Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On September 15, 2006, Earth Products & Technologies, Inc. (“EPTI” or the “Company”) consummated the terms of a Stock Exchange Agreement dated July 14, 2006 (the “Exchange Agreement”) with American Federal Mining Group, Inc., an Illinois company (hereinafter “AFMG”), and the shareholders of AFMG (the “AFMG Shareholders”).   As a result of the transaction, EPTI issued a total of 20,000,000 shares of common stock to the shareholders of AFMG, in exchange for 100% of AFMG’s outstanding stock.  The common stock was issued in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  This transaction will be accounted for as a reverse merger with AFMG deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company the legal acquirer.  

As a result of the share exchange/reverse takeover, AFMG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPTI, with EPTI, which previously had no material operations, becoming a holding company for the business of AFMG and its subsidiaries.  AFMG is a holding company, incorporated in Illinois, whose principal business is the ownership of entities in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) engaged in the acquisition, exploration, extraction and development of mining properties.

The share exchange/reverse takeover resulted in a change in voting control of EPTI.  The former shareholders of AFMG now hold a total of 20,000,000 shares of common stock, or approximately 94% of the outstanding common stock of EPTI, and the original EPTI shareholders now hold a total of 1,297,700 shares of common stock, or approximately 6% of the outstanding common stock.  At the closing, EPTI’s officers and directors resigned, and Xiao-Jing Yu was appointed as President of EPTI. For purposes of this Form 8-K report, Qianzhen Mining, Xiangzhen Mining, and Tianzhen Mining are referred to as the “Subsidiaries.”    

Effective October 20, 2006, EPTI changed its name to China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc.
 
(b) The Registrant is using Alternative 3 in Form 10SB. The Item references below are to the items in Form 10SB

Description of Business

Our primary business activity is mining, processing and distributing of fluorite ore, copper, zinc, lead, and other mineral products.  All of our business is conducted through the subsidiaries of China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc.  We operate mines in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Xingjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, which are known for their rich reserves of high-grade minerals of fluorite, copper, lead and zinc.  Regional human resources of general labor and specialized professional mining teams are available to us at a low cost.  We maintain good relationships with the government by providing employment opportunities to the people and tax revenues to the government.  We have also achieved strategic cooperative alliances with several large-scale domestic steel or chemical enterprises after years of experience and relationships in the mineral markets.  Such alliances combined with the large resources available on hand provide the Company with a competitive advantage over others in the same industry.

RISKFACTORS

An investment in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this 8-K/A before purchasing any of our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties may also adversely impair our business operations. If any of the events described in the risk factors below actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer significantly. In such case, the value of your investment could decline and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common stock.

Risks Related Our Business

We may not be able to secure financing needed for future operating needs on acceptable terms, or on any terms at all. 
 
From time to time, we may seek additional financing to provide the capital required to maintain or expand our exploration activities and mining facilities, and equipment and/or working capital, as well as repay outstanding loans if cash flow from operations is insufficient to do so. We cannot predict with certainty the timing or amount of any such capital requirements. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to expand our business or to develop new business as the rate desired, and our operating results may suffer. If we are able to incur debt, we may be subject to certain restrictions imposed by the terms of the debt and the repayment of such debt may limit our cash flow and our ability to grow. If we are unable to incur debt, we may be forced to issue additional equity, which could have a dilutive effect on the then current holders of equity.

We receive a significant portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. Our business will be harmed if our customers reduce their orders from us. 

A significant amount of our revenues are derived from only a small number of customers mainly in the iron and steel and fluorite chemical industries.  Dependence on a few customers could expose us to the risk of substantial losses if a single dominant customer stops purchasing our products. If we lose any customers and are unable to replace them with other customers that purchase a similar amount of our products and services, our revenues and net income would decline considerably.

We may not have sufficient supply of nonferrous ore.

Qianzhen Mining, one of our subsidiaries, has a 200,000 metric ton/year processing capacity for zinc-lead ore. However, it does not produce any ore it processes.  Currently, it obtains its supply of ore from third parties.  Its contracts with third parties will expire in June 2008.  We may not be able to renew contracts or secure new contracts with third party suppliers.  Although we plan to increase the quantity of nonferrous metal ore at Qingshan Metal to replace third party suppliers, we may not be able to produce a sufficient quantity to ensure the supply of ore for Qianzhen Mining.  As a result, our revenues may be reduced and our business would suffer.

Inclement weather may affect our fluorite business.  

Our fluorite business is conducted through Xiangzhen Mining which is located in an outlying area on the border between China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Mongolia.  The weather conditions there are very harsh, especially in winter.  If there is a strong snow storm, our fluorite mining operations may have to be suspended for an indefinite period of time and we may not be able to ship our fluorite products to our customers in time.  As a result, our revenues may be negatively impacted.
 
4

 
Our administrative costs could affect our ability to be profitable.

Our exploration and mining operations are scattered across several geographical locations in China and we will complete an acquisition of a gold mine in Kyrgyzstan.  Our administrative costs may increase as a result and our profitability may be affected.
 
Our ability to operate our company effectively could be impaired if we lose key personnel

We depend on the services of key executives and a small number of personnel focused on the development of our mining projects. Additionally, the number of persons skilled in the development and operation of mining properties is limited and significant competition exists for these individuals. We cannot assure you that we will be able to employ key personnel or that we will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance to cover our executive officers. Due to the relatively small size of our company, our failure to retain or attract key personnel may delay or otherwise adversely affect the development of our projects, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We may not be able to attract and retain the additional personnel we will need to develop any of our projects

We are a small company with a limited operating history and relatively few employees. The development of any of our proposed projects will place substantial demands on us. We will be required to recruit additional personnel and to train, motivate and manage these new employees. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.

We may not be able to obtain or renew licenses, rights and permits required to develop or operate our mines, or we may encounter environmental conditions or requirements which would adversely affect our business

In the ordinary course of business, mining companies are required to seek governmental permits for expansion of existing operations or for the commencement of new operations. In addition to requiring permits for the development of our mines, we will need to obtain various mining permits during the life of the project. Obtaining and renewing the necessary governmental permits is a complex and time-consuming process.  Obtaining or renewing necessary permits may increase costs and cause delays depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and the interpretation of applicable requirements implemented by the permitting authority.  There can be no assurance that all necessary permits will be obtained and, if obtained, will be renewed, or that in each case the costs involved will not exceed those that we previously estimated. It is possible that the costs and delays associated with compliance with such standards and regulations could become such that we would not proceed with the development or operation of a mine or mines.

Any material inaccuracies in our production estimates could adversely affect our results of operations

We have prepared estimates of future production. We cannot assure you that we will ever achieve our production estimates or any production at all. Our production estimates depend on, among other things:
 
§
the accuracy of our mineralization and reserves estimates;
 
§
the accuracy of assumptions regarding ore grades and recovery rates;
 
5

 
§
ground conditions and physical characteristics of the mineralization, such as hardness and the presence or absence of particular metallurgical characteristics;

§
the accuracy of estimated rates and costs of mining and processing; and

§
our ability to obtain and keep effective all permits for our mines and facilities.

Our actual production may vary from our estimates if any of our assumptions prove to be incorrect.

Expansion of our business may put added pressure on our management and operational infrastructure, impeding our ability to meet any increased demand for our products and possibly hurting our operating results. 

Our business plan is to significantly grow our operations to meet anticipated growth in demand for our products. Our planned growth includes the expansion of exploration and mining over the next few years.  Although most of management personnel have extensive experience in the mining industry, their training is in mining operations rather than contemporary management principles.  They may be not able to cope with the challenges presented by being a U.S. public company and the competitive business environment due to globalization.  In addition, growth in our business may place a significant strain on our personnel, management, financial systems and other resources. The evolution of our business also presents numerous risks and challenges, including:

§
the continued demand of our products by the iron and steel, and fluorite chemical industries;

§
our ability to successfully and rapidly expand our operations in response to potentially increasing demand;

§
the costs associated with such growth, which are difficult to quantify, but could be significant;

§
rapid technological change; and

§
the highly cyclical nature of the mining industry.

If we are successful in obtaining rapid market growth of our products, we will be required to deliver large volumes of quality products to customers on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost to those customers. Meeting any such increased demand will require us to expand our manufacturing facilities, to increase our ability to purchase raw materials, to increase the size of our work force, to expand our quality control capabilities and to increase the scale upon which we provide our products. Such demands would require more capital (including working capital) than we currently have available and we may be unable to meet the needs of our customers.

We may not succeed in listing our common stock on a U.S. stock exchange, resulting in the payment of increased interest and liquidated damages to our primary lender.

On December 27, 2006, we issued $28,000,000 original principal amount of convertible notes to Citadel Equity Fund Ltd.  The convertible notes are further described in the Managements Discussion and Analysis section under “CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS - Convertible Notes”.   The indenture relating to the convertible notes contains a covenant that we will finalize the listing of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or NASDAQ by November 15, 2007.  If we fail to obtain such listing by that time, the interest rate on the Notes will increase from 6.75% to 10.50% (dropping to 8.5% once we obtain the listing), and we will be required to pay liquidated damages to the holders of the convertible notes of $750,000.  The convertible notes provide for additional liquidated damages if we fail to keep other covenants relating to (i) appointment of auditors, (ii) appointment of a chief financial officer with U.S. listed company experience, or (iii) honoring a right of the holder of the notes to nominate a director to our board of directors.  Consequently, if we are unable to procure a listing on a U.S. stock exchange by November 15, 2007, or to honor our other covenants under the Notes, we will incur additional expenses and our profitability will suffer.

Risks Related to Our Industry

Fluctuations in the market price of fluorite and nonferrous metals could adversely affect the value of our company and our securities

The profitability of our operations will be directly related to the market price of the metals we mine and refine. The market prices of fluorite and nonferrous metals fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of any mining company. These factors include fluctuations with respect to the rate of inflation, the exchange rates of the Renminbi and other currencies, interest rates, global or regional political and economic conditions, banking industry fluctuations, global and regional demand, production costs in major metal producing areas and a number of other factors. Any drop in the price of the metals important to our operations would adversely impact our revenues, profits and cash flows. In particular, a sustained drop in prices could:
 
§
cause suspension of our development and, ultimately our mining operations, if such operations become uneconomic at the then-prevailing prices, thus further reducing revenues;
 
§
prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our agreements or under our permits and licenses which could cause us to lose our interests in, or be forced to sell, our properties; and
 
§
reduce financing available to us.

§
Furthermore, the need to reassess the feasibility of any of our projects if metals prices decline could cause substantial delays or might interrupt operations until the reassessment can be completed. Mineral reserve calculations and life-of-mine plans using significantly lower metal prices could result in reduced estimates of mineral reserves and in material write-downs of our investment in mining properties and increased amortization, reclamation and closure charges.

Mining is inherently dangerous and subject to conditions or events beyond our control, and any operating hazards could have a material adverse effect on our business

Mining involves various types of risks and hazards, including: environmental hazards, industrial accidents, metallurgical and other processing problems, unusual or unexpected rock formations, structure cave-in or slides, flooding, fires and interruption due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions.

These risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties, production facilities or other properties, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, increased production costs, monetary losses and possible legal liability. We may not be able to obtain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums and some types of insurance may be unavailable or too expensive to maintain. We may suffer a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our securities may decline if we incur losses related to any significant events that are not covered by our insurance policies.

7

 
There is no guarantee that legal title to the properties in which we have an interest will not be challenged, which could result in the loss of our rights in those properties

The ownership and validity, or title, of unpatented mining claims are often uncertain and may be contested. A successful claim contesting our title or interest to a property could cause us to lose our rights to mine that property. In addition, the success of such a claimant could result in our not being compensated for our prior expenditures relating to the property.

The mining industry is intensely competitive, and we may have difficulty effectively competing with other mining companies in the future

Mines have limited lives and, as a result, we must continually seek to replace and expand our mineralization and reserves through the acquisition of new properties. Significant competition exists for the acquisition of properties producing or capable of producing fluorite and nonferrous metals. We may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring additional mining properties because we must compete with other individuals and companies, many of which may have greater financial resources and larger technical staffs than we have. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to acquire attractive mining properties on acceptable terms.

Shortages of critical parts, equipment and skilled labor may adversely affect our development projects

The industry has been impacted by increased worldwide demand for critical resources such as input commodities, drilling equipment, tires and skilled labor. These shortages have caused and may continue to cause unanticipated cost increases and delays in delivery times, potentially impacting operating costs, capital expenditures and production schedules.

Costs estimates and timing of new projects are uncertain

The capital expenditures and time required to develop new mines or other projects are considerable and changes in costs or construction schedules can affect project economics. There are a number of factors that can affect costs and construction schedules, including, among others:
 
§
availability of labor, power, transportation, commodities and infrastructure;
§
increases in input commodity prices and labor costs;
§
fluctuations in exchange rates;
§
availability of financing;
§
difficulty of estimating construction costs over a period of years; and
§
delays in obtaining environmental or other government permits.

Risks Relate to Doing Business in China
 
The Company’s business will be affected by PRC government regulation and the country’s economic environment because most of our sales will be in the China market.

Although we export products to other countries, most of our sales are in the PRC.  It is anticipated that our products in China will continue to represent a significant portion of sales in the near future.  As a result of our reliance on the China markets, our operating results and financial performance could be affected by any adverse changes in economic, political and social conditions in China.
 
8

 
There can be no assurance that future regulatory, judicial and legislative changes will not have a material adverse effect on us, that regulators or third parties will not raise material issues with regard to compliance or non-compliance with applicable laws or regulations, or that any changes in applicable laws or regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
The economy of the PRC has been transitioning from a planned economy to market oriented economy. Although in recent years the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reforms, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in the PRC are still owned by the Chinese government. For example, all lands are state owned and are leased to business entities or individuals through governmental granting of state-owned land use rights or mining and exploration rights.  The granting process is typically based on government policies at the time of granting and it could be lengthy and complex. This process may adversely affect our future business expansion. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over the PRC’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Uncertainties may arise with changing of governmental policies and measures. At present, our mining and exploration activities are subject to approvals from the relevant government authorities in China.  Such governmental approval processes are typically lengthy and complex, and never certain to be obtained. 

There are risks inherent in doing business in China.

The PRC is a developing country with a young market economic system overshadowed by the state. Its political and economic systems are very different from the more developed countries and are still in the state of change.  China also faces many social, economic and political challenges that may produce major shocks and instabilities and even crises, in both its domestic arena and in its relationship with other countries, including but not limited to the United States. Such shocks, instabilities and crises may in turn significantly and adversely affect our performance.
 
Certain political and economic considerations relating to the PRC could adversely affect CSZM.

While the PRC government has pursued economic reforms since its adoption of the open-door policy in 1978, a large portion of the PRC economy is still operating under five-year plans and annual state plans. Through these plans and other economic measures, such as control on foreign exchange, taxation and restrictions on foreign participation in the domestic market of various industries, the PRC government exerts considerable direct and indirect influence on the economy. Many of the economic reforms carried out by the PRC government are unprecedented or experimental, and are expected to be refined and improved.  Other political, economic and social factors can also lead to further readjustment of such reforms. This refining and readjustment process may not necessarily have a positive effect on our operations or future business development.  Our operating results may be adversely affected by changes in the PRC’s economic and social conditions as well as by changes in the policies of the PRC government, such as changes in laws and regulations (or the official interpretation thereof), measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the interest rate or method of taxation, and the imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion.

9

 
The recent nature and uncertain application of many PRC laws applicable to CSZM create an uncertain environment for business operations and they could have a negative effect on us.

The PRC legal system is a civil law system. Unlike the common law system, the civil law system is based on written statutes in which decided legal cases have little value as precedents. In 1979, the PRC began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and has since introduced many laws and regulations to provide general guidance on economic and business practices in the PRC and to regulate foreign investment. Progress has been made in the promulgation of laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. The promulgation of new laws, changes of existing laws and the abrogation of local regulations by national laws could have a negative impact on our business and business prospects. In addition, as these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent, their interpretation and enforcement involve significant uncertainty.

A new Chinese law may impact our ability to make acquisitions of Chinese businesses.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies namely, the PRC Ministry of Commerce, the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (“SASAC”), the State Administration for Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”), and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), jointly adopted the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (the “New M&A Rule”), which became effective on September 8, 2006. The New M&A Rule purports, among other things, to require offshore Special Purpose Ventures, or SPVs, formed after the effective date, for overseas listing purposes, through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies and controlled by PRC companies or individuals, to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange.

The Company intends to make acquisitions of Chinese businesses in the future. There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current or future PRC laws and regulations, including the New M&A Rule and those uncertainties could make it difficult or impossible to make acquisitions of Chinese businesses in the future.

Foreign Investment Policy Change

On March 16, 2007, China's parliament, the National People's Congress, adopted the Enterprise Income Tax Law, which will take effect on January 1, 2008. The new income tax law sets a unified income tax rate for domestic and foreign companies at 25 percent and abolishes the favorable policy for foreign invested enterprises. After this law takes effect, newly established foreign invested enterprises will not enjoy favorable tax treatment as in effect under current tax laws. Some of our subsidiaries are benefiting from the preferred tax rates for foreign companies and will be subject to the new tax rate when their respective term of preferred tax rates expires. Our net income margin may be affected at that time.

Risks Related to the Market for Our Stock

The market for our Common Stock is limited.

The trading market in our common stock is the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. The Bulletin Board is an unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than NASDAQ or Amex, and quotes for stocks included on the Bulletin Board are not listed in the financial sections of newspapers, as are those for the NASDAQ or Amex Stock Market.
 
Trading in our common stock has been sporadic and does not constitute an active market. From September 15, 2006 to July 13, 2007, our trading volume has been very low and inconsistent, ranging from no trading at all to a high of 56,500 shares. During the same period, the high sale price was $9.00 and the low sale price was $1.50. Prior to the acquisition of AFMG, we were a publicly traded shell and the transactions in our stock while we were a shell are not relevant. On July 13, 2007, the closing price was $3.63.
 
10

We currently have approximately 675 shareholders. But the trading volume has been low.  A viable public trading market may not develop for our shares or may take a period of time to develop. Such a market, if it does develop, could be subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. In the absence of an active trading market: 

§
Shareholders may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations;

§
market visibility for our Common Stock may be limited; and

§
a lack of visibility for our Common Stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for our Common Stock.

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited, as our subsidiaries are incorporated in non-U.S. jurisdictions, we conduct substantially all of our operations in China, and all of our officers reside outside the United States. 

We conduct substantially all of our operations in China through our wholly owned subsidiaries in China. All of our officers reside outside the United States and some or all of the assets of those persons are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against these individuals in China in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the PRC may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers. As a result of all of the above, our public stockholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against our management, directors or major stockholders than would stockholders of a corporation doing business entirely within the United States.

The trading prices of many companies that have business operations only in China have been volatile which may result in large fluctuations in the price of our Common Stock and losses for shareholders. 

The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the trading prices of equity securities of many companies that have business operations only in China. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of many of these companies. Any negative change in the public’s perception of these companies could depress our stock price regardless of our operating results. The market price of our Common Stock has been and may continue to be volatile. We expect our stock price to be subject to fluctuations as a result of a variety of factors, including factors beyond our control. These factors include:
§
actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;

§
announcements of technological innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors;

§
announcements relating to strategic relationships or acquisitions;

§
additions or terminations of coverage of our Common Stock by securities analysts;

§
statements by securities analysts regarding us or our industry;

§
conditions or trends in the our industry; and

11


§
changes in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other mining companies.
 
The prices at which our Common Stock trades will affect our ability to raise capital, which may have an adverse affect on our ability to fund our operations.

Our Common Stock may be considered to be a “penny stock” and, as such, the market for our Common Stock may be further limited by certain SEC rules applicable to penny stocks. 

To the extent the price of our common stock remains below $5.00 per share, we have net tangible assets of $2,000,000 or less, or if we fall below certain other thresholds, our common shares will be subject to certain “penny stock” rules promulgated by the SEC. Those rules impose certain sales practice requirements on brokers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000). For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, the broker must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. Furthermore, the penny stock rules generally require, among other things, that brokers engaged in secondary trading of penny stocks provide customers with written disclosure documents, monthly statements of the market value of penny stocks, disclosure of the bid and asked prices and disclosure of the compensation to the brokerage firm and disclosure of the sales person working for the brokerage firm. These rules and regulations adversely affect the ability of brokers to sell our common shares and limit the liquidity of our securities.

We may seek to make acquisitions that prove unsuccessful or strain or divert our resources. 

We may seek to expand our business through the acquisition of related businesses and assets. We may not be able to complete any acquisitions on favorable terms or at all. Acquisitions present risks that could materially and adversely affect our business and financial performance, including:

§
the diversion of our management’s attention from our everyday business activities;

§
the contingent and latent risks associated with the past operations of, and other unanticipated problems arising in, the acquired business; and

§
the need to expand management, administration, and operational systems.

If we make such acquisitions we cannot predict whether:

§
we will be able to successfully integrate the operations and personnel of any new businesses into our business;

§
we will realize any anticipated benefits of completed acquisitions; or

§
there will be substantial unanticipated costs associated with acquisitions, including potential costs associated with environmental liabilities undiscovered at the time of acquisition.

§
In addition, future acquisitions by us may result in:

§
potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities;

§
the incurrence of additional debt;

12


§
restructuring charges; and

§
the recognition of significant charges for depreciation and amortization related to intangible assets.

We do not intend to pay any dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. 

We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, to finance our current and proposed business activities and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. We may also incur indebtedness in the future that may prohibit or effectively restrict the payment of cash dividends on our Common Stock.
 
We are not currently compliant with certain Sarbanes-Oxley Act standards. 

The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in July 2002 created a significant number of new corporate governance and internal control requirements.  Since our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCBB, it is not currently subject to a number of such requirements. Although we expect to implement the requisite changes to become compliant with existing requirements, and new requirements when they do apply to us, we may not be able to do so, or to do so in a timely manner. If we do not come into compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act corporate governance requirements, we may not be able to list our securities on either AMEX or Nasdaq markets in the event we ever attempt to do so.

Certain stockholders can exert control over the Company and may not make decisions that further the best interests of all stockholders. 

Our officers, directors and principal stockholders (greater than 5% stockholders) together will own an aggregate of approximately 72.47% of our outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis. Consequently, these stockholders, if they act individually or together, may exert a significant degree of influence over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change of control of us and might affect the market price of our Common Stock, even when a change of control may be in the best interest of all stockholders. Furthermore, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders, and accordingly, they could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements which we would not otherwise consider.

Our investors may lose their entire investment in our securities.

An investment in our securities is highly speculative and may result in the loss of the entire investment. Only potential investors who are experienced investors in high risk investments and who can afford to lose their entire investment should consider an investment in our securities.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

Corporate History

Unless otherwise indicated, or unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Annual Report to the terms “Company,” “CSZM,” “we,” “our,” or “us” mean China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

We are the result of a share exchange/reverse takeover among Earth Products & Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“EPTI”) with American Federal Mining Group, Inc., an Illinois company (hereinafter “AFMG”), and the shareholders of AFMG.  The effective date of the transaction was September 15, 2006.  Pursuant to the transaction, EPTI issued a total of 20,000,000 shares of common voting stock to AFMG Shareholders, in exchange for 100% of AFMG’s common stock.  The common stock was issued in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  This transaction will be accounted for as a reverse takeover (recapitalization) with AFMG deemed the acquirer for accounting purposes and EPTI the legal acquirer.

As a result of the share exchange/reverse takeover, AFMG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPTI, with EPTI, which previously had no material operations, becoming a holding company for the business of AFMG and its subsidiaries.  AFMG is a holding company, incorporated in Illinois, whose principal business is the ownership of entities in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) engaged in the acquisition, exploration, extraction and development of mining properties.

The share exchange/reverse takeover resulted in a change in voting control of EPTI.  The former shareholders of AFMG now hold a total of 20,000,000 shares of common stock, or approximately 94% of the outstanding common stock of EPTI, and the original EPTI shareholders now hold a total of 1,297,700 shares of common stock, or approximately 6% of the outstanding common stock.  At the closing, EPTI’s officers and directors resigned, and Xiao-Jing Yu was appointed as President of EPTI.   Effective October 20, 2006, EPTI changed its name to China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc.

AFMG owns all of the registered capital of Inner Mongolia Wulatehouqi Qianzhen Ore Processing Co., Ltd. (“Qianzhen Mining”), a limited liability company organized in the PRC.   Qianzhen Mining holds 67% of the registered capital of Inner Mongolia Xiangzhen Mining Group Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized in the PRC (“Xiangzhen Mining”), with the remaining 33% of the registered capital of Xiangzhen Mining being held by AFMG, thus effectively making Xiangzhen Mining a wholly-owned subsidiary of AFMG.  Xiangzhen Mining also holds 99% of the registered capital of Xinjiang Wuqia Tianzhen Mining Co., Ltd. (“Tianzhen Mining”), and the remaining 1% of Tianzhen Mining is held by Yu Xiao-Jing, President of AFMG, in trust for Qianzhen Mining.   Qianzhen Mining owns 60% of Wulatehouqi Qingshan Nonferrous Metal Development Co., Ltd. (“Qingshan Metal”).   The other 40% of Qingshan Metal is owned by several individual shareholders.   Xiangzhen Mining owns 80% of Xinjiang Buerjin County Xingzhen Mining Co., Ltd. (“Xingzhen Mining”).  The other 20% is owned by Xinjiang Tianxiang New Technology Development Co., Ltd.

We are a public company.  Our securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “CSZM.OB.”

Our executive offices are located at No. 166 Fushi Road, Zeyang Tower, Suite 305 Shijingshan District, Beijing, China 100043.  Our telephone number is 86-010-68867292.
 
Our Industry
 
Our primary business activity is mining, processing and distributing of fluorite ore, copper, zinc, lead, and other mineral products.  Along with China’s modernization drive, its economy has witnessed significant growth in the past three decades, which brought about a rapid growth in its manufacturing capacity. Moreover, due to its investment environment and cheap labor, China has attracted many manufacturers from the developed countries. The increasing industrial capacity of China has caused, and is anticipated to cause, a high level of demand for industrial raw materials including fluorite and nonferrous metals.
 
Fluorite is mainly used by the steel industry as a melting agent and the fluorite chemical industry to manufacture hydrofluoric acid, a widely used raw material for the chemical industry.  With a rapid growth of the steel industry and the chemical industry in China, the demand for fluorite and nonferrous metals has increased significantly.  China produced 2.6 million metric tons of fluorite ore in 2004, 2.9 million metric tons in 2005, and 3.0 million metric tons in 2006. About 76% of the annual output is for domestic consumption and 24% for export in 2006, according to the information published in the papers of the World Fluorite Conference of Shanghai and based on the estimates by China’s Fluorite Industry Association.  In 2010 the demand is expected to increase from 1.94 million to 2.25 million metric tons.  In recent years, large exports of fluorite and hydrofluoric acid have depleted fluorite resources in China.  In order to protect fluorite reserves, the Chinese government instituted an export quota system in 2001.

As a result of rapid economic development, the demand for nonferrous metals in China has also significantly increased in recent years.  According to the statistics of China’s Ministry of Land and Resources, China was only able to satisfy less than 40% of its demand for copper with domestic resources in 2006, and in 2010 the demand is expected to increase from 5.8 million to 6.5 million metric tons.  In 2005, China’s domestic consumption of zinc was 3.2 million metric tons, which exceeded its production of 2.78 million metric tons.

15


Due to limited natural resources, the prices for fluorite and nonferrous metals have increased in recent years.  According to the data of the Shanghai Future Exchange, the price for fluorite ore increased approximately 30% per year from 2004 to 2006.  The price of zinc increased 27% from 2004 to 2005 and over 90% from 2005 to 2006.  The price for copper increased 26% from 2004 to 2005 and over 65% from 2005 to 2006.

We expect the price of zinc and lead will continue to increase and the price of copper will remain high though it may experience significant fluctuations.

We anticipate the fluorite and nonferrous markets will provide excellent opportunities for us to grow.
 
Current Business Operations
 
Our primary business activity is mining, processing and distributing of fluorite ore, copper, zinc, lead, and other mineral products.  All of our business is conducted through our China-based subsidiaries.  We operate mines in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Xingjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, which are known for their rich reserves of high-grade minerals of fluorite, copper, lead and zinc. Regional human resources of general labor and specialized professional mining teams are available to us at a low cost.  We maintain good relationships with the local governments by providing employment opportunities to the people and tax revenues to the government.  We have also achieved strategic cooperative alliances with several large-scale domestic steel or chemical enterprises after years of experience and relationships in the mineral markets.  Such alliances combined with the large resources available on hand provide the Company with a competitive advantage over others in the same industry.

Description of Products

Fluorite:
We produce fluorite ore and refined fluorite powder.  Fluorite ore is mainly sold to steel companies such as Taiyuan Steel, Baotou Steel and Capital Steel.  In 2006, we produced approximately 51,000 metric tons of fluorite ore and had 17,000 metric tons of inventory.  Total sales were approximately US$4,340,000, accounting for approximately 82% of the revenues from our fluorite business.  Our refined fluorite is used mainly by fluorite chemical companies.  In 2006, we produced 14,800 metric tons of refined fluorite powder of which 12,800 metric tons was sold for approximately US$917,000, accounting for approximately 18% of our revenues from fluorite.  

16


Nonferrous:

We produce refined zinc powder, refined lead powder and refined copper powder.  We extract zinc-lead-copper ore and process it into these powders which are sold to metallurgical companies which in turn produce zinc, lead and copper ingots.  In 2006, we produced approximately 15,000 metric tons of refined zinc powder, 2,300 metric tons of refined lead powder and 790 metric tons of refined copper powder, which accounts for approximately 82.9%, 12.7% and 4.4% of our revenues from our nonferrous business, respectively.

Sales and Marketing

Currently, we do not have any marketing staff.  Our customers send their orders to us, usually with cash paid in advance.  Our in-house sales staff would then try to fill these orders based on our actual production level.  These customers have a long term relationship with us.  We expect this to continue for some time because we believe that the demand for mineral products will remain high for the foreseeable future.

Major Supplier

We have one major supplier.  During the year 2006, Wulatehouqi Zijin Mining Co., Ltd. was the only supplier of Qianzhen Mining’s raw minerals.  In 2006, Qianzhen Mining purchased approximately 134,000 metric tons of zinc-lead ore at a price of RMB 63 per ton and processed them into 14,000 metric tons of refined zinc powders and 1,900 metric tons of refined lead powder. In the first six month ended 30 June 2007, Wulatehouqi Zijin supplied approximately 14,000 tons of zinc ore to Qianzhen Mining. According to the supply contract between Wlatehouqi Zijin and the company, Wulatehouqi Zijin is still committed to provide additional 52,000 tons of zinc ores, which we expect to be supplied to Qianzhen Mining in 2007. Upon expiration of this supply contract, Qianzhen Mining will have to enter into a new supply contract with Wulatehouqi Zijin for zinc ores  at negotiated prices or secure ore supply from other third parties at market price. Qianzhen Mining even may have difficulties in securing zinc ore for its processing demand and his will have a significant negative impact on the company’s operations.

On 1st of July and 20th of September 2007, Qianzhen Mining entered into two supplimental agreements with Wulatehouqi Zijin that Wulatehouqi Zijin will provide Qianzhen Mining an additional 15,000 tons of zinc ores at the market price of RMB 589 per ton and that the price for the remaining amount of zinc ores (52,000 tons in aggregate) will be changed from current RMB 63 per ton to RMB 368 per ton effective from 1st of July 2007. This change in purchase price will increase the cost of zinc powder processed by approximately RMB 14 million for the second half of 2007 and 2008 in aggregate.

In 2006, Qingshan Metal produced on its own 41,000 metric tons of copper ores (processed into 790 metric tons of refined copper powder) and 5,500 metric tons of zinc-lead ores (supplied to Qianzhen Mining). In 2007, Qingshan Metals has applied to local government to increase the licensed area of extraction and the permit for exploration in potential areas. The management believe Qingshan Metals has the potential to supply to Qianzhen Mining mineralores for its processing demand.

Major Customers

In 2006, our revenues from our fluorite business and nonferrous business were $5.3 million and $17.1 million, respectively.

Business Strategy
 
Expansion of Production Capacity to Meet Demand
 
▼ Fluorite
 
We extracted approximately 68,000 metric tons of fluorite ore in 2006.  In 2007, we expect to extract 150,000 metric tons of fluorite ore.  In early 2006, we started a 300,000 metric ton fluorite ore project at Xiangzhen Mining.  In 2008, this project is expected to reach 70% of its designed annual capacity and by 2009, our Company is expected to have the capacity to extract 300,000 metric tons of fluorite ore per year.
 
We produced approximately 14,800 metric tons of refined fluorite powder in 2006.  In early 2006, we started to build a 200,000 metric ton/year fluorite ore processing plant in Sumochaganaobao. The new plant is expected to go into full production by the fourth quarter of 2007.  We expect to produce about 30,000 metric tons of refined fluorite powder in 2007.  In 2008, this project is expected to reach 70% of its designed annual capacity.  After completion of the project in 2009, we project that we will produce approximately 100,000 metric tons of refined fluorite powder.
 
▼Copper, Lead and Zinc
 
In 2006, Qianzhen Mining purchased approximately 130,000 metric tons of zinc-lead ore and processed them into 14,000 metric tons of refined zinc powders and 1,900 metric tons of refined lead powder.  In 2006, Qingshan Metal produced 41,000 metric tons of copper ores (to be turned into 790 metric tons of refined copper powder) and 5,500 metric tons of zinc-lead ore (supplied to Qianzhen Mining).   In 2007, Qianzhen Mining is expected to continue to purchase raw materials from third parties.  Qingshan Metal plans to produce 65,000 metric tons of copper-zinc ore.  Since its capacity is 70,000 metric tons, it may have to purchase copper-zinc ores from third parties.  Qingshan Metal is planning expand its extracting capacity in June 2007 and by April 2008, it is expected be able to produce 100,000 metric tons of copper ores per year which will supply Qianzhen Mining, and thereafter an additional 50,000 metric tons of zinc ore per year which Qingshan Metal itself will process.

In July 2006, we started to build a 200,000 metric ton/year zinc-copper ore mining and processing project at Keyinbulake Multi-Metal Mine in Buerjin County, Aletal Zone, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.  This project will initially go into production in early September of 2007 and will produce 5,000 metric tons zinc ore powder and 2,500 metric tons copper ore powder in 2007. In 2008, we expect to produce 200,000 metric tons of zinc and /or copper powder which will be processed into 14,000 metric tons zinc ore powder and 7,100 metric tons copper ore powder.

Increase Exploration Activities

Tianzhen Mining has just finished exploration activities at the Yangye Copper Mine & Huayuan Copper Mine and we expect to obtain a mining license from Xinjiang Bureau of Land and Resources by the end of 2007.

The Huayuan, Yangye and Yangshugou copper mines owns three properties situated in the same district with one prospecting license. We expect that there is a possibility to find more and high category mineral resources in this area. Once the mining license is issued, a general exploration program will be launched to upgrade the resource category and define the extensions of mineralization by drilling and tunneling. The budget for this program is shown in table 1-1. This exploration program is expected to be funded by the Company.

Acquire More Mineral Properties

To increase our potential reserve and ensure supply to our processing facilities, we plan to acquire domestic and foreign large-scale mines when the right opportunity arises in order to expand rapidly in the short term.  The Company is in the process of acquiring a gold-copper mine in Kyrgyzstan. We also expect to acquire additional nonferrous metal mines domestically which have good conditions and possess all necessary governmental licenses.

Expand into Down Stream Chemical Business

To increase the profit margin of our business, we may plan to expand into the fluorite chemical industry which enjoys a very high margin and a rapidly growing market through the acquisition of some fluorite chemical companies.

Competitive Advantages

We believe we have the following competitive advantages:

§
One of the best fluorite mines in China which has high purity fluorite minerals and good extracting conditions.
§
Experienced management team.  Most of our officers have more than 20 years of experience in this industry.
§
We have good relationships with local government agencies.
§
Compared to our competitors, we believe we possess relatively more exploration rights.
§
Many of our subsidiaries are located in the western part of China and therefore enjoy many preferential tax and regulatory policies.

Government Regulation

The following is a summary of the principal governmental laws and regulations that are or may be applicable to our operations in the PRC. The scope and enforcement of many of the laws and regulations described below are uncertain. We cannot predict the effect of further developments in the Chinese legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement of laws.

The mining industry, including certain exploration and mining activities, is highly regulated in the PRC. Regulations issued or implemented by the State Council, the Ministry of Land and Resources, and other relevant government authorities cover many aspects of exploration and mining of natural resources, including entry into the mining industry, the scope of permissible business activities, interconnection and transmission line arrangements, tariff policy and foreign investment.

The principal regulations governing the mining business in the PRC include:

§
China Mineral Resources Law, which requires a mining business to have exploration and mining licenses from provincial or local land and resources agencies.
 
§
China Mine Safety Law, which requires a mining business to have a safe production license and provides for random safety inspections of mining facilities.
 
§
China Environmental Law, which requires a mining project to obtain an environmental feasibility study of the project.
 
21

 
§
Foreign Exchange Controls. The principal regulations governing foreign exchange in the PRC are the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations (1996) and the Administration of Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange Regulations (1996), (“the Foreign Exchange Regulations”). Under the Foreign Exchange Regulations, Renminbi (“RMB”) is freely convertible into foreign currency for current account items, including the distribution of dividends. Conversion of RMB for capital account items, such as direct investment, loans and security investment, however, is still subject to the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”). Under the Foreign Exchange Regulations, foreign-invested enterprises are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. In addition, foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell and/or remit foreign currencies at those banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business after providing valid commercial documents and, in the case of capital account item transactions, obtaining approval from SAFE.
 
All of our operating subsidiaries in China have been authorized by land and resources departments of local governments.  Chinese regulations require that mining enterprises must procure an exploration or mining license from land and resource department of local governments before they can carry out exploration or mining activities. This license ensures that an enterprise follow proper procedures in its own exploring or mining activities and in selling its products to customers. We have secured the necessary exploration or mining licenses from local governments.  Most of our mining companies possess exploration or mining licenses and some of them are applying for mining licenses after exploration.
 
Chinese regulations also require that a mining company must have a safety certification from the PRC Administration of Work Safety before it can engage in mining and extracting activities. All of our operating subsidiaries have obtained safety certification from the Administration of Work Safety of local governments.   In addition, all of our operating subsidiaries have passed government safety inspections.
 
We also have been granted environmental certification from the PRC Bureau of Environmental Protection.

Employees

As of December 31, 2006, we employed 463 full-time employees, of whom approximately 18% are with Qianzhen Mining, 56% are with Xiangzhen Mining, 8% are with Tianzhen Mining (nonferrous copper, zinc, lead and other ore mining and processing), 13% are with Qingshan Metal (copper and zinc ore mining) and 5% are with Xingzhen Mining (holding exploration rights). Approximately 18% of our employees are management personnel, and 3% are sales and procurement staff.  In terms of education level, 8.5% of our employees have a college degree or higher.

Under Chinese law, our employees have formed trade unions which protect employees’ rights, aim to assist in the fulfillment of our economic objectives, encourage employee participation in management decisions and assist in mediating disputes between us and union members. We believe that we maintain a satisfactory working relationship with our employees and we have not experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulty in recruiting staff for our operations.

As required by applicable Chinese law, we have entered into employment contracts with all of our employees. We have also entered into a confidentiality agreement with all of our employees under which such employees are prohibited from disclosing confidential information of the Company or using it for other purposes than the benefit of the Company. Directors, officers, mid-level managers and some key employees in sales and R&D are required to sign a non-compete agreement which prohibits them from competing with the Company while they are employees of the Company and within two years after their employment with the Company is terminated.

22

 
Our employees in China participate in a state pension arrangement organized by Chinese municipal and provincial governments. We are required to contribute to the arrangement at the rate of 20% of the average monthly salary. In addition, we are required by Chinese law to cover employees in China with other types of social insurance. Our total contribution may amount to 30% of the average monthly salary. We have purchased social insurance for all of our employees. Expense related to social insurance was approximately $29,335, for fiscal year 2006

OVERVIEW

We are principally engaged in the exploration, development, mining, and processing of fluorite, zinc, lead, copper, and other nonferrous metals, through our subsidiaries in the PRC.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

Expansion of Production Capacity to Meet Demand
 
▼ Fluorite
 
We extracted approximately 68,000 metric tons of fluorite ore in 2006.  In 2007, we expect to extract 150,000 metric tons of fluorite ore.  In early 2006, we started a 300,000 metric ton fluorite ore project at Xiangzhen Mining.  In 2008, this project will reach 70% of its designed annual capacity and by 2009, our Company will have the capacity to extract 300,000 metric tons of fluorite ore per year.
 
We produced approximately 14,800 metric tons of refined fluorite powder in 2006.  In early 2006, we started to build a 200,000 metric ton/year fluorite ore processing plant in Sumochaganaobao. The new plant will go into full production by the fourth quarter of 2007.  We expect to produce about 30,000 metric tons of refined fluorite powder in 2007.  In 2008, this project will reach 70% of its designed annual capacity.  After completion of the project in 2009, we project that we will produce approximately 100,000 metric tons of refined fluorite.
 
23

 
▼Copper, Lead and Zinc
 
In 2006, Qianzhen Mining purchased approximately 130,000 metric tons of zinc-lead ore and turned them into 14,000 metric tons of refined zinc powders and 1,900 metric tons of refined lead powder.  In 2006, Qingshan Metal produced 41,000 metric tons of copper ore (to be turned into 790 metric tons of refined copper powder) and 5,500 metric tons of zinc-lead ore (supplied to Qianzhen Mining).   In 2007, Qianzhen Mining will continue to purchase raw materials from third parties.  Qingshan Metal plans to produce 65,000 metric tons of copper-zinc ore.  Since its capacity is 70,000 metric tons, it may have to purchase copper-zinc ore from third parties.  Qingshan Metal will expand its extracting capacity in June 2007 and by April 2008, it will be able to produce 100,000 metric tons of copper ore per year which will supply Qianzhen Mining, and thereafter an additional 50,000 metric tons of zinc ore per year which Qingshan Metal itself will process.

In July 2006, we started to build a 200,000 metric ton/year zinc-copper ore mining and processing project at Keyinbulake Multi-Metal Mine in Buerjin County, Aletal Zone, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.  This project will initially go into production in early September of 2007 and will produce 5,000 metric tons zinc ore powder and 2,500 metric tons copper ore powder in 2007. In 2008, we expect to produce 200,000 metric tons of zinc and /or copper powder which will be processed into 14,000 metric tons zinc ore powder and 7,100 metric tons copper ore powder.

Increase Exploration Activities

Tianzhen Mining has just finished exploration activities at the Yangye Copper Mine & Huayuan Copper Mine and we expect to obtain a mining license from Xinjiang Bureau of Land and Resources by the end of 2007.

The Huayuan, Yangye and Yangshugou copper mines owns three properties situated in the same district with one prospecting license. We expect that there is a possibility to find more and high category mineral resources in this area. Once the mining license is issued, a general exploration program will be launched to upgrade the resource category and define the extensions of mineralization by drilling and tunneling. The budget for this program is shown in table 1-1.

Currently, our company is conducting exploration activities in Wuzunagen Lead & Zinc Mine and Jiangejier Lead & Zinc Mine owned by Tianzhen Mining. We plan to further increase exploration activities there to update resource category and extend mineralization layer. The exploration plan and budget is shown in table 1-2. We signed a contract with Xinjiang Nonferrous Geology Prospecting Bureau to do the exploration work for us and we expect to complete a reserve evaluation report which is a requirement for applying for mining licenses for these two mines in 2007.

Acquire More Mineral Properties

To increase our reserve and insure supply to our processing facilities, we plan to acquire domestic and foreign large-scale mines when the right opportunities arises in order to expand rapidly in the short term.  The Company is in the process of acquiring a gold-copper mine in Kyrgyzstan.  We also expect to acquire additional nonferrous metal mines domestically which have good conditions and possess all necessary governmental licenses.

Expand into Down Stream Chemical Business

To increase the profit margin of our business, we may plan to expand into the fluorite chemical industry which enjoys a very high margin and a rapidly growing market through the acquisition of some fluorite chemical companies.

RECAPITALIZATION AND REORGANIZATION

On July 14, 2006, American Federal Mining Group, Inc. (“AFMG”, the then holding company of China Shenzhou’s PRC subsidiaries) completed the terms of a stock exchange agreement with Earth Products & Technologies, Inc. (“EPTI”).  Pursuant to the stock exchange agreement, and as instructed by the Company, EPTI issued 20,000,000 shares of its common stock, of which 17,687,000 shares were issued to shareholders of AFMG, 1,013,000 shares to management of AFMG and 1,300,000 shares to the financial advisors of AFMG, in exchange for a 100% equity interest in AFMG, making AFMG a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPTI.  

The above stock exchange transaction resulted in those shareholders of AFMG obtaining a majority voting interest in EPTI. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America require that the Company whose shareholders retain the majority interest in a combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Consequently, the stock exchange transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of AFMG as AFMG acquired a controlling equity interest in EPTI as of September 15, 2006. The reverse acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of EPTI and the assets and liabilities of AFMG recorded at historical cost. Although AFMG is deemed to be the acquiring corporation for financial accounting and reporting purposes, the legal status of EPTI as the surviving corporation did not change.  

Subsequent to completion of the reverse takeover transaction, on October 5, 2006, EPTI changed its name to China Shen Zhou Mining and Resources, Inc.

ACQUISITIONS IN 2006

Qingshan Metal

On April 27, 2006, we completed the acquisition of a 60% ownership interests in Qingshan Nonferrous Metal Development Co., Ltd. (“Qingshan Metal”). Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Qingshan Metal shareholders received an aggregate consideration of approximately $2.561 million. Qingshan Metal has been granted the mining right certificate for a copper-zinc-lead mine in Wulatehouqi by the Ministry of Land and Resources of the PRC with a current term from October 2005 to October 2008.

We consider the stable and sufficient supply of raw zinc and copper minerals to be one of the critical success factors of Qianzhen Mining’s ore-dressing operations.  Qingshan Metal is well established and owns considerable copper and zinc reserves.  Moreover, its location is not far away from Qianzhen Mining. We believe that the acquisition of Qingshan Metal is to the benefit of the Company and the shareholders.

Xingzhen Mining

On April 28, 2006, we completed the acquisition of an 80% ownership interest in Xingzhen Mining from Mr. Li Leyi. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Mr. Li received an aggregate consideration of approximately $3.587 million.  

Xingzhen Mining holds the exploration right to the Xinjiang Buejin Kerbulaiker Copper-Zinc Mine, which expired on July 14, 2006. The Kerbulaiker Copper-Xinc Mine is considered by experts to have quality copper and zinc reserves.

Given the continued increase in the trading price of nonferrous metals, we believe that the acquisition of Xingzhen Mining will enable the Company to capture business opportunities in the future.

As of the date of this report, Xingzhen Mining is in the final process of applying for the extraction rights  for the Kerbulaiker Copper-Xinc Mines. We believe that as soon as the extraction rights are issued by the PRC Government, it can commence extraction of copper and zinc ore.

The above two acquisitions were significant to the Company. The significance tests indicate that Qingshan Metal does not meet the 20% threshold of significance and hence financial statements are not required. Xingzhen Mining’s income test exceeds 40%, so pursuant to Item 310(c)(3) of Regulation S-B, financial statements shall be furnished for the most recent fiscal year and any interim periods. However, Xingzhen was established in April 10,2006 so it does not have prior-year financial statements.

NET REVENUE. As a result of capital investments in Inner Mongolia Wulatehouqi Qianzhen Ore-Processing Co., Ltd (“Qianzhen”), the processing capacity of nonferrous metals and ore dressing increased significantly. The amount of for refined zinc powder produced for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were, 4,600 tons and 6,400 tons, respectively, representing a 38 % increase. Other than improved production capacity, the average market price of refined zinc powder in PR China increased from $600 per ton to $1730 per ton representing a 188% increase. The additional capacity and the market price increase for refined zinc powder together contributed to the increase of net revenue by approximately $4.8 million, representing a 167.7% increase

28

 
GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS PROFIT MARGIN.  For the six months ended June 30, 2006, gross profit was $4.7 million, representing an increase of approximately $4.1 million as compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Gross profit increase was primarily due to the significant increase in production quantity as mentioned above. As the production quantity increased, by achieving economy of scale, gross profit increased significantly. Gross profit margin increased by 40.1% to 61.2% for the six months end June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005 due mainly to the increased market price of refined zinc powder, which increased approximately 188%.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million to approximately $0.77 million for the six months ended June 30 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005. The increase in the production and sales activities caused an increase in the Company’s administrative expenses. The increase was mainly attributable to the increased staffing cost and consulting fees associated with corporate restructure and reverse takeover transactions.

INTEREST EXPENSE. The interest expense decreased from $161,000 to $129,000, representing a 20% decrease, which was mainly due to the repayment of short term bank loans.

NET INCOME.  Net profit for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $3.7 million, whereas net profit for the corresponding period of 2005 was only $0.017 million. The increase in net income was primarily due to i) increased gross profit of $4.7 million associated with the improved refined zinc powder sales and profitability, ii) the decrease in interest expenses as a result of the repayment of short term bank loans.

NET REVENUE. Net revenue increased 39.4% from $5.05 million to $7.05 million. This increase was mainly attributable to an average market price increase of zinc powder of 55% from $560 per ton in 2004 to $870 in 2005, as well as a slight increase of 7.4% in the amount of refined zinc powder sold in 2005 as compared to 2004.
 
29

 
GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS PROFIT MARGIN. For the year ended December 31, 2005, gross profit was $2.76 million, representing an increase of approximately $1.12 million as compared to $1.64 million for the year ended December 31,2004. Gross profit margin increased by 6.7%, reflecting a gross margin of 39.1% for fiscal year 2005 as compared to 32.4% for 2004. The increase in gross profit margins is mainly attributable to the average market price increase as mentioned above.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses increased by $408,000 from $721,000 for 2004 to $1,129,000 for2005.  General and administrative expense as a percentage of sales increased from 14.3% for 2004 to 16% for 2005.  This unfavorable increase was mainly attributable to an increase in salaries and benefits for administrative staff, and depreciation and amortization expenses.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $650,000 to $1,263,000 for 2005 compared to $613,000 for 2004.  At the end of 2004, the Company purchased over $2 million additional mineral rights to enhance operations. The additional depreciation expenses for the new mineral rights significantly increased the depreciation and amortization expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSE.  The interest expense increased from $147,000 in 2004 to $320,000 in 2005, representing a 117.7% increase, which is mainly due to the increase of short term bank loans in the year 2005. The average short term bank loans outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $3.55 million and $2.57 million, respectively.

Non-ferrous metals
 
Non-ferrous metals segment revenue increased significantly by 70% from $2.8 million for 2004 to $4.8 million for 2005, due to expansion of production facility and capacity. In line with increased sales, segment profit also increased by 144% from $0.6 million for 2004 to $1.5 million for 2005.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents were $0.71 million as of June 30, 2006, representing a increase of $0.3 million as compared to a balance of $0.42 million as of December 31, 2005. The increase in cash position was mainly due to net cash generated from operating activities for $4.8 million. With the improvement in operating activities, especially the processing operations, the Company believes that it can continue to generate adequate financial resources from its operation to fund its business operations and expansion plan for the foreseeable future.
 
30


Net cash generated from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $4,840,000 million whereas net cash from operating activities was $1,568,000 for the same period of 2005. Cash flow from operations during 2006 was enhanced by the increase in gross profit as a result of expansion of production facilities and the rising market price of refined zinc powder.

Net cash used in investing activities during the six month ended June 30 2006 was mainly reflected in: i) the acquisition of Qingshan Nonferrous Metal Development Co., Ltd and Xinjiang Buerjin County Xingzhen Mining Co., Ltd. for $2.31 million and; ii) the purchase of land, mineral rights, plant and equipment for $1.77 million by Tianzhen Mining and Xiangzhen Mining.

Net cash used in financing activities during the second quarter of 2006 mainly consists of repayment of bank borrowings during the period in order to reduce borrowing interest from short term bank loans.

ENVIRONMENTAL

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various PRC laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believes its operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. The Company’s mining operations are subject to “Natural Resource Compensation Charges”, but the charging rate varies in different cities in the PRC.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, Natural Resource Compensation Charges of $115,810 and $30,543, respectively, were charged to operations and included in cost of sales.  For more information, please see Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have not formed any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.

INFLATION

The Company does not foresee any adverse effects on its earnings as a result of inflation.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
31

 
An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimates are made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements.  We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Management believes that the following reflect the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Property, Plant and Mine Development

Expenditures for new facilities or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the estimated productive lives, which do not exceed the related estimated mine lives, of such facilities based on mineralized material.

Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When extraction rights are obtained from the government in accordance with mining industry practice in the PRC, costs incurred prospectively to develop the property are capitalized as incurred and are amortized using the units-of-production (“UOP”) method over the estimated life of the mineralized material based on estimated recoverable tons through the end of the period over which the Company has extraction rights. At the Company’s surface mines, these costs include costs to further delineate the mineralized material and remove overburden to initially expose the mineralized material. At the Company’s underground mines, these costs include the cost of building access ways, shaft sinking and access, lateral development, drift development, ramps and infrastructure development.

Major development costs incurred after the commencement of production are amortized using the UOP method based on estimated recoverable tons through the end of the period over which the Company has extraction rights. To the extent that these costs benefit the entire mineralized body, they are amortized over the estimated life of the mineralized body. Costs incurred to access specific ore blocks or areas that only provide benefit over the life of that area are amortized over the estimated life of that specific ore block or area.

Interest cost allocable to the cost of developing mining properties and to constructing new facilities, if any, is capitalized until assets are ready for their intended use.

Asset Impairment

Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill, if any. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable metals, corresponding expected commodity prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), production levels and operating costs of production and capital, all based on life-of-mine plans. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves are included when determining the fair value of mine site reporting units at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable metals” refers to the estimated amount of gold or other commodities that will be obtained after taking into account losses during ore processing and treatment. Estimates of recoverable metals from such exploration stage metal interests are risk adjusted based on management’s relative confidence in such materials. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable metals, gold and other commodity prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Goodwill

The Company evaluates, on at least an annual basis, the carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. To accomplish this, the Company compares the estimated fair value of its reporting units to their carrying amounts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is charged to earnings. The Company’s fair value estimates are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual fair value will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and other commodity prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Stock Based Compensation

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award. SFAS No. 123R was to be effective for interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 15, 2005, but in April 2005 the SEC issued a rule that will permit most registrants to implement SFAS No. 123R at the beginning of their next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period as required by SFAS No. 123R. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted *under SFAS No. 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. Under SFAS No. 123R, the Company must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The transition methods include prospective and retroactive adoption options. Under the retroactive option, prior periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods presented. The prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS No. 123R, while the retroactive methods would record compensation expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with the first period restated. The Company has adopted the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2006, and recorded the compensation expense for all unvested stock options existing prior to the adoption during the period.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statements No 3.  SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. Accounting Principles Boards ("APB") Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of  changing to the new accounting   principle. SFAS No. 154 requires that a change in method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting   estimate that is affected by a change in accounting principle. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that such a change be reported as a change in accounting principle. The Company adopted SFAS No. 154 on January 1, 2006.  The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 154 had no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
33

 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets-amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS No. 153 eliminates the exception to fair value for exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchange transactions that do not have commercial substance, defined as transactions that are not expected to result in significant changes in the cash flows of the reporting entity. This statement is effective for exchanges of non-monetary assets occurring after June 15, 2005.  The adoption of SFAS No. 153 had had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September, 2004, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-2, Application of FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to Oil- and Gas-Producing Entities. This statement is effective for the first reporting period beginning after the issuance date and clarifies that the costs for acquiring contractual mineral rights in oil and gas properties would continue to be recorded as those for tangible assets.  It also addresses that the scope exception within SFAS 142 for the accounting as prescribed in SFAS 19 extends to the balance sheet classification and disclosures for drilling and mineral rights of oil- and gas-producing entities.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 requires that certain abnormal costs associated with the manufacturing, freight, and handling costs associated with inventory be charged to current operations in the period in which they are incurred. The adoption of SFAS 151 had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows

On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment- Revised 2004,” using the modified prospective transition method.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). This interpretation prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 (i.e., the beginning of our fiscal year 2007). We do not expect that the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value instruments.  SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (our fiscal 2008). We believe that implementation of SFAS 157 will have little or no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
34

 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires plan sponsors of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans (collectively, “postretirement benefit plans”) to fully recognize the funded status of their postretirement benefit plans in the statement of financial position, measure the fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the fiscal year-end statement of financial position and provide additional disclosures.  We believe that implementation of SFAS 157 will have little or no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements since we have no applicable plans,.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires that we quantify misstatements based on their impact on each of our financial statements and related disclosures. On December 30, 2006, we adopted SAB 108. Our adoption of SAB 108 did not impact our financial statements.

CONCENTRATION OF CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS

During the year 2006, Wulatehouqi Zijin was the only supplier of Qianzhen Mining’s raw minerals. Bayannaoer Zijin Nonferrous Metal Co., Ltd. (“Bayannaoer Zijin”, a related company of Wulatehouqi Zijin) was one of the major customers of Qianzhen Mining which contributed approximately $5,690,000 or 25.4% of the Company’s consolidated net turnover.  In addition to the aforementioned, our nonferrous metal product business had another significant customer which accounted for approximately $7,907,000 or 35.3% of our consolidated net turnover in 2006.

The mineral rights in China are categories into two types as exploration right and mining right, separately, where:
 
 
o
Exploration right is the right for exploring mineral resources within the areas authorized by the exploration license.  
 
o
Mining right is the right for exploitation of mineral resources and produce mineral products.

According to the Chinese law, an exploration license is generally valid for 3 years and can be extended not more than 2 times with each not exceeding two years. The mining license is usually valid in China for up to 10, 20 and 30 years corresponding to small scaled, medium scaled, and large scaled deposit or mine, respectively. The mining license can be renewed with the increased area and longer validation period subject to relevant regulations. Application for renewal needs to be submitted at least 30 days before the expiration date of the existing mining license.

Mining License Description

Inner Mongolia Xiangzhen Mining Group Co Ltd. (Xiangzhen) holds the mining license of the area between prospecting line 21 and line 04 of Sumochagan Aobao Fluorite Deposit. The mining license Number is 1526000220071 with a Temporary Extension No. 1526000630047 which was issued by Wulanchabu City Bureau of Land and Resources in Inner Mongolia and had expired on May 2007.  Xiangzhen has lodged an application to Inner Mongolia Bureau of Land and Resources for renewing the mining license and the new mining license is expected to be obtained soon.

Previous Exploration and Development

In 1975, No.1 geological survey brigade of Inner Mongolia conducted a 1/200,000 geological survey in this area and found Sumochagan Aobao Fluorite deposit. The subsequent resource estimated was completed and 1.716 million tonnes fluorite ore was defined at that time.

From 1981 to 1987, the No.102 geological brigade of Inner Mongolia conducted a exploration program in more detailed level and submitted a geological report entitled “Geological Report of Sumochagan Aobao Fluorite Deposit of Siziwangqi, Inner Mongolia ” in 1987. 

The deposit was extracted by a company which was owned by the local government in 1978. The company was renamed as North Fluorite Group Corporation Ltd in 1997 and then the mining right was purchased by Xiangzhen Mining Group Ltd.

Mining Operation

Before 1997, the open pit mining was used and the pit was 58m deep with an elevation of 1065-1007m.

Since 2002, the underground mining had been conducted. Shrinkage method was used for the ore of high grade and the sublevel caving method proposed for ore of low grade. The designed mining capacity of the Sumochagan Aobao Fluorite Mine is 80,000t/a. The power supply is diesel generator and water supply for production and living is obtained from ground water.

The major equipment in the mine are comprised of 4 sets of compressors (20m³), 10 sets of z-20w rock loaders, 8 sets of electric locomotives (8 tonnes), 130 sets of V-type mine cars (0.75m³), ventilation fans, power transformers and so on.

Ore Processing

The fluorite ores are transported by trucks from the mine into the processing plant with an annual treatment capacity of 60,000 tonnes. The process includes a two-stage closed crushing with primary and secondary grindings, one stage of roughing flotation, one stage of scavenging, and six stages of cleaning, and is then followed by thickening, filtrating and drying, and finally packing for delivery. The major facilities consist of ball mill workshop, flotation workshop, press and filtration workshop, concentrate pools, tailings dams, laboratory, electronic scales, water supply wells, power supply lines and offices, etc. And the major equipments are jaw-type crushers (2 sets, 250x400mm and 150x750mm), ball mills (3 sets, 1.5mx3m and 1.5mx4m), 4m³flotation machines (29 sets), Φ12m thickeners (1 set), classifiers (2 sets), 20m²filters, power transformers and power distribution panels and so on.

The concentrator is located at about 45km southeast of the mine area. The concentrate recovery is 83% and the grade of fluorite concentrate is over 95%. Since 2006, a new concentrator with the design capacity of 200,000 tonnes per year was built just next to the fluorite mine, within which new process and new equipment would be utilized.

The main component of fluorite ore is CaF2, which is a useful and valuable in fluorine chemical, and for steel making as an impregnate, glass making and as additive, which has a wide market prospect and market demand.

Property Geology

Sumochagan Aobao fluorite deposit is located in the Suniteyou Banner Fold Zone in late-Varican, Inner Mongolia Fold Belt. The main strata in the property are comprised of late Paleozoic lower Permian System Xilimiao Formation (P1xl) which includes three sequences of P1xl2-4, P1xl3, and P1xl4-1, Proterozoic Ailegemiao Formation and Jurassic Chagannoer group. The fluorite mineralized body and mineralized marble occurred in the lower of P1xl3 and on the top of P1xl2-4.

The mineralized body strikes 40°-60°, dips to 310°-330° at an angle 21°-47°, with stable, continual bedded shape as well as it is 1100m long and 0.52-22.48m thick with the largest extension of 1540m. The economic mineral is fluorite only, which main composition is CaF2 and the gangue minerals are comprised of quartz, chlorite and sericite. According to the level of grade, the mineralized body divided into high grade mineralized material (rich ore) which CaF2 is more than 60%, and low grade mineralized material (lean ore) which CaF2 is from 20-60%.
 
39

 
Resource

In 1987, No. 102102 Geological Brigade of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region submitted the “Geological Report of Sumochaganaobao Fluorite Deposit of Siziwangqi, Inner Mongolia ”.  The Inner Mongolia Geology Mining Bureau examined and approved the resource in the Sumochaganaobao Fluorite Deposit in the report by issuing the document No. Nei-Di(1987)No. 115 on October 23, 1987.  The bureau of land and resource of Wulanchabu City commissioned the Land-resources Institute of Inner Mongolia to verify the resources in the Mining License area.  The Institute submitted “the Verification Report of Resources between Prospecting line 21 and 04, of Sumochaganaobao Fluorite Deposit in Siziwangqi, Inner Mongolia”.  The “Consulting Center of the China Mining Association” had reviewed and assessed the verification report and recognized the resources statement in the report where the indicated resource (332) is 2.509 million tons of fluorite with the average grade of CaF2 at 63.24%.

The parameters used in resources/reserve estimate are set forth below:
 
 
o
lean ore: lowest grade(CaF2) ≥30%, minimum minable thickness 1m, and maximal band thickness >2m;
 
o
Rich ore: grade (CaF2) ≥65%, (S) <1%, minimum minable thickness 0.7m, and band thickness 2m;

The criterion of Barite, fluorite and Boron Exploration was implemented in the estimate of resources.

Sampling, Analytical Procedures and Quality Control

The samples were taken by splitting the core into half which one half is collected as the sample, and other half was stored in core box. Sample length was usually varying fro, 0.5m to 1.5 m and core recovery is over 85%.
 
Trenching samples were collected along 10cm wide and 5cm deep channels in fresh rock in the wall of adits and each sample was 1-2m in length.
 
Samples are crushed by three jaw crushers step-by-step to 0.9mm in size and then are split. About 500 grams of each sample is sent for pulverization and the rest would be kept as coarse rejects. To the samples of this project, 100 grams of each pulp sample is sent to the lab for assaying and the rest is stored. Items of CaF2, CaCO3, SiO2, Fe2O3 and S are assayed in the lab.
 
Assaying of samples was completed in the laboratory of the No.102 geological brigade of Inner Mongolia and was checked by the Central Laboratory of Bureau of Geology Inner Mongolia. Internal and external check samples were assayed, 95% of samples were sent for internal check and 6.4% for external check. The eligible rate of the checking samples was above 95%. The criterion of Barite, Fluorite and Boron Exploration was also implemented in sample assaying.

Potential for Further Exploration
 
In China, Categories 331 and 332 resources in the deposit may be based on for mine plan, and do not need further geological exploration. Category 333 need to be upgraded to Category 331 or 332 by the implementation of additional geological exploration which could be carried out by adits of mine tunnel. There is a low potential to find new mineralized body or extensions of existing mineralized body since the deposit is well defined and well understood by geologists.

Categorization of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves in China

The system for the categorisation of mineral resources and ore reserves in China is in a period of transition which commenced in 1999. The traditional system uses five categories based on decreasing levels of geological confidence - Categories A, B, C, D and E. The new system promulgated by the Ministry of Land & Resources (MLR) in 1999 uses three-dimensional matrices, based on economic, feasibility assessment and geological degrees of confidence. These are categorised by a three-digit code in the form of “123”. This new system is derived from the UN Framework Classification proposed for international use. All new projects in China must comply with the new system.

The resources in this description was estimated based on old system and was checked against the new one.

In China, the methods used to estimate the resources and reserves are generally prescribed by the criterion or standard which are approved by the relevant government authority, and are based on the level of knowledge for that particular geological style of deposit. The resource classification categories are assigned largely on the basis of the spacing of sampling, trenching, underground tunnels and drill holes. The parameters and computational methods are also prescribed by the criterion and standard including cut-off grades, minimum minable thickness, maximum thickness of band, and average minimum ‘industrial’ or ‘economic’ grades required.
 
No. 2 Mine of Qingxing Copper Mine

Location, Access and Physiography

No 2 Mine of the Qingxing is located at Sandaoqi Town, Wulatehou Banner, Inner Mongolia of China and is defined by E106°45′15″~106°45′45″ and N40°57′14″~40°57′45″.

Property Geology

Geologically, Qingxing Copper Mine is located at west part of the Langshan-Baiyunebo geotectogene, north boundary of North China Platform. The main strata in the mine area are Zhaetaishan Formation member II (Pt2zh2) and member III (Pt2zh3).  
 
The Zhaetaishan member II (Pt2zh21) bottom section: lower part consisted of carbonaceous phyllite; carbonaceous slate inter-bedded calcareous chlorite schist, chlorite quartz schist and lens of crystal carbonate; the upper part consisted of biotitic quartz schist, andalusite-mica schist and bearing-carbon mica quartz schist. (Pt2zh22) medium section: carbonaceous slate, carbonaceous phyllite, banded carbonaceous quartzite, bearing-carbon quartzite, dark quartzite and tremolite, diopsidite as well as other stone rocks. The mineralized body all occurred in this member. (Pt2zh23) top section: mica quartz shist, carbonaceous mica quartz shist, carbonaceous phyllitic quartz shist.
 
The Zhaetaishan member III (Pt2zh3) bottom section: quartz shist, sheet quartzite. (Pt2zh32) top section: middle-thick quartzite inter-bedded thin quartzite.  
 
The strata occur in monocline with the striking in southwest 220-260, dip to northwest 300-320 with the dip angle 30-89. The all faults took place after the mineralized body formed, which destroyed the bodies.  
 
The mineralized body is hidden deposit with gossans and strictly controlled by the stratum. There are two mineralization zones found, No.3 mineralization zone and No.5 mineralization zone. No.3 zone situated in north of the property, which length is 500m and width 10-30m. in there the mineralized body 1-Cu-1 and 2-Zn-1, 3- Zn -2 were defined. No.5 zone situated in middle-south of the property with length 850m, width 10-40m, and mineralized body 4- Cu-2, 5 Zn-3 as well as 6 Zn-4 were defined.     
 
The main minerals are chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite and pyrite. The main gangue is quartz, calcite and chlorite.

Resources
 
No. 511 Brigade of Nonferrous Geological Exploration Bureau estimated and verified the resources of the property, and the estimate results are: the mined Cu ore 217,200 tons, Cu metal 1661.10ton. The accumulated total mineral (Cu + Zn) resource is 2.46 million tons.
 
The parameters used in estimate are shown as follows, it is determined based on the criterion of Copper, Lead, Zinc, Silver, Nickel and Molybdenum Exploration of China (T0214-2002).
 
Cu mineralized body: cut-off grade: low Cu ≥0.4%, minimum minable ≥1m and maximum band ≥2m.
 
Useful component accompany: Pd ≥0.2%, Zn≥ 0.4% and S≥ 1%.
 
Zn mineralized body: cut-off grade: Zn ≥ 1%, minimum minable ≥1m and maximum band ≥2m.     
 
Useful component accompany: Cu ≥0.06%, Ag≥ 2g/t and S≥ 4%.
 
In general, the majority of resources with category 332 or higher can be converted into probable reserve once a proper feasibility study has been conducted. In the current case, as the economic cut-off grade of ore in the feasibility study is the same as the geological cut-off grade while not based on economic evaluation and mine design, the conversion simply can not be performed. As such, the reserve has to be treated as zero unfortunately. The company is now considering carrying out a proper feasibility study that will be in compliance with the guide 7 of AMEX.

Sampling, Analytical Procedures and Quality Control

The samples were taken by splitting the core into half which one half is collected as the sample, and other half was stored in core box. Sample length was usually 0.5m to 1.0 m and core recovery is over 75%.
 
Trenching samples were collected along 10cm wide and 5cm deep channels in fresh rock in the wall of adits and each sample was 1-2m in length.
 
Assaying of samples was completed in the laboratory of the No.511 Brigade of Nonferrous Geological Exploration Bureau and check by the Central Laboratory of Bureau of Geology Inner Mongolia. For copper and nickel assays, 9.5% of samples were sent for inner checking and 6.4% for external checking. The eligible rate of the checking samples was above 95%.
 
Potential for Further Exploration

In the mining process, two mining tunnels in 1390m and in 1350m level intercepted Cu-2 mineralized body and increased the control degree. If further exploration will conduct in the future, more mineral resources could be defined, such as drilling will upgrade part of the resources to Category 332. Underground exploration (associated mining operation) should upgrade the resource level, and disclose the extension the mineralization in depth.

Figure 2-4: Index Map of Huayuan Copper Project

The property is defined by E74º56′23″ ~ 87º9’30” and N39º41’38”~39°42′02″, as well as the area covers 1.08km2 as shown in Figure 2-4. Access to the area is convenient by a simple road to Kangsu Town which connected Wuqia County through a highway way, and then a national highway to Kashi City, a major city in the region. The climate over the area is typical continent with rare precipitation and high evaporation. The topography is characterized by middle-high mountains with the elevations of 1900-2200m above the sea level.

Property Geology

The property is located in Kushiweike syncline of the Nantianshan boundary geotectogene and strata spread over the area consist of Paleocene to Pliocene strata which includes purple-red mud stone, silt stone and grey-yellow calcareous sand stone as well as grey-green granule-middle calcareous sand stone. Copper mineralization occurs in light grey granule-middle grain calcareous sand stone of which strike, dip and thickness are extremely different in different place.

The No. 2 Geological Brigade of the Bureau of Geology and Mining, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region conducted a prospecting project during the period of April-June 2006. Mineralized bodyⅠ-1,Ⅰ-2 and Ⅰ-4, strike 75°-255° and dip to north at 17°-27° , were defined within a copper mineralization belt which numbered Mineralization Ⅰ in Huayuan area.

Mineralized body Ⅰ, Ⅱ-1, Ⅱ-2, Ⅱ-3, Ⅱ-4, Ⅱ-5 and Ⅱ-6 within two copper mineralization belt which numbered were defined in Yangshugou area.

In Yangye area, two copper mineralization belts were discovered which numbered Mineralization Ⅰ and Mineralization Ⅱ. Mineralized bodiesⅠ-1 andⅠ-2 were defined in mineralizationⅠ and mineralized bodyⅡ-1 and Ⅱ-2 were defined in mineralization Ⅱ, respectively.

Four mineralized bodies were defined in the Jiangejier Pb-Zn property. Main minerals are galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, malachite, pyrite, limonite and hematite. The main gangues are quartz, feldspar, calcite and chlorite.

The metallic minerals consist of malachite, cuprite, chalcocite and little natural copper and main gangue is quartz. This deposit can be determined as sedimentary type according to the present research.
 
Parameters for Resources Estimates
 
The parameters used in estimate are based on the criterion of Copper, Lead, Zinc, Silver, Nickel and Molybdenum Exploration of China (T0214-2002) and associated with the property practical condition. Cut-off grade of Cu used for resource estimate is 0.5% and minimum minable thickness is 1m with maximum band of 2m.

Sampling, Analytical Procedures and Quality Control

The samples were taken by splitting the core into half which one half is collected as the sample, and other half was stored in core box. Sample length was usually 0.5m to 1.5 m and core recovery is over 80%.
 
Samples were crushed by three stages of crushing, and then 0.5kg of each sample was pulverized to -160mesh, then 50g of each pulp was sent for assaying.
 
The assaying of samples was completed in the laboratory of the No.2 Geological Brigade of the Geological Exploration Bureau of Xinjiang Autonomous region, and checked by the Central Laboratory of Bureau of Xinjiang Autonomous Region. 9.5% of total samples were chosen for internal checking and 6.4% for external checking. The eligible rate of results of the checking samples is more than 95%.

Potential for Further Exploration

The potential to find economic copper deposits in the exploration permit is good due to the fact that mineralization belts were defined and fill-in drilling will upgrade some of the resources to Category 332 or to Category 331. If the drilling distribution is favourable, the extension of the mineralization maybe possible and there is potential to define extensions of mineralization.

(1) On September 15, 2006, the Company consummated a reverse takeover pursuant the terms of a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) among Earth Products & Technology, Inc., American Federal Mining Group, Inc., an Illinois company (“AFMG”), and the shareholders of AFMG.   

Outstanding Options, Conversions, and Planned Issuance of Common Stock. Except as hereinafter set forth, there are no options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of common stock. On March 12, 2005, we granted a three-year option, effective from the completion of the reverse takeover transaction, to American Eastern Securities, Inc., our financial advisor, to invest up to $2,000,000 (limited to no more than 10% of the Company’s issued equity) in the Company, at the first fund raising event price, which is $3.20.  

Preferred Stock. We may issue shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series with such designations, voting powers, if any, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and such qualifications, limitations and restrictions, as are determined by resolution of our Board of Directors. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company without further action by stockholders and could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of holders of common stock, with us acting in accordance with our corporate charter and by-laws. In certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could depress the market price of the common stock. There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Dividends. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our common stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance future growth and expansion and, therefore, do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Transfer Agent and Registrar. Our transfer agent is Standard Registrar & Transfer, Inc. located at 12528 South 1840, East Draper, UT 84020. Their telephone number is (801) 571-8844.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans. As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we have no shares of our common stock or preferred stock that are issuable under compensation plans approved by our security holders.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. Each issuance set forth below was made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, contained in Section 4(2) on the basis that such transactions did not involve a public offering. When appropriate, we determined that the purchasers of securities described below were sophisticated investors who had the financial ability to assume the risk of their investment in our securities and acquired such securities for their own account and not with a view to any distribution thereof to the public. Where required by applicable law, the certificates evidencing the securities bear legends stating that the securities are not to be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements.

On September 15, 2006, the Company consummated a reverse takeover pursuant to which it issued a total of 20,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to the shareholders of American Federal Mining Group, Inc. (“AFMG”), an Illinois corporation, resulting in the acquisition of AFMG as a wholly-owned subsidiary and a change in management of the Company.

In addition to the reverse takeover, we entered into two purchase transactions pertaining to mining properties, each of which calls for the issuance of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock as partial payment of the consideration.  On April 27, 2006, we completed the acquisition of 60% ownership interests in Qingshan Metal. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Qingshan Metal shareholders received an aggregate consideration of approximately $2.561 million.  The amount of approximately $1.409 million was paid as a down payment in April 2006. The remaining portion of $1.152 was subsequently settled on March 15, 2007 by issuing 284,810 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Qingshan Metal shareholders when the market price was $4.00 per share.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-laws provide that we may indemnify its officers, directors, agents and any other persons to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Chapter 78 of the Nevada General Corporation Law (“NGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he is not liable pursuant to NGCL Section 78.138 or acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. NGCL Chapter 78 further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any such person serving in any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he is not liable pursuant to NGCL Section 78.138 or acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court or other court of competent jurisdiction in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court or other court of competent jurisdiction shall deem proper.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of China Shen Zhou Mining & Resources, Inc.
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of American Federal Mining Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Federal Mining Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the 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 consolidated 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 purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of American Federal Mining Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(Amounts expressed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated)
 
NOTE 1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

American Federal Mining Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “AFMG”) was incorporated in the State of Illinois on November 15, 2005. On December 10, 2005, AFMG entered into an agreement (the “Exchange agreement”) to acquire a 100% interest in Wu La Te Hou Qi Qianzhen Mining Company Limited (“Qianzhen Mining”), with certain officers and directors the same as that of the Company. The merger was approved by all shareholders on December 10, 2005 and 100% of AFMG’s common stock was exchanged for a 100% equity interest in Qianzhen Mining. As a result of the execution of the Exchange agreement, AFMG owns all of the registered capital of Qianzhen Mining, a limited liability company registered and organized in the PRC. Qianzhen Mining holds 99% of the registered capital of Inner Mongolia Xiangzhen Mining Group Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized in the PRC (“Xiangzhen Mining”), with the remaining 1% of the registered capital of Xiangzhen Mining being held by Yu Xian-Jing, President of AFMG, in trust for Qianzhen Mining, thus effectively making Xiangzhen Mining a wholly-owned subsidiary of AFMG. Xiangzhen Mining also holds 99% of the registered capital of Xinjiang Wuqia Tianzhen Mining Co., Ltd. (“Tianzhen Mining”), and the remaining 1% of Tianzhen Mining is held by Yu Xian-Jing, President of AFMG, in trust for Qianzhen Mining. This transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Qianzhen Mining with no adjustment to the historical basis of the assets and liabilities of Qianzhen Mining and the operations were consolidated as though the transaction occurred as of the beginning of the first accounting period presented in these financial statements. For the purpose of presenting the financial statements on a consistent basis, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the Company had been in existence since the beginning of the earliest period presented and throughout the whole periods covered by these financial statements

The Company is an investment holding company and has not carried on any substantive operations of its own, except for the acquisition of Qianzhen Mining.

Qianzhen Mining was established as a domestic limited liability company on June 22, 2002, in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Ba Yan Nuo Er City, Wu La Te Hou Qi pursuant to relevant Chinese laws and regulations, with an authorized capital of $281,803 (RMB2,333,332). On April 12, 2005, by asset injection, the registered share capital increased to $1,210,478 (RMB10,000,000). Upon the Company’s acquisition of 100% of the equity of Qianzhen Mining in December 2006, approval was granted by the Economic and Trade Bureau of Inner Mongolia for Agilon to become a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise.

Qianzhen Mining is engaged in the business of acquisition, exploration, extraction and development of natural resource properties. All current operations and assets of Qianzhen Mining are located in the PRC.

Xiangzhen Mining was incorporated on July 3, 2002, with an authorized capital of $6,038,647 (RMB50,000,000).

NOTE 1
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION (Continued)

Xiangzhen owns a fluorspar mine, the Inner Mongolia Siziwang Qi Sumozaganobao Fluorite Field Mine, that owns the biggest fluorspar reserve in Asia with the average quality of 72.37% for its high-grade fluorspar.  The mining capacity for Xiangzhen is estimated to be 100,000 tons annually. All current operations and assets of Xiangzhen are located in the PRC.

Tianzhen Mining (“Tianzhen”) was formed on April 13, 2004, in the Xinjing Uygur Autonomous Region, with an authorized capital of $194,686 (RMB 1,612,000).  Tianzhen Mining has been granted three exploration rights.

On April 27, 2006, we acquired 60% ownership interest in Qingshan Metal for an aggregate consideration of approximately $2.561 million.  Qingshan Metal has been granted the mining right certificate for a copper-zinc-lead mine in Wulatehouqi by the Ministry of Land and Resources of the PRC with a current term from October 2005 to October 2008.

On April 28, 2006, we acquired 80% ownership interest in Xingzhen Mining from Mr. Li Leyi. for a consideration of approximately $3.587 million. Xingzhen Mining holds the exploration right to the Xinjiang Buejin Kerbulaiker Copper-Zinc Mines, which expired on July 14, 2006. The Kerbulaiker Copper-Xinc Mines is considered to have quality copper and zinc reserves by experts.

NOTE 2
ACQUISITIONS

Qingshan Metal
On April 27, 2006, we completed the acquisition of a 60% ownership interest in Qingshan Metal. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Qingshan Metal shareholders received an aggregate consideration of approximately $2.561 million.  Qingshan Metal has been granted the mining right certificate for a copper-zinc-lead mine in Wulatehouqi by the Ministry of Land and Resources of the PRC with a current term from October 2005 to October 2008.

Management of the Company considered the stable and sufficient supply of raw zinc and copper minerals as one of the critical success factors of Qianzhen Mining’s ore-dressing operations. Moreover, its location is not far away from Qianzhen Mining. We believe that the acquisition of Qingshan Metal is to the benefit of the Company and the shareholders.

The total purchase consideration of the merger is as follows: (in thousands)

ACQUISITIONS (Continued)

Qingshan Metal (Continued)

The Company has allocated a portion of the purchase price amounting to $1,149,000 to extraction rights. The Company allocated purchase price to the extraction rights as value beyond proven and probable reserves by the use of probability-weighted, discounted cash flows based on the expected future production of mineralized material over the life of the mine.

Goodwill in the amount of $1,001,000 was fully assigned to the Qingshan reporting unit, which is a component of the nonferrous metals operating segment, and which has one operating mine. Management has determined that there is sufficient fair value in the reporting unit beyond proven and probable reserves and accordingly, no impairment of the goodwill has been recognized.


Xingzhen Mining
On April 28, 2006, we completed the acquisition of an 80% ownership interest in Xingzhen Mining from Mr. Li Leyi. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Mr. Li received aggregate consideration of approximately $3.587 million.  

Xingzhen Mining holds the exploration right to the Xinjiang Buejin Kerbulaiker Copper-Zinc Mine, which expired on July 14, 2006. The Kerbulaiker Copper-Xinc Mines is considered to have quality copper and zinc reserves by experts.

Given the continuing increase in the trading price of nonferrous metals, we believe that the acquisition of Xingzhen Mining will enable the Company to capture business opportunities in the future.

As of the date of this report, Xingzhen Mining is in the final process of applying for the extraction right of the above-mentioned mine, and believes that as soon as the extraction rights are issued by the PRC Government, they can commence extraction of the proven minerals.

The above two acquisitions were significant to the Company. The significance tests indicate that Qingshan Metal does not meet the 20% threshold of significance and hence financial statements are not required. Xingzhen Mining’s income test exceeds 40%, so pursuant to Item 310(c)(3) of Regulation S-B, financial statements shall be furnished for the most recent fiscal year and any interim periods. However, Xingzhen was established in April 10,2006 so it does not have prior-year financial statements
 
NOTE  3.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates
The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to mineral reserves that are the basis for future cash flow estimates utilized in impairment calculations and units-of-production depreciation, depletion and amortization calculations; estimates of fair value for certain reporting units and asset impairments (including impairments of goodwill, long-lived assets and investments); write-downs of inventory to net realizable value; reserves for contingencies and litigation; and the fair value and accounting treatment of financial instruments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

NOTE 3.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of American Federal Mining Group, Inc.. and more-than-50%-owned subsidiaries that it controls and entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (see Note 2). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The functional currency for the majority of the Company’s operations is the Renminbi (“RMB”).

Basis of preparation
The Consolidated Financial Statements of American Federal Mining Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively known as the “Company”, or “we”) for the six months period ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are unaudited. In the opinion of the Management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents and is included in other current and long-term assets.

Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable is stated at cost, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts for those third party trade accounts that are not collected within one year.

NOTE 3.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or net realizable value. Costs of work-in-progress and finished goods are composed of direct materials, direct labor and an attributable portion of manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose. The Company has provided an inventory reserve.

Property, plant and mining assets
Expenditures for new facilities or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the estimated productive lives, which do not exceed the related estimated mine lives, of such facilities based on mineralized material.

(Amounts expressed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated)

Mineral exploration costs are expensed according to the term of license granted to the Company. Extraction rights are stated at the lower of cost and recoverable amount.  When extraction rights are obtained from the government in accordance with mining industry practice in the PRC, extraction rights and other costs incurred prospectively to develop the property are capitalized as incurred, and are amortized using the units-of-production (“UOP”) method over the estimated life of the minerlaized material based on estimated recoverable volume through the end of the period over which the Company has extraction rights. At the Company’s surface mines, these costs include costs to further delineate the mineralized material and remove overburden to initially expose the mineralized material. At the Company’s underground mines, these costs include the cost of building access ways, shaft sinking and access, lateral development, drift development, ramps and infrastructure development.

Major development costs incurred after the commencement of production are amortized using the UOP method based on estimated recoverable volume through the end of the period over which the Company has extraction rights. To the extent that these costs benefit the entire mineralized material, they are amortized over the estimated life of the mineralized material. Costs incurred to access specific mineral blocks or areas that only provide benefit over the life of that area are amortized over the estimated life of that specific mineral block or area.  Interest cost allocable to the cost of developing mining properties and to constructing new facilities, if any, is capitalized until assets are ready for their intended use.

Land use rights are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 25 years.

Stripping Costs
Stripping costs are costs of removing overburden and other mine waste materials.  Stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are variable production costs that are included as a component of inventory to be recognized in cost of sales in the same period as the revenue from the sale of inventory.

Asset Impairment
(a) Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill, if any. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable metals, corresponding expected commodity prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), production levels and operating costs of production and capital, all based on life-of-mine plans. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves are included when determining the fair value of mine site reporting units at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable metals” refers to the estimated amount of metals that will be obtained after taking into account losses during ore processing and treatment. Estimates of recoverable metals from such exploration stage metal interests are risk adjusted based on management’s relative confidence in such materials. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable metals prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

(b) Goodwill
The Company evaluates, on at least an annual basis, the carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. To accomplish this, the Company compares the estimated fair value of its reporting units to their carrying amounts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is charged to earnings. The Company’s fair value estimates are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual fair value will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and other commodity prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized, net of PRC business taxes, and treatment and refining charges, from a sale when the price is determinable, the product has been delivered, the title has been transferred to the customer and collection of the sales price is probable. Revenues from by-product sales are credited to costs applicable to sales as a by-product credit.

NOTE 3.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income and Mining Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, recognizing certain temporary differences between the financial reporting basis of the Company’s liabilities and assets and the related income tax basis for such liabilities and assets. This method generates either a net deferred income tax liability or asset for the Company, as measured by the statutory tax rates in effect. The Company derives its deferred income tax charge or benefit by recording the change in either the net deferred income tax liability or asset balance for the year. Mining taxes represent PRC taxes levied on mining operations and are classified as cost of sales, as such taxes are based on a percentage of mining output.

The Company’s deferred income tax assets include certain future tax benefits. The Company records a valuation allowance against any portion of those deferred income tax assets when it believes, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

Transportation charges
Transportation charges represent costs to deliver the Company’s inventory to point of sale.  Transportation costs are expensed and charged to cost of sales as incurred

Foreign Currency 
On July 21, 2005, the People’s Bank of China announced an upward adjustment in the Renminbi (“RMB”) exchange rate against the U.S. dollar of 2%. Subsequently, the exchange rate of the Renminbi will be valued against a number of currencies, rather than just exclusively to the United States dollar.

The functional currency of the Company is the Chinese Renminbi. However, the Company reports in U.S. dollars.  The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. All asset and liability accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date.  Equity accounts have been translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred. Statements of Operations amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the year.

At June 30, 2006, revenues and expenses of the Company were translated to U.S. dollars at US$1.00 = RMB8.0248 and the assets and liabilities of the Company maintained in Renminbi translated to U.S. dollars at US$1.00 = RMB8.0065. At December 31, 2005, the revenues and expenses of the Company were translated to U.S. dollars at US$1.00 = RMB8.2402 and the assets and liabilities of the Company maintained in Renminbi translated to U.S. dollars at US$1.00 = RMB8.1807.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Foreign Currency
Although the Chinese government regulations now allow convertibility of RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain.  Hence, such translations should not be construed as representations that RMB could be converted into U.S. dollars at that rate or any other rate.

The value of RMB against U.S. dollars and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions.  Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect our financial condition in terms of U.S. dollar reporting.

Comprehensive Income
SFAS No.130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments. Total comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $75,000 and $Nil, respectively. Total comprehensive income (loss) for the six months periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $231,000 and $(18,000), respectively.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statements No 3.  SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. Accounting Principles Boards ("APB") Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of  changing to the new accounting   principle. SFAS No. 154 requires that a change in method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting   estimate that is affected by a change in accounting principle. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that such a change be reported as a change in accounting principle. The Company adopted SFAS No. 154 on January 1, 2006.  The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 154 had no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets-amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS No. 153 eliminates the exception to fair value for exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchange transactions that do not have commercial substance, defined as transactions that are not expected to result in significant changes in the cash flows of the reporting entity. This statement is effective for exchanges of non-monetary assets occurring after June 15, 2005.  The adoption of SFAS No. 153 had had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Recent accounting pronouncements (Continued)
In September, 2004, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-2, Application of FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to Oil- and Gas-Producing Entities. This statement is effective for the first reporting period beginning after the issuance date and clarifies that the costs for acquiring contractual mineral rights in oil and gas properties would continue to be recorded as those for tangible assets.  It also addresses that the scope exception within SFAS 142 for the accounting as prescribed in SFAS 19 extends to the balance sheet classification and disclosures for drilling and mineral rights of oil- and gas-producing entities.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 requires that certain abnormal costs associated with the manufacturing, freight, and handling costs associated with inventory be charged to current operations in the period in which they are incurred. The adoption of SFAS 151 had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment- Revised 2004,” using the modified prospective transition method.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). This interpretation prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 (i.e., the beginning of our fiscal year 2007). We do not expect that the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value instruments.  SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (our fiscal 2008). We believe that implementation of SFAS 157 will have little or no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires plan sponsors of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans (collectively, “postretirement benefit plans”) to fully recognize the funded status of their postretirement benefit plans in the statement of financial position, measure the fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the fiscal year-end statement of financial position and provide additional disclosures.  We believe that implementation of SFAS 157 will have little or no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements since we have no applicable plans,.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires that we quantify misstatements based on their impact on each of our financial statements and related disclosures. On December 30, 2006, we adopted SAB 108. Our adoption of SAB 108 did not impact our financial statements

NOTE 4
RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company has restated its previously issued financial statements as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and for each of the years then ended included in its Form 8-K filed September 18, 2006. The Company’s determination to restate these previously issued financial statements arose from the following items:

i.
The Company has re-assessed the impairment of certain plant and machinery and written down their values accordingly. In addition, the Company had incorrectly calculated the depreciation and amortization on property, plant and mining assets.
ii.
The Company had incorrectly calculated the unit costs of certain inventory items in applying the weighted average costing method.
iii.
The Company had not accounted for deferred tax.
iv.
The Company had under-accrued current income tax.
v.
The Company had incorrectly calculated accrued interest expense.
vi.
The Company has also identified other misstatements, which were not individually material.
vii.
The above misstatements also resulted in misstatement of income tax expenses.
viii.
The Company has also reclassified various amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

The following tables show the impact of the adjustments to correct the above mentioned items on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2005:

Exploration and extraction rights
As in most jurisdictions, mineral rights in China are divided into two types: extraction rights and exploration rights. Extraction rights refer to the rights obtained in accordance with the law for exploitation of mineral resources and market control of mineral products. In nearly every jurisdiction in the world, mineral rights are absolutely exclusive. In China, however, there are no clear stipulations regarding the exclusivity of mineral rights. The Amendment of China Mining Regulation stressed the security of mineral rights and its Article 6 stated that “upon discovery of mineral resources, the exploration licensees have the privileged priority to obtain mining rights to the mineral resources within the exploration area.”  According to the Ministry of Land and Resources, this privileged priority will be guaranteed under further amendments to be made in the near future.

Exploration rights refer to the right obtained in accordance with the law for exploring for mineral resources within the areas authorized by the exploration license.  The Company has been granted mineral exploration permits.  These exploration rights enable the Company to explore selected prospective mines for possible economic value to mine and develop.   Under Chinese mining laws and regulations, generally an exploration license is valid for no more than 3 years and extension of the exploration license shall not exceed two years and two extensions.

NOTE 16
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION RETIREMENT PLANS

As stipulated by the regulations of the PRC government, companies operating in the PRC have defined contribution retirement plans for their employees. The PRC government is responsible for the pension liability to these retired employees. Commencing from January 1, 2002, the Company was required to make specified contributions to the state-sponsored retirement plan at 20% of the basic salary cost of their staff. Each of the employees of the PRC subsidiaries is required to contribute 6% of his/her basic salary.

NOTE 17
RESERVES

In accordance with the PRC Companies Law, the Company’s  PRC subsidiaries were required to transfer 10% of their profit after tax, as determined in accordance with accounting standards and regulations of the PRC, to the statutory surplus reserve and a percentage of not less than 5%, as determined by management, of the profit after tax to the public welfare fund. The statutory surplus reserve is non-distributable.

NOTE 18
ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

According to the “Rules on Mineral Resources Administration” and “Rules on Land Rehabilitation” of the PRC, mining companies causing damages to cultivated land, grassland or forest are required to restore the land to a state approved by the local governments. The local governments administering the “Rules on Mineral Resources Administration” and “Rules on Land Rehabilitation” on the Company’s two mines, “Sumochaganaobao Fluorite Mine” and “Mining site No. 2”, have confirmed that the Company is not required to restore or rehabilitate the two mining sites because those two mining sites are located at distant areas and the Company’s mining and extraction activities have not affected the surrounding environment. The Companies’ property, machinery and mining assets related to those two mining sites at December 31, 2005 and 2006 were not subject to an asset retirement obligation.

The Company has identified but not recognized the asset retirement obligations related to the Company’s other mining sites for which the Company is applying the extraction rights. These sites are still at the exploration stage. The asset retirement obligations related to these sites are not estimable until extraction rights and licenses are granted. Upon the approval and issuance of the mining licenses, the Company will be able to reasonably estimate the settlement dates of, and apply an expected present value technique to determine and recognize the asset retirement obligations related to these mining sites.

The Company conducts its operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believes its operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects.

NOTE 20
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General
The Company follows FAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

Mining industry in PRC
The Company's mining operations are and will be subject to extensive national and local governmental regulations in the China, which regulations may be revised or expanded at any time. A broad number of matters are subject to regulation.  Generally, compliance with these regulations requires the Company to obtain permits issued by government, state and local regulatory agencies.  Certain permits require periodic renewal or review of their conditions.  The Company cannot predict whether it will be able to obtain or renew such permits or whether material changes in permit conditions will be imposed.  The inability to obtain or renew permits or the imposition of additional conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to develop and operate its properties.

Environmental matters
Environmental laws and regulations to which the Company is subject as it progresses from the development stage to the production stage mandate additional concerns and requirements of the Company.   Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits can result in injunctive actions, damages and civil and criminal penalties.  The laws and regulations applicable to the Company's activities change frequently and it is not possible to predict the potential impact on the Company from any such future changes.

Although management believes that the Company is in material compliance with the statutes, laws, rules and regulations of every jurisdiction in which it operates, no assurance can be given that the Company’s compliance with the applicable statutes, laws, rules and regulations will not be challenged by governing authorities or private parties, or that such challenges will not lead to material adverse effects on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company is not involved in any legal matters arising in the normal course of business. While incapable of estimation, in the opinion of the management, the individual regulatory and legal matters in which it might be involved in the future are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 22
SEGMENT INFOMATION

We follow SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, which requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decision about allocating resources to segments and evaluating their performance. We have two operating segments identified by product, “fluorite” and “nonferrous metals”. The fluorite segment consists of our fluorite extraction and processing operations conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Xiangzhen Mining. The nonferrous metals segment consists of our copper, zinc, lead and other nonferrous metal exploration, extraction and processing activities conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Qianzhen Mining and Tianzhen Mining.

We primarily evaluate performance based on income before income taxes and excluding non-recurrent items.

NOTE 23
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 14, 2006, AFMG completed the terms of a stock exchange agreement with Earth Products & Technologies, Inc. (“EPTI”). Pursuant to the stock exchange agreement, EPTI issued 20,000,000 shares of its common stock, of which 17,687,000 shares were issued to shareholders of AFMG, 1,013,000 shares to management of AFMG and 1,300,000 shares to the financial advisors of AFMG, in exchange for a 100% equity interest in AFMG, making AFMG a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPTI.

The above stock exchange transaction resulted in the shareholders of AFMG obtaining a majority voting interest in EPTI. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America require that the Company whose shareholders retain the majority interest in a combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Consequently, the stock exchange transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of AFMG as AFMG acquired a controlling equity interest in EPTI as of September 15, 2006. The reverse acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of EPTI and the assets and liabilities of AFMG recorded at historical cost.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2006
 
(1)
Because AFMG's former owners have received the majority voting rights in the combined entity and AFMG's senior management has been appointed to represent the majority of the senior management of the combined entity following the Share Exchange, the Share Exchange is deemed to be a reverse acquisition. In accordance with the Accounting and Financial Reporting Interpretations and Guidance prepared by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Earth Products & Technologies, Inc. (“EPTI”, the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and AFMG (the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer. The consolidated financial statements of the combined entity will in substance be those of AFMG, with the assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses, of EPTI being included effective from the date of consummation of the Share Exchange. EPTI is deemed to be a continuation of the business of AFMG. The outstanding stock of EPTI prior to the Share Exchange will be accounted for at their net book value and no goodwill will be recognized.
   
(2)
Reflects the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of common stock by EPTI (as legal acquirer) for the reverse acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of AFMG (as legal acquiree, but accounting acquirer), and the elimination the pre-acquisition losses of EPTI (as accounting acquiree).
   
(3)
The historical earnings per share is computed based on the historical income of AFMG as AFMG is considered the accounting acquirer and thus the predecessor.
   
(4)
The weighted average number of share used for computing the historical earnings per share is based on the number of shares issued in the reverse acquisition of AFMG by EPTI.
