In April 2005, WFE and FIH transferred their interests in WFM to the Company at cost. No gain or loss was recognized, as the transfer was accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control as WFE, FIH and FMH are all controlled by the same individual, Mr. Li Feilie.

 

 

 

The Company’s operations are conducted through WFM, a mining enterprise principally engaged in the mining of zinc, iron activated bleaching earth, metallurgy bentonite and other minerals for distribution in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). In early 2004, WFM sold its mining business in activated bleaching earth and metallurgy bentonite to Wuhu Feishang Non-Metal Material Co. Ltd. (“WFNM”), a related party, for consideration of RMB8,050 (US$996). WFM owns the mining rights to two mines: Yang-chong Mine contains iron and zinc minerals and Zao-yun Mine contains mainly iron minerals. The cash flows and profitability of WFM’s current operations are significantly affected by the market price of zinc and iron. These commodity prices can fluctuate widely and are affected by factors beyond WFM’s control.

 

 

 

The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005, the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, and the consolidated statement of equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all such periods have been made.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

 

(a)

Accounting principles

 

 

 

 

 

The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

 

 

 

(b)

Use of estimates

 

 

 

 

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

 

 

(c)

Cash and cash equivalents

 

 

 

 

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments and cash deposits with financial institutions with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

 

 

 

(d)

Inventories

 

 

 

 

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. For products, we determine net realizable value by estimating value based on current metals prices, less cost to convert stockpiled and in-process inventories to finished products. Major types of inventories include:

 

 

 

 

 

Raw materials consists of raw ore extracted and auxiliary material – costs are limited to those directly related to mining

 

 

 

 

 

Work in progress consists of semi-finished iron and zinc ore – valued at the cost of production through the point at which inventory has been processed

 

 

 

 

 

Finished goods – valued at the lower of full cost of production or net realizable value based on current metal prices

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

 

 

 

(e)

Property and equipment

 

 

 

 

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

 

 

 

 

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.

 

 

 

 

 

In April 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 141-1 and FAS 142-1 “Interaction of FASB Statements No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 04-2, “Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 and requires mineral rights to be accounted for as tangible assets based on the consensus reached in EITF 04-2.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company has determined that its mining rights are mineral rights, and accordingly are classified as property and equipment.

 

 

 

 

 

Mining rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment losses. The mining rights are amortized based on actual units of production over the proven and probable reserves of the mines, not to exceed 20 years. The weighted average amortization period for these reserves is 17 years as of September 30, 2005. Reserves designated as proven and probable are supported by a study indicating that the reserves have had the requisite geological, technical and economic work performed, and are legally extractable at the time of reserve determination. The Company’s rights to extract minerals are contractually limited by time. However, the Company believes that it will be able to extend licenses, as it has in the past, without incurring substantial costs, and therefore, believes that assigned lives are appropriate. All costs, other than acquisition costs, are expensed prior to the establishment of proven and probable reserves. Once proven and probable reserves are established, all development and other site specific costs are capitalized, including general and administrative charges for actual time and expenses incurred in connection with site supervision.

 

 

 

 

 

Estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

Buildings and mine development

15 - 35 years

 

 

Machinery and equipment

  6 - 15 years

 

 

Motor vehicles

         8 years

 

 

Mining rights

       17 years

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

 

 

 

(e)

Property and equipment (continued)

 

 

 

 

 

Management assesses the carrying values of its long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances warrant such a review. Generally, long-lived assets are considered impaired if the estimated fair value is less than the assets’ carrying values. If an impairment is indicated, the loss is measured based on the amounts by which the carrying values of the assets exceed their fair values.

 

 

 

 

(f)

Revenue recognition

 

 

 

 

 

Revenue from product sales is recognized when title passes to the customer in accordance with the sales agreement, generally upon product acceptance by the customer.

 

 

 

 

 

Freight and handling costs paid to third party carriers are recorded as cost of sales.

 

 

 

 

(g)

Income taxes

 

 

 

 

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

 

 

 

(h)

Foreign currency translation

 

 

 

 

 

The functional currency of all the operations of the Company is the Renminbi (“RMB”), the national currency of the PRC.

 

 

 

 

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the RMB are translated into RMBs at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies have been translated into RMBs at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange gains or losses are credited or charged to the consolidated statements of operations.

 

 

 

 

 

The financial statements are stated in RMB. The translation of amounts from RMB into US$ is included solely for the convenience of the reader and has been made at the rate of exchange quoted by the People’s Bank of China on September 30, 2005 of US$1.00 = RMB8.08 (unaudited). No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at that rate on September 30, 2005 or at any other date.

 

 

 

 

(i)

Interest income

 

 

 

 

 

Interest on bank balances is recorded when earned.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

 

 

 

(j)

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

 

 

 

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (R) “Share Based Payment” which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123 (R) eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB No. 25, and generally requires instead that such transactions be accounted and recognized in the statement of income based on their fair values. SFAS No. 123 (R) will be effective for public companies that file as small business issuers as of the first interim period in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2005. The Company is evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R). Depending upon the numbers and terms of options that may be granted in future periods, the implementation of this standard could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

 

 

 

 

In March 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF 04-6, “Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred during Production in the Mining Industry”. EITF 04-6 requires that stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine should be included in the cost of inventory produced during the period the stripping costs are incurred. EITF 04-6 is effective for the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, with initial adoption being accounted for in a manner similar to a cumulative-effect adjustment. Management is assessing the impact that the adoption of EITF 04-6 will have on its financial statements.

 

 

 

3.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

 

 

Pursuant to a January 1, 2004 agreement, WFM disposed of its interest in the mining of activated bleaching earth operations to a related party, Wuhu Feishang Non-Metal Material Co. Ltd. (“WFNM”) for total consideration of RMB8,050 (US$972), which has been included as an amount due from a related company at September 30, 2005. Inventories of the bleaching earth segment with a carrying value of RMB796 (US$96) were not sold to WFNM and were sold by WFM to unrelated third parties in 2004. The sale price of the bleaching earth segment equaled its carrying value and accordingly there was no gain or loss on the sale. As a result of the disposition, WFM has ceased its activated bleaching earth operations. The results of the activated bleaching earth segment have been retroactively restated as discontinued operations. Revenues from the discontinued activated bleaching earth segment were RMB808 (US$98) and nil, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005. Income before income taxes from the discontinued activated bleaching earth segment was RMB12 (US$1) and nil, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005. Cash flows from discontinued operations of RMB886 (US$830) are from operating activities. There were no cash flows from discontinued operations from investing or financing activities.

CONCENTRATION OF RISK

 

 

 

 

Concentration of credit risk:

 

 

 

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits, trade receivables and bills receivable.

 

 

 

 

(i)

Cash and cash deposits

 

 

 

 

 

The Group maintains its cash and cash deposits primarily with various PRC State-owned banks. The Group performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions.

 

 

 

 

(ii)

Trade receivables

 

 

 

 

 

The Group ells zinc and iron products to companies in the PRC. Management considers that the Group’s current customers are generally creditworthy and credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customers’ financial conditions and, therefore, generally collateral is not required. At September 30, 2005, the largest five customers accounted for 84% trade receivables. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, three customers accounted 45%, 24% and 10%, respectively, of the Company’s sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, three customers accounted 61%, 13% and 10%, respectively, of the Company’s sales.

 

 

 

 

(iii)

Bills receivable

 

 

 

 

 

Bills receivable represent letters of credit obtained by the customers of the Group to finance purchases which have been presented to banks for payment after delivery of goods to customers. As of September 30, 2005, bills receivable amounted to RMB550 and their collectability was guaranteed by banks. The bills receivable have normal terms of maturity of six months.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

 

 

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Group in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

 

 

 

(i)

Cash and cash equivalents

 

 

 

 

 

The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.

 

 

 

 

(ii)

Trade receivables, bills receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and other payables

 

 

 

 

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for trade receivables, bills receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and other payables approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

 

 

 

 

(iii)   

Amounts due from/to related parties

 

 

 

 

 

The fair values of amounts due from/to the related parties cannot be determined due to the related party nature of those balances.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE

 

 

 

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies.

 

 

 

From January 1, 1994 through July 2, 2005, a single rate of exchange was quoted daily by the People’s Bank of China (the “Unified Exchange Rate”). Beginning July 23, 2005, the rate of exchange was revalued by 2.1% and the RMB is now to fluctuate according to the value of a group of currencies (the “managed float”). However, the unification or managed float of the exchange rates does not imply convertibility of RMB into US$ or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China.

CHINA NATURAL RESOURCES, INC.
PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

          On February 3, 2006 (“the Acquisition Date”), China Natural Resources, Inc. (“CNRI”), a British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) Corporation acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Feishang Mining Holdings Limited (“FMH”). The transaction was structured as a reorganization of FMH with and into CNRI. The acquisition of FMH by CNRI has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition because on a post-merger basis, the former FMH shareholder holds 86.4% of the outstanding common shares of CNRI. As a result, FMH is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. As consideration for the acquisition, CNRI issued to the former FMH shareholder 9,980,593 restricted common shares and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an additional 4,500,000 common shares. In connection with the acquisition, CNRI converted 320,000 series B preferred shares into 320,000 common shares. The Warrants entitle the holder to purchase: 2,000,000 common shares of CNRI at an exercise price of $4.00 per share for a period of two years from the Acquisition Date; 1,500,000 common shares at an exercise price of $4.50 per share for a period of three years from the Acquisition Date; and 1,000,000 common shares at an exercise price of $5.00 per share for a period of four years from the Acquisition Date. Other than the exercise price and exercise period, all other terms and conditions of the Warrants are identical.

          The pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are based on the historical financial statements of CNRI and FMH. The acquisition of CNRI has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 have been prepared assuming the transaction was completed on January 1, 2004 and January 1, 2005, respectively The pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 assumes the transaction was completed on September 30, 2005. The unaudited pro forma financial statement information is presented for informational purposes only. The pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations do not purport to represent what CNRI’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the acquisition of FMH occurred as of such dates, or to project CNRI’s financial position or results of operations for any period or date, nor does it give effect to any matters other than those described in the notes thereto. The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with CNRI’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the historical financial statements of FMH’s operating subsidiary, Wuhu Feishang Mining Development Company, Ltd. (“WFM”) for the year ended December 31, 2004, the eight months December 31, 2003, the four months ended April 30, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002 which are incorporated by reference into this report on Form 6K/A.

          Certain assumptions, estimates and adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of developing such pro forma information. The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change.

          The functional currency of all the operations of the Company is the Renminbi (“RMB”), the national currency of the PRC. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the RMB are translated into RMBs at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies have been translated into RMBs at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange gains or losses are credited or charged to the consolidated statements of operations. The financial statements are stated in RMB. The translation of amounts from RMB into US$ is included solely for the convenience of the reader and has been made at the rate of exchange quoted by the People’s Bank of China on September 30, 2005 of US$1.00 = RMB8.08 (unaudited). No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at that rate on September 30, 2005 or at any other date.

CHINA NATURAL RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET (UNAUDITED)

          The following adjustments made to prepare the pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005, assume that the transaction whereby FMH became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CNRI, in a transaction accounted for under the purchase method of accounting as a reverse acquisition with FMH being the accounting acquirer, occurred on September 30, 2005. The adjustments also reflect the allocation of the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Because the former shareholder of FMH controls the combined entity after the combination transaction, the transaction is accounted for as a reverse transaction such that FMH is considered to have acquired CNRI. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of CNRI was determined by reference to its publicly traded market value immediately prior to the date of the acquisition agreement. The estimated fair value of CNRI was approximately RMB47.1 million (US$5.8 million). The carrying amounts of CNRI’s recorded assets and liabilities approximated their fair values and there were no identifiable intangible assets acquired resulting in goodwill of RMB15.6 million (US$1.9 million). Direct costs incurred by FMH for the acquisition are estimated to be approximately RMB242,000 (US$30,000).
