Jinhao Motor is primarily engaged in the production and distribution of motorcycles and small engines. The overseas market accounts for approximately 78.63% of our sales with the domestic market making up the remaining. JinHao Power has invested over $45 million into R&D for electric vehicles, and we have entered into exclusive patent license agreements for 2 patents to be used in the production of electric vehicles. In 2006, JinHao Power began a research and development of electric vehicles and in 2009. The Company established an electric vehicle manufacturing plant with over 215,000 square feet. JinHao Power has developed and manufactured prototypes of two models of electric vehicles, a compact two-door and a mid-size four-door, both of which are used in city and highway environments. Since October 2009, JinHao Power has delivered over 1,500 units of electric vehicles to its customers both domestically and internationally. JinHao Power has sales agency agreements with six distributors across China, and overseas has sales contracts with distributors from Spain, Finland, Italy, Chile and Thailand. The Company will be focused on developing distribution channels into the EU and the United States. The Company believes that its electric vehicles are priced much lower than similar models produced by other car manufacturers in the international market. Jinhao Motor’s primary strength lies in its existing strong global sales distribution network from our motorcycle business. The Company plans to leverage that strength and expand its business with electric vehicles.
On August 11, 2010, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors, for 6,857,204 units at a purchase price of $4.37496 per unit.
