- Gross margin was 24.0%, compared to 25.3% in the third quarter of 2012
- GAAP net loss in the third quarter was ($7.69 million) due to a significant increase in the fair value of financial derivatives compared to net income of $0.59 million in the same period last year

Mr. Xiaoming Hu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kandi Technologies, commented, "We had a very busy and productive third quarter and were excited about Kandi’s several achievements. At the end of July, the Public EV Sharing System in Hangzhou was launched. The first pure EV smart vertical parking and charging facility started its operation and we delivered the first 100 pure EVs for the trial operation of the system. Due to the attack of a typhoon in the Hangzhou area, the system is a bit behind schedule, and as of today, there are two parking/charging facilities completed and in use. There are 30 locations already chosen for building the facilities, of which 18 locations have begun construction. Additionally, Kandi established the new wholly owned subsidiary in Changxing and completed its ownership transfer to the JV Company."
"Given that the long awaited government subsidy policy for EVs is finally in place, we expect that sales of EVs will surge in the next few quarters, especially as the Public EV Sharing Project has progressed well. The trial operation of the Project has been going smoothly and the customers' feedbacks are positive. We remain optimistic about this business model of EV sharing for public transportation and believe it will greatly improve the efficiency of urban transportation and help ease major urban issues in China. We look forward to expanding this concept of public EV sharing into new regions in the near future." concluded by Mr. Hu.
