Material Impairments
|
On September 10, 2014, the Board of Directors of CD International Enterprises, Inc. ( the "Company") authorized the impairment of the Company's long-lived assets, including land use rights and intangible assets, in the magnesium segment. In addition to the asset impairments disclosed in the Company's 2012 Form 10-K, the Company currently owns majority interests in Taiyuan Ruiming Yiwei Magnesium Co., Ltd., Golden Trust Magnesium Industry Co., Ltd., and Lingshi Xinghai Magnesium Industry Co., Ltd., all companies organized under the laws of People's Republic of China operating in manufacturing of magnesium ingots and alloys. In the past two years, these magnesium facilities have been idle or in minimal production capacity due to insufficient material resources and restrictions of the Laws and Regulations of the PRC. The Board of Directors deem it not economically viable of these facilities to resume full production, and determined to be in the best interest of the Company to impair the long-lived assets of these facilities.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company will record an impairment of assets totaling approximately $32.4 million, including impairment of approximately $5.4 million in Taiyuan Ruiming assets, $11.3 million in Golden Trust assets, and $15.7 million in Lingshi Xinghai assets. The Company does not anticipate that such impairment charge will result in future cash expenditures by the Company relating to these magnesium facilities. The Company intends to sell these magnesium facility assets in the future.
