Mr. Hu Xiaoming, Chairman and CEO of Kandi commented: “The most promising EV opportunities we see today are short-distance small EVs in China and high-end electric Utility Terrain Vehicles in the U.S.  We are focused on mass markets by developing vehicles for these segments with a cost of RMB 30,000 (approximately US$4,663) or less.  For China we are developing a ‘neighborhood EV’.  For the U.S., we are working on a fully enclosed high-end air-conditioned electric 4WD UTV.  We expect to launch both products this year.”

Hu continued, “We intend to pursue the EV market more aggressively now that we are no longer constrained by the non-compete restrictions of our affiliation with Fengsheng.  We spent a lot on R&D in the quarter, as we start to develop a new EV model.  We are also considering EV product line expansion through acquisition, and are in various stages of discussions with several potential target companies.”

Turning to Kandi’s facility strategy, Hu elaborated, “In China our Jinhua facility relocation work was completed in the first quarter.We finished relocating production and offices to the new industrial park and vacated the old factory property.  In early April, officials of the Jinhua Development Zone inspected and approved the work.  We expect to soon receive the remaining payment of RMB 162 million, or approximately USD 25 million. Meanwhile, in late Aprilour U.S. subsidiary SC Autosportsmoved its team to ournewly purchased building in Dallas.”

Mr. Hu concluded, “Although our net loss grew in the first quarter, this was due to our extensive investment in R&D.  Sales were solid and the EV product segment should soon recover as we execute our growth plan.  We are well-funded, having collected payments for Fengsheng and the relocation.  With our strong balance sheet and leading technologies, we intend to pursue exciting EV opportunities such as battery swap and the ride-sharing platform, among others.”
