NEW YORK, Jan. 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bernstein Liebhard, a nationally acclaimed investor rights law firm, reminds investors of the deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in a securities class action lawsuit that has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the securities of Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. ("Kandi" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: KNDI) from March 15, 2019 through November 27, 2020 (the "Class Period"). The lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Kandi artificially inflated its reported revenues through undisclosed related party transactions, or otherwise had relationships with key customers that indicated those customers did not have an arms length relationship with Kandi; (2) the majority of Kandis sales in the past year had been to undisclosed related parties and/or parties with such a close relationship and history with Kandi that it cast doubt on the arms-length nature of their relationship; (3) all the foregoing, once revealed, was foreseeably likely to cast doubt on the validity of Kandis reported revenues and, in turn, have a foreseeable negative impact on the Companys reputation and valuation; and (4) as a result, the Companys public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On November 30, 2020, Hindenburg Research (Hindenburg) published a report entitled: Kandi: How This China-Based NASDAQ-Listed Company Used Fake Sales, EV Hype to Nab $160 Million From U.S. Investors. Citing extensive on-the-ground inspection at Kandis factories and customer locations in China, interviews with over a dozen former employees and business partners, and review of numerous litigation documents and international public records, the Hindenburg report asserted that almost 64% of Kandis sales over the year have been to undisclosed related parties. The report also alleged that [Kandi] has consistently booked revenue it cannot collect, a classic hallmark of fake revenue[.]

Following publication of the Hindenburg report, Kandis stock price fell $3.86 per share, or 28.34%, to close at $9.76 per share on November 30, 2020.
