Item 8.01

Other Events

 

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 4, 2007, effective October 1, 2007 CDI China, Inc. (“CDI China”), a wholly owned subsidiary of China Direct, Inc. (“China Direct”), entered into a joint venture agreement (the “Agreement”) with Shanxi Jinyang Coal and Coke Group Co., Ltd. a Chinese limited liability company (“Jinyang Group”) and Mr. Runlian Tian, a shareholder of Jinyang Group. Jinyang Group and Mr. Tian are the owners of Shanxi Jinyang Metal Chemical Co., Ltd. which, pursuant to the Agreement, was restructured into a foreign invested entity (“FIE”) CDI Pan Magnesium Co., Ltd. Subsequently, this joint venture entity was renamed Pan Asia Magnesium Co., Ltd. (“Pan Asia Mag”).

 

The business operations of Jinyang Group, which was established in March 1996, include mining, coal washing and coking, chemical fertilizer, machine processing and hotel service. Jinyang Group employs approximately 2,000 employees and has 10 subsidiaries including one hotel. Following the transaction, Jinyang Group will discontinue manufacturing of magnesium ingot.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, China Direct agreed to contribute a total of $6.75 million as registered capital of which China Direct has already delivered the initial installment of $2.1 million. Jinyang Group and Mr. Tian agreed to contribute the assets of Shanxi Jinyang Metal Chemical Co., Ltd. which were valued at $6.48 million. In exchange for these contributions, CDI China owns 51% of Pan Asia Mag, with Jinyang Group and Mr. Tian owning 27% and 22%, respectively. On November 2, 2007 the Department of Commerce of the Shanxi Province approved this transaction. China Direct is obligated to deliver the balance of its registered capital contributions into the joint venture within two years from the granting of this license. Accordingly, we will be required to provide the remaining $4,650,000 in registered capital within two years of such date which will be funded from the cash reserves of China Direct.

 

Following is a brief discussion regarding the business and operations of Pan Asia Mag:

 

Overview

 

Pan Asia Mag is engaged in the production and sale of magnesium ingot with a magnesium element in excess of 99.95% in sizes ranging from 2 kg to 30 kg. Pan Asia Mag typically sells its products to foreign entities located in Europe and Asia, with approximately 70% of its production being historically sold to Chinese trading companies who export to foreign countries. Of the remaining product manufactured by Pan Asia Mag, approximately 20% is sold directly to European countries and the remaining approximate 10% directly to Asian countries.

 

- 2 -



Magnesium ingot produced by Pan Asia Mag satisfies the standard set forth by the National Quality Supervision Administration Office (GB/T3499-2003). In operations since 2001, Pan Asia Mag reported net revenues of $7,331,771 and a net loss of $594,779 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and net revenues of $4,567,056 and a net loss of $735,317 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 (unaudited), it reported net revenues of $6,792,877 and net income of $4,517.

 

According to the China Magnesium Association, in 2006 China produced 526,000 metric tons of primary magnesium, an increase of 12% from 2005. Furthermore, domestic consumption within China increased to 150,000 metric tons, an increase of 50% from 2005. As of September 11, 2007, during 2007 China has produced 412,100 metric tons of magnesium, with 47,900 metric tons produced in August 2007 alone. (1)

 

Pan Asia Mag’s operations are located in the Shanxi Province of China, and most of the magnesium in China is produced in the Shanxi Province which has abundant resources of dolomite, large coal deposits and some ferrosilicon production. In recent years, the Shanxi Province has taken a leadership position in China in various aspects of magnesium extraction technology and related environmental protection work and officials from the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) have designated the Shanxi Province as the central magnesium production region of China. As a result, the Shanxi Province has emerged as an important region for magnesium related companies. The annual output of magnesium in the Shanxi Province is approximately 360,000 metric tons, accounting for 55% of the world’s total magnesium output, and 77% of the total output in China. As such the manufacturers in the region have a degree of pricing power of magnesium in both domestic and international markets.

 

Pan Asia Mag utilizes a production method known as the silicothermic manufacturing process, sometimes referred to as the pigeon process, as the primary production method of its magnesium products. The primary raw materials for this production method are dolomite, ferrosilicon and coal. The pigeon process, a common method of manufacturing magnesium in China, offers several advantages including reduced cost, shorter production cycles, and environmentally friendly production methods when compared with alternative production methods. Pan Asia Mag produced and sold 4,873 metric tons and 4,500 metric tons of magnesium ingots in 2005 and 2006, respectively. In August 2007, it received a license from Environmental Protection Administration of the Shanxi Province. While it is not currently mandatory for manufacturers to obtain such a state-issued license, in an effort to accommodate mounting global pressure to reduce pollution, it is expected that the state government will implement such measures by December 2008.

 

Pan Asia Mag sells to customers on a product availability basis due to the demand of magnesium. Customers typically will provide advance notice of intended future purchases in an effort to ensure supply. Pan Asia Mag’s customers pay full amount of the order before the goods are loaded and shipped, and in most cases payments are made in the form of telegraphic transfer or cash and occasionally pursuant to a letter of credit). For overseas customers Pan Asia Mag generally processes and ships on a free on board (FOB) basis, but it may occasionally ship on a cost plus insurance plus freight (CIF) basis. When a order is shipped FOB, it means that Pan Asia Mag pays for transportation of the goods to the port of shipment, plus loading costs, and its customer pays freight, insurance, unloading costs and transportation from the arrival port to the final destination. The passing of risks occurs when the goods pass the ship’s rail at the port of shipment. When an order is requested “CIF”, the buyer pays Pan Asia Mag the cost of the product plus transportation (freight) and insurance for the products to reach the destination. Pan Asia Mag then arranges transportation and pays insurance during transit. If the shipment is lost, Pan Asia Mag will receive benefit of insurance for shipment and be responsible for replacing the lost shipment to its customer.

 

On sales made using trading companies in China, Pan Asia Mag will typically collect payment in full for the order two to three weeks prior to shipment, and its long term customers who have an established credit history with the company will pay Pan Asia Mag one to two days prior to shipment.

As with all companies in China, Pan Asia Mag is required to contribute a portion of its employees’ total salaries to the Chinese government’s social insurance funds, including medical insurance, unemployment insurance and job injuries insurance, and a housing assistance fund, in accordance with relevant regulations.

 

Facilities

 

Pan Asia Mag leases a manufacturing complex from Jinyang Group, which includes one manufacturing plant comprising approximately 500,000 square feet under a 30 year lease which was entered into in March 2000. The lease for the complex is based upon a fixed rate at RMB 1,000/Chinese Acre which is approximately $132 for every 7,000 sq. ft. The annual expense is approximately $14,550 (RMB 110,000). Included in the complex are two additional 500,000 square foot magnesium plants under construction, a 33,000 square foot warehouse, a 28,000 foot dormitory, 4,300 square feet of office space, and a 3,300 square foot quality control lab.

 

The manufacturing plant is a 500,000 square foot magnesium ingot plant with an annual estimated capacity of 6,000 metric tons. The two additional magnesium ingot plants, which are under construction; are each comprised of 500,000 square foot with an annual estimated capacity of 6,000 metric tons. Pan Asia Mag expects to commence operations following the completion of two additional 500,000 square foot magnesium ingot plants.

 

Jinyang Group commenced construction of two additional 500,000 square foot magnesium plants in March 2006. Presently Jinyang Group estimates the plants are 60 % completed. Pan Asia Mag expects the total cost for the construction of the two additional plants will be approximately $6,600,000. To date, Jinyang Group has invested approximately $3,960,000 to construct the new plants, with a total estimated cost of the project at $6,600,000. Pan Asia Mag will fund the balance of the project using a portion of the investment from our company. Construction is estimated to be completed by April 1, 2008.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

 

In addition to the lease of the manufacturing facilities from Jinyang Group, from time to time Pan Asia Mag has engaged in transaction with related parties. From time to time, as a private company, Pan Asia Mag has borrowed funds from or advanced funds to related parties for working capital purposes. These advanced are non interest bearing, unsecured and payable on demand. At September 30, 2007, the unaudited financial statements of Pan Asia Mag appearing elsewhere herein reflect a due from related party in the amount of $2,831,026, which represents amounts due from Shanxi Jinyang Coal and Coke Group Co., and a due to related party in the amount of $1,379,093, which represents funds borrowed from Tianning Hotel of $1,362,440 and Runlian Tian of $16,653. As of the date of the report, Pan Asia Mag’s financial statements reflect a due from related party in the amount of $1,468,586, which represents amounts due from Shanxi Jinyang Coal and Coke Group Co., and a due to related party in the amount of $16,653, which represents funds borrowed from Runlian Tian of $16,653. Following our acquisition of Pan Asia Mag, the practice of making loans to related parties has been discontinued.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Shareholders and Directors

Shanxi Jinyang Metal Chemical Co., Ltd

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Shanxi Jinyang Metal Chemical Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of operations, members’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Shanxi Jinyang Metal Chemical Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Organization

 

Shanxi Jinyang Metal Chemical Co., Ltd. (“Jinyang Metal”) was formed in May 2001 by Shanxi Jinyang Coal and Coke Group Co., Ltd. Jinyang Metal is engaged in the production of magnesium ingot. Jinyang Metal produced and sold 4,873 and 4,500 metric tons of Magnesium ingots in 2005 and 2006 respectively. Jinyang Metal manufactures and sells magnesium. Jinyang Metal was formed with an initial registered capital of approximately $3.6 million (RMB 27.5 million). Jinyang Metal is a subsidiary of Jinyang Coal and Coke Group Co., Ltd.

 

On October 1, 2007 CDI China, Inc. (“CDI China”), a wholly owned subsidiary of China Direct, Inc. (“China Direct”), entered into a joint venture agreement with Shanxi Jinyang Coal and Coke Group Co., Ltd. a Chinese limited liability company (“Jinyang Group”) and Mr. Runlian Tian, a shareholder of Jinyang Group. Jinyang Group and Mr. Tian are the owners of Jinyang Metal.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, China Direct agreed to contribute a total of $6.75 million as registered capital of which China Direct has already delivered the initial installment of $2.1 million. Jinyang Group and Mr. Tian agreed to contribute the assets of Shanxi Jinyang Metal Chemical Co., Ltd. which were valued at $6.48 million. In exchange for these contributions, CDI China owns 51% of Pan Asia Mag, with Jinyang Group and Mr. Tian owning 27% and 22%, respectively. On November 2, 2007 the Department of Commerce of the Shanxi Province approved this transaction. The parties are obligated to deliver the balance of all investments into the joint venture within two years from the granting of this license. Accordingly, we will be required to provide the remaining $4,650,000 in registered capital within two years of such date which will be funded from the cash reserves of China Direct.

 

Jinyang Metal is engaged in the production and sale of magnesium ingot with a magnesium element in excess of 99.95% in sizes ranging from 2 kg to 30 kg. Jinyang Metal typically sells its products to foreign entities located in Europe and Asia, with approximately 70% of its production being historically sold to Chinese trading companies who export to foreign countries. Of the remaining product manufactured by Jinyang Metal, approximately 20% is sold directly to European countries and the remaining approximate 10% directly to Asian countries.

 

Jinyang Metal reported net revenues of $7,331,771 and a net loss of $594,779 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and net revenues of $4,567,056 and a net loss of $735,317 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 (unaudited), it reported net revenues of $6,792,877 and net income of $4,517.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying financial statements for the interim periods are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the periods presented. The financial statements represent the operations of Jinyang Metal. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and notes thereto, contained in this financial statement. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2007.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the certain financial instruments. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

 

Basis of Financial Statements

 

Jinyang Metal maintains its records and prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in China. Certain adjustments and reclassifications have been incorporated in the accompanying financial statements to conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Jinyang Metal classifies highly liquid temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due to Jinyang Metal from normal business activities. Jinyang Metal maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected non-collection of accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific risks identified within the portfolio. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, or if payments from customers are significantly delayed, additional allowances might be required. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, Jinyang Metal recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $66,807 and $64,690 respectively. As of September 30, 2007, Jinyang Metal recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $69,472.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods related to Jinyang Metal products, are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing weighted average method.

 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

 

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of prepayments to suppliers for merchandise which has not yet been shipped from the suppliers. Jinyang Metal will recognize the prepayment as inventory or costs of goods sold as suppliers ship merchandises to Jinyang Metal in compliance with its accounting policy. Jinyang Metal recorded advance payments to suppliers as prepaid expenses until such time that Jinyang Metal receives the shipping records from the suppliers.

 

Due from/to Related Parties

 

The financial statements include balances and transactions with related parties. From time to time, as a private company, Jinyang Metal would receive advances from or advance funds to related parties. These advances were for working capital purposes. These related parties would either be (i) an officer, director or shareholder of Jinyang Metal (ii) a company in which an officer, director or shareholder of Jinyang Metal was an officer, director or shareholder or (iii) a company in which Jinyang Metal was a shareholder. These advances are non interest bearing, unsecured and payable on demand. Amounts due from/to related parties are discussed in further detail in NOTE 7.

 

Accounts Payable

 

Accounts payable indicates the cost of goods which have been delivered but for which Jinyang Metal has not been presented a bill for payment. Certain vendors will extend extended payment terms. Ordinarily purchases made by Jinyang Metal are due upon demand upon the presentation of a billing statement. None of the amounts are due to a related party.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Advances from Customers

 

Advances from customers consist of prepayments to Jinyang Metal for merchandise that had not yet been shipped to the customer. Jinyang Metal will recognize the deposits as revenue as customers take delivery of the goods, in compliance with its revenue recognition policy.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which are from five to twenty years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, Jinyang Metal examines the possibility of decreases in the value of property and equipment when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, loans and amounts due from related parties approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Jinyang Metal follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, Jinyang Metal records 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 collectibility is reasonably assured.

Foreign Currencies

 

Transactions and balances in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, and are included in determining net income or loss.

 

For foreign operations with the local currency as the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated from the local currencies into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average exchange rates for the period to approximate translation at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates those elements are recognized in the financial statements. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income or loss.

 

The reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Jinyang Metal is the local currency, the Chinese dollar or Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of Jinyang Metal are translated into United States dollars using end of period rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the statements of operations and were not material during the periods presented due to fluctuations between the RMB and the United States dollar. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $87,687 and $9,254 respectively. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash at September 30, 2007 was $101,969.

 

On July 21, 2005, the central government of China allowed the RMB to fluctuate, ending its decade old policy of valuation pegged to the U.S. dollar. The new policy has resulted in a 2% approximate increase in value against the U.S. dollar. Historically the Chinese government has benchmarked the RMB exchange ratio against the U.S. dollar, thereby mitigating the associated foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk. Jinyang Metal does not believe that its foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk is significant, especially if the Chinese government continues to benchmark the RMB against the U.S. dollar.

 

Income Tax

 

Income tax expense is based on reported income before income tax. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between asset and liability amounts that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. These deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. Valuation allowances are recognized to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the likelihood of realization, management considers estimates of future taxable income.

Comprehensive Income

 

Jinyang Metal uses Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130) “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of members’ equity, except those due to investments by members, changes in members’ equity and distributions to members. For Jinyang Metal, comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 included net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAX

 

Jinyang Metal accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” “SFAS 109”. SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry forwards. SFAS 109 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.

 

The operations of Jinyang Metal are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and local income tax laws (the “PRC Income Tax Law”). Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Law, wholly-owned foreign enterprises are subject to tax at a statutory rate of 33% (30% state income tax plus 3% local income tax).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Financial Statements reflect the name Shanxi Jinyang Metal Chemical Co., Ltd. The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 solely reflect the operations of Shanxi Jinyang Metal Chemical Co., Ltd.

 

On October 1, 2007 CDI China, Inc. (“CDI China”), a wholly owned subsidiary of China Direct, Inc. (“China Direct”), entered into a joint venture agreement with Shanxi Jinyang Coal and Coke Group Co., Ltd. a Chinese limited liability company (“Jinyang Group”) and Mr. Runlian Tian, a shareholder of Jinyang Group. Jinyang Group and Mr. Tian are the owners of Jinyang Metal.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, China Direct agreed to contribute a total of $6.75 million as registered capital of which China Direct has already delivered the initial installment of $2.1 million. Jinyang Group and Mr. Tian agreed to contribute the assets of Shanxi Jinyang Metal Chemical Co., Ltd. which were valued at $6.48 million. In exchange for these contributions, CDI China owns 51% of Pan Asia Mag, with Jinyang Group and Mr. Tian owning 27% and 22%, respectively. On November 2, 2007 the Department of Commerce of the Shanxi Province approved this transaction. The parties are obligated to deliver the balance of all investments into the joint venture within two years from the granting of this license. Accordingly, we will be required to provide the remaining $4,650,000 in registered capital within two years of such date which will be funded from the cash reserves of China Direct.

SHANXI JINYANG METAL CHEMICAL CO., LTD.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 11 - OPERATING RISK

 

(a) Country risk

 

Revenues are primarily derived from the manufacture and sale of magnesium in the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”). Therefore, a downturn or stagnation in the economic environment of the PRC could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Jinyang Metal.

 

(b) Products risk

 

In addition to competing with other companies, the Company could have to compete with larger U.S. companies who have greater funds available for expansion, marketing, research and development and the ability to attract more qualified personnel if access is allowed into the PRC market. If U.S. companies do gain access to the PRC markets, they may be able to offer products at a lower price. There can be no assurance that the Company will remain competitive should this occur.

 

(c) Exchange risk

 

The Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady, therefore there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of sales for two comparable periods and because of a fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of the RMB converted to U.S. dollars on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environments without notice.

 

(d) Political risk

 

Currently, PRC is in a period of growth and is openly promoting business development in order to bring more business into PRC. Additionally PRC allows a Chinese corporation to be owned by a United States corporation. If the laws or regulations are changed by the PRC government, the Company’s ability to operate the PRC subsidiaries could be affected.

 

(e) Key personnel risk

 

The Company’s future success depends on the continued services of executive management. The loss of any of their services would be detrimental to the Company and could have an adverse effect on business development. The Company maintains key-man insurance on the lives of the executive management. Future success is also dependent on the ability to identify, hire, train and retain other qualified managerial and other employees. Competition for these individuals is intense and increasing.

Under the terms of the Agreement, China Direct agreed to contribute a total of $6.75 million as registered capital of which China Direct has already delivered the initial installment of $2.1 million. Jinyang Group and Mr. Tian agreed to contribute the assets of Shanxi Jinyang Metal Chemical Co., Ltd. which were valued at $6.48 million. In exchange for these contributions, CDI China owns 51% of Pan Asia Mag, with Jinyang Group and Mr. Tian owning 27% and 22%, respectively. On November 2, 2007 the Department of Commerce of the Shanxi Province approved this transaction. China Direct is obligated to deliver the balance of registered capital into the joint venture within two years from the granting of this license. Accordingly, we will be required to provide the remaining $4,650,000 in registered capital within two years of such date which will be funded from the cash reserves of China Direct.

 

The acquisition closed on October 1, 2007.

 

Shanxi Jinyang Metal Chemical Co., Ltd. (“Jinyang Metal”) was formed in May 2001 by Shanxi Jinyang Coal and Coke Group Co., Ltd. Jinyang Metal is engaged in the production of magnesium ingot.
