Kandi Technologies, Corp. (formerly Stone Mountain Resources, Inc.) (the "Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 31, 2004. On June 29, 2007, Stone Mountain Resources, Inc. changed its name to Kandi Technologies, Corp.

NOTE 4 - USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

NOTE 7 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the three month ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, amounts due from related parties, prepayments and prepaid expenses, receivables due from employees, accounts payable due to employees, other payables and accrued liabilities, notes payable, short-term band loans and customer deposits. Management has estimated that the carrying amount approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.
NOTE 9 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and to interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations, and SFAS No.160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS No. 141 (R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquire at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No.160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statement. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No.141 (R) and SFAS No.160 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We have not yet determined the effect on our consolidated financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No.141 (R) or SFAS No. 160. We are aware that our accounting for minority interest will change and we are considering those effects now but believe the effects will only be a reclassification of minority interest from mezzanine equity to our stockholder's equity section in the balance sheet, in any case we do not believe the implementation of SFAS 160 will be material to our financial position, SFAS 141(R) will significantly affect the accounting for future business combinations and we will determine the accounting as new combinations are determined.

NOTE 9 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure financial assets and liabilities, with certain exceptions, at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries’ non-parent owners be clearly presented in the equity section of the balance sheet; requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; requires that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently; requires that when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity; requires that entities provide disclosures that clearly identify the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial statements.

Corporation Income Tax (“CIT”)
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"), an interpretation of FASB statement No. 109, Accounting for 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 FIN 48, we 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. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of March 31, 2008, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years after 2005. During the periods open to examination, the Company has net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from close March 31, 2008 the Company was not aware of any pending income tax examinations by China tax authorities. The Company's policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

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 is effective from January 1, 2008. In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of PRC, the applicable corporate income tax rate of the Company is 33%. However, according to certain rules in the tax laws, from the time that the Company has its first profitable tax year, a foreign-invested company is exempt from corporate income tax for the following two years of operations and is then entitled to a 50% tax reduction for the succeeding three years. The Company’s first profitable year for income tax purposes as a foreign-invested company was 2007. Dingji is a subsidiary of the Company and its applicable corporate income tax rate is 33%.
Under the new CIT law, the corporate income tax rate applicable to the Company starting from January 1, 2008 is 25%. The Company believes some of the tax concession granted to eligible companies prior to the new CIT law will be grand fathered.

Revenue For the three months ended March 31, 2008, our revenues increased approximately 76% from $5,376,977 to $9,487,285 relative to the same period ended March 31, 2007. The biggest factor for the increase of our revenues was the increased sales of our go-karts.
Cost of Sales Cost of sales increased from $4,403,741 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $7,305,277, or approximately 66%, for the same period in 2008, reflecting the increase in production manufacturing associated with the manufacturing of the super-mini car during the quarter. However, in terms of cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues, our cost of sales for this quarter in 2008 was approximately 77% of net revenues as compared to approximately 82% of net revenues for the same quarter in 2007. The main reason for the improvement in cost of sales was due to tighter cost controls and discounts obtained in raw materials because of the increase in our purchasing power.
Gross Profit Gross profit increased approximately 124% from $973,236 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $2,182,008 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and the gross margin was increased approximately 5% compared with the same period in 2007. This increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increased revenues and reduction in cost of sales. Moreover, the gross margin increased primarily due to the price increases we were able to implement on some of our products due to higher quality and larger engines.
25
Selling and Marketing For the three months ended March 31, 2008, selling and marketing expenses increased approximately 167% from $80,761 to $215,776 relative to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the expansion of the sales department as a result of the sharp increase in sales revenue.
General and Administrative For the three months ended March 31, 2008, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 97% from $141,594 to $279,120 relative to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the headcount of the administration department as the Company hired new employees in order to manage our expansion.
Research and Development For the three months ended March 31, 2008, research and development expenses increased approximately 289% from $11,978 to $46,610 relative to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to the continuing efforts of the Company in improvement of our existing products.
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 was effective on January 1, 2008. However, a foreign-invested company which registered with the PRC government before March 16, 2007 may still apply the former corporate income tax rules. Thus, the Company is exempt from corporate income tax for 2008 and then is entitled to a 50% tax reduction for 2009, 2010 and 2011. As a result, the Company had an income tax benefit of $39,965 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared with $0 for the same period in 2007.
Income From Discontinued Operation On May 9, 2008, we executed a share transfer agreement for the sale of our subsidiary Zhejiang Yongkang Top Import & Export Co., Ltd. (“Dingji”). Pursuant to the share transfer agreement, the Company agreed to sell all of its interest in Dingji for $712,027. There was no gain or loss that resulted from the sale. The income (loss) from discontinued operation of Dingji was $157 and $70,840 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Net Income Net income increased approximately 18% from $941,118 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1,110,176 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase in net income was due primarily to the increase in both our revenues and gross profits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Three Months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $2,124,901 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $12,724,576 in cash flow provided in operating activities in the same period of 2007. The decrease of net cash flow provided by operating activities was mainly due to the collection of outstanding loans and cash flow used in expanding manufacture capacity.
26
Net cash flow used in investing activities was $2,464,454 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $4,060,956 in the same period of 2007. Cash flow used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2008 was mainly for the issuance of notes receivable and the purchases of plant and equipment.
Net cash flow used in financing activities was $1,036,708 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $8,457,379 in the same period of 2007. The decrease of cash flow used in financing activities was mainly due to the receipt of loans, the loans are used by the Company to expand our output.
Working Capital
Our working capital increased by $1,003,439 to $1,298,063 at March 31, 2008, as compared to $294,624 at December 31, 2007. The increase in working capital at March 31, 2008 was mainly the result of the Company’s expanded capacity in the first quarter of 2008.
The Company believes that its cash flow generated from operations will be sufficient to sustain operations for the next twelve months. Also, from time to time, the Company may require extra funding through financing activities and investments for expansion. Also, from time to time, the Company may identify new expansion opportunities for which our management may consider seeking external funding and financing. However, as of March 31, 2008, the Company did not have any plan for additional capital through external funding and financing.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the three month ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, due from related parties, prepayments and prepaid expenses, other receivables, due from employees, accounts payable, due to employees, other payables and accrued liabilities, notes payable, short-term band loans, and customer deposits. Management has estimated that the carrying amount approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and to interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
27
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations, and SFAS No.160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS No. 141 (R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquire at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No.160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statement. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No.141 (R) and SFAS No.160 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We have not yet determined the effect on our consolidated financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No.141 (R) or SFAS No. 160. We are aware that our accounting for minority interest will change and we are considering those effects now but believe the effects will only be a reclassification of minority interest from mezzanine equity to our stockholder's equity section in the balance sheet, in any case we do not believe the implementation of SFAS 160 will be material to our financial position, SFAS 141(R) will significantly affect the accounting for future business combinations and we will determine the accounting as new combinations are determined.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure financial assets and liabilities, with certain exceptions, at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries’ non-parent owners be clearly presented in the equity section of the balance sheet; requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; requires that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently; requires that when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity; requires that entities provide disclosures that clearly identify the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial statements.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in this Form 10-Q, and in other 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. 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 March 31, 2008.
