Note 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies and methods followed in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are those used by China Changjiang Mining And New Energy company Ltd (the ‘Company’) as described in Special Notes of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not conform in all respects to the disclosure and information that is required for annual consolidated financial statements. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosure required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for fair statement have been included in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014.

 

(a) Foreign Currency Translation

 

Exchange rates applied for the foreign currency translation during the period are as follows:

 

USD to RMB

 

   

June 30,

2014

   

December 31,

2013

 
Period end USD : RMB exchange rate     6.1528       6.0969  
Average periodic USD : RMB exchange rate     6.1249       6.1912  

 

USD to HKD

 

   

June 30,

2014

   

December 31,

2013

 
Period end USD : HKD exchange rate     7.8260       7.7555  
Average periodic USD : HKD exchange rate     7.7531       7.7542  

 

HKD is pegged to USD and hence there is no significant translation adjustment impact on these consolidated financial statements.

 

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

 

(b) Earning/Loss per share

 

Basic earning/loss per share is computed by dividing earning/loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earning/loss per share is computed in a manner similar to basic earning/loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

 

(c) Discontinued operations

 

As of June 30, 2014, the Company completed the sale of Shaanxi East Mining Co., Ltd (“East Mining”). In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, the results of operations of this divestiture have been reflected as discontinued operations. See Note 13 for additional information regarding discontinued operations.
