AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2025 (Expressed in U.S. dollars) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Gulf Resources, Inc. (“Gulf Resources”), a Nevada corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gulf Resources, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Upper Class Group Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, which owns 100% of Hong Kong Jiaxing Industrial Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong (“HKJI”). HKJI owns 100% of Shouguang City Haoyuan Chemical Company Limited (“SCHC”) which owns 100% of Shouguang Yuxin Chemical Industry Co., Limited (“SYCI”) ,Daying County Haoyuan Chemical Company Limited (“DCHC”) and Shouguang Hengde Salt Industry Co. Ltd. (“SHSI”). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. (b) Going Concern Consideration The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis, meaning that the enterprise is expected to realize the assets and settle the liabilities through normal business operations. However, the going concern of the enterprise relies on many factors, such as profitable operations, generating operating cash flows, obtaining financing, etc. The company assesses its liquidity by monitoring cash and cash equivalents, as well as operating and capital expenditure commitments. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had current assets of $ 20.28 million and current liabilities of $ 10.00 million. As a result, the surplus was $ 10.28 million, but it has suffered losses for the six months ended by June 30, 2025. If it is unable to raise additional funds, it may need to take measures such as cutting administrative and operational costs and saving funds. If there are significant doubts regarding the Company’s ability to continue operations, the Company is attempting to alleviate such concerns through measures such as controlling operating expenses, shifting business focus to revenue-generating activities, obtaining authorization from domestic banks and other financial institutions, and seeking equity or debt financing. Additionally, the Company will also obtain financial support commitments from related parties. However, these situations still pose significant doubts regarding the Company’s ability to continue operations. The financial statements do not consider the potential impact on the recoverability of assets, classification, and amounts and classification of liabilities if the Company is unable to continue operations. (c) Nature of Business The Company manufactures and trades bromine through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shouguang City Haoyuan Chemical Company Limited (“SCHC”); manufactures and trades crude salt through its wholly-owned subsidiary, SHSI; and manufactures chemical products for use in the oil industry, pesticides, paper manufacturing industry and for human and animal antibiotics through its wholly- owned subsidiary, Shouguang Yuxin Chemical Industry Co., Limited (“SYCI”) in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). DCHC was established to further explore and develop natural gas and brine resources (including bromine and crude salt) in the PRC. DCHC commenced trial operation in January 2019 but temporarily suspended its production in May 2019, as required by the government to obtain project approval (see Note 1 (c)(iii)). (i) Bromine and Crude Salt Segments In February 2019, the Company received a notification from the local government of Yangkou County that its Factory No. 1, No. 4, No. 7 and No. 9 passed inspection and could resume operations. In April 2019, Factory No. 1, and Factory No. 7 resumed operation. 7 GULF RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2025 (Expressed in U.S. dollars) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued On November 25, 2019, the government of Shouguang City issued a notice ordering all bromine facilities in Shouguang City, including the Company’s bromine facilities, including Factory No. 1 and Factory No. 7, to temporarily stop production from December 16, 2019 to February 10, 2020. Subsequently, due to the coronavirus outbreak in China, the local government ordered those bromine facilities to postpone the commencement of production. Subsequently, the Company received an approval dated February 27, 2020 issued by the local governmental authority allowing the Company to resume production after the winter temporary closure. Further, the Company received another approval from the Shouguang Yangkou People’s Government dated March 5, 2020 allowing the Company to resume production at its bromine factories No. 1, No. 4, No. 7 and No. 9 in order to meet the needs of bromide products for epidemic prevention and control (the “March 2020 Approval”). The Company’s Factories No. 1 and No. 7 commenced trial production in mid-March 2020 and commercial production on April 3, 2020 and its Factories No. 4 and No. 9 commenced commercial production on May 6, 2020. The Company received verbal notification from the government regarding Factory No. 8, allowing it to recommence production in August 2022. Factory No. 8 began contributing revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company is still waiting for governmental approval for Factories No. 2 and No. 10. To our knowledge, the government is currently completing its planning process for all mining areas including that for prevention of flood. As a result, we may be required to make some modifications to our current wells and aqueducts prior to commencement of operations of these factories to satisfy the local government’s requirements. In April 2022, Shouguang Hengde Salt Industry Co. Ltd, our subsidiary, was incorporated in Shandong Province, China, for crude salt production and trading. This subsidiary was created in response to a new government policy that required bromine and crude salt companies to have separate registrations. The creation of this subsidiary and the separation of bromine and crude salt do not impact sales or overall profits. However, the establishment of this subsidiary has resulting in a reallocation of costs between bromine and crude salt. (ii) Chemical Segment On November 24, 2017, the Company received a letter from the Government of Yangkou County, Shouguang City notifying the Company to relocate its two chemical production plants located in the second living area of the Qinghe Oil Extraction to the Bohai Marine Fine Chemical Industrial Park (“Bohai Park”). This was because the two plants were located in a residential area and their production activities impacted the living environment of the residents. This was as a result of the country’s effort to improve the development of the chemical industry, manage safe production and curb environmental pollution accidents effectively, and ensure the quality of the living environment of residents. All chemical enterprises which did not comply with the requirements of the safety and environmental protection regulations were ordered to shut down. In December 2017, the Company secured from the government the land use rights for its chemical plants located at the Bohai Park and in June 2018, the Company presented a completed construction design draft and other related documents to the local authorities for approval. In January 2020, the Company received the environmental protection approval by the government of Shouguang City, Shandong Province for the proposed Yuxin Chemical factory. The Company began the construction on its new chemical facilities located at Bohai Marine Fine Chemical Industrial Park in June 2020 and basically completed the civil works by the end of June 2021. On November 15, 2021, the Company announced that due to the supply chain issues as well as the electric restrictions in China, the delivery of some equipment, the equipment installation and testing and beginning trial production at the chemical factory had been delayed. On February 22, 2022, the Company announced that discussions with the government have convinced management that the electricity restrictions were eased. Accordingly, the Company contacted its suppliers and expected to have the remainder of the equipment produced and delivered, so the Company can complete installation and begin testing and trial production. The Company estimates this relocation process will cost approximately $ 69 million in total. The Company incurred relocation costs comprising prepaid land lease, professional fees related to the design of the new chemical factory, purchase of plant and equipment and construction costs and installation costs incurred for the new chemical factory in the amount of $ 45,584,344 and $ 45,584,344 , which were recorded in the property, plant and equipment in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 8 GULF RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2025 (Expressed in U.S. dollars) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued The Company suspended the construction in the chemical factory until it decide what products can be produced most profitably. (iii) Natural Gas Segment In January 2017, the Company completed the first brine water and natural gas well field construction in Daying located in SichuanProvince, China, and commenced trial production in January 2019. On May 29, 2019, the Company received a verbal notice from the government of Tianbao Town, Daying County, Sichuan Province, whereby the Company is required to obtain project approval for its well located in Daying, including the whole natural gas and brine water project, and approvals for safety production inspection,environmental protection assessment, and to solve the related land issue. Until these approvals have been received, the Company has to temporarily halt trial production at its natural gas well in Daying. In compliance with the Chinese government new policies, the Company is also required to obtain an exploration license and a mining license for bromine and natural gas, respectively. Pursuant to the Opinions of the Ministry of Natural Resources on Several Issues in Promoting the Reform of Mineral Resources Management(Trial) promulgated by the Ministry of Natural Resources of PRC on January 9, 2020, which came into effect on May 1, 2020, privately owned enterprises are allowed to participate in the natural gas production. The Company plans to proceed with its applications for the natural gas and brine project approvals with related government departments until the governmental planning has been finalized. (d) 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 and this requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant accounting estimates with regard to these consolidated financial statements that require the most significant and subjective judgments include, but are not limited to, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, recoverability of long-lived assets, determination of impairment losses, assessment of market value of inventories and provision for inventory obsolescence, allowance for doubtful accounts, recognition and measurement of deferred income taxes, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and assumptions used for the valuation of share based payments. Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. (e) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Because of short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values. (f) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts We make estimates of the uncollectibility of accounts receivable, especially analyzing accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms, when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Credit evaluations are undertaken for all major sale transactions before shipment is authorized. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate aged items in the accounts receivable aging report and provide an allowance in an amount we deem adequate for doubtful accounts. If management were to make different judgments or utilize different estimates, material differences in the amount of our reported operating expenses could result. (g) Concentration of Credit Risk The Company is exposed to credit risk in the normal course of business, primarily related to accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. Substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained with financial institutions in the PRC, namely, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited, China Merchants Bank Company Limited and Sichuan Rural Credit Union, which are not insured or otherwise protected. The Company placed $ 7,736,081 and $ 10,075,162 with these institutions as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts in the PRC. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable exists as the Company sells a substantial portion of its products to a limited number of customers. However, such concentrations of credit risks are limited since the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and extends credit terms as and when appropriate. 9 GULF RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2025 (Expressed in U.S. dollars) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued (h) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Expenditures for new facilities or equipment, and major expenditures for betterment of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and depreciated, when available for intended use, using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs less 5% residual value over the estimated productive lives. All other ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral rights are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Mineral rights are amortized ratably over the term of the lease, or the equivalent term under the units of production method, whichever is shorter. Construction in process primarily represents direct costs of construction of property, plant and equipment. Costs incurred are capitalized and transferred to property, plant and equipment upon completion and depreciation will commence when the completed assets are placed in service. The Company’s depreciation and amortization policies on property, plant and equipment, other than mineral rights and construction in process, are as follows: SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Useful life ( in years) Mineral rights 50 Leasehold improvements 8 - 20 Plant and machinery (including protective shells, transmission channels and ducts) 3 - 8 Motor vehicles 5 Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 - 8 Producing oil and gas properties are depreciated on a unit-of-production basis over the proved developed reserves. Common facilities that are built specifically to service production directly attributed to designate oil and gas properties are depreciated based on the proved developed reserves of the respective oil and gas properties on a pro-rata basis. Common facilities that are not built specifically to service identified oil and gas properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Costs associated with significant development projects are not depreciated until commercial production commences and the reserves related to those costs are excluded from the calculation of depreciation. (i) Asset Retirement Obligation The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”), which established a uniform methodology for accounting for estimated reclamation and abandonment costs. FASB ASC 410 requires the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be recognized in the period in which the legal obligation associated with the retirement of the long-lived asset is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the offset is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. To settle the liability, the obligation is paid, and to the extent there is a difference between the liability and the amount of cash paid, a gain or loss upon settlement is recorded. Currently, there are no reclamation or abandonment obligations associated with the land being utilized for exploitation by the bromine and crude salt factories. Also, for the two chemical plants that are to be relocated, currently, there are no obligations to restore the land to its original condition. (j) Recoverability of Long-lived Assets In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10- 35 ”Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets” , long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of those assets are no longer appropriate. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. The Company determines the existence of such impairment by measuring the expected future cash flow (undiscounted and without interest charges) and comparing such amount to the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss, if one exists, is then measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the discounted estimated future cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value of such assets less costs to sell. Asset impairment charges are recorded to reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived asset that will be sold or disposed of to their estimated fair values. Charges for asset impairment reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived assets to their estimated salvage value in connection with the decision to dispose of such assets. For the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company determined that there were no events or circumstances indicating possible impairment of its long-lived assets. 10 GULF RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2025 (Expressed in U.S. dollars) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued (k) Retirement Benefits Pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, the Company participates in a defined contribution retirement plan for its employees arranged by a governmental organization. The Company makes contributions to the retirement plan at the applicable rate based on the employees’ salaries. The required contributions under the retirement plans are charged to the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) on an accrual basis when they are due. The Company’s contributions totaled $ 123,099 and $ 100,290 for the three- month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and totaled $ 296,584 and $ 223,413 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. (l) Mineral Rights The Company follows FASB ASC 805 “Business Combinations” that certain mineral rights are considered tangible assets and that mineral rights should be accounted for based on their substance. Mineral rights are included in property, plant and equipment. (m) Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in finance lease ROU assets and finance lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on January 1, 2019, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term discounted using the rate implicit in the lease. In cases where the implicit rate is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected not to recognize operating lease ROU assets and liabilities arising from short-term lease. Finance leases are initially recorded at the net present value of future minimum lease payments, which include certain lease and non- lease components. Finance leases generally have one of these five attributes: 1) ownership of the underlying asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term, 2) the lease agreement contains a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, 3) the lease term represents the major part of the asset’s economic life, 4) the present value of lease payments over the lease term equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset, and 5) the underlying asset is so specialized in nature that it provides no alternative use to the lessor after the lease term. Finance Lease Assets are presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. (n) Reporting Currency and Translation The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”), as the functional currency; whereas the functional currency and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“USD” or “$”). As such, the Company uses the “current rate method” to translate its PRC operations from RMB into USD, as required under FASB ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”. The assets and liabilities of its PRC operations are translated into USD using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. The capital accounts are translated at the historical rate. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the balance sheets of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are recorded in stockholders’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The statement of comprehensive income (loss) is translated at average rate during the reporting period. Gains or losses resulting from transactions in currencies other than the functional currencies are recognized in net loss for the reporting periods as part of general and administrative expenses. The statement of cash flows is translated at average rate during the reporting period, with the exception of the consideration paid for the acquisition of business which is translated at historical rates. (o) Revenue Recognition Net revenue is net of discount and value added tax and comprises the sale of bromine, crude salt and chemical products. Revenue is recognized when the control of the promised goods is transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive from the customers in exchange for those goods. The acknowledgement of receipt of goods by the customers is when control of the product is deemed to be transferred. Invoicing occurs upon acknowledgement of receipt of the goods by the customers. Customers have no rights to return the goods upon acknowledgement of receipt of goods. Revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated in Note 17. 11 GULF RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2025 (Expressed in U.S. dollars) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued (p) Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share of Common Stock Basic earnings per common stock are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share are computed using weighted average number of common stocks plus dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential common stocks that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share are considered to be anti-dilutive, i.e. the exercise prices of the outstanding stock options were greater than the market price of the common stock. Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents which were excluded from the calculation of number of dilutive common stock equivalents amounted to 0 and 0 shares for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Because the Company reported a net loss for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, common stock equivalents including stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive, therefore the amounts reported for basic and diluted loss per share were the same. (q) Foreign Operations All of the Company’s operations and assets are located in PRC. The Company may be adversely affected by possible political or economic events in this country. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted. (r) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in first-out cost basis, or net realizable value. Costs of work-in-progress and finished goods comprise direct materials, direct labor and an attributable portion of manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is based on estimated selling price less costs to complete and selling expenses. 12 GULF RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2025 (Expressed in U.S. dollars) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued (s) Stock-based Compensation Stock-based awards issued to employees are recorded at their fair values estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes model and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. Consistent with the accounting requirement for employee stock-based awards, nonemployee stock-based awards are measured at the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the Company is obligated to issue when the good has been delivered or the service has been rendered and any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied. The Company has elected to account for the forfeiture of stock-based awards as they occur. (t) Loss Contingencies The Company accrues for loss contingencies relating to legal matters, including litigation defense costs, claims and other contingent matters, including liquidated damage liabilities, when such liabilities become probable and could be reasonably estimable. Such estimates may be based on advice from third parties or on management’s judgment, as appropriate. Revisions to accruals are reflected in earnings (loss) in the period in which different facts or information become known or circumstances change that affect the Company’s previous assumptions with respect to the likelihood or amount of loss. Amounts paid upon the ultimate resolution of such liabilities may be materially different from previous estimates. (u) Income Tax The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC, which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts at each period end. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The deferred income tax effects of a change in tax rates are recognized in the period of enactment. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. The guidance also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable based solely on its technical merits. Interests and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are included within the (benefit from) provision for income tax in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). (v) New Accounting Pronouncements Recent accounting pronouncements adopted There were no recent accounting pronouncements adopted during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted There were no recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted during the six months ended June 30, 2025. (w) Fair Value Measurement The Company applies Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands financial statement disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) on the measurement date in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques, which is based on whether the inputs into the valuation technique are observable or unobservable. The hierarchy is as follows: Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in active markets or in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature. The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, amounts due to related parties, other receivables, accounts payable and other current payables. There were no material unrecognized financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and 2024. 13 GULF RESOURCES, INC.

NOTE 5 – PREPAID LAND LEASES The Company has the rights to use certain parcels of land located in Shouguang, Shandong, PRC, through lease agreements signed with local townships or the government authority. The production facilities and warehouses of the Company are located on these parcels of land. The lease term ranges from ten 10 to fifty years . Some of the lease contracts were paid in one lump sum upfront and some are paid annually at the beginning of each anniversary date. These leases have no purchase option at the end of the lease term and were classified as operating leases prior to and as of January 1, 2019 when the new lease standard was adopted. Prior to January 2019, the prepaid land lease was amortized on a straight line basis. As of January 1, 2019, all the leases in which term has commenced and were in use were classified as operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU”). See Note 9. In December 2017, the Company paid a one lump sum upfront amount of $ 8,883,165 for a 50-year lease of a parcel of land at Bohai Marine Fine Chemical Industrial Park (“Bohai”) for the new chemical factory under construction. There is no purchase option at the end of the lease term. This was classified as an operating lease prior to and as of January 1, 2019. The land use certificate was issued on October 25, 2019. The lease term expires on August 12, 2069 . The amount paid was recorded as prepaid land leases, net of current portion in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, the prepaid land lease increased to $ 9,242,933 due to an additional amount paid for stamp duty and related land use rights fees. Amortization of this prepaid land lease will commence when the chemical factory is completed and placed in service. 14 GULF RESOURCES, INC.

The Decisions challenged the land use of Factory nos. 2, 9, 7, 4, 8 and 10, respectively, and alleged, among other things, that SCHC had illegally occupied and used the land in the total area of approximately 52,674 square meter, on which Factory nos. 2, 9, 7, 4, 8 and 10 were built, respectively. The Written Decisions ordered SCHC, among other things, to return the land subject to the Written Decisions to its respective legal owner, restore the land to its original state, and demolish or confiscate all the buildings and facilities thereon and pay monetary penalty of approximately RMB 1.3 million ($184,000) in the aggregate. Each of the Written Decisions shall be executed within 15 days upon serving on SCHC. Additional interest penalty shall be imposed at a daily rate of 3% in the event that SCHC does not make the monetary penalty payment in a timely manner. Subsequently, the Bureau filed enforcement actions to the People’s Court of Shouguang City, Shandong Province (the “Court”), naming SCHC as enforcement respondent and alleged, among other things, that SCHC failed to perform its obligations under each of the Written Decisions within the specified timeframe. The enforcement proceedings sought court orders to enforce the Written Decisions. On May 5, 2019, written decisions of administrative ruling captioned (2019) Lu 0783 Xing Shen No. 384, (2019) Lu 0783 Xing Shen No. 385, (2019) Lu 0783 Xing Shen No. 389, (2019) Lu 0783 Xing Shen No. 390, (2019) Lu 0783 Xing Shen No. 393, and (2019) Lu 0783 Xing Shen No. 394, respectively (together, the “Court Rulings”) were made by the Court in favor of the Bureau. The Court orders, among other relief, to enforce each of the Written Decisions, to return each subject land to its legal owners and demolish or confiscate the buildings and facilities thereon and restore the land to its original state within 10 days from the service of the Court Rulings on SCHC. The Court Rulings became enforceable immediately upon service on SCHC on May 5, 2019. In the last twenty years, to the Company’s knowledge, there were no government regulations requiring bromine manufacturers to obtain land use and planning approval document. As such, the Company believes most of the bromine manufacturers in Shouguang City do not have land use and planning approval documents and lease their land parcels from the village associations. They are facing the same issues in connection with land use and planning as the Company. To the Company’s knowledge, the local government has submitted its plan to solve the issues to higher authority and are waiting for approval from the higher authority. The Company is in the process of resolving the issues in connection with SCHC’s land use and planning diligently. The Company has been in discussions closely with the local government authorities with the help from Shouguang City Bromine Association to seek reliefs and, based on verbal confirmation by local government authorities, believes the administrative penalties imposed by the Bureau according to the Written Decisions are being re-assessed by local government authorities and may be revoked. Pursuant to a Written Application dated October 28, 2019 addressed to the Court by the Bureau, the Bureau withdrew its application for the enforcement proceedings regarding the administrative penalty imposed on Factory No. 7, Factory No. 8 and Factory No.10. Pursuant to a written decisions of administrative ruling captioned (2019) Lu 0783 Xing Shen No. 389 Zhi Yi, dated November 25, 2020, the Court orders to terminate the enforcement of the case captioned (2019) Lu 0783 Xing Shen No. 389. Production of Factory No.7 was allowed to resume in April 2019. The Company received a notification from the Shouguang City Government in February 2019 informing the Company that Factory No. 1, No. 4, No. 7 and No. 9 have passed inspection and were approved to resume operation. In addition, on August 28, 2019, the People’s Government of Shandong Province, issued a regulation titled “Investment Project Management Requirements of Chemical Companies in Shandong Province” permitting the construction of facilities on existing sites or infrastructure of bromine manufacturing and other chemical industry-related types of projects (clause 11 of section 3). The Company believes that the goal of the government is to standardize and regulate the industry and not to demolish the facilities or penalize the manufacturers. As of the date of this report, the Company has not been notified by the local government that it will take any measure to enforce the administrative penalties. Based on information known to date, the Company believes that it is remote that the Written Decisions or Court Rulings will be enforced within the expected timeframe and a material penalty or costs and expenses against the Company will result. However, there can be no assurance that there will not be any further enforcement action, the occurrence of which may result in further liabilities, penalties and operational disruption. In view of the above facts and circumstances, the Company believes that it is not necessary to accrue for any estimated losses or impairment as of June 30, 2025. 26 NOTE 21 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date on which these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. On July 3, 2025, the Company filed a shelf registration statement covering up to $ 10,000,000 of common stock, preferred stock, and warrants, individually or in combination. The registration statement provides that any future offerings will be made pursuant to applicable prospectus supplements, which will set forth the specific terms of each offering and the manner of sale. Effective on October 27, 2025, the Company completed a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our common stock, such that for each ten shares outstanding prior to the stock split there was one share outstanding after the reverse stock split. All shares of common stock referenced in this report have been adjusted to reflect the stock split figures. On October 27, 2025, our shares began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the new CUSIP # 40251W507.

The Company subsequently effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split on October 27, 2025, and filed an appeal with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel on November 7, 2025, and expects that these actions will enable it to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and continue trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “GURE” . On November 12, 2025, the Company issued a press release providing certain updates on its hearing process with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The Company has received a hearing notification letter from Nasdaq scheduling an oral hearing for December 9, 2025. As of Monday, November 10, 2025, the Company’s common stock had maintained a closing bid price at or above $ 1.00 for more than ten consecutive trading days. In light of the above and in accordance with the instructions provided by the hearing notification letter, the Company has submitted a request to cancel the hearing, subject to the Company’s Listing Analyst review and confirmation. On December 1, 2025, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC stating that the Company had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Consequently, the hearing before the Hearings Panel scheduled to take place on December 9, 2025, has been cancelled. The Company’s securities will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market. On December 2, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing that it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.  On December 10, 2025, Shouguang City Haoyuan Chemical Company Limited (the “Seller”), a company incorporated in the PRC and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an equity transfer agreement (the “SPA”) with Shandong Rongyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (the “Purchaser”) and Shouguang Yuxin Chemical Industry Co., Limited (the “Target Company”).Pursuant to the SPA, the Seller agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to purchase, 100 % of the equity interests in the Target Company for an aggregate consideration of RMB 21.2 million (payable in instalments through 2028), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the SPA (“Sale”). The Company’s board of directors (“Board”) reviewed the terms of the SPA, including the consideration, conditions and payment arrangements. The Board affirmed the Seller’s entry into the SPA and affirmed that the SPA and the transaction thereunder are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders as a whole. On December 18, 2025, the Company announced that it had received the notification from the Shouguang Municipal People’s Government Office (the “Government of Shouguang City”) dated on December 15, 2025. To comply with the notice issued by the Government of Shouguang City, the Company expects to temporarily suspend the relevant operations in Shouguang City during the aforementioned period. On March 2, 2026, the Company announced that its relevant operations in Shouguang City had been resumed in compliance with the Notice. 27 On January 9, 2026, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) is filed by the Registrant for the purpose of registering (i) 103,378 common stocks of the Company, par value 0.0005 per share (the “Common Stocks”) issued under the Company’s 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), after giving effect of the 10-to-1 reserve stock split as previously announced on Form 8-K filed with SEC on October 22, 2025 and (ii) 200,000 Common Stocks issuable pursuant to the Company’s 2025 Stock incentive plan (the “2025 Plan”). Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this registration statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional shares which may be offered and issued to prevent dilution from share splits, share dividends or similar transactions as provided in the Plan. Any common stocks covered by an award granted under the Plan (or portion of an award) that terminates, expires, lapses or repurchased for any reason will be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate number of common stocks that may be issued under the Plan. On January 26, 2026, March 5, 2026, March 19, 2026 and March 28, 2026, respectively, the Company entered into equity financing agreements (individually the “Private Placement Agreement”; collectively the “Private Placement Agreements”), with four individual investors (individually the “Private Placement Purchaser”; collectively “Private Placement Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue new shares of common stock to such investors that in aggregate accounted for approximately 18% of the total shares issued and outstanding of the Company as of December 31, 2025. The purchase price per share under the Private Placement Agreement dated January 26, 2026, was set at 90% of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days prior to the date of such agreement, while the purchase prices under the Private Placement Agreements executed in March 2026 were set at 85% of, or 15% off, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the respective agreement dates, as quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market . On June 25, 2026, Company received a written notice from Nasdaq (the “Extension Letter”) stating that it had accepted the Company’s plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”). Nasdaq granted the Company a plan period to regain compliance with the Rule. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this current report on Form 8-K have the meanings given to them in the Previous Announcements (as defined below). (I) As previously reported in the current report on Forms 8-K (the “Previous Announcements”) filed on April 27, 2026 and May 29, 2026 with the Securities Exchange Commission by the Company, the Company announced that it received delinquency notifications from Nasdaq on April 23, 2026 and May 26, 2026 (the “Deficiency Letters”), due to the Company’s non-compliance with the Rule as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its annual report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) for the period ended December 31, 2025 and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026 (the “Form 10-Q” and together with the “Form 10-K”, the “Delinquent Reports”), respectively. As of the date of this Form 8-K, the Company remains delinquent in filing its Delinquent Reports. (II) The Company submitted a plan to the Nasdaq Listing Qualification (the “Staff”) to regain compliance (the “Compliance Plan”) with the Nasdaq Requirements on June 17, 2026. Under the Extension Letter, the Company is required to file its delinquent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q by the applicable extended deadline to evidence compliance with the relevant Nasdaq requirements.The Extension Letter further provides that if the Company fails to evidence compliance upon filing the Delinquent Reports, Staff will notify the Company that its securities will be subject to delisting. (III)The previously received Deficiency Letters and the Extension Letter have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s continued compliance with the other applicable listing requirements. (IV)The Company is committed to taking the actions set forth in the plan and intends to use all reasonable efforts to regain compliance with the initiatives and conditions set forth in the Compliance Plan within the plan period. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in regaining compliance with the Nasdaq Requirements within the planned period. Because the Company had not filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Nasdaq notified the Company on August 28, 2026 that the Company had incurred an additional delinquency under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”). On August 28, 2026, the Company submitted an updated compliance plan to Nasdaq requesting additional time to file this Quarterly Report. On September 2, 2026, Nasdaq granted the Company an additional exception period and required the Company to file this Quarterly Report on or before October 12, 2026. Nasdaq stated that, if the Company failed to file this Quarterly Report by that date, Nasdaq Staff may provide written notification that the Company’s securities are subject to delisting. The Company may have the right to appeal a delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. There were no other subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these condensed consolidated financial statements. 28 NOTE 22 – RESTATEMENT The Company restates its previously released unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and incorporate them into the 2025 Quarterly Report “10-Q Form Report” (the “Restatement”). This restatement is due to the discovery of errors related to the reclassification of buildings without property ownership certificates in fixed assets . As the Company does not have property ownership certificates, the acquisition of the 20-year usage rights for this land, buildings, and salt pan conforms to the definition of a lease as stated in ASC 842. The Company revised the financial statements and accounted for these usage rights as leases in accordance with the provisions of ASC 842. The effects of the restatement on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, are summarized in the following table: SCHEDULE OF RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As Previously Reported Restatement Note As Restated December 31, 2024 As Previously Reported Restatement Note As Restated Current Assets Cash $ 10,075,162 — $ 10,075,162 Accounts receivable, net 564,523 — 564,523 Inventories, net 315,371 — 315,371 Prepayments and deposits, net 6,376,656 — 6,376,656 Amount due from related parties 25,040 — 25,040 Other receivables 94,074 — 94,074 Total current assets 17,450,826 — 17,450,826 Non-Current Assets Property, plant and equipment, net 136,143,177 ( 46,712,127 ) (b) 89,431,050 Finance lease right-of-use assets 76,868 45,078,420 (b) 45,155,288 Operating lease right-of-use assets 6,169,855 — 6,169,855 Prepaid land leases, net of current portion 9,615,269 — 9,615,269 Deferred tax assets, net — — — Total non-current assets 152,005,169 ( 1,633,707 ) 150,371,462 Total Assets 169,455,995 ( 1,633,707 ) 167,822,288 Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity Current Liabilities Short-term bank borrowing Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 14,323,458 ( 7,878,181 ) (c) $ 6,445,277 Taxes payable-current 113,999 — 113,999 Amount due to related parties 2,584,808 — 2,584,808 Finance lease liabilities, current portion 217,743 3,124,550 (c) 3,342,293 Operating lease liabilities, current portion 491,850 — 491,850 Total current liabilities 17,731,858 ( 4,753,631 ) 12,978,227 Non-Current Liabilities Finance lease liabilities, net of current portion 1,075,865 4,014,019 (c) 5,089,884 Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion 6,941,602 — 6,941,602 Long-term bank borrowing Total non-current liabilities 8,017,467 4,014,019 12,031,486 Total Liabilities 25,749,325 ( 739,612 ) 25,009,713 Commitment and Contingencies — — — Stockholders’ Equity PREFERRED STOCK;

(a) The change in common stock and additional paid-in capital is due to the Company’s 1-for-10 reverse stock split on October 27, 2025. (b) As of December 31, 2024, in the fixed assets, the original value of the buildings subject to reclassification amounted to $ 68,476,868 . The Company reclassified them based on their acquisition methods. The self-built portion was reclassified as “leasehold improvements” in the property, plant and equipment, with an original value of $ 3,507,367 . The leased portion was reclassified as finance lease right-of-use assets, with an original value of $ 64,189,590 , accumulated amortization of $ 19,111,170 , and a net value of $ 45,078,720 . 30 As of June 30, 2025, in the fixed assets, the original value of the buildings and Construction in process subject to reclassification amounted to $ 66,899,438 . The Company reclassified them based on their acquisition methods. The self-built portion was reclassified as “leasehold improvements” in the property, plant and equipment, with an original value of $ 3,521,992 . The leased portion was reclassified as finance lease right-of-use assets, with an original value of $ 64,457,219 , accumulated amortization of $ 20,743,025 , and a net value of $ 43,714,194 . (c) The amount in accounts payable and accrued expenses was reclassified as finance lease liability relating to the salt pans. (d) Regarding the decrease in retained earnings unappropriated, the main reason was the increase in expenses. The increase in expenses is mainly due to the reclassification of the financial lease right-of-use asset.
