NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
 The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Operating results for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2009 Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2010 as well as Form 8-K filed on December 28, 2009.
 
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Kingold Jewelry Inc. (Kingold), its wholly owned subsidiaries, Dragon Lead Group Limited (“Dragon Lead”) and Wuhan Vogue-Show Jewelry Co., Limited (“Wuhan Vogue-Show”) and Wuhan Kingold Jewelry Co., Limited (“Wuhan Kingold”), its 95.83% contractually controlled affiliate. The noncontrolling interests represent the minority stockholders’ 4.17% proportionate share of the results of Wuhan Kingold. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with a bank with an original maturity of less than three months.
 
Restricted cash
 
The Company’s financing facilities require a minimum cash deposit as security for borrowings outstanding under its demand financing facilities. The restricted cash amount is classified as a current asset in the balance sheets since the borrowings it secures are classified as current liabilities. As of September 30, 2010 the balance was $0, compared to the balance of $1,462,587 as of December 31, 2009. Because of our accumulated good credit record, the restricted cash is currently waived by the financing facilities.
 
Accounts Receivables
 
The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and recorded based on managements’ assessment of the credit history with the customers and current relationships with them. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has not recorded any write off of customer receivables and there was no allowance for doubtful accounts established. The Company considers all the accounts receivable fully collectible.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, cost being calculated on the weighted average basis. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchases, costs of fixed and variable production

overheads and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. The Company has not recorded any write down of inventory as a result of the Company’s entire inventory is turned over usually within thirty to sixty days. Therefore, the Company has determined no allowance for inventories is considered necessary for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
 
Property and equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
 
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less estimated residual value over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

   
Estimated Useful Life
Buildings
   
30 years
Plant and machinery
   
15 years
Motor vehicles
   
10 years
Office furniture and electronic equipment
   
5 – 10 years
 
Long-lived assets
 
The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the FASB Codification Topic 360 (ASC Topic 360) “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” In accordance with ASC Topic 360, indefinite-lived intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Finite-lived assets and intangibles are also reviewed for impairment test when circumstance requires it. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, when undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset’s carrying amount, the asset is written down to its fair value. The long-lived assets of the Company, which are subject to evaluation, consist primarily of property, plant and equipment and land use rights. No impairment loss is recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
 
Fair value of financial instruments
 
FASB Codification Topic 825 (“ASC Topic 825”), “Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value of financial instruments is made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
 
The carrying value of accounts receivable, other current assets and prepaid expenses, other payables and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The management of the Company is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)
 
Revenue recognition
 
Net sales are primarily composed of sales of products to wholesale and retail customers and subcontracting fees. The Company recognizes revenues under the FASB Codification Topic 605 (“ASC Topic 605”), Revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: persuasive evidence of arrangement with the customer, services has been performed, fees are fixed or determinable and collectability of the fees is reasonably assured. These criteria as related to the Company’s revenues are considered to have been met as follows:
 
Sales of products
 
The Company recognizes revenue on sales of products when the goods are delivered and title to the goods passes to the customers provided that: there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the sales price is fixed and determinable; and collectability is deemed probable.
 
Sub-contracting fees
 
The Company also provides sub-contracting services to its customers based on a fixed-price contract. The Company recognizes services-based revenue from all its contracts when the services have been performed, the customers have approved the completion of services, invoices have been issued and collectability is deemed probable. The revenues from sub-contracting services only consist of approximately 3.98% of the total revenue recognized.
 
Income taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period included the enactment date.
 
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-25, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” ASC 740-10-25 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on the recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions. The adoption of ASC 740-10-25 has not resulted in any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results.
 
The Company records interest and penalties as a general and administrative expense. The statute of limitations for the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns and certain state income tax returns remain open for tax years 2007 and after. The Company’s foreign tax returns, mainly PRC, remain open for tax years 2008 and after.
 
Foreign currency translation

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)
 
The Company’s principal country of operations is the PRC. The financial position and results of operations of the Company are determined using the local currency (“RMB”) as the functional currency. The results of operations and the statement of cash flows denominated in foreign currency are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. The equity denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”
 
The value of RMB against US$ and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions, Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of US$ reporting.
 
Other comprehensive income
 
The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the financial statements expressed in HK$ and RMB to US$ is reported as other comprehensive income in the statements of operations and stockholders’ equity.
 
Other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $1,319,723 and $72,366, respectively, and for three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $875,704 and $34,589, respectively.
 
Earnings per share
 
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
 
Segments
 
The Company operates in only one segment. As a result, segment disclosure is not presented.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855-10, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855-10”), which establishes principles and standards related to the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. ASC 855-10 requires an entity to recognize, in the financial statements, subsequent events that provide additional information regarding conditions that existed at the balance sheet date. Subsequent events that provide information about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date shall not be recognized in the financial statements under ASC 855-10. ASC 855-10 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods on or after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 855-10 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Company is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled.
 
Kingold was incorporated in the United States and has incurred net operating loss for income tax purpose for 2009 and 2008. Kingold had loss carry forwards of approximately $586,000 for U.S. income tax purposes available for offset against future taxable U.S. income expiring in 2029. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses is uncertain due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded. The valuation allowance as of September 30, 2009 was approximately $200,000.
 
Dragon Lead was incorporated in the BVI and under current laws of the BVI; income earned is not subject to income tax.

ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting and reporting of income taxes recognized in the financial statements and provides how tax benefits may be recognized. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized in subsequent periods. On January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of this topic. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 we had no unrecognized tax benefits.
 
The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties, if any, as income tax expense. The Company files income tax returns with U.S. Federal Government, as well as Delaware State and the Company files returns in foreign jurisdictions of BVI and PRC China.

NOTE 9 — EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
In December 23, 2009, the Company entered into a reverse merger transaction with Dragon Lead. The Company computes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding in accordance with ASC 805. ASC 805 states that in calculating the weighted average shares when a reverse merger took place in the middle of the year, the number of common shares outstanding from the beginning of that period to the acquisition date shall be computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares of the legal acquiree (the accounting acquirer) outstanding during the period multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the merger agreement. The number of common shares outstanding from the acquisition date to the end of that period will be the actual number of common shares of the legal acquirer (the accounting acquiree) outstanding during that period.
 
As of September 30, 2010, the Company had outstanding warrants to acquire 2,685,241 shares of common stock. 2,560,241 warrants have an excise price of $0.996, while 125,000 warrants have an exercise price of $1.196. As of September 30, 2010, all the outstanding warrants were considered dilutive and were included in the weighted average shares-diluted calculation using the treasury stock method.

The statutory reserve funds cannot be used to set off against prior period losses, expansion of production and operation or for the increase in the registered capital of the Company. These reserves are not transferable to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. These reserves are therefore not available for distribution except in liquidation.

Note 11 — WARRANTS
 
In October 2008, prior to the acquisition of Dragon Lead, the Company issued warrants to formers officers and consultants to purchase up to 775,000 shares of common stock, the original exercise price was $0.32 per share, exercisable within 5 years of the date of issue, in connection with the acquisition, the exercise price changed to $1.196 per share with all other terms the same.
 
The Company has determined that the warrants meet the conditions for equity classification pursuant to ASC 815. Therefore, these warrants were classified as equity and included in Additional Paid-in Capital. The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model using the following assumptions: volatility 100%, risk free interest rate 1.51% (no dividend yield) and expected term of four years. The fair value of those warrants was recalculated at the reverse merge date at $1,119,172.
 
In conjunction with the private placement, warrants were issued to investor and placement agent to purchase a total of 2,560,241 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.996 per share, exercisable within five years of the date of issue.

Of the 33,104,234 shares of common stock issued in the Share Exchange, 1,895,609 have been deposited by the majority stockholder of Dragon Lead into escrow to secure these obligations.
 
As the performance threshold was met for fiscal year 2009, 631,869 escrowed shares will be returned to stockholders in 2009, the remaining 1,263,740 shares will be released in fiscal years 2010 and 2011 if the performance thresholds for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 are also met.

Of the $146.0 million increase, $88 million was attributable to increases in production and $58 million was attributable to the increase in the price of gold.

The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the following factors: (1) for the three months ended September 30, 2009, we were still privately held, had relatively lower brand name recognition than we currently do, and our market coverage was smaller than is currently the case, which is in direct contract to the fact that for the three months ended September 30, 2010, we were a public company in the US, and have experienced greater brand recognition, which, in turn, has helped us to enhance our market coverage and attract more customers; (2) our increased working capital has allowed us to take advantage of the increase in demand for the items that we manufacture; (3) we have expanded our business operations into additional geographic areas which, in turn, has broadened sales opportunities, thus allowing us to gain market share in new geographical areas by securing relationships with regional jewelry wholesalers and distributors, such as Shenyang Xinglong Jewelry, Fuzhou Xingfulong Jewelry and Hangzhou Junhao Jewelry; and. (4) we have also made efforts to grow our business in the 24K gold ornament market.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $38,627 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3.1 million for the same period in 2009. This decrease was primarily because we purchased a comparatively higher amount of gold at comparatively higher prices during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 to meet the growing demand for our products. Additionally, as compared to our inventory balance as of December 31, 2009, our inventory increased by $17.9 million over the nine months ending September 30, 2010.

Analysis and Expectations. Our net cash from operating activities can fluctuate significantly due to changes in our inventories. Other factors that may vary significantly include our accounts payable, purchases of gold and income taxes. Looking forward, we expect the net cash that we generate from operating activities to continue to fluctuate as our inventories, receivables, accounts payables and the other factors described above change with increased production and the purchase of larger quantities of raw materials. These fluctuations could cause net cash from operating activities to fall, even if, as we expect, our net income grows as we continue to expand. Although we expect that net cash from operating activities will rise over the long term, we cannot predict how these fluctuations will affect our cash flow in any particular quarter.

Net cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $24,862 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $5,979 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in net cash used in investing activities resulted from an increase in the purchase of property and equipment.

Analysis and Expectations. Our net cash used in investing activities did not fluctuate significantly in the comparable periods. We do not expect that cash used in investing activities will increase significantly in the short term future.

Net cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.34 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The change reflects our repayment of bank loans and the release of a bank loan guarantee, as well as new capital contributions from three institutional investors and one individual investor in September 2009.

Analysis and Expectations. We expect that cash generated from financing activities may increase significantly as a result of additional financing being obtained.
