                CHINA DIRECT TRADING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         This  summary  of   accounting   policies  for  China  Direct   Trading
Corporation  and  Subsidiaries  is  presented  to  assist in  understanding  the
Company's  financial  statements.  The accounting  policies conform to generally
accepted  accounting  principles  and  have  been  consistently  applied  in the
preparation of the financial statements.

Interim Reporting

         The  unaudited  financial  statements  as of June 30,  2005 and for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 reflect, in the opinion
of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to fairly state the financial  position and results of operations  for
the  three  and six  months.  Operating  results  for  interim  periods  are not
necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for full years.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

         China Direct Trading  Corporation  (formerly  "CBQ,  Inc."),  a Florida
corporation, was initially incorporated September 18, 1986 under the laws of the
State of Delaware under the name "Yorkshire Leveraged Group, Incorporated",  and
then  changed  its  situs  to  Colorado  in  1989  by  merging  into a  Colorado
corporation,  named "Freedom Funding,  Inc.". Freedom Funding, Inc. then changed
its name to  "CBQ,  Inc." by  amendment  of its  Articles  of  Incorporation  on
November 25,  1998.  In May 2004,  the Company  changed its name to China Direct
Trading  Corporation and reincorporated  from the State of Colorado to the State
of Florida.

         Souvenir  Direct,  Inc. was incorporated on September 9, 2002 under the
laws of the State of Florida.

         On December 1, 2003, China Direct Trading Corporation  acquired 100% of
the outstanding common stock of Souvenir Direct, Inc. in a reverse  acquisition.
At this time, a new  reporting  entity was  created.  Souvenir  Direct,  Inc. is
considered the reporting entity for financial reporting purposes.

Nature of Business

         The  Company  is engaged  in the  business  of  marketing  and  selling
novelty,  gift, and promotional items in North America.  The items are typically
manufactured  in the  People's  Republic of China by  third-party  manufacturing
companies.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

         For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company  considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment
purposes.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)

Pervasiveness of Estimates

         The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  required  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

         The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30,
2005 include the  accounts of the parent  entity and its  subsidiaries  Souvenir
Direct, Inc. and China Pathfinder Fund, LLC.

         The  results  of  subsidiaries  acquired  or sold  during  the year are
consolidated  from their effective dates of acquisition  through their effective
dates of disposition.

         All  significant  intercompany  balances  and  transactions  have  been
eliminated.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

         Basic  earnings per common share were  computed by dividing net loss by
the weighted  average  number of shares of common stock  outstanding  during the
year.  Diluted loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30,
2005 and 2004 are not presented as it would be anti-dilutive.

Concentration of Credit Risk

         The  Company has no  significant  off-balance-sheet  concentrations  of
credit  risk such as foreign  exchange  contracts,  options  contracts  or other
foreign hedging arrangements.

Reclassifications

         Certain   reclassifications  have  been  made  in  the  2004  financial
statements to conform with the 2005 presentation.

Major Suppliers

         The Company's major  suppliers are from the People's  Republic of China
and to a lesser extent a variety of Pacific Rim countries. The Company relies on
30 manufacturing  concerns in China for its products.  The loss of these Chinese
manufacturing sources would adversely impact on the business of the Company.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)

Major Customers

         At June 30, 2005, the Company receives  approximately  36% of its gross
revenues  from  its top  three  accounts.  The  loss of  these  customers  would
adversely impact the business of the Company.

Revenue Recognition

         Sales are recorded when goods are shipped,  and profit is recognized at
that time. Allowances for sales returns, rebates and discounts are recorded as a
component on net sales in the period the allowances are recognized.

Advertising

         Advertising  costs are  expensed as incurred.  Advertising  expense was
$6,126  and  $10,918  for  the  six  months   ended  June  30,  2005  and  2004,
respectively.

Income Taxes

         The Company  accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No.109 requires recognition of deferred
income  tax  assets  and   liabilities   for  the  expected  future  income  tax
consequences,  based on enacted tax laws, of temporary  differences  between the
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

NOTE 2 - LEASES

         In September  2004, the Company  entered into a new lease agreement for
approximately 1,800 square feet of office space with Flamingo Commons,  LLC. The
lease  requires  monthly  lease  payments  of  approximately   $2,175  beginning
September 1, 2004. The lease expires in August 2005. The office space is used as
the  corporate  headquarters.  It is located at 12535 Orange  Drive,  Suite 613,
Davie, Florida 33330.

         The Company also rents a storage  facility on a  month-to-month  basis.
Monthly rentals for the storage facility are approximately $150.

         Rental expense under these leases was approximately  $13,000 and $7,500
for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

                CHINA DIRECT TRADING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY PAYABLES

         On September  1, 2004,  China  Pathfinder  Fund,  LLC., a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company  received  loans of $15,000 from  shareholders  of the
Company.  The loans  carry an  interest  rate of 5% per annum and are payable in
twelve equal monthly  installments with the first installment due and payable on
January 31,  2005.  The monthly  installments  due and payable from January 2005
through June 2005 have been deferred mutual  agreement of China Pathfinder Fund,
LLC and the lending shareholders.

         During 2003 and 2004, a former  officer of the Company paid $300,000 to
settle a previously  filed  lawsuit on behalf of the Company.  This $300,000 has
been included in related party payables at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

         As  of  December  31,  2004,  the  Company  had a  net  operating  loss
carryforward for income tax reporting  purposes of  approximately  $455,000 that
may be offset against future taxable income through 2024. Current tax laws limit
the amount of loss  available to be offset  against future taxable income when a
substantial  change in  ownership  occurs.  Therefore,  the amount  available to
offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in
the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater
chance the  carryforwards  will expire  unused.  Accordingly,  the potential tax
benefits of the loss  carryforwards  are offset by a valuation  allowance of the
same amount.

NOTE 7 - LEGAL SETTLEMENTS

         In June 2001,  ITC/INFO Tech  ("Claimant")  obtained a default award of
$79,000  against the Company.  The award was based on  non-payment  for computer
goods shipped by ITC to two subsidiaries of the Company. The Company has offered
to settle the award for shares of restricted stock, but the Claimant has refused
to accept such an offer to date.  The Claimant has made no effort to enforce its
award since June 2001.  As of June 30, 2005 and  December  31,  2004,  the award
amount has been included in the accrued expenses of the Company.

NOTE 8 - CONTINGENCIES

         Celeste Trust Reg.,  Esquire Trade,  et al. v. CBQ, Inc. (Case# 03 Civ.
9650 RMB; US District Court, SDNY, 12/4/2003). A lawsuit filed against CBQ, Inc.
by three  plaintiffs on or about December 4, 2003, but which the Company did not
receive  notice of until  the week of  February  18,  2004 or  thereabouts.  The
plaintiffs  purchased  debentures  issued by Socrates  Technologies  Corporation
(STC), a public  Delaware  corporation in 2000.  When the Company  purchased the
assets of two STC  subsidiaries  in March 2001, the  plaintiffs  allege that the
Company  promised to issue to the plaintiffs and others the  consideration  that
was to be paid to STC for the acquired assets

NOTE 8 - CONTINGENCIES (continued)

and to so do in order to compensate the  plaintiffs for their  investment in the
STC  debentures,  which were  apparently  in  default  at that  time.  The total
consideration paid for the STC subsidiaries'  assets were 7.65 million shares of
Company  Common  Stock and a  Promissory  Note made by CBQ,  Inc.  for  $700,000
principal amount. The Company is currently  contesting the lawsuit. On April 15,
2004, the Court denied the plaintiffs'  motion for default  judgment and set the
case for discovery and trial.

         On January 25, 2005, the U.S.  District Court for the Southern District
of New York dismissed without prejudice the lawsuit against China Direct Trading
Corporation  in the  previously-  reported civil case styled CELESTE TRUST REG.,
ESQUIRE TRADE,  ET AL. V. CBQ, INC.  (Case# 03 Civ. 9650 RMB; US District Court,
Southern  District  for New York,  12/4/2003).  The lawsuit was  dismissed  in a
response to China Direct Trading Corporation's motion to dismiss. The Plaintiffs
can  refile the  lawsuit if they a  complaint  on or before  March 1, 2005.  The
Plaintiffs  have filed an amended  complaint with the Court on or about February
24,  2005.  The Company has filed a motion to dismiss  the  plaintiff's  amended
complaint, which motion has not be heard or ruled upon by the Court.

         As  reported  previously,  the  Company  has  received  two claims from
certain  former  shareholders  of  Cyberquest,   Inc.  that  they  hold  or  own
approximately  70,000  shares of a class of the Company's  redeemable  preferred
stock  that  was  issued  in  the  Company's  1998  acquisition  of  Cyberquest.
Cyberquest ceased  operations in 2000-2001 period.  The Company has investigated
these claims and has not been able to date to substantiate  any of the claims to
date  and the  claimants  have  not  pursued  their  claims  beyond  an  initial
communication asserting ownership of these shares of serial preferred stock.

NOTE 9 - SUBSIDIARY

         In February  2004,  the Company  established  a new  subsidiary,  China
Pathfinder Fund, LLC, a Florida limited liability  company.  The purpose of this
new   subsidiary  is  to  pursue  the  business  of  acting  as  a  funding  and
merger-and-acquisition agent in the United States and China.

NOTE 10 - ACQUISITION

         On March 18, 2005,  the Company  entered into an agreement  whereby the
Company will acquire 40% of the outstanding  shares of Beijing Hua Wei Furniture
Manufacture  Co.,  Ltd.,  ("HWFM"),  a company  organized  under the laws of the
People's  Republic of China.  The Company was to issue  common  stock  valued at
$1,325,000 at closing to acquire its 40% interest in HWFM. On July 20, 2005, the
Company  announced  the  termination  of this  agreement  because HWFM failed to
satisfy one of the conditions to consummation of the acquisition.

gift,  souvenir  and/or  promotional  product  trade  shows  and more  extensive
face-to-face marketing of SDI to targeted U.S. corporate accounts; (b) establish
CPF's business development business by more extensive  face-to-face marketing of
potential  customers in China by CPF's new Beijing office; and (c) establish CPF
as  a  second  trading  company  operation  that  trades  in  non-SDI  products,
especially  trading  Chinese  commodities  and  manufactured  goods  in the U.S.
through  sales to  wholesalers  and  distributors  as well as sales to end- user
customers.  The Company is seeking to  accomplish  its expansion of its business
lines by internal growth through enhanced,  expanded marketing and sales efforts
and  diversification  of product lines, and by acquiring other companies through
stock-for-stock exchanges.

         The  Company  may  incur   significant   post-merger   or   acquisition
registration costs in the event management wishes to register a portion of their
shares for subsequent  sale. The Company will also incur  significant  legal and
accounting  costs in  connection  with the  acquisition  including  the costs of
preparing post- effective amendments,  Forms 8-K, agreements and related reports
and documents.

         While the Company believes that SDI will be able to generate sufficient
cash flow to pay for SDI's and the  Company's  direct  overhead  costs and, with
respect to SDI, its internal  planned  growth in fiscal year 2005,  SDI does not
generate sufficient cash flow at this time to fund an acquisition  program,  and
funding of the proposed  enhanced and expanded  marketing  and sales efforts for
SDI and CPF. The Company will not have  sufficient  funds  (unless it is able to
raise funds in a private  placement or in  connection  with an  acquisition)  to
undertake any significant business development, or extensive marketing, in terms
of scope of campaign  and  geographical  reach,  of new  products.  Accordingly,
following the acquisition,  the Company will, in all likelihood,  be required to
either seek debt or equity  financing or obtain funding from third  parties,  in
exchange for which the Company may be required to give up a substantial  portion
of its  interest in the  acquired  product or to issue large number of shares of
its capital stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be able either to
obtain  additional  financing or interest third parties in providing funding for
the further development, marketing and manufacturing of any products acquired.

RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS - For the three and six months  ended June 30, 2005,  the
Company had a net loss from  operations of  approximately  $18,000 and $104,000,
respectively.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company had
net income of approximately $42,000 and $120,000, respectively.




<PAGE>



Total  Revenues - For the six months  ended June 30, 2005 and 2004,  the Company
had total sales of  approximately  $465,000 and  $674,000,  respectively,  for a
decrease of approximately $209,000. The decrease in revenues was mainly due to a
one-time order for $90,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Costs and  Expenses  - For the six  months  ended  June 30,  2005 and 2004,  the
Company had cost of sales of approximately $327,000 and $425,000,  respectively.
As a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased from approximately 63% for the
six months  ended June 30, 2004 to  approximately  70% for the six months  ended
June 30,  2005.  The increase in the cost of sales for the six months ended June
30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 is due to advanced payments made
by the  Company to  factories  for  manufacturing.  General  and  administrative
expenses  increased  approximately  $118,000,  from  $117,065 for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 to $235,004  for the six months  ended June 30,  2005.  This
increase is  attributable  primarily to an increase in officer  compensation  as
well as an increase in legal and  professional  fees. The cost of rent and other
general and  administrative  costs also  increased for the six months ended June
30, 2005 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004.

LIQUIDITY  AND CAPITAL  RESERVES.  Historically,  the Company has not  generated
enough cash flow from  operations  to cover its  overhead  costs and the cost of
growth.  The  inadequacy  of cash  flow  and the  inability  of the  Company  to
consistently obtain funding and ongoing funding on commercially reasonable terms
have  undermined  the former  business  operations of the Company and forced the
Company  to obtain  funding  from  management  and  through  the sale of Company
securities.

         As a small  business  and a  penny  stock  company,  the  Company  will
continue to face  difficulty  in obtaining  financing  or funding on  reasonable
commercial  terms. The Company expects future  development and expansion will be
financed  through cash flow from operations and other forms of financing such as
the sale of  additional  equity and debt  securities,  capital  leases and other
credit facilities. There are no assurances that such financing will be available
on terms  acceptable or favorable to the Company.  Further,  the increase in the
number of shares of common stock in the public markets may reduce the ability or
appeal of the Company to future sources of possible financing or funding.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS.  The Company is subject to all pertinent Federal, State,
and Local laws  governing its business.  The Company is subject to licensing and
regulation by a number of  authorities in its State or  municipality.  These may
include health, safety, and fire regulations.

IMPACT OF INFLATION.  To date, the Company has not  experienced  any significant
effect  from  inflation.  The  Company's  major  expenses  have been the cost of
marketing its product lines to customers in North America.  That effort involves
mostly Mr.  Ullman  traveling  to make  direct  marketing  and sales  pitches to
customers  and  potential  customers  as well as  showing  the SDI  products  at
industry  trade shows  around North  America and visiting  China to maintain and
expand SDI's  distribution and  manufacturing  relationships  and channels.  The
Company  generally has been able to meet increase in costs by raising  prices of
its products.



<PAGE>



COUNTRY RISKS. Almost all of the Company's contract manufacturing operations and
sources of  products  are located in China.  As such,  the Company is subject to
significant  risks not  typically  faced by companies  operating in or obtaining
products from North America and Western  Europe.  Political,  economic and trade
conflicts between the United States and China,  including possible conflict over
North Korea's  nuclear  weapons  program or the  independence  of Taiwan,  could
severely  hinder the ability of the Company to obtain products and fill customer
orders  from the  Company's  current  Chinese  manufacturing  sources.  Further,
Chinese commercial law is still evolving to accommodate increasing capitalism in
Chinese society,  especially in terms of commercial  relationships  and dealings
with foreign  companies,  and can be  unpredictable in application or principal.
The same unpredictability exists with respect to the central Chinese government,
which can unilaterally and without prior warning impose new legal,  economic and
commercial  laws,  policies and  procedures.  This  element of  unpredictability
heightens the risk of doing business in China.

         China is also under  international  pressure to value its currency in a
manner  that would  increase  the value of Chinese  currency in respect of other
world  currencies  and thereby  increase the cost of Chinese  goods in the world
market.  The Company does not believe that such  revaluation of Chinese currency
would  adversely  impact  its  business  because of the  low-cost  nature of the
Company's  products and the fact that U.S. dollars is the currency of use in all
of the Company's commercial transactions.

ITEM 3.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

         The Company's Chief Executive  Officer and Chief Financial  Officer are
responsible for establishing and maintaining  disclosure controls and procedures
for the Company. As of the date of this Report,  these two positions are held by
Howard  Ullman.  The  Company  is seeking to find a  qualified  chief  financial
officer for the Company.

         (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

         The  Company's   management  has  reviewed  the  effectiveness  of  its
disclosure  controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and internal control over
financial  reporting (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
Rules  13a-15(f) and  15d-15(f)) as of the fiscal  quarter end of this quarterly
report on Form 10-QSB.

         No matter how well conceived and operated,  an internal  control system
can provide only a certain  level of  confidence  in the ability of the internal
controls  to  identify  errors.  In light  of the  inherent  limitations  in all
internal  control systems and  procedures,  and the limitations of the Company's
resources,  no evaluation of internal  controls can provide  absolute  assurance
that all defects or errors in the  operation of the Company's  internal  control
systems are  immediately  identified.  These  inherent  limitations  include the
realities  that  subjective  judgments in  decision-  making in this area can be
faulty and that a breakdown in internal  processes  can occur because of simple,
god  faith  error  or  mistake.  No  design  can  in all  instances  immediately
accommodate  changes in regulatory  requirements  or changes in the business and
financial  environment  of a company.  Such  inherent  limitations  in a control
system means that inadvertent misstatements due to error or fraud


<PAGE>



may occur and not be  immediately or in a timely manner  detected.  Nonetheless,
the Company  recognizes its ongoing obligation to use its best efforts to design
and apply internal  controls and procedures that are as effective as possible in
identifying errors or breakdowns in the internal controls system and procedures.

         (b) Changes in Internal Controls

         Based on a recent review by the Company, the Company has concluded that
additional  resources need to be assigned to internal  controls and  procedures.
Such  additional  investment  will be used  primarily to recruit an  experienced
chief  financial  officer or outside  public  auditor/consultant  to enhance the
design and  implementation of the Company's internal controls and procedures and
to work with the Audit  Committee to enhance the scope and  thoroughness  of the
internal review process and the level of the that committee's expertise.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On January 25, 2005, the U.S.  District Court for the Southern District
of New York dismissed without prejudice the lawsuit against China Direct Trading
Corporation  in the  previously-  reported civil case styled CELESTE TRUST REG.,
ESQUIRE TRADE,  ET AL. V. CBQ, INC.  (Case# 03 Civ. 9650 RMB; US District Court,
Southern  District  for New York,  12/4/2003).  The lawsuit was  dismissed  in a
response to China Direct Trading Corporation's motion to dismiss. The Plaintiffs
can  refile the  lawsuit if they a  complaint  on or before  March 1, 2005.  The
Plaintiffs  filed an amended  complaint  with the Court on or about February 24,
2005.  While the  Company  currently  intends  to  defend  against  the  Amended
Complaint,  and without  admitting any liability in the matter,  the Company may
also explore settlement of the litigation in order to avoid any further drain by
this federal lawsuit on the Company's resources.  The Company has filed a motion
to dismiss the  plaintiff's  amended  complaint,  which  motion has not yet been
heard or ruled upon by the Court.

         As  reported  previously,  the  Company  has  received  two claims from
certain  former  shareholders  of  Cyberquest,   Inc.  that  they  hold  or  own
approximately  70,000  shares of a class of the Company's  redeemable  preferred
stock  that  was  issued  in  the  Company's  1998  acquisition  of  Cyberquest.
Cyberquest ceased  operations in 2000-2001 period.  The Company has investigated
these claims and has not been able to date to substantiate  any of the claims to
date  and the  claimants  have  not  pursued  their  claims  beyond  an  initial
communication asserting ownership of these shares of serial preferred stock.

         The Company is a defendant to another  lawsuit  concerning a trade show
contract,  but the  Company  does not believe  that this  lawsuit is material in
respect of potential liability of the Company. The Company intends to vigorously
defend itself in this lawsuit.

         No director, officer or affiliate of the Company, or owner of record of
more than five percent (5%) of the  securities of the Company,  or any associate
of any such director, officer or security holder is a party adverse to us or has
a material interest adverse to us in reference to pending litigation.

         We are not  currently  a party to any other legal  proceedings  that we
believe  will have a  material  adverse  effect on our  financial  condition  or
results of operations.

1.       I have  reviewed this  quarterly  report on form 10-QSB of China Direct
         Trading Corporation.

         statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
