Cd International Enterprises's Customers Performance

Our Consulting segment revenues primarily consist of consulting and advisory service fees we received from certain publicly traded U.S. companies with their primary business operations located in the PRC. Our consulting fees vary based upon the scope of the services to be rendered. Historically, a significant portion of the fees we earned have been paid in the form of our clients' securities. We classify these securities as investments in marketable securities available-for-sale or investment in marketable securities available-for-sale-related party. We receive a fixed number of shares of their marketable securities or fees from those client companies, including both recurring and one-time transaction fees for services provided to clients. Consulting segment revenues vary from period to period depending upon the timing, nature and scope of services we provide to a particular client. In addition to potential transaction fees, we also anticipate receiving additional client fees generated from our ongoing annual service contracts.

In our Trading segment, we commenced sales from our U.S.-based industrial commodities business. We established operations in Chile, Peru and Bolivia where we entered into contracts with local operators and producers to secure supplies of iron ore, copper concentrate and other minerals. Throughout the course of fiscal year 2012 to 2016 we have developed a relationship with a leading European logistics and trading solution company to sell our sourced iron ore and copper concentrate for delivery into China. We have also worked with our suppliers and local governmental authorities to obtain the necessary permits and approvals to process and export iron ore and copper concentrate on a continuous basis in these countries.
