CHINA NATURAL RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Amounts in thousands of RMB, except share and per share data)
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2005, and to the Companys Form 6-K filed on June 19, 2006.
For the convenience of the reader, amounts in Renminbi (RMB) have been translated into United States dollars (US$) at the rate of US$1.00 = RMB7.90 quoted by the Peoples Bank of China as at September 30, 2006. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at that rate.
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period classifications.

ACQUISITION
On February 3, 2006 (the Acquisition Date), the Company consummated the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Feishang Mining Holdings Limited (FMH), a British Virgin Islands corporation (the Acquisition). FMH, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Wuhu Feishang Mining Development Co. Ltd., is principally engaged in the mining of zinc, iron and other minerals for distribution in the PRC. The transaction was structured as a reorganization of FMH with and into the Company. As consideration for the Acquisition, the Company issued to the former FMH shareholder 9,980,593 of the Companys common shares, as well as warrants (the Warrants) to purchase an additional 4,500,000 of the Companys common shares. In connection with the Acquisition, the 320,000 series B preferred shares were converted into 320,000 common shares. The Warrants entitle the holder to purchase: 2,000,000 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of US$4.00 per share for a period of two years from the Acquisition Date; 1,500,000 common shares at an exercise price of US$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 US$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 acquisition of FMH by the Company was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and is treated as a reverse acquisition because on a post-merger basis, the former FMH shareholder holds 86.4% of the outstanding common shares of the Company. As a result, FMH is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes.

ACQUISITION (Continued)
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements represent the operations of FMH through February 2, 2006 and the consolidated operations of FMH and the Company subsequent to February 2, 2006. We have retroactively restated our issued share capital to reflect the acquisition by FMH.
The following table summarizes the initial estimated fair values of the Companys assets and liabilities acquired by FMH at the Acquisition Date. The purchase price was determined by multiplying the number of outstanding shares immediately prior to consummating the acquisition of 1,567,823 by the closing price of our common shares the day prior to the public announcement of the Acquisition Agreement between the Company and FMH. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to refinement:

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions believed to be reliable, but involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results of operations to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Among the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements are our intent, belief and current expectations as to: our business operations and operating results; uncertainties regarding the governmental, economic and political circumstances in the Peoples Republic of China; risks and hazards associated with the Companys mining activities; uncertainties associated with ore reserve estimates and metal price volatility; uncertainties associated with the Companys reliance on third-party contractors; uncertainties associated with continued customers for minerals; and, other risks detailed from time to time in the Companys Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Although the Companys management believes that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can provide no assurance that such expectations will prove to be accurate.
NET SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased by 22% compared to September 30, 2005. The increase was mainly due to the 122% increase in the average selling price of zinc, partly offset by the decrease in the sales volume of zinc as actual zinc mined was 39% lower during the current period.
Sales for the third quarter of 2006 increased by 25% compared to the corresponding period in 2005. The increase was mainly due to the increase in the average selling price of zinc of 171%, partly offset by the decrease in the sales volume of zinc of 51% as the actual zinc mined was lower during the current period.
The gross profit margin for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was 78% and 72%, respectively, compared to 64% and 62% for the corresponding period in 2005. The increase was primarily due to the increase in selling price of zinc as a result of increased demand.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by RMB3,427,000 (US$434,000) or 49% to RMB10,345,000 (US$1,309,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from RMB6,918,000 (US$876,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to the consolidation of CHNRs expenses, including legal, accounting, filing fees and other expenses of public company operations, following the reverse acquisition. These expenses are recurring. It is anticipated that these expenses will increase moderately in the future years in line with the general inflation.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by RMB1,760,000 (US$223,000) or 119% to RMB3,239,000 (US$410,000) for the third quarter of 2006 from RMB1,479,000 (US$187,000) for the third quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to consolidation of CHNRs expenses, including legal, accounting, filing fees and other expenses of public company operations, following the reverse acquisition. These expenses are recurring. It is anticipated that these expenses will increase moderately in the future years in line with the general inflation.
INTEREST INCOME, NET
Interest income decreased by RMB486,000 (US$62,000) or 57% to RMB373,000 (US$47,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from RMB859,000 (US$109,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income earned on loans and advances to related parties in 2005 of RMB515,000 (US$65,000), partly offset by an increase in cash balances in 2006.
Interest income decreased by RMB451,000 (US$57,000) or 77% to RMB138,000 (US$17,000) for the third quarter of 2006 from RMB589,000 (US$75,000) for the third quarter of 2005. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income earned on loans and advances to related parties in 2005 of RMB450,000 (US$57,000).
11
OTHER (EXPENSE)/INCOME, NET
Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 primarily consisted of a net gain on trading of marketable securities of RMB4,958,000 (US$627,000).
DISCONTINUED OPEARATIONS
Discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 consisted of a loss on disposal of iSense and HARC of RMB11,733,000 (US$1,485,000).
INCOME TAXES
Management believes that the Company is not subject to US taxes.
Under the current laws of the BVI, dividends and capital gains arising from the Companys investments in the BVI are not subject to income taxes and no withholding tax is imposed on payments of dividends to the Company.
The Companys subsidiaries in the PRC are subject to PRC federal statutory tax rate applicable to foreign investment enterprises in Hainan and Wuhu of 15%.
NET INCOME
Net income increased by RMB5,415,000 (US$685,000) or 16% to RMB39,510,000 (US$5,002,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from RMB34,095,000 (US$4,316,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in gross profit by 42% in 2006 compared to 2005, partly offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and the loss on disposal of discontinued operations of RMB11,733,000 (US$1,485,000).
Net income decreased by RMB4,684,000 (US$593,000) or 28% to RMB12,193,000 (US$1,544,000) for the third quarter of 2006 from RMB16,877,000 (US$2,136,000) for the third quarter of 2005. Despite the increase in gross profit by 51% in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the corresponding period in 2005, the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and the loss on disposal of discontinued operations of RMB11,733,000 (US$1,485,000) caused the overall decrease in net income in the third quarter of 2006.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Companys primary liquidity needs are to fund operating expenses and to expand business operations. The Company has financed its working capital requirements primarily through internally generated cash.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately RMB70,756,000 (US$8,957,000), as compared to RMB40,194,000 (US$5,088,000) for the corresponding period in 2005. Net cash inflows/outflows from the Companys operating activities are attributable to the Companys net income and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily attributable to purchases of fixed assets and repayments of amounts due to a director. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily attributable to dividends paid.
