Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results

This report contains forward-looking statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. A list of factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially is set forth below, and these factors are discussed in greater detail under Item 1A – “Risk Factors” and our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission:
 
 
 
Our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
 
Continued global economic weakness is expected to reduce demand for our products in each of our segments.
 
 
Our ability to implement our expansion plans for growing our business through acquisitions and development of our commodity trading business.
 
 
Loss of orders from any of our major customers.
  
 
The value of the equity securities we accept as compensation is subject to adjustment which could result in losses to us in future periods.
 
 
Our need for additional financing which we may not be able to obtain on acceptable terms, the dilutive effect additional capital raising efforts in future periods may have on our current shareholders and the increased interest expense in future periods related to additional debt financing.
 
 
Adverse outcome of the bankruptcy of our subsidiary CDII Trading, Inc. (“CDII Trading”).
 
 
Our dependence on certain key personnel.
 
 
Difficulties we have in establishing adequate management, cash, legal and financial controls in the PRC.
 
 
Our ability to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting.
 
 
The lack various legal protections in certain agreements to which we are a party and which are material to our operations which are customarily contained in similar contracts prepared in the United States.
 
 
Potential impact of PRC regulations on our intercompany loans.
 
 
Our ability to assure that related party transactions are fair to our company and possible violations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.
 
 
The scope of our related party transactions and potential conflicts of interest arising from these transactions.
 
 
The impact of a loss of our land use rights.
 
 
Our ability to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act which could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
 
 
Limits under the Investment Company Act of 1940 on the value of securities we can accept as payment for our business consulting services.
 
 
Our acquisition efforts in future periods may be dilutive to our then current shareholders.
 
 
Our inability to enforce our rights due to policies regarding the regulation of foreign investments in the PRC.
 
 
The impact of environmental and safety regulations, which may increase our compliance costs and reduce our overall profitability.
 
 
The effect of changes resulting from the political and economic policies of the Chinese government on our assets and operations located in the PRC.
 
 
The impact of Chinese economic reform policies.
 
 
The influence of the Chinese government over the manner in which our Chinese subsidiaries must conduct our business activities.
 
 
The impact on future inflation in the PRC on economic activity in the PRC.
 
 
The impact of any natural disasters and health epidemics in China.
 
 
The impact of labor laws in the PRC may adversely affect our results of operations.
 
 
The limitation on our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively as a result of restrictions on currency exchange in the PRC.
 
 
Fluctuations in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on your investment.
 
 
The market price for shares of our common stock has been and may continue to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations and the impact of penny stock rules on the liquidity of our common stock.

We caution that the factors described herein and other factors could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we make and that investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

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

Business and Organization

CD International Enterprises, Inc. (“CDII”), a Florida corporation and its subsidiaries are referred to in this report as "we", "us", "our", "Company" or "CD International".

We are a U.S. based company that sources, produces and distributes industrial products in Asia and the Americas.  We also provide business and financial consulting services to public and private American and Chinese businesses.  We operate in two identifiable segments, as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Segment Reporting”: Mineral Trading and Consulting. Beginning in 2006, we established our Consulting and Mineral Trading segments which grew through acquisitions of controlling interests in Chinese private companies. We consolidate these acquisitions as either wholly or majority owned subsidiaries.  

In our Mineral Trading segment, we currently source, finance, manage logistics, and sell industrial commodities from North and South America for ultimate distribution in China. In our Consulting segment, we provide business and financial 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.

On September 30, 2014, the Company signed a share exchange agreement with Yuwei Huang (“Mr. Huang”), a related party, selling our Magnesium segment to Mr. Huang and in return, Mr. Huang and other parties returned and cancelled 8,325,949 shares of the Company’s common stock held by such parties related to Mr. Huang and cancelled the right to receive 41,524 convertible series D preferred stock within 10 business days after the share exchange agreement was signed. Historically, the Magnesium segment represented our largest segment by revenues and assets. We produced, sold and distributed pure magnesium ingots, magnesium powder and magnesium alloy. Since 2009, the magnesium spot price had not fully recovered to the pre-2009 level and the current spot price is approximately $2,200 per ton FOB China. Accordingly, we have generated negative gross margins and operating losses, and most of our magnesium facilities ceased production. Results of operations, financial position and cash flows associated with the Magnesium segment are separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

In addition, in April, 2015, the Company sold its entire 95% equity interest in CDI Jingkun Zinc Industry Co., Ltd. (“CDI Jingkun Zinc”) and 100% equity interest in Shanghai CDI Metal Material Co., Ltd. (“CDI Metal”) to Xiaowen Zhuang, a related party individual. The Company also sold its 100% equity interest in CDI Jixiang Metal Co., Ltd. (“CDI Jixiang Metal”) to Dragon Capital Group Corp (“Dragon Capital”), a related party company. As a result, results of operations, financial position and cash flows associated with CDI Jingkun Zinc, CDI Metal and CDI Jixiang Metal are also reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. CDI Jingkun Zinc, CDI Metal and CDI Jixiang Metal were entities in the Mineral Trading segment. For additional information, see Note 10– Discontinued Operations.

For the three months of fiscal year 2015 and 2014, subsidiaries included in continuing operations consisted of the following:

 
·
CDI China, Inc. (“CDI China”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDII;
 
·
International Magnesium Group, Inc. (“IMG”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDII;
 
·
CDII Minerals, Inc. (“CDII Minerals”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDII;
 
·
CDII Chile, Ltda. (“CDII Chile”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDII Minerals;
 
·
CDII Minerals de Peru SAC (“CDII Peru”), a 50% owned subsidiary of CDII Minerals;
 
·
Empresa Minera CDII de Bolivia S.A. (“CDII Bolivia”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDII Minerals;
 
·
China Direct Investments, Inc. (“China Direct Investments”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDII;
 
·
CDI Shanghai Management Co., Ltd. (“CDI Shanghai Management”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDI China; and
 
·
Capital Resource Management Co., Ltd. (“Capital Resource Management”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDI Shanghai Management, formerly known as Capital One Resource Co., Ltd.

Basis of Presentation

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

 
·
“fiscal year 2015” – October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015
 
·
“fiscal year 2014” – October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014
 
·
“fiscal year 2013” – October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conjunction with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), although the Company believes that the disclosures contained in this report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated balance sheet information as of September 30, 2014 was derived from the consolidated audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014, and other reports filed with the SEC.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the fiscal year taken as a whole.

Going Concern

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company has incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $465,000 and the Company also has a working capital deficit of $7.2 million and its cash and cash equivalent and its revenues are not currently sufficient and cannot be projected to cover operating expenses in the coming year.  These factors raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans include attempting to raise funds through debt and equity financings, restructure on-going operations to eliminate inefficiencies and continue to sell assets to raise cash and meet operating needs. Management intends to make every effort to identify and develop sources of funds.  There is no assurance that management’s plans will be successful.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of consolidated revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments available-for-sale, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the fair value of stock based compensation, the useful life of property, plant and equipment, and the valuation of derivative liability.

We rely on assumptions such as volatility, forfeiture rate, and expected dividend yield when deriving the grant date fair value of share based compensation as well as the valuation of derivative liability. 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 uncollectible accounts is based on an evaluation of our outstanding accounts receivable, other receivables, and loans receivable including the aging of amounts due, the financial condition of our specific customers and clients, 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.

DECEMBER 31, 2014



We group property plant and equipment into similar groups of assets and estimate the useful life of each group of assets;

Assumptions and estimates employed in these areas are material to our reported financial condition and results of operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
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 December 31, 2014, we had no bank deposits in the United States that exceeded federally insured limits.  At December 31, 2014, we had deposits of $113,263 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 December 31, 2014.

At December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, bank deposits by geographic area were as follows:

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements.”  These provisions relate to our consolidated 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 below:

 - 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;
 - Level 3, meaning the use of unobservable inputs. Observable market data should be used when available.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, advances from customers, and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

The Company’s loans payable approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts due from/to related parties due to their related party nature.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of marketable securities and marks the marketable securities available-for-sale at fair value in the statement of financial position at each balance sheet date and reports the unrealized holding gains and losses for marketable securities available-for-sale in other comprehensive income (loss) until realized provided the unrealized holding gains and losses is temporary. If the fair value of investment in marketable securities available-for-sale is less than its cost basis at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which impairment is assessed, and it is determined that the impairment is other than temporary, then an impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period.

The Company uses Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of its derivative liabilities and revalues the derivative liabilities at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss that are attributable to the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities.

The financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2014 are as follows:

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 quoted price, such as from NASDAQ, NYSE Euronext, 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 or loss based on changes in the fair value of the security as quoted on an exchange or an inter-dealer quotation. Once liquidated, any realized gain or loss on the sale of marketable securities is reflected in our statement of operations for the period in which the securities are 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.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“U.S. dollar”). The functional currency of our Chinese subsidiaries is the Renminbi (“RMB”), the official currency of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Capital accounts of the consolidated financial statements are translated into U.S. 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 three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  A summary of the conversion rates for the periods presented is as follows:

   
December 31, 2014
   
September 30, 2014
   
December 31, 2013
 
Period end RMB: U.S. dollar exchange rate

Average fiscal-year-to-date RMB: U.S. dollar exchange rate
   
6.1356
     
6.1400
     
6.1232
 

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.
 
Derivative Liabilities

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations, in accordance with ASC 815-15, “Derivative and Hedging”. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

ASC Subtopic 815-40, “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, (formerly FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 07-5: Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock (“EITF 07-5”)), 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. The amendments in the ASU are intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. These amendments require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. The amendments in ASU 2015-11 require an entity to measure in scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments do not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. A reporting entity should apply the amendments prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – LOSS PER SHARE
 
Under the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable 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.

All the securities were received from our clients as consulting fees. During the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we collected marketable securities originated from accounts receivable in the amount of $0 and $66,600, separately, and we collected marketable securities originated from deferred revenue in the amount of $0 and $295,000, respectively. We categorize the securities as investments in marketable securities available-for-sale or investments in marketable securities available-for-sale-related party. These securities are quoted either on an exchange or on the 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 availability 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.  Unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities available-for-sale and on marketable securities available-for-sale-related party 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 marketable securities available-for-sale-related party totaled $15,000 and $40,000 at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, 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 James (Yuejian) Wang, the CEO of the Company. 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 in absence of a registration of those securities under the Securities Act or unless there exists an available exemption from such registration.
 
Our marketable securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Under the guidance of ASC320, “Investments”, we periodically evaluate our marketable 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 this assessment for various securities at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, the guidance in ASC 320, “the Investment-Debt and Equity Securities”, is carefully followed.  In accordance with ASC 320-10-35-33, 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.

On May 28, 2015, we entered into four stock purchase agreements with four Chinese citizens converting the four promissory notes originally signed on August 21, 2012 in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 into 20 million shares of CDII common stock at $0.05 per share. See Note 12 for additional information.

(2)  
On July 30, 2014, we closed a senior secured revolving credit facility agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP (“TCA”), a Cayman Islands limited partnership. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, TCA agreed to loan us up to a maximum of $5 million for working capital purposes. The initial credit line is $2,000,000 subject to funding in the discretion of TCA. In connection with the closing, an initial take down of $650,000 was funded by TCA. Any increase in the amount of the credit line from the initial amount up to the maximum amount is at the discretion of TCA. On July 31, 2014, we issued 3,154,115 restricted shares of our common stock valued at about $0.06 per share to TCA for a total of $175,000 for advisory services provided. Based on the Credit Agreement, upon an event of default, the lender may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest payables into shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the 85% of the average of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the five business days prior to the conversion day. On December 12, 2014, TCA claimed this loan was in default due to the Company’s failure to provide timely monthly reporting. The Company recorded derivative liabilities and debt discount of $361,452 as of December 12, 2014. Since the loan was in default, the full amount of $361,452 debt discount was charged to interest expense on the same day. Also see Note 6 for derivative liabilities and Note 10 for discussion of lawsuit filed by TCA against the Company and James (Yuejian) Wang related to this Credit Agreement.

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

As described in Note 5, the Company issued convertible note with variable conversion price upon default. The conversion option embedded in the convertible note contains no explicit limit to the number of shares to be issued upon settlement and as a result is classified as a liability under ASC 815. The Company accounted for the embedded conversion option in accordance with ASC 815-40, which requires the Company to bifurcate the embedded conversion options as liability at the date the note becomes convertible and to record changes in fair value relating to the conversion option liability in the statement of operations and comprehensive income as of each subsequent balance sheet date. The debt discount related to the convertible note is amortized over the life of the note using the effective interest method. The Company’s conversion option liabilities are valued using Black Scholes pricing models. Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility and correlations of such inputs. These consolidated financial liabilities do not trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs cannot generally be verified and do involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are typically classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below shows the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model inputs used by the Company to value the conversion option derivative liability, as well as the determined value of the option liability at each measurement date:

Shares
   
Debt Principal
   
Volatility

The Company also issued warrants with exercise price subject to adjustment if the Company, at any time while the warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of common stock (and not to the holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock at a price per share less than the VWAP on the record date, then, the exercise price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the common stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of additional shares of common stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the common stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such VWAP. The price reset provision makes the warrant not indexed to the Company’s own stock, and therefore requires the warrant to be treated as derivative liabilities as provided un EITF 07-05.

In addition, the Company issued convertible preferred stock and the conversion price of the preferred stock is subject to adjustment if the Company issues or sells shares of common stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion or exercise price then in effect, or issue options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchangeable for shares of common stock at a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price of the preferred stock then in effect. If either of these events should occur, the conversion price is reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable. These clauses were referred to as the “Anti-Dilution Rights”. The Anti-Dilution Rights of the beneficial conversion feature make the conversion option not indexed to the company’s own stock, and therefore requires the conversion feature to be treated as derivative liabilities as provided under EITF 07-05.

The Company used maximum value method to determine the fair value of derivative liabilities related to warrants and preferred stock conversion option.

As of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, the carrying amounts of the derivative liabilities for warrants were $23,333 and $0, respectively. As of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, the carrying amounts of the derivative liabilities for preferred stock conversion option were $$1,426,578 and $1,848,041, respectively. The net changes in fair value of derivative liabilities of warrants and preferred stock during the periods were gain of $444,797 during the three months ended December 31, 2014 and loss of $1,191,467 during the three months ended December 31, 2013.

NOTE 8 – CAPITAL STOCK

Preferred Stock and Related Dividends

As of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, there were 1,006 shares of series A convertible preferred stock outstanding. The series A preferred stock has a stated value per share of $1,000, carries an 8% per annum dividend rate payable quarterly in arrears and was initially convertible into our common stock at $7.00 per share. The dividends are payable in cash or shares of our common stock, at our option, subject to certain provisions. The terms of the Series A preferred stock provide that if we sell common stock at a price per share less than the then conversion price of the preferred stock, then we are required to reduce the conversion price of the series A convertible preferred stock to the lower price of the subsequent sale. Since we have issued securities at prices lower than the exercise price of the $7.00 per share conversion price of the series A preferred stock, we reduced the exercise price of those outstanding securities. At December 31, 2014, the conversion price of the series A preferred is adjusted to $0.035.

The dividends calculated at $20,130 per quarter are payable in cash or shares of our common stock at our option subject to certain provisions. If paid in shares of common stock, the stock shall be valued at the lower of the conversion price or the average of the weighted average price of the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the dividend date. During the three months ended December 31, 2014, we did not pay off dividends in cash or our common stock on our series A convertible preferred stock. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, we paid $13,130 of dividends in cash. As of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, accrued dividend payable is $88,385 and $68,255, respectively. The conversion price of the preferred stock is subject to adjustment, and therefore requires the conversion feature to be treated as derivative liabilities as provided under EITF 07-05. See Note 6 for discussion on derivatice liabilities.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Income Tax Matters

The IRS is currently auditing our consolidated income tax return for 2008. The IRS has proposed an adjustment to our 2008 taxable income and penalties of approximately $4.6 million (approximately $3.1 million in income tax and $1.5 million in penalties) primarily related to transfer pricing issues pursuant to IRC section 482. In May 2013, the case was sent to the Appeals division of the Internal Revenue Service. At present we are in the process of waiting for the Service to assign an examiner to determine the validity of our position as it relates to the transfer pricing issue and revenue reorganization of restricted stock. We retained an independent accounting firm that has conducted an independent transfer pricing study, an evaluation of the tax basis value of marketable securities received for services, and an analysis of the allocation of the related costs and expenses associated with such revenues. As a result of such study and as a result of net operating tax loss carry forwards, we believe that no income tax or penalties will be accessed against us by the IRS and we intend to vigorously defend our position including an appeal in the U.S. Tax Court. If we are unable to defend our position, any such adjustment could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position and liquidity.
 
Legal Contingencies

Our wholly owned subsidiaries, China Direct Investments and Capital Resource Management Co., Ltd. (“Capital Resource Management”), and our Company are involved in the following litigation with a shareholder of Linkwell Corporation, Ltd. (“Plaintiff”):

On January 9, 2013, Plaintiff filed a petition in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida (Case No. 12-cv-62539-WJZ) to complain that Linkwell’s directors (Director Defendants) breached their fiduciary duties to Linkwell and its shareholders by entering into a transaction intended to obscure their “secret transfer” of Linkwell’s valuable subsidiaries to themselves or entities they control or Ecolab, Inc. without fair compensation being paid to Linkwell and by causing Linkwell to file and disseminate materially misleading information.

In addition, Plaintiff contended that the “Non-Director Defendants" – including the Company and its subsidiaries, China Direct Investments and Capital Resource Management – aided and abetted those breaches and conspired with the Director Defendants to commit those breaches. The Plaintiff also contended that all defendants were unjustly enriched and are liable for attorney’s fees. China Direct Investments and Capital Resource Management are alleged to have acted as consultants who were the “principal moving force” behind the challenged transaction, for which consulting services each is alleged to have received shares of Linkwell common stock.

Subsequent to the filing of the initial complaint, Linkwell’s Board of Directors unwound the challenged transaction and the shares received by China Direct Investments and Capital Resource Management were returned to Linkwell. The Company, as well as China Direct Investments and Capital Resource Management, has denied all liabilities and intends to contest the matter vigorously.

On February 14, 2014, Metamining, Inc., Metamining Nevada, Inc., Song Qiang Chen, and Ling Li submitted their objections to Linkwell’s affidavit pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37 for payment of expenses including attorney’s fees. The Company has also produced documents and interrogatory responses in response to discovery served by Linkwell. A pretrial conference is scheduled for August 28, 2015. As of June 2014, the Plaintiff claimed that his attorneys’ fees and costs exceeded $1 million. As of June 12, 2015, the Company has paid to the attorney of the Plaintiff, Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz, LLP, $33,000 for the attorney fees claimed.
 
On April 28, 2015, TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP. ("TCA") filed a complaint/petition in the Circut Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida. (Case No. 15-007210). The complaint/petition alleges that the Company is in 1) breach of credit facility agreement by CD International Enterprises, Inc.; 2) foreclosure of security interest against CD International Enterprises, Inc., CDI China, Inc., China Direct Investments, Inc., CDII Minerals, Inc. International Magnesium Group, Inc., and James (Yuejian) Wang; 3) breach of revolving convertible promissory note by CD International Enterprises, Inc.; 4) breach of guaranty against James (Yuejian) Wang and CDI China, Inc., China Direct Investments, Inc., CDII Minerals, Inc. International Magnesium Group, Inc.; 5) fraudulent misrepresentation as to CD International and James (Yuejian) Wang; and 6) negligent misrepresentation as to CD International Enterprises, Inc. and James (Yuejian). TCA demanded the repayment of principal of $650,000 and interest payable of $46,123. In addition, TCA demanded the payment of default interest and penalties on the note in the amount of $30,145 and $106,115 on advisory fee. The Company considered the allegations without merits, denied such allegations and intends to vigorously defend the position. The Company has entered a counter claim against TCA in violation of Florida Usury Laws. Currently both sides have suspended the litigation and are preparing to settle. The Company did not record additional expenses related to the case.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.

The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other information presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 12, 2015 and with the consolidated financial statements and other information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW OF OUR OPERATIONS

Our Business

We are a U.S. company that manages a portfolio of entities in China and the Americas. We used to operate in three identifiable business segments, as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Segment Reporting”: Magnesium, Mineral Trading and Consulting. Beginning in 2006, we established our Magnesium and Mineral Trading segments which have grown through acquisitions of controlling interests of Chinese private companies. We consolidate these acquisitions as either our wholly or majority owned subsidiaries. Through our U.S. based industrial commodities business, we source, finance, manage logistics, and sell industrial commodities from South America for ultimate distribution in China. We also provide business and management consulting services to public and private American and Chinese businesses.  

We currently operate our business in two segments. Mineral Trading segment and Consulting segment. Our Mineral Trading segment sources and distributes industrial commodities, and our Consulting segment provides business and management consulting services to American and Chinese companies that operate primarily in China and the Americas.

 Our Mineral Trading segment engages in the source and distribution of the global purchase and sale of industrial commodities in the Americas, which include mineral ores and non-ferrous metals. We have realigned our investments to our industrial commodities business in the Americas to maximize our profits and cash flow over the past fiscal year of 2013. We have focused on the South American market and have established offices in Chile, Peru and Bolivia, but the operation costs were very high and, given the continuing drop of the iron ore market price, we closed offices in Chile and Peru on September 30, 2014.

Our Consulting segment provides services to public and private American and Chinese entities seeking access to the U.S. and Chinese capital markets. These services include general business consulting, Chinese regulatory advice, translation services, formation of entities in the PRC, coordination of professional resources, mergers and acquisitions, strategic alliances and partnerships, advice on effective means of accessing U.S. capital markets, coordination of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, and corporate asset evaluations. We also provide EB-5 consulting services and look into opportunities to work with local firms for appropriate funding programs.
 
OUR OUTLOOK

A significant portion of our business and operations are in China and, accordingly, its national economy plays a significant role in our results of operations. China's economy grew by 7.4% in 2014 while China's economy expanded by 7.7% in 2013. Furthermore, China’s housing market and particularly its real estate construction market experienced a significant correction due to a tighter regulatory environment, bank lending curbs, and slower demand during fiscal 2013. In response to this slowdown, China’s Central Bank cut the nation’s commercial banks’ reserve requirement ratio by 0.5 percentage point, the first such cut since December 2008, and in June 2012 cut the interest rate twice, in order to provide additional liquidity for commercial lending. This represents a significant shift in China’s economic policy signaling that China has put economic growth at the top of its agenda, rather than concerns about inflation. Residential property sales plunged 9.9% on year in the first 10 months of 2014.

According to Ministry of Commerce of China, in 2013, China’s import and export totaled $4,160 billion with a year-on-year growth of 7.6%. China’s export was $2,210 billion, and its import was $1,950 billion, up by 7.9% and 7.3% respectively, with trade surplus of $259.75 billion. In December 2013, China’s import and export totaled $389.84 billion with a year-on-year growth of 6.2%. China’s export was $207.74 billion, up by 4.3%, and its import was $182.10 billion, up by 8.3%, with trade surplus of $25.64 billion. In the first quarter of 2014, China’s import and export totaled US$ 965.88 billion, down 1.0% year-on-year. Export was US$ 491.31 billion, down 3.4% year-on-year, and import was US$ 474.57 billion, up 1.6%, with trade surplus of US$ 16.74 billion, down 59.7%. In December 2014, China’s import and export totaled US$ 405.41 billion, up by 4% year on year. Export was US$ 227.51 billion, up by 9.7%, and import was US$ 177.9 billion, down by 2.4%, with trade surplus of US$ 49.61 billion, up by 96.7% year-on-year.

 
 
 
- 20 -

 
 

According to Ministry of Commerce of China, in 2014, China’s import and export totaled $4,328 billion (26,400 billion RMB), with a year-on-year growth of 2.3%.  China’s export was $2,359 billion (14,391 billion RMB), up by 4.9% and its import was $2,974 billion (12,042 billion RMB), decreased by 0.9%, with trade surplus of $385 billion (2,349 billion RMB).

The overall economic environment, particularly in China, showed no improvement, and our Mineral Trading segment continued to struggle with lower customer demand due to tightened credit conditions in China impacting customer financing needs to purchase our products in 2014 and 2015. We still face a number of challenges in continuing the growth of our business, which is primarily tied to the overall health of the global economy.

Information On Trends Impacting Our Reporting Segments Follows:
 
Mineral Trading Segment.

Due to surplus of Iron Ore in Chinese ports, the shutdown of many steel mills in China for environmental reasons, and with an overall lower performing GDP and performance of the Chinese economy, the iron ore price has dropped substantially in the past quarter. Likewise, the major global Iron Ore producers have opened up new mining sites and expect to increase deliveries throughout 2015, creating more supply in a market that requires less demand. We expect the copper market to be steady in 2015, due to production is generally seen as keeping pace with exceeding demand and inventories of a number of commodities are not low enough to bolster prices. Manganese Ore prices have been stable over the last quarter, creating a solid market for exporters, and we expect market will be stable in 2015. Worldwide demand for copper metal (produced from refined copper and recycled scrap) is projected to advance 4.7 percent per year to 37.2 million metric tons in 2019. Robust gains in building construction expenditures are expected to boost the use of copper wire, tube, and other mill products in applications such as building wire, plumbing, and architecture. Increased infrastructure investment, particularly in developing countries, will further benefit copper suppliers, as updates to national power grids drive the production of wire and cable. In addition, advances in global manufacturing output are expected to bolster the use of copper metal in industrial machinery, domestic appliances, and other durable goods. Nevertheless, competition from competitive materials, such as plastic pipe in plumbing applications, will restrain faster overall growth. Global production of refined copper is forecast to expand 4.6 percent per year to 29.1 million metric tons in 2019. The Asia/Pacific region is expected to see the fastest annual gains, led by increased output in China and India. North America is also projected to see copper mine output grow at a strong pace, supported by major expansions in Mexico and Canada. Advances in construction spending are also forecast to fuel copper demand in North America, particularly in the US, where building construction activity will significantly accelerate. More moderate increases in copper demand are forecast for Western Europe, where construction and manufacturing output will climb at a below average pace.

Consulting Segment.

We believe demand for our consulting services will slightly improve in fiscal 2015 and 2016. Since 2011, we launched a marketing initiative for our new One-Stop China Value™ program in an effort to capitalize on the current environment. This program is designed to implement a broad range of strategies to enhance and maximize shareholder value for China-based U.S. public companies. Other marketing plans include sponsoring trade symposiums, investment forums, and forming strategic alliances with industry and trade associations. Presently, a good amount of small to medium sized Chinese internet companies that do not meet Shanghai or Hong Kong listing standards are still seeking listing on the U.S. capital market. Moreover, we have developed Immigrant Investor Program, which is known as the EB-5 program (Employment Based Visa-Category 5). EB-5 sets a minimum investment of $500,000 and foreign investors must be able to prove that their money has created at least 10 jobs for U.S. citizens. In return, the foreign investors get U.S. permanent residence (the “green cards”). Since its inception in 1990, the EB-5 program has generated approximately $6.8 billion in foreign investments in American companies and created at least 50,000 American Jobs. Chinese investors account for an overwhelming 80% of the total EB-5 investment, while South Korea, Taiwan, Mexico and Venezuela make up a large chunk of the rest. In 2014, Chinese nationals accounted for 90% of EB-5 visas issued, compared to just 13% in 2004, according to government data compiled by CNNMoney.

GOING CONCERN

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. The report of our independent registered accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2014 contained a qualification as to our ability to continue as a going concern. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, we reported a net loss of approximately $465,000 and at December 31, 2014 we had a working capital deficit of $7.2 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2014 our revenues declined by approximately 70% from the comparable period in fiscal 2013. These, among other issues, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Revenues

Revenues in the three month ended December 31, 2014 decreased by 70%, as compared to the three month ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to the decreased revenue generated from our Consulting segment and we do not have revenue generated in our Mineral Trading segment.

Our Consulting segment revenues primarily consist of consulting and advisory service fees we received from certain publicly traded U.S. companies with their primary business operations located in the PRC. We receive a fixed number of shares of their marketable securities or fees from those client companies, including both recurring and one-time transaction fees for services provided to clients. Consulting segment revenues vary from period to period depending upon the timing, nature and scope of services we provide to a particular client and performance of our client companies' stock price. Our Consulting segment generated approximately $115,000 in revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $142,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to the declining value of our client companies' stock, coupled with a reduction in scope of consulting and transactional services provided to the new clients during the three months ended December 31, 2014.

Gross Profit

Our consolidated gross profit in the three months ended December 31, 2014 decreased by approximately $132,000 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013. Our consolidated gross profit margin increased to 100% in the three months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to gross profit of 65% during the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increase in gross profit within our Consulting segment due to decreased of cost of revenue.

Gross profit in our Consulting segment for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was approximately $115,000 with a margin of 100%, as compared to a gross profit of $142,000 with a margin of 99.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to lower costs generated by the consulting service rendered to our clients.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses, net of other operating income, decreased by approximately $404,000, or 37%, in the three months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to same period in fiscal year 2014. The decrease was primarily due to a lower operational expense in both our developing business in South America in our Mineral Trading segments and in the Consulting in the three months ended at December 31, 2014, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014.
 
General and administrative expenses in our Consulting segment for the three months ended December 31, 2014 decreased by approximately $168,000, or 20% as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to the expiration of our employment contract with several employees who served our client base for both our U.S. headquarters and China-based operations. As compare with the three months ended December 31, 2014 to the same period of fiscal 2014, we had a decrease of approximately $102,000 in employee payroll, a decrease of $16,000 in insurance expense, a decrease of $14,000 in legal fee, a decrease of $12,000 in office expense with telephone fee, and a decrease of $78,000 in public relation expenses and press release, which were offset by an increase of $61,000 consulting service fee.

General and administrative expenses in our Mineral Trading segment for the three months ended December 31, 2014 decreased by approximately $236,000, or 88% as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to the decreased fees including traveling expenses, office rents, employee and consulting expenses in Chile and US offices.

In the three months ended December 31, 2014, other income was approximately $107,000 as compared to other expense of $1,014,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2013. As compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013, we have an increase of approximately $402,000 in interest expenses and interest expenses – related parties related to the amortization of debt discount, an increase of approximately $1,667,000 in change in fair market value of derivative liability related to our preferred stock, convertible note and warrants, which is non cash gain, a decrease of approximately $94,000 for realized gain on marketable securities available-for-sale, and an increase of approximately $14,000 for loss on revaluation of receivable and payable of marketable securities available-for-sale in the three months ended December 31, 2014.
 
Income Taxes

In both three months periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we did not record income tax, since the loss was significant.

Net Loss from Continuing Operations

Net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2014 amounted to approximately $465,000 as compared to net loss of $1.9 million for the three months ended at December 31, 2013. The loss primarily consisted of $0.57 million in operating expense, offset by $0.1 million in other income.

Discontinued Operations

We do not have any loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to a loss of $9.3 million from discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2013.

Net loss

Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2014 amounted to approximately $465,000, as compared to net loss of approximately $11.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to a decrease of $9.3 million in losses from discontinued operations, a decrease of $0.4 million in total operating expenses and a decrease of $1.1 million in other expenses.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash. As of December 31, 2014 we had a working capital deficit of $7.2 million, as compared to that of $7.1 million as of September 30, 2014. We rely upon cash generated from our operations, the sale of our subsidiaries, access under factoring and other lending relationships and advances from related parties to fund our operations. We do not have any commitments for capital expenditures.

Our Mineral Trading segments have operating losses, and revenues from our Consulting segment vary greatly from period to period. Our Consulting segment generally receives full payment in advance for consulting services to be provided over the term of the contract, primarily in the form of our client companies’ common stock. For transactions in which we advise a new client company on entering into the U.S. public market for the first time, it may take some additional time for us to receive our transaction fees due to the necessary compliance and regulatory filing process, and it is possible that at such time, if ever, when we are able to sell the securities we receive as compensation, the funds we receive upon the sale will be equal to the amount of revenue we initially recognized.  In addition, revenues from this segment do not provide cash to pay costs or operating expenses until we are able to liquidate those securities, on which there are no assurances.  As a result of the working capital deficit and the operating losses incurred, our cash flow from operations is not sufficient to sustain our operations and satisfy our obligations as they become due.

On May 28, 2015, we entered into Stock Purchase Agreements with four Chinese citizens, who were the original lenders in the Secured Promissory Notes between these four individuals and the Company dated August 21, 2012 (the “Original Notes”). The four Original Notes were issued to these four Chinese citizens (collectively, the "Lenders") in an aggregate principle amount of $1,000,000 for value received. These promissory notes were due on February 29, 2013 and bear an interest rate of 12% per annum. As per the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreements, the Lenders agreed to convert the principle amount of the Original Notes into a total of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.05 per share, issuable on or before May 28, 2015.
 
Our cash balance as of December 31, 2014 amounted to approximately $117,000, an increase of $34,000, as compared to September 30, 2014. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, we had cash inflow of $4,408 provided by operating activities.

Our marketable securities available-for-sale and marketable securities available-for-sale – related party as of December 31, 2014 approximately totaled $20,000, a decrease of $28,000 as compared to September 30, 2014. We did not receive marketable securities for services provided to clients in our Consulting segment in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015.

Our accounts receivable and accounts receivable – related party as of December 31, 2014 amounted to $27,000, a decrease of $32,000 as compared to September 30, 2014, primarily due to the decrease of the fair value of accounts receivable in the form of marketable securities available-for-sale.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of prepayments to vendors for services and inventory, other receivables, loans receivable, VAT tax refunds, and security deposits. Prepaid expenses and other current assets as of December 31, 2014 amounted to $1,029,000, an increase of $38,000 as compared to September 30, 2014, primarily due to the advanced payment to the suppliers in the three month ended December 31, 2014.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses represent payables associated with the general operations within each segment, including accrued payrolls. Accounts payable and accrued expenses as of December 31, 2014 amounted to $711,000, a decrease of $60,000 as compared to September 30, 2014, primarily due to decreased travel and other general and administration expenses.

Certain events may have a negative impact on our liquidity position during fiscal year 2015:

 Our short term loans of $200,000 matured by March 18, 2015 and $650,000 matured by January 31, 2015, and currently are in default. While we intend to extend the maturity date for these loans, we have not entered into any agreements with the lenders for such extension.  In the event we are unable to extend the term of these loans, or we are unable to repay these obligations when due, we may have to seek additional financing, and no assurances can be given that such financing would be available on a timely basis, on terms that are acceptable or at all. Failure to meet the repayment or other obligations of our existing debt on or before its due date could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and threaten our financial viability.
 
We maintain cash and cash equivalents in the United States and China. At December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, bank deposits by geographic area, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Cash Provided by (Used) in Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for first quarter of fiscal year 2015 amounted to approximately $4,000, which was primarily due to a net loss of $465,000 and non-cash items such as loss on revaluation for accounts receivable and accounts payable of $41,000, depreciation of $5,000, amortization of debt discount of $361,000, $265,000 for the stock based on compensation to our consultants, an increase of $68,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, an increase of $558,000 in other payable to related parties, offset by a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability of $475,000, a decrease of $395,000 in other payable and an increase of $15,000 in prepaid expense and other current assets..

Net cash provided by investing activities of continuing operations during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 totaled $128,000, as a result of proceeds from sales of marketable securities available-for-sale.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 amounted to $0.

Net cash used in financing activities of continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 amounted to approximately $302,000, primarily due to an increase of $105,000 proceeds from exercise of warrants, $10,000 from borrowing from related parties, and $200,000 borrowings from loans.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Related Dividends

As of December 31, 2014, 1,006 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock remained outstanding. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, we did not pay off accrued ordinary dividends in cash or our comment stock on our Series A convertible preferred stock. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we paid $13,130 of accrued ordinary dividends in cash on our Series A convertible preferred stock.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ITEMS

Under SEC regulations, we are required to disclose our off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, such as changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. An off-balance sheet arrangement means a transaction, agreement or contractual arrangement to which any entity that is not consolidated with us is a party, under which we have:

 
 
Any obligation under certain guarantee contracts,
 
 
Any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets,
 
 
Any obligation under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument, except that it is both indexed to our stock and classified in stockholder’s equity in our statement of financial position, and
 
 
Any obligation arising out of a material variable interest held by us in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we are required to disclose pursuant to these regulations. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into operating lease commitments, purchase commitments and other contractual obligations. These transactions are recognized in our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

A summary of significant accounting policies are discussed in further detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements appearing in this report. We believe that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition.
 
Revenue Recognition

We follow the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605, "Revenue Recognition,” and the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104 and SAB Topic 13 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.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted 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. Actual results when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015 include valuation of marketable securities available-for-sale, allowance for doubtful accounts, the allowance for obsolete inventory, fair value of share-based compensation, the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, and fair value of derivative liability.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We follow ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” as amended by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Financial Staff Position (FSP) No. 157 and related guidance. Those provisions relate to our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value and our fair value disclosures related to financial assets and liabilities. ASC 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, assuming the transaction occurs in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability.

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. We use Level 1 inputs for our fair value measurements whenever there is an active market, with actual quotes, market prices, and observable inputs on the measurement date. We use Level 2 inputs for our fair value measurements whenever there are quoted prices for similar securities in an active market or quoted prices for identical securities in an inactive market. We use observable market data whenever available.

Marketable Securities

Our marketable securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value. We make fair value measurements for the carrying amount of the marketable securities available-for-sale quarterly pursuant to ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” as amended by FASBFSP No. 157 and related guidance. We record an unrealized gain/(loss) on changes in fair value of such marketable securities in the equity section of our balance sheet as Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), pursuant to ASC 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”. We make an analysis at the least on an annual basis to determine if and when such unrealized (loss) has become other than temporarily impaired, and reclassify it as a realized (loss) into our current period’s 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.

All securities (exclusive of preferred stock and common stock purchase warrants) received from our clients as compensation are quoted either on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board or the OTC Markets (formerly known as the Pink Sheets). The securities are typically restricted as to resale. Our policy is to liquidate securities received as compensation when market conditions are favorable for sale. As these securities are often restricted, we are unable to liquidate these securities until the restriction is removed. We recognize revenue for common stock based on the fair value at the time common stock is granted 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 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, a realized gain or loss on the sales of marketable securities available-for-sale and marketable securities available-for-sale - related party is reflected in our net income for the period in which the securities are liquidated.

Comprehensive income

We follow ASC 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements,” and ASC 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” to recognize the elements of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income 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 income for the fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015 included net income, foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of income taxes, and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale marketable securities -related party, net of income taxes.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our CEO , performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. Based on that evaluation solely as a result of the significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended December 31, 2014, our management, including our CEO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The specific significant deficiencies identified by our management were as follows:

 
 
A lack of a fully integrated corporate-wide financial accounting system, including lack of internal control over securities portfolio management and evaluation and lack of business reporting procedures,
 
 
 
Failure to obtain approval of the board of directors prior to the issuance of shares of common stock, including failure to obtain board approval for grants under our various stock compensation plans.
 
The material weakness identified by our management was as follows:
 
 
 
A lack of qualified accounting personnel who have sufficient knowledge in dealing with the complex U.S. GAAP accounting and financial issues in our cross border operations.

A “significant deficiency” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness; yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of a registrant’s financial reporting.  And, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We expect the significant deficiencies will be remediated by the end of fiscal 2015. Until such time, however, as these significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting are remediated, we expect to have continuing weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and related procedures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, due to the significant deficiencies described above, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2014.

Remediation of Significant Deficiencies and Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Through our increased awareness and remediation efforts, we believe that our actions will result in an improvement in our internal control over financial reporting in fiscal 2015. Specifically, we will plan initiating a corporate-wide ERP implementation, conduct ongoing US GAAP trainings, and through our internal reviews and improved control procedures, we will identify certain prior accounting errors and make appropriate error corrections and disclosures, to prevent potential future material misstatements. In addition, we plan to make improvement throughout fiscal 2015 to achieve our overall remediation target and objectives. Management believes that the actions described above will remediate the remaining significant deficiencies we have identified in fiscal 2015. As we work towards improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and implement the remediation measures, we may supplement or modify these remediation measures as appropriate.

 
 
 
- 28 -

 
 
Our management believes that our disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance of achieving their objections. Our management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal financial controls will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
 
Our wholly owned subsidiaries, China Direct Investments, Inc. (“China Direct”) and Capital Resource Management Co., Ltd. (“Capital Resource”), and our Company are involved in the following litigation with a shareholder of Linkwell Corporation, Ltd. (“Plaintiff”):

On January 9, 2013, Plaintiff filed a petition in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida (Case No. 12-cv-62539-WJZ) to complain that Linkwell’s directors (Director Defendants) breached their fiduciary duties to Linkwell and its shareholders by entering into a transaction intended to obscure their “secret transfer” of Linkwell’s valuable subsidiaries to themselves or entities they control or Ecolab, Inc. without fair compensation being paid to Linkwell and by causing Linkwell to file and disseminate materially misleading information.
 
In addition, Plaintiff contended that the “Non-Director Defendants” – including the Company and its subsidiaries, China Direct and Capital Resource – aided and abetted those breaches and conspired with the Director Defendants to commit those breaches. The Plaintiff also contended that all defendants were unjustly enriched and are liable for attorney’s fees. China Direct and Capital Resource are alleged to have acted as consultants who were the “principal moving force” behind the challenged transaction, for which consulting services each is alleged to have received shares of Linkwell stock.

Subsequent to the filing of the initial complaint, Linkwell’s Board of Directors unwound the challenged transaction and the shares received by China Direct and Capital Resource were returned to Linkwell. The Company, as well as China Direct and Capital Resource, has denied all liability and intends to contest the matter vigorously.

On February 14, 2014, Metamining, Inc., Metamining Nevada, Inc., Song Qiang Chen, and Ling Li submitted their objections to Linkwell’s affidavit pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37 for payment of expenses including attorney’s fees. The Company has also produced documents and interrogatory responses in response to discovery served by Plaintiff. A pretrial conference is scheduled for August 28, 2015. As of June 2014, the Plaintiff claimed that his attorneys’ fees and costs exceeded $1 million. As of June 12, 2015, the Company has paid to the attorney of the Plaintiff, Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz, LLP, $33,000 for the attorney fees claimed.

On April 28, 2015, TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP. ("TCA") filed a complaint/petition in the Circut Court of for the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida. (Case No. 15-007210). The complaint/petition alleges that the Company is in 1) breach of credit facility agreement by CD International Enterprises, Inc.; 2) foreclosure of security interest against CD International Enterprises, Inc., CDI China, Inc., China Direct Investments, Inc., CDII Minerals, Inc. International Magnesium Group, Inc., and James (Yuejian) Wang; 3) breach of revolving convertible promissory note by CD International Enterprises, Inc.; 4) breach of guaranty against James (Yuejian) Wang and CDI China, Inc., China Direct Investments, Inc., CDII Minerals, Inc. International Magnesium Group, Inc.; 5) fraudulent misrepresentation as to CD International and James (Yuejian) Wang; and 6) negligent misrepresentation as to CD International Enterprises, Inc. and James (Yuejian). The Company denied such allegations. The Company will vigorously defend and has entered into a counter claim against TCA in violation of Florida Usury Laws. Currently both sides have suspended the litigation and are preparing to settle.
