CHINA DIRECT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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, as defined by the Financial Standard Board Accounting Standard Codifications (“ASC”) 280, “Segment Reporting:” Magnesium, Basic Materials and Consulting. In 2006 we established our Magnesium and Basic Materials segments which have grown through acquisitions of controlling interests in 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 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 which has 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 we provide.

We have defined various periods that are covered in this report as follows:

	•		“fiscal 2011” – October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011

CHINA DIRECT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2011

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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 March 31, 2011, we had no bank deposits in the United States that exceeded federally insured limits. At March 31, 2011, we had deposits of $4,489,308 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 March 31, 2011.

At March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010, bank deposits by geographic area were as follows:

Country	March 31, 2011				September 30, 2010
United States		4,944,734	52	%		4,851,329	48	%
China		4,489,308	48	%		5,259,489	52	%
Total cash and cash equivalents		9,434,042	100	%		10,110,818	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.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of our Chinese subsidiaries is Renminbi (“RMB”), the official currency of the People’s Republic of China. 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 dates. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rates for the six month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We adopted on a prospective basis certain required provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements.” These provisions relate to our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value and our fair value disclosures related to financial assets and liabilities. ASC 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 measurements. 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.

Most 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 recognized as Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), net of tax. Virtually all of our valuation measurements are Level 1 measurements.

Marketable Securities

Marketable Securities that we receive from our clients as compensation are generally restricted for sale under Federal securities laws. Our policy is to liquidate securities received as compensation when market conditions are favorable for sale. Since these securities are often restricted, we are unable to liquidate them until the restriction is removed. We recognize revenue for the common stock we receive as compensation based on the fair value at the time the common stock is granted or at the time service has been rendered and for common stock purchase warrants based on the Black-Scholes valuation model. Pursuant to ASC Topic 320, “Investments –Debt and Equity Securities” our marketable securities have a readily determinable and active quoted price, such as from NASDAQ, NYSE Amex, the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, and the OTC Markets Group (formerly known as the Pink Sheets) and any unrealized gain or loss is recognized as an element of comprehensive income based on changes in the fair value of the security as quoted on an exchange or an inter-dealer quotation system. Once liquidated, any realized gain or loss on the sale of marketable securities is reflected in our net income for the period in which the security was liquidated.

We perform an analysis of our marketable securities at least on an annual basis to determine if any of these securities have become other than temporarily impaired. If we determine that the decline in fair value is other than temporary we recognize the amount of the impairment as a realized loss into our current period net income (loss). This determination is based on a number of factors, including but not limited to (i) the percentage of the decline, (ii) the severity of the decline in relation to the enterprise/market conditions, and (iii) the duration of the decline.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

ASC Subtopic 815-40 (formerly EITF 07-5), “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity,” requires that entities recognize as derivative liabilities the derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts that are not indexed to an entity’s’ own stock . Pursuant to the provisions of ASC Section 815-40-15, an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. The adoption of ASC Subtopic 815-40 has affected the accounting for (i) certain freestanding warrants that contain exercise price adjustment features and (ii) convertible bonds issued by foreign subsidiaries with a strike price denominated in a foreign currency. In the case of any such warrants and convertible bonds, ASC Subtopic 815-40 provides that such warrants and bonds are to be treated as a liability at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

We adopted ASC Subtopic 815-40 on December 31, 2010 and reclassified certain warrants we issued in connection with our February 2008 series A convertible preferred stock offering as a liability rather than as stockholders’ equity and recognized the changes in fair value in earnings. The balance of the derivative liabilities as of March 31, 2011 was $11,811 which is classified as other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. The cumulative unrealized gain on the change in fair value was $159,467. See Note 11 – Capital Stock – Reclassification of Derivative Liabilities for more details.

Accrual of Environmental Obligations

ASC Section 410-30-25 “Recognition” of environmental obligations requires the accrual of a liability if both of the following conditions are met:

a.	Information available before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements.

b.	The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

As of March 31, 2011, we do not have any environmental remediation obligations, nor do we have any asset retirement obligations under ASC 410. Furthermore, we do not have any environmental remediation loss contingencies requiring recognition or disclosure in our financial statements.

Recent Pronouncements

Business Combinations

In January 2011, Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-29 clarifies that pro forma revenue and earnings for a business combination occurring in the current year should be presented as though the business combination occurred as of the beginning of the year or, if comparative statements are presented, as though the business combination took place as of the beginning of the comparative year.

The disclosures required of public entities in respect of a business combination occurring during the current reporting period called for in ASC Section 805-10-50 have been amended as follows:

- 7 -

CHINA DIRECT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2011

If comparative financial statements are not presented, pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity should be based on the assumption that the business combination took place as of the beginning of the current year.

If comparative financial statements are presented (1) pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity should be based on the assumption that the business combination occurred as of the beginning of the comparative year, and (2) in the year following the business combination, pro forma information should not be revised if comparative statements for the year in which the acquisition occurred are presented (even if such year is the earliest period presented).

To require disclosure of the nature and amounts of any material nonrecurring adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the pro forma revenue and earnings (i.e., supplemental pro forma information).

The new and amended disclosures should be applied prospectively to business combinations consummated on or after the start of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted. We have adopted this guidance.

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 2 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Under the provisions of ASC Topic 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. For the three months and six months ended March 31, 2011, the effect of stock options, warrants and restricted stock awards is anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted income (loss) per share is the same for both periods presented.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (unaudited):

On December 31, 2010, we received a total of 4,740,694 shares of China Education International, Inc., formerly known as USChina Channel, Inc. (“USCC”) common stock as the stock-based payment for consulting services we provided to USCC in connection with USCC’s acquisition of China Education Schools, Ltd. In connection with the consulting service, we also paid $170,000 to acquire 758,124 shares of USCC’s common stock in a private sale. We accounted for this class of securities as marketable securities available for sale. Pursuant to ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, we used the quoted price for the USCC’s securities to value the shares of USCC’s common stock and recognized $4,977,728 or $1.05 per share as our consulting service revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Invictus Advisory Services, Inc., USCC and our company entered into a Consulting and Management Agreement as of December 31, 2010 whereby we agreed to perform certain consulting and business advisory services for USCC, including advising USCC on financing matters, assistance with acquisitions, and coordination of SEC filings. The term of the agreement is for one year, beginning January 1, 2011. On February 15, 2011, Invictus transferred to us on behalf of USCC a total of 600,000 shares of USCC’s common stock previously issued to Invictus as payment for our services. The 600,000 shares of USCC’s common stock we received were fully vested and non-forfeitable at the time of transfer and were valued at $1,800,000.

For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the total fair value of USCC’s common stock we received for services was $6,852,529. We transferred shares of USCC’s common stock with a value of $283,500 to Animus Advisory Group, Inc. as a fee for its work for us in connection with work we performed for USCC. As of March 31, 2011, the aggregated carrying value of the USCC common stock was $11,657,636. The USCC common stock is quoted in the over the counter market system, but 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 availability of an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. Our policy is to liquidate the securities we receive as compensation on a regular basis. As these securities are often restricted, we are unable to liquidate them until the restriction is removed. Unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale are recognized on a periodic 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.

The investments in marketable securities available for sale-related party totaled $334,521 and $672,735 at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively and are comprised solely of the securities of Dragon Capital Group Corp. (“Dragon Capital”). 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. 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 OTC Pink Tier of the OTC Markets Group. As such, under Federal securities laws, securities of Dragon Capital generally cannot be resold by us absent a registration of those securities under the Securities Act.

In connection with our acquisition of CDI Jixiang Metal Co., Ltd. (“CDI Jixiang”) in December 2007, we acquired mining rights to 51 acres of land located in the Yong shun Kaxi Lake Mining area of China. We began the process of obtaining a 5-year renewal for these mining rights in early 2010 as the current lease expired in October 2009. The receipt of the renewal has been delayed due to changes in the Chinese government procedures in granting such renewals. At no time subsequent to October 2009 have we had any indication that the mining rights would not ultimately be renewed. Based on our periodic evaluation of its long-lived assets, we have concluded that none of the assets related to CDI Jixiang are impaired.

NOTE 11 – CAPITAL STOCK

Preferred Stock and Related Dividends

We have 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001, authorized, of which we designated 12,950 as our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in February 2008. At March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010 there were 1,006 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a stated value per share of $1,000, carries an 8% per annum dividend rate payable quarterly in arrears and is convertible into common stock at $1.80 per share after giving effect to a price reduction in connection with a December 30, 2010 offering of our securities. During the six months ended March 31, 2011, we paid $40,260 ordinary dividends in the form of 26,290 shares of our common stock. During the six months ended March 31, 2010, we paid $60,308 in the form of 29,255 shares of our common stock and cash of $20,125, respectively.

CHINA DIRECT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2011

On February 11, 2008, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with accredited investors to sell 12,950 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock which was convertible into common stock at $7.00 per share. This class of preferred stock carries an embedded contingent beneficial conversion option that allows the conversion price to reset, contingent upon certain future transactional events. As of May 31, 2009, only 1,006 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. On June 15, 2009, we registered a direct offer of our common stock at $1.85 per share, and therefore as provided under the original Securities Purchase Agreement, we should have accounted for this conversion price reduction from $7.00 to $1.85 per share as additional intrinsic values beneficially extended to this class of stockholders in the three month interim period ended June 30, 2009, in which the first conversion price reset occurred. We made a determination that even if we retrospectively applied the adjustments to reflect such accounting changes to the prior periods, the net effect would be immaterial from both a quantitative and qualitative standpoint.

ASC 470-20 provides that upon the resolution of the contingency, a corresponding adjustment is required to account for and recognize the excess number of shares to be received multiplied by the stock price on the original commitment date as additional intrinsic economic benefits extended to this class of shareholders. Based on the facts and circumstances in our case, the preliminary re-measurement for this contingent beneficial conversion option amounted to $600,693, representing the remaining undiscounted portion of the net proceeds allocated to the outstanding 1,006 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the original offer. As of December 31, 2010, we recorded a total discount of $600,693 to account for the additional intrinsic values for the outstanding 1,006 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, accreted the full amount immediately as this class of preferred stock does not have a stated redemption date or finite life, and recognized it as a one-time deemed dividend or a reduction to our retained earnings and a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital.

Reclassification of Derivative Liabilities

As of March 31, 2011 the Series A Preferred stockholders held an aggregate of 143,750 common stock purchase warrants, which contained a downside ratchet provision, that would allow the exercise price of these warrants to reset, contingent upon certain future transactional events. The terms of these warrants provide that if we sell common stock at a price per share less than the then exercise price of the warrants then we are required to reduce the exercise price of those warrants to the lower price of the subsequent sale. On June 15, 2009, we registered a direct offering of our common stock, which reduced the exercise price of the 143,750 warrants to purchase our common stock from $8.00 to $1.85 per share. On December 30, 2010, we entered into an engagement letter with Rodman & Renshaw for the sale of our common stock at $1.80 per share, which again reset the exercise price of the aforementioned warrants from $1.85 to $1.80 per share.

ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” requires any warrant (or embedded feature) that is not indexed to an entity’s own stock to be classified as a derivative liability instead of part of the permanent equity, with changes in fair value to be recognized into the then current earnings. Even though we should have adopted EITF 07-05 (currently ASC 815-40), beginning on January 1, 2009, applicable to our financial statements, we made a determination that even if we retrospectively applied the adjustments to reflect such accounting changes to the prior periods, the net effect would be immaterial from both a quantitative and qualitative standpoint.

As of December 31, 2010, we reclassified the 143,750 common stock purchase warrants with the downside ratchet provision from additional paid-in capital of the permanent equity into derivative liabilities to reflect the cumulative accounting effects on our balance sheet, with the cumulative effects on changes in fair values of derivative liabilities recognized in the current period of our statement of operations. In conjunction with the re-measurements and reclassifications, we recognized $76,705 as a one-time deemed dividend and a reduction to retained earnings, and recorded a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital, to reflect the increase in fair value of the 143,750 warrants for the reduction of their exercise price. We reclassified $171,278 to derivative liabilities from additional paid-in capital on our balance sheet, and recorded a net amount of $104,305 as an unrealized gain into our current earnings to reflect the cumulative effects on changes in fair value of derivative liabilities.

As of December 31, 2010, the carrying mount of $66,973 reflected the then current fair value of the derivative liabilities. As of March 31, 2011, the balance of the derivative liabilities was $11,811.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

In connection with our December 30, 2010 offering of our securities, we issued common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 777,778 shares of our common stock upon closing of the offering which occurred on January 4, 2011.

The Warrants are exercisable beginning six months after the issuance date at an exercise price of $2.00 per share until July 4, 2016. The Warrants may become exercisable on a cashless basis if we fail to maintain the effectiveness of our registration statement. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits or dividends, business combinations, rights offerings, sale of assets or other similar transactions. The Warrants are not exercisable to the extent that (a) the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the holder, and (b) the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants would result in the beneficial ownership by holder of more than 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock. This ownership limitation can be increased to 9.99% by the holder upon 61 days notice to us.

A summary of the status of our outstanding common stock purchase warrants granted as of March 31, 2011 and changes during the period is as follows:
