acquired all the outstanding stock of Shouguang City Haoyuan Chemical Company
Limited ("SCHC"), a company incorporated in Shouguang City, Shangdong Province,
the People's Republic of China, in May 2005. At the time of the acquisition,
members of the family of Mr. Ming Yang, our president and chief executive
officer, owned approximately 63.20% of the outstanding shares of Upper Class
Group Limited.&#160;&#160;Since the ownership of Upper Class Group Limited and

December 12, 2006, we, then known as Diversifax, Inc., a public "shell" company,

the stockholders of Upper Class Group Limited received 26,500,000&#160;shares of
voting common stock of Gulf Resources, Inc. in exchange for all outstanding
shares of Upper Class Group Limited. Members of the Yang family received
approximately 62% of our common stock as a result of the
acquisition.&#160;&#160;Under accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States, the share exchange is considered to be a capital transaction
rather than a business combination. That is, the share exchange is equivalent to
the issuance of stock by Upper Class Group Limited for the net assets of Gulf
Resources, Inc., accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a
change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the share exchange
is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except no goodwill is
recorded. Under reverse takeover accounting, the post reverse acquisition
comparative historical financial statements of the legal acquirer, Gulf
Resources, Inc., are those of the legal acquiree, Upper Class Group Limited.
Share and per share amounts stated have been retroactively adjusted to reflect
the share exchange.</font></div>

connection with the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007
originally filed on March 12, 2008 (the &#8220;Original Form 10-K&#8221;), we did not
include an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and

the Exchange Act) as of December&#160;31, 2007.</font></div>

to the filing of our Original Form 10-K, as required by Rule 13a-15(b)
promulgated under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reevaluated the
effectiveness as of December 31, 2007 of our disclosure controls and procedures,
as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this
evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that, our disclosure controls and procedures had material weaknesses and were
ineffective.&#160;&#160;One of the factors that contributed to the conclusion
that our disclosure controls are weak is that we failed to include in the
Original Form 10-K Management&#8217;s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting (the &#8220;Management Report&#8221;). The conclusion that we had material
weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures was also based on the fact
that during 2007, the Company made inaccurate disclosures regarding four asset
acquisitions of bromine production facilities (the &#8220;Asset
Acquisitions&#8221;).&#160;&#160;Disclosures regarding the Asset Acquisitions included
references to &#8220;approximate annual ideal production capacity&#8221; figures, &#8220;capacity
utilization&#8221; figures and &#8220;production output&#8221; figures for the Asset
Acquisitions.&#160;&#160;These references mistakenly implied that such assets
were then operating at the production capacities, capacity utilization rates and
production output levels specified.&#160;&#160;However, each of these assets was
not in operation when the Company acquired the asset.&#160;&#160;The owners of
each of the assets did not hold the proper license for the exploration and
production of bromine, and production at each of the assets acquired had been
previously halted by the government.&#160;&#160;&#160;The assets had not been
operational from nine to eighteen months before they were
acquired.&#160;&#160;Therefore, the references to production capacity figures,
capacity utilization figures and production output figures should have stated
that these figures were estimates of future production capabilities based on
existing facilities and equipment and amounts of capital expenditure the Company
planned for these assets to fund improvements and make them
operational.&#160;&#160;As a result, the Company filed a Current Report on Form
8-K correcting the statements it had previously made in disclosures regarding
the Acquired Assets.</font></div>

as the Company had no operations prior to such acquisition, upon the acquisition
of SCHC, SCHC's system of financial controls and procedures were adopted as
those of the Company. Following the acquisition of SCHC, the Company's
management commenced a review of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange
