Jinhua, China--(Newsfile Corp. - August 9, 2018) - Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: KNDI) (the "Company," "we" or "Kandi"), today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2018.

Total revenues were $16.4 million for the second quarter of 2018, a decrease of 40.1% from total revenues of $27.3 million for the same period in 2017.
Electric Vehicle ("EV") parts sales decreased by 40.8%, to $15.5 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared with EV parts sales of $26.2 million for the same period in 2017.
Revenues from sales of off-road vehicles decreased by 24.3%, to $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared with revenues from sales of off-road vehicles of $1.1 million for the same period in 2017.
Kandi Electric Vehicles Group Co., Ltd. (the "JV Company") sold 1,802 EV products, for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 365 EV products sold in the same period last year.
GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2018 was $1.4 million, or $0.03 per fully diluted share, compared with GAAP net loss of $11.6 million, or loss of $0.24 per fully diluted share for the same period in 2017.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income1, which excludes stock compensation expenses and the change in fair value of contingent consideration, was $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared with Non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $9.5 million for the same period in 2017. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share1 was $0.05 per fully diluted share for the second quarter of 2018, compared with Non-GAAP adjusted loss per share1 of $0.20 per fully diluted share for the same period in 2017.
Working capital deficit was $8.6 million as of June 30, 2018. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $9.5 million as of June 30, 2018.
Mr. Hu Xiaoming, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kandi, commented, "due to the 2018 government subsidy policy adjustments in product structure requirements, the JV Company discontinued the manufacturing and selling of its EV products with a driving range of less than 200km and shifted its focus to the development of new EV models with a driving range exceeding 300km. Currently, our new 300km EV models K23，K27，and K28 (EX3) received the approval from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China. The JV Company has resumed its normal production and sales. With restored production and a recovery of sales, we believe that Kandi's growth will return to the previous predicted track. Despite recent weak stock performance, the management team is dedicated to improving Kandi's market competitiveness and regaining our leading position in the EV industry."

| Gross Margin | 12.6% | 13.7% | - |
Net revenues for the second quarter of 2018 decreased by 40.1% compared to the same period last year. The decrease in net revenues was mainly due to the decrease in EV parts sales during this quarter. The selling prices of our products for the three months ended June 30, 2018 did not change materially on average from the same period last year. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the decrease of sales volume.

Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2018 were $4.7 million, compared with $7.1 million in the same quarter of 2017.
