Xueqin Dong: It depends on the category of the products and type as well. And by the next few months, we hopefully will expand the retail stores working with Lowe's up to like 600 or 900 or maybe by the end of the year. We expect the number of stores that will carry our products will be over 1,000. And, of course, that's our plan for now. So again, be clear about the collaboration scale.

Currently, child sales, like those confused with the CEO's comments about the low superstore sales in the year NPR. So can you kind of explain a little bit more about that comment was related to the child sales at Lowe's Supermarkets. Okay, the second question is that he would like to ask Mr. Hu to clarify that there were more than a dozen. Unknown Attendee, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong, Arthur Porcari, Xiaoming Hu, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong There are more than 10 companies, so this is not a problem of marketing.

Speaker Change:
Speaker Change: Also it doesn't matter.
I've got one for me so cool well most of the ballroom at the time being I guess it shows that that may that so good tone for equal new young further time doing hypothetical.
Xueqin Dong: We are selling our products. That is to say, what we are selling now is a variety of non-road vehicle products, not children's products. These 10 companies are all selling non-road vehicles that we produce. As for the cooperation with more than 10 supermarkets, which supermarkets, I can't tell you right now. Please go to our SC website, and you will be able to see it. This product is already on sale in some supermarkets. You can see them in the supermarket; you can see them on the Internet.

Speaker Change: Oh, sorry, mycotoxins aren't doing and kind of ethane Mega watt.
And kind of at all.
Well so first of all I believe that there'll be no such confusion, because we keep stretching that you know they're over 10 of their retail partners.
Xueqin Dong: So, first of all, I believe that, you know, there has been no such confusion because we keep stressing that there are over 10 retail partners that we are working with, and Lowe's is one of them. As for the list of those retail partners of the magic retailer that we are working with, you can refer to the list on our, you know, KMD America website. And speaking of child sales, we are not quite sure. Do you mean the scale of the sales being small, or do you mean the sales of children's products?
That we are working with and lowest if one of them as for the lease up those retail partners all domestic retailer that way what can we you can refer to the news on our you know can be America website.
Speaker Change: And speaking of the Chow itself, we are not quite sure.
Speaker Change: The scale of the south being small do you mean.
Speaker Change: The children.
Xueqin Dong: Currently, we are, you know, selling all kinds of our outdoor, you know, off-road, like, you know, the off-road cars, the UTVs, and ADVs with those, you know, partners. Hope this can address your question. I think the child sales was sort of your quote, so I guess trying to understand maybe what type of products are the child sales. Can you delineate that? Is that not what you meant by child sales? Can you please remind us where the quote is when we're referring to the child cell? I'll have to find that.
Speaker Change: Product currently.
Speaker Change: Selling all kind of our outdoor.
Speaker Change: Off road lagging to the art of cards that you Tvs and a D V. It's with those partners.
Speaker Change: Hoping you can address your question.
Speaker Change: Yeah, just just I think the child's sales with sort of your quote.
Speaker Change: So I guess trying to understand.
Speaker Change: Maybe what type of products or the child sales do you can you delineate that or.
Speaker Change: Is that not what you meant by child sales.
Speaker Change: Can you can you remind us where the quote is when.
Speaker Change: When we will be playing out well.
Speaker Change: Yeah.
Speaker Change: Yeah, I'll have to find that.
Speaker Change: Yeah.
Michael Pfeffer: I think it's a quote, so I said it on the last conference call, Mr. Hu in response to the question stated, so for this year, on top of what we're working on with the low superstores, we have now added that corporation with more than a dozen or so retail chains with different scales. Currently, we're working on child sales in those superstores. I believe that's a quote from Mr. Hu. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But that's what I said. Okay, still in the quote, not in the presentation. I think we meant trial, not the child, trial, the trial sales. Trial, oh, that clears it up.
Speaker Change: Okay. Yeah. Yeah. This is this is of course, yes. It gets a quote when I said it on the last conference call. Mr. Hu. In response to question stated so for this year on top of what we're working with a low superstores.

Speaker Change: Good morning, Justin.
Unknown Attendee: Just with regard to the previous question that you guys fielded, if you would resume sending out a transcript of your Q&A call rather than rely on third parties, that would give you an opportunity to clear up any misstatements or mistranslation. Otherwise, this is what happens. People are taking statements that are, in fact, inaccurate.
Justin: With regard to the previous question that you guys feel good.
Speaker Change: If you would.
Speaker Change #100: Zane sitting now it's been spent.
Speaker Change: As the Q&A.

Miss translation.
Speaker Change #101: Otherwise, yes as that happens.
Speaker Change #101: Statements.
Kewa Luo: In any event, my first question is regarding the Lowe's MSL cup. Last week Lowe's added some promotional material to their Google sponsored ads as well as added a new website landing page on their e-commerce site promoting a new line of candy golf carts as part of Lowe's 100 million a year NFL exclusivity sponsorship program. From the posting, each of the 36 NFL teams would have their own custom-branded Kandi golf carts going on sale in August for the fall season.
Speaker Change #102: My first question is regarding the lows in itself.
Last week those added some promotional material on your glucose sponsored ads as well as any.
Speaker Change #102: The new website landing page on your E Commerce site.
Speaker Change #102: A new line of Civitas cards, as part of <unk> $100 million a year.

Speaker Change #104: On August <unk>.
Speaker Change #105: So all season could you go ahead and change sneaky.
Speaker Change #104: Okay.
Kewa Luo: Okay, first of all, the question from the investors is about single-character marketing. It's a good explanation that the company should have its own draft of the telephone conference instead of relying on the third party to disclose it directly through AI. In this way, the company can correct some mispronunciations and avoid some confusion.
Speaker Change #106: As long as the way Hogan's households, with Alan when no one sees a sure thing it depends look like yeah.
Speaker Change #107: I see the whole holiday you can surely in Jewish law is going to be in diodes for Peter but hopefully the single calls you and payload who I appreciate your coffee sunglasses, yet homegrown AI.
Speaker Change #107: Pillow tool that I see on the muscles and they'll go to ECS are fine are you. Finally found the Tolkien himself to alcohol at females young myself and I've had the ones you're not sure glad he sounds, though loss I'd say, well gosh I mean it sounds.
Kewa Luo: The question is about Last week, Lowe's added some marketing materials on Google Advertising. It newly added a login page to promote Kandi's new series of golf balls under the exclusive sponsorship plan of the U.S. National Infection Balls Alliance, which is $100 million per year. He said there are 36 in each alliance, but please correct him later; there are actually only 32.
Speaker Change #107: I don't want you in Dallas at the two Sao Paolo Bunzl since you essentially you got Oh, Yeah, and yeah, tweak one county silo slate Yeah. Email then the main cohort that that had a 20 ml dose advent with you must know that seem to take off with Joel and household this year, making them all essentially all of it.
Speaker Change #108: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #108: I think it had two things that you hit your French Adria Italian.
Unknown Attendee: This weekend, I assure you, all shareholders were clearly excited when they saw three pages on the Lowe's website showing the Kandi customized carts for the 36 NFL teams inviting advance orders for delivery in August. However, sometime on Sunday or Monday, it appears Lowe's took down those three landing pages. Clearly, Lowe's had been working on this web design for this project for some time, and rightly so, as it's a terrific idea. Seeing it suddenly taken down was a surprise, as was the taken down post on Candy America's own Twitter homepage.
Speaker Change #108: I think Japan, either golf, which hold true.
Yeah. He was quite high for social Oh go ahead.
Speaker Change #108: This weekend I assure you last shareholders meeting.
Exciting Nissan three pages and he knows that site, joining the T&D testing ways to get there.
Speaker Change #109: 36, NFL teams igniting advance orders for delivery in August however.
Speaker Change #109: However, since Sunday or Monday, a tier two tier three landing pages.
Speaker Change #110: <unk> been working on designs for the supply of chips or something right.
Speaker Change #111: So as a terrific idea.
Speaker Change #111: Suddenly taken down was a surprise.
Speaker Change #112: They are taking down test in T&D Americas later homepage, yet today, you probably revealed in those NFL Nathan.
Speaker Change #113: The press release.
Speaker Change #113: It hasn't changed much.
Unknown Attendee: Yet today you proudly reveal the Lowe's NFL linkup in your press release. Go ahead and transcribe. So when I saw this ad, it said that it would start selling in August. And our shareholders also saw the information that they could now accept pre-paid pre-orders. But it seems that since Monday, Lowe's has withdrawn these three landing pages.
Speaker Change #114: So he thought he would call nowadays I think she's a con call.
Speaker Change #115: Yeah. That's a horse race you are by yourself with higher social I cannot.
Speaker Change #116: Local diet hangar $10, you were supposed to be sure Sanjay.
Speaker Change #117: Page you show Oh, food that you're sending that.

Speaker Change #118: If you pull that out and shrinking our browser isolation $10. All shall also the father Thai baht here on that side since the dollar stays Wow and that's L. A little stuff that's all.
Unknown Attendee: But today I saw the morning report from the company, which again mentioned the cooperation between NFL and Lowe's. Continue, Okay, so my question is, what's the status of this new Lowe's NFL golf cart offering? It's a terrific idea and should be heavily promoted by Kandi as well as Lowe's. This is a huge attention-getter.
Speaker Change #118: I'm telling you.
Speaker Change #119: So my question is what's the status of the <unk> in a single dose quite honestly.
Speaker Change #120: Thank you.
Speaker Change #120: It should be heavily promoting changes no as long as there's a huge attention gander.
Speaker Change #120: Candy sales, but just as important and credibility.
Speaker Change #120: Yes.
Unknown Attendee: Not only will it help Kandi's sales, but just as important, your credibility. My question is, what's going on with Kandi, the NFL, and Lowe's cooperation? This is a very big deal.
Speaker Change #121: When he says I'll be somehow place, yet and you'll share come to U haul Nf L. I lost you know that's what she was she sees I'll say, how hot food home father. She can go C&I I Don T. J T cells. So that's why our dialogue onboard where she was the switching quake sponsored wants to sell for your way I'm bound to also see something that's really at all.
Unknown Attendee: The company should spread this cooperation widely. This will not only help the company's sales but also help the company to increase its popularity. I want to know how far this cooperation has progressed and what the situation is. As far as we know, last week we tested it on the website. There are still some small problems on the website.
Speaker Change #122: Well it sounds you're talking that adult eat well, that's what she sees kingdom shut.

Speaker Change #126: Sure.
Speaker Change #126: Well that was on higher sales.
Speaker Change #126: So I wouldn't think that charter.
Xueqin Dong: We are adjusting it now. I believe next week you will be able to see all the information about the 32 teams. This is, of course, a very big deal. I believe this will greatly improve Kandi's brand and sales growth. Here, I would like to explain what he said about 36-9 teams. In fact, he only has 32-9 teams.
Speaker Change #126: In short, though any mental crazy commvault shampoo satisfactory shortly that chunghwa.
Speaker Change #127: So you got a freeze on topic.
Speaker Change #127: I think that'd be a congress opinions.
Speaker Change #128: Thank you all around the same time, you can buy the punishment.
Speaker Change #128: So I mean.
Speaker Change #128: How long is Florida.
Speaker Change #129: She says.
Speaker Change #129: I forgot.
Speaker Change #129: Sure.
Xueqin Dong: So, first of all, you know, there are actually only 32 teams in the NFL, and Lowe's is the exclusive partner of the NFL to sell the golf carts branded by Kandi. And as far as the website you mentioned, we believe that there are some adjustments to be taken care of, and we estimate that all the information on the website will be shown again with such news and information by next week. Indeed, that is a very big deal for us, Kandi, and hopefully, they can promote our brand even better. Great. And then there was a related question.
Speaker Change #129: So first of all.
Speaker Change #129: They're actually only 32 teams in the NFL and Lowe's is the exclusive partner of an NFL because so the golf cart branded by Kennedy.
Speaker Change #130: And as far as that website you mentioned, we believe that there are some adjustments to be.

Speaker Change #131: Indeed that is a very big deal for them for us candy and hopefully they can put a brand even more and better.
Speaker Change #130: Okay.
Speaker Change #132: Great and then a related question.
Xueqin Dong: Then my related question is, what other products can we expect Kandi to be selling through Lowe's and Kandi NSL relationship? Unknown Attendee, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong, Arthur Porcari, Xiaoming Hu, Kandi Tech Group,,, Currently, the products being sold between Lowe's and NFL of the brand under Kandi are golf carts, and we will see how it develops in the future, but that's you know the product for golf carts for now. Thank you.
Speaker Change #133: And then my related question, what other clinics and we expect to be selling.
Ms Kennedy: Ms Kennedy and myself relationship.
Speaker Change #135: And what does that work.
Speaker Change #136: Is that when you share them.
Speaker Change #137: So she'll go through Keybank will go up unless Ohio, Thailand totally a molecule that's why I wish all of a sudden let's see how this young guns hunting.

Speaker Change #138: Brent on the Kennedy, the golf carts, and let's see how it develops in the future, but that's you know the.
The product for golf carts for now thank you.
Speaker Change #139: Okay. Next question is regarding your consultant and regarding the proposed spin.
Unknown Attendee: Okay, my next question is regarding your consultant and regarding the proposed spinoff. On the past two conference calls, questions were asked about a statement in your 10-K disclosing a consultant who was hired back in May of 2023 with the contract to terminate this month. The consultant was paid 300,000 shares of Kandi's stock worth $1 million. Allen responded that the consultant was hired for your plan to spin off the U.S. subsidiaries as one separately listed public company. Nothing else was said. Go ahead and press.
Speaker Change #140: And it just keeps conference calls questions were asked about his statement in your 10-K disclosure you consult.
Speaker Change #141: You may have.
Speaker Change #141: 23.
Speaker Change #142: Let me finish to terminate this once the consulting with phase 300000 shares of Kansas stock worth $1 million.
Henderson: Yeah Henderson.
Speaker Change #144: Consultants hired so you place in us and U S subsidiaries as Lawrence separately listed.
Speaker Change #144: Nothing else.
Speaker Change #145: Mhm interests.
Speaker Change #146: Hum once you're sure Glenn Worman mm two phone calls all day.
Kewa Luo: This question is about a consultant we hired a year ago. This consultant, we disclosed at the time, was a consultant who came to help our American wind company go public. Continue, please.
Speaker Change #146: Yeah, well, yeah, Oh cool, what you'll go along Bellshill material issue, we're not bound to a woman that was.
Speaker Change #146: Phone calls to realize I'm sure that.
Speaker Change #146: But you got cool wet.
Speaker Change #147: Continue please.
Unknown Attendee: If I understand your intent, it would be a NASDAQ listing; Kandi would retain a majority share position. The spin-off would release value of Kandi not represented in the current share price and allow it to book, as a separate company, its own sales and P&L. Based on NASDAQ minimum prices and market cap, however, logic would seem to make it mandatory that Kandi's stock price would have to be trading at least three or four times higher than currently to get an underwriting sponsor firm to manage the IPO. However, Kandi's shares have done nothing but gone down since the consultant was hired. Can you go ahead and translate this?
Speaker Change #148: If I understand your intent.
Speaker Change #148: Listing kandi would retain a majority share position.
Speaker Change #148: With release value is represented in the current share price.
Speaker Change #148: Just as a separate company sales A&P.
Speaker Change #148: Based on the.
Speaker Change #148: Minimum prices and market launch.
Speaker Change #148: Logic would seem to make it mandatory EQT stock price to be trading at least three or four chains.
Speaker Change #148: Certainly to get any easier writing sponsors for them to manage that.
Speaker Change #148: Kandi shares and getting nothing deeper down since the consultants.
Speaker Change #148: Uhm.
Speaker Change #148: I'm not sure.
Unknown Attendee: Unknown Attendee, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong, Arthur Porcari, Xiaoming Hu, Kandi Tech Group, If I understand it correctly, we want to separate Kandi from the US and make it an independent Nasdaq listed company so that Kandi can be released as an independent manufacturer of real value and have its own independent accounting system and record of profits. But it seems that since we hired this consultant, Okay, my question is, what value has the $1 million consultant contract brought to Kandi given where Kandi's share price stands today?
Speaker Change #148: Hum.
Speaker Change #149: Neither Jones, who the hotline Oh, well, Michelle Jones coffee make one up 44 I can only go to what he does not establish articles.
Speaker Change #150: Yeah, and I cannot go chiffon comedies. The way you got to what do you figure out how many of those larger now.

Speaker Change #152: Yeah, melting dogger, which as I told the team job.
Unknown Attendee: And what is the contract's current status? And has the consultant been retained again, or will he be in the near future? What I want to know is, what is the value of the $1 million we spent to hire this consultant?
Speaker Change #152: My question is what's the name.
Speaker Change #153: The 1 million dollar consultant contract Rocky Kennedy, given where it can.
Speaker Change #153: <unk> share price stands today.
The contract status as a consultant and reaching to Jim.
Speaker Change #154: Bill do you in your future.

Unknown Attendee: It didn't help the company's stock, and now we don't know the status. Have we already renewed our contract with this consultant? Can you tell us what the current situation is? We don't need to renew this contract.
Speaker Change #156: Sure for Gulf of Bengal Council Am I, saying I'm with you.
Speaker Change #156: Actually this amount of time clock.
Speaker Change #156: Okay.
Speaker Change #156: I think a good I don't know women may look like.
Speaker Change #156: Yeah.
Xueqin Dong: Although the contract is due to expire, the relevant business is still in progress. You won't waste the consultant fee. Unknown Attendee, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong, Arthur Porcari, Xiaoming Hu, Kandi Tech Group, We anticipate the spinoff will be finalized this year. When do you think this company will be completed? ??, So, first of all, you know, the plan is to do the dual listing instead of the spin-off, which is two separate concepts. And the related process is being, you know, proceeded in an orderly fashion.
Speaker Change #156: So I don't see like I thought she that sounds it sounds.

Speaker Change #156: Even though it may be that contract has.
Speaker Change #156: Despite however, they're related.
Speaker Change #156: Keeps moving.
And the whole process, it's being placebo. So we don't think those consulting fees will be wasted.

Xueqin Dong: If things go smoothly, hopefully, the whole process can be completed by the end of this year. Anticipating any new Kandi America acquisitions will be made before the spinoff will be consummated. For example, additional distribution of manufacturing facilities.
Maybe anticipating any new T&D America acquisitions to be made before the spinoffs there'll be consummated.
Speaker Change #159: Example, additional distribution and manufacturing facilities.
Speaker Change #160: And he was going to say to your point, you're cancelling for play Yahtzee, another Socal Oh.

Arthur Porcari: Well, aside from the awesome news about the Lowe's-NFL-Kandi collaboration announced today, what if any new breaking news products surprises do Kandi have for us for this year that we don't already know about? On the last conference call, no less than three times when criticized by shareholders for not sharing news on new products through press releases and also questioned about why Kandi doesn't follow the current trends reporting both GAAP and non-GAAP numbers as most analysts prefer, we were told all this would be taken into consideration in the future.

Speaker Change #272: All of this would be taken into future incineration.
Arthur Porcari: On each case, management reiterated that it could and would do better in the future. However, not only has it not done better in putting out breaking news, but it has also now extended the time since the last breaking news PR to over six months.

Kewa Luo: At the last phone conference, there were at least three comments from shareholders saying that the company's management team did not share the information released by the new product and questioned why Kandi did not report the data of US GAAP's general accounting standards and the data of non-general accounting standards at the same time, like most analysts prefer to do. In any case, the management team reiterated that they would do better. However, the company did not fulfill its promise and did not report the data. Kandi Tech Group has not made any progress in this regard.

Arthur Porcari: As witnessed by the current stock price, which has in the past traded at over $20 a share on little cash and a third of current revenues, management has lost a large amount of respect on Wall Street from its current and past shareholders due to the lack of giving updated information. For example, Kandi's added Walmart and Q423 with potentially 4,400 outlets. Camper's World, 2,200 outlets.

Arthur Porcari: Go ahead and read that to them. And Kandi has actually added a lot of new models And these models are not disclosed by the company We all saw these through the search on the website And the company's current stock price has also dropped to 2 yuan That makes the company's stock price continue to decline And we see that in addition to having many stores in Los Angeles In the second quarter of 2023, it also increased For example, there are 4,400 Walmart stores And there are 200 Campus World, which is also a listed company in New Jersey And Costco, Go ahead, continue.

Speaker Change #294: Go ahead and continue.
Arthur Porcari: This despite its brilliant redefining of its conversion from EV autos to the electric off-road business model into a primary player in the especially potential trillion-dollar electric space. Actually, more than incredible, considering it's been less than two years since Kandi introduced that first single golf cart and is already positioned in the top five of North America and growing internationally. Shareholders are upset due to the seemingly indifference by management and promises of competing, or should I say, not caring about competing for new Wall Street investors.
Speaker Change #295: Despite its brilliant redefining of its conversion from autos to electric off road business model into a primary player in especially the potential trillions of dollars electric space actually more of an incredible considering it's been less than two years since kandi introduce that first single golf cart.

Speaker Change #295: Absent to the seemingly indifference by management promises.
Speaker Change #295: With PD or should I say not carried about competing wall Street investors.
Arthur Porcari: The fact is that based on year-end 2023 five-year record results, Kandi is by far the most fundamentally undervalued and profitable NASDAQ-listed stock, now trading at a 30% discount to its $2.90 cash, 60% discount to its book value, and 35% discount to its net working capital.
Speaker Change #296: That is it based on year end 2023 five year record results candies as far as the most fundamentally undervalued profitable NASDAQ listed stock now trading at a 30% discount to its $2 90, since cash 60% discount to its book value and 35% discount to its net working capital my questions.
Arthur Porcari: My question, go ahead and read that, and I'll hit you with a question. Okay, so the company has achieved very good performance on non-public roads. In fact, since Kandi launched its first golf cart, it has improved to the top five in North America in less than two years. These are all very hard to achieve.
Speaker Change #297: I read that and I'll hit you with your questions.
Tahira: Okay Tahira.

Kewa Luo: But how can shareholders do to attract investors on Wall Street? According to Kandi's year-end financial report in 2023, Kandi is the most underestimated profit stock among current Nasdaq companies. Its trading price has a discount of more than 30% for a cash value of $2.9.

Arthur Porcari: Unknown Speaker, Xiaoming Hu, Kandi Tech Group, Unknown Attendee, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong, Arthur Porcari, Xiaoming Hu, Kandi Tech Group, Okay, here's a quick question. I've got four questions, and a couple I just passed on. Does management, who collectively own only 17% of Kandi's stock, feel any concern at all that some Chinese entity could come make a buyout tender offer at double the current $2.30 price and still end up buying Kandi, the whole company, at a discount to its $5 share book value and additionally accomplish most of its heavy lifting by using Kandi's own $2.90 share cash to steal that control?
It sounds like you're telling me is as you know your bathroom yoshi retro cool salary equal.

Arthur Porcari: I want to ask you, Kandi's management has only 17% of its shares. Are you worried that a Chinese entity may launch a purchase of the company at a price of $2.3? In fact, even if such a two-fold share price is less than $5, it can buy the whole company. Are you worried about this? In addition, do you mainly use Kandi's own $2.9 cash to complete the transaction of this control Thank you very much for your concern and reminder. We will evaluate and take appropriate measures to avoid such risks. So, thank you very much for your concern and reminder. We will carefully evaluate and take appropriate measures to avoid such a risk.

Why is management wasting shareholder value by paying for three different IR groups each month but not taking the good advice that I'm sure each has at times offered? And if that's not true, they haven't offered that, then that's a good reason to fire them all. Bye.
Speaker Change #314: Why is management wasting shareholder value by paying for three different IR groups, each month, but not taking the good advice and I am sure. Each has at times offered and if that's not true. They haven't offered that then that's a good reason to fire them all.
Speaker Change #314: That's that one on.
Speaker Change #315: Uh huh.
Kewa Luo: Unknown Attendee, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong, Arthur Porcari, Xiaoming Hu, Kandi Tech Group, I don't know who you are talking about, but we only have one AI team in Nancheng Mountain at the moment. As the company has been in a strategic adjustment period for the past two years, we still stick to the concept of small talk and do more. , Currently, we only employ one IL firm, that is, the Blue Shirt Group, so we actually don't have three separate IL teams. And because the company is currently in a period of strategic adjustments to be more focused on the golf cart and off-road vehicles in the U.S. market, we still adhere to the idea that just to do more and talk less. As our strategic adjustment gradually takes shape, we will be more proactive in Actually, I think you should.
Speaker Change #315: Has that kind of thing you don't worry about it.
Arthur Porcari: Well, you certainly have two, if not three, because Kandi America seems to use a trade IR group. And sometimes that pops up as press releases, but most of the time it doesn't as far as Wall Street and new services are concerned. Pass that on just as, [inaudible] Is that the name of the IR group? I don't know.
Speaker Change #315: Let's see what else am I want to see a woman one cycle and to wish him I'm glad he comes out of long cycle on that who don't have jobs to fool with sound up with Honda I Hope one day, they'll feel Iot application.
Speaker Change #316: You're going to Jackson, but yeah, you know what.
Speaker Change #316: English English you're shipping food for the high Na I'm joking on E O T T O.
Speaker Change #317: Ms Lillian.
Speaker Change #317: Okay.
Speaker Change #317: So there's some good things.
Speaker Change #317: But there's always let's say a woman with a chance to pin came along things that you could do that.
Speaker Change #317: Jay you can search for a chance to down convert shoes, you got soundly accountancy.
Speaker Change #318: Hi, This is being thing Sean talk board shortly yes.
Speaker Change #319: Is that a woman sorry, we are talking about sort of pushing things shall I won't go away.
Allison: Thank you Allison.
Allison: Okay.
Speaker Change #321: Currently we only employ one IL from that is that blue shirt group.
Speaker Change #322: So wedge or we don't have three separate Io team and because apparently company used in the period.
Speaker Change #322: But they ship adjustments to be more focused on the top call. It after auto vehicles in the U S market.
Speaker Change #322: We do have here to the idea that.
Speaker Change #322: Do more on top of that.
Speaker Change #322: As our strategic adjustment gradually take shape.
Speaker Change #322: It'll be more proactive in making that we made the adjustments in our pronouncement and the IL approach. Thank you.
Speaker Change #323: Actually I think you do well you certainly have two if not three because candy America seems to use a trade IR group.
Speaker Change #323: And sometimes that Pops up as press releases, but most of the time does as far as Wall Street.
Speaker Change #323: New services are concerned.
Speaker Change #323: Pass that on and just as a response.
Speaker Change #324: You mean guy Youll buy to solve a real kind of dog how do you make all your Vishal I think he says you know on July you'll kind of are you glad you all you said American trade.
Speaker Change #324: It doesn't name off the IR.
Speaker Change #324: I don't know whoever it is an IR firm the Candy America uses.
Kewa Luo: There's an IR firm that Kandi America uses. Unknown Attendee, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong, Arthur Porcari, Xiaoming Hu, Kandi Tech Group. All right, I'm in. We believe that there are some separate I.O. teams; we work on a contract basis for U.S. entities, but, you know, at the group level, we employ one I.O. firm that takes care of our public information and investor relations purposes.
Speaker Change #324: Sure.
Speaker Change #324: Some of them International I see a country make why you know the short how possible bolt on kind of how long ago, that's supposed to die off.
Speaker Change #325: That's a comment since you guys made a change.
Speaker Change #325: Okay.
Speaker Change #325: Okay.
Speaker Change #325: Okay.
Speaker Change #325: Alright.
Speaker Change #325: And then.
Speaker Change #325: Yes.
Speaker Change #325: Hello.
Speaker Change #325: Separate I O P. M. We are working on a contract basis.
Speaker Change #325: You had entities, but you know I'm in the group level, we employed one IL from their tickets, although you know public information.
Speaker Change #325: Investor relationship purpose.
Speaker Change #326: Well I just find it hard to believe that.
Arthur Porcari: Well, I just find it hard to believe that with everything good that's going on after 15 years with Kandi now, where we used to do 40 press releases a year, now we're doing almost none when it comes to breaking news. And I think it has to do with Unknown Attendee, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong, Arthur Porcari, Xiaoming Hu, Kandi Tech Group. I just find In the past, Kandi was very, very active.
Speaker Change #326: With everything that's going on.
Speaker Change #326: Teen years with Candy now.
Speaker Change #326: We used to do 40 press releases a year now we're doing almost none when it comes to breaking news and I think it has to do with.
Kewa Luo: It would have 40 announcements a year. But now, compared to this, there are almost no announcements about the company's business. I just think the company should emphasize the importance of IR at the headquarters. A lot of the news should be sent out by the listed company, Kandi, to integrate the efforts of IR and market promotion. , Unknown Attendee, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong, Arthur Porcari, Xiaoming Hu, Kandi Tech Group, Yeah, I think we will do the related adjustments on the road, and you will see the results in the meantime.
Speaker Change #326: Splitting up of the IR responsibilities. It seems like the parent company should be the one that put out the I R. Just an opinion.
Speaker Change #327: Oh did you say this is the 19th Johnson's usually have gone through some of those dishes Dae gon.
Speaker Change #328: I told you you can't initial whole come to you say healthier or yeah, Yeah Wei.
Speaker Change #329: So she can't go on call I said that on Sunday, and you guys along with vehicles a year with a phone call. It's equal meal. Once you figure. It out. So you can go y'all them, but you know to share thoughts as I always I say, that's always enough on diagnosis on pool I'm looking like industrial it sounds like one for the comedy life Oswald.
Speaker Change #330: Like what's your tongue heritage all I R. I told you she is she's home.
Speaker Change #331: Tweet a T cell that Gee, if I'm right on the money.
Speaker Change #330: Yeah.
Speaker Change #330: So you'll probably hear about it you got angry at me if it wasn't dog picture since Sheila.
Speaker Change #332: Tell me in front of the counter.
Speaker Change #332: Yeah.
Speaker Change #332: Yes, I think we will do that we laid out judgments on the road and you would see that without ongoing thank you.
Arthur Porcari: Thank you. Okay, on to my request for my questions. Several years ago, management promised shareholders that once Kandi had a predictable, growing revenue stream, the company would start giving revenue and earnings guidance, mandatory to attract analysts and institutions, particularly in this competitive stock. However, over the past three years, despite a much stronger balance sheet, Kandi's institutional holdings dropped from a peak of 15% to 3.6%.
Speaker Change #333: Okay onto my best of my questions. Several years ago management problem is shareholders. Once Kennedy has a predictable growing revenue stream that somebody would start giving revenue and earnings guidance mandatory to attract analysts institutions, particularly in this competitive stock market over the past three years. Despite a much stronger balance sheet candies institutional holdings has dropped from a peak.
Speaker Change #334: 15% to three 6% can management give any reason why it refuses to confirm too.
Arthur Porcari: Can management give any reason why it refuses to confirm to the Wall Street Desire for Guidance and also non-GAP in addition to GAP numbers as it did in the last two quarters, I'm sorry, as it did in the last two years of the prior CFOs? A few years ago, Guan Yichen made a promise that once Kandi had predictable income growth, Kandi would start to provide income and profit predictions. This is also a necessary condition for attracting analysts and institutional investors, especially in this competitive market.
Speaker Change #334: The Wall Street desire for guidance and also non-GAAP and in addition to GAAP numbers as it did in the last two quarters and I'm.
Speaker Change #335: I'm sorry, as it did in the last two years at the prior CFO Mr.
Speaker Change #336: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #337: And I know Glenn anything you alternately feel like you're bound cangiano clean, especially with him down until corner kind of joke like heightened Hugo So I can really tell.
Speaker Change #338: So he's a friend he feels like he got closer to the Pea alcohols, Yes, Iot sits I say that sometimes you need a sitcom Joel you uncle he suddenly in Colombia towers alcohol, probably gosh I don't come to you that you go to Corporately not yet Ponce he called the 500 sure with SASSA on follow up I have moved your Sunday Neil.
Arthur Porcari: Although Kandi's financial situation has improved significantly in the past three years, Kandi's shareholding ratio has also dropped from 15% to 3.6%. [inaudible] Unknown Attendee,, Thank you for your suggestions. We will further evaluate and complement your suggestions and opinion and implement them in our procedures. Thank you. Okay, on the last conference call, Mr. Hu gave a response from Mr. Hu that some management would be considered personally buying back shares in the open market, as they did three years ago when they paid more than double the current price personally, and at the time, cash in the bank was but a fraction where it is today.
Speaker Change #338: While he's well known for T. I sure wish him much luck kills yet well then that's when you'll hydrogen so golf with you what's changed yet so what's the thinking going so high as well Tonight that he was on the whole. They told why he's gone so that hinge on social life, and so going through the Ah Yeah, Yeah, what I can do all sorts out its you can launch.
Speaker Change #339: Yeah, she chemicals as a CFO.
Speaker Change #340: Your passenger.
Speaker Change #340: Hugo.
Speaker Change #341: How are you today.
Speaker Change #341: Okay.
Speaker Change #341: Yeah.
Speaker Change #341: Well I mean look we're seeing bookings when you have a J.
Speaker Change #342: Thank you for that suggestion, we will further evaluate and complaint they are your your suggestion opinion.
Speaker Change #342: You know our procedures. Thank you.
Speaker Change #343: Okay last conference call sorry response from Mr. Hu, that's some management would be considered personally buying back shares in the open market as they did three years ago when they paid more than double the current price personally and then time cashing it backwards, but a fraction where it is today.
Arthur Porcari: Open market company share buybacks are appreciated, but due to Kandi's low daily volume, the 20% average volume maximum number of shares that can be purchased under the current 10B5 plan has been limited to maybe 15 or 20,000 shares per day. Why doesn't the company just make a straight $3.50 share tender offer for at least 10 million shares of stock, which would only use 15% of its cash?
Speaker Change #344: Open market companies share buybacks or appreciated, but duty candies low daily volume the 20% average volume maximum number of shares that can be purchased under the current <unk> plan has been limited to maybe 15 or 20000 shares per day.
Speaker Change #345: Why doesn't the company, just making a straight $3.50 a share tender offer for at least 10 million shares of stock, which would only use 15% of its cash.
Arthur Porcari: I doubt it would be fully subscribed due to the stock quickly jumping above that price once shareholders realize management is serious about increasing shareholder value. Most importantly, such an action by an EV-related company in this specific market would get a lot of attention that one could not afford to pay for. At the last telephone conference, Mr. Hu said that some management may consider rebuying shares in the public market, as in the first three years. At that time, the current price was more than twice as high as it is now. At that time, the cash in the bank was only a small part compared to now.
Speaker Change #345: Doubt it would be fully subscribed stock quickly jumping above that price one children's realized management is serious about increasing shareowner value. Most importantly, such an action by an EV related company in this specific market, we're getting a lot of attention that one could not afford to pay for.
Speaker Change #345: Pass that on.
Speaker Change #346: It sounds like hopefully you found though if we go on somebody else's or where you can't go out and telephone I'll play calia.
Speaker Change #347: Sounds <unk>, Sunny and nigh on cycle high for hot chocolate and cocoa.
Speaker Change #348: A doctor of Jostling alfieri downturn it sounds it she sends her that.
Pedro: Pedro I bounces, new Huh, that's something that you should send out a.
Speaker Change #350: Some pieces like yourself with the knuckle boom Crane halfway go cool friends see actual claim that it should not come to usually come in cellular D country should be without doing a few Hopkins you may you can't uncle medical virtually all your songs inside Diana My uncle, not wish I'm not gonna slip one I'm going to take your thoughts it yeah.
Kewa Luo: Although it is very popular to rebuy shares in the public market, the daily trading volume of Kandi is very low. According to the 10B5 plan, the average number of shares that can be purchased per day is limited to about 20,000 shares. The share price may exceed what we expected. The most important thing is that for an electric car industry-related company, such a move will be very, very much in the market. This is the propaganda effect that money can't buy.
Speaker Change #350: To solve my E tail Mount Sinai, how you analyze some tuned up I'm just sure now how are you somehow that sounds that I shall go now I tell you what.
Speaker Change #352: Well hi.

Arthur Porcari: ??, Thank you for your suggestions, and we appreciate that. We'll take them into deep consideration and evaluate and react properly. Thank you. Okay, well, that ends my formal questions that I had for you, but I have just a few questions on what was recently announced today and what we said at the conference. I might add.
Speaker Change #354: A woman.
Speaker Change #351: Okay.
Speaker Change #351: Cool.
Speaker Change #355: Thank you have plenty of suggestions and we appreciate that really digging in deep consideration and are you about it.
Speaker Change #355: And we have properly thank you.
Okay, well that ends my formal questions that I had for you, but that's just a few questions on what was recently announced today, what we've said on the conference call I might add.
Arthur Porcari: As I addressed earlier in my comments, we keep getting the same thing. We'll take it under consideration, take it under consideration. We've been hearing that for years now.
Speaker Change #356: Addressed earlier in my comments, we keep getting the same thing well, we'll take under consideration take under consideration we've been hearing that for years now.
Speaker Change #355:
Arthur Porcari: But yeah, go ahead and pass that on, and I'll go on to some follow-ups on the news. I have some questions, but I would like to emphasize that we have made a lot of suggestions on previous phone calls, and the company has always responded by saying, we will consider it, we will consider it. When we hear such a response, we are already... We've been hearing this kind of response for many years. I have a few related questions to ask the management team, continue. Please.
Speaker Change #355: But oh yeah.
Speaker Change #357: Yeah go ahead and pass that on and then I'll go onto some follow up something.
Speaker Change #357: Came out.
Speaker Change #358: On petrol How's the run to you Duncan and I will just yeah I found out was that you'll show right that you don't wait say a woman I shouldn't say, a Halloween xiaomi elements each one of them.

Daniela: Well, that's not downlink way pretty good I'm Daniela.
Daniela: Well he had Iot Gretzky would have somebody that wants a yellow in Guangzhou.
Daniela: Continue.
Daniela: Great.
Arthur Porcari: Okay, now again, these are just some follow-ups to what's been said. Regarding the Lowe's 500 stores, I've polled personally, down in my Houston area, at least three Lowe's stores, and two of them, I actually know the managers in that department, and they were under the impression that Lowe's had all 2,500 stores, or whatever it is, all 2,400 stores available to be buying Kandi But I guess it's good news if we've been doing what we have with only 500 stores, and I can't believe that this NFL thing that we're doing now isn't probably going to expand to almost all the stores. I just heard that you are now cooperating with 500 Lowe's stores. I have been to 3 stores in Texas and talked to their managers.
Speaker Change #361: Okay now that you're getting these are just some follow up somewhat with what's been said regarding the loans 500 stores.
Speaker Change #362: Oh personally.
Speaker Change #362: Houston area.
Speaker Change #362: At least three <unk> stores and two of them I actually know the managers in that department and they were under the impression that Lowe's.
Speaker Change #362: And all 2500 stores or 20, whatever it is 2400 stores available to be.
Speaker Change #363: Yeah, Brian can these products.
Speaker Change #364: But I guess, it's good news that we've been doing what we have with only 500 stores.
Speaker Change #364: I can't believe this Nf L. A thing that we're doing now isn't going to probably expand to almost all of the stores.
Speaker Change #364: Pass that on.
Speaker Change #364: Yeah.
Speaker Change #365: Wisconsin thousands of calls sourcing that you can close the Woodbine yeah, Yeah. That's why I'm. So tell me what the total lifetime by wheelchair I E. Sun's yeah, Yeah in Chicago, a whale crunches and at the end of June.
Arthur Porcari: According to them, more than 2,000 Lowe's stores could sell Kandi products. Of course, I am very happy to hear about Kandi's current approach. And the cooperation with the NFL is also very exciting. Please continue. Well, that was actually a question, but okay. What was the question you said? Well, that was a question I had specifically about that subject, that I was talking about the 500 stores, if they had any further comment, they probably would have had any further comment on that. But anyway, that's just what I've heard from the Lowe's manager. Okay, this one's interesting.
Speaker Change #365: All the goodness how much what is your share a little spelled out and tell all by itself would you announce yet okay. Let's see here shows the leverage of the odds are that someone else into China. Those are crazy I, social county by County, there hadn't been a bundle sure hung somehow gone condensate that is down the sofa I said since alpha M. S elder.
Speaker Change #366: Jamba thoughts on I guess your hunting I think Linda.
Speaker Change #367: Please continue.
Speaker Change #367: Yes.
Speaker Change #368: Well that was actually a question, but okay.
Speaker Change #369: A question on yourself.
Speaker Change #369: Well that wasn't that wasn't a question specifically about that subject that I was talking about 500 stores if they had any further.
Speaker Change #369: Do you have any further comment on that but that's just what I've heard from the lowest managers.
Arthur Porcari: You know, I've said over the past few years how soon I think they would be able to pass Polaris. I think Mr. Hu even made a comment on that a few years ago once we got involved in this industry. But what fascinates me is the missing link to Polaris is water sports. Today's press release actually mentioned we're getting into water sports, so I'd like more explanation of what that's all about. I'm sorry, can you repeat your question one more time?
Speaker Change #369: Okay.
Speaker Change #369: This one is interesting I've said over the past few years charging.
Speaker Change #369: Charlie.
Speaker Change #370: And how soon you think they would be able to pass Polaris I think Mr. Hu, even made a comment on that a few years ago. When she got involved in this industry, but what fascinates me is the missing link the Polaris there's water sports.
Speaker Change #370: This call today's press release actually mentioned, we're getting into water sports. So I like more explanation what that's all about.
Speaker Change #370: Okay.
Speaker Change #370:
Speaker Change #371: I'm sorry to your question one more time okay.
Arthur Porcari: Okay. What I'm saying is that in the past, I had chided management by kiddingly asking them how soon they could pass Polaris in this off-road vehicle industry, but the missing link at that time to Polaris was that it was also well known for its water sports. So my question is, today's press release specifically mentioned water sports as being a new product line you're getting into. Can you expand more on what that water sports is about?
Speaker Change #371: What I'm, saying is is that in the past I chatted management by Kiddingly, asking and how soon they could pass Polaris.
Speaker Change #371: And this off road vehicle industry, but the missing link at that time to Polaris is Polaris is well known also for its water sports.
Speaker Change #372: So my question is today's press release, specifically mentioned water sports has been a new product line, they're getting into and expand more on what that sports is about oh, okay. Okay.
Arthur Porcari: Okay, okay. So a long time ago, when I was talking to the management team, they mentioned North Star and Poirier. And we were very excited to see that today's news also mentioned that we're going to be adding more water sports products. So what can the management team say about competing with North Star and even surpassing them? Is there anything you can share with us?
Speaker Change #373: And now we'll go one time sale quite a show on a funny thing, but she talks a lot like where that shows up agency placed in Oklahoma right now.
Speaker Change #374: Oh, My God, It seems I'm coming out to hear that.
Speaker Change #375: This is a see when you see that with myself with them got history. It sounds hunting license. They are going to look Waddington blades, where should you hold all the hundreds of pages in conjunction judge how would how long you know somebody on that K K L. Shaw the key goal of my friends out there.
Speaker Change #374:
Xueqin Dong: We did not say that we would go beyond Beijing or compete with it. We will launch... Now, in the US market, pure electric water-based products are still very small. So we are now doing pure electric products. We will do some development on non-public roads and water-based products, such as individual boats and fishing boats. Unknown Attendee, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong, Arthur Porcari, Xiaoming Hu, Kandi Tech Group, The sound of the blue and red balloons is very loud, which will affect the effect of fishing. If we use pure electricity, the sound will be very clear, which is good for the whole city.
Speaker Change #374: So how big do you think was the conductor team.
Speaker Change #376: Quite peaceful Joseph Sendai family.
Speaker Change #374: Tom.
Speaker Change #374: In some industries. Some time doing is looking to Shanghai, So why am I, saying, that's what it is from Dan Donlan of Hampton My Women's latest time frequently don't because I could.

Susan: Sure Susan Retrofitting tool, so I want to say a piece, we've just seen good times.
Susan: Yeah.
Kewa Luo: So, first of all, we try to focus on our own development of new products, especially electric, you know, the pure electric, you know, off-road, and then the water sports, you know, products. We try not to compete with anyone but try to focus on our own, you know, Unknown Attendee, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong, Arthur Porcari, Xiaoming Hu, Kandi Tech Group research and development into the new products of the pure electric water sports products, and hopefully, we can have more updates to share when we have more concrete developments. Are we talking wave runners here, like Polaris has, or are we just talking about motors for electric motors for fishing boats? What are we specifically talking about in water sports or both?
Susan: So first of all we try to focus on our own development of the new products, especially the.
Susan: The electric.
Susan: The Purion H right now.
Susan: Off road and then what exports.
Susan: Product.
Susan: Try not to compete with anyone but tried to focus on their own you know development.
Susan: As for the water sports primarily now in a ball cap you may see the sport yacht and yacht they are running in the gas.
Susan: Just noisy in May they were hurt the fishing the mpls so we try to.
Susan: Search and development into the new product of the pure electric water sports product and hopefully weekend have more update per share when you have more Congress development.
Speaker Change #378: Are we talking wave runners here.
Speaker Change #379: Polaris has or are we just talking like motors for electric motors for fishing boats, what are we specifically talking about motor sports or both.
I'm confident that once you sign something that sounds almost four cylinder.
Arthur Porcari: Can you talk about the product we talked about earlier? Alan, please translate this. I don't know which product he is talking about. Hi, Kewa.
Alan Leong: Yeah, Alan who signs out at all because of the high school.

Speaker Change #381: Island.
Speaker Change #382: Hi, Corrado.
Kewa Luo: Hey, can you translate what he just asked? He said he was referring to what we refer to as... He wants to know what kind of products we are talking about. Whether it's fishing, personal swimming boats, speed boats, etc. Or maybe those bigger ones.
Speaker Change #382: Oh, all sorts of Hussein's I'll pass on that one as you thought possible.
Speaker Change #382: Well that's it.
Also I'm going to show a bunch as well.
Speaker Change #382: Okay.

Speaker Change #382: So do you feel good in our salad kit.
Speaker Change #383: Quieting down, though what is your name Sir.
Speaker Change #383: It does seem that you know somebody said something about them just yet.
Kewa Luo: Do you have any ideas at the moment? Unknown Attendee, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong, Arthur Porcari, Xiaoming Hu, Kandi Tech Group So, currently, we are focused on developing those water sports on a rather small scale like the fishing boat or the yacht for individuals, you know, a one-man, you know, yacht kind of scale of the product. That's our, you know, category of Powering D right now. I assume you mean by one man yacht wave runners or jet skis? Yeah, a rather jet-skied kind of battle.
Tom: Which element that I brought us tell you Tom.
Kewa Luo: Oh, that's great. It's super. Okay. Unknown Attendee, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong, Arthur Porcari, Xiaoming Hu, Kandi Tech Group, [inaudible] Unknown Attendee, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong, Arthur Porcari, Xiaoming Hu, Kandi Tech Group,,, Alan,?? Unknown Attendee, Kewa Luo, Xueqin Dong, Arthur Porcari, Xiaoming Hu, Kandi Tech Group, This is a motorboat; we call it a speedboat because there is a person sitting inside.
Tom: Hey.
Good.
Speaker Change #384: Hi, Pete.
Speaker Change #384: And getting them trained and doing that woman is for high rather than doing the deal.
Speaker Change #385: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #385: Finally ended up quite a bit.
Speaker Change #385: Yeah.
Speaker Change #385: So currently we are focused in the developing those are the what are the sports is rather small scale like the fishing boat or the yacht for individual one man.
Speaker Change #386: You've got kind of scale up that product.

Speaker Change #392: I'm not sure. It was this time same time being connected to but I got it.
Mhm, so on to be more specific the Jessica you mentioned that the comments that we have in the market, but what we tried to do is I'd, rather not the jetski, but rather like kind of a speed boat or they got kind of haynesville, we can actually sit in there, but that's only for a one person's life.
Speaker Change #392: Is it clear so it's not really jetski, but rather the style of the boat or the speedboat.

Kewa Luo: That's the new style, other than the common, you know, order sports product in the market right now. So it would probably be a patented situation like the mini was, that you released earlier this year. If you start, do we also have to have a patent?
Speaker Change #395: The sports product in the market right now.
So it would probably be a patented situation like the many ways that.
Speaker Change #396: You released earlier this year.
Speaker Change #397: Actually look when you talk to me when he takes hold on your part so as you say you'll do that.
Speaker Change #398: Yeah hopefully.
Kewa Luo: You know, this is our own patent. And that will be our own pattern. Right. Another one of our own patterns.

Speaker Change #398: The potential is NFL collaboration to me is just incredible.
Arthur Porcari: You know, I can't imagine. Maybe you should take off a six-passenger golf cart and whack off the back seat in it and put a barbecue grill back there. People like doing that type of stuff at sports events in the United States over here.
Speaker Change #400: You know I can't imagine maybe you should take off a six passenger golf carton whack off the back seat and put an apartment to grill back there yeah.
Speaker Change #401: People liked like that doing that type of stuff at the sports events in the United States over here.
Arthur Porcari: But anyway, that's just a comment. So, let's see here. [inaudible] I guess the highlight of this was, I'm glad to hear that that 2025 estimate of $500 million is still a target of Kandi. Sorry about that. Don't... ... ... ... ... ... .., sorry about the phone ringing over here.

Speaker Change #402: Sorry about this.
It's still.
Speaker Change #402: [music].
Speaker Change #404: I'm, sorry about the phone rang and over here anyway, as I said I think that the.
Arthur Porcari: Anyway, as I said, I think that that 500 million, 2025 number should make a dramatic difference in the stock price if we can just get the story out. Oh, one last question, too. You've mentioned that you're already in 10 more, 10 big box chains already, if I understood correctly earlier, correct? We only know about five, at least that I'm aware of. So at some point in time, will we be disclosed to the other five arcs?
Speaker Change #404: 500 million a.
Speaker Change #404: 2025 number.
Speaker Change #404: Should make a dramatic difference in the stock price.
Speaker Change #405: If we could just get the story out of one last question. Two you've mentioned majority in 10 more 10 10 big box changed already if I understood earlier.
Speaker Change #406: We only know about five.
Speaker Change #407: At least that I'm aware of.
Speaker Change #408: So at some point in time, when we'd be disclosed to the other five are.
Speaker Change #409: Okay talk I'm sure some of them do I have to ask Angela.
Arthur Porcari: Okay, he just said so much. He mainly said that he was very happy to see us working with AFL and Lowe's. He said that maybe we could get rid of the back row of the seven-seater golf cart and put a grill on top of it because, in the U.S., a lot of people like to drive out to do barbecues.
Speaker Change #410: Also possibly Thom the Dawson 10 dollar Mark on F. L. Hello, So that's a lot higher so I'm, okay with all of them and then they got social calls, which were the chance or the home would allow the pie not that had to do some of them found religion.

Speaker Change #410: Hum.
Speaker Change #410: Although now I'm glad you asked it so on so it's a cultural change that I shall call something that I just didn't know what he thought he might.
Arthur Porcari: This is just my opinion. In addition, he was also very happy to hear that the company is re-evaluating its $500 million revenue forecast for 2025. He felt that this would help the stock market's interest in our stock market and the stock price's growth. And on the last question, he said that he had heard that the company is now working with 10 large supermarket chains. As far as I know, there are 5 companies that have been directly or indirectly disclosed from the company.
