net realizable value.  An allowance for doubtful accounts will be recorded in the period when a loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging, ongoing business relation and other factors.  Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.  If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they would be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within operating expenses. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0 and $0 respectively, as per the management’s judgment based on their best knowledge.
 
 Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.  When inventoriesare sold, their carrying amount is charged to expense in the year in which the revenue is recognized. Write-downs for declines in net realizable value or for losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the year the impairment or loss occurs. There were $152,278 in write downs in 2009 for slow moving inventory in the year ended December 31, 2009, and no declines in net realizable value of inventory for the year ended of December 31, 2010.
 
 While the Company currently believes that there is little likelihood that actual results will differ materially from these current estimates, if customer demand for our products decreases significantly in the near future, or if the financial condition of our customers deteriorates in the near future, the Company could realize significant write downs for slow-moving inventories or uncollectible accounts receivable.
 
 Policy affecting recognition of revenue
 
 Among the most important accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements is our policy of recognizing revenue. Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods sold, recognized upon the shipment of goods to customers, and are recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
 
 1.
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
 
 2.
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
 
 3.
The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
 
 4.
Collectability is reasonably assured.
 
 The majority of the Company’s revenue results from sales contracts with distributors. Revenue is recorded upon the shipment of goods. Management conducts credit background checks for new customers as a means to reduce the subjectivity of assuring collectability. Based on these factors, the Company believes that it can apply the provisions of SAB 104 with minimal subjectivity.
 
 Policy affecting options, warrants and convertible notes
 
 The Company’s stock option cost is recorded in accordance with ASC 718 and ASC 505.
 
 The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the option. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Stock option expense recognized is based on awards expected to vest, and there were no estimated forfeitures. ASC standards requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
 
 The Company’s warrant costs are recorded in liabilities and equities, respectively, in accordance with ASC 480, ASC 505 and ASC 815.
 
 The fair value of warrants, which is classified as liability, is estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the warrant. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the warrant is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect as of December 31, 2010. The warrants, which are freestanding derivatives and are classified as liabilities on the balance sheet, will be measured at fair value on each reporting date, with decreases in fair value recognized in earnings and increases in fair values recognized in expenses as interest expense. .
 
 Company determined that the fair value of equity based warrants, which are not considered derivatives under ASC 815, is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the warrant. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
 
 In accordance with ASC 815, the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes is separated from the debt instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument. On the date the Convertible Notes are issued, the conversion feature was recorded as a liability at its fair value, and future decreases in fair value recognized in earnings while increases in fair values recognized in expenses as interest expense. The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to obtain the fair value of the conversion feature. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the conversion features. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the conversion features is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement.

 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
 Recently Implemented Standards
 
 ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162) reorganized by topic existing accounting and reporting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) into a single source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. All guidance contained in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) carries an equal level of authority. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Accordingly, all other accounting literature will be deemed “non-authoritative.” ASC 105 is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company has implemented the guidance included in ASC 105 as of July 1, 2009. The implementation of this guidance changed the Company’s references to GAAP authoritative guidance but did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
 ASC 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events) includes guidance that was issued by the FASB in May 2009, and is consistent with current auditing standards in defining a subsequent event. Additionally, the guidance provides for disclosure regarding the existence and timing of a company’s evaluation of its subsequent events. ASC 855 defines two types of subsequent events, “recognized” and “non-recognized.” Recognized subsequent events provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet and are required to be reflected in the financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date and, therefore; are not required to be reflected in the financial statements. However, certain non-recognized subsequent events may require disclosure to prevent the financial statements from being misleading. This guidance was effective prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company implemented the guidance included in ASC 855 as of July 1, 2009. The effect of implementing this guidance was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. This update clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively and is not a stock dividend. This ASU codified the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 09-E “Accounting for Stock Dividends, Including Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash”. ASU 2010-01 is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this update did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
  21
 
 ASC Updated (“ASU”) No. 2010-02, Consolidation (Topics 810) – Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary - A Scope Clarification.  This update provides guidance for non-controlling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary. An entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. The gain or loss includes any gain or loss associated with the difference between the fair value of the retained investment in the subsidiary and its carrying amount at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated. In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in its ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction.  The adoption of this update did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. Specifically, ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require:
 
 ●
A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and
 
 ●
In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements.
 
 In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures:
 
 ●
For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and
 
 ●
A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.
 
 ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted.
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update is to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The FASB also clarified that if the financial statements have been revised, then an entity that is not an SEC filer should disclose both the date that the financial statements were issued or available to be issued and the date the revised financial statements were issued or available to be issued. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature.
 
 In addition, the amendments in the ASU requires an entity that is a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market to evaluate subsequent events through the date of issuance of its financial statements and must disclose such date. All of the amendments in the ASU were effective upon issuance (February 24, 2010) except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010.
  22
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-10, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments for Certain Investment Funds. This update is to defer the effective date of certain amendments to the consolidation requirements of FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) Topic 810, Consolidation, resulting from the issuance of FASB Accounting Standard No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation 46(R). Specifically, the amendments to the consolidation requirements of Topic 810 resulting from the issuance of Statement 167 are deferred for a reporting entity’s interest in an entity:
 
 ●
That has all the attributes of an investment company; or
 
 ●
For which it is industry practice to apply measurement principles for financial reporting purposes that are consistent with those followed by investment companies.
 
 The ASU does not defer the disclosure requirements in the Statement 167 amendments to Topic 810. The amendments in this ASU are effective as of the beginning of a reporting entity’s first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009, and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. Early application is not permitted.
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. This update is to codify the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 09-J, “Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades.” The amendments to the Codification clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or services condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The adoption of this update did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-21, Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules. This update amends various SEC paragraphs in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification pursuant to SEC Final Rule, “Technical Amendments to Rules Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies”. The adoption of this update did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-22, Accounting for Various Topics. This update amends various SEC paragraphs in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification based on external comments received and the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 112 which amends or rescinds portion of certain SAB topics. SAB 112 was issued to bring existing SEC guidance into conformity with ASC 805 “Business Combination” and ASC 810 “Consolidation”. The adoption of this update did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This update reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-G. The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity as defined by Topic 805, Business Combinations, that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.
 
 Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

 Revenues
 
 For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, our revenue increased by 26.8%, from $33,827,762 to $42,880,300 year over year. This was primarily due to the continued strengthening of the Company’s traditional recreational vehicle market, led by a 120% year over year increase in go kart sales and 23% year over year increase in sales of the ATV, primarily in the U.S.  While sales of other recreational products were weaker than anticipated, the Company anticipates gradual strengthening in the year ahead.  The Company also is continuing to focus on developing what it sees as a potentially large new market for certain of its recreational vehicles in its domestic market, as part of a continuing goal to shift 50% of product sales to China over time.
 
 Revenues from our ATVs experienced a significant increase of $696,622, or 23%, in year 2010 over the comparable fiscal years, which was attributable to 29.9% increase in the average unit price from $488 in 2009 to $633 in 2010. During the fiscal year 2010, the Company has successfully developed several new competitive models, which is relatively high end and with a higher than average unit price. Therefore, although the unit sales decreased 5.2%, the revenue still increase 23% compared to fiscal year 2009.
 
 In 2010, revenues from our Super-mini car, which is known as the pure Electric Vehicle (EV) in China and CoCo elsewhere, dropped significantly by $1.7 million, or 20% from 2009, which was primarily attributable to the decrease in unit sales of 23% from 2,102 units in 2009 to 1,618 units in 2010, although the introduction of lithium battery EV enhanced the average unit price 4.2%. With respect to EV sales, the Company believes the strengthening of the RMB versus the dollar has had a negative effect in recent months on U.S. sales of its “CoCo”.  The Company has shifted the focus of its EV sales to China, where we are pursuing our new EV business model, consisting of a network of “express charge” battery stations, combined with various government incentives, including national and local subsidies, for the purchase of EVs.  While the Company, anticipates a modest recovery for “CoCo” EV sales in the U.S., it is focusing on expanding retail sales of EVs in Jinhua, after the anticipated completion of the “battery farm” and several battery “express change” stations. The Company anticipates the development of additional EV model cities and expanded sales of EVs in China, as well as additional sales in Europe.
 
 In 2010, our Go-Karts experienced a significant increase in revenue of $13.9 million or 120% over fiscal year 2009, which was mainly attributable to a 121% increase in unit sales from 12,829 units in 2009 to 28,366 units in 2010.  In year 2010, the improved market conditions, which had been suppressed during the financial crisis, benefited from the world economic recovery, and created a large increase in demand, especially for middle and small size products.
 
 Utility vehicles (UTVs) experienced a significant decrease in revenues from $8,477,828 to $4,839,256. This 43% decrease is due to a 11.8 % decrease in average unit price and a 35% drop in unit sales from 3,508 units in 2009 to 2,270 units in 2010. This significant drop is primarily because more competitors entered the UTV market in year 2010 after the UTV market recorded high profit in year 2009. Because of the high competition in this UTV market, the Company has reduced its price to maintain its competitive position. However, the severe competition still caused the Company to experience a significant sales drop in UTV products in year 2010.
 
 Revenues from our three-wheeled motorcycle (TT) dropped by $0.2 million, or 8.8%, from fiscal year 2009 to 2010, which was attributable to a decrease in unit sales of 30% from 1,313 units in 2009 to 917 units in 2010. During the year, the Company modified the model 250MB2 and increased its performance. As a result, the Company increased its unit price in 2010. Given that this model became the main product of our TT product line, the price increase of model 250MB2 caused the average unit price of TT products to increase by 30.6 % in year 2010. During fiscal year 2010, unit sales of 250MB2 remained stable; however, unit sales of other models decreased, which caused total sales to drop.
 
 The Company ceased production of the Mini Pick-Up in 2009 and sold only one specially-manufactured vehicle in 2009. In year 2010, no Mini Pick-Up was sold.
 
 The following table lists the number of vehicles sold and sales revenue, categorized by vehicle type, within the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

 The table above reflects the 2009 unit sales in categories different from those used in our 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  We have moved certain models of our vehicles from one category to another because we concluded that, given the configuration and properties of the vehicles and the ways in which the markets for our products are developing, the categories we have utilized in the table above better reflect our performance in the several vehicle product lines in which we compete.  We have fully explained the changes in revenue presentation from the 2009 10-K to this 2010 10-K in a report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 16, 2011.
  25
 
 Cost of Goods Sold
 
 Cost of goods sold during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $33,257,851 representing a 29.9% increase from $25,613,087 last year, which corresponds to the increase in sales. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues was 77.6% for 2010 as compared to 75.7% for the year 2009, which reflects the increased price of raw manufacturing materials, as compared to those of the previous year.
 
 Gross profit
 
 Gross profit increased by $1,407,774, or 17.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase reflected higher net sales and increased cost of goods sold across our businesses, which caused the increase in gross profit to lag behind the increase in revenue. As a percent of revenue, gross profit decreased to 22.4% in 2010 compared to 24.3% in 2009, due to increases in raw material costs relative to the prices of our products.
 
 Selling and Marketing
 
 Selling and marketing expenses, which include distribution expenses and a one-time expense associated with issuing options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to two consultants as compensation for providing business development services, increased 9.5% during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, rising from $1,023,210 in 2009 to $1,120,739 in 2010.  This increase is primarily due to the effect of the one-time option issuing cost mentioned above, which was $808, 223 and $673,265 during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively.  Excluding this one-time expense, selling and marketing expenses decreased $37,429 primarily due to the $78,773 decrease in advertising expense, which was partially offset by an increase in shipping and packaging costs of $36,393, compared to the same period of 2009, due primarily to the increased sales in 2010.
 
 General and Administrative
 
 General and administrative expenses increased 31% during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, from $2,573,509 to $3,371,829. In addition to cash cost related to general and administrative expenses,  in 2010, the general and administrative expenses included $549,494 in expenses for common stock awards to consultants for financing and investor relations services. Additionally, the general and administrative expenses also included $630,350 in stock-based compensation costs for the options issued to the Company’s executives and managerial level employees, while for the same period of last year, this stock based compensation cost was $1,155,642. Excluding the effect of stock award cost and option cost, the net general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $2,191,985, increased 54.6% from $1,417,867 for the same period of 2009, primarily due to the increase of expenses incurred by the Company’s increased activities in investor relations and capital markets compared to the same period of 2009.
 
 Research and Development
 
 For the year ended December 31, 2010, research and development expenses decreased $433,259 , or 18.5%, to $1,908,134 from $2,341,393 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease is attributed to a significant curtailment of research and development expenses associated with the electric-powered super-mini car (EV). However, the Company is committed to continue investing in research and development for new models and new products.
 
 Government grants
 
 Government grants totaled $351,343 for the year ended December 31, 2010, representing a 175.9% increase over the same period in 2009, primarily due to the PRC government’s grant of subsidies for research related to electric-powered vehicle, and for enterprises with technology innovation.  The government grants consist of $118,999 in subsidies for supporting companies that have competitive advantages, and $232,344 in subsidies for supporting technological innovation and patent application.  Our electric-powered vehicles (EV) will continue to be our focus product in 2011.
 
 Other Income, Net
 
 Net other income was $761,960 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $361,745 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $400,215 or 110.6%.  This increase is primarily the result of write off $662,498 of other payables which had not been claimed for more than 3 years as of December 31, 2010.
 
 Interest Expense, Net
 
 Net interest expense was $2,153,018 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $1,478,276 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $674,742, or 45.6% due to interest expenses related to Convertible Notes. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the interest expense for the Convertible Notes was $355,727, and the interest expense incurred by the amortization of debt discount was $855,696. However, excluding the effects of interest expense related to Convertible Notes and warrants, the interest expense for this reporting period was $941,595, a decrease of 36.3% from $1,478,276 for the same period of 2009, primarily due to higher interest income generated from Notes receivable. As of the date of this Form 10-K filing, all but $1,000 of the Convertible Notes have already been converted.
 
 Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
 For the year ended December 31, 2010, the non-cash expense caused by change in fair value of financial instruments was $2,725,987, among which $2,218,530 was due to the change of fair value in warrants, and $507,457 was due to the change of fair value in conversion features embedded in Convertible Notes. There were no comparable expenses for changes in fair value of financial instruments for the prior year.
 
 Income Taxes
 
 On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of the PRC adopted a new corporate income tax law in its fifth plenary session. The new corporate income tax law unifies the application scope, tax rate, tax deduction and preferential policy for both domestic and foreign-invested enterprises.  The new corporate income tax law took effect on January 1, 2008. In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of the PRC, the applicable corporate income tax rate of Kandi is 25%. However, a foreign-invested company which registered with the PRC government before March 16, 2007 is still permitted to apply the former corporate income tax rules. Thus, our company was exempt from corporate income tax for 2007 and 2008 and is also entitled to a 50% tax reduction for 2009, 2010 and 2011, for which the tax rate is 12.5%. The Company had a tax expense of $405,713 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and had a tax expense of $287,578 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
  26
 
 Net (Loss) Income
 
 Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $951,439, compared to a net income $999,801 in year 2009. This change is primarily due to the significant non-cash expense caused by the changes to the fair value of Warrants issued to investors in Convertible Notes and placement agents, and the changes of fair value of conversion features embedded in Convertible Notes.
 
 Excluding the effects of option related expenses, the Convertible Note’s interest expense, the effect caused by amortization of discount on Convertible Notes, and the change of the fair value of financial derivatives, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Company’s net income was $4,975,809, up 76% as compared with net income of $2,828,708 for the same period of 2009 excluding the same effects. This increase is primarily due to the increase of gross profit, government grants and other income.
 
 As of the date of this Form 10-K filing, all but $1,000 of the Convertible Notes have already been converted.
 
 Summary of 4th Quarter Results
 
 For the three months ended December 31, 2010, our revenue decreased by 2.5% from $14,716,645 to $14,345,368, mainly due to the Company’s shift in its market focus from the United States to China for EV products.  The cost of goods sold decreased 0.4% during the same period, while gross profit decreased $326,776, or 9.5% from 3,430,635 of the corresponding period of last year to $3,103,859 in the fourth quarter of 2010.
 
 For the three months ended December 31, 2010, the general and administrative expenses increased 74.9% to $1,061,582, mainly because of the fees incurred for the financing activities that occurred in December 2010. Research and development expenses increased 23.9% primarily due to additional efforts on new ATV products and quality improvements on existing products. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, we incurred a non-cash charge of $1,923,103 relating to the change in fair value of financial instruments, which was not present for the same period of 2009.
 
 Given the increase in expenses, the company recorded a net loss of $219,138, compared to net income of $780,520 for the same period of last year. Excluding the effects of option related expenses, Convertible Notes’ interest expense, the effects caused by the amortization of discount on Convertible Notes, and the change of the fair value of financial derivative, for the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a net income of $1,940,413, a 9.7% increase from net income of $1,768,960 for the same period of 2009, excluding the same effects.

 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
 Cash Flow
 
 Net cash provided by operating activities was $4,440,551 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $8,531,606 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The difference is mainly attributable to the $2,727,758 non-cash expenses resulting from the change in fair value of financial instruments, depreciation and amortization expense of $4,714,058, and non-cash option issue cost of $1,438,573. In addition, For the year ended December 31, 2010, the change in accounts receivable and accounts payable caused a net cash outflow of $1,572,489 and a net cash inflow of $1,514,332 respectively, compared to a net cash outflow of $7,141,861 and $4,653,358 respectively for the same reporting period of 2009.
 
 Net cash used in investing activities was $25,821,359 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to net cash flow provided by investing activities of $5,864,137 for the same reporting period in 2009. This was primarily due to a net cash outflow from notes receivable of $21,966,427, as compared to a net cash inflow in notes receivable of $10,995,353 for the same period last year.
 
 Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $28,960,121 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to net cash flow provided by financing activities of $2,057,648 for the same period of 2009. This change during the year ended December 31, 2010, is primarily attributable to the Company’s completion of two rounds of financing through direct stock market financing and converting the Convertible Notes.
 
 Working Capital
 
 The Company had a working capital surplus of $18,522,694 at December 31, 2010, which was an improvement from a working capital deficit of $12,102,868 as of December 31, 2009, which was principally due to the Company’s issuance of $10,000,000 long-term Convertible Notes in January 2010 and an additional equity offering, which raised $16,649,996 in December 2010. The Company used part of these proceeds in the Company’s working capital.
 
 As of December 31, 2010, the Company has credit lines from commercial banks for $38,113,676, of which $28,434,012 was used at December 31, 2010. The Company believes that its cash flows generated internally may not be sufficient to support growth of future operations and repay short term bank loans for the next twelve months if needed. Therefore, from time to time, the Company may require extra funding through short term borrowing from PRC banks or other financing activities if needed in the near future.
 
 The Company has historically financed itself through short-term commercial bank loans from PRC banks.  The term of these loans is typically for one year, and upon the payment of all outstanding principal and interest in a respective loan, the banks have typically rolled over the loans for additional one-year terms, with adjustments made to the interest rate to reflect prevailing market rates. The Company believes this situation has not changed and the short-term bank loans will be available on normal trade terms if needed.

 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
 We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Kandi Technologies, Corp. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flow for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
 We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
 We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 included in the Company’s Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.
 
 In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Kandi Technologies, Corp. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
 
 NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
 
 Stone Mountain Resources, Inc. (“Stone Mountain”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 31, 2004. On August 13, 2007, Stone Mountain Resources, Inc. changed its name to Kandi Technologies, Corp. (“Kandi” or the “Company”).
 
 On June 29, 2007, pursuant to the share exchange agreement between Stone Mountain Resources, Inc., Continental Development Limited, (“Continental”) and Excelvantage (Continental’s sole shareholder), Stone Mountain issued 12,000,000 shares of its common stock to Excelvantage, in exchange for 100% of the common stock of Continental. As a result of the share exchange, Continental became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stone Mountain. Kandi Technologies, Corp. conducts its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary, Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co. Ltd., a People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) company.
 
 On June 24, 2008 the Company closed its acquisition of 100% of the shares of Kandi Special Vehicles Co., Ltd (“KSV”), after which KSV became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 “Business Combinations.” The consolidated statements of income include the results of operations of KSV at the date of acquisition. On March 10, 2009, KSV changed its name to Kandi New Energy Vehicles Co., Ltd, (“KNE”). On June 11, 2009, KNE changed its name back to KSV.
 
 On May 9, 2008, the Company sold Zhejiang Yongkang Top Import & Export Co., Ltd. (“Dingji”), a subsidiary of the Company, to certain individuals.
 
 On December 31, 2010, Jinhua Three Parties New Energy Vehicles Service Co., ltd. (“Jinhua Service”) was formed by joint venture with State Grid Power Corporation, Tianneng Power International, Inc. and Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd. to establish the first China electric super-mini automobiles battery replacement services. The Company owns 30% of Jinhua Service.
 
 The primary operations of the Company are the design, development, manufacturing, and commercializing of all-terrain vehicles, go-karts, and specialized automobile related products for the PRC and global export markets. Sales are made to dealers in Asia, North America, Europe and Australia.
 
 NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY
 
 The Company had a working capital surplus of $18,522,694 at December 31, 2010. The Company raised $10,000,000 by issuance of long-term Convertible Notes with warrants in January 2010 and $16,649,996 by issuance of common stock with warrants in December 2010. The Company used part of these proceeds as working capital.
 
 As of December 31, 2010, the Company has credit lines from commercial banks for $38,113,676, of which $28,434,012 was used at December 31, 2010. The Company believes that its cash flows generated internally may not be sufficient to support growth of future operations and repay short term bank loans for the next twelve months if needed. Therefore, from time to time, the Company may require extra funding through short term borrowing from PRC banks or other financing activities if needed in the near future.
 
 The Company has historically financed itself through short-term commercial bank loans from PRC banks.  The term of these loans are typically for one year, and upon the payment of all outstanding principal and interest in a respective loan, the banks have typically rolled over the loans for additional one-year terms, with adjustments made to the interest rate to reflect prevailing market rates. The Company believes this situation has not changed and the short-term bank loan will be available on normal trade terms if needed.
 
 NOTE 3 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
 The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements and notes are representations of management. Accounting policies adopted by the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements.

 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
 
 NOTE 4 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kandi Technologies, Corp., and the following subsidiaries:
 
 (i)
Continental Development Ltd., (“Continental”) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company)
 
 (ii)
Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co. Ltd., (“Zhejiang Kandi”) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Continental)
 
 (iii)
Kandi Special Vehicles Co., Ltd, (“KSV”, formerly known as Kandi New Energy Vehicles Co. Ltd.) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of  Zhejiang Kandi)
 
 (iv)
Jinhua Three Parties New Energy Vehicles Service Co., Ltd., (“Jinhua Service”) (a 30% owned associate of Zhejiang Kandi)
 
 
 
 Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
 NOTE 5 – USE OF ESTIMATES
 
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates.
 
 NOTE 6 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 (a)  Economic and Political Risks
 
 The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
 
 The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 NOTE 6 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
 (b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
 ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures” codified SFAS 157 that establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
 
 These tiers include:
 ·
Level 1—defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
 ·
Level 2—defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
 
 ·
Level 3—defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
 The assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of December 31, 2010 are as follows:

 Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of high rated money market funds at a variety of well-known institutions with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash represents time deposits on account to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable. The original cost of these assets approximates fair value due to their short term maturity.
 
 Trading security investment is traded on the open active market, therefore its fair value is measured at each market trading date, and reflected by the quoting price on the market.
 
 Warrants and conversion features embedded in the Convertible Notes, which are accounted as liabilities, are treated as derivative instruments, which will be measured at each reporting date for their fair value using Level 2 inputs. Also see Note 6 section (s) and (t).
 
 The Company’s non-financial assets are measured on a recurring basis. These non-financial assets are measured for impairment annually on the Company’s measurement date at the reporting unit level using Level 3 inputs. For most assets, ASC 820 requires that the impact of changes resulting from its application be applied prospectively in the year in which the statement is initially applied.
 
 The Company’s non-financial assets measured on a non-recurring basis include the Company’s property, plant and equipment and finite-use intangible assets which are measured for recoverability when indicators for impairment are present. ASC 820 requires companies to disclose assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis in the period in which the remeasurement at fair value is performed. The Company has reviewed its long-lived assets as of December 31, 2010 and determined that there are no significant assets to be tested for recoverability under ASC 360 (formerly SFAS 144) and as such, no fair value measurements related to non-financial assets have been made during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.
 
 (c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
 The Company considers highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
 Restricted cash on December 31, 2010 and 2009 represent time deposits on account to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable. Also see Notes 15 and 16.
 
 (d) Inventories
 
 Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (market value). The cost of raw materials is determined on the basis of weighted average. The cost of finished goods is determined on the weighted average basis and comprises direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.
 
 Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less any further costs expected to be incurred for completion and selling expense.

 NOTE 6 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
 (e) Accounts Receivable
 
 Accounts receivable are recognized andcarried at net realizable value.  An allowance for doubtful accounts will be recorded in the period when a loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging, ongoing business relation and other factors.  Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.  If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they would be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within operating expenses. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has no allowance for doubtful, as per the management’s judgment based on their best knowledge.
 As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the longest credit term for certain customers are both 120 days.
 
 (f) Notes Receivable
 
 Notes receivable represents short term loans lending to third parties with the maximum term of one year. Interest income will be recognized according to each agreement between a borrower and the Company on accrual base. If notes receivable are to be paid back, or written off, they will be recognized in the relevant year if the loans default are probable, reasonable assure and the loss are reasonably estimated. The company will recognize income if the written-off loan are recovered in a future date. In case of any foreclosure procedures or legal actions are being taken, the company will provide accrual for the related foreclosure expenses and related litigation expenses.
 
 (g) Prepayments
 
 Prepayments represent cash paid in advance to suppliers for raw materials purchases.
 
 (h) Plant and Equipment
 
 Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the asset or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
 Buildings
30 yearsMachinery
10 yearsMotor vehicles
5 yearsOffice equipment
5 yearsMoulds
5 years
 
 The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
 
 (i) Construction in Progress
 
 Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction or the acquisition cost of buildings or machinery and design fees. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until the assets are completed and ready for their intended use.
 
 (j) Land Use Rights
 
 According to the laws of China, land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to an individual or a company.  However, the government grants the user a “land use right” to use the land.   The land use rights granted to the Company are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of fifty years.

 (k) Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
 The Group periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review, pursuant to the guidelines established in ASC No. 350. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
 
 During the reporting period, there was no impairment loss.
 
 (l) Revenue Recognition
 
 Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the shipment of goods to customers. Revenues are recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
 ·
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
 
 ·
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
 
 ·
The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
 
 ·
Collectability is reasonably assured.
 The majority of the Company’s revenue results from sales contracts with distributors and revenue are recorded upon the shipment of goods. Management conducts credit background checks for new customers as a means to reduce the subjectivity of assuring collectability.
 
 (m) Research and Development
 
 Expenditures relating to the development of new products and processes, including significant improvement to existing products are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses were $1,908,134 and $2,341,393 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
 (n) Government Grant
 
 Grants received from the PRC Government for assisting in the Company’s technical research and development efforts are netted against the relevant research and development costs incurred when the proceeds are received or collectible.
 
 During 2010 and 2009, $351,343 and $127,347 was received from the PRC Government as a reward for the Company’s contribution to the local economy.

 (o) Income Taxes
 
 The Company accounts for income tax using an asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The accounting for deferred tax calculation represents the management’s best estimate on the most likely future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns and related future anticipation. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.
 
 (p) Foreign Currency Translation
 
 The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). Capital accounts of the consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.
 
 Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the year, which obtained from website: http://www.oanda.com

 NOTE 7 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
 Recently Implemented Standards
 
 ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162) reorganized by topic existing accounting and reporting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) into a single source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. All guidance contained in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) carries an equal level of authority. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Accordingly, all other accounting literature will be deemed “non-authoritative.” ASC 105 is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company has implemented the guidance included in ASC 105 as of July 1, 2009. The implementation of this guidance changed the Company’s references to GAAP authoritative guidance but did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
 ASC 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events) includes guidance that was issued by the FASB in May 2009, and is consistent with current auditing standards in defining a subsequent event. Additionally, the guidance provides for disclosure regarding the existence and timing of a company’s evaluation of its subsequent events. ASC 855 defines two types of subsequent events, “recognized” and “non-recognized.” Recognized subsequent events provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet and are required to be reflected in the financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date and, therefore; are not required to be reflected in the financial statements. However, certain non-recognized subsequent events may require disclosure to prevent the financial statements from being misleading. This guidance was effective prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company implemented the guidance included in ASC 855 as of July 1, 2009. The effect of implementing this guidance was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 NOTE 7 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. This update clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively and is not a stock dividend. This ASU codified the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 09-E “Accounting for Stock Dividends, Including Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash”. ASU 2010-01 is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this update did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 ASC Updated (“ASU”) No. 2010-02, Consolidation (Topics 810) – Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary - A Scope Clarification.  This update provides guidance for non-controlling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary. An entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. The gain or loss includes any gain or loss associated with the difference between the fair value of the retained investment in the subsidiary and its carrying amount at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated. In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in its ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction.  The adoption of this update did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. Specifically, ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require:
 
 ·
A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and
 
 ·
In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements.
 
 In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures:
 
 ·
For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and
 
 ·
A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.
 ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted.
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update is to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The FASB also clarified that if the financial statements have been revised, then an entity that is not an SEC filer should disclose both the date that the financial statements were issued or available to be issued and the date the revised financial statements were issued or available to be issued. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature.
 In addition, the amendments in the ASU requires an entity that is a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market to evaluate subsequent events through the date of issuance of its financial statements and must disclose such date. All of the amendments in the ASU were effective upon issuance (February 24, 2010) except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010.
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-10, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments for Certain Investment Funds. This update is to defer the effective date of certain amendments to the consolidation requirements of FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) Topic 810, Consolidation, resulting from the issuance of FASB Accounting Standard No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation 46(R). Specifically, the amendments to the consolidation requirements of Topic 810 resulting from the issuance of Statement 167 are deferred for a reporting entity’s interest in an entity:
 ·
That has all the attributes of an investment company; or
 
 ·
For which it is industry practice to apply measurement principles for financial reporting purposes that are consistent with those followed by investment companies.
 
 The ASU does not defer the disclosure requirements in the Statement 167 amendments to Topic 810. The amendments in this ASU are effective as of the beginning of a reporting entity’s first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009, and for interim for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. Early application is not permitted.
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. This update is to codify the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 09-J, “Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades.” The amendments to the Codification clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or services condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The adoption of this update did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-21, Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules. This update amends various SEC paragraphs in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification pursuant to SEC Final Rule, “Technical Amendments to Rules Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies”. The adoption of this update did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-22, Accounting for Various Topics. This update amends various SEC paragraphs in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification based on external comments received and the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 112 which amends or rescinds portion of certain SAB topics. SAB 112 was issued to bring existing SEC guidance into conformity with ASC 805 “Business Combination” and ASC 810 “Consolidation”. The adoption of this update did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This update reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-G. The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity as defined by Topic 805, Business Combinations, that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.
 
 Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

 NOTE 9 – INCOME 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 fiscal year. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible note (using the if-converted method). Because for this reporting period, the Company recorded a net loss, outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible note are anti-dilutive.
 
 The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share:

 NOTE 17 – TAXES
 
 (a) Corporation Income Tax
 
 On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China approved the Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “new CIT law”), which went into effect on January 1, 2008. In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of the PRC, the applicable corporate income tax rate is 25%.
 
 Prior to January 1, 2008, the CIT rate applicable to the Company is 33%. Kandi’s first profitable tax year for income tax purposes as a foreign-invested company was 2007. As a foreign-invested company, the income tax rate of Kandi is entitled to a 50% tax holiday based on 25% for the years from 2009 through 2011. During the transition period, the above tax concession granted to the Company prior to the new CIT law will be grandfathered according to the interpretations of the new CIT law.
 
 KSV is a subsidiary of the Company and its applicable corporate income tax rate is 25%.
 
 According to the PRC corporation income tax (“CIT”) reporting system, the CIT sales cut-off base is concurrent with the value added tax (“VAT”) which will be reported to the State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”) on a quarterly basis. Since the VAT and CIT are accounted for on a VAT tax basis that recorded all sales on a “State provided official invoices” reporting system, the Company is reporting the CIT according to the SAT prescribed tax reporting rules. Under the VAT tax reporting system, sales cut-off did not take the accrual base but rather on a VAT taxable reporting basis. Therefore, when the company adopted US GAAP on accrual basis, the sales cut-off CIT timing difference which derived from the VAT reporting system will create a temporary sales cut-off timing difference and this difference is reflected in the deferred tax assets or liabilities calculations on the income tax estimation reported in the Form 10-K.
 
 Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes. The interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.
 
 Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of December 31, 2010, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files income tax returns to the U.S. Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) and states where the Company has operation. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by IRS and relevant state tax authorities for years after 2007. During the periods open to examination, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since these NOLs may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination. The Company also files certain tax returns in China. As of December 31, 2010 the Company was not aware of any pending income tax examinations by U.S. and China tax authorities. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company has not recorded a provision for U.S federal income tax for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to the net operating loss carry forward in the United States.

 It is a common business practice among companies in the region of China where Kandi is located to exchange guarantees for bank debt with no consideration given.  It is considered a “favor for favor” business practice and is commonly required by the lending banks as in these cases. These companies provided guarantees for the Company’s bank loans as well. The banks involved in these guarantee transactions typically allow a maximum loan amount based on a 30% to 70% discount on the net book value of the pledged collateral. Also see Note 15.
 
 (b) Pending litigations
 
 There are two lawsuits currently pending in Ripley County, Missouri against the Company and its subsidiary Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd.(“Kandi Vehicles”), Kandi Investment Group, SunL and other parties, and they are related to two persons who died in an accident on March 3, 2006 while operating a go-cart allegedly manufactured by the Kandi Vehicles.  Kandi Investment Group was a major shareholder of Kandi Vehicles but it transferred all its equity in Kandi Vehicles to Continental Development Limited in November 2006. Since then, Kandi Investment Group has been unrelated to the Company or its affiliates.
 
 The cases were filed in 2009 and are known as Elder vs. SunL Group and Griffen vs. SunL Group. In March, 2010, the local trial court entered two default judgments in the amount of $20,000,000 each against Kandi Vehicles (a subsidiary of the Company), Kandi Investment and other parties. No default judgment was entered against Kandi Technologies, Corp. The lawsuit and default judgments didn’t come to the Company’s or Kandi Vehicles’ attention until May or June 2010. The Company had not been served or notified of the lawsuits and learned of their existence and of the default judgment in the course of commercial discussions with another of the defendants in the cases. Currently, the Company and Kandi Vehicles have filed answers to the complaint denying any culpability. The Company also moved for the default judgments against Kandi Vehicles to be set aside and on February 28, 2011, the Judge granted that motion and in the docket entry noted that the motion was granted because the court had no jurisdiction due to plaintiff’s failing to obtain service on Kandi Vehicles. On March 3, 2011, the plaintiffs appealed this order vacating the default judgments. The court of appeals thereafter ordered the plaintiff to show cause by April 1, 2011 why the appeal should not be dismissed. The plaintiffs responded by voluntarily withdrawing their appeals.
 
 The Company intends to defend these cases vigorously and expects to prevail in this lawsuit since neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries manufactured the vehicle involved in the accident. The Company has established by reference to the VIN number on the vehicle that the manufacturer of the vehicle was not Kandi Vehicles but a different manufacturer. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries actually has, to the best of our knowledge, any involvement with respect to the subject vehicle. The Company intends to propound discovery on the plaintiffs and will attempt to have the cases dismissed by summary judgment, if possible.

 KANDI TECHNOLOGIES, CORP.
 AND SUBSIDIARIES
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
 
 NOTE 21 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
 (a) Kandi New Energy Vehicles Co., Ltd.
 Kandi Vehicles, a subsidiary of the Company and Mr. Hu Xiaoming, the major shareholder of the Company entered into the Agreement of Establishment of Kandi New Energy Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“the Agreement”) on May 18, 2010, which took effect on January 31, 2011. According to the Agreement, Kandi New Energy Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“Kandi New Energy”) was incorporated and the investment was executed on January 31, 2011 on which the pre-requisite conditions of the Agreement were met and the Agreement became effective.
 
 The establishment of Kandi New Energy is to comply with Chinese regulation that foreign investor can own no more than 50% of an automobile manufacturing company in China with the objective to sell automobile products in China. Because Mr. Hu is a Chinese citizen and Kandi Vehicles is considered as a foreign investment entity, Kandi New Energy’s 50-50 ownership between Mr. Hu and Kandi Vehicles meets the requirement of the Chinese regulation.
 
 Under the Agreement, the Parties jointly invest 36 million RMB, approximately $5,459,923, to establish Kandi New Energy and each party will contribute 50% of such investment. Kandi Vehicles makes its contribution in kind and Mr. Hu makes his contribution in cash. Kandi New Energy shall obtain the government license to produce vehicles. Only upon receiving the government’s license and Kandi New Energy entering into a practical operational stage, could the Agreement become effective.
 
 On January 31, 2011, Kandi New Energy received the Chinese government’s license and the Parties agreed the practical operation stage had been reached and confirmed the Agreement became effective in a supplement agreement between the parties on January 31, 2011.  The contribution in kind in the form of plant and equipment provided by Kandi New Energy was deemed to be effective on the same date.
 
 According to the Contractor Agreement entered between Kandi Vehicles and Mr. Hu effective on January 31, 2011, both the management and operation of Kandi New Energy is contracted out to Kandi Vehicles and Mr. Hu will not participate in the management and decision making as an  shareholder of Kandi New Energy.  Pursuant to the Share Escrow and Trust Agreement, Mr. Hu’s entire equity in Kandi New Energy is put in escrow and trust with Kandi Vehicles effective from January 31, 2011.
 
 All profits of Kandi New Energy will be distributed to Kandi Vehicles.
 
 On January 31, 2011, Kandi Vehicles and Mr. Hu also entered into a loan agreement (“the Loan Agreement”) under which Kandi Vehicles will lend Mr. Hu, 18 million RMB, approximately $2,729,961 for the sole use  of his capital contribution  to Kandi New Energy according to the Agreement. The loan is interest free and Mr. Hu can return the loan by cash or his entire equity in Kandi New Energy or other methods agreed by the Parties. The term of the loan is the earliest of the time when: (1) Kandi New Energy enters into bankruptcy procedure; or (2) due to re-structuring, Mr. Hu is no longer a shareholder of Kandi Energy, or (3) both Parties agree to terminate the loan.
 
 The agreements discussed above are filed as exhibits to this 10-K.
 
 (b) Development in Europe
 On March 14, 2011, the Company finalized a Strategic Cooperation Agreement with Share s.r.l corporation  (the “SHARE”), a Rome, Italy based EV distributor. Under the terms of the strategic cooperation agreement, Kandi will provide 1,000 electric vehicles for export to Italy.  To better protect and preserve the ancient city of Rome, its city government has planned to gradually employ electric vehicles to restrict gasoline cars’ entrance into the city, which will substantially reduce pollution from automobile emissions. This commitment brings a unique opportunity for Kandi’s pure electric vehicles in the European market. According to the cooperative agreement signed by the companies, Kandi and SHARE will cooperate to expand sales of Kandi’s pure electric vehicles in the European market, with Rome as a starting point.  Pricing and other material terms are subject to future negotiations.

Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

 Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures.
 
 (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
 The Company hereby represents that it maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms for such filings, and that such controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
 Management of the Company, under the direction of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15a(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2010. Based on that review and evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with other key management of the Company, has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2010, due to the late acknowledgement and disclosure of the litigation in Missouri.
 
 The Company has reevaluated its disclosure controls and procedures and has changed those controls to require immediate notification to the Executive Vice President of the Company in the U.S. and the general outside counsel of any threatened or initiated litigation.
 
 (b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
 Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates of America.
 
 The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
 Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the polices or procedures may deteriorate.
 
 Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.
 
 Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
 In connection with the evaluation described above, we identified no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
 However, as a result of the litigation described above, the Company has instituted another control requiring informing its Executive Vice President in the U.S. and its outside counsel in the U.S. upon any Company representative’s hearing of a proceeding of any kind against the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Such a control would not have averted the default judgments but would have led to the Company’s developing a more complete understanding of the situation sooner.

 Item 11.Executive Compensation
 
 Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
 Executive Compensation Philosophy
 
 Our compensation program is designed to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified executives and drive sustainable growth.  We compensate our executives named in the summary compensation table, which we refer to as “named executive officers” or “NEOs,” through a combination of base salary and long term equity incentive awards. This compensation program is designed to be competitive with comparable companies and to align executive compensation with the long-term interests of our stockholders.  Base salary is designed to reward current performance. Incentive compensation is earned on the basis of achieving Company and operating level performance objectives, personal performance objectives, and the executive’s adherence to our core values.
  36
 
 Compensation Setting Process
 
 Compensation decisions regarding our NEOs are made by our Compensation Committee based on a collective evaluation of all components of executive pay.  In reviewing the compensation of our NEOs, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation practices within our industry, as well as the NEO’s background and experience within our industry, to determine appropriate market-based compensation levels for base annual salary and long-term incentives.
 
 Salary and Incentive Compensation
 
 Salary
 
 Salary is an important element in attracting highly qualified executives and provides a base level of compensation.  At the end of the year, each executive’s performance is evaluated by our Compensation Committee which takes into account the individual’s performance, responsibilities of the position, adherence to our core values, experience, and external market conditions and practices.
 
 Long-Term Compensation
 
 We believe it is a customary and competitive practice to include an equity-based element of compensation to the overall compensation package for NEOs.  In addition, we believe that a significant portion of the compensation of our executives, which is the level of management with the greatest ability to influence our performance, should be performance-based and therefore at risk.
 
 Awards will be made under the Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), which was approved by our stockholders in December 2008.  As of December 31, 2010, 2,600,000 options have been granted under the LTIP, among which 866,696 have been exercised.
