CHINA DIRECT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2010

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Business and Organization

China Direct Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation and its subsidiaries are referred to in this report as “we”, “us”, “our”, or “China Direct Industries”.

We are a U.S. company that manages a portfolio of Chinese entities. We also provide consulting services to both American and Chinese businesses. We operate in three identifiable segments: Magnesium, Basic Materials and Consulting in accordance with the Financial Standard Board Accounting Standard Codifications (ASC) 280, “Segment Reporting”. In 2006 we established our Magnesium and Basic Materials segments which have grown through acquisitions of controlling interests of Chinese private companies. We consolidate these acquisitions as either wholly or majority owned subsidiaries. Through this ownership control, we provide management, marketing, sales, and business development services, strategic planning, macroeconomic industry analysis and financial management seeking to improve the quality and performance of each portfolio company. We also provide our subsidiaries with investment capital and loans to expand their businesses.

In our Magnesium segment, currently our largest segment by assets, and prior to the 2009 transition period, our largest segment by revenues and assets, we produce, sell and distribute pure magnesium ingots, magnesium powder and magnesium scraps.

In our Basic Materials segment, we sell and distribute a variety of products including industrial grade synthetic chemicals, steel products, non ferrous metals, recycled materials, and industrial commodities. This segment also includes our zinc ore mining property and zinc concentrate distribution businesses which have not commenced operations.

In our Consulting segment, we provide a suite of consulting services to U.S. public companies that operate primarily in China. The consulting fees we charge vary based upon the scope of the services to be rendered.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Restatement of financial statements disclosure

The December 31, 2008 financial statements included in our Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2009, contained an error related to the method of calculating the other-than-temporary impairment of securities available for sale. Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity, and consolidated statement of cash flows for fiscal 2008 have been restated in our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (the “2009 Transition Report on Form 10-K”) to correct the accounting treatment previously accorded the other-than-temporary impairment transaction. Furthermore, we discontinued a component of our business which also affected our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the 2009 Transition Report on Form 10-K.

The effect of correcting this error and the discontinued operations on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008, and consolidated statement of operations and statement of cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2008 is shown in the table below. There was no net effect on comprehensive income from this error and all other changes to our consolidated statement of equity will be shown in the tables provided for in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, for accounts effected by the restatement error, adjustments related to the retroactive presentation of discontinued operations are also shown.

Basis of Presentation

Change in Fiscal Year

Effective August 13, 2009, we changed our fiscal year end from December 31 to September 30. We have defined various periods that are covered in this report as follows:

	•		“third quarter of fiscal 2010” — April 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
	•		“three months ended June 30, 2009” — April 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009.
	•		“first nine months of fiscal 2010” — October 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.
	•		“nine months ended June 30, 2009” — October 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009.
	•		“fiscal 2010” — October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010.
	•		“2009 transition period” — January 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009.
	•		“fiscal 2008” — January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008.
	•		“fiscal 2007” — January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007.

Our audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. However, the information included in these interim financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The consolidated balance sheet information as of September 30, 2009 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation and to disclose our reclassification of discontinued operations treatment of Pan Asia Magnesium and a reclassification of revenues for intercompany interest income which should have been booked as Other Payables – Related Parties. See Note 4 – Comprehensive Income (loss).

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in the 2009 Transition Period and the nine months ended June 30, 2010 include the valuation of investments held for sale, the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the fair value of stock-based compensation, and the useful life of property, plant and equipment.

We rely on assumptions such as volatility, forfeiture rate, and expected dividend yield when deriving the grant date fair value of share-based compensation. If an equity award is modified, and we expect the service conditions of the original award will be met, we will adjust our assumptions and estimates as of the modification date and compare the old equity award valued at the modification date with the new equity award valued at the modification date to calculate any incremental cost. We then continue to recognize the original grant date fair value plus any incremental cost over the modified service period.

Our estimate for allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an evaluation of our outstanding accounts receivable including the aging of amounts due, the financial condition of our specific customers, knowledge of our industry segment in Asia, and historical bad debt experience. This evaluation methodology has proven to provide a reasonable estimate of bad debt expense in the past and we intend to continue to employ this approach in our analysis of collectability. However, we are aware that given the current global economic situation, including that of China, meaningful time horizons may change. We intend to enhance our focus on the evaluation of our customers' sustainability and adjust our estimates as may be required.

We group property plant and equipment into similar groups of assets and estimate the useful life of each group of assets; see Note 7 – Property, Plant and Equipment for further information on asset groups and estimated useful lives.

Assumptions and estimates employed in these areas are material to our reported financial condition and results of operations. These assumptions and estimates have been materially accurate in the past and are not expected to materially change in the future. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying values of these investments approximate their fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risks

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. We deposit our cash with high credit quality financial institutions in the United States and China. As of June 30, 2010, we had no bank deposits in the United States that exceeded federally insured limits. At June 30, 2010, we had deposits of $5,730,801 in banks in China. In China, there is no equivalent federal deposit insurance as in the United States, so the amounts held in banks in China are not insured. We have not experienced any losses in such bank accounts through June 30, 2010.

At June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, bank deposits by geographic area were as follows:

Country	June 30, 2010				September 30, 2009
United States	$	8,666,901	60	%	$	8,625,782	67	%
China		5,730,801	40	%		4,225,528	33	%
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	14,397,702	100	%	$	12,851,310	100	%

In an effort to mitigate any potential risk, we periodically evaluate the credit quality of the financial institutions at which we hold deposits, both in the United States and China.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. We have established an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors pertaining to the credit risks of specific customers, historical trends, aging of the receivable and other information. Delinquent accounts are written off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible. At June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, allowances for doubtful accounts were $127,089 and $745,786, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method. Inventories as of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 were $7,235,355 and $5,806,722, respectively. Due to the nature of our business and the short duration of the manufacturing process of our products, there was no material work-in-process inventory at June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We adopted on a prospective basis certain required provisions of Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. Those provisions relate to our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value and our fair value disclosures related to financial assets and liabilities. Topic 820 defines fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs to fair value measurements - Level 1, meaning the use of quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2, meaning the use of quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, meaning the use of unobservable inputs. Observable market data should be used when available.

All of our financial instruments are carried at fair value, including, all of our cash equivalents, investments classified as available for sale securities and assets held for sale, with unrealized gains or losses, net of tax. Virtually all of our valuation measurements are Level 1 measurements.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities held for sale and marketable securities held for sale-related party at June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 consists of the following:

Company	June 30, 2010		% of Total			September 30, 2009		% of Total
China America Holdings, Inc.	$	368,040		13	%	$	540,200		10	%
China Logistics Group, Inc.		833,000		29	%		761,000		13	%
Dragon International Group Corp.		91,263		3	%		228,158		4	%
China Armco Metals, Inc.		232,000		8	%		3,116,993		56	%
Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc.		715,400		25	%		338,000		6	%
Dragon Capital Group Corp.		633,973		22	%		604,686		11	%
Marketable securities held for sale	$	2,873,676		100	%	$	5,589,037		100	%

All the securities, including preferred stock, common stock, and common stock purchase warrants, were received from our clients as consulting fees. We categorize the securities as investments in marketable securities available for sale or investments in marketable securities available for sale-related parties. These securities (exclusive of preferred stock and common stock purchase warrants) are quoted either on an exchange or over the counter market system. Some of the securities are restricted and cannot be readily sold by us absent a registration of those securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or the availabilities of an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. Our policy is to liquidate the securities on a regular basis. As these securities are often restricted, we are unable to liquidate them until the restriction is removed. We recognize revenue for common stock based on the fair value at the time common stock is granted or at the time service has been rendered (see detailed discussion on revenue recognition later) and for common stock purchase warrants based on the Black-Scholes valuation model. Unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale and on marketable securities available for sale-related party are recognized on a quarterly basis as an element of comprehensive income based on changes in the fair value of the security. Once liquidated, realized gains or losses on the sale of marketable securities available for sale and marketable securities available for sale-related party are reflected in our net income for the period in which the security was liquidated.

In accordance with ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures”, we recognized Dragon Capital Group Corp. (“Dragon Capital”) as a related party. Mr. Lisheng (Lawrence) Wang, the CEO and Chairman of the Board of Dragon Capital, is the brother of Dr. James Wang, our CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors. The securities of Dragon Capital accounted for all the investments in marketable securities available for sale-related party and totaled $633,973 and $604,686 at June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. These securities were issued by Dragon Capital as compensation for consulting services. Dragon Capital is a non-reporting company whose securities are quoted on the Pink Sheets, and as such, under Federal securities laws, securities of Dragon Capital cannot be readily resold by us, generally, absent a registration of those securities under the Securities Act. Dragon Capital does not intend to register the securities.

Under the guidance of ASC320, “Investments”, we periodically evaluate other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) of securities to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. Management utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, in addition to the reasons underlying the decline, to determine whether the loss in value is other than temporary. The term “other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent. It indicates that the prospects for a near term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding impairment charge to earnings is recognized. In the assessment of OTTI for various securities at June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 the guidance in ASC 320, “the Investment-Debt and Equity Securities,” is carefully followed. Management determined that some of our investments in marketable securities are impaired because their fair value as quoted on an exchange or an inter-dealer quotation system is less than their cost basis and also determined that the impairment is other–than-temporary impairment after applying the guidance in Section 325-40-35 to the evaluation of the securities. In accordance with Section 325-35-33, when an entity has decided to sell an impaired available-for-sale security and the entity does not expect the fair value of the security to fully recover before the expected time of sale, the security shall be deemed other-than-temporarily impaired in the period in which the decision to sell is made. However, an entity shall recognize an impairment loss when the impairment is deemed other than temporary impairment even if a decision to sell has not been made. For the nine month period ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 we had a loss related to other than temporary impairment of $0 and $7,521,088, respectively.

The realized gain (loss) on sale of marketable securities available for sale in the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $33,155 and ($79,221), respectively.

The realized gain (loss) on sale of marketable securities available for sale in the nine month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $2,134,344 and ($410,750), respectively.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of (i) prepayments to vendors for merchandise that had not yet been shipped, (ii) value added tax refunds available from the Chinese government, (iii) loans receivable and (iv) other receivables. At June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, our consolidated balance sheets include prepaid expenses and other current assets of $6,731,966 and $5,092,205, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives of three to forty years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and improvements are capitalized.

Acquisitions

We account for acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with the provisions of Topic 805, “Business Combinations”. In each of our acquisitions for prior periods presented, we determined that fair values were equivalent to the acquired historical carrying costs. We had no acquisitions during the first nine month of fiscal 2010.

Advances from Customers and Deferred Revenues

Advances from customers represent (i) prepayments to us for merchandise that had not yet been shipped to customers, and (ii) the fair value of securities received as compensation which will be amortized over the term of the respective consulting agreement. We will recognize these advances as revenues as customers take delivery of the goods or when the services have been rendered, in compliance with our revenue recognition policy. Advances from customers totaled $871,573 and $1,764,177 at June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively while deferred revenue totaled $116,000 and $242,960, respectively

Comprehensive Income (loss)

We follow ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income” to recognize the elements of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive loss for the nine month period ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 included net loss, foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gain (loss) on marketable securities available for sale, net of income taxes, and unrealized losses on marketable securities available for sale-related party, net of income taxes. See Note 4 – Comprehensive Income for details. .

Foreign Currency Translation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of our Chinese subsidiaries is the Renminbi, the official currency of the People’s Republic of China, (“RMB”). Capital accounts of the consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rates for the nine month period ended June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009. A summary of the conversion rates for the periods presented is as follows:

	June 30,
	2010		2009
Quarter end RMB: U.S. dollar exchange rate		6.8086		6.8448
Average year-to-date RMB: U.S. dollar exchange rate		6.8352		6.8432

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through PRC authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into United States dollars at the rates applied in the translation.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, we periodically review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the estimated fair value and the book value of the underlying asset. We did not record any impairment charges during the nine month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

CHINA DIRECT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2010

Subsidiaries Held for Sale

Long-lived assets are classified as held for sale when certain criteria are met. These criteria include management’s commitment to a plan to sell the assets; the availability of the assets for immediate sale in their present condition; an active program to locate buyers and other actions to sell the assets has been initiated; the sale of the assets is probable and their transfer is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; the assets are being marketed at reasonable prices in relation to their fair value; and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan to sell the assets. We measure long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less associated costs. On September 29, 2009 our board of directors committed to a plan to sell our 51% interest in Pan Asia Magnesium which is presented in these consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation. See Note 14 - Discontinued Operations.

Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling interests in our subsidiaries are recorded in accordance with the provisions of ASC 810, “Consolidation”, and are reported as a component of our equity, separate from the parent’s equity. Purchase or sale of equity interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Results of operations attributable to the noncontrolling interests are included in our consolidated results of operations and, upon loss of control, the interest sold, as well as interest retained, If any, will be reported at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings.

Under generally accepted accounting principles when losses applicable to the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary exceed the noncontrolling interest in the equity capital of the subsidiary, the excess is not charged to the majority interest since there is no obligation of the noncontrolling interest to make good on such losses. We, therefore, absorbed all losses applicable to a noncontrolling interest where applicable. If future earnings do materialize, we shall be credited to the extent of such losses previously absorbed.

Income Taxes

We accounted for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of our assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, ASC 740 requires an evaluation of the probability of our being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such assets. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. For the first nine month of fiscal 2010, we generated income of $380,637 in the United States. Income tax expense was not recorded on these earnings as net operating loss carry-forwards are available to offset the income. We continue to evaluate whether the remaining deferred tax asset will be realized and will record an income tax benefit in the period the valuation allowance is removed.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

Under the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” (EPS) basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the company, subject to anti-dilution limitations. In order to comply with the GAAP, we use the treasury stock method when computing the diluted EPS. The number of incremental shares included in diluted EPS is computed using the average market prices of the reporting period.

Revenue Recognition

We follow the guidance of ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” for revenue recognition. In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. When our clients securities are received for our services, we follow the guidance of ASC 505, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” to measure and recognize our revenue. Topic 505-30-18 instructs that an entity (grantee or provider) may enter into transactions to provide goods or services in exchange for equity instruments. The grantee shall measure the fair value of the equity instruments in these transactions using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either of the following dates referred to as the measurement date.

	a.	The date the parties come to a mutual understanding of the terms of the equity-based compensation arrangement and a commitment for performance by the grantee to earn the equity instruments (a performance commitment) is reached; and
	b.	The date at which the grantee’s performance necessary to earn the equity instruments is complete (that is, the vesting date).

Currently we measure and recognize the revenue from the equity securities of China Armco Metals, Inc. upon completion of the services performed on a quarterly bases as provided for in our consulting agreement with China Armco Metals, Inc., while the equity securities of all other clients are measured, using the grant date in accordance with ASC 605 or as otherwise provided for in our agreements with our clients.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for the grant of stock options, warrants and restricted stock awards in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation.

Recent Pronouncements

The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-20. Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, on July 21, 2010, requiring companies to improve their disclosures about the credit quality of their financing receivables and the credit reserves held against them. The extra disclosures for financing receivables include aging of past due receivables, credit quality indicators, and the modifications of financing receivables. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting for decreases in ownership of a subsidiary - In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-02, ?癆ccounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary,” which clarifies the scope of the guidance for the decrease in ownership of a subsidiary in ASC 810, “Consolidations,” and expands the disclosures required for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or de-recognition of a group of assets. This guidance was effective on January 1, 2010. We have adopted this guidance and it did not have an effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Accounting for distributions to shareholders - In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-01, “Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash,” which clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying ASC 505, “Equity,” and ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The application of the requirements of this guidance had no effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-04 “Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments - Amendment to Section 480-10-S99” which represents an update to section 480-10-S99, distinguishing liabilities from equity, per EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. The application of the requirements of this guidance had no effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05 “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures Topic 820 – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”, which provides amendments to subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. This update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: 1. A valuation technique that uses: a. The quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset b. Quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets. 2. Another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of topic 820; two examples would be an income approach, such as a present value technique, or a market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at the measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identical liability or would receive to enter into the identical liability. The amendments in this update also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. The amendments in this update also clarify that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements.

The major category of investment is required to be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investment in a manner consistent with the guidance for major security types in U.S. GAAP on investments in debt and equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-1B. The disclosures are required for all investments within the scope of the amendments in this update regardless of whether the fair value of the investment is measured using the practical expedient.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Under the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the company, subject to anti-dilution limitations.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

(in thousands except per share amounts)	For the Three Months Ended June 30,						For the Nine Months Ended June 30,

Denominator for diluted earnings per share-adjusted weighted average outstanding average number of common shares outstanding (D)		28,829			24,169			28,940			23,731

NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income or loss. Other comprehensive income or loss refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States are included in comprehensive income but excluded from net income as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity.

Our other comprehensive income consists of currency translation adjustments, unrealized loss on marketable securities available for sale, net of taxes and unrealized loss on marketable securities available for sale-related party, net of taxes. The following table sets forth the computation of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

(1)

Amount reflects a $240,000 adjustment to a transaction mistakenly booked into revenues that reduced our net (loss) in the three month period ended December 31, 2009 which should have been booked as Other Payable – Related Parties. Accordingly our net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 was reduced by $240,000. We discussed this matter with our auditor and deemed it to be immaterial with respect to the financial statements taken as a whole, and that it had no effect on our net loss for the first nine month of fiscal 2010.

NOTE 8 - PROPERTY USE RIGHTS

Property use rights, net of accumulated amortization, consisting of mining and property use rights amounted to $1,081,928 and $1,113,902 at June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 respectively.

Golden Magnesium holds land use rights to use approximately 24.5 acres of land located in Yueyan, Gu County, Shanxi Province, China. Pursuant to these land use rights which permit construction of a magnesium production plant capable of producing up to 20,000 tons of pure magnesium products per year, Golden Magnesium built its magnesium production plant on this land. The land use rights expire in 2057. The land use rights amortization expense during the first nine month of fiscal 2010 was $31,974.

In connection with our acquisition of CDI Jixiang Metal in December 2007, we acquired mining rights to 51 acres located in the Yongshun Kaxi Lake Mining area of China. Acquisition costs for the mining rights as of June 30, 2010 are $498,516. CDI Jixiang Metal has not commenced operations and has not established a reserve. There is no assurance that commercially viable mineral deposits exist on this property and further exploration will be required before an evaluation as to the economic feasibility is determined.

Exploration costs incurred on mineral interests, other than acquisition costs, prior to the establishment of proven and probable reserves are charged to operations as incurred. Development costs incurred on mineral interests with proven and probable reserves will be capitalized as mineral properties. We regularly evaluate our investments in mineral interests to assess the recoverability and/or the residual value of the investments in these assets. All mineral interests and mineral properties are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, utilizing established guidelines based upon undiscounted future net cash flows from the asset or upon the determination that certain exploration properties do not have sufficient potential for economic mineralization.

The estimates of mineral prices and operating, capital and reclamation costs, when available, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which may affect the recoverability of mineral property costs. Although we make our best estimates of these factors, it is possible that changes could occur in the near term, which could adversely affect the future net cash flows to be generated from our mineral properties.
