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. (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 purchase in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 “Business Combinations,” the consolidated statements of income include the result 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 May 9, 2008, the Company sold Zhejiang Yongkang Top Import & Export Co., Ltd. (“Dingji”), a subsidiary of the Company, to certain individuals. In accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long−Lived Assets,” the results of operations of Dingji as of the disposal date May 9, 2008 are removed from the detailed financial statement line items to the “discontinued operation” of the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY
The Company’s working capital deficit is $13,457,954 as of March 31, 2009.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company has credit lines from commercial banks for $21,349,480, of which $10,517,705 was used at March 31, 2009. Subsequent to March 31, 2009, the Company collected approximately $4.3 million of its notes receivable. The Company expects to collect the remaining notes receivable by June 30, 2009 according to the contractual terms.
The Company believes that its cash flows generated internally may not be sufficient to sustain operations and repay short term bank loans for the next twelve months. 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. Nevertheless, the Company believes that financing will be available on normal trade terms if needed.
NOTE 3 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2008 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

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) |

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

· The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
· Collectability is reasonably assured.

(c) 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.

Average quarterly RMB : USD exchange rate | 6.8499 | 7.0842 | 7.1682 |
(d) Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income and the foreign currency translation changes.
(e) 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. 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.
(f) 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 March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 represent time deposits on account to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable. Also see Notes 14 and 15.

NOTE 6 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(g) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS 157 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 SFAS 157 as of March 31, 2009 are as follows:
Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using | ||||||||||||||||
Carrying value as of March 31, 2009 | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets | Significant Other Observable Inputs | Significant Unobservable Inputs | |||||||||||||
(Level 1) | (Level 2) | (Level 3) | ||||||||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 1,767,694 | $ | 1,767,694 | - | - | ||||||||||
Restricted cash | $ | 10,809,863 | $ | 10,809,863 | - | - |
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 represent 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.
(h) Stock Based Compensation
The Company stock based compensation is recorded in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R.
The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes 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 compensation expense recognized is based on awards expected to vest, and there were no estimated forfeitures as the current options outstanding were only issued to founders, directors and senior management of the Company. SFAS No. 123R 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 stock based compensation expense for the period ended March 31, 2009 is $210,117. Also see Note 17.

NOTE 7 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 (R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No.141 (R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. SFAS 141(R) will significantly affect the accounting for future business combinations and we will determine the accounting as new combinations are determined.
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 determined that SFAS No. 160 does not materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 161"), which amends SFAS No.133 and expands disclosures to include information about the fair value of derivatives, related credit risks and a company's strategies and objectives for using derivatives. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The Company has determined that SFAS No. 161 does not materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect its financial statements.
During June 2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 07-05, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-05”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. EITF 07-05 addresses the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity's own stock, which is the first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of FASB SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”). If an instrument (or an embedded feature) that has the characteristics of a derivative instrument under paragraphs 6–9 of SFAS 133 is indexed to an entity's own stock, it is still necessary to evaluate whether it is classified in stockholders' equity (or would be classified in stockholders' equity if it were a freestanding instrument). Other applicable authoritative accounting literature, including Issues EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, and EITF 05-2, The Meaning of “Conventional Debt Instrument” in Issue No. 00-19, provides guidance for determining whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is classified in stockholders' equity (or would be classified in stockholders' equity if it were a freestanding instrument). EITF 07-05 does not address that second part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133. The Company has determined that EITF 07-05 does not materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect its financial statements.

NOTE 9 – (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE
Basic (loss) income per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss 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 stock options were exercised and if the additional common shares were dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company has a net loss, and therefore the options are anti-dilutive, therefore there were no potentially dilutive securities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE 16 – TAXES
(a) Corporation Income Tax (“CIT”)
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 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.
KNE is a subsidiary of the Company and its applicable corporate income tax rate is 25%.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted 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, 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. 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, 2009, 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 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 March 31, 2009 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, 2009, 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 three months ended March 31, 2009 due to the net operating loss carry forward in the United States.

NOTE 17 - STOCK OPTIONS
On February 11, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the grant of stock options for 2,600,000 shares of common stock to ten of the Company's employees and directors. The stock options vest ratably over three years and expire in ten years from the grant date. The Company valued the stock options at $2,062,964 and amortizes the stock compensation expense using the straight-line method over the service period from February 11, 2009 through February 11, 2012. The value of the options was estimated using the Black Scholes Model with an expected volatility of 164%, expected life of 10 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.76% and expected dividend yield of 0.00%.
The following table summarized the stock option activities of the Company:

NOTE 18 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) In 2006, the Company brought a legal action against Zhejiang Yuegong Steel Structure Co. and Zhejiang Jinhua No.1 Construction Co., Ltd. for their delay in the construction in the Jinhua Industrial District. According to the judge's report from the local court in Jinhua, PRC, on December 5, 2006, the Company prevailed in the lawsuit and Zhejiang Yuegong Steel Structure Co. and Zhejiang Jinhua No.1 Construction Co., Ltd. are required to pay $186,331 in damages to the Company. However, the two defendants appealed the ruling to a higher level court and the Company has not received the damage award as of March 31, 2009. Considering the uncertainties of the legal proceeding, the Company did not record a gain for this at March 31, 2009.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology, such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "project," "predict," "intend," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain such terms.
In addition, these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding implementing our business strategy; development and marketing of our products; our estimates of future revenue and profitability; our expectations regarding future expenses, including research and development, sales and marketing, manufacturing and general and administrative expenses; difficulty or inability to raise additional financing, if needed, on terms acceptable to us; our estimates regarding our capital requirements and our needs for additional financing; attracting and retaining customers and employees; sources of revenue and anticipated revenue; and competition in our market.
Forward-looking statements are only predictions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. All of our forward-looking information is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expected. Although it is not possible to identify all factors, these risks and uncertainties include the risk factors and the timing of any of those risk factors described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and those set forth from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Stock Based Compensation
The Company’s stock based compensation is recorded in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R.
The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes 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 compensation expense recognized is based on awards expected to vest, and there were no estimated forfeitures as the current options outstanding were only issued to founders and senior management of the Company. SFAS No. 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
28
The stock based compensation expense for the period ended March 31, 2009 is $210,117.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS 157 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 SFAS 157 as of March 31, 2009 are as follows:
Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices In | ||||||||||||||||
Carrying value as of March 31, 2009 | Active Markets for Identical Assets | Significant Other Observable Inputs | Significant Unobservable Inputs | |||||||||||||
(Level 1) | (Level 2) | (Level 3) | ||||||||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 1,767,694 | $ | 1,767,694 | - | - | ||||||||||
Restricted cash | $ | 10,809,863 | $ | 10,809,863 | - | - |
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 represent 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.
29
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. |
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 (R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No.141 (R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. SFAS 141(R) will significantly affect the accounting for future business combinations and we will determine the accounting as new combinations are determined.
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 that 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 determined that SFAS No. 160 does not materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 161"), which amends SFAS No.133 and expands disclosures to include information about the fair value of derivatives, related credit risks and a company's strategies and objectives for using derivatives. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The Company has determined that SFAS No. 161 does not materially affect, or reasonably likely to materially affect, its financial statements.
30
During June 2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 07-05, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-05”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. EITF 07-05 addresses the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity's own stock, which is the first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of FASB SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”). If an instrument (or an embedded feature) that has the characteristics of a derivative instrument under paragraphs 6–9 of SFAS 133 is indexed to an entity's own stock, it is still necessary to evaluate whether it is classified in stockholders' equity (or would be classified in stockholders' equity if it were a freestanding instrument). Other applicable authoritative accounting literature, including Issues EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company Own Stock, and EITF 05-2, The Meaning of “Conventional Debt Instrument” in Issue No. 00-19, provides guidance for determining whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is classified in stockholders' equity (or would be classified in stockholders' equity if it were a freestanding instrument). EITF 07-05 does not address that second part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133. The Company has determined that EITF 07-05 does not materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect its financial statements.

(a) Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, our revenue decreased by 57.8% from $9,487,285 to $4,005,904 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. The global economic crisis continuing from 2008 negatively affected sales of all of our vehicles, particularly our recreational vehicle lines.
The following table lists the numbers of vehicles sold, categorized by vehicle types, within the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:
Three Months Ended March 31 | ||||||||
2009 | 2008 | |||||||
All-terrain Vehicles (“ATV”) | 746 | 1,735 | ||||||
Super-mini car (“CoCo”) | 169 | - | ||||||
Go-Kart | 275 | 7,331 | ||||||
Mini Pick-up | - | 1 | ||||||
Utility vehicles (“UTVs”) | 1,039 | 123 | ||||||
Three-wheeled motorcycle (“TT”) | 198 | 1 | ||||||
Total | 2,427 | 9,191 |
Based on a determination that China will be among the first markets to recover from the global economic crisis, we have spent much time and resources on developing products targeting the Chinese market. In addition to the relative health of the Chinese economy, the Company expects to also benefit from the stimulus package enacted by the PRC government in November 2008. The November stimulus package includes cash subsidies of 60,000 RMB (approximately $8,765) provided to the purchaser of each renewable energy vehicle. We believe that our electric Coco super-mini car will qualify for such subsidies. We have submitted an application with the PRC government to sell the electric Coco in China and expect approval by the end of the second quarter of 2009 and anticipate sales of the Coco to begin in China in the third quarter of 2009.
(b) Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $3,025,722 representing a 58.6% decrease of $7,305,277 from the three months ended March 31, 2008, which corresponded with the decrease in sales. Cost of goods sold was 75.5% of the total revenue for the period as compared to 77% of the comparable period, reflecting the Company’s continued efforts on cost control and sourcing efficiencies on manufacturing materials whose costs were comparatively lower than those of previous year.
(c) Gross profit
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2009 is consistent with the decrease in revenue, falling 55.1% from $2,182,008 to $980,182 from the same period in 2008.
33
(d) Selling and distribution expenses
Selling and distribution expenses were $86,184 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $215,776 from the same period in 2008, representing a 60.1% decrease. The significant drop in these expenses was the result of decreased shipping expenses as the Company shipped fewer vehicles overseas, partly due to decreased sales and partly due to the Company's change from direct exports to shipping through an export agent who will bear the shipping expenses.
(e) General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were $567,815 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $279,120 for the same period in 2008, representing a 103.4% increase. The increase was primarily due to increased expenses in reserve made for slow moving inventories, the depreciation of fixed assets, and amortization of the land use right of the subsidiary, KNE that had not commenced business at this reporting quarter.
(f) Research and development
Research and development expenses were $526,201 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $46,610 from the same period in 2008, representing a 1,028% increase. The increase was due to additional research and development efforts associated with the electric-powered CoCo, which included additional studies done to market this vehicle in the PRC.
(g) Stock-based compensation expense
In February 2009, the Company issued 2,600,000 shares option to 10 executives and managerial level employees. The fair value of the stock option on the grant date was $2,062,964. The Company amortized the stock compensation expense using the straight-line method over the service period from February 11, 2009 through February 11, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the compensation expense was $210,117 accounting for 5.2% of the total revenue of the reporting period.
(h) Government grants
Government grants totaled $99,053 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, representing a 323.6% increase over the same period in 2008, primarily due to the PRC government’s grant of subsidies for electric-powered vehicles sales. Our electric-powered vehicles were launched in October 2008 and will become our focus product in 2009.
34
(i) Net interest expense
Net interest expense was $309,304 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $615,540 for the same period last year, a decrease of 49.8%. This decrease is mainly the result of the increase in interest revenue of $208,634 received from the notes receivable. Also, while the exchange rate of RMB versus the USD remained steady in the reporting quarter, exchange loss was reduced significantly to $215 from $156,383.
(j) Net (loss) income
The operating performance of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2009 resulted in a net loss of ($582,899) as compared to a net profit of $1,110,176 for the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in sales and a ten-fold higher research and development expense. The net loss also includes the compensation cost of $210,117 incurred during the first quarter of 2009 for the issuance of options to purchase 2,600,000 shares of common stock to Company employees and directors as well as the write down of $151,996 for slow moving inventory.
35
Financial Condition
Working Capital
The Company suffered a loss of $582,899 and cash flows used in operating activities of $4,705,043 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company also had a working capital deficit of $13,457,954 at March 31, 2009, which was a decrease from a working capital surplus of $1,298,063 as of March 31, 2008, which was principally due to the Company using the cash proceeds borrowed from short-term loans to acquire KNE in June, 2008 to support the new plant construction and to expand the production capacity of super-mini cars and go-karts.
The Company has credit lines for $21,349,480 from commercial banks, of which $10,517,705 was used at March 31, 2009. Subsequent to March 31, 2009, the Company paid approximately $2 million of its notes payable and collected approximately $4.3 million of its notes receivable. The Company expects to collect the remaining notes receivable by June 30 of 2009 according to contractual terms.
The Company believes that its cash flows generated internally may not be sufficient to sustain operations and repay short term bank loans for the next twelve months. 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. Nevertheless, the Company believes that financing will be available on normal trade terms if needed.
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 following table lists all of such loans obtained by the Company within the past three years:

Cash Flow
Net cash flow used in operating activities was $4,705,043 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities of $2,335,674 in the same period in 2008. The decrease of net cash flow by operating activities was mainly due to the decrease in accounts payable of $4,308,304 and the increase in inventories of $586,108 and prepayments and prepaid expenses of $471,406.
Net cash flow provided by investing activities was $6,205,624 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to net cash flow used in investing activities of $2,464,454 for the same reporting period in 2008. Cash flow provided by investing activities in this quarter was primarily due to a repayment of notes receivables of $11,462,957 offset by the issuance of notes receivable of $5,203,029.
Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $139,099 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to net cash flow used in financing activities of $1,036,708 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Other Matters
Management Software
In March of 2009, the Company decided to adopt the Kingdee K3 ERP Supply Chain management software (K3 SCM), and integrate it with current running Kingdee K3 finance system. This system offers functions such as purchase management, sales management, warehouse management, quality management, inventory accounting, import management and export management to completely manage the business supply chain. Implementing integration of K3 SCM, we believe, will yield the following benefits:
· | Realize the integration of finance and supply chain management, the information sharing between finance and supply chain become more transparent and timely; |
38
· | Optimize the logistic operation, closely watch the inventory change, and follow the orders; |
· | Optimize the supplier management and the purchase order management, cut purchasing cost, improve the delivery of purchasing materials, and reduce the raw material buffer; |
· | Control the account payable and account receivable in a more efficient and effective way; and |
· | Optimize the inventory management, provide the accurate inventory information in a timely manner. |
The integration of K3 SCM is planned to be implemented by the end of May this year, and we believe the successful implementation will improve the Company’s operating efficiency, and reduce our expenses.
Government policies
In November 2008, the Chinese government launched an economic stimulus package to boost the PRC economy in the wake of the global economic crisis. The impact of this stimulus package has begun to become apparent during the first quarter of 2009, and we believe the positive impact will continue for at least the next two years.
In January, 2009, The State Council of China announced a wide-ranging plan to boost China’s auto industry, which is included in the November stimulus package. According to this plan, China would cut in half, to 5%, the sales tax on purchases of cars with engine sizes below 1.6 liters. That rate will take effect on Jan. 20, 2009 and run until the end of 2009. The Chinese government will also give one-off cash subsidies totaling 5 billion RMB ($732 million) to owners of high-emission vehicles who trade them in for more fuel-efficient and cleaner vehicles.
At the same time, China will set up a 10 billion RMB fund to promote new technology, including renewable energy, over the next three years, while supporting the eventual mass production of electric vehicles.
Our UTVs, which mainly target the agriculture market, and electric-powered CoCo super-mini car both fit in this category and benefit from this package. These two lines of vehicles are the main products the Company plans to sell in China. We believe this is a great opportunity for us to expand our sales in China.

Item 4. 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, 2009. Based on that review and evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with other key management of the Company, have determined that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.
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 the first quarter of 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
