CHINA NATURAL RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

| 1. | ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

China Natural Resources, Inc. (“CHNR” or the “Company”) is a British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) holding company incorporated in 1993. The address of the principal executive office is Room 2205, 22/F, West Tower, Shun Tak Centre, 168-200 Connaught Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. The Company’s principal activity is investment holding. The Company’s subsidiaries (collectively with CHNR, the “Group”) are primarily involved in the exploration and mining and wastewater treatment businesses in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).

CHNR’s principal shareholder is Feishang Group Limited (“Feishang Group” or the “Shareholder”), a BVI corporation. Mr. Li Feilie is the controlling shareholder of Feishang Group. In the opinion of the directors of the Company (the “Directors”), the ultimate parent of CHNR is Laitan Investment Limited, a BVI corporation.

| 2.1 | BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The Group has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern.

As of June 30, 2024, the Group had net current liabilities of CNY157,971 (US$21,737). In view of the circumstance, the directors have given consideration to the future liquidity and performance of the Group and its available sources of financing in assessing whether the Group will have sufficient financial resources to continue as a going concern. The Group has obtained letters from each of Feishang Group Limited (“Feishang Group” or the “Shareholder”) and Feishang Enterprise Group Company Limited (“Feishang Enterprise”), entities controlled by Mr. Li Feilie, the principal beneficial shareholder of the Company, which state that Feishang Group and Feishang Enterprise will provide continuous financial support to the Group in relation to the going concern of its operations, and will not recall any amounts due to them until the Group has sufficient liquidity to finance its operations. Feishang Enterprise’s letter also states that it will pay debts on behalf of the Group when needed. Accordingly, in the opinion of the directors, it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis, and not less than 12 months from the end of the reporting period.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Group’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”).

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CHNR and those subsidiaries in which CHNR has direct or indirect controlling interests. The Company’s subsidiaries as of June 30, 2024 are as described in the 2023 Annual Report.

For the convenience of readers, amounts in Renminbi, the Chinese currency (“CNY”), have been translated into United States dollars (“US$”) at the applicable rate of US$1.00 = CNY7.2673 as quoted by www.ofx.com as of June 30, 2024, except as otherwise disclosed. No representation is made that the CNY amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at that rate, or at all.

| 2.2 | CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the adoption of the following new and revised IFRS for the first time for the current period’s financial information.

Amendments to IFRS 16 | Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback
Amendments to IAS 1 | Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (the “2020 Amendments”)
Amendments to IAS 1 | Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (the “2022 Amendments”)
Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 | Supplier Finance Arrangements

The nature and impact of the revised IFRSs that are applicable to the Group are described below:

(a) | Amendments to IFRS 16 specify the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. Since the Group has no sale and leaseback transactions with variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate occurring from the date of initial application of IFRS 16, the amendments did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

(b) | The 2020 Amendments clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current, including what is meant by a right to defer settlement and that a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification of a liability is unaffected by the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement. The amendments also clarify that a liability can be settled in its own equity instruments, and that only if a conversion option in a convertible liability is itself accounted for as an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification. The 2022 Amendments further clarify that, among covenants of a liability arising from a loan arrangement, only those with which an entity must comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification of that liability as current or non-current. Additional disclosures are required for non-current liabilities that are subject to the entity complying with future covenants within 12 months after the reporting period.

The Group has reassessed the terms and conditions of its liabilities as at 1 January 2023 and 2024 and concluded that the classification of its liabilities as current or non-current remained unchanged upon initial application of the amendments. Accordingly, the amendments did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

(c) | Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 clarify the characteristics of supplier finance arrangements and require additional disclosure of such arrangements. The disclosure requirements in the amendments are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. The disclosure of relevant information for supplier finance arrangements is not required for any interim reporting period during the first annual reporting period in which an entity applies the amendments. As the Group does not have supplier finance arrangements, the amendments did not have any impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

| 3. | DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On July 28, 2023, the Company’s board of directors had approved the Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA") with Feishang Group. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company agreed to sell 100% equity interest of Precise Space-Time Technology Limited ("PSTT") to Feishang Group, together with PSTT's outstanding payable owed to the Company, for consideration of approximately CNY95,761 comprising: (i) CNY-34,197, the fair value of 100% equity interest of PSTT as determined by the independent valuation report dated July 28, 2023. (ii) CNY129,958, the book value of PSTT's outstanding payable owed to the Company (referred as Disposal of PSTT). PSTT operated the wastewater treatment segment. After the disposal, the Company will not operate any wastewater treatment business and will continue operating its exploration and mining business.

The Disposal of PSTT was accounted for as an equity transaction of entities under common control.

| 4. | SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Group’s management and the Company’s Board of Directors for the purpose of resource allocation and performance assessment.

Management assesses the performance of operating segments based on profit or loss before income tax in related periods. The manner of assessment is consistent with that applied in these financial statements.

Deferred tax assets, income tax payable and deferred tax liabilities are excluded from segment assets and segment liabilities. The Group had neither sale of products nor provisions of services between the operating segments.

As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024, after the disposal of PSTT in July 2023, the Group only operates in one operating segment: exploration and mining, which consists of the exploration for lead, silver, lithium and other metals. The segment results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were retroactively restated to exclude discontinued operations (Note 3). Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit / (loss), which is a measure of adjusted profit / (loss) before tax from continuing operations. The segment analysis below is provided for the Group's continuing operations and does not include any amount from a discontinued operation, namely the wastewater treatment (see Note 3 for information on discontinued operations).

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the segment results were as follows:

| 7. | LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of common shares that would be issued on conversion of all outstanding dilutive securities into common shares.

| 15. | FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The financial instruments of the Group primarily include cash and cash equivalents, trade and bills receivable, other receivables, contract assets, derivative financial liabilities, trade payables, other payables, dividends payable, amounts due to related companies, amounts due to the Shareholder, lease liabilities and interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

The Group is exposed to credit risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, business and economic risk and liquidity risk. The Group has not used any derivatives or other instruments for hedging purposes. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial liabilities for trading purposes. The Group reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarized below.

(a) |  | Credit risk

Management has a credit policy in place and the exposures to credit risk are monitored on an ongoing basis. Debts are usually due within 30 to 90 days from the date of billing.

Management groups financial instruments based on shared credit risk characteristics, such as instrument type and credit risk ratings for the purpose of determining significant increase in credit risk and calculation of impairment. The carrying amount of each financial asset in the condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets.

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:

- significant financial difficulty of the debtor

- a breach of contract such as a default or past due event; or

- it is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization.

To manage credit risk arising from trade receivables and contract assets, the credit quality of the debtors is assessed, taking into account their historical settlement records, past experience and other factors. The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for ECLs prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The ECLs also incorporated forward-looking information.

For financial assets assessed for impairment under the general approach, the Group established a policy to perform an assessment at the end of each reporting period of whether a financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, by considering the change in the risk of default occurring over the remaining life of the financial instrument. The Group groups its other receivables into Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3, as described below:

Stage 1 – When other receivables are first recognized, the Group recognized an allowance based on 12 months’ ECLs.

Stage 2 – When other receivables have shown a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the Group records an allowance for the lifetime ECLs.

Stage 3 – Other receivables are considered credit-impaired. The Group records an allowance for the lifetime ECLs.

CHINA NATURAL RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(a) |  | Credit risk (continued)

Management also makes periodic collective assessments for other receivables and amounts due from related companies as well as individual assessments of the recoverability of other receivables based on historical settlement records, past experience and other factors. The Group classified other receivables and amounts due from related companies in Stage 1 and continuously monitored their credit risk. Management believes that there is no material credit risk inherent in the Group’s outstanding balance of other receivables as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024.

The Group does not provide any guarantees that would expose the Group to credit risk. There is no further quantitative disclosures in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from financial assets as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Group maintains its cash and cash equivalents primarily with various PRC state-owned banks and Hong Kong based financial institutions, which management believes are of high credit quality. The Group performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions.

(b) |  | Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk primarily arises from certain significant foreign currency deposits denominated in US$ and HK$ and related exposures are disclosed in Note 12. The Group Treasury closely monitors the international foreign currency market on the change of exchange rates and takes these into consideration when investing in foreign currency deposits and borrowing loans.

CNY is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People's Bank of China, controls the conversion of CNY into foreign currencies. The value of CNY is subject to changes in PRC government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting the supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the People's Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People's Bank of China.

There is no significant exposure to foreign currency risk as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024 for the Company.

(c) |  | Interest rate risk

The fair value interest rate risk of the Group mainly arises from long-term loans at fixed rates. As the fluctuation of comparable interest rate (Loan Prime Rate of PRC market) with similar term was relatively low, the Directors are of the opinion that the Group is not exposed to any significant fair value interest rate risk for its fixed interest rate borrowings held as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024.

(d) |  | Business and economic risk

| 16. | EQUITY (CONTINUED)

* On February 16, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, (i) in a registered direct offering, up to an aggregate of 1,487,870 of common shares with no par value of the Company at a per share purchase price of US$2.20 (the “Registered Offering”), and (ii) in a concurrent private placement, warrants initially exercisable for the purchase of an aggregate of 1,115,903 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The registered Offering was closed on February 21, 2024.

The Company recognized the warrants issued to the investors as derivative financial liabilities (Note 14.b) at the fair value of the warrants on the issue date, which amounted to CNY8,229 (US$1,145*), as the investors have the right to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis according to the agreement clause. Per IAS 32, a contract settled by a single net payment (generally referred to as net cash-settled or net equity-settled as the case may be) is a financial liability and not an equity instrument. The gross proceeds of this offering less the fair value of warrants issued to investors amounted to CNY15,305 (US$2,129*) and was recorded in share capital.

Upon the closing of this offering and the private placement, the Company paid or committed to pay fees and offering expenses of CNY5,250 (US$730*), which consists of 8% of gross proceeds and certain expenses reimbursement to the placement agent in cash and the offering expenses related to other professional services. The total amount of fees and offering expenses were allocated to the issuance of common shares and investor warrants according to their fair value at the date of issuance. The amount allocated to the issuance of the shares of CNY3,414 (US$475*) have been charged directly to equity as a reduction in share capital. The amount allocated to the issuance of investor warrants of CNY1,836 (US$255*) were expensed and are included in administrative expenses. The Company recognized a fair value gain of CNY3,862 (US$ 531) on the derivative financial liabilities (Note 5) from the closing date to June 30, 2024.

*As the changes in equity from this private placement transaction are dominated in US$, all the amount in US$ of this disclosure paragraph are actual transaction amount and corresponding amount in CNY were translated from US$ at the applicable exchange rate of the closing date.

| (b) | Other capital reserve

Other capital reserves of the Company are mainly for equity-settled share-based compensation, the exercise of stock options, the exercise of warrants, the business combination and the deemed contribution from the Shareholder of the Company and related companies.

| 17. | SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The issuance of warrants to the placement agent

As mentioned in Note 16(a), in addition to fees and offering expenses paid in cash to the placement agent, the Group issued to the placement agent warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of Shares sold in the Registered Offering (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants shall generally be on the same terms and conditions as the Investors Warrants except that they will be exercisable at a price of $2.20 per share. The issuance of the agent warrants is an equity-settled share-based payment for professional services received from the placement agent. The Company recognized other capital reserves in an amount of CNY588 (US$82*), which represented the fair value of agent warrants as of issuance date. The fair value of services recorded is not used since it cannot be reliably estimated. The amount was allocated to the issuance of the common shares and investor warrants according to their relative fair values at the date of issuance and CNY383 (US$53*) and CNY205 (US$29*) were charged to share capital and administrative expenses, respectively.

The fair value of the agent warrants is estimated at the issue date using a binomial lattice pricing model using significant observable inputs including underlying spot price of the Company's ordinary shares, exercise price, time to expiration, risk-free rate and equity volatility, etc.

*As the changes in equity from this private placement transaction are dominated in US$, all the amount in US$ of this disclosure paragraph are actual transaction amount and corresponding amount in CNY were translated from US$ at the applicable exchange rate of the transaction date, February 21, 2024.

OTHER INCOME

Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was nil, as compared to CNY0.50 million for the same period in 2023.

Management believes that the Company is not subject to US taxes.

Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”), the Company and its subsidiaries incorporated in the BVI are not subject to tax on income or capital gains.

The Hong Kong Profits Tax rate is 16.50%. The Company’s Hong Kong subsidiaries have both Hong Kong–sourced and non-Hong Kong–sourced income. The latter is not subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax and the related expenses are non-tax-deductible. For the Hong Kong–sourced income, no provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax was made as such operations sustained tax losses during the period ended June 30, 2023 and 2024. Furthermore, there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on the remittance of dividends.

Under the Law of the PRC on corporate income tax and the Implementation Regulation of the Corporate Income Tax Law (collectively, the “CIT Law”), the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are generally subject to PRC corporate income tax at the statutory rate of 25% on their respective estimated assessable profits for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024.

The loss for the period from discontinued operations, net of tax was nil for the period ended June 30, 2024, as compared with CNY4.96 million for the same period in 2023. The loss in 2023 was the result of an expected credit loss assessment of receivables and contract assets, due to the fact that the amount of uncollected and aged receivables and contract assets was relatively higher than the amount in 2022.

LOSS FOR THE PERIOD

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss decreased by CNY9.34 million (US$1.29 million), from CNY9.46 million for the period ended June 30, 2023 to CNY0.12 million (US$0.02 million) for the period ended June 30, 2024.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s primary liquidity needs are to fund operating expenses, capital expenditures and acquisitions. To date, the Company financed its working capital requirements and capital expenditures through internally generated cash from prior years, non-interest-bearing loans from the related parties, funds provided pursuant to the mutual cooperation agreement with Bayannaoer Jijincheng Mining Co., Ltd., and the issuance of shares and warrants in 2024. As the wastewater treatment business was disposed on July 28, 2023, and the Wulatehouqi Moruogu Tong Mine ("Moruogu Tong Mine") is still in the pre-revenue exploration stage, the Company expect our operations to continue to be funded through internally generated cash reserves from prior years, non-interest-bearing loans from related parties, and funds provided pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement. Feishang Group Limited and Feishang Enterprise Group Company Limited, related parties which have provided non-interest-bearing loans, have confirmed they will not recall any amounts due to them until the Group is in a position to settle the amounts due without having a detrimental impact on the financial resources of the Group.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately CNY11.85 million (US$1.63 million), as compared to net cash inflows of CNY3.05 million for the corresponding period in 2023. The decrease of cash inflows from operating activities was mainly caused by the disposal of PSTT, the water treatment business, on July 28, 2023.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was CNY4.00 thousand (US$1 thousand), as compared to CNY1.05 million for the corresponding period in 2023. The cash outflows in 2023 mainly represent expenditures on mine development.

Net cash from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was CNY15.84 million (US$2.18 million), as compared to net cash outflows of CNY1.60 million for the corresponding period in 2023. The increase in cash from financing activities was a result of proceeds from the private placement in February 2024.
