CHINA DIRECT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2011

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. based company that sources, produces and distributes industrial products in China and the Americas. We also provide business and financial consulting services to public and private American and Chinese businesses. We operate in three identifiable segments, as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Segment Reporting:” Magnesium, Basic Materials and Consulting. Beginning 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 our U.S. based industrial commodities business, established in 2009, we source, finance, manage logistics, and sell industrial commodities from North and South America for ultimate distribution in China.

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 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 we provide.

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

	•		“fiscal 2011” – October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011
	•		“fiscal 2010” — October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010.

Basis of Presentation

Our interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited. We prepared the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, we included all adjustments that are necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Except as disclosed herein, such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Results for the first nine months of the fiscal year may not necessarily be indicative of full year results. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for interim periods.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Concentration of Credit Risks

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, trade accounts receivable and notes receivables. We deposit our cash with high credit quality financial institutions in the United States and China. As of June 30, 2011, we had no bank deposits in the United States that exceeded federally insured limits. At June 30, 2011, we had bank deposits of $5,866,219 in China. In China, there is no equivalent federal deposit insurance as in the United States, so the amounts held in banks in China are not insured. We have not experienced any losses in such bank accounts through June 30, 2011.

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

Country	June 30, 2011				September 30, 2010
United States		4,397,568	43	%		4,851,329	48	%
China		5,866,219	57	%		5,259,489	52	%
Total cash and cash equivalents		10,263,787	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.

CHINA DIRECT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2011

A significant portion of our revenues during the three month period ended June 30, 2011 were comprised of a note receivable in the principal amount of $11,075,206 that is convertible into shares of common stock of the issuer and a receivable of $500,000 that we received from to a client as consulting fees whose ability to pay is dependent upon the success of its business and the industry in which it operates. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts and notes receivables is, however, limited as the payment terms due to generally short payment terms. We also perform ongoing credit evaluations of our clients to help further reduce credit risk.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the parent company is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of our Chinese subsidiaries is the 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 nine month period ended June 30, 2011 and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. A summary of the conversion rates for the periods presented is as follows:

	June 30, 2011		September 30, 2010
Period end RMB: U.S. dollar exchange rate		6.4630		6.6981
Average fiscal-year-to-date RMB: U.S. dollar exchange rate		6.5710		6.8214

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 RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into United States dollars at the rates applied in the translation.

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 and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, taxes payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, 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 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 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 June 30, 2011 was zero as the warrants expected time to exercise expired on June 30, 2011. 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 June 30, 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

Comprehensive Income

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05 amends FASB Codification Topic 220 on comprehensive income (1) to eliminate the current option to present the components of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity, and (2) to require presentation of net income and other comprehensive income (and their respective components) either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. These amendments do not alter any current recognition or measurement requirements in respect of items of other comprehensive income.

The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Earlier adoption is permitted, because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. We will start to adopt this guidance in our 2012 fiscal year.

Business Combinations

In January 2011, ASU No. 2010-29 clarified 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:



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 and nine months ended June 30, 2010, 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 nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (unaudited):

NOTE 4 – ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

Accounts and notes receivables includes a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $11,075,206 (the “Convertible Note”) due from China America Holdings, Inc. (“CAAH”) that we received as payment for certain consulting services we provided to CAAH related to its acquisition of a Chinese tile manufacturer that was completed on June 30, 2011. The Convertible Note bears interest at the rate of 3% per annum and will automatically convert into 1,538,223 shares of CAAH’s common stock upon the completion of, and after giving effect to, a 400 for 1 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) CAAH is in the process of completing in connection with its June 30, 2011 acquisition. We own approximately 15.5% of CAAH’s common stock without regard to the 1,538,223 shares of common stock we expect to receive after CAAH’s proposed Reverse Stock Split. CAAH issued the Convertible Note to us because the number of shares they agreed to pay us for these services exceeded its authorized shares of common stock at June 30, 2011. Accounts and notes receivables also reflects $500,000 of cash that CAAH agreed to pay us, in addition to the Convertible Note, for our services related to its June 30, 2011 acquisition. The $500,000 of cash is payable to us when CAAH receives the proceeds under a note receivable that is due to CAAH on December 31, 2011. We determined the fair value of the Convertible Note by multiplying the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note prior to giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split by the closing price of CAAH’s common stock on June 30, 2011. We recognized revenue of $11,575,206 at June 30, 2011 in connection with these services.

On December 31, 2010, we received a total of 4,740,694 shares of China Education International, Inc. (“CEII”), formerly known as USChina Channel, Inc. common stock as the stock-based payment for consulting services we provided to CEII in connection with CEII’s acquisition of China Education Schools, Ltd. In connection with this transaction, we also paid $170,000 to acquire 758,124 shares of CEII’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 CEII’s securities to value the shares of CEII’s common stock and recognized $4,977,728 or $1.05 per share as our consulting service revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2011.

Invictus Advisory Services, Inc. (“Invictus”), CEII 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 CEII, including advising CEII 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 CEII a total of 600,000 shares of CEII’s common stock previously issued to Invictus as payment for our services. The 600,000 shares of CEII’s common stock we received were fully vested and non-forfeitable at the time of transfer and were valued at $1,800,000. We recognized revenue of $1,500,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The balance of deferred revenue was $300,000 as of June 30, 2011.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the total fair value of CEII’s common stock we received for services was $6,477,729. We transferred shares of CEII’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 CEII. As of June 30, 2011, the aggregated carrying value of the CEII common stock was $17,486,454. The CEII common stock is quoted in the over the counter market system, but is 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 $436,267 and $672,735 at June 30, 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.

NOTE 9 - PROPERTY USE RIGHTS

For the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, amortization expense of the property use rights totaled $54,659 and $31,974, respectively. Property use rights, net of accumulated amortization, consisting of mining and property use rights, amounted to $2,229,511 and $1,970,585 at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, our subsidiary Shanxi Gu County Golden Magnesium Industry Co., Ltd. (“Golden Magnesium”) paid an additional $270,827 for governmental fees required to complete the transfer of the land use right to Golden Magnesium.

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. In July 2009, CDI Jixiang Metal submitted an application to the Ministry of Land Resources of Yongshun County to begin the process of obtaining a 5-year renewal for these mining rights as the current lease expired in October 2009. This application was approved by the Ministry of Land Resources of Yongshun County and was forward to the Ministry of Land Resources of Hunan Province with a recommendation that the application be approved. During the review of the application by the Ministry of Land Resources of Hunan Province a discrepancy in the requested depth of the mine was noted as the depth requested by CDI Jixiang Metal depth was greater than the depth specified in the original permit. In December 2010, CDI Jixiang Metal acknowledged the discrepancy and requested that the application be considered using the previously approved mining depth. In addition, during the Ministry of Land Resources of Hunan Province review, it was determined that CDI Jixiang’s application required submission of reports on mining reserves, mining development and utilization program, environmental geological assessment, and land reclamation plan. These reports were then submitted to the Ministry of Land Resources of Hunan Province and are awaiting approval by government appointed experts. Ministry of Land Resources of Hunan Province has advised CDI Jixiang Metal that a new mining permit will be issued once the reports are approved which are expected to approved in the next several months. Based on these circumstances, we believe that the mining rights will ultimately be renewed. Based on our periodic evaluation of our long-lived assets, we have concluded that none of the assets related to CDI Jixiang are impaired.

The proceeds from this loan were pledged as collateral for a loan from Fushun Bank of Northern China (the “Fushun Bank Loan”) to an unrelated third-party trading partner of CDI Beijing, who is also a strategic business associate of Chi Chen, the General Manager of CDI Beijing and an owner of a 49% noncontrolling interest in that company. The Fushun Bank Loan was used for the borrower's working capital. Subsequently, Mr. Chen pledged his own personal assets as collateral for the Beijing Mingshang Loan. As a result, the removal of the restrictions on this cash and the repayment of this loan were completed within the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

NOTE 12 – 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 June 30, 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 nine months ended June 30, 2011, we paid $60,390 of ordinary dividends in the form of 43,533 shares of our common stock. During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we paid dividends of $60,304 in the form of 45,876 shares of our common stock and cash of $20,125.

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, 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 per share to $1.85 per share as additional intrinsic value beneficially extended to this class of stockholders during the 2009 transition when 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 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 in 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 and a reduction to our retained earnings with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.

Reclassification of Derivative Liabilities

As of June 30, 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 amount of $66,973 reflected the then current fair value of the derivative liabilities. The fair value of the derivative liabilities of $11,811 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital on June 30, 2011 as the expected term of the warrants expired.

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 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 the holder of more than 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2011

U.S. GAAP requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a full valuation allowance of approximately $2,798,226 and $4,507,009 against its net deferred taxes is necessary as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Therefore, our deferred tax asset is zero.

At June 30, 2011 and 2010, we had approximately $8,000,000 and $12,900,000 of U.S. net operating loss carry-forwards remaining, which will expire beginning in 2026. The IRS is currently auditing our consolidated income tax return for 2008. We expect the audit to be completed in the first quarter of 2012.

NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Pan Asia Magnesium

As discussed in Note 17, Subsequent Events, we have entered into a contract to sell our 51% interest in Pan Asia Magnesium (the “Pan Asia Interest”). We recorded an impairment charge encompassing the entire balance of our investment in Pan Asia Magnesium of $7,362,039 when we discontinued this operation on September 29, 2009. Our discontinuance of this operation was a result of a dispute with Shanxi Jinyang Coal and Coke Group Co., Ltd. (“Shanxi Jinyang”) and Ms. Runlian Tian, the noncontrolling shareholders of Pan Asia Magnesium, and its Chairman of the Board of Directors, Haixin Zhao. If we are unable to complete the sale of the Pan Asia Interest, we will evaluate our other options related to our investment in Pan Asia Magnesium. Although there can be no assurances, we believe that if we are able to complete the sale of our interest in Pan Asia Magnesium, it would lead to a resolution of any claims of ours and the noncontrolling shareholders of Pan Asia Magnesium have against the other. See Note 17 – Subsequent Events.

NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

OVERVIEW OF OUR PERFORMANCE AND OPERATIONS

Our Business

We are a U.S. based company that sources, produces and distributes industrial commodities in China and the Americas. We also provide business and financial consulting services to public and private companies primarily operating in China. We operate in three identifiable segments, Magnesium, Basic Materials, and Consulting, in accordance with ASC Topic 280, “Disclosure about segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. We established our Magnesium and Basic Materials segments in China beginning in 2006 and have grown through acquisitions of controlling interests in Chinese private companies. We consolidate these acquisitions as either our wholly or majority owned subsidiaries. Through our U.S. based industrial commodities business, established in 2009, we source, finance, manage logistics, and sell industrial commodities from North and South America for ultimate distribution in China.

As of June 30, 2011, our Magnesium segment represents our largest segment by assets and revenues. We manufacture and sell pure magnesium and related by-products. We also purchase and resell magnesium products manufactured by third parties. Magnesium is the lightest and strongest of the structural metals; it is one fourth the weight of steel, two fifths the weight of titanium and two thirds the weight of aluminum. Magnesium is used in a variety of markets and applications due to the physical and mechanical properties of the element and its alloys. Magnesium ingots are the feedstock for the manufacturing process of titanium and aluminum alloying. Magnesium powder and granules are used as a desulphurizer that removes sulfur in the production process of steel. Also, various types of magnesium alloys which are produced from the pure magnesium ingots we make are used in aircraft, automobile parts, and in electronic equipment such as computers, cameras and cellular phones. In August, 2011 we agreed to sell our 51% ownership interest in Pan Asia Magnesium Bloomgain Investment Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Bloomgain”), an unrelated party for approximately $3,047,582.35 (RMB 20,000,000) payable in cash at closing. Closing of the transaction is subject to various conditions and includes completion of due diligence by Bloomgain, governmental approval of the transfer of the 51% ownership interest in Pan Asia Magnesium, issuance of a new business license and completion of other conditions provided for in the agreement which must satisfied or waived by Bloomgain prior to September 15, 2011.

Our Basic Materials segment engages in the sale and distribution of basic resources within China and the global purchase and sale of industrial commodities which includes mineral ores and non-ferrous metals. In this segment we sell and distribute a variety of products in China including (i) industrial grade synthetic chemicals, (ii) steel products (iii) nonferrous metals, and (iv) recycled materials. Additionally, within this segment we hold the rights to mining properties which we are seeking to sell.

Our Consulting segment provides services to Chinese entities seeking access to the U.S. capital markets. These services include general business consulting, Chinese regulatory advice, translation services, formation of entities in the PRC, coordination of professional resources, strategic alliances and partnerships, advice on effective means of accessing U.S. capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, coordination of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, and corporate asset evaluations.

Our Performance

We experienced the continued revenue growth for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period of fiscal 2010. Revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $57.0 million, an increase of $25.1 million or 78.5%, compared to the same period of fiscal 2010, as a result of an increase in revenues across all of our business segments, including $11.1 million within our Consulting segment, $10.7 million within our Magnesium segment, and $3.3 million within our Basic Materials segment. The revenue increase in our Consulting segment was primarily driven by higher fees earned for consulting services we provided to two new clients. The revenue increase in our Magnesium segment was primarily driven by a 51.6% increase in sales volume and a 10.3% increase in our average sales price per metric ton compared to the prior period in fiscal 2010. The revenue increase in our Basic Materials segment was a result of $2.3 million in revenues generated from our U.S. based industrial commodities business, and an increase of $2.3 million from sales of specialty industrial chemicals, partially offset by a reduction of $1.3 million in sales of steel products and related construction materials due to a reduction in customer orders related to a slowing in China’s urban infrastructure expansion.

Operating income for our third quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $4.6 million as compared to an operating loss of $1.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010; and our net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $4.2 million compared to net loss of $1.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Our operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 resulted in income of $0.11 per basic and diluted share as compared to a loss of $0.04 per basic and diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. We recorded income of $0.20 per basic and diluted share in the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to net loss of $0.02 per basic and diluted share in the same period of fiscal 2010.

Our Magnesium segment sold and distributed 9,049 metric tons of magnesium, including 1,051 metric tons of magnesium powder, generating revenues of $25.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to the sales and distribution of 5,967 metric tons on revenues of $14.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2010, an increase of $10.7 million, or 74.7%. Our Basic Materials segment generated revenues of $20.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $16.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2010, an increase of $3.3 million, or 19.2%. And, finally, our Consulting segment generated revenues of $11.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $0.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2010, an increase of $11.1 million.

Our gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $7.6 million, an increase of $5.6 million, or 285.5%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. Our gross margins increased to 13.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to 6.1% in the same period of fiscal 2010, primarily as a result of an increase of $5.2 million in gross profit within our Consulting segment, an increase of $0.4 million in gross profit or 1.3 percentage points in gross margins within our Basic Materials segment, partially offset by a decrease 1.7 percentage points in gross margins within our Magnesium segment. Gross margins in our magnesium segment were negatively affected by higher depreciation costs associated with our July 2010 acquisition of Ruiming Magnesium, low utilization rates at our recently restarted production facilities as well as higher energy and higher labor costs partially offset by an increase in both average unit pricing and shipping volumes. The improved gross margins within our Consultant segment was primarily attributable to an increase in fees associated with consulting services we provided to a new client, partially offset by costs associated with those services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.3 million or 9.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period of fiscal 2010, primarily due to a reduction of $0.3 million in selling related expenses within our Magnesium segment, and $0.1 million in general and administrative expenses within our Consulting segment, partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in selling expenses related to specialty industrial chemicals within our Basic Materials segment.

Our Outlook

For the remainder of fiscal 2011, we intend to continue to grow our magnesium production internally and through strategic acquisitions as the global demand for magnesium products improves. We also intend expand the operations of our U.S. based industrial commodities business to meet current market demand and to streamline our other PRC based subsidiaries. At June 30, 2011 we had $56.6 million of working capital including $10.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. While this amount is believed sufficient to meet our current operating cash needs, we expect to finance our acquisitions and operations through a combination of issuance of additional shares of our common stock, borrowings and cash flow from operations.

- 24 -

Magnesium segment. Our average magnesium ingot sales price on an ex-works basis during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was approximately $2,765 per metric ton. This price improved from the average price of $2,639 per metric ton in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, and was up approximately 10.3% from the average price of $2,400 per metric ton in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Our sales volume in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 increased at a rate of 51.6% compared to the same period of fiscal 2010. These trends reflect our belief that as worldwide demand accelerates, prices will begin to rise in response. In addition, we believe that demand from the global aerospace, automotive and consumer electronics sectors will fuel additional demand for magnesium ingots and other lightweight metals that are made with magnesium.

In anticipation of continuing increases in worldwide demand for our magnesium products we completed an upgrade of our Baotou Changxin Magnesium facility to utilize as fuel for its furnaces either more energy efficient waste gas produced by nearby coke generating plants or gas supplied by our own coal fueled generators. We commenced the start-up of this facility in April 2011 and commenced production in the middle of the third quarter of fiscal 2011. This facility has an annual production capacity of 24,000 metric tons. In May, 2011, we acquired the remaining 48% interest in Golden Magnesium making it a wholly owned subsidiary. This facility has annual production capacity to produce 12,000 metric tons. Furthermore, as part of our ongoing consolidation plan, we are in the late stage negotiations and completion of due diligence to acquire two additional magnesium production facilities that would add an additional 32,000 metric tons of annual magnesium production to this segment.

Based on the overall trends, an increase in our quoting activities and the indications of increased economic activity worldwide, particularly in the automobile industry, management continues to believe that magnesium demand and prices are poised for further recovery during the remainder of 2011 and beyond. There are no assurances, however, that our beliefs are correct and events outside of our control could adversely impact this segment of our business.

Basic Materials Segment. In the third quarter of fiscal 2011 total revenues of specialty industrial chemical sales increased $2.3 million, or 20.8%, with an increase of 2.4 percentage points in gross margins, and $2.3 million in iron ores sales, partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in construction-related steel product sales coupled with a decrease of 1.3 percentage points in gross margins due to a reduction in customer orders related to a slowing in China’s urban infrastructure expansion. In the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we sold $2.3 million of iron ore to China from our Mexican supplier and we expect to make additional shipments of iron ore from Mexico as well as South America in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and into fiscal 2012. We believe that our efforts in securing new sources of supply in our industrial commodities business will lead to further sales increase within this segment in the coming quarters.

We continue to evaluate strategic alternatives for our zinc ore mine and development stage aluminum recycling business including the partial or full sale of our interest in these businesses. Presently we do not have a timetable for when or if these businesses will be sold.

Consulting Segment. In the third quarter of fiscal 2011 total revenues from our Consulting segment increased $11.1 million, primarily due to higher fees we earned from consulting and advisory services we provided to a new client company. Management believes that the demand for our business and financial consulting services from China’s small and medium sized private companies will increase during the balance of fiscal 2011 and into 2012 as more companies seek to access the U.S. equity markets. We have been actively marketing our advisory services in China and expect to add new consulting clients and complete additional transactions through these enhanced marketing efforts coupled with increases in demand. We will particularly focus our efforts on those companies with potential for growth and profitability which are in need of business development expertise and capital. These efforts include sponsoring trade symposiums, investment forums, and forming strategic alliances with the industry and trade associations under the auspices of the Chinese Government, such as the China Private Enterprises Association, to introduce the U.S. equity market and its advantages to potential clients in China.

In addition to potential transaction fees, we also anticipate receiving additional client fees generated from our ongoing annual service contracts. Management expects that revenues from transactional and activity–based fees from our existing clients and our current pipeline of prospects will be sufficient to support our advisory operations in the U.S. throughout the remainder of fiscal 2011 and beyond. Overall, Management foresees our Consulting segment will remain an important revenue and earnings driver for our future growth in the years to come.

Total consolidated operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 amounted to $4.6 million compared to a consolidated operating loss of $1.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $25.1 million in total revenues and $5.6 million in gross profit, which was further aided by a reduction of $0.3 million in our selling, general and administrative expenses. Total consolidated operating income for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 amounted to $8.0 million compared to a total operating loss of $2.8 million for the same period of fiscal 2010. This improvement in our consolidated operating results was primarily due to an increase of $67.5 million in total revenues, $11.5 million in gross profit, partially offset by an increase of $0.8 million in net operating expenses.

Cost of revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $49.5 million, an increase of 64.9% compared to the same period of fiscal 2010 primarily as a result of an increase of 78.5% in sales revenues and higher overall input costs. Cost of revenues for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 totaled $127.7 million, an increase of 77.9% compared to the same period of fiscal 2010, primarily due to a 87.0% increase in consolidated revenues.

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 increased $5.6 million, or a gross margin of 13.3% compared to a gross margin of 6.1% in the same period of fiscal 2010. The increase in both gross profit and gross margins was primarily due to an $11.1 million gross profit increase attributable to our Consulting segment, and a 1.3 percentage point gross margin improvement within our Basic Materials segment, partially offset by a 1.8 percentage point gross margin decrease within our Magnesium segment. The lower gross margins reflected within our magnesium segment was due to a shift in sales mix from magnesium we produced to distribution sales. Our gross profit for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 increased $11.5 million, or a gross margin of 11.9% compared to 7.4% in the same period of fiscal 2010. This increase in both gross profit and gross margin was primarily attributable to an increase in consolidated sales revenues across all of our market segments, higher gross profit attributable to our Consulting segment, and higher gross margins attributable to our Basic Materials, partially offset by a 0.7 percentage point gross margin decrease within our Magnesium segment.

Net operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $3.0 million, an increase of 9.0% compared to the same period of fiscal 2010 due to a $0.3 million decrease in selling expenses within our Magnesium segment, and a $0.1 million decrease in general and administrative expenses within our Consulting segment, partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in selling expenses within our Basic Materials segment.

Segment Information

A summary of our operating results, by segment, for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

Magnesium Segment Operating Results

Revenues –magnesium segment revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 increased $10.7 million or 74.7% compared to the same period of fiscal 2010. We sold approximately 9,049 metric tons of magnesium at an average selling price of $2,765 per metric ton in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 5,967 metric tons of magnesium at an average selling price of $2,400 per metric ton in the same period of fiscal 2010. Total segment revenues for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 increased $38.2 million, or an increase of 117.8% compared to the same period of fiscal 2010. These increases were primarily due to a 99% increase in sales volumes, including 1,051 metric tons of magnesium powder sold by Ruiming Magnesium which we acquired in July 2010, and an 11.1% increase in our average sales price per metric ton over the same period of fiscal 2010.

Revenues – Related Party for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased $0.1 million or 4.9% compared to the same period of fiscal 2010. And, Revenues – Related Party for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 decreased $3.1 million or 47.1% compared to the same period of fiscal 2010. These decreases were primarily a result of our efforts to align end customer sales with producing entities.

Gross Profit – Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 remained flat at $0.6 million, with a gross margin of 2.5%, a decrease of 1.8 percentage points compared to 4.3% in the same period of fiscal 2010. The decrease in gross margins was mainly attributable to $0.9 million in depreciation expenses associated with our July 2010 acquisition of Ruiming Magnesium and low utilization rates as we restarted production at previously idled facilities, an increase of $0.6 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Prior to inclusion of depreciation expenses, our gross margins were 6.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, a decrease of 0.3 percentage points compared to 6.3% in the same period in fiscal 2010. Gross margins were also negatively impacted, to a lesser extent, by higher energy and labor costs.

Gross profit for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 increased $0.3 million. The increase in gross profit was primarily a result of an increase in revenues. Gross margins were 2.5% or a decrease of 1.8% compared to 4.3% in the same period of fiscal 2010. The decrease in gross margins was primarily a result of depreciation expenses associated with our July 2010 acquisition of Ruiming Magnesium and low utilization rates as we restarted production at previously idled facilities increasing depreciation by $1.1 million to $1.9 million as well as a $33.3 million increase in lower margin revenues from distribution sales, reflecting a shift in our sales mix due to production limitations caused by the lingering effects of government imposed power restrictions during the first six months of fiscal 2011. Prior to inclusion of depreciation, our gross margins decreased to 4.9% for the nine month period of fiscal 2011, a decrease of 1.7 percentage points compared to 6.6% in the same period in fiscal 2010.

Operating Expenses – Segment operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased $0.3 million, with operating expenses which amounted to 3.0% of our total revenues compared to 7.1% in the same period of fiscal 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a $0.3 million decrease in selling related expenses while general and administrative expenses remained flat. Operating expenses for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 totaled $2.8 million, an increase of $1.0 million compared to the same period of fiscal 2010 as a result of an increase of $1.4 million in payroll, utilities, maintenance and other operating related expenses and $0.3 million in depreciation expense, partially offset by a cost recovery of $0.5 million in previously expensed process fees from certain key customers. Depreciation expense totaled $1.2 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $0.9 million in the same period in fiscal 2010.

Basic Materials Segment Operating Results

Revenues – Basic materials segment revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $20.2 million, an increase of 19.2% compared to the same period of fiscal 2010. This increase was primarily a result of $2.3 million in iron ore sales, an increase of $2.3 in revenues from specialty industrial chemical distribution sales, partially offset by a sales decrease of $1.3 million of construction related steel products due to a reduction in customer orders related to a slowing in China’s urban infrastructure expansion. Segment revenues for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 totaled $55.8 million, an increase of 30.7% compared to the same period of fiscal 2010. This increase was primarily a result of a revenue increase of $5.0 million in sales of specialty industrial chemicals in China and $3.8 million in construction related steel products, and partially aided by $4.3 million in sales of iron ore.

Gross Profit – Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 increased $0.4 million, with a gross margin of 6.0% compared to 4.7% in the same period of fiscal 2010. These increases were primarily due to an increase of 19.2% in segment revenues versus an increase of 17.5% in cost of revenues and included $2.3 million in higher margin iron ore sales, and a 2.4 percentage point margin increase from our specialty chemical distribution, partially offset by a (1.3) percentage point margin decrease from our construction related steel distribution in China. Gross profit for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 was $3.4 million, an increase of 48% compared to the $2.3 million in gross profit recorded in the same period in fiscal 2010, due to increased revenue from sales of specialty industrial chemicals, construction related steel products and the commencement of sales from our industrial commodities business. Gross margins the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 were 6.1%, a percentage point improvement 0.7 percentage point increase compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. The increase in gross margins was primarily due to higher margin iron ore sales.

Operating Expenses –Operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 increased $0.1 million, with net operating expenses amounting to 5.0% of our total basic materials segment revenues compared to 5.4% in the same period of fiscal 2010. This increase in expenses was primarily a result of an increase of $0.1 million in selling and marketing related expenses for our specialty industrial chemical distribution. Operating expenses for the nine month period increased $0.6 million, with net operating expenses amounting to 4.8% of our total basic materials segment revenues compared to of 5.0% in the same period of fiscal 2010. The increase in expenses was due to $0.3 million and $0.2 million in selling expenses from our construction related steel products and specialty chemicals businesses, respectively.

Consulting Segment Operating Results

Revenues – Consulting segment revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 increased $11.1 million compared to the same period of fiscal 2010. In addition, consulting segment revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 increased $16.2 million compared to the same period of fiscal 2010. These increases were primarily attributable to $18.1 million in fees we earned for consulting services provided to two new client companies, partially offset by a reduction in fees due to the expiration of a client services contract.

Gross Profit – Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 increased $5.2 million with a gross margin of 48.4% compared to 80.1% in same period of fiscal 2010. The gross profit increase was primarily due to an increase of $11.1 million in consulting service revenues. The decrease in the gross margin is primarily due to $6.0 million in costs associated with transactional business completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 increased $10.0 million compared to the same period of fiscal 2010, primarily due to an increase of $16.2 million in consulting service revenues provided to two new client companies, partially offset by a reduction in fees due to the expiration of a client service contract.

- 29 -

Operating Expenses –Operating expenses consisted of both U.S. and China based consulting related general and administrative expenses as well as operating and related expenses for our U.S.-based corporate head-office. Operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased $0.1 million and for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 decreased $0.8 million. These decreases were primarily a result of a decrease of $0.8 million in general and administrative expenses, which included a reduction of $0.6 million in stock-based compensation and $0.2 million in consulting expenses.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $53,078, or an increase of $45,700 compared to the same period of fiscal 2010. This increase was primarily a result of an increase of $24,547 in income tax expenses due to an increase of taxable income attributable to our Basic Materials segment, $13,978 in alternative minimum tax (net of the deferred tax assets) paid within our Consulting segment, and $7,175 in tax expenses for taxable income and minimum tax obligations incurred at one of our China-based magnesium production facility and Taiyuan representative offices within our Magnesium segment. Income tax expenses for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 totaled $120,719 compared to $62,302 in the same period of fiscal 2010.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $4.2 million compared to a net loss of $1.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2010. Our net income was primarily a result of an increase in $25.1 million in total revenues, and $5.6 million in gross profit, including an increase of $5.2 million and $0.4 million attributable from our Consulting segment and Basic Materials segment, respectively; a reduction of $0.3 million in net operating expenses, partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in total other expenses. Net income for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 totaled $7.4 million compared to net loss of $0.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2010. This increase was primarily a result of higher margined consulting fees we received within our Consulting segment and iron ore sales revenues within our basic materials segment.

Foreign Currency Translation Gain (Loss)

Net gain or loss resulting from foreign currency translations is included in the computation of our Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). The functional currency of our subsidiaries operating in the PRC is the RMB. The financial statements of our subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate at the end of each reporting period for assets and liabilities, and the average rate for revenues, costs, and expenses.

As a result of these translations, we reported a foreign currency translation loss of $0.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $0.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2010. We reported a foreign currency translation gain of $1.4 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $0.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2010. This non-cash gain (loss) had the effect of increasing or decreasing our reported comprehensive income. See “Note 3 - Comprehensive Income” included in the Notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities Available for Sale, Net of Income Tax

The unrealized gain on changes in fair value of marketable securities available-for-sale, net of income taxes, for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $6.4 million compared to an unrealized loss of $0.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2010. The unrealized gain on changes in fair value of marketable securities available-for-sale, net of income taxes, for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 totaled $10.8 million compared to an unrealized loss of $0.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2010. These changes reflect any increase or decrease in the fair market value (FMV) of securities received from our client companies for consulting services.

- 30 -

We classify all marketable securities we receive for consulting services from our client companies that have readily determinable market prices from the stock exchanges as marketable securities available for sale pursuant to ASC 320 “Investment of Debt and Equity Securities.” We make valuations of the carrying amount of these marketable securities available for sale on a quarterly basis. We record an unrealized gain/(loss) for the fair market valuation (FMV) of such securities in the equity section of our balance sheet as Other comprehensive income (OCI). We make an analysis 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.

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 June 30, 2011 our working capital totaled $56.6 million compared to $30.3 million as of September 30, 2010. We rely upon cash generated from our operations, advances from related parties, capital raised through equity sales to fund our operations and borrowings. Our cash balance as of June 30, 2011 totaled $10.3 million, an increase of $0.2 million compared to the balance at September 30, 2010, primarily as a result of an increase of $3.9 million in net proceeds from sales of our common stock, and $1.7 million in capital contribution from noncontrolling interest owners, partially offset by $5.0 million cash used in operating activities.

As part of our ongoing Magnesium segment consolidation plan, in May 2011, we acquired the remaining 48% noncontrolling interest in Golden Magnesium, a production facility for RMB 39,659,400 (approximately $6.1 million) payable by way of issuance of 4,879,280 shares of our unregistered common stock, valued at $1.25 per share. In addition, we are in the late stage negotiations and completion of due diligence to acquire two additional magnesium production facilities that would add an additional 32,000 metric tons of annual magnesium production to this segment. These magnesium facilities are owned or controlled by Yuwei Huang, an executive officer and director of our company and Kong Tung, a director of our company.

In all likelihood, our contemplated acquisitions and the continued implementation of our business model, which includes providing investment capital to augment the growth of our subsidiaries and the operation of our industrial commodities business, will require additional capital through borrowings and/or the issuance of additional shares of our common stock.

While we do not anticipate any difficulties in borrowing or raising the additional capital as needed, we do not presently have any firm commitment from any third parties and it is possible that we may not be able to raise the capital upon terms acceptable to us. In that event, we would be forced to postpone certain of our expansion plans until the capital markets are more readily accessible.

We maintain cash balances in the United States and China. At June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, bank deposits by geographic area, were as follows:

Country	June 30, 2011				September 30, 2010
		Unaudited
United States	$	4,398	43	%	$	4,851,329	48	%
China		5,866	57	%		5,259,489	52	%
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	10,264	100	%	$	10,110,818	100	%

As of June 30, 2011, a substantial portion of our cash balance, 57%, was in the form of RMB held in bank accounts at financial institutions located in the PRC. Cash held in banks in the PRC is not insured. The value of cash on deposit in China of $5.9 million at June 30, 2011 has been converted based on the exchange rate as of June 30, 2011. In 1996, the Chinese government introduced regulations, which relaxed restrictions on the conversion of the RMB; however restrictions still remain, including but not limited to restrictions on foreign invested entities. Foreign invested entities may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents at only those banks authorized to conduct foreign exchanges. Furthermore, the conversion of RMB for capital account items, including direct investments and loans, is subject to PRC government approval. Chinese entities are required to establish and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. We cannot be certain Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility and outflow of RMB, especially with respect to foreign exchange transactions. Accordingly, cash on deposit in banks in the PRC is not readily deployable by us for purposes outside of China.

Current assets as of June 30, 2011 totaled $91.1 million, an increase of 62.8%, compared to September 30, 2010. This increase was primarily a result of an increase of $17.5 million in our net investment in marketable securities available-for-sale, derived mainly from consulting services fees we received from two new clients, after adjustments on changes in fair values; a net increase of $10.7 million in accounts and notes receivable, and a net increase of $5.8 million in inventories, and 3.9 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, partially offset by a decrease of $4.0 million in restricted cash due to the early retirement of a short-term loan within our Basic Materials segment.

A summary of total assets by segment at June 30, 2011 and at September 30, 2010 is as follows:

(Amounts in thousands)	June 30, 2011		September 30, 2010

These outflows were partially offset by an increase of $1.9 million in accounts payable, and $0.2 million on changes in fair value of marketable securities paid for services, as well as non-cash items of $1.7 million in depreciation and amortization, and $0.9 million in stock based compensation.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 totaled $1.6 million, primarily as a result of $2.2 million used for purchases of plant, property, and equipment, and $0.3 million used for property use rights, partially offset by $0.8 million provided by net proceeds from the sales of marketable securities available-for-sale.

Cash provided by investing activities for the nine month period ended June 30, 2010 totaled $5.3 million, which was primarily comprised of $5.9 million provided from our sales of marketable securities, partially offset by $0.6 million used for our purchase of plant, property, and equipment.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 totaled $6.6 million, primarily due to an increase of $4.0 million provided by a release from our restricted cash account, $3.9 million provided by net proceeds from the sales of our common stock, and $1.7 million provided by capital contributions from our noncontrolling interest owners, partially offset by a decrease of $2.9 million used to pay down our loans payable.

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011 totaled $5.4 million, which primarily comprised of $4.7 million provided by net proceeds from the sales of our common stock, $0.3 million provided by the exercise of our warrants, $0.3 million provided by an increase of loans payable, and $0.1 million provided by a decrease of restricted cash.

Series A Preferred Stock and Related Dividends

In February 2008, we completed a private placement (“Series A Preferred Stock Offer”) whereby we sold to accredited investors 12,950 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) together with common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,850,000 shares of our common stock. At closing, we received gross proceeds of $12,950,000 with net proceeds of $11.5 million. The Series A Preferred Stock had a stated value per share of $1,000, carried an 8% per annum dividend rate payable quarterly in arrears, and was originally set to be 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. As of June 30, 2008, holders of our Series A Preferred Stock converted 11,944 shares out of the 12,950 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.

On June 15, 2009, our Series A Preferred Stock was reset to be convertible into our common stock at a new conversion price of $1.85 per share from $7.00 per share set on its original offer as of February 11, 2008. Furthermore, due to our recent registered offer of our common stock with Rodman & Renshaw, effective December 30, 2010, each Series A Preferred Stock was reset again to be readily convertible into 556 shares of our common stock at the current conversion price of $1.80 per share.

In the nine month period ended June 30, 2011, we paid $60,390 of ordinary dividends in the form of 43,533 shares of our common stock at the average price of $1.39 per share. Due to our Series A Preferred Stock conversion price resets, in the nine month period ended June 30, 2011, we recognized a one-time deemed dividend of $0.6 million, to account for the cumulative effects of the embedded beneficial conversion options in our Series A Preferred Stock as a reduction to our retained earnings. Additionally, we also recorded a one-time deemed dividend of $0.1 million as a reduction to our retained earnings, to account for the cumulative effects of an increase in the fair market value extended to our preferred stockholders whose warrants to purchase our common stock were beneficially reset from the original conversion price of $8.00 per share to $1.80 per share.

As of June 30 2011 only 1,006 shares of Series A Preferred remained outstanding.

Non-controlling Interest

At June 30, 2011, our consolidated balance sheet reflects a total noncontrolling interest of $15.8 million which represents the equity portion of our subsidiaries held by non-controlling interest holders. The following table provides information regarding the non-controlling interests by segment:

Segment	June 30, 2011		September 30, 2010
Magnesium segment	$	12,008,625	$	16,741,614
Basic Materials segment		3,746,597		3,258,934

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 is included in Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report. Management believes 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 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 2011 and fiscal 2010 include the allowance for doubtful accounts of accounts receivable, stock-based compensation, and the useful life of property, plant and equipment.

- 36 -

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We follow ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” (SFAS 157), as amended by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Financial Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, on the effective date of FASB Statement No. 157. 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 (SFAS 157) defines fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs to fair value measurements - Level 1, meaning the use of quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2, meaning the use of quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, meaning the use of unobservable inputs. Observable market data should be used when available.

Most, but not all, of our financial instruments are carried at fair value, including, all of our cash equivalents, investments classified as available for sale securities and assets held for sale and are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax. Most, but not all of our valuation measurements are based on Level 1 measurements.

Marketable Securities

We make valuations of the carrying amount of our Marketable Securities Available-for-Sale quarterly pursuant to ASC 320 (SFAS 115), “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”. For marketable securities which have a readily determinable and active quoted price, such as from NASDAQ, NYSE Amex, the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, and the Pink Sheets, we classify such securities as “Marketable Securities Available-for-Sale”, and record the changes in fair value as an unrealized gain/(loss) in the equity section of our balance sheet as Other Comprehensive income (OCI). We make an analysis at the least on an annual basis to determine if and when such unrealized (loss) has become other than temporary, 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.

In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1 (ASC 325-40) to amend the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20 in order to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. This FSP amended EITF 99-20 to more closely align the other-than-temporary impairment guidance therein to the guidance in ASC 320, 10-35-31 (SFAS 115). Retrospective application to a prior interim or annual period is prohibited.

Most of securities (exclusive of preferred stock and common stock purchase warrants) we receive from our clients as compensation are restricted for resale. 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 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. For Marketable Securities Available-for-Sale, 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 Available-for-Sale is reflected in our net income for the period in which the security is liquidated.

Comprehensive income

We follow ASC 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements, and ASC 220 (SFAS 130), “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 includes net income, foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale, net of income taxes, and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale-related party, net of income taxes.

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10 (SFAS 144), “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, we periodically review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the estimated fair value and the book value of the underlying asset. We did not record any impairment charges during the nine month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

- 37 -

Subsidiaries Available for Sale

We follow ASC 360-10-45, “Long-Lived Assets Classified as Held for Sale,” and ASC 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets .” Long-lived assets are classified as held for sale when certain criteria are met. These criteria include management’s commitment to a plan to sell the assets; the availability of the assets for immediate sale in their present condition; an active program to locate buyers and other actions to sell the assets has been initiated; the sale of the assets is probable and their transfer is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; the assets are being marketed at reasonable prices in relation to their fair value; and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan to sell the assets. We measure long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell.

Acquisitions

We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 (SFAS 141R), Business Combinations. In each of our acquisitions for the periods presented, we determined that fair values were equivalent to the acquired historical carrying costs.

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

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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” of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K:

	•		Fluctuations in the pricing and availability of magnesium and in levels of customer demand.
	•		Changes in the prices of magnesium and magnesium-related products.
	•		Our ability to implement our expansion plans for growing our business through increased magnesium production capacity and acquisitions and development of our commodity trading business.
	•		Fluctuations in the cost or availability of coke gas and coal.
	•		Loss of orders from any of our major customers.

	•		Our ability to effectively integrate our acquisitions and to manage our growth and our inability to fully realize any anticipated benefits of acquired business.
	•		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.
	•		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.
	•		Yuwei Huang, our executive vice president – magnesium, director and an officer of several of our magnesium subsidiaries and his daughter Lifei Huang is also an owner and executive officer of several companies which directly compete with our magnesium business.
	•		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.

- 38 -

	•		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.
	•		The risks and hazards inherent in the mining industry on the operations of our basic materials segment.
	•		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.
	•		Delisting of our securities from trading by NASDAQ could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock, our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations and harm our business.
	•		The market price for shares of our common stock has been and may continue to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.

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.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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, or CEO, and our Chief Financial Officer, CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011. Based on that evaluation solely as a result of continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2011.

The specific material weaknesses identified by our management were as follows:

	•		a lack of an integrated financial accounting system,
	•		a lack of internal control over financial reporting related to our consolidated financial results, and
	•		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.

- 39 -

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 material weakness will be remediated by the end of fiscal 2011. Until such time, however, as these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting are remediated, we expect to have continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and related procedures.

Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010 we set forth our remediation actions and committed to a remediation plan in addressing the aforementioned significant deficiencies and/or material weaknesses.

We believe the following actions we have taken and are taking will be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses described above:

•

We will continue to conduct ongoing corporate-wide accounting and internal control training for our China-based accounting personnel, including our global accounting training session to be held from August 31 to September 4, 2011;

	•		We are in the early stages of a phased implementation of Ufida NC financial management software modules, part of a corporate-wide enterprise resources planning system. We are currently testing the completed implementation of this system at Golden Magnesium and plan to roll out implementation at our additional magnesium facilities upon completion of testing. After fully implementing this system in our Magnesium segment which is expected by the end of 2011, we expect that this system will enhance our management and reporting capabilities and standardize the process and access to financial reports in a timely manner in our magnesium segment; and
	•		We will continue to conduct ongoing reviews of our internal control over financial reporting.

Although we have initiated some actions meant to address the material weaknesses identified in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 as noted above, we believe that these actions did not result in any significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. In addition, a substantial improvement needs to be made throughout the remainder of fiscal 2011 and into fiscal 2012 in order to achieve our overall remediation target and objectives. Management believes, however, the actions described above and as set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, when completed, will remediate the material weaknesses we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. As we work towards improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and implement the remediation measures identified above, we may supplement or modify these remediation measures.

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

There were no changes identified in connection with our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

On April 12, 2011, Sunskar Ltd. (“Sunskar”) filed a Petition to Compel us to Arbitration in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 11CV2499). The petition alleges that China Direct breached an agreement for the charter of a vessel owned by Sunskar. The petition seeks an order of the Court appointing an arbitrator on our behalf and directing us to proceed to arbitration as provided for in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1, et seq. and New York Convention, 9 U.S.C. §201, et. seq. In addition, Sunskar claims damages in excess of $1,000,000 as a result of our alleged breach of the agreement. On May 20, 2011 we filed an answer and memorandum of law in support of our answer to the petition to compel arbitration disputing the existence of any binding obligation to Sunskar. On June 6, 2011 Sunskar filed a reply and memorandum of law in opposition to our answer. On July 1, 2011 the Court issued a scheduling order instructing the parties to pursue settlement negotiations under the supervision of the Magistrate Judge and setting dates for filing of an amended petition by Sunskar and response dates to that petition. On July 8, 2011, Sunskar filed an amended petition for order compelling arbitration to add our wholly owned subsidiary CDII Trading, Inc. (“CDII Trading”) as a party. On July 29, 2011 CDII Trading filed a memorandum of law in opposition to Sunskar’s amended petition and on August 4, 2011 Sunskar filed its reply memorandum of law in support of its amended petition disputing the existence of any binding obligation to Sunskar. We believe that Sunskar’s claim is totally without merit and we intend to continue to vigorously defend ourselves against the allegations.

In addition to the matter discussed above, a discussion of other legal proceedings can be found under Item 3, “Legal Proceedings”, in our fiscal 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other than as stated above, there has been no material change in our Legal Proceedings from those previously discussed in the fiscal 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
