NOTE 7 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, together with subsequent Accounting Standards Updates collectively known as the “leases standard” or “ASC 842”. ASC 842 requires a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. All leases create an asset and a liability for the lessee in accordance with FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new standard using the effective date approach. The Company elected to adopt both the transition relief provided in ASU 2018-11 and the package of practical expedients which allowed us, among other things, to retain historical lease classifications and accounting for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard. Additionally, the management elected the practical expedients allowing the Company not to separate lease and non-lease components and not record leases with an initial term of twelve months or less (“short-term leases”) on the balance sheet across all existing asset classes.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities of $140,000 as of January 1, 2019, which primarily relates to the corporate office leases for SC Autosports. The standard did not materially impact the condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. Adopting the new standard did not have a material impact on the accounting for leases under which the Company is the lessee.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 (Topic 350) Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This ASU will be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company plans to adopt this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2019 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

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

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

NOTE 9 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

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

Litigation

Beginning in March 2017, putative shareholder class actions were filed against Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (“Kandi”) and certain of its current and former directors and officers in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaints generally alleged violations of the federal securities laws based Kandi’s disclosure in March 2017 that its financial statements for the years 2014, 2015 and the first three quarters of 2016 would need to be restated, and soughtseek damages on behalf of putative classes of shareholders who purchased or acquired Kandi’s securities prior to March 13, 2017. Kandi moved to dismiss the remaining cases, all of which were pending in the New York federal court, and that motion was granted by an order entered on September 30, 2019, and the time to appeal has run. In June 2020, a similar but separate putative securities class action was filed against Kandi and certain of its current and former directors and officers in California federal court and remains pending.

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

In October 2017, a shareholder filed a books and records action against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery pursuant to 8 Del. C. Section 220 seeking the production of certain documents generally relating to the same underlying items described above as well as attorney’s fees (the “Section 220 Litigation”). On September 28, 2018, the parties, through their respective counsel, agreed to dismiss the Section 220 Litigation with prejudice and with each party bearing its own attorney’s fees, costs, and expenses, thereby concluding the action.

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

However, the extent to which the COVID-19 impacts our operations will depend on its future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or minimize its harm, among others.

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

The Company originally planned to export 2,000 to 5,000 units electric vehicles to the gain from equity saleU.S. in the Affiliate Company and the decreased research and development expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized total revenue of $73,903,234 as compared to $62,690,873 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $11,212,361, or 17.9%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $12,615,006 of gross profits, an increase of $2,968,994 or 30.8% from the same period of 2018. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 17.1%, an increase compared to 15.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We recorded a net income of $361,811 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net loss of $1,418,879 in the same period of 2018, largely2020, but due to the increased revenue, decreased research and development expense and the gain from equity saleCOVID-19 pandemic in the Affiliate Company.

The current subsidy standard is provided forfirst half of 2020, the plan are being adjusted according to the situation of COVID-19 control in the CircularU.S, as well as the virtual pre-sales event on Further ImprovingAugust 18.

During the Subsidy Policiessecond quarter of 2020, the Company’s revenue increased to $19.4 million from $6.4 million during the first quarter of 2020. However, COVID-19 may eventually affect the Company's 2020 overall business performance. The operating results for the Promotionthree and Applicationsix months ended June 30, 2020 may not be indicative of New Energy Vehicles, which was jointly promulgated by the Ministryfuture operating results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 or other future periods, particularly in light of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission in 2019. The current subsidy standard reduces the amount of national subsidies and cancels local subsidies, resulting in a significant reduction in the total subsidy amount as compared to 2018. We believe the new subsidy standard presents both challenges and opportunities to the Company. In the past few years, although the government had a strong support policy for new energy vehicles, the unstable subsidy policy and the unpredictable timing of receiving such subsidiesuncertain impact COVID-19 could have exerted tremendous pressure on the Company’s cash flow. Currently, in order to adapt to the new subsidy standard, the Affiliate Company is making full useCompany's business.

Results of Geely’s resources and developing new models with goals to be independent of the government’s subsidies and have strong competitiveness at the same time. The new model are expected to be placed to market by the end of this year or at the beginning of 2020. We believe the Company will have greater opportunities for development at that time.Operations

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