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

This report contains forward-looking statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company's future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management's plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "will" and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. A list of factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially is set forth below, and these factors are discussed in greater detail under Item 1A - "Risk Factors" and our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

	-		Our ability to continue as a going concern.
	-		Continued global economic weakness is expected to reduce demand for our products in each of our segments.
	-		Our ability to implement our expansion plans for growing our business through acquisitions and development of our commodity trading business.
	-		Loss of orders from any of our major customers.
	-		The value of the equity securities we accept as compensation is subject to adjustment which could result in losses to us in future periods.

	-		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.

	-		Potential impact of PRC regulations on our intercompany loans.
	-		Our ability to assure that related party transactions are fair to our company and are not possible violations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
	-		The scope of our related party transactions and potential conflicts of interest arising from these transactions.
	-		Our ability to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act which could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
	-		Limits under the Investment Company Act of 1940 on the value of securities we can accept as payment for our business consulting services.
	-		Our acquisition efforts in future periods may be dilutive to our then current shareholders.
	-		Our inability to enforce our rights due to policies regarding the regulation of foreign investments in the PRC.
	-		The impact of environmental and safety regulations, which may increase our compliance costs and reduce our overall profitability.
	-		The effect of changes resulting from the political and economic policies of the Chinese government on our assets and operations located in the PRC.

	-		The 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 our investment.
	-		The market price of our common stock has been and may continue to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations and the impact of penny stock rules on the liquidity of our common stock.

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

PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS.

OVERVIEW

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

We currently operate our business in two segments, trading segment and consulting segment. We used to name "Trading segment" as "Mineral Trading segment" and "Basic Materials segment". Basic Materials segment used to include our subsidiaries, Lang Chemial and CDI Beijing. Since we disposed both subsidiaries on September 30, 2012, we focused on trading business in South America, and we renamed our Basic Materials segment to Mineral Trading segment in fiscal year 2014 and to Trading Segment in fiscal year 2016. Our Trading segment sources Cannabidiol (CBD)-related products, industrial commodities, and our Consulting segment provides business and management consulting services to American and Chinese companies that operate primarily in China and the Americas.

Our corporate headquarters are in Plantation, Florida, which houses the U.S. executive and administrative team that guides our overall operations. Our U.S. office employs English and Chinese speaking business and accounting staff. These professionals focus on due diligence, business development, marketing, accounting and compliance with the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and other applicable laws in the U.S. and the People's Republic of China ("PRC").

Historically, we had the third segment, Magnesium segment, which represented our largest segment by assets and revenues. On September 30, 2014, we signed a Share Exchange Agreement with Yuwei Huang, a related party, selling our Magnesium Segment to Mr. Huang and in return, Mr. Huang and other parties have returned and cancelled 8,075,949 shares of the Company's common stock held by such parties related to Mr. Huang. In addition, 41,524 shares of convertible Series D Preferred Stock were cancelled within 10 business days after the Share Exchange Agreement was signed.

On March 7, 2016, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") to acquire 100% ownership interest in China Manor Assets Investment Management Company, Ltd. ("CMAIM") in exchange for the 1,670,000 shares of the Company's Series G convertible preferred stock. The preferred stock can be converted to Company's common stock upon a listing of the Company's common stock on NYSE or NASDAQ. The convertibility ratio is one share of the preferred stock to one thousand shares of Company's common stock. Each share of the preferred stock has the voting rights of 1,000 shares of Company common stock; and, thus, Xiangjun Wang, the sole equity owner of CMAIM, will be able to vote approximately 70% of the Company's common stock and control the Company. CDII prepared for issuance to Mr. Xiangjun Wang, the sole equity owner of CMAIM, 1,670,000 shares of company's Series G convertible preferred stock on April 30, 2016. However, the Company did not receive the equity interest of CMAIM and the preferred stock was not issued to Mr. Xiangjun Wang. On June 30, 2016, both parties agreed in formal writing to postpone the Acquisition Agreement due to the fact that certain capitalization conditions of CMAIM were not met. In September 2016, the Company cancelled the Series G convertible preferred stock that was prepared to be issued to Mr. Xiangjun Wang and the acquisition was terminated. As a result of certain closing conditions not being met, the transaction did not close.

In April 2015, we sold our entire 95% equity interest in CDI Jingkun Zinc Industry Co., Ltd. ("CDI Jingkun Zinc") and 100% equity interest in Shanghai CDI Metal Material Co., Ltd. ("CDI Metal") to Xiaowen Zhuang, a related party individual, for zero consideration. We also sold our 100% equity interest in CDI Jixiang Metal Co., Ltd. ("CDI Jixiang Metal") to Dragon Capital Group Corp. ("Dragon Capital"), a related party company, for zero consideration. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company also terminated operations in Chile. The Chilean government has granted us approval to officially close down the business on July 31, 2015.

In April 2016, the Company ceased the operations and abandoned Capital Resource Management Co., Ltd. ("Capital Resource Management"), an entity in the Consulting segment. The disposal of Capital Resource Management does not qualify as discontinued operations, nor is it a significant disposition because Capital Resource Management had limited net assets and engaged in minimal operations. The loss on disposal of Capital Resource Management was $50,590, which was reported as "loss on disposal of subsidiary" for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.

Corporate Initiatives

In our Trading segment, we commenced sales from our U.S.-based industrial commodities business. We established operations in Chile, Peru and Bolivia where we entered into contracts with local operators and producers to secure supplies of iron ore, copper concentrate and other minerals. Throughout the course of fiscal year 2012 to 2016 we have developed a relationship with a leading European logistics and trading solution company to sell our sourced iron ore and copper concentrate for delivery into China. We have also worked with our suppliers and local governmental authorities to obtain the necessary permits and approvals to process and export iron ore and copper concentrate on a continuous basis in these countries.

We operate our Trading segment under our wholly owned subsidiary of CDII Minerals, Inc., which was incorporated in June 2010 in Florida. Beginning operations under its predecessor CDII Trading in 2008, CDII Minerals is strategically positioned throughout several countries in South America and has developed the foundation and relationships to expand rapidly. In fiscal year 2014, we purchased iron ore in Ecuador, Bolivia and Chile and exported to China. In fiscal year 2016 and 2015, we did not generate any revenues from the Trading segment. Currently, we are working on expanding our trading business in South America and also looking into various business opportunities with local companies that have good business in the U.S.

In our Consulting segment, we operate under our wholly owned subsidiaries named China Direct Investments, Inc. and CDI Shanghai Management which provide a suite of consulting services to American and Chinese companies that operate primarily in China and the American. We currently have service contracts with clients who conduct business in China or seek to conduct business within China. We generate revenues by providing consulting services in the areas of capital structures and arrangements, mergers, acquisitions and other business transactions, identifying potential areas of growth, translation services, managing and coordinating all necessary government approvals and licenses in the PRC, marketing services and coordination of the preparation of required SEC filings.

Our Consulting segment revenues primarily consist of consulting and advisory service fees we received from certain publicly traded U.S. companies with their primary business operations located in the PRC. Our consulting fees vary based upon the scope of the services to be rendered. Historically, a significant portion of the fees we earned have been paid in the form of our clients' securities. We classify these securities as investments in marketable securities available-for-sale or investment in marketable securities available-for-sale-related party. We receive a fixed number of shares of their marketable securities or fees from those client companies, including both recurring and one-time transaction fees for services provided to clients. Consulting segment revenues vary from period to period depending upon the timing, nature and scope of services we provide to a particular client. In addition to potential transaction fees, we also anticipate receiving additional client fees generated from our ongoing annual service contracts.

TRADING SEGMENT

The scope of CDII trading services include purchasing, brokering, quality control, in addition to conducting comprehensive legal, financial, and technical due diligence on suppliers. In order to fulfill a niche market and facilitate smooth transactions, we have strategically placed ourselves between our suppliers in both North and South America and our buyers in China. We continue to strengthen our sources of supply and distribution networks by sourcing materials from independent producers in various regions of North and South America to help meet the growing demands of our customers in China.

Our Trading segment engages in the sourcing of the global purchase and sale of industrial commodities in the Americas, which include Cannabidiol (CBD)-related products, oil-related products, mineral ores and non-ferrous metals. In fiscal year 2016 and 2015, we do not have revenues from the Trading segment as we adjust our business model. We have focused on the South American market and have established offices in Chile, Peru and Bolivia, but the operation costs were very high and, given the continuing drop of the iron ore market price and other mineral market price, we suspended operations in Chile and Peru on September 30, 2014. In fiscal year 2014, we delivered copper concentrate from Chile and Bolivia to China. In order to fulfill a niche market and facilitate smooth transactions, we have been strategically placing ourselves between our suppliers in South America and our buyers in China. Currently, we are working on expanding our trading business in South America and also looking into various business opportunities with local companies that have good business in South America and Asia.

We disposed of some entities under this segment in fiscal year 2016 and 2015. See Item 1 for more discussion.

CONSULTING SEGMENT

In our Consulting segment, we provide a suite of consulting services to American and Chinese companies that operate primarily in China and the Americas. We currently have service contracts with clients who conduct business in China or seek to conduct business within China. We generate revenues by providing consulting services in the areas of capital structures and arrangements, mergers, acquisitions and other business transactions, identifying potential areas of growth, translation services, managing and coordinating all necessary government approvals and licenses in the PRC, marketing services, investor relations services, and coordination of the preparation of required SEC filings. Our Consulting segment generated approximately $83,000 in revenues during fiscal year 2016, and $360,000 in fiscal year 2015.

The scope of our Consulting segment is to offer a comprehensive suite of services tailored to meet the needs of each individual client. A significant component of our competitive advantage lies in the quality of our personnel. Members of our team possess a working knowledge of the unique characteristics of business operations in the Americas and China. Our function is to provide the necessary resources for Chinese entities to invest in the Americas or oversea clients to invest in China.

Our culturally diverse team has the critical edge in generating global commerce opportunities to these small to medium sized emerging companies. We seek to help navigate through what are often confusing cultural and legal challenges. Our team members have strong working knowledge of the unique characteristics of business operations in the U.S., China, and South America. By employing a multicultural team, through our offices in the U.S., Shanghai, and various locations in South America, we possess numerous advantages critical to international business success. Our Consulting segment revenues primarily consist of consulting and advisory service fees we received from certain publicly traded U.S. companies with their primary business operations located in the PRC. Our consulting fees vary based upon the scope of the services to be rendered. Historically, a significant portion of the fees we earned have been paid in the form of our clients' securities. We classify these securities as investments in marketable securities available-for-sale or investment in marketable securities available-for-sale-related party. We receive a fixed number of shares of their marketable securities or fees from those client companies, including both recurring and one-time transaction fees for services provided to clients. Consulting segment revenues vary from period to period depending upon the timing, nature and scope of services we provide to a particular client. In addition to potential transaction fees, we also anticipate receiving additional client fees generated from our ongoing annual service contracts.

Currently, we are providing advisory and management services to our current clients and meanwhile are looking into opportunities to work with local firms for appropriate funding programs.

EMPLOYEES

As of September 30, 2016 we have 8 full-time employees, including 4 full-time employees in the United States and 4 full-time employees in the PRC. We believe we have good working relationships with our employees. We are currently not a party to any collective bargaining agreements.

For our employees in the PRC, we are required to contribute a portion of their total salaries to the Chinese government's social insurance funds, including medical insurance, unemployment insurance and job injuries insurance, as well as a housing assistance fund, in accordance with relevant regulations. We expect the amount of our contribution to the government's social insurance funds to increase in the future as we expand our workforce and operations.

COMPETITION

Our subsidiaries and the business segments they operate in face unique challenges and extensive competition.

Trading Segment. While we believe our subsidiaries in this segment have viable business models, we also recognize that many rival entities possess greater financial and technical resources to compete in these businesses. We compete with a variety of companies, which include global and domestic distribution agents as well as manufacturers. These companies have more capital, longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial and marketing resources than us. These competitors may offer a more comprehensive array of products and services than we are able to provide. For these and other reasons, these competitors may achieve greater acceptance in the marketplace than our company, limiting our ability to gain market share and customer loyalty and increase our revenues. We believe that we compete primarily on the basis of price and availability of the products we sell. In fiscal year 2015, we disposed of some entities under this segment. See Item 1 for more discussion.

- 3 -

Consulting Segment. The services we offer in our Consulting segment compete with the services offered by many entities and individuals seeking to take advantage of the growing need of Chinese entities seeking management advice in order to obtain access to U.S. capital markets for their expansion. This competition ranges from large management consulting firms and investment banks that offer a broad range of consulting and financial services, to small companies and independent contractors that provide specialized services. Many of the firms prospecting these clients are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Furthermore, we acknowledge we are competing with firms that may possess greater financial, marketing, technical, human and other resources. We believe that we compete primarily on the basis of our ability to offer a wider range of value-added services than our competitors. In light of the current global economic environment and a continuation of the downturn in the global capital markets and concerns of China based companies, we believe it is difficult for smaller companies with operations based in China to attract interest in the financial community, make acquisitions and increase revenues and profitability. These factors impact our clients' ability to pay the management fees needed to meet the costs of providing the services needed to comply with U.S. securities laws, which our competitors may be able to provide at lower rates.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

We have registered the trademarks "China Direct", "Your Direct Link to China" and "CDI" in the United States. We do not consider the protection of our trademarks and brand names to be important to our business.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Despite efforts to develop the legal system over the past several decades, including but not limited to legislation dealing with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade, the PRC continues to lack a comprehensive system of laws. Further, the laws that do exist in the PRC are often vague, ambiguous and difficult to enforce, which could negatively affect our ability to do business in the PRC and compete with other companies in our segments.

In September 2006, the Ministry of Commerce promulgated the Regulations on Foreign Investors' Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises ("M&A Regulations") in an effort to better regulate foreign investment in the PRC. The M&A Regulations were adopted in part as a needed codification of certain joint venture formation and operating practices, and also in response to the government's increasing concern about protecting domestic companies in perceived key industries and those associated with national security, as well as the outflow of well-known trademarks, including traditional Chinese brands.

As a U.S. based company doing business in the PRC, we seek to comply with all PRC laws, rules and regulations and pronouncements, and endeavor to obtain all necessary approvals from applicable PRC regulatory agencies such as the Ministry of Commerce, the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the State Administration for Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

Economic Reform Issues

Since 1979, the Chinese government has reformed its economic systems. Many reforms are unprecedented or experimental; therefore they are expected to be refined and improved. Other political, economic and social factors, such as political changes, changes in the rates of economic growth, unemployment, inflation, or the disparities in per capita wealth among regions in the PRC, could lead to further readjustment of the reform measures. We cannot predict if this refining and readjustment process may negatively affect our operations in future periods, particularly in relation to future policies including but not limited to foreign investment, taxation, inflation and trade.

Currency

The value of the Renminbi ("RMB"), the main currency used in the PRC, fluctuates and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC's political and economic conditions. The conversion of RMB into foreign currencies such as the U.S. dollar have been generally based on rates set by the People's Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day's interbank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange rates on the world financial markets. The currency exchange and fund transfers are regulated by China's State Administration of Foreign Exchange, which sets the relevant laws, regulations, and carries out the supervision of currency exchanges and cross border transfers of related funds, and imposes restrictions and regulatory controls over such exchanges and transfers.

- 4 -

Environment

We are currently subject to numerous regulations relating to the protection of the environment which are highly relevant to our Trading segments in South America. These laws continue to evolve and are becoming increasingly stringent. The ultimate impact of complying with such laws and regulations is not always clearly known or determinable because regulations under some of these laws have not yet been promulgated or are undergoing revision. In fiscal year 2016 and 2015 we did not spend any funds related to compliance with environmental regulations.

The Environmental Protection Law requires production facilities that may cause pollution or produce other toxic materials to take steps to protect the environment and establish an environmental protection and management system. Penalties for breaching the Environmental Protection Law include a warning, payment of a penalty calculated on the damage incurred, or payment of a fine. When an entity has failed to adopt preventive measures or control facilities that meet the requirements of environmental protection standards, it may be required to suspend its production or operations and pay a fine.

OUR CORPORATE HISTORY

We were incorporated on June 7, 1999 in Delaware initially under the name Caprock Corporation to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions.

Between 1999 and 2005 we operated a number of small, start up or development stage businesses. In October 2005, we became a shell company and began a search for a business combination candidate.

On August 16, 2006 we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of China Direct Investments in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of our common stock, which at closing, represented approximately 95% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. China Direct Investments was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on January 18, 2005 and its operations constitute our Consulting segment. As a result of the reverse merger transaction, China Direct Investments became a wholly owned subsidiary and the transaction resulted in a change of control of our company. For financial accounting purposes, the transaction in which we acquired China Direct Investments was treated as a recapitalization of our company with our former stockholders retaining approximately 5.0% of our outstanding common stock.

In September 2006, we changed our name to China Direct, Inc. and in June 2007 we re-domiciled our company from Delaware to Florida. Subsequent to the transaction with China Direct Investments in August 2006, we have substantially grown our business by acquiring growth-oriented companies in the PRC.

In February 2007, we acquired a 51% interest in CDI Magnesium in exchange for 25,000 shares of our common stock valued at $100,000. The fair value of our common stock was based on its value of $4.00 per share on February 6, 2007. We dissolved CDI Magnesium as of September 30, 2011 and wrote off our investment of $100,000 in the company in fiscal year 2011 upon completion of our sale of our 51% interest in Pan Asia Magnesium discussed below.

In September 2007, we acquired a 51% interest in Pan Asia Magnesium in exchange for an aggregate investment of $7.4 million. We began presenting our interest in Pan Asia Magnesium as a discontinued operation beginning with our financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 as a result of a dispute with its former non-controlling shareholder and recorded a $7.4 million impairment charge against our investment in Pan Asia Magnesium. On September 15, 2011 we completed the sale of our 51% ownership interest in Pan Asia Magnesium to Bloomgain Investment Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, an unrelated party for $3,047,582 in cash.

In February 2008, we acquired a 51% interest in Baotou Changxin Magnesium in exchange for $7,084,000 and an additional 39% interest in Baotou Changxin Magnesium in exchange for $5,417,000. Accordingly, we held a 70.9% interest in Baotou Changxin Magnesium. On February 29, 2012, we disposed Excel Rise, which is a shareholder of Baotou Changxin Magnesium. After the disposal, we held 51% interest in Baotou Changxin Magnesium. As described elsewhere herein, in September 2012 we discontinued the operations of Baotou Changxin Magnesium.

In February 2008, we invested $347,222 to acquire an 83% interest in Shanghai CDI Metal. In July 2011, we acquired the remaining 17% non-controlling interest in CDI Metal from its former non-controlling shareholder in exchange for the forgiveness of a loan from CDI Metal to such shareholder in the principal amount of RMB 100,000 (approximately $76,585).

In June 2008, we entered into an agreement to form CDI Beijing. Under the terms of the Agreement, we acquired a 51% interest in CDI Beijing for approximately $1.5 million. On December 30, 2009, the shareholders of CDI Beijing agreed to limit their capital contributions to the $2.9 million they had already contributed and waived their requirement to contribute additional capital including our obligation to contribute $2,200,000 by September 30, 2009.

On March 29, 2009 we changed our name to China Direct Industries, Inc. to more accurately reflect our principal business of producing magnesium and distributing basic materials in the PRC.

On July 13, 2010, we entered into an equity transfer agreement with Pine Capital Enterprises, Inc. ("Pine Capital") and Taiyuan Yiwei Magnesium Industry Co., Ltd. ("Yiwei Magnesium") to acquire an 80% interest in Ruiming Magnesium effective as of July 1, 2010, for RMB 44,880,000 (approximately $6,451,677) comprised of $2,428,864 in cash, 769,231 shares of our common stock valued at $846,154, and an assignment of a portion of our interest in Excel Rise in the amount of $2,367,038. The remaining 20% interest in Ruiming Magnesium is owned by Pine Capital. Yuwei Huang, our executive vice president - magnesium and member of our board of directors, owns or controls Pine Capital and Yiwei Magnesium.

On May 6, 2011 we entered into a stock transfer contract with Mr. Kong Tung, a member of our board of directors, and Mr. Hui Dong, his son, both of whom were the shareholders of our subsidiary Beauty East prior to our acquisition of that company. We acquired 100% of Beauty East in exchange for 4,879,280 shares of our common stock valued at $6,147,893 or $1.26 per share.

On August 29, 2011, we signed the acquisition agreements for 100% of Golden Trust Magnesium and 80% of Lingshi Magnesium. We subsequently entered into several supplemental agreements and pursuant to the last supplemental agreement, the aggregate purchase price was $26.4 million, to be paid by a combination of $15.0 million in cash or assignment of intercompany loans, $6.7 million in shares of our common stock, and $4.7 million by way of transferring our interest in our Excel Rise subsidiary. The Company completed the acquisition of Lingshi Magnesium on August 12, 2013 and the acquisition of Golden Trust Magnesium on March 7, 2014.

On February 29, 2012, our shareholders approved an amendment to our articles of incorporation in order to change our corporate name from China Direct Industries, Inc. to CD International Enterprises, Inc.

On September 28, 2012, we sold our 51% interest in Lang Chemical for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.2 million, with $600,000 tendered at closing and the balance payable over a year with annual interest of 6% per year payable in quarterly installments. We acquired our stake in Lang Chemical in 2006 for approximately $700,000. This disposition is consistent with our strategy to streamline our investment and assets in China committed to this segment due to poor performance over the past year and realign our investments to our industrial commodities business in the Americas to maximize our profits and cash flow over the next fiscal year and beyond.

On October 8, 2012, we sold our 51% interest in CDI Beijing for $1.6 million pursuant to the terms of an equity transfer agreement by and among CDI Shanghai Management, CDI Beijing and Chi Chen and Huijuan Chen. Mr. Chi Chen served as vice president of our Mineral Trading segment and was a minority owner of CDI Beijing. .

On September 30, 2014, CDI China, Inc. signed the Share Exchange Agreement with Yuwei Huang selling our Magnesium segment including Lingshi Magnesium, Baotou Changxin Magnesium, Ruiming Magnesium, Chang Magnesium, Golden Trust Magnesium, and IMTC to Mr. Huang and in return, Mr. Huang cancelled 8,075,949 shares of CDII common stock held by different individuals related to Mr. Huang and cancelled the right to receive 41,524 convertible Series D Preferred Stock within 10 business days.

On September 30, 2014, CD International Enterprises, Inc. signed the Share Exchange Agreement with EM Resource Enterprises, Inc. ("EM"), to acquire 100% of equity ownership of EM from Manuel Mustafa, the sole shareholder, in exchange for a $2 million note payable within two years and 209,375 shares of CDII Series E Convertible Preferred Stock with a total market value of $13.4 million. The preferred stock can be converted to CDII common stock as of October 1, 2017 at a ratio of each share of the preferred stock to 1,000 shares of CDII common stock. The conversion price shall be $0.064 per share, the average closing price of CDII common stock 10 trading days (September 16 to September 29, 2014) prior to September 30, 2014. The preferred stock has no voting rights. The payment of the Note will rely on cash flow of EM operations and/or future financing of CDII.

- 6 -

On January 8, 2015, CD International Enterprises, Inc., EM Resources Enterprises, Inc., and Manuel Mustafa, the President and sole owner of EM, elected not to proceed with the merger between the Company and EM. This agreement was terminated without penalty to the Company or EM pursuant to the Acquisition Termination Agreement between the parties dated January 8, 2015 as all parties desired to terminate the Merger Agreements for mutual benefit. The Company returned the 100% equity ownership of EM to Mr. Mustafa for cancelation of the Note and the CDII Shares issued. Mr. Mustafa will remain a consultant to the Company for ongoing and future projects.

On April 28, 2015, we entered into an agreement with Xiaowen Zhuang, a Chinese individual, a management member of CDI Shanghai Management and the brother of James (Yuejian) Wang, the CEO of the Company, to transfer our entire 95% equity interest and all liabilities in CDI Jingkun Zinc and 100% equity interest and all liabilities in CDI Metal to Xiaowen Zhuang, for a consideration of $0.

On April 30, 2015, we entered into an agreement with Dragon Capital Group Corp, to transfer our 100% equity interest and all liabilities in CDI Jixiang Metal for a consideration of $0.

In April 2016, the Company ceased the operation and disposed of Capital Resource Management Co., Ltd. ("Capital Resource Management"), an entity in the Consulting segment. The disposal of Capital Resource Management does not qualify as discontinued operations, nor is it a significant disposition because Capital Resource Management had limited net assets and engaged in minimal operations. The loss on disposal of Capital Resource Management was $50,590, which was reported as "loss on disposal of subsidiary" for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that there are various risks. You should consider carefully these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this annual report before you decide to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related To Our Business

Our auditors have raised substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. For fiscal year 2016 and 2015, we reported a loss from continuing operations of $20.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively, which was primarily attributable to the impact of low gross profit. In addition, the Company has a significant amount of short term loan payable, totaling $1.7 million from unrelated parties, which requires the Company to secure additional funds given the Company's current cash position. These, among other operational and working capital deficit issues, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There are no assurances that we will be able to return to profitable operations in the future or that we will not recognize additional write-offs in future periods which will adversely impact our financial results.

Our revenues declined in fiscal year 2016 and there are no assurances they will return to historic levels.

Our revenues from continuing operations declined by 77% in fiscal year 2016 from fiscal year 2015 which was primarily attributable to declines in revenues from both our Consulting and our Trading segment. Our ability to increase our revenues across all segments in fiscal year 2017 and beyond is dependent upon general economic growth in our markets, our ability to effectively compete and access to sufficient capital. There are no assurances we will be successful in increasing our revenues in future periods.

We reported losses for fiscal year 2016 and our gross profit margins are not sufficient to enable us to report profitable operations.

Our comprehensive loss attributable to common stockholders for fiscal year 2016 was $20.3 million. We reported a net loss from continuing operations of $20.4 million in fiscal year 2016, which was primarily attributable to $1.3 million selling, general and administrative expenses. While we expect that these events will improve our financial results in future periods, until such time as we are able to significantly increase our gross profit, our ability to report profitable operations could be adversely impacted.

The metals industry is highly cyclical. Fluctuations in the pricing and availability of minerals and in levels of customer demand have historically been severe, and future changes and/or fluctuations could cause us to experience lower sales volumes and revenues, which would negatively impact our profit margins.

The metals industry is highly cyclical. The length and magnitude of industry cycles have varied over time and by product, but generally reflect changes in macroeconomic conditions, levels of industry capacity and availability of usable raw materials. The overall levels of demand for our minerals and minerals-based products reflect fluctuations in levels of end-user demand, which depend in large part on general macroeconomic conditions worldwide which then impact the level of production. The market for these products are heavily dependent on general economic conditions, including the availability of affordable energy sources, employment levels, interest rates, consumer confidence and construction demand. These cyclical shifts in our customers' industries tend to result in significant fluctuations in demand and pricing for our products. As a result, in periods of recession or low economic growth, metals companies, including ours, have generally tended to under-perform compared to other industries. We generally have high fixed costs, so changes in industry demand that impact our production volume also can significantly impact our profit margins and our overall financial condition. Economic downturns in the worldwide economy or a prolonged decline in demand in our Trading segment has had a negative impact on our operations and a continuation or further deterioration of current economic conditions could have a negative impact on our future financial condition or results of operations.

The value of the equity securities we accept as compensation is subject to adjustment which could result in losses to us in future periods.

In our Consulting segment, historically we have accepted equity securities of our clients as compensation for services. These securities are reflected on our balance sheet as "marketable securities available-for-sale". At the end of each period, we evaluate the carrying value of the marketable securities for a decrease in value. We evaluate the company underlying these marketable securities to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other than temporary. If the decline in fair value is judged to be "other- than- temporary", the cost basis of the individual security shall be written down to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down is charged to earnings. As a result of these policies, we recorded a one-time loss of $8.1 million as a result of significant declines in the market value of other receivable marketable securities during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. Any future additional impairment would adversely affect our operating results for the corresponding periods in that we would be required to reduce the carrying value of these investments. In addition, if we are unable to liquidate these securities, we will be required to write off the investments which would adversely affect our financial position.

We need additional financing to fund acquisitions and our operations which we may not be able to obtain on acceptable terms. Additional capital raising efforts in future periods may be dilutive to our then current shareholders or result in increased interest expense in future periods.

We may need to raise additional working capital to fund expected growth in our industrial commodities business. Our future capital requirements depend on a number of factors, including our operations, the financial condition of an acquisition target and its need for capital, our ability to finance our purchases of commodities with financial instruments provided by buyers, our ability to generate revenues from other sources, and our ability to manage the growth of our business and our ability to control our expenses. Also, if we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. As we will generally not be required to obtain the consent of our shareholders before entering into acquisition transactions, shareholders are dependent upon the judgment of our management in determining the number and characteristics of stock issued as consideration in an acquisition. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the working capital as needed in the future on terms acceptable to us, if at all, as the current capital markets have been adversely affected by the severe liquidity crisis. If we do not raise capital as needed, we will be unable to operate our business or fully implement our acquisition expansion strategy.

We are dependent on certain key personnel and the loss of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The loss of one or more of these key employees or our chief executive officer, Dr. Wang, could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results. As a result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

As described later in this report, our management has determined that as of September 30, 2016, we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework as a result of identified significant deficiencies and material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of a registrant's financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a 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 will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. If the result of our remediation of the identified significant deficiencies and material weakness is not successful, or if additional significant deficiencies are identified in our internal control over financial reporting, our management will be unable to report favorably as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and/or our disclosure controls and procedures, and we could be required to further implement expensive and time-consuming remedial measures and potentially lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price and potentially subject us to litigation.

Failure to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the PRC. We can make no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Investment Company Act of 1940 will limit the value of securities we can accept as payment for our business consulting services, which may limit our future revenues.

We have historically accepted securities as payment for our services and will likely continue to do so in the future, but only to the extent that it does not cause us to become classified as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. To the extent that we are required to reduce the amount of securities we accept as payment for our consulting services to avoid becoming an investment company, our future revenues from our business consulting services may substantially decline if our clients cannot pay our fees in stock or securities. A reduction in the amount of our consulting fees will materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations in future periods. Any future change in our fee structure for our consulting services could also severely limit our ability to attract business consulting clients in the future.

The acquisition of new businesses is costly and such acquisitions may not enhance our financial condition.

A significant element of our growth strategy is to acquire controlling interests in companies that operate in the PRC and that offer services, products, technologies, industry specializations or geographic coverage that extend or complement our existing business. The process to undertake a potential acquisition is time-consuming and costly. We expect to expend significant resources to undertake business, financial and legal due diligence on our potential acquisition targets and there is no guarantee that we will acquire the company after completing due diligence. The process of identifying and consummating an acquisition could result in the use of substantial amounts of cash and exposure to undisclosed or potential liabilities of acquired companies. In addition, even if we are successful in acquiring additional companies, there are no assurances that the operations of these businesses will enhance our future financial condition. To the extent that a business we acquire does not meet the performance criteria used to establish a purchase price, some or all of the goodwill related to that acquisition or a write down of assets acquired could be charged against our future earnings, if any.

Risk Related to Doing Business in South America

Substantially all of our mineral businesses are operated in South America and are subject to changes resulting from the political and economic policies of the governments of South American countries.

South America is commonly perceived as a volatile business environment. It's futile to attempt to challenge this perception, especially since both the historical facts and anecdotal evidence from throughout the nineteenth, twentieth, and beginning of the twenty-first centuries feed this perception. Ranked as the third-most unstable region in the world in the post-war era, political instability has been a pervasive problem in South America.

Our financial performance may be negatively affected by regulatory, political, economic and social conditions in South American countries in which we have significant operations or projects. In many of these jurisdictions, we are exposed to various risks such as potential renegotiation, nullification or forced modification of existing contracts, expropriation or nationalization of property, foreign exchange controls, changes in local laws, regulations and policies, political instability, bribery, extortion, corruption, civil strife, acts of war, guerilla activities and terrorism. We also face the risk of having to submit to the jurisdiction of a foreign court or arbitration panel or having to enforce a judgment against a sovereign nation within its own territory. Actual or potential political or social changes and changes in economic policy may undermine investor confidence, which may hamper investment and thereby reduce economic growth, and otherwise may adversely affect the economic and other conditions under which we operate in ways that could have a materially negative effect on our business.

We could be adversely affected by changes in government policies or trends such as resource nationalism, including the imposition of new taxes or royalties on mining activities.

In the South American countries where we are present, governments may impose new taxes, raise existing taxes and royalty rates, reduce tax exemptions and benefits, request or force renegotiation of tax stabilization agreements or change the basis on which taxes are calculated in a manner that is unfavorable to us. Governments that have committed to provide a stable taxation or regulatory environment may alter those commitments or shorten their duration.

We are also required to meet domestic beneficiation requirements in certain South American countries in which we operate, such as local processing rules, export taxes or restrictions, or charges on unprocessed ores. The imposition of or increase in such taxes or charges can significantly increase the risk profile and costs of operations in those jurisdictions. We and the mining industry are subject to rising trends of resource nationalism in certain countries in which we operate that can result in constraints on our operations, increased taxation or even expropriations and nationalizations.

Disagreements with local communities of South American countries in which we operate could adversely impact our business and reputation.

Disputes with communities where we operate in South America may arise from time to time. Although we contribute to local communities with taxes, royalties, employment and business opportunities and social programs, expectations are complex and involve multiple stakeholders with different and constantly evolving interests. Some of our current and potential operations are located in or near communities that may regard the operation as being detrimental to their circumstances. Community expectations are typically complex with the potential for multiple inconsistent stakeholder views that may be difficult to resolve. Stakeholder opinion and community acceptance can be subject to many influences, for example, related industries, operations of other groups, local, regional or national events in other places where we operate. In the extreme, our operations may be a focus for civil unrest or criminal activity.

Disagreements or disputes with local groups, including indigenous or aboriginal groups, could cause delays or interruptions to our operations, adversely affect our reputation or otherwise hamper our ability to develop our reserves and conduct our operations. Protesters have taken actions to disrupt our operations and projects, and they may continue to do so in the future. Although we engage in active dialogue with all stakeholders and vigorously defend ourselves against illegal acts, future attempts by protesters to harm our operations could adversely affect our business.

Our projects are subject to risks that may result in increased costs or delay in their implementation.

We are investing to maintain and further increase our production capacity and logistics capabilities and to expand the scope of the minerals we produce. We regularly review the economic viability of our projects. As a result of this review, we may decide to postpone, suspend or interrupt the implementation of certain projects. Our projects are also subject to a number of risks that may adversely affect our growth prospects and profitability, including the following:

- 10 -

1.	Our efforts to develop projects on schedule may be hampered by a lack of infrastructure, including reliable telecommunications services and power supply.

2.	Suppliers and contractors may fail to meet their contractual obligations to us.

3.	We may face unexpected weather conditions or other force majeure events.

4.	We may fail to obtain the required permits and licenses to build a project, or we may experience delays or higher than expected costs in obtaining them.

5.	Joint ventures, strategic partnerships or non-managed operations may not be successful and may not comply with our standards.

6.	Changes in market conditions or regulations may make a project less profitable than expected at the time we initiated work on it.

7.	There may be accidents or incidents during project implementation.

8.	We may face shortages of skilled personnel.

9.	We may encounter delays or higher than expected costs in obtaining the necessary equipment or services and in implementing new technologies to build and operate a project.

Operational problems could materially and adversely affect our business and financial performance.

Ineffective project management and operational breakdowns might require us to suspend or curtail operations, which could generally reduce our productivity. Operational breakdowns could entail failure of critical plant and machinery. There is no assurance that ineffective project management or other operational problems will not occur. Any damages to our projects or delays in our operations caused by ineffective project management or operational breakdowns could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Our business is subject to a number of operational risks that may adversely affect our results of operations, such as:

-	Adverse mining conditions delaying or hampering our ability to produce the expected quantity of minerals and to meet specifications required by customers, which can trigger price adjustments.

-	Unexpected weather conditions or other force majeure events.

-	Delays or interruptions in the transportation of our products, including with railroads, ports and ships.

-	Labor disputes which commonly occur in South American counties may disrupt our operations from time to time.

-	Tropical diseases, HIV/AIDS and other contagious diseases in regions where some of our development projects are located, which pose health and safety risks to our employees.

-	Changes in market conditions or regulations may affect the economic prospects of an operation and make it inconsistent with our business strategy.

-	Disruptions to or unavailability of critical information technology systems or services resulting from accidents or malicious acts.

Our business is exposed to currency risk caused by the fluctuation in exchange rates.

The great majority of our sales are denominated in US dollars, which is also the currency used for holding surplus cash, financing operations, and presenting external and internal results. Although many costs are incurred in US dollars, significant costs are influenced by the local currencies of the South American countries where we operate, principally the Venezuela Bolivar, Peruvian Sol and Chilean Peso. The normal policy is to avoid hedging of foreign exchange rates, so we are vulnerable to appreciation in the value of other currencies against the US dollar, or to prolonged periods of exchange rate volatility.

Our operations are vulnerable to a range of interruptions, not all of which are covered fully by insurance.

Our insurance does not cover every potential loss associated with our operations and adequate coverage at reasonable rates is not always obtainable. In addition, insurance provisions may not fully cover our liability or the consequences of any business interruption. Our business is subject to a number of potential losses that may not be fully covered by insurance, such as:

1. Natural disasters and events - Mining, smelting, refining and infrastructure installations are vulnerable to natural events including earthquakes, drought, flood, fire, storm and the possible effects of climate change.

2. Sustained operational difficulties - We have various operating difficulties, ranging from unexpected geological variations that could result in significant ground or containment failure to breakdown of key capital equipment. Reliable roads, rail networks, ports, power generation and transmission, and water supplies are required to access and conduct our operations. An extended failure of critical system components or malicious actions, including a cybersecurity attack, could result in significant environmental incident, commercial loss or interruption to operations.

- 11 -

3. Major operational failure - Our operations involve chemicals and other substances under high temperature and pressure, with the potential of fire, explosion or other loss of control of the process, leading to a release of hazardous materials. This could occur by accident or a breach of operating standards, and could result in a significant incident.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

The market price for shares of our common stock has been and may continue to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.

The market price for shares of our common stock has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in the last few years. Some specific factors that may have a significant effect on the future market price of our shares of common stock include:

	-		actual or expected fluctuations in our operating results;
	-		variance in our financial performance from the expectations of market analysts;
	-		changes in general economic conditions or general conditions in our industry;
	-		changes in conditions in the financial markets;
	-		announcements of significant acquisitions or contracts by us or our competitors;
	-		our inability to raise additional capital;
	-		changes in applicable laws or regulations, court rulings and enforcement and legal actions;
	-		additions or departures of key management personnel;
	-		actions by our shareholders;
	-		changes in market prices for our products or for our raw materials; and
	-		changes in stock market analyst research and recommendations regarding the shares of our common stock, other comparable companies or our industry generally.

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for companies with PRC based operations in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the affected companies. These broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against that company. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a result of these and other factors, you may be unable to resell your shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid for such shares.

If we are required to redeem our outstanding shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, our liquidity will be adversely impacted in future periods.

Following the July 2012 delisting of our common stock from The NASDAQ Stock Market, the holders of the shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock with a stated value of $1,006,250 were entitled to notice of such event, which is referred to as a "trigger event" in the designations, rights and preferences of this series of stock. This trigger event entitles the holders to request that we redeem the shares at a price per share equal to the sum of:

- the greater of (a) 125% of the conversion amount and (b) the product of (i) the conversion rate in effect at the time as the holder delivers a notice of redemption to us and (ii) the greatest closing sale price of the common stock beginning on the date immediately preceding such event of default and ending on the date the holder delivers the notice of redemption,

- the make-whole additional amount per preferred share being redeemed; and

- default interest at the rate of 1.5% per month.

We do not know if any holder will exercise its right to require us to redeem the shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, or, if a redemption is exercised and we do not redeem the shares, require us to adjust the conversion price of the Series A convertible preferred stock. At the holder's option, the holder may also choose to continue to hold the shares of Series A convertible preferred stock so as to take advantage of the 8% annual dividend or convert the shares into shares of our common stock. In the event we are required to redeem the shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, our liquidity in future periods will be materially and adversely impacted. If the holders choose to convert the shares into shares of our common stock, the issuance of the shares will be dilutive to our existing common stockholders.

Our common stock is quoted in the over the counter market on the OTC Markets.

Our common stock is quoted in the over-the-counter market on the OTC Markets. The OTC Markets offers a quotation service to companies that are unable to list their securities on an exchange or for companies, such as ours, whose securities are not listed on an exchange. The requirements for quotation on the OTC Markets are less regulated than those of an exchange. Because our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets, it is possible that even fewer brokers or dealers would be interested in making a market in our common stock, which further adversely impacts its liquidity.

The tradability of our common stock could be limited under the penny stock regulations which may cause the holders of our common stock difficulty should they wish to sell the shares.

Because the quoted price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, our common stock could be considered a "penny stock," and trading in our common stock could be subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements. The broker/dealer must make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written consent prior to the transaction. SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a "penny stock," including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and its associated risks. These requirements severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market because few brokers or dealers are likely to undertake these compliance activities and this limited liquidity will make it more difficult for an investor to sell his shares of our common stock in the secondary market should the investor wish to liquidate the investment.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other information presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW OF OUR OPERATIONS

Our Business

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

We used to name "Mineral Trading segment" as "Basic Materials segment". Basic Materials segment used to cover our subsidiaries, Lang Chemical and CDI Beijing. Since we disposed both subsidiaries on September 30, 2012, we focused on mineral trading business in South America, and we renamed our Basic Materials segment to Mineral Trading segment in fiscal year 2014. We have focused at the South American market and have established offices in Chile, Peru and Bolivia, but the operation costs were very high and, given the continuing drop of the iron ore market price, we closed offices in Chile and Peru at September 30, 2014. We renamed "Mineral Trading segment" to "Trading segment" in fiscal year 2016. Our Trading segment engages in the source and distribution of the global purchase and sale of industrial commodities in the Americas, which include Cannabidiol (CBD)-related products, mineral ores and non-ferrous metals. We have realigned our investments to our industrial commodities business in the Americas to maximize our profits and cash flow over the past fiscal years of 2016 and 2015.

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

OUR OUTLOOK

A significant portion of our business and operations are in China and, accordingly, its national economy plays a significant role in our results of operations. The Chinese economy advanced 6.8% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to a 6.7% growth in the previous three periods and above market expectations of 6.7%. It was the strongest expansion since the fourth quarter 2015, supported by consumer spending, higher government expenditure and robust bank lending. Considering full 2016, the economy expanded 6.7%; lower than 6.9% in 2015. It is the weakest full-year growth since 1990 but within the government's target range of 6.5% to 7.0%, as consumption and investment growth softened. GDP Annual Growth Rate in China averaged 9.8% from 1989 until 2016, reaching an all time high of 15.4% in the first quarter of 1993 and a record low of 3.8% in the fourth quarter of 1990.

Exports from China declined by 6.1% from a year ago to $209.42 billion in December of 2016, following a revised 1.6% drop in the prior month while markets expected a 3.5% drop. Considering the full year of 2016, sales fell 7.7%, the second straight year of decline and the worst since the depths of the global crisis in 2009. In yuan-denominated terms, exports rose 0.6% from a year earlier, following a 5.9% rise in a month earlier. From January to December of the year, sales dropped by 2.0%. Exports in China averaged $582.74 billion from 1983 until 2016, reaching an all time high of $2,273.72 billion in December of 2014 and a record low of $13 billion in January of 1984.

Information On Trends Impacting Our Reporting Segments Follows:

Trading Segment

As the Chinese economy continues to grow in the next decades, we believe demand for minerals will continue to be strong. In the past fiscal year, the declined price of iron ore, zinc, copper and lead has materially impacted our trading business. As we look for a bounce of basic mineral prices in 2017, we believe our trading activities will pick up. As we have been working on several major contracts, we expect to see major transactions executed in 2017.

Consulting Segment

We believe demand for our consulting services will slightly improve in fiscal year 2017. Our consulting business will focus on our current clients while we try to expand our services to new areas to facilitate business transactions among China, North and South Americas. On February 6, 2015, we received authorization by Automation Division of Shanghai Electric Group Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai Electric Group") as a representative of business development in South America and Africa. Shanghai Electric Group is a multinational power generation and electrical equipment manufacturing company headquartered in Shanghai, China. It has a long history, where one of its oldest subsidiaries was established before 1880. Shanghai Electric Group is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of electrical industrial products including power generation equipment, power transmission and distribution equipment, transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, transport equipment, machine tools, elevators, packaging and print machinery and environmental protection equipment. It is the world's largest manufacturer of steam turbines.

Merger and Acquisition

Management pursues potential mergers and acquisitions to grow the Company's revenues and earnings. Management does not have any specific acquisition target as of now.

GOING CONCERN

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. For fiscal year 2016 we reported a net loss of $20.4 million from continuing operations and working capital deficit of $21.3 million. In addition, the Company has a significant amount of short term loan payable, totaling $1.7 million from unrelated parties, which requires the Company to secure additional funds given the Company's current cash position. The Company's cash and cash equivalent and revenues are not currently sufficient and cannot be projected to cover operating expenses in the coming year. These, among other operational issues, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Revenues

Revenues in fiscal year 2016 decreased by 77%, as compared to fiscal year 2015, primarily due to our Trading segment having no revenue in fiscal year 2016, and our Consulting segment revenues primarily consist of consulting and advisory service fees we received from certain publicly traded U.S. companies with their primary business operations located in the PRC. We receive a fixed number of shares of their marketable securities or fees from those client companies, including both recurring and one-time transaction fees for services provided to clients. Consulting segment revenues vary from period to period depending upon the timing, nature and scope of services we provide to a particular client and performance of our client companies' stock price. Our Consulting segment generated approximately $83,000 in revenues during fiscal year 2016, as compared to $360,000 in fiscal year 2015, primarily due to the declining value of our client companies' stock price, coupled with a reduction in scope of consulting and transactional services provided to the clients during fiscal year 2016.

Gross Profit

Our consolidated gross profit in fiscal year 2016 decreased by 77%, as compared to fiscal year 2015. Our consolidated gross profit margin of fiscal year 2016 was the same as profit margin in fiscal year 2015. Gross profit in our Consulting segment for fiscal year 2016 was approximately $83,000 with a margin of 69%, as compared to $249,000 with a margin of 69% for fiscal year 2015.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses, net of other operating income, decreased by $2,370,656, or 63%, in fiscal year 2016, as compared to fiscal year 2015, due to the fluctuation of general and administrative expenses and loss on disposal of subsidiary of $50,590 for the loss on disposal of Capital Resource Management during the fiscal year 2016.

General and administrative expenses in the Consulting segment approximately decreased by $2,321,000, or 63% in fiscal year 2016, as compared to fiscal year 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $1.3 million in bad debt expenses, a decrease of 323,000 on legal fees, a decrease of $203,000 on accounting fees, a decrease of $12,000 on insurance expenses, a decrease of $38,000 on travel expenses and auto expenses, such as gas, parking and car rental expenses incurred in serving our client base for both our U.S. headquarters and China-based operations, a decrease of $98,000 on consulting service fees, a decrease of $4,000 on public relation fees, a decrease of $8,000 on depreciation expenses, a decrease of $8,000 in office expense with telephone fee, a decrease of $419,000 on employee payroll and employee compensation due to expiration of employment contracts, and offset by an increase of $11,000 on office rents and an increase of $19,000 on stock transfer fee.

General and administrative expenses in our Trading segment decreased by $50,000, or 99%, in fiscal year 2016, as compared to fiscal year 2015. This decrease primarily due to a decrease was primarily due to few operation activities in Trading segment.

Other Expenses

In fiscal year 2016, other expense was approximately $19,081,000 as compared to other expense of $1,137,000 for fiscal year 2015, a change of approximately $17,944,000. As compared to fiscal year 2015, we have an increase of approximately $9,767,000 in change in fair value of derivative liability related to our preferred stock, convertible note and warrants which is non-cash gain, an increase of approximately $1,578,000 in interest expenses primarily related to amortization of debt discount, an increase of approximately $91,000 for realized gain on marketable securities available-for-sale, an increase of approximately $6,591,000 other expense primarily due to $6,012,000 of income tax expense by the IRS assessments of our corporate income taxes for fiscal 2008, 2010, and 2011, offset by a decrease of $579,000 other income primarily from converting the four promissory notes originally signed on August 21, 2012 in an aggregate amount of $1.0 million into 20 million shares of CDII common stock at $0.05 per share, an increase of approximately $25,000 for gain on fair market value on available-for-sale marketable securities, and a decrease of $74,000 in interest expenses from related party.

Income Taxes

In both fiscal year 2016 and 2015, we did not record income taxes, since we had significant losses in both years.

Net Loss from Continuing Operations

Net loss from continuing operations for fiscal year 2016 amounted to $20.4 million as compared to net loss of $4.7 million for fiscal year 2015. The loss for fiscal year 2016 primarily consisted of $1.4 million in operating loss and $19.1 million in other expenses.

- 18 -

Discontinued Operations

We do not have any loss from discontinued operations for the fiscal year 2016. As described elsewhere in this report, in April 2015, the Company sold its entire 95% equity interest in CDI Jingkun Zinc and 100% equity interest in CDI Metal to Xiaowen Zhuang, a management member of CDI Shanghai Management and the brother of James (Yuejian) Wang, the CEO of the Company, for zero consideration. The Company also sold its 100% equity interest in CDI Jixiang Metal to Dragon Capital, a related party company. We also disposed of operation in CDI Chile. As a result, results of operations, financial position and cash flows associated with CDI Jingkun Zinc, CDI Metal, CDI Jixiang Metal and CDI Chile are also reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The Company recorded a gain on disposal of subsidiaries of $1.6 million in fiscal year 2015.

Net Loss

Net loss for fiscal year 2016 amounted to $20.4 million, as compared to net loss of $3.1 million for fiscal year 2015, primarily due to a decrease of $15.8 million in net loss from continuing operations and we also had a decrease of $1.6 million in gain on disposal of subsidiaries.

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 September 30, 2016 we had a working capital deficit of $21.3 million, as compared to $8.9 million as of September 30, 2015. We rely upon cash generated from our operations, the sale of our subsidiaries, access under factoring and other lending relationships and advances from related parties to fund our operations. We do not have any commitments for capital expenditures. Our Trading segment has operating losses, and revenues from our Consulting segment vary greatly from period to period. Our Consulting segment generally receives full payment in advance for consulting services to be provided over the term of the contract, primarily in the form of our client companies' common stock. For transactions in which we advise a new client company on entering into the U.S. public market for the first time, it may take some additional time for us to receive our transaction fees due to the necessary compliance and regulatory filing process, and it is possible that at such time, if ever, when we are able to sell the securities we receive as compensation, the funds we receive upon the sale will not be equal to the amount of revenue we initially recognized. In addition, revenues from this segment do not provide cash to pay costs or operating expenses until we are able to liquidate those securities, on which there are no assurances. As a result of the working capital deficit and the operating losses incurred, our cash flow from operations is not sufficient to sustain our operations and satisfy our obligations as they become due.

Our cash balance as of September 30, 2016 amounted to approximately $10,000, a decrease of $12,000, as compared to September 30, 2015. During fiscal year 2016, we had cash outflow of approximately $867,000 used in operating activities. We had cash inflow of $43,000 provided by investing activities, and we also had inflows of $710,000 net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations.

Our marketable securities available-for-sale as of September 30, 2016 totaled $0, a decrease of $23,000 as compared to September 30, 2015, primarily due to change in fair market value of certain marketable securities and we evaluate our marketable securities to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. We wrote off all marketable securities during fiscal 2016.

Our accounts receivable, including account receivable - related party as of September 30, 2016 amounted to $0, a decrease of $17,000 as compared to September 30, 2015, primarily due to write off $17,000 uncollectible of accounts receivable from the marketable securities.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of prepayments to vendors for services and other receivables, security deposits. Prepaid expenses and other current assets as of September 30, 2016 amounted to $20,000, an increase of $ 3,000 as compared to September 30, 2015, primarily due to the advanced payment on behalf to our consultant.

- 19 -

Short-term loans at September 30, 2016 included $758,000 of loan from TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP, bearing annual interest at 18%, and were due on October 15, 2016. We should make monthly payments to TCA in the amount of $40,000 commencing on November 30, 2015 until the complete repayment of all payables due to TCA; $200,000 of loan from Draco Resources, Inc., bearing annual interest at 2%, which is currently in default; $153,000 loan from Kong Tung, bearing monthly interest at 2%, which was originally due on January 7, 2015 and extended to December 31, 2015; $53,000 of loan from Yewen Xi, bearing annual interest at 12%, of which is due on September 30, 2016, and $200,000 is due on August 31, 2016; $35,000 of total balance of two loans from Money Works Direct, the principal amounts of $50,000 and $120,000, monthly interest rates at 4.44% and 4.61%, respectively, due on October 15, 2016. Secured by pledge of assets of CDII. China Direct Investments made cash repayment of $1,150 for the two loans per business day; and a total of $427,000 convertible loans from multiple institutional investors with a term of four months to one year. These convertible notes bear 8% - 12% annual interest rate and conversion price is equal to 50% - 60% of lowest trading price of CDII common stock for certain consecutive days prior to the conversion. Net of total of debt discount of $145,000, net short-term loan amounted to be $1,701,000 as of September 30, 2016.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses represent payables associated with the general operations within each segment, including accrued payrolls. Accounts payable and accrued expenses as of September 30, 2016 amounted to $899,000, a decrease of $292,000 as compared to September 30, 2015, primarily due to interest payable of approximately $476,000 to short-term loans.

Advances from customers and deferred revenues represent prepayments for products or services, which have not yet been shipped or provided. Advances from customers as of September 30, 2016 amounted to $423,000, the same as it was on September 30, 2015.

Certain events may have a negative impact on our liquidity position during fiscal year 2017:

Our short term loans of $1.7 million matured by September 30, 2016, and currently are in default. While we intend to extend the maturity date for these loans, we have not entered into any agreements with the lenders for such an extension. In the event we are unable to extend the term of these loans, or we are unable to repay these obligations when due, we may have to seek additional financing, and no assurances can be given that such financing would be available on a timely basis, on terms that are acceptable or at all. Failure to meet the repayment or other obligations of our existing debt on or before its due date could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and threaten our financial viability.

We maintain cash and cash equivalents in the United States and China. On September 30, 2016 and 2015, bank deposits by geographic area, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Country	September 30, 2016			September 30, 2015
United States	$	9,221	89%	$	12,463	55%
China		1,088	11%		10,171	45%
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	10,309	100%	$	22,634	100%

Analysis of Cash Flows

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.

- 21 -

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these audited 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.

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

Revenue Recognition

We follow the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605, "Revenue Recognition," and the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104 and SAB Topic 13 for revenue recognition. In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in fiscal year 2016 and fiscal year 2015 include valuation of marketable securities available-for-sale, allowance for doubtful accounts, fair value of share-based compensation, the useful lives and impairment of property, plant and equipment, impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other assets, and fair value of derivative liability.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We follow ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," as amended by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Financial Staff Position (FSP) No. 157 and related guidance. Those provisions relate to our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value and our fair value disclosures related to financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, assuming the transaction occurs in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability.

There are three levels of inputs to fair value measurements - Level 1, meaning the use of quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2, meaning the use of quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, meaning the use of unobservable inputs. We use Level 1 inputs for our fair value measurements whenever there is an active market, with actual quotes, market prices, and observable inputs on the measurement date. We use Level 2 inputs for our fair value measurements whenever there are quoted prices for similar securities in an active market or quoted prices for identical securities in an inactive market. We use observable market data whenever available.

Marketable Securities

Our marketable securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value. We make fair value measurements for the carrying amount of the marketable securities available-for-sale quarterly pursuant to ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," as amended by FASBFSP No. 157 and related guidance. We record an unrealized gain/(loss) on changes in fair value of such marketable securities in the equity section of our balance sheet as Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), pursuant to ASC 320, "Investments - Debt and Equity Securities". We make an analysis at least on an annual basis to determine if and when such unrealized (loss) has become other than temporarily impaired, and reclassify it as a realized (loss) into our current period's net income/(loss). This determination is based on a number of factors, including but not limited to (i) the percentage of the decline, (ii) the severity of the decline in relation to the enterprise/market conditions, and (iii) the duration of the decline.

- 22 -

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

Comprehensive Income

We follow ASC 205, "Presentation of Financial Statements," and ASC 220, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," to recognize the elements of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders' equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive income for the fiscal year 2016 and fiscal year 2015 included 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.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our CEO, performed evaluations of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2016 and 2015. Based on those evaluations, which identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, our management, including our CEO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2016 and 2015.

The material weakness identified by our management was as follows:

	-		A lack of sufficient number of personnel to provide segregation within the functions to be consistent with the objectives of internal control;
	-		A lack of a fully integrated corporate-wide financial accounting system, including a lack of internal control over securities portfolio management and evaluation and a lack of business reporting procedures;
	-		A lack of qualified accounting personnel who have sufficient knowledge in dealing with the complex U.S. GAAP accounting and financial issues; and
	-		A lack of control procedures designed to ensure the accounting records and related information are complete and accurate.

- 23 -

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 weaknesses will be remediated by the end of fiscal year 2016. Until such time, however, as these material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting are remediated, we expect to have continuing weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and related procedures.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted evaluations of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on those evaluations, our management concluded that, due to the significant deficiencies and material weakness described above, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2016 and 2015.

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

Through our increased awareness and remediation efforts, we believe that our actions will result in an improvement in our internal control over financial reporting in fiscal year 2016. Specifically, we plan to initiate a corporate-wide ERP implementation, conduct ongoing US GAAP trainings, and through our internal reviews and improved control procedures, we will identify certain prior accounting errors and make appropriate error corrections and disclosures, to prevent potential future material misstatements. In addition, we plan to make improvement throughout fiscal year 2017 to achieve our overall remediation target and objectives. Management believes that the actions described above will remediate the remaining significant deficiencies and material weakness we have identified in fiscal year 2016. As we work towards improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and implementation of the remediation measures, we may supplement or modify these remediation measures as appropriate.

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

Board Leadership Structure and Board's Role in Risk Oversight

Our Chief Executive Officer also serves as the Chairman and, currently, as sole member of our board of directors and we have not designated any of our independent directors as a "lead director." Our board of directors believes that by combining the role of Chairman with the Chief Executive Officer, the Board may gain valuable perspective that combines the operational experience of a member of management with the oversight focus of a member of the Board.

Risk is inherent within every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, strategic risk and reputation risk. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks we face, while the Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. Taking its risk oversight role, the Board of Directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. To do this, our directors meet regularly with management to discuss strategy and risks we face.

We presently have seven equity compensation plans including our 2006 Equity Compensation Plan ("2006 Equity Plan"), our 2006 Stock Compensation Plan ("2006 Stock Plan"), our 2008 Executive Stock Incentive Plan (the "2008 Executive Plan"), our 2008 Non-Executive Stock Incentive Plan (the "2008 Non-Executive Plan"), our 2012 Equity Compensation Plan (the "2012 Plan"), our 2013 Employee and Consultant Stock Incentive and Compensation Plan (the "2013 Plan"), 2015 Employee and Consultant Stock Incentive and Compensation Plan (the "2015 Plan"), and 2016 Employee and Consultant Stock Incentive and Compensation Plan (the "2016 Plan"). The purpose of the each of the plans is to advance the interests of our company by providing an incentive to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified and competent persons who are important to us and upon whose efforts and judgment the success of our company is largely dependent, including our officers and directors, key employees, consultants and independent contractors. Other than the 2008 Executive Plan under which grants may only be made to our executive officers, our officers, directors, key employees and consultants are eligible to receive awards under each of the plans. Only our employees are eligible to receive incentive options.

- 28 -

Our plans are administered by our board of directors. The Board of Directors determines, from time to time, those of our officers, directors, employees and consultants to whom plan options will be granted, the terms and provisions of the plan options, the dates such plan options will become exercisable, the number of shares subject to each plan option, the purchase price of such shares and the form of payment of such purchase price. All other questions relating to the administration of our plans and the interpretation of the provisions thereof are to be resolved at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors may amend, suspend or terminate any of these plans at any time, except that no amendment can be made which:

increases the total number of shares subject to the plan or changes the minimum purchase price therefore (except in either case in the event of adjustments due to changes in our capitalization),

affects outstanding options or any exercise right thereunder,

extends the term of any option beyond 10 years, or

extends the termination date of the plan.

Unless the plan is earlier suspended or terminated by the Board of Directors, each plan terminates 10 years from the date of the plan's adoption. Any termination of the plan does not affect the validity of any options previously granted thereunder. Generally, the term of each option and the manner in which it may be exercised are determined by the Board of Directors, provided that no option may be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant.

Generally, plan options granted may either be options qualifying as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or options that do not so qualify. Our 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016 Plans do not provide for the grant of incentive options. Any incentive option granted under the particular plan must provide an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of such grant, but the exercise price of any incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our common stock must be at least 110% of such fair market value as determined on the date of the grant. Dependent upon the particular plan, non-qualified options must provide for an exercise price of not less than par value of our common stock on the date of grant up to at least 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

All plan options are non-assignable and non-transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the optionee, may be exercised only by such optionee, except as provided by the Board. If an optionee shall die while being our employee or within three months after termination of employment by us because of disability, or retirement or otherwise, such options may be exercised, to the extent that the optionee shall have been entitled to do so on the date of death or termination of employment, by the person or persons to whom the optionee's right under the option is passed by will or applicable law, or if no such person has such right, by his executors or administrators. Options are also subject to termination by the Board under certain conditions. In the event of termination of employment because of death while being an employee, or because of disability, the optionee's options may be exercised not later than the expiration date specified in the option or one year after the optionee's death, whichever date is earlier, or in the event of termination of employment because of retirement or otherwise, not later than the expiration date specified in the option or one year after the optionee's death, whichever date is earlier. If an optionee's employment by us terminates because of disability and such optionee has not died within the following three months, the options may be exercised, to the extent that the optionee shall have been entitled to do so at the date of the termination of employment, at any time, or from time to time, but not later than the expiration date specified in the option or one year after termination of employment, whichever date is earlier. If an optionee's employment shall terminate for any reason other than death or disability, optionee may exercise the options to the same extent that the options were exercisable on the date of termination, for up to three months following such termination, or on or before the expiration date of the options, whichever occurs first. In the event that the optionee was not entitled to exercise the options at the date of termination or if the optionee does not exercise such options (which were then exercisable) within the time specified herein, the options shall terminate. If an optionee's employment shall terminate for any reason other than death, disability or retirement, all right to exercise the option shall terminate not later than 90 days following the date of such termination of employment, except as otherwise provided under the plan. Non-qualified options are not subject to the foregoing restrictions unless specified by the Board of Directors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

From time to time we have entered into loan agreements with related parties for working capital purposes, including from our Chief Executive Officer, and our directors. These loans are generally unsecured and due on demand. At September 30, 2016 CD International owed James (Yuejian) Wang, our Chief Executive Officer and director, a total of $420,482 including aggregate principal loan amount of $300,000 and accrued interest of $120,482.

Related Person Transaction Policy

In December 2009, our board of directors adopted a written Related Person Transaction Policy that requires the Board of Directors or audit committee to approve or ratify transactions between our company or one or more of our subsidiaries and any related person involving an amount in excess of $120,000. Under the Related Person Transaction Policy, the Board of Directors or audit committee will review the relevant facts of the proposed transaction and the interest of the related person in the transaction, and either approve or reject the proposed transaction. If a related person transaction that has not been previously approved or previously ratified is discovered, that transaction will be presented to the Board of Directors or audit committee for ratification. No director can participate in the deliberation or approval of any related person transaction in which such director is the related person.

For purposes of the Related Person Transaction Policy, a "related person" means:

any director or executive officer of ours,

any nominee for director,

any 5% beneficial owner of our common stock,

any immediate family member of a director, nominee for director, executive officer or 5% beneficial owner of our common stock, and

any firm, corporation, or other entity in which any of these persons is employed or is a partner or principal or in a similar position, or in which such person has a 10% or greater beneficial ownership interest.

The Related Person Transaction Policy will provide that the following types of transactions are deemed to be pre-approved under the policy:

transactions that are available to related persons on the same terms as such transactions are available to all employees generally;

compensation or indemnification arrangements of any executive officer, other than an individual who is an immediate family member of a related person, if such arrangements have been approved by the Board of Directors or the compensation committee;

transactions in which the related person's interest derives solely from his or her ownership of less than 10% of the equity interest in another person (other than a general partnership interest) that is a party to the transaction;

transactions in which the related person's interest derives solely from his or her ownership of a class of our equity securities and all holders of that class of equity securities received the same benefit on a pro rata basis,

director compensation arrangements, if such arrangements have been approved by the Board of Directors or the nominating and corporate governance committee; and

any other transaction which is not required to be disclosed as a "related person transaction" under applicable securities regulations.

The Related Person Transaction Policy defines the term "immediate family member" to mean any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law of a director, nominee for director, executive officer, or 5% beneficial owner of our common stock, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of such director, nominee for director, executive officer, or 5% beneficial owner.

Director Independence

None of the Company's directors is an "independent" director as that term is defined in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedure for Audit and Permitted Non-Audit Services

The audit committee has developed policies and procedures regarding the approval of all non-audit services that are to be rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm, as permitted under applicable laws, and the corresponding fees for such services. In situations where the full audit committee is unavailable to pre-approve any permitted non-audit services to be rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm:

our chief financial officer will evaluate the proposed engagement to confirm that the engagement is not prohibited by any applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission,

following such confirmation by the chief financial officer , the chairperson of the audit committee will determine whether we should engage our independent registered public accounting firm for such permitted non-audit services and, if so, negotiate the terms of the engagement with our independent registered public accounting firm, and

the chairperson of the audit committee will report to the full audit committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting about any engagements of our independent registered public accounting firm for permitted non-audit services that have been approved by the chairperson.

Alternatively, after confirmation by the chief financial officer, the full committee may pre-approve engagements of our independent registered public accounting firm at audit committee meetings.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

CD International Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CD International Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of CD International Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the fact that the Company suffered significant losses from operations and had a working capital deficiency while a significant amount of short-term loans payable is required to be refinanced raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CD INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 and 2015

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

Business and Organization

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

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

In our Trading segment, we source industrial commodities from North and South America for ultimate distribution in China. In our Consulting segment, we provide business and consulting services to U.S. public companies that operate primarily in China. The consulting fees we charge vary based upon the scope of the services.

On September 30, 2014, the Company signed a share exchange agreement with Yuwei Huang ("Mr. Huang"), a related party, selling our Magnesium segment to Mr. Huang and in return, Mr. Huang and other parties have returned and cancelled 8,075,949 shares of the Company's common stock held by such parties related to Mr. Huang. In addition, 41,524 shares of convertible series D preferred stock were cancelled within 10 business days after the share exchange agreement was signed. Historically, the Magnesium segment represented our largest segment by revenues and assets. We have generated negative gross margins and operating losses, and most of our magnesium facilities decreased the level of production or ceased production since 2010. Results of operations, financial position and cash flows associated with the Magnesium segment are separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company suspended the operations in Peru and Bolivia, due to high operation and maintenance cost, and continuous market price drop of the minerals.

In addition, in April 2015, the Company sold its entire 95% equity interest in CDI Jingkun Zinc Industry Co., Ltd. ("CDI Jingkun Zinc") and 100% equity interest in Shanghai CDI Metal Material Co., Ltd. ("CDI Metal") to Xiaowen Zhuang, the management member of CDI Shanghai Management Co., Ltd. ("CDI Shanghai Management") and the brother of James (Yuejian) Wang, the CEO of the Company, for zero consideration. The Company also sold its 100% equity interest in CDI Jixiang Metal Co., Ltd. ("CDI Jixiang Metal") to Dragon Capital Group Corp ("Dragon Capital"), a related party company for zero consideration. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company also ceased the operation of CDII Chile, Ltda. ("CDII Chile") in Chile. As a result, results of operations of CDI Jingkun Zinc, CDI Metal, CDI Jixiang Metal and CDII Chile were separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and the assets and liabilities of CDII Chile as of September 30, 2014 were reclassified to assets and liabilities of discontinued operations. CDI Jingkun Zinc, CDI Metal, CDI Jixiang Metal and CDI Chile were entities in the Trading segment. For additional information, see Note 15 - Discontinued Operations.

In April 2016, the Company ceased the operation and disposed of Capital Resource Management Co., Ltd. ("Capital Resource Management"), an entity in the Consulting segment. The disposal of Capital Resource Management does not qualify as discontinued operations, nor is it a significant disposition because Capital Resource Management had limited net assets and engaged in minimal operations. The loss on the disposal of Capital Resource Management was $50,590, which was reported as "loss on disposal of subsidiary" for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.

For the fiscal year 2016 and 2015, subsidiaries included in continuing operations consisted of the following:

CDI China, Inc. ("CDI China"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDII;

International Magnesium Group, Inc. ("IMG"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDII;

CDII Minerals, Inc. ("CDII Minerals"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDII;

Basis of Presentation

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

"fiscal year 2017" - October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017

"fiscal year 2016" - October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016

"fiscal year 2015" - October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015

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. We included all adjustments that are necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.

Going Concern

For the fiscal year 2016, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $20.4 million and used cash in operation of $0.8 million. The Company also had a working capital deficit of $21.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $108.9 million as of September 30, 2016. In addition, the Company has a significant amount of short term loan payable, totaling $1.7 million from unrelated parties, which requires the Company to secure additional funds given the Company's current cash position. The Company's cash and cash equivalent and revenues are not currently sufficient and cannot be projected to cover operating expenses in the coming year. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management's plans include attempting to raise funds through debt and equity financings and restructure on-going operations to eliminate inefficiencies and develop new business to meet operating needs. There is no assurance that management's plans will be successful. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CDII, as well as our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, including those operating outside the United States, and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. We account for investments in which we exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries consist of the equity portion of the Company's subsidiaries held by non-controlling investors in Trading segment.

Non-controlling Interests

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of consolidated revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include valuation of marketable securities available-for-sale, allowance for doubtful accounts, fair value of share-based compensation and derivative liabilities, the useful lives and impairment of property, plant and equipment, and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other assets.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 and 2015

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

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

Assumptions and estimates employed in these areas are material to our reported financial condition and results of operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

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 September 30, 2016 and 2015, we had no bank deposits in the United States that exceeded federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, we had deposits of $1,088 and $10,171 in banks in China, respectively. 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 September 30, 2016.

As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, bank deposits by geographic area were as follows:

Country	September 30, 2016				September 30, 2015
United States	$	9,221	89	%	$	12,463	55	%
China		1,088	11	%		10,171	45	%
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	10,309	100	%	$	22,634	100	%

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

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. We have established an allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon factors pertaining to the credit risks of specific customers and clients, historical trends, aging of the receivable and other information. Delinquent accounts are written off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, we had $1,800 and $0 allowances for uncollectible accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements." These provisions relate to our consolidated financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value and our fair value disclosures related to financial assets and liabilities. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs to fair value measurements below:

- Level 1, meaning the use of quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

- Level 2, meaning the use of quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable;

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

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

The Company's loans payable approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon management's best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at September 30, 2015 and 2014.

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

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

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

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

The financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2016 are as follows:

Financial assets and liabilities	Fair Value			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Derivative liabilities	$	(9,958,576	)		-	$	-		(9,958,576	)
	$	(9,958,576	)	$	-	$	-	$	(9,958,576	)

The financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2015 are as follows:

Financial assets and liabilities	Fair Value			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Marketable equity securities	$	22,800		$	22,800	$	-	$	-
Receivable of marketable equity securities		7,200			7,200		-		-
Derivative liabilities		(3,210,271	)		-		-		(3,210,271	)
	$	(3,180,271	)	$	30,000	$	-	$	(3,210,271	)

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities that we receive from our customers 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. Pursuant to ASC Topic 320, "Investments - Debt and Equity Securities", our marketable securities have a readily determinable quoted price, such as from NASDAQ, NYSE Euronext, the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, and the OTC Markets Group (formerly known as the Pink Sheets) and any unrealized gain or loss is recognized as an element of comprehensive income or loss based on changes in the fair value of securities as quoted on an exchange or an inter-dealer quotation. Once liquidated, any realized gain or loss on the sale of marketable securities is reflected in our statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the period in which the securities are liquidated.

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

Property, Plant and Equipment

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

Acquisitions

We account for acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 805, "Business Combinations." The acquisition method of accounting for acquired businesses requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Also, transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the purchase price over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. When we have acquired net assets that do not constitute a business under U.S. GAAP, no goodwill has been recognized.

Advances from Customers

Advances from customers represent (i) prepayments to us for merchandise that have not yet been shipped to customers, and (ii) the fair value of securities received as compensation which will be amortized over the term of the respective consulting agreement. We will recognize these advances as revenues as customers take delivery of the goods or when the services have been rendered, in compliance with our revenue recognition policy.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

We follow ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income" to recognize the elements of comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and all changes to the statements of stockholders' equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Our comprehensive income (loss) for fiscal year 2015 and 2014 included net income (loss), foreign currency translation adjustments, and unrealized gain (loss) on marketable securities available-for-sale, net of income taxes.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. 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 date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rates for the twelve month periods ended September 30, 2016 and September 30 2015, respectively. A summary of the conversion rates for the periods presented is as follows:

	September 30, 2016		September 30, 2015
Period end (RMB: U.S. dollar exchange rate)		6.6717		6.3538
Average fiscal year (RMB: U.S. dollar exchange rate)		6.5343		6.1543

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

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes." ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of our assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, ASC 740 requires an evaluation of the probability that we will generate sufficient taxable income to be able to realize the future benefits indicated by the deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

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

For the periods presented, the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share equaled basic earnings (loss) per share as the inclusion of any dilutive instruments would have had an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings per share calculation in the periods presented.

Operating Leases

Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the leasing company are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease period.

Revenue Recognition

We follow the guidance of ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition," for revenue recognition. In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. When our clients' securities are received for our services, we follow the guidance of ASC 505, "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees" to measure and recognize our revenue. ASC Topic 505-50-30-18 instructs that an entity (grantee or provider) may enter into transactions to provide goods or services in exchange for equity instruments. The grantee shall measure the fair value of the equity instruments in these transactions using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either of the following dates, referred to as the measurement date.

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

We recognize the revenue from the equity securities received from our clients upon completion of the services performed or as otherwise provided for in our agreements with our clients. We use the grant date as the initial measurement date in accordance with ASC 605.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for the grant of stock options, warrants and restricted stock awards in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation". ASC 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation. Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the "measurement date". The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The awards to consultants and other third-parties are then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated, based on the then current fair value, at each subsequent reporting date.

Derivative Liabilities

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

ASC Subtopic 815-40, "Contracts in Entity's Own Equity," requires that entities recognize as derivative liabilities the derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts that are not indexed to an entity's' own stock. Pursuant to the provisions of ASC Section 815-40-15, (formerly FASB Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 07-5: Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock ("EITF 07-5"), an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise and settlement provisions.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings and financial position.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments". The amendments clarify what steps are required when assessing whether the economic characteristics and risks of call (put) options are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of their debt hosts, which is one of the criteria for bifurcating an embedded derivative. Consequently, when a call (put) option is contingently exercisable, an entity does not have to assess whether the event that triggers the ability to exercise a call (put) option is related to interest rates or credit risks. The amendments are effective for Public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities have the option of adopting the new requirements early, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients". The amendments, among other things: (1) clarify the objective of the collectability criterion for applying paragraph 606-10-25-7; (2) permit an entity to exclude amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes from the transaction price; (3) specify that the measurement date for noncash consideration is contract inception; (4) provide a practical expedient that permits an entity to reflect the aggregate effect of all modifications that occur before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations; (5) clarify that a completed contract for purposes of transition is a contract for which all (or substantially all) of the revenue was recognized under legacy GAAP before the date of initial application, and (6) clarify that an entity that retrospectively applies the guidance in Topic 606 to each prior reporting period is not required to disclose the effect of the accounting change for the period of adoption. The effective date of these amendments is at the same date that Topic 606 is effective. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU addresses the classification of certain specific cash flow issues including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of certain debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of certain insurance claims and distributions received from equity method investees. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

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, we have not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

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

All the securities were received from our customers as consulting fees. During the year ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we collected marketable securities originated from accounts receivable for the amount of $1,374 and $22,500, respectively, and we collected marketable securities as deferred revenue for the amount of $61,374 and $22,500, respectively. We categorize the securities as investments in marketable securities available-for-sale or investments in marketable securities available-for-sale-related party. These securities are quoted either on an exchange or on the over the counter market system. Some of the securities are restricted and cannot be readily sold by us absent a registration of those securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") or the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. Our policy is to liquidate the securities on a regular basis. As these securities are often restricted, we are unable to liquidate them until the restriction is removed. Unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities available-for-sale and on marketable securities available-for-sale-related party are recognized on a periodic basis as an element of comprehensive income or loss 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 are reflected in earnings for the period in which the securities were liquidated.

The marketable securities available-for-sale-related party totaled $0 and $20,000 at September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively, and were composed solely of the securities of Dragon Capital Group, Corp. ("Dragon Capital"). Mr. Lisheng (Lawrence) Wang, the CEO and Chairman of the Board of Dragon Capital, is the brother of James (Yuejian) Wang, the CEO of the Company. These securities were issued by Dragon Capital as compensation for consulting services. Dragon Capital is a non-reporting company whose securities are quoted on the OTC Pink Tier of the OTC Markets Group. As such, under Federal securities laws, securities of Dragon Capital generally cannot be resold by us in absence of a registration of those securities under the Securities Act or unless there exists an available exemption from such registration.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 and 2015

Our marketable securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Under the guidance of ASC320, "Investments", we periodically evaluate our marketable securities to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. Management utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, in addition to the reasons underlying the decline, to determine whether the loss in value is other than temporary. The term "other-than-temporary" is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent. It indicates that the prospects for a near term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding impairment charge to earnings is recognized. In this assessment for various securities at September 30, 2016 and 2015, the guidance in ASC 320, "the Investment-Debt and Equity Securities", is carefully followed.

NOTE 8 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

As described in Note 7, the Company defaulted on its loan with TCA which triggered the variable conversion option on the loan. The conversion option embedded in the convertible note contains no explicit limit to the number of shares to be issued upon settlement and as a result is classified as a liability under ASC 815. The Company accounted for the embedded conversion option in accordance with ASC 815-40, which requires the Company to bifurcate the embedded conversion options as liability at the date the note becomes convertible and to record changes in fair value relating to the conversion option liability in the statement of operations and comprehensive income as of each subsequent balance sheet date. The debt discount related to the convertible note is amortized over the life of the note using the effective interest method. The Company's conversion option liabilities are valued using Black-Scholes pricing models. Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility and correlations of such inputs. These consolidated financial liabilities do not trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs cannot generally be verified and do involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are typically classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

On October 15, 2015, the Company and TCA entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which the note was no longer in default. Therefore the note became not convertible as the note is convertible upon default pursuant to the settlement agreement. The fair value of derivative liabilities due to the embedded conversion option was re-measured to be $710,425 on October 15, 2015 and was written off to gain on settlement of convertible note which was included in change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The carrying amounts of the derivative liabilities for the embedded conversion option on the TCA note were $0 and $489,031, respectively, as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015. On October 26, 2015, the Company entered into a master exchange agreement with an institutional investor. Pursuant to the exchange agreement, the institutional investor shall exchange, at its option, $50,000 principal amount of convertible notes of the Company plus any accrued interest for shares of the Company's common stock at $0.0001 par value per share at an exchange price of 57% of the lowest trading price of the Company's common stock during the five consecutive trading day period preceding the exchange date. On December 9, 2015, January 22, 2016 and February 24, 2016, the Company entered into note purchase agreement with an institutional investor to sell $100,000, $100,000 and $125,000 of this TCA loan, respectively. On June 28, 2016, the Company entered into note purchase agreement with the third institutional investor to sell $40,000 of this TCA loan. These notes are convertible at a price of 55% of the lowest trading price of the Company's common stock during 10 consecutive business days prior to the conversion date. During the fiscal year ended on September 30, 2016, a total of $410,100 of loan from TCA, subsequently assigned to three institutional investors, together with accrued interest and other fees of $524, was converted into 1,219,654 shares of the Company's common stock. During the fiscal year ended on September 30, 2016, derivative liability of $1,338,888 was initially created due to the loans assigned to three institutional investors containing variable conversion option and the amount of $2,041,747 was re-measured on the date of conversions and written off to additional paid-in capital as a result of the conversion. The remaining principal of TCA note assigned to institutional investors which is convertible amounted to $4,900 and the fair value of the derivative liabilities related to the embedded conversion option was $11,277 as of September 30, 2016.

As described in Note 7, during the fiscal year ended on September 30, 2016, a total of $440,430 of the $500,000 loan from Yewen Xi with accrued interest of $344, including the amount assigned, was converted into 644,802 shares of the Company's common stock. Derivative liability of $1,023,210 was initially created due to the loans containing variable conversion option and the amounts of $627,707, which were re-measured on the date of the conversions and written off to additional paid-in capital as a result of the conversion, for the year ended September 30, 2016. The remaining principal of Yewen Xi's $500,000 note amounted to $59,570 and the fair value of the derivative liabilities related to the embedded conversion option was $99,353 as of September 30, 2016.

The fair value of derivative liabilities related to the embedded conversion option was initially determined to be $365,816 on the date of issuance and subsequently determined to be $1,292,100 as of September 30, 2016.

The table below shows the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model inputs used by the Company to value the conversion option derivative liability, as well as the determined value of the option liability at each measurement periods during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

	2016		2015
Expected dividend		-%		-%
Expected term (in years)		0.01 - 2.00		0.50
Volatility		170% - 1,499%		131% - 293%
Risk-free rate		0.00% - 0.68%		0.08% - 0.09%

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the fair value of the embedded conversion options determined using Black-Scholes option -pricing model as of the dates the notes became convertible was $5,929,296 and $1,921,700 was recorded as debt discount. The day one loss on derivative liabilities of $4,007,596 was recorded in change in fair value of derivative liabilities. $1,872,493 and $361,452 of debt discount due to embedded conversion option was amortized into interest expense for the fiscal year 2016 and 2015, respectively. The total change in fair value of derivative liabilities related to convertible notes described above amounted to expense of $5,356,292 and $127,579 for the fiscal year 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Warrants and Convertible Preferred Stock

On September 4, 2015, as compensation for services, the Company granted the consultant, Shaoying Wang, a warrant ("warrant A") to purchase 250 shares of the Company's common stock. 250 shares of the Company's warrant became exercisable immediately and the exercise price is fixed at $464. On December 10, 2015, warrant A was exercised and the Company received proceeds of $116,000. Pursuant to the January 14, 2016 amendment to the consulting agreement dated September 4, 2015, the Company granted Shaoying Wang an additional warrant ("warrant C") to purchase 500 shares of the Company's common stock for a fixed exercise price at $64. On February 25, 2016, warrant C was exercised and the Company received proceeds of $32,000. The Company considered derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 "Derivatives and Hedging" and determined that the warrant should be classified as liability as the warrant was tainted due to the indeterminate number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above convertible notes. The Company's derivative liabilities related to warrant A and warrant C are valued using Black Scholes pricing models on the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 167%-255%, risk free rate of 0.49%-0.90%, and an expected term of 1.85-2.33 year.

As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, the carrying amounts of the derivative liabilities for warrant A and warrant C were $0 and $98,870, respectively. The net changes in fair value of derivative liabilities of warrant A and warrant C were income of $0 and $98,870 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company also issued warrants with exercise price subject to adjustment("warrant B") if the Company, at any time while the warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of common stock (and not to the holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock at a price per share less than the VWAP on the record date, then, the exercise price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the common stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of additional shares of common stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the common stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such VWAP. The price reset provision makes the warrant not indexed to the Company's own stock, and therefore requires the warrant to be treated as derivative liabilities as provided in ASC 815.

In addition, the Company issued convertible preferred stock and the conversion price of the preferred stock is subject to adjustment if the Company issues or sells shares of common stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion or exercise price then in effect, or issue options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchangeable for shares of common stock at a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price of the preferred stock then in effect. If either of these events should occur, the conversion price is reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable. These clauses were referred to as the "Anti-Dilution Rights". The Company analyzed and concluded the embedded conversion option is not clearly and closely related to the host contract as the preferred shares are redeemable at the holder's option. The Anti-Dilution Rights of the beneficial conversion feature make the conversion option not indexed to the company's own stock, and therefore requires the conversion feature to be treated as derivative liabilities as provided under ASC 815.

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

As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, the carrying amounts of the derivative liabilities for warrant B were $0 and $18,744, respectively, and the carrying amounts of the derivative liabilities for preferred stock conversion option were $8,506,075 and $2,603,626. The net changes in fair value of derivative liabilities of warrant B and preferred stock during the periods were expense of $5,883,105 and $727,662 during fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Below is the reconciliation of the fair value of the Company's derivative liabilities during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

NOTE 11 - CAPITAL STOCK

Preferred Stock and Related Dividends

Effective March 25, 2016, the Company's total number of shares of preferred stock authorized increased from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 shares, par value $.0001, pursuant to the unanimous approval of the board of directors on March 8, 2016. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, there were 1,006 shares of series A convertible preferred stock outstanding. The series A preferred stock has a stated value per share of $1,000, carries an 8% per annum dividend rate payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 (each a "dividend date"). The dividends can be paid in cash or shares of our common stock, at our option, subject to certain provisions, on each dividend date. The holders are entitled to convert any whole number of preferred shares, plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends per preferred share then remaining into the Company's common stock at the conversion rate which equals to the quotient of (i) the sum of the stated value and additional amount divided by (ii) the conversion price which was initially $7.00. The additional amount is calculated using a formula to represent the accrued but unpaid dividend. The terms of the Series A preferred stock provide that if we sell common stock at a price per share less than the then conversion price of the preferred stock, then we are required to reduce the conversion price of the series A convertible preferred stock to the lower price of the subsequent sale. Since we have issued securities at prices lower than the exercise price of the $7.00 per share conversion price of the series A preferred stock, we reduced the exercise price of those outstanding securities. The embedded conversion option is not clearly and closely related to the host contract as the preferred shares are redeemable at the holder's option. In addition, the conversion price of the preferred stock is subject to adjustment, and therefore requires the conversion feature to be treated as derivative liabilities as provided under ASC 815. See Note 8 for discussion on derivative liabilities.

We are authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.0001. Of the 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock:

1)	12,950 shares have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock ("Series A")

2)	41,524 shares have been designated as Series D Preferred Stock ("Series D")

3)	209,375 shares have been designated as Series E Preferred Stock ("Series E")

4)	1,670,000 shares have been designated as Series G Preferred Stock ("Series G")

As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, Series D, E, and G preferred stock have no shares issued and outstanding and there is 1,006 shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding.

The dividends calculated at $20,130 per quarter are payable in cash or shares of our common stock at our option subject to certain provisions. If paid in shares of common stock, the stock shall be valued at the lower of the conversion price or the average of the weighted average price of the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the dividend date. During fiscal year 2016 and 2015, we did not pay cash dividends, dividends were paid in form of our common stock of 125,000 shares, valued at $32,000 on our series A convertible preferred stock on April 18, 2016. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, accrued dividend payable is $197,270 and $148,749, respectively.

NOTE 13 - INCOME TAXES

Our income (loss) in the U.S. is subject to applicable Federal, State, and Local tax statutes. Our income (loss) in China is subject to taxation in the PRC concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and local income tax laws (the "PRC Income Tax Laws). Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, unless special tax incentives are granted, all enterprises in China are subject to taxation at a statutory rate of 25%. Our income (loss) in Brunei is exempt from Brunei Darussalam income tax.

The components of income (loss) before income taxes for fiscal year 2016 and 2015 consisted of the following:

Description	September 30, 2016			September 30, 2015

U.S. Operations	$	(21,997,885	)	$	(3,317,833	)

We did not incur any income tax expenses from continuing operations for fiscal year 2016 and 2015. In fiscal year 2016, the income from discontinued operations was primarily from the gain on disposal of discontinued operations. However, as the Company received nominal considerations for disposal of subsidiaries, the gain on disposal of discontinued operations did not have any income tax implications.

The significant components of our net deferred tax assets and liabilities consisted of federal net operating loss carry forwards. 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 $25.4 million and $14.5 million against its net deferred taxes is necessary as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Therefore, our net deferred tax asset is zero as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, we had approximately $55.4 million and $41.5 million of U.S. net operating loss carry forwards remaining, which will expire in 2029. The IRS audited the Company's consolidated income tax returns for fiscal year 2008, 2010, and 2011. The IRS has initially proposed an adjustment to the Company's income tax liabilities for a total amount of approximately $4.6 million (approximately $3.1 million in income tax and $1.5 million in penalties) primarily related to transfer pricing issues pursuant to IRC section 482. In May 2013, the case was sent to the Appeals division of the Internal Revenue Service. The Company retained an independent accounting firm that has conducted an independent transfer pricing study, an evaluation of the tax basis value of marketable securities received for services, and an analysis of the allocation of the related costs and expenses associated with such revenues. As a result of such study and as a result of net operating tax loss carry forwards, the management believes that no income tax or penalties would be assessed against us by the IRS.

In April 2016, the Company received a notice of tax assessed by examination from IRS, based on which the Company's additional tax liabilities for fiscal year 2008, 2010 and 2011 remained to be $4.6 million. Additionally, accrued interest and penalties of approximately $1.4 million was imposed as of April 22, 2016. The Company accrued for this liability of $6,011,529. In May 2016, an attorney was retained by the Company to represent before IRS in connection with the outstanding federal income tax liability. On June 6, 2016, the IRS closed the examination of the Company's tax returns for fiscal year 2008, 2010 and 2011. The Company is currently considering filing an offer-in-compromise based on doubt as to collectability. As of the filing date, a reasonable estimate of loss cannot be made by the management as there have been no negotiations with an IRS representative. If the offer is ultimately rejected, the final tax liabilities enforced by IRS could have a material effect on the Company's results of operations and financial position and liquidity.

NOTE 15 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Subsidiaries Disposed

In April 2016, the Company ceased the operation and disposed of Capital Resource Management. The disposal of Capital Resource Management does not qualify as discontinued operations, nor is it a significant disposition because Capital Resource Management had limited net assets and engaged in minimal operations. The loss on disposal of Capital Resource Management was $50,590, for abandoned current assets and fixed assets, was reported as "loss on disposal of subsidiary" for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.

In April 2015, the Company sold its entire 95% equity interest in CDI Jingkun Zinc and 100% equity interest in CDI Metal to Xiaowen Zhuang, a management member and the brother of James (Yuejian) Wang, the CEO of the Company. The Company also sold its 100% equity interest in CDI Jixiang Metal to Dragon Capital, a related party company. As a result, results of operations, financial position and cash flows associated with CDI Jingkun Zinc, CDI Metal and CDI Jixiang Metal are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company also disposed CDII Chile and the Chilean government has granted us approval to officially close down the business on July 31, 2015. As a result, results of operations, financial position and cash flows associated with CDI Chile are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and its assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2014 were reclassified to discontinued assets and liabilities. The Company had a gain on disposal of subsidiaries of $1.6 million in fiscal year 2015. In connection with the disposal, other receivables of CDI Shanghai Management, Capital Resource Management and CDII Minerals in the amount of $475,846, $1,403,967 and $381,159, respectively, from the disposed entities as of the dates of disposals were deemed uncollectable and as a result were written off. The write-off of receivables for total amount of $2,260,972 was included in gain or loss on disposal of subsidiaries.
