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

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

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

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

Business and Organization

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

We are a U.S. based company that sources, produces and distributes industrial products in Asia and the Americas.  We also provide business and financial consulting services to public and private American and Chinese businesses.  We operate in two identifiable segments, as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Segment Reporting”: Mineral Trading and Consulting. We used to name “Mineral Trading segment” as “Basic Materials segment”. Basic Materials segment used to include our subsidiaries, Shanghai Lang Chemical Co., Ltd. ("Lang Chemical") and CDI (Beijing) International Trading Co., Ltd. ("CDI Beijing"). Since we disposed both subsidiaries on September 30, 2012, we switched our focus on mineral trading business in South America, and we renamed our Basic Materials segment to Mineral Trading segment in fiscal year 2014. Beginning in 2006, we established our Consulting and Mineral Trading segments which grew through acquisitions of controlling interests in Chinese private companies. We consolidate these acquisitions as either wholly or majority owned subsidiaries.  

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

On September 30, 2014, the Company signed a share exchange agreement with Yuwei Huang (“Mr. Huang”), a related party, selling our Magnesium segment to Mr. Huang and in return, Mr. Huang and other parties shall return and cancel 8,325,949 shares of the Company’s common stock held by such parties related to Mr. Huang and cancel the right to receive 41,524 convertible series D preferred stock within 10 business days after the share exchange agreement was signed. Historically, the Magnesium segment represented our largest segment by revenues and assets. We produced, sold and distributed pure magnesium ingots, magnesium powder and magnesium alloy. Since 2009, the magnesium spot price had not fully recovered to the pre-2009 level and the current spot price is approximately $2,200 per ton FOB China. Accordingly, we have generated negative gross margins and operating losses, and most of our magnesium facilities ceased production. Due to these losses, in fiscal year 2013 and 2012, the Company decided to impair long-lived assets of the magnesium facilities. Results of operations, financial position and cash flows associated with the Magnesium segment are separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. For additional information, see Note 10 – Discontinued Operations.

For the fiscal year 2014 and 2013, subsidiaries included in continuing operations consisted of the following:

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

Basis of Presentation

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

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conjunction with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), although the Company believes that the disclosures contained in this report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated balance sheet information as of September 30, 2013 was derived from the consolidated audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013, and other reports filed with the SEC.

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

Going Concern

For the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $13.8 million and used cash in operation of $12.7 million. The Company also has a working capital deficit of $43.6 million and its cash and cash equivalents and its revenues are not currently sufficient and cannot be projected to cover operating expenses in the coming year.  These factors raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans include attempting to raise funds through debt and equity financings, restructure on-going operations to eliminate inefficiencies and continue to sell assets to raise cash and meet operating needs. Management intends to make every effort to identify and develop sources of funds.  There is no assurance that management’s plans will be successful.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of consolidated revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments available-for-sale, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the fair value of stock based compensation, the useful life of property, plant and equipment, and the valuation of derivative liability.

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

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

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

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

Concentration of Credit Risks

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, trade accounts receivable and notes receivables. We deposit our cash with high credit quality financial institutions in the United States and China.  As of March 31, 2014, we had no bank deposits in the United States that exceeded federally insured limits.  At March 31, 2014, we had deposits of $20,195 in banks in China. In China, there is no equivalent federal deposit insurance as in the United States, so the amounts held in banks in China are not insured. We have not experienced any losses in such bank accounts through March 31, 2014.

At March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, bank deposits by geographic area were as follows:

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

 - Level 1, meaning the use of quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
 - Level 2, meaning the use of quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable;
 - Level 3, meaning the use of unobservable inputs. Observable market data should be used when available.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, taxes payable, 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 March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013.

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 preferred stock liabilities and derivative warrant 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 March 31, 2014 are as follows:

Marketable Securities

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

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

Foreign Currency Translation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars.  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 three and six months periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  A summary of the conversion rates for the periods presented is as follows:

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

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

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”. The amendments in the ASU change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. It also addresses sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance in U.S. GAAP. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The amendments in the ASU are effective in the first quarter of 2015 for public organizations with calendar year ends. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. This ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets. This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchanged for those goods or services. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2014-98 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in the ASU require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. The amendment in the ASU provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

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

NOTE 2 – LOSS PER SHARE

Under the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the company, subject to anti-dilution limitations.
 
The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF LINGSHI MAGNESIUM AND GOLDEN TRUST MAGNESIUM

On August 29, 2011, the Company entered into two equity transfer agreements to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Golden Trust Magnesium Industry Co., Ltd. (“Golden Trust Magnesium”) and 80% ownership interest in Lingshi Xinghai Magnesium Industry Co., Ltd. (“Lingshi Magnesium”). Subsequently, the Company entered into three supplemental agreements to each of the two equity transfer agreements. Pursuant to the latest supplemental agreements, the aggregate purchase price was $26,395,586, payable as follows:
    
$15,046,676 in cash or in proceeds from repayment of our intercompany loans. As of 9/30/2013, $5,845,079 and $4,909,051 were paid to Golden Trust Magnesium and Lingshi Magnesium, respectively, and the balance of $2,204,430 and $2,088,115 remained unpaid to Golden Trust Magnesium and Lingshi Magnesium, respectively;
$6,652,825 in 7,032,583 shares of our common stock paid within 15 business days following the closing of the acquisitions, among which $4,320,436 was paid to Golden Trust Magnesium and $2,332,389 was paid to Lingshi Magnesium in fiscal year 2012;
$4,696,085 to Lingshi Magnesium by way of assignment of our interest in our former subsidiary Excel Rise Technology Co. Ltd. The amount was paid in full upon the close of the acquisition.

Golden Trust Magnesium owns and operates a pure magnesium ingot production facility located on approximately 502,000 square feet of land in Xiaoyi City, Shanxi Province, China, capable of producing up to 20,000 metric tons of pure magnesium per year. Lingshi Magnesium owns and operates a pure magnesium ingot production facility located on approximately 902,000 square feet of land in Jin Zhong City, Shanxi Province, China, capable of producing up to 12,000 metric tons of pure magnesium per year. Both Golden Trust Magnesium and Lingshi Magnesium were related parties before the acquisitions as they were legally represented by an officer of Taiyuan Changxin Magnesium Co., Ltd. (“Chang Magnesium”). Also see Note 7.

Under applicable PRC law, the acquisition of the equity interest in Golden Trust Magnesium and Lingshi Magnesium must be approved by appropriate foreign investment approval authority, and then registered with a competent branch of the State Administration of Industry and Commerce. Failure to obtain these necessary approvals may delay the transfer of the ownership to the Company.

The Company completed the acquisition of Lingshi Magnesium on August 12, 2013 and the acquisition of Golden Trust Magnesium on March 7, 2014. As a result, the common stock issued for the two acquisitions were revalued using the market prices on the dates when the ownership was transferred, and the fair value of the 7,032,583 shares of common stock issued for acquisitions of Lingshi Magnesium and Golden Trust Magnesium was determined to be $464,982.

However, when the Company was in the process of obtaining the approval and completing registration, due to the inability to operate economically, Lingshi Magnesium had ceased production and the production of Golden Trust Magnesium had decreased to approximately 40% of its normal capacity. In addition, the two entities incurred losses in the operations. Based on these indicators, the Company decided to impair all of payments made for the above acquisitions and recorded the impairment on prepayment for acquisitions which amounted to $11,944,594 in fiscal year 2012.

Since the Company recorded the impairment on investments in acquisitions mentioned above, the considerations paid for the acquisitions were written down to zero. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by CD International on the date of the acquisition of Lingshi Magnesium and Golden Trust Magnesium:

Due to the low production level and recurring losses of Golden Trust Magnesium, the goodwill related to acquisition of $594,172 was fully impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2014. As Lingshi Magnesium ceased production before we completed the acquisition, the goodwill related to acquisition of $562,110 was fully impaired as of September 30, 2013. In connection with the acquisition of Golden Trust Magnesium, the related party payable balance to Golden Trust Magnesium in the amount of $1,247,642 as of September 30, 2013 was reclassified to intercompany balance.

All the securities were received from our clients as consulting fees. During the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we collected marketable securities originated from accounts receivable for the amount of $126,600 and $121,881, separately, and we collected marketable securities originated from deferred revenue for amount of $295,000 and $130,000 respectively. We categorize the securities as investments in marketable securities available-for-sale or investments in marketable securities available-for-sale-related parties.  These securities are quoted either on an exchange or on the over the counter market system.  Some of the securities are restricted and cannot be readily sold by us absent a registration of those securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.  Our policy is to liquidate the securities on a regular basis.  As these securities are often restricted, we are unable to liquidate them until the restriction is removed.  Unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities available-for-sale and on marketable securities available-for-sale-related party are recognized on a periodic basis as an element of comprehensive income based on changes in the fair value of the security.  Once liquidated, realized gains or losses on the sale of marketable securities available-for-sale and marketable securities available-for-sale-related party are reflected in our net income for the period in which the security was liquidated.

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 March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the guidance in ASC 320, “the Investment-Debt and Equity Securities”, is carefully followed. In accordance with ASC 320-10-35-33, when an entity has decided to sell an impaired available-for-sale security and the entity does not expect the fair value of the security to fully recover before the expected time of sale, the security shall be deemed other-than-temporarily impaired in the period in which the decision to sell is made. However, an entity shall recognize an impairment loss when the impairment is deemed other than temporary impairment even if a decision to sell has not been made.
 
For the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we had no loss related to other than temporary impairment.  

Marketable securities available-for-sale and marketable securities available-for-sale-related party are either valued at the date received or at the date when services are rendered. The table below provides a summary of the changes in the fair of marketable securities for six months ended March 31, 2014:

NOTE 5 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

NOTE 8 – CAPITAL STOCK

Preferred Stock and Related Dividends

As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, there were 1,006 shares of series A convertible preferred stock outstanding. The series A preferred stock has a stated value per share of $1,000, carries an 8% per annum dividend rate payable quarterly in arrears and was initially convertible into our common stock at $7.00 per share. The dividends are payable in cash or shares of our common stock, at our option, subject to certain provisions. The terms of the Series A preferred stock provide that if we sell common stock at a price per share less than the then conversion price of the preferred stock, then we are required to reduce the conversion price of the series A convertible preferred stock to the lower price of the subsequent sale. Since we have issued securities at prices lower than the exercise price of the $7.00 per share conversion price of the series A preferred, we reduced the exercise price of those outstanding securities. At March 31, 2014, the conversion price of the series A preferred is $0.05.

March 31, 2014


The dividends calculated at $20,130 per quarter are payable in cash or shares of our common stock at our option subject to certain provisions. If paid in shares of common stock, the stock shall be valued at the lower of the conversion price or the average of the weighted average price of the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the dividend date. During the six months ended March 31, 2014, we paid $26,260 of dividends in cash. During the six months ended March 31, 2013, we paid $40,260 in the form of 265,785 shares of our common stock on our series A convertible preferred stock. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, accrued dividend payable is $41,125 and $27,125, respectively.

Derivative liabilities

The conversion price of the preferred stock is subject to adjustment if we issue or sell shares of our 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 our 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. We refer to these clauses as the “Anti-Dilution Rights”. The Anti-Dilution Rights of the beneficial conversion feature make the conversion option not indexed to the company’s own stock, and therefore requires the conversion feature to be treated as derivative liabilities as provided under EITF 07-05. The Company used maximum value method to determine the fair value of derivative liabilities related to preferred stock conversion option.

As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the carrying amounts of the derivative liabilities for preferred stock conversion option were $2,249,526 and 1,398,253, respectively. The net changes in fair value during the period included in change of fair value of derivative liability were income of $340,194 and loss of $851,273 during the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, and income of $22,137 and $213,548 during the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Income Tax Matters

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

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

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

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

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

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

NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 30, 2014, we closed a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP (“TCA”), a Cayman Islands limited partnership, which had an effective date of July 30, 2014. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, TCA agreed to loan us up to a maximum of $5 million for working capital purposes. The initial credit line is $2,000,000 subject to funding in the discretion of TCA. In connection with the closing, an initial take down of $650,000 was funded by TCA. Any increase in the amount of the credit line from the initial amount up to the maximum amount is at the discretion of TCA.

The amounts borrowed pursuant to the Credit Agreement are evidenced by a Revolving Note (the “Revolving Note”) and the repayment of the Revolving Note is secured by a first position security interest in substantially all of our assets in favor of TCA as evidenced by a security agreement. The loan is additionally secured by the pledge of the stock of the Company’s operating subsidiaries. The initial Revolving Note in the amount of $650,000 is due and payable along with interest thereon on January 31, 2015, and bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. TCA will collect in reserve an amount which is held in a lock box account equal to 20% of the revolving loan commitment on such date.

TCA may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other sums due and payable under the Revolving Note into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such applicable conversion date, in each case subject to TCA not being able to beneficially own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock upon any conversion.

We have the right to prepay the Revolving Note, in whole or in part. If we prepay the Revolving Note in excess of 80% of the principal within 90 to 180 days prior to the maturity date of the note, we are obligated to pay TCA an amount for liquidated damages and for the costs of being prepared to make funds available under the Credit Agreement equal to 2.5% of the outstanding Revolving Note Commitment.

An event of default under the Credit Agreement as described in that agreement includes (i) any non-payment of the obligations, (ii) material misrepresentations by us in the Credit Agreement or any related document, (iii) a default by us of our obligations under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other related agreement, (iv) a default by us under any other obligation, (v) a bankruptcy of our company or other assignment for the benefit of creditors, (vi) a judgment against us in excess of a specified amount, (vii) the occurrence of a “Material Adverse Effect” as described in the Credit Agreement, (vii) a change of control of our company, (viii) an impairment of any of the collateral we have pledged, (ix) a material adverse change in our financial condition or value of the collateral, or (x) a determination by TCA that the prospect for the repayment by us of the obligation is impaired. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement or the Revolving Note, all amounts become immediately due and payable.
 
We also agreed to pay TCA various fees during the term of the Credit Agreement, including (i) a commitment fee at closing of the 2% of the initial credit line commitment, (ii) an advisory fee of $100,000, payable in eight monthly installments starting December 31, 2014; (iii) facility fees consisting of our common stock equal to the $175,000; and (iv) asset monitoring and due diligence fees. In total, we paid $50,010 in cash fees, expenses and closing costs in connection with the closing and as such, netted $599,990 in connection with the closing. We also provided TCA with certain make whole rights with regard to our common stock used as fees or upon conversion of the convertible promissory notes.

During the term of the Credit Agreement, we are prohibited from (i) incurring any indebtedness, other than in connection with the Credit Agreement or as otherwise approved by TCA, (ii) making any new investments, (iii) creating any encumbrances on our assets, (iv) making any capital expenditures not in the ordinary course of business or without TCA’s prior consent, (v) permitting a change in control of our company, (vi) repurchase or redeeming any shares, or making any distributions, (vii) affecting any transactions with our affiliates or increasing the salary of our officers, and (vii) certain other actions as described in greater detail in the Credit Agreement.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other information presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 15, 2015 and with the consolidated financial statements and other information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW OF OUR OPERATIONS

Our Business

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

We currently operate our business in two segments. Mineral Trading segment and Consulting segment. We used to name “Mineral Trading segment” as “Basic Materials segment”. Basic Materials segment used to include our subsidiaries, Lang Chemical and CDI Beijing. Since we disposed both subsidiaries on September 30, 2012, we switched the focus to mineral trading business in South America, and we renamed our Basic Materials segment to Mineral Trading segment in fiscal year 2014. Our Mineral Trading segment sources and distributes industrial commodities, and our Consulting segment provides business and management consulting services to American and Chinese companies that operate primarily in China and the Americas.
 
Our Mineral Trading segment engages in the source and distribution of the global purchase and sale of industrial commodities in the Americas, which include mineral ores and non-ferrous metals. We have realigned our investments to our industrial commodities business in the Americas to maximize our profits and cash flow over the past fiscal year of 2013. We have focused on the South American market and have established offices in Chile, Peru and Bolivia, but the operation costs were very high and, given the continuing drop of the iron ore market price, we closed offices in Bolivia and Peru on September 30, 2014.

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

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

According to Ministry of Commerce of China, in 2013, China’s import and export totaled $4,160 billion with a year-on-year growth of 7.6%. China’s export was $2,210 billion, and its import was $2,000 billion, up by 7.9% and 7.3% respectively, with trade surplus of $259.75 billion. In December 2013, China’s import and export totaled $389.84 billion with a year-on-year growth of 6.2%. China’s export was $207.74 billion, up by 4.3%, and its import was $182.10 billion, up by 8.3%, with trade surplus of $25.64 billion. In the first quarter of 2014, China’s import and export totaled US$ 965.88 billion, down 1.0% year-on-year. Export was US$ 491.31 billion, down 3.4% year-on-year, and import was US$ 474.57 billion, up 1.6%, with trade surplus of US$ 16.74 billion, down 59.7%. In March 2014, China’s import and export totaled US$ 332.51 billion, down 9.0% year-on year. Export was US$ 170.11 billion, down 6.6%, and import was US$ 162.40 billion, down 11.3%, with trade surplus of US$ 7.71 billion. According to Ministry of Commerce of China, in 2014 , China’s import and export totaled $4,328 billion (26,400 billion RMB), with a year-on-year growth of 2.3%.  China’s export was $2,359 billion (14,391 billion RMB), up by 4.9% and its import was $2,974 billion (12,042 billion RMB), decreased by 0.9%, with trade surplus of $385 billion (2,349 billion RMB).

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

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

As a result of the substantial economic slowdown and lack of new sales in the domestic market in China for our specialty chemicals and steel related products, we disposed of the two main subsidiaries in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, which have negatively impacted this segment over fiscal year 2012, namely Lang Chemical and CDI Beijing, as previously discussed, and have further realigned our capital investment in these businesses toward our industrial commodities and distribution business in the Americas in order to maximize our revenues, gross profit, and cash flow in this segment in fiscal year 2013 and in future years.

Due to surplus of Iron Ore in Chinese ports, the shutdown of many steel mills in China for environmental reasons, and with an overall lower performing GDP and performance of the Chinese economy, the iron ore price has dropped substantially in the past quarter. Likewise, the major global Iron Ore producers have opened up new mining sites and expect to increase deliveries throughout 2015, creating more supply in a market that requires less demand. We expect the copper market to be steady in 2015, due to production is generally seen as keeping pace with exceeding demand and inventories of a number of commodities are not low enough to bolster prices. Manganese Ore prices have been stable over the last quarter, creating a solid market for exporters, and we expect market will be stable in 2015.

Consulting Segment.

We believe demand for our consulting services will slightly improve in fiscal 2015. Since 2011, we launched a marketing initiative for our new One-Stop China Value™ program in an effort to capitalize on the current environment. This program is designed to implement a broad range of strategies to enhance and maximize shareholder value for China-based U.S. public companies. Other marketing plans include sponsoring trade symposiums, investment forums, and forming strategic alliances with industry and trade associations. We have formed a strategic alliance with Aegea Inc. to develop Immigrant Investor Program, which is known as the EB-5 program (Employment Based Visa-Category 5). EB-5 sets a minimum investment of $500,000 and foreign investors must be able to prove that their money has created at least 10 jobs for U.S. citizens. In return, the foreign investors get U.S. permanent residence (the “green cards”). Since its inception in 1990, the EB-5 program has generated approximately $6.8 billion in foreign investments in American companies and created at least 50,000 American Jobs. Chinese investors account for an overwhelming 80% of the total EB-5 investment, while South Korea, Taiwan, Mexico and Venezuela make up a large chunk of the rest.

GOING CONCERN

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. The report of our independent registered accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2013 contained a qualification as to our ability to continue as a going concern. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, we reported a net loss of approximately $13.8 million and cash used in operating activities of $12.7 million, respectively. At March 31, 2014 we had a working capital deficit of $43.6 million and our revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 declined by approximately 26% and 30%, respectively, from the comparable periods in fiscal year 2013. These, among other issues, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. 
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, subsidiaries included in continuing operations consisted of the following:
 
·             CDI China, Inc.
·             International Magnesium Group, Inc.
·             CDII Minerals, Inc.
·             CDII Chile, Ltda.
·             CDII Minerals de Peru SAC

Accordingly, we have generated negative gross margins and operating losses, and most of our magnesium facilities ceased production. Results of operations, financial position and cash flows associated with Magnesium segment are separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Revenues

Revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by 26%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily due to the decreased revenue of approximately $425,000 generated from our Mineral Trading segment, offset by an increase of approximately $233,000 in revenue generated from our consulting segment for provide consulting service to our clients in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Revenue in the six months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by 30%, as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2013, also primarily due to a decrease of approximately $600,000 in revenues generated from our Mineral Trading segment, offset by an increase of approximately $212,000 in revenue generated from our consulting segment during the comparable periods in fiscal year 2013.

Our Mineral Trading segment generated approximately $225,000 and $463,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, decreased by 65% and 56%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2013, primarily due to revenues decreased in our business in South America. We closed the business in Mexico operations after we finally sold the 11,000 metric tons of iron ore held in Mexico, priced at $233,000, to a local Mexican company due to that we could not receive the environmental permits and necessary export approvals in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Our operations in Chile experienced shipping delays due to a longer than expected timeframe to receive port authority approval to export the iron ore. In South America, we established new relationships with a supplier and are working with an engineering specialist to further strengthen our sourcing capabilities and a logistics provider to meet our inland transportation needs. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, CDII Minerals signed a purchase order with China-Base Ninbo Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. (“China Base”). China Base is a trading company located in Ningbo, China. Based on this agreement, China Base agreed to buy approximately 2,000 metric tons of iron ore from CDII Bolivia. CDII Minerals accomplished and fulfilled the contract with China- Base Ningbo Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. in March 2014.

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 $317,000 and $459,000 in revenues during the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $84,000 and $246,000 during the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, primarily due to marketable securities received for services provided to new clients during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Gross Profit

Our consolidated gross profit in the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by 102% and 15%, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2013. Our consolidated gross deficit was 1% and gross margin was 26% in the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the gross profit margin of 43% and 22% during the three and six months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to higher cost of goods sold and decrease in gross profit within both our Consulting segment and Mineral Trading segment.

Gross deficit in our Mineral Trading segment for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 was $242,000 and $136,000 with a negative margin of 108% and 29%, as compared to gross profit of $397,000 and $423,000 with a margin of 61% and 40% during the three months ended March 31, 2013, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to low sales price and less quantity of iron ores sold in South America during the three and six months ended March 31, 2014. The lower gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily due to the delivery of a total of 21,430 metric tons of iron ore produced in Mexico at low price to local buyers. Accordingly, our gross margin will fluctuate if we change the relationship with our customers or vendors and fail to meet the criteria for revenue recognition, pursuant to our revenue recognition policy. Currently, we are unable to quantify this future fluctuation in gross margins.

Gross profit in our Consulting segment for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $234,000 and $376,000, respectively, with margins of 74% and 82%, as compared to a gross deficit of $80,000 and $140,000 with a negative margin of 95% and 57% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to lower costs generated by the consulting service rendered to our clients.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses, net of other operating income, increased by approximately $235,000 and $258,000, or 25% and 13%, respectively, in the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to same period in fiscal year 2013. The increase was primarily due to a higher operational expense in our developing business in South America in our Mineral Trading segments, offset by slightly lower general and administrative expenses in the Consulting segment in the three and six months ended at March 31, 2014, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2013.
 

 
- 26 -

 
 


General and administrative expenses in our Consulting segment for the six months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by approximately $284,000, or 15% as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2013, primarily due to the expiration of our employment contract with several senior executives and the reduction of our spending on travel expenses incurred in serving our client base for both our U.S. headquarters and China-based operations. As compared with the six months ended March 31, 2014 to the same period of fiscal year 2013, we had a decrease of approximately $209,000 in employee compensation and payroll, a decrease of $73,000 in rents, a decrease of $57,000 in legal fee, a decrease of $64,000 in impairment expense, and a decrease of $24,000 in depreciation expense, which were offset by an increase of $75,000 consulting service fee, and an increase of $68,000 on public and investor relation fees.

General and administrative expenses in our Mineral Trading segment for the six months ended March 31, 2014 increased by approximately $542,000, or 423% as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2013, primarily due to the increased set up fees including traveling expenses, office rents, employee and consulting expenses in Chile and Bolivia offices in the six months ended March 31, 2014.

Other Income and Expenses

In the three months ended March 31, 2014, other income was approximately $312,000 as compared to other expense of $6.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. In the six months ended March 31, 2014, other expense was approximately $702,000 as compared to $6.8 million in the six months ended March 31, 2013. Comparing to the six months ended March 31, 2013, we have a decrease of approximately $1.1 million in fair market value of derivative liability related to our preferred stock, and a decrease of approximately $7.6 million for loss on revaluation of receivable and payable of marketable securities available-for-sale for the six months ended at March 31, 2014.

Income Taxes

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

Net Loss from Continuing Operations
 
Net loss from continuing operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 amounted to $862,000 and $2.7 million, respectively, as compared to net loss of $6.5 million and $8.6 million for the three and six months ended at March 31, 2013. The loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted of approximately $1.2 million operating expenses and approximately $312,000 other income. The loss for the six months ended March 31, 2014 primarily consisted of approximately $2.0 million operating expenses and approximately $702,000 other expenses.

Discontinued Operations

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we discontinued the operations of Ruiming Magnesium, IMTC, Asia Magnesium, Baotou Changxin Magnesium, Chang Magnesium and Chang Trading, which were part of our Magnesium segment and also took an impairment charge for Chang Magnesium. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2012, we discontinued our operations of CDI Jingkun Zinc and CDI Jixiang Metal which was part of our Mineral Trading segment. The loss from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 amounted to approximately $1.7 million and $11.1 million, respectively, as compared to a loss of $2.3 million and $4.2 million from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013.

Net loss

Net loss for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 amounted to $2.6 million and $13.8 million, as compared to net loss of approximately $8.9 million and $12.7 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, primarily due to a decrease of $516,000 and an increase of $6.9 million in losses from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014.

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 March 31, 2014 we had a working capital deficit of $43.6 million, as compared to $30.3 million as of September 30, 2013. 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. In addition to funds necessary to pay our operating expenses and satisfy our obligations as they become due, during the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, we required sufficient funds to satisfy obligations including $1.0 million in loans which are currently past due and $337,000 owed to related parties. We do not have the funds necessary to satisfy any of these obligations. Our Mineral Trading segments have operating losses, and revenues from our Consulting segment vary greatly from period to period. Our Consulting segment generally receives full payment in advance for consulting services to be provided over the term of the contract, primarily in the form of our client companies’ common stock. For transactions in which we advise a new client company on entering into the U.S. public market for the first time, it may take some additional time for us to receive our transaction fees due to the necessary compliance and regulatory filing process, and it is possible that at such time, if ever, when we are able to sell the securities we receive as compensation, the funds we receive upon the sale will be equal to the amount of revenue we initially recognized.  In addition, revenues from this segment do not provide cash to pay costs or operating expenses until we are able to liquidate those securities, on which there are no assurances.  As a result of the working capital deficit and the operating losses incurred, our cash flow from operations is not sufficient to sustain our operations and satisfy our obligations as they become due.

Our cash balance as of March 31, 2014 amounted to approximately $121,000, a decrease of $65,000, as compared to September 30, 2013. During the six months ended March 31, 2014, we had cash outflow of $12.7 million used in operating activities, including $631,000 used in continued operating activities and $12.1 million used in discontinued operations. We also had inflows from financial activities of $400,000 in loans we borrowed from third parties, coupled with $105,000 proceeds from exercise of options. Cash provided by investing activities totaled $168,000, which resulted from net cash proceeds on sale of marketable securities available-for-sale.

Our marketable securities available-for-sale as of March 31, 2014 totaled approximately $494,000, an increase of $387,000 as compared to September 30, 2013. We received marketable securities for services provided to clients in our Consulting segment during the six months ended March 31, 2014.

Our accounts receivable as of March 31, 2014 amounted to $96,000, a decrease of $69,000 as compared to September 30, 2013, primarily due to the decrease of fair market value on accounts receivable from marketable securities available-for-sale.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of prepayments to vendors for services and inventory, other receivables, loans receivable, VAT tax refunds, and security deposits. Prepaid expenses and other current assets as of March 31, 2014 amounted to $1.6 million, a decrease of $1.0 million as compared to September 30, 2013, primarily due to collection of proceeds from disposal of subsidiaries and $670,947 was reclassified from current assets to long-term assets on March 31, 2014.

Assets of discontinued operations on March 31, 2014 amounted to $8.5 million, a decrease of $241,000 as compared to September 30, 2013, primarily due to a decrease of $3.8 million in related party transactions of account receivables, loan receivables and other receivables, a decreased of $637,000 in inventories, and a decreased of $69,000 in fixed assets and intangible assets, offset by an increase of $3.7 million in accounts receivables in discontinued operations, and an increase of $279,000 in prepaid expenses and other current assets in discontinued operations.

Short-term loans at March 31, 2014 included $1.0 million owed under secured promissory notes bearing interest at the rate of 1% per month, which is currently in default. Short-term loans at March 31, 2014 also include $200,000 of loan from Bin Zuo bearing semi-annual interest at 18%, which is due in April 2014. Short-term loans at March 31, 2014 also include $200,000 of loan from Draco Resources, Inc. bearing annual interest at 2%, which is due March 18, 2015, and $72,125 of loan from Marc Siegel, bearing no interest, which is currently in default.

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 March 31, 2014 amounted to $620,000, a decrease of $532,000 as compared to September 30, 2013, primarily due to decreased travel and other general and administration expenses.

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 March 31, 2014 amounted to $382,000 which increased by 100%, as compared to September 30, 2013, primarily due to an increase in advances from customers within our Mineral Trading segment for sales contract of iron ore in South America.

Liabilities of discontinued operations at March 31, 2014 amounted to $48.2 million, an increase of $9.9 million as compared to September 30, 2013, primarily due to an increase of $1.3 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses, an increase of $9.0 million in accounts and other payables of related parties, and an increase of $5.8 million in other liabilities, offset by a decrease of $6.5 million in advance from customers in discontinued operations.

Certain events may have a negative impact on our liquidity position during fiscal year 2014:

 Our short term loans of $1.0 million matured by February 28, 2013, and are currently in default. While we intend to extend the maturity date for these loans, we have not entered into any agreements with the lenders for such extension.  In the event we are unable to extend the term of these loans, or we are unable to repay these obligations when due, we may have to seek additional financing, and no assurances can be given that such financing would be available on a timely basis, on terms that are acceptable or at all. Failure to meet the repayment or other obligations of our existing debt on or before its due date could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and threaten our financial viability.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Related Dividends

As of March 31, 2014, 1,006 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock remained outstanding. During the first six months in fiscal year 2014, we paid $26,260 of accrued ordinary dividends in cash on our Series A convertible preferred stock. During the first six months in fiscal year 2013, we paid dividends of $40,260 in the form of 265,785 shares of our common stock.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ITEMS

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

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

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

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

Revenue Recognition

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

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014 include valuation of marketable securities available-for-sale, allowance for doubtful accounts, write-down in value of inventory, 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 the least on an annual basis to determine if and when such unrealized (loss) has become other than temporarily impaired, and reclassify it as a realized (loss) into our current period’s net income/(loss). This determination is based on a number of factors, including but not limited to (i) the percentage of the decline, (ii) the severity of the decline in relation to the enterprise/market conditions, and (iii) the duration of the decline.

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

Comprehensive income

We follow ASC 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements,” and ASC 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” to recognize the elements of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive income for the fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2013 included net income, foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of income taxes, and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities available-for-sale - related party, net of income taxes.

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, we periodically review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the differences between the discounted future cash flow or estimated fair value and the book value of the underlying asset.

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.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

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

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

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

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

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

Through our increased awareness and remediation efforts, we believe that our actions will result in an improvement in our internal control over financial reporting in fiscal 2015. Specifically, we will plan initiating a corporate-wide ERP implementation, conduct ongoing US GAAP trainings, and through our internal reviews and improved control procedures, we will identify certain prior accounting errors and make appropriate error corrections and disclosures, to prevent potential future material misstatements. In addition, we plan to make improvement throughout fiscal 2015 to achieve our overall remediation target and objectives. Management believes that the actions described above will remediate the remaining significant deficiencies we have identified in fiscal 2015. As we work towards improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and implement the remediation measures, we may supplement or modify these remediation measures as appropriate.
 
Our management believes that our disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance of achieving their objections. Our management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal financial controls will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first six months of fiscal 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 3.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
Our wholly owned subsidiaries, China Direct Investments, Inc. (“China Direct”) and Capital Resource Management Co., Ltd. (“Capital Resource”), and our Company are involved in the following litigation with a shareholder of Linkwell Corporation, Ltd. (“Plaintiff”):

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

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

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

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