Forward looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and include statements regarding, among other things, our projected sales, profitability and cash flows, our growth strategies, anticipated trends in our industries, our future financing plans and our anticipated needs for working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These statements may be found under the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” as well as in this prospectus generally. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, and the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and financial results.

Examples of forward-looking statements in this prospectus include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our business strategy, business prospects, operating results, working capital, liquidity, capital expenditure requirements and future acquisitions. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the cost, terms and availability of gold, pricing levels, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, competitive conditions, general economic conditions and synergies relating to acquisitions, joint ventures and alliances. These statements are based on our management’s expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future events affecting us, which in turn are based on currently available information. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those

contained in any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are based on assumptions management believes are reasonable. However, due to the uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update any of them in light of new information, future events, or otherwise.

The terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Kingold” mean Kingold Jewelry, Inc. (formerly known as Activeworlds Corp.), and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Dragon Lead, a BVI corporation, Wuhan Vogue-Show Jewelry Co., Ltd. (or Vogue-Show), a PRC wholly foreign owned enterprise, and Wuhan Kingold Jewelry Company Limited, (or Wuhan Kingold), our contractually controlled entity and a PRC company limited by shares, unless otherwise indicated.

Kingold Jewelry, Inc.

Through a variable interest entity, or VIE, relationship with Wuhan Kingold Jewelry Company Limited, we are one of the leading professional designers and manufacturers of 24 Karat gold jewelry and Chinese ornaments developing, promoting, and selling a broad range of products to the rapidly expanding Chinese luxury goods market in the central part of the Peoples Republic of China, or PRC, including Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Jiangxi, Anhui and Sichuan Provinces.

According to accreditations provided by the China Gold Association, we ranked as one of the top three gold jewelry manufacturers in China in both 2008 and 2009. We offer a wide range of in-house designed products including, but not limited to, gold necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, and pendants. We launch as many as 900 new products each month and approximately 10,000 every year.

We have historically sold our products directly to distributors, retailers and other wholesalers, who then sell our products to consumers through retail counters located in both department stores and other traditional stand-alone jewelry stores. We sell our products to our customers at a price that reflects the market price of the base material (24 Karat gold), plus a mark-up reflecting our design fees and processing fees. Typically this mark-up ranges from 4 – 6% of the price of the base material.

We aim to become an increasingly important participant in the PRC’s gold jewelry design and manufacturing sector. In addition to expanding our design and manufacturing capabilities, our goal is to provide a large variety of gold products in unique styles and superior quality under our brand, Kingold or Jin Huang ().

We are located in Wuhan of Hubei Province, which is the fourth largest city in the PRC in terms of population. During 2009, we produced approximately 16 tons of 24 Karat gold products.

Our Strengths

We believe the following strengths contribute to our competitive advantages and differentiate us from our competitors:

•   We have a proven manufacturing capability.  We have developed seven proprietary processes which we believe are well integrated and are crucial to gold jewelry manufacturing.

•   We have a proven design capability.  We have a large and experienced in-house design team with a track record of developing products that are fashionable and well received in the jewelry market.

•   We believe that we have a superior brand awareness in China.  We have established the Kingold brand through our focused sales and marketing efforts, and we believe it is well known in China.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•   We have a well established distribution network throughout China.  We have been actively operating in this industry for more than six years since the gold jewelry industry became open to the private sector in 2002.

•   We believe that we have significant advantages when compared to our competitors in the areas of capacity, technology and talent.  We have expanded our capacity significantly in recent years. In 2009, we produced 24K gold jewelry and Chinese ornaments with a total weight of approximately 16 tons, as opposed to 14 tons and 11 tons, in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

•   We are a member of the Shanghai Gold Exchange which has very limited membership.  We have been a member of the Shanghai Gold Exchange since 2003. Although the Chinese government eliminated the absolute restriction on trading gold in general, the right to purchase gold directly from the Shanghai Gold Exchange is limited.

•   We have an experienced management team in the Chinese gold industry.  We have a strong and stable management team with valuable experience in the PRC jewelry industry.

Our Strategy

Our goal is to be the leading vertically-integrated designer, manufacturer and retailer of 24 Karat gold jewelry products in China. We intend to achieve our goal by implementing the following strategies:

•   We intend to increase our capacity.  We intend to continue to expand the production capacity by purchasing additional gold.

•   We plan to continue to specialize in the design and manufacture of 24 Karat gold jewelry.  We intend to continue to leverage our experience in jewelry design to introduce new fashionable products with strong market recognition, such as our M gold jewelry line of products.

•   We intend to further promote and improve the use of our brand.  We intend to make significant efforts in growing the brand recognition of our Kingold brand and strengthening our market position.

•   We will increase the automation in our production line.  Our production lines use modern technologies and production techniques that we strive to continuously improve through automation.

•   We intend to enlarge our PRC customer base.  We intend to strive to expand our PRC customer base by strengthening current relationships with distributors, retailers and other wholesalers in our existing markets.

Corporate History

We were initially incorporated in 1995 in Delaware as Vanguard Enterprises, Inc. In 1999, we changed our corporate name to Activeworlds.com, Inc. (and subsequently to Activeworlds Corp.) and through a wholly-owned subsidiary we provided internet software products and services that enabled the delivery of three-dimensional content over the internet. We operated that business until September 11, 2002 when we sold that business to our former management and we became a shell company with no significant business operations. As a result of the consummation of the reverse acquisition transaction as described below, on December 23, 2009, we ceased to be a shell company and became an indirect holding company for Vogue-Show through Dragon Lead.

Acquisition of Kingold and Name Change

In December 2009, we acquired 100% of Dragon Lead from the shareholders of Dragon Lead in a share exchange transaction pursuant to which the shareholders of Dragon Lead exchanged 100% ownership in Dragon Lead, for 33,104,234 shares of our common stock. As a result, Dragon Lead became our wholly- owned subsidiary. Dragon Lead owns 100% of Vogue-Show and Vogue-Show controls Wuhan Kingold through a series of variable interest entity agreements, described below. We currently operate through Dragon Lead, Vogue-Show and Wuhan Kingold.

In February 2010, we changed our name to Kingold Jewelry, Inc. to better reflect our business.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Organizational History of Dragon Lead and its Subsidiaries

Dragon Lead Group Limited, or Dragon Lead, a British Virgin Islands (BVI) corporation was incorporated in the BVI on July 1, 2008 as an investment holding company. Dragon Lead owns 100% of the ownership interest in Vogue-Show.

Wuhan Vogue-Show Jewelry Co., Ltd., or Vogue-Show, a PRC wholly foreign owned enterprise, or WFOE, was incorporated in the PRC on February 16, 2009. Wuhan Kingold was incorporated in the PRC as a limited liability company on August 2, 2002 by Zhihong Jia, as the major shareholder, and Xue Su Yue who sold her shares in Wuhan Kingold to Zhihong Jia and Chen Wei in 2003. On October 26, 2007, Wuhan Kingold was restructured as a joint stock company limited by shares. Its business activities are principally the design and manufacture of 24 Karat gold jewelry and Chinese ornaments in the PRC. Wuhan Kingold’s business license will expire on March 4, 2021 and is renewable upon expiration. The registered and paid-in capital of Wuhan Kingold is RMB 120 million.

The Vogue-Show/Wuhan Kingold VIE Relationship

On June 30, 2009, Vogue-Show entered into a series of agreements with Wuhan Kingold and shareholders holding 95.83% of the outstanding equity of Wuhan Kingold under which Wuhan Kingold agreed to pay 95.83% of its after-tax profits to Vogue-Show and shareholders owning 95.83% of Wuhan Kingold’s shares have pledged their shares and delegated their voting power in Wuhan Kingold to Vogue-Show. Such share pledge is registered with the PRC Administration for Industry and Commerce.

The VIE arrangement was created so that upon the closing of the reverse acquisition, as described below, we would be able to acquire control over Wuhan Kingold, as explained below. These contractual arrangements enable us to:

•   exercise effective control over our variable interest entity, Wuhan Kingold;

•   receive substantially all of the economic benefits from our variable interest entity, Wuhan Kingold; and

•   have an exclusive ten-year option to purchase 95.83% of the equity interest in our variable interest entity Wuhan Kingold, contingent upon such a purchase being permitted by PRC law, at a price based on an appraisal provided by an asset evaluation institution which will be jointly appointed by Vogue-Show and the Wuhan Kingold shareholders.

Concurrently, Wuhan Kingold agreed to grant Vogue-Show a ten-year option to purchase all of Wuhan Kingold’s assets at a price based on an appraisal to be provided at the time of exercise of the option by an asset evaluation institution jointly appointed by Vogue-Show and Wuhan Kingold. In addition, shareholders holding 95.83% of the equity interest in Wuhan Kingold have pledged their shares in Wuhan Kingold in order to guarantee the performance of Wuhan Kingold and any of its respective shareholders under the VIE agreements, ultimately providing Vogue-Show, as pledgee, with certain rights, including the right to foreclose on the pledged equity interests. Through such arrangement, Wuhan Kingold has become Vogue-Show’s contractually controlled affiliate.

We have consolidated the financial results of Wuhan Kingold in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Reverse Acquisition and Private Placement

On September 29, 2009, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reverse Acquisition with Vogue-Show, a PRC WFOE, Dragon Lead, and the stockholders of Dragon Lead, or the Dragon Lead Stockholders. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, we agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Dragon Lead in exchange for the issuance of 33,104,234 newly issued shares of our common stock. The acquisition agreement closed on or about December 23, 2009. Following the closing, Dragon Lead became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

The purpose of the reverse acquisition was to gain control over Wuhan Kingold. We did not acquire Wuhan Kingold directly through the issuance of stock to Wuhan Kingold’s stockholders because, under PRC law, it is uncertain whether a share exchange would, in this instance, be legal. Instead, we chose to acquire control of Wuhan Kingold through the acquisition of Vogue Show and the VIE arrangements

TABLE OF CONTENTS

previously described in this prospectus. Certain rules and regulations in the PRC restrict the ability of non-PRC companies controlled by PRC residents to acquire PRC companies. There is significant uncertainty as to whether these rules and regulations require either transactions of the type contemplated by our VIE arrangements, or of the type contemplated by the Call Option described below, to be approved by the PRC Ministry of Commerce, the China Securities and Regulatory Commission, or other governmental agencies. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties arising from these PRC rules and regulations, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC — Recent PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities may create regulatory uncertainties that could restrict or limit our ability to operate. Our failure to obtain the prior approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC for the listing and trading of our common stock could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, reputation and trading price of our common stock,” beginning on page 21.

On December 23, 2009, immediately prior to the closing of the reverse acquisition, we completed a private placement with 14 investors. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement entered into with the investors, we sold an aggregate of 5,120,483 newly issued shares of our common stock at $0.996 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.1 million. The investors in the private placement also received five-year warrants to purchase up to 1,024,096 shares of common stock at the price of $0.996 per share. After commissions and expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $4.55 million in the private placement. In addition, five-year warrants to purchase up to 1,536,145 shares of common stock at the price of $0.996 per share were issued to various consultants who assisted in the transaction.

All share and per share information concerning our common stock in the above discussion reflects a 1-for-2 reverse stock split which became effective on August 10, 2010.

As a result of the above transactions, we ceased being a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Act.

Also, on December 23, 2009, Fok Wing Lam Winnie (whose Mandarin name is Huo Yong Lin), the sole shareholder of Famous Grow and the majority shareholder of Dragon Lead prior to the closing of the reverse acquisition, entered into a call option agreement, as amended and restated, or call option, with Zhihong Jia and Bin Zhao to comply with PRC regulations that restrict PRC residents from owning offshore entities like us in direct exchange for their shares in the PRC operating company and as an inducement to encourage them to provide services to Wuhan Kingold and our company. The call option does not include a vesting schedule and continued employment is not a condition to the call option. Under the call option agreement, as amended and restated, Fok Wing Lam Winnie granted to Zhihong Jia and Bin Zhao certain call options to acquire up to 100% of the shares of Famous Grow at any time at an exercise price of $1.00, which is par value per share, or $0.001 per Famous Grow share, subject to any exercise notice for a period of five years which was determined in an arm's length negotiation with the parties. While our PRC counsel believes that this arrangement does not violate any provisions of applicable PRC laws, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of the current or future PRC laws and regulations, including regulations governing the validity and legality of such call options. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that PRC government authorities will not ultimately take a view contrary to the opinion of our PRC legal counsel. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties arising from these PRC rules and regulations, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC — Recent PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities may create regulatory uncertainties that could restrict or limit our ability to operate. Our failure to obtain the prior approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC for the listing and trading of our common stock could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, reputation and trading price of our common stock,” beginning on page 21.

Additionally, on December 23, 2009, immediately following the closing, Famous Grow Holdings Limited, a BVI limited liability company, or Famous Grow, Dragon Lead’s majority shareholder, entered into a make good escrow agreement with the investors, pursuant to which, Famous Grow deposited a total of 1,895,609 of shares of common stock into an escrow account as “make good shares.” In the event that our after-PRC-tax net income for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, is less than 70% of RMB 65.0 million, RMB 100.0 million and RMB 150.0 million, respectively, as set forth in the make good escrow agreement, part or all of the escrowed make good shares will be transferred to private placement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

investors on pro rata basis. Pursuant to the Make Good Escrow Agreement, 631,870 shares out of 1,895,609 shares (or  1/3 of the shares per year) are no longer subject to the escrow and none of such shares have been acquired from Famous Grow. Our after-PRC-tax net income for the year ended December 31, 2009 exceeded 70% of RMB 65.0 million and therefore, no “make good shares” were transferred as of December 31, 2009.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as the other information contained in this prospectus before deciding to purchase any shares of our common stock. These risks could harm our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. In addition, the trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks and you might lose all or part of your investment. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we conduct all of our operations in China and are governed by a legal and regulatory environment that in some respects differs significantly from the environment that may prevail in the U.S. and other countries. All share and per share information concerning our common stock for dates prior to August 10, 2010 has been adjusted to reflect, on a pro forma basis, our 1-for-2 reverse stock split of our common stock.

Risks Related to our Business

Jewelry purchases are discretionary, may be particularly affected by adverse trends in the general economy, and an economic decline will make it more difficult to generate revenue.

The success of our operations depends, to a significant extent, upon a number of factors relating to discretionary consumer spending in China. These factors include economic conditions and perceptions of such conditions by consumers, employment rates, the level of consumers’ disposable income, business conditions, interest rates, consumer debt levels, availability of credit and levels of taxation in regional and local markets in China where we manufacture and sell our products. There can be no assurance that consumer spending on jewelry will not be adversely affected by changes in general economic conditions in China and globally.

While the Chinese economy has experienced rapid growth in recent years, such growth has been uneven among various sectors of the economy and in different geographical areas of the country. Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the money supply and rising inflation. During the past two decades, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as approximately 20%. If prices for our products rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in the costs of supplies such as raw materials, it may have an adverse effect on our profitability. During the recent global economic slowdown, the People’s Bank of China or PBOC set the interest rate at a rather low level and the central government implemented a several trillion of RMB stimulus plan which has brought increased liquidity into the market. However, if the global economy continues to recover it is very likely that PBOC will increase the interest rate. Significant increases in interest rates by the central bank could slow economic activity in China which may, in turn, materially increase our costs and reduce demand for our products.

Most of our sales are of products that include gold, precious metals and other commodities, and fluctuations in the availability and pricing of commodities would adversely impact our ability to obtain and make products at favorable prices.

The jewelry industry generally is affected by fluctuations in the price and supply of diamonds, gold, and, to a lesser extent, other precious and semi-precious metals and stones. In the past, we have not hedged our requirement for gold or other raw materials through the use of options, forward contracts or outright commodity purchasing. A significant increase in the price of gold could increase our production costs beyond the amount that we are able to pass on to our customers, which would adversely affect our sales and profitability. A significant disruption in our supply of gold, or other commodities could decrease our production and shipping levels, materially increase our operating costs and materially and adversely affect our profit margins. Shortages of gold, or other commodities, or interruptions in transportation systems, labor strikes, work stoppages, war, acts of terrorism, or other interruptions to or difficulties in the employment of labor or transportation in the markets in which we purchase our raw materials, may adversely affect our ability to maintain production of our products and sustain profitability. Although we generally attempt to pass increased commodity prices to our customers, there may be circumstances in which we are not able to do so. In addition, if we were to experience a significant or prolonged shortage of gold, we would be unable to meet our production schedules and to ship products to our customers in a timely manner, which would adversely affect our sales, margins and customer relations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Furthermore, the value of our inventory may be affected by commodity prices. We record the value of our inventory at the lower of our cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or market value. As a result, decreases in the market value of precious metals such as gold would result in a lower stated value of our inventory, which may require us to take a charge for the decrease in the value of our inventory.

Competition in the jewelry industry could cause us to lose market share, thereby materially and adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The jewelry industry in China is highly fragmented and very competitive. We believe that the market may become even more competitive as the industry grows and/or consolidates. We compete with local jewelry manufacturers and large foreign multinational companies that offer products that are similar to ours. Some of these competitors have larger local or regional customer bases, more locations, more brand equity, and substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than we have. As a result of this increasing competition, we could lose market share, thereby materially and adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may need to raise additional funds in the future. These funds may not be available on acceptable terms or at all, and, without additional funds, we may not be able to maintain or expand our business.

Our operations require substantial funds to finance our operating expenses, to maintain and expand our manufacturing, marketing and sales capabilities and to cover public company costs. Without these funds, we may not be able to meet our goals.

We may seek additional funding through public or private financing or through collaborative arrangements with strategic partners. However, you should also be aware that in the future:

If we cannot raise additional funds when needed, or on acceptable terms, we may not be able to effectively execute our growth strategy (including entering the retail market), take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. In addition, we may be required to scale back or discontinue expansion plans, or obtain funds through strategic alliances that may require us to relinquish certain rights.

Our ability to maintain or increase our revenue could be harmed if we are unable to strengthen and maintain our brand image.

We believe that primary factors in facilitating customer buying decisions in China’s jewelry sector include price, confidence in the merchandise sold, and the level and quality of customer service. The ability to differentiate our products from competitors’ by our brand-based marketing strategies is a key factor in attracting consumers, and if our strategies and efforts to promote our brand, such as television and magazine advertising and beauty contest sponsorships fail to garner brand recognition, our ability to generate revenue may suffer. If we are unable to differentiate our products, our ability to sell our products wholesale and our planned sale of products retail will be adversely affected. If we fail to identify or react appropriately or timely to customer buying decisions, we could experience a reduction in consumer recognition of our products, a diminished brand image, higher markdowns, and costs to recast overstocked jewelry. These factors could result in lowering selling prices and sales volumes for our products, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations

There is only one source in China for us to obtain the precious metals used in our jewelry products; accordingly, any interruptions of our arrangement with this source would disrupt our ability to fulfill customer orders and substantially affect our ability to continue our business operations.

Under the PRC law, supply of precious metals such as platinum, gold, and silver are highly regulated by PRC government agencies. The Shanghai Gold Exchange is the only supplier in China for gold used for our jewelry products. We are required to obtain and maintain several membership and approval certificates from

TABLE OF CONTENTS

government agencies in order to do business involving precious metals. The loss of our relationship or failure to renew our membership with the Shanghai Gold Exchange, or its inability to furnish precious metals to us as anticipated in terms of cost, quality, and timeliness, would adversely affect our ability to fulfill customer orders in accordance with our required delivery, quality, and performance requirements. If this situation were to occur, we would not have any alternative suppliers in China to obtain our raw materials from, which would result in a decline in revenue and revenue potential, and ultimately risk the overall continuation of our business operations.

If we are not able to adapt to changing jewelry trends in China, our inventory may be overstocked and we may be forced to reduce the price of our overstocked jewelry or incur the cost to recast it into new jewelry.

Our jewelry sales depend on consumer fashions, preferences for jewelry and the demand for particular products in China. Jewelry design trends in China can change rapidly. The ability to accurately predict future changes in taste, respond to changes in consumer preferences, carry the inventory demanded by customers, deliver the appropriate quality, price products correctly and implement effective purchasing procedures, all have an important influence on determining sales performance and maximizing gross margin. If we fail to anticipate, identify or react appropriately to changes in styles and trends, we could experience excess inventories, higher than normal markdowns or an inability to sell our products. If such a situation were to exist, we would need to incur additional costs to recast our products to fit the demand, and the labor and manufacturing costs previously invested in the recast products would be lost.

Our failure to manage growth effectively could have an adverse effect on our employee efficiency, product quality, working capital levels, and results of operations.

We intend to develop the retail distribution of our products, which we believe will result in rapid growth, but will also place significant demands on our managerial, operational and financial resources. Any significant growth in the market for our current wholesale business and our planned retail distribution would require us to expand our managerial, operational, financial, and other resources. During any period of growth, we may face problems related to our operational and financial systems and controls, including quality control and delivery and service capabilities. We also will need to continue to expand, train and manage our employee base. If we are unable to successfully build these skills and expand our number of skilled management and staff, we may be unsuccessful in achieving our intended level of growth.

Aside from increased difficulties in the management of human resources, we may also encounter working capital issues, as we will need increased liquidity to finance the purchases of raw materials and supplies, development of new products and the hiring of additional employees. Our failure to manage growth effectively may lead to operational and financial inefficiencies that will have a negative effect on our profitability. We cannot assure you that we will be able to timely and effectively meet that demand and maintain the quality standards required by our existing and potential customers.

We rely on our distribution network for virtually all of our revenues. Failure to maintain good distributor relations could materially disrupt our distribution business and harm our net sales.

Our business depends directly on the performance of our more than 200 distributors, which we also refer to as our customers. Our largest distributor accounted for approximately 7.83% and 9.8% of our gross revenues in 2009 and 2008, respectively. As we do not have long-term contracts with our distributors, it is critical that we maintain good relationships with them. However, maintaining good relationships with existing distributors and replacing any distributor is difficult and time consuming. Our failure to maintain good relationships with our distributors could materially disrupt our distribution business and harm our net sales.

Substantial defaults by our customers on accounts receivable could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and results of operations.

As with most businesses in our industry, a substantial portion of our working capital consists of accounts receivable from customers. If customers responsible for a significant amount of accounts receivable were to become insolvent or otherwise unable to pay for our products, or to make payments in a timely manner, our liquidity and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. An economic or industry downturn

TABLE OF CONTENTS

could materially adversely affect the servicing of these accounts receivable, which could result in longer payment cycles, increased collections costs and defaults in excess of management’s expectations. In addition, as we increase our presence in the retail market, we expect the aging of our accounts receivable generated from sales through retail counters to increase as department stores typically defer payments to us of cash receipts collected by them on our behalf. A significant deterioration in our ability to collect on accounts receivable could affect our cash flow and working capital position and could also impact the cost or availability of financing available to us.

We must maintain a relatively large inventory of our raw materials and jewelry products to support customer delivery requirements, and if this inventory is lost due to theft, our results of operations would be negatively impacted.

We purchase large volumes of precious metals and store significant quantities of raw materials and jewelry products at our warehouse and show room in Wuhan, China. Although we have an inventory security system in place, we may be subject to future significant inventory losses due to third-party or employee theft from our warehouses or other forms of theft. The implementation of enhanced security measures beyond those that we already utilize, which include onsite police station with direct deployment of officers and instant access to Wuhan city police department, security cameras, and alarm systems in our warehouse, would increase our operating costs. Also, any such losses of inventory could exceed the limits of, or be subject to an exclusion from, coverage under our insurance policies. Claims filed by us under our insurance policies could lead to increases in the insurance premiums payable by us or the termination of coverage under the relevant policy.

Our business could be materially adversely affected if we cannot protect our intellectual property rights.

We have developed trademarks, patents, know-how, trade-names and other intellectual property rights that are of significant value to us. In particular, we have applied for patents on a limited number of designs of our jewelry products and trademarks as well. However, the legal regime governing intellectual property in the PRC is still evolving and the level of protection of intellectual property rights in the PRC may differ from those in other jurisdictions. Thus, it may be difficult to enforce our rights relating to these designs as well as our trademarks. Any unauthorized use of, or other infringement upon our designs or trademarks, could result in potential sales being diverted to such unauthorized sellers, and dilute the value of our brand.

We are dependent on certain key personnel, and the loss of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

Our success, to a great extent, has been attributable to the management, sales and marketing, and operational and technical expertise of certain key personnel. Moreover, our daily operation and performance rely heavily upon our senior management. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain these officers or that such personnel may not receive and/or accept competing offers of employment. The loss of a significant number of these employees could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We do not maintain key-man life insurance for any of our senior management.

We have significant outstanding borrowings, and we may not be able to obtain extensions when they become mature.

Our notes payable to banks for short-term borrowings as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were approximately $8.8 million and $14.1 million, respectively. These loans are either collateralized by our buildings, plant and machinery or guaranteed by a third party guarantor at the cost of certain guaranty fees. Interest expense paid for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $703,500 and $1,393,130, respectively, and fees paid to a third party guarantor for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $180,827 and $342,626, respectively. Our notes payable for short-term borrowing as of September 30, 2010 was approximately $8.9 million and bore a weighted average annual interest rate of 5.02%. Generally, these short-term loans mature in one year or less and contain no renewal terms. However, in China, it is custom practice for banks and borrowers to negotiate roll-over or renewals of short-term borrowing on an on-going basis shortly before maturity.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Although we have renewed our borrowings in the past, we cannot assure you that we will be able to renew these loans in the future as they become mature. If we are unable to obtain renewals of these loans or sufficient alternative funding on reasonable terms from banks or other parties, we will have to repay these borrowings with the cash on our balance sheet or cash generated by our future operations, if any. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to repay these borrowings.

Our quarterly results may fluctuate because of many factors and, as a result, investors should not rely on quarterly operating results as indicative of future results.

Fluctuations in operating results or the failure of operating results to meet the expectations of public market analysts and investors may negatively impact the value of our securities. Quarterly operating results may fluctuate in the future due to a variety of factors that could affect revenues or expenses in any particular quarter. Fluctuations in quarterly operating results could cause the value of our securities to decline. Investors should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of results of operations as an indication of future performance. As a result of the factors listed below, it is possible that in future periods the results of operations may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. This could cause the market price of our securities to decline. Factors that may affect our quarterly results include:

The loss or significant reduction in business of any of our key customers may affect our revenues and earnings.

We are dependent on a limited number of customers for a large portion of our business. During the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately 31.5% of our net sales were generated from our five largest customers as compared to 21.3% for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our largest customer accounted for approximately 7.8% and 9.8% of our net sales during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. All purchases of our products by customers are made through purchase orders and we do not have long-term contracts with any of our customers. The loss of those customers, or any of our other customers to which we sell a significant amount of our products, or any significant portion of orders from those customers, or any material adverse change in the financial conditions of such customers could negatively affect our revenues and decrease our earnings, if we cannot find new customers in a timely manner.

We may not maintain sufficient insurance coverage for the risks associated with our business operations. As a result, we may incur uninsured losses.

Except for property, accident and automobile insurance, we do not have other insurance of such as business liability or disruption insurance coverage for our operations in the PRC. As a result, we may incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of our business. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain additional insurance coverage in the future, and even if we are able to obtain additional coverage, we may not carry sufficient insurance coverage to satisfy potential claims. Should uninsured losses occur, any purchasers of our common stock could lose their investment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The current global financial crisis and economic downturn may have an adverse effect on our businesses, results of operation and financial condition.

The current global financial crisis and economic downturn have adversely affected economies and businesses around the world, including in China. Due to the global economical downturn, a decrease in consumer demand and a slowdown in domestic property investments, the economic situation in China has been challenging since the second half of 2008. This change in the macroeconomic conditions has had and may continue to have an adverse impact on our business and operations. If the current economic downturn continues, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Potential environmental liability could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

As a manufacturer, we are subject to various Chinese environmental laws and regulations on air emission, waste water discharge, solid wastes and noise. Although we believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with current environmental laws and regulations, we may not be able to comply with these regulations at all times as the Chinese environmental legal regime is evolving and becoming more stringent. Therefore, if the Chinese government imposes more stringent regulations in the future, we may have to incur additional and potentially substantial costs and expenses in order to comply with new regulations, which may negatively affect our results of operations. Further, no assurance can be given that all potential environmental liabilities have been identified or properly quantified or that any prior owner, operator, or tenant has not created an environmental condition unknown to us. If we fail to comply with any of the present or future environmental regulations in any material aspects, we may suffer from negative publicity and be subject to claims for damages that may require us to pay substantial fines or force us to suspend or cease operations.

Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC

All of our assets are located in China and all of our revenues are derived from our operations in China, and changes in the political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon what business we may be able to conduct in the PRC and accordingly on the results of our operations and financial condition.

Our business operations may be adversely affected by the current and future political environment in the PRC. The Chinese government exerts substantial influence and control over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities. Our ability to operate in China may be adversely affected by changes in Chinese laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, raw materials, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. Under the current government leadership, the government of the PRC has been pursuing economic reform policies that encourage private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. There is no assurance, however, that the government of the PRC will continue to pursue these policies, or that it will not significantly alter these policies from time to time without notice.

Our operations are subject to PRC laws and regulations that are sometimes vague and uncertain. Any changes in such PRC laws and regulations, or the interpretations thereof, may have a material and adverse effect on our business.

The PRC’s legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common law system prevalent in the United States, decided legal cases have little value as precedent in China. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to the laws and regulations governing our business, or the enforcement and performance of our arrangements with customers in the event of the imposition of statutory liens, death, bankruptcy or criminal proceedings. The Chinese government has been developing a comprehensive system of commercial laws, and considerable progress has been made in introducing laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade. However, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published cases and judicial interpretation and their lack of force as precedents, interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve significant uncertainties. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

One of our principal operating subsidiaries, Vogue-Show, is considered a foreign invested enterprise under PRC laws, and as a result is required to comply with PRC laws and regulations, including laws and regulations specifically governing the activities and conduct of foreign invested enterprises. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on our businesses. If the relevant authorities find us in violation of PRC laws or regulations, they would have broad discretion in dealing with such a violation, including, without limitation:

The scope of our business license in China is limited, and we may not expand or continue our business without government approval and renewal, respectively.

Our operating affiliate, Wuhan Kingold, can only conduct business within its business scope, as detailed on its business license. Our license permits us to design, manufacture, sell and market jewelry products to department stores throughout the PRC and to engage in the retail distribution of our products. Any amendment to the scope of our business requires further application and government approval. In order for us to expand our business beyond the scope of our license, we will be required to enter into a negotiation with the authorities for the approval to expand the scope of our business. We cannot assure you that Wuhan Kingold will be able to obtain the necessary government approval for any change or expansion of our business scope.

Because our revenues are generated in RMB and our results are reported in U.S. dollars, devaluation of the RMB could negatively impact our results of operations.

The value of RMB is subject to changes in China’s governmental policies and to international economic and political developments. In January 1994, the PRC government implemented a unitary managed floating rate system. Under this system, the PBOC began publishing a daily base exchange rate with reference primarily to the supply and demand of RMB against the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies in the market during the previous day. Authorized banks and financial institutions are allowed to quote buy and sell rates for RMB within a specified band around the central bank’s daily exchange rate. On July 21, 2005, PBOC announced an adjustment of the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to RMB from 1:8.27 to 1:8.11 and modified the system by which the exchange rates are determined. While the international reaction to the RMB revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in further fluctuations of the exchange rate of RMB against the U.S. dollar, including possible devaluations. As all of our net revenues are recorded in RMB, any future devaluation of RMB against the U.S. dollar could negatively impact our results of operations.

Our PRC stockholders are required to register with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange and their failure to do so could cause us to lose our ability to remit profits out of the PRC as dividends.

The State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, has promulgated several regulations, including Circular No. 75, or Circular 75, which became effective in November 2005, requiring PRC residents, including both PRC legal person residents and PRC natural person residents, to register with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or controlling any company outside of the PRC for the purpose of equity financing with assets or equities of PRC companies, referred to in Circular 75 as an “offshore special purpose company.” PRC residents that have established or controlled an offshore special purpose company, which has finished a round-trip investment before the implementation of Circular 75, are required to register their ownership interests or control in such “special purpose vehicles” with the local offices of SAFE. Under Circular 75, the term “PRC legal person residents” as used in Circular 75 refers to those entities with legal person status or other economic organizations established within the territory of the PRC. The term “PRC natural person residents” as used in Circular 75 includes all PRC citizens and all other natural persons, including foreigners, who habitually reside in the PRC for economic benefit. The term “special purpose

TABLE OF CONTENTS

vehicle” refers to an offshore entity established or controlled, directly or indirectly, by PRC residents or PRC entities for the purpose of seeking offshore equity financing using assets or interests owned by such PRC residents or PRC entities in onshore companies, and the term “round-trip investment” refers to the direct investment in the PRC by PRC residents through “special purpose vehicles,” including without limitation, establishing foreign invested enterprises and using such foreign invested enterprises to purchase or control (by way of contractual arrangements) onshore assets.

In addition, any PRC resident that is the shareholder of an offshore special purpose company is required to amend his/her/its SAFE registration with the local SAFE branch upon (i) injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise to the offshore entity, or (ii) subsequent overseas equity financing by such offshore entity. PRC residents are also required to complete amended registrations or filing with the local SAFE branch within 30 days of any material change in the shareholding or capital of the offshore entity not involving a round-trip investment, such as changes in share capital, share transfers and long-term equity or debt investments, of already organized, or gained control of, offshore entities that have made onshore investments in the PRC before Circular 75 was promulgated must register with their shareholdings in the offshore entities with the local SAFE branch on or before March 31, 2006.

Under Circular 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from their shareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under the Circular 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments or shareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or the return of funds upon a capital reduction.

To further clarify the implementation of Circular 75, SAFE issued Circular No. 106, or Circular 106, on May 9, 2007, which is a guidance that SAFE issued to its local branches with respect to the operational process for SAFE registration that standardizing mores specific and stringent supervision on the registration relating to the Circular 75. Under Circular 106, PRC subsidiaries of an offshore special purpose company are required to coordinate and supervise the filing of SAFE registrations by the offshore holding company’s shareholders who are PRC residents in a timely manner. If these shareholders and/or beneficial owners fail to comply, the PRC subsidiaries are required to report such failure to the local SAFE authorities and, if the PRC subsidiaries do report the failure, the PRC subsidiaries may be exempted from any potential liability to them related to the stockholders’ failure to comply. The failure of these shareholders and/or beneficial owners to timely amend their SAFE registrations pursuant to the Circular 75 and Circular 106 or the failure of future shareholders and/or beneficial owners of our company who are PRC residents to comply with the registration procedures set forth in the Circular 75 and Circular 106 may subject such shareholders, beneficial owners and/or our PRC subsidiaries to fines and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries ability to distribute dividends to our company or otherwise adversely affect our business.

These regulations apply to our stockholders who are PRC residents. As of the date at this prospectus, our chairman and chief executive officer, Zhihong Jia, and our general manager, Bin Zhao, have obtained their registrations under Circular 75, and the other PRC residents are in the process of obtaining such registrations. However, there is no assurance that such persons can successfully complete such registrations, and there is no assurance that all of the PRC resident stockholders and beneficiary stockholders have complied with and will comply with the SAFE registration requirements currently or in the future. In the event that these or other of our PRC-resident stockholders do not follow the procedures required by SAFE, we could (i) be exposed to fines and legal sanctions, (ii) lose the ability to contribute additional capital into our PRC subsidiaries or distribute dividends to our company, (iii) face liability for evasion of foreign-exchange regulations, and/or (iv) lose the ability to consolidate the financial statements of our PRC subsidiaries under applicable accounting principles.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Recent PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities may create regulatory uncertainties that could restrict or limit our ability to operate. Our failure to obtain the prior approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC for the listing and trading of our common stock could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, reputation and trading price of our common stock.

On August 8, 2006, the PRC Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM, joined by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the State Administration of Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, and SAFE, released a substantially amended version of the Provisions for Foreign Investors to Merge with or Acquire Domestic Enterprises, or the Revised M&A Regulations, which took effect September 8, 2006. These new rules significantly revised China’s regulatory framework governing onshore-to-offshore restructurings and foreign acquisitions of domestic enterprises. These new rules signify greater PRC government attention to cross-border merger, acquisition and other investment activities, by confirming MOFCOM as a key regulator for issues related to mergers and acquisitions in China and requiring MOFCOM approval of a broad range of merger, acquisition and investment transactions. Further, the new rules establish reporting requirements for acquisition of control by foreigners of companies in key industries, and reinforce the ability of the Chinese government to monitor and prohibit foreign control transactions in key industries.

In addition, the Revised M&A Regulations include new provisions that purport to require that an offshore special purpose vehicle, or SPV, formed for listing purposes and controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies or individuals must obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such SPV’s securities on any non-PRC stock exchange. On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official website procedures specifying documents and materials required to be submitted to it by SPVs seeking CSRC approval of their overseas listings. However, the application of this PRC regulation remains unclear with no consensus currently existing among the leading PRC law firms regarding the scope and applicability of the CSRC approval requirement.

Our wholly-owned BVI subsidiary, Dragon Lead, was formerly owned by eight BVI companies whose shareholders are non-PRC individuals. We understand that some of these non-PRC individuals are nominee shareholders holding shares on behalf of and for the interest of some PRC individuals and PRC companies who are also Wuhan Kingold minority shareholders. These minority Wuhan Kingold shareholders do not have experience in conducting or managing businesses outside the PRC, and therefore believe that to engage nominee shareholders to hold shares on their behalf are in their best commercial interest, and could provide them with guidance when they evaluate whether to purchase, sell or dispose of our shares after the closing.

Also, on December 23, 2009, immediately before the reverse acquisition of Vogue Show, Fok Wing Lam Winnie (whose Mandarin name is Huo Yong Lin), the sole shareholder of Famous Grow and the majority shareholder of Dragon Lead prior to the closing of the reverse acquisition, entered into the call option with Zhihong Jia and Bin Zhao to comply with PRC regulations that restrict PRC residents from owning offshore entities like us in direct exchange for their shares in the PRC operating company and as an inducement to encourage them to provide services to Wuhan Kingold and our company. The call option does not include a vesting schedule and continued employment is not a condition to the call option. Under the call option, as amended and restated, Fok Wing Lam Winnie granted to Zhihong Jia and Bin Zhao certain call options to acquire up to 100% of the shares of Famous Grow at an exercise price of $1.00, which is par value per share, or $0.001 per Famous Grow share, subject to any exercise notice, or Call Option which was determined in an arm's length negotiation with the parties.

The PRC regulatory authorities may take the view that entry into the VIE Agreements by Vogue-Show and Wuhan Kingold and entry into the call option agreement by Zhihong Jia, Bin Zhao and Fok Wing Lam Winnie may collectively constitute an onshore to offshore restructuring and a related party acquisition under the M&A Regulations, because upon the consummation of these transactions and after the Call Option is fully exercised, PRC individuals would become majority owners and effective controlling parties of a foreign entity that acquired ownership of Wuhan Kingold. The PRC regulatory authorities may also take the view that the relevant parties should fully disclose to the Wuhan SAFE or MOFCOM the overall restructuring arrangements, the existence of the reverse acquisition and its connection with the VIE Agreement. Our PRC

TABLE OF CONTENTS

counsel has opined among other things that: (i) each of our VIE agreements with Wuhan Kingold are valid and enforceable under relevant PRC laws, (ii) all government authorizations for the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of our VIE agreements have been obtained as required by PRC laws, (iii) the ownership structure of Vogue Show and Wuhan Kingold created by our VIE agreements and the call options in favor of Zhihong Jia and Bin Zhao do not violate any provisions of applicable PRC laws, (iv) no PRC governmental approvals were required under the Revised M&A Regulations in connection with our acquisition of our current ownership interests in any of our PRC subsidiaries or in connection with the VIE agreements, and (v) CSRC approval is not required in the context of this offering. Our PRC counsel has reviewed and approved of these statements.

We, however, cannot assure you that the PRC regulatory authorities, MOFCOM and CSRC will take the same view as our PRC counsel. If the PRC regulatory authorities take the view that the reverse acquisition and VIE arrangement constitute a related party acquisition under the revised M&A Regulations, we cannot assure you we will be able to obtain any approval required from the national offices of MOFCOM or otherwise.

If the PRC regulatory authorities take the view that the call options or the VIE arrangement constitutes a related party acquisition without the approval of the national offices of MOFCOM, they could invalidate the call options and VIE arrangement. We may also face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the MOFCOM or other PRC regulatory agencies. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in the PRC, limit our operating privileges in the PRC, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into the PRC, or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our shares.

If we make equity compensation grants to persons who are PRC citizens, they may be required to register with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the PRC, or SAFE. We may also face regulatory uncertainties that could restrict our ability to adopt additional equity compensation plans for our directors and employees and other parties under PRC law.

On April 6, 2007, SAFE issued the “Operating Procedures for Administration of Domestic Individuals Participating in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan or Stock Option Plan of An Overseas Listed Company,” also know as “Circular 78.” It is not clear whether Circular 78 covers all forms of equity compensation plans or only those which provide for the granting of stock options. For any plans which are so covered and are adopted by a non-PRC listed company, such as our company, after April 6, 2007, Circular 78 requires all participants who are PRC citizens to register with and obtain approvals from SAFE prior to their participation in the plan. In addition, Circular 78 also requires PRC citizens to register with SAFE and make the necessary applications and filings if they participated in an overseas listed company’s covered equity compensation plan prior to April 6, 2007. We believe that the registration and approval requirements contemplated in Circular 78 will be burdensome and time consuming.

Failure to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

As we are a Delaware corporation, we are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Some foreign companies, including some that may compete with our company, may not be subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices may occur from time-to-time in the PRC. We can make no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Under the New Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China. Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC stockholders.

Under the New Enterprise Income Tax Law, or EIT Law, an enterprise established outside the PRC with its “de facto management body” within the PRC is considered a resident enterprise and will be subject to the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on its worldwide income. The “de facto management body” is defined as the organizational body that effectively exercises overall management and control over production and business operations, personnel, finance and accounting, and properties of the enterprise. It remains unclear how the PRC tax authorities will interpret such a broad definition. If the PRC tax authorities determine that we should be classified as a resident enterprise, then our worldwide income will be subject to income tax at a uniform rate of 25%, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. However, it remains unclear how the PRC tax authorities will interpret the PRC tax resident treatment of an offshore company, like us, having indirect ownership interests in PRC enterprises through intermediary holding vehicles.

Moreover, under the New EIT Law, foreign shareholders of an entity that is classified as a PRC resident enterprise may be subject to a 10% withholding tax upon dividends payable by such entity, unless the jurisdiction of incorporation of the foreign shareholder of such entity has a tax treaty with the PRC that provides for a reduced rate of withholding tax, and gains realized on the sale or other disposition of shares, if such income is sourced from within the PRC. It remains unclear whether the dividends payable by our PRC subsidiary or the gains our foreign shareholders may realize will be regarded as income from sources within the PRC if we are classified as a PRC resident enterprise. Any such tax will reduce the returns on your investment in our Shares.

Because our business is located in the PRC, we may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls, which we are required to do in order to comply with U.S. securities laws.

PRC companies have historically not adopted a Western style of management and financial reporting concepts and practices, which includes strong corporate governance, internal controls and, computer, financial and other control systems. Most of our middle and top management staff are not educated and trained in the Western system, and we may have difficulty hiring new employees in the PRC with such training. In addition, we may need to rely on a new and developing communication infrastructure to efficiently transfer our information from retail outlets to our headquarters. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards. Therefore, we may, in turn, experience difficulties in implementing and maintaining adequate internal controls as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This may result in significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, which could impact the reliability of our financial statements and prevent us from complying with Commission rules and regulations and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China based upon U.S. laws, including the federal securities laws, or other foreign laws against us or our management.

All of our current operations, including the manufacturing and distribution of jewelry, are conducted in China. Moreover, most of our directors and officers are nationals and residents of China. All or substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States and in the PRC. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon these persons. In addition, uncertainty exists as to whether the courts of China would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or such officers and/or directors predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof, or be competent to hear original actions brought in China against us or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

Governmental control of currency conversions could prevent us from paying dividends.

All of our revenue is earned in RMB and current and future restrictions on currency conversions may limit our ability to use revenue generated in RMB to make dividend or other payments in United States dollars. Although the PRC government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including the restrictions that

TABLE OF CONTENTS

foreign-invested enterprises like us may buy, sell or remit foreign currencies only after providing valid commercial documents at a PRC bank specifically authorized to conduct foreign-exchange business.

In addition, conversion of RMB for capital account items, including direct investment and loans, is subject to governmental approval in the PRC, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign-exchange accounts for capital account items. There is no guarantee that PRC regulatory authorities will not impose additional restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB. These restrictions could prevent us from distributing dividends and thereby reduce the value of our stock.

Future inflation in China may inhibit our ability to conduct business in China.

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and high rates of inflation. Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the money supply and rising inflation. If prices for our products rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in the costs of supplies, it may have an adverse effect on profitability. These factors have led to the adoption by Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. High inflation may, in the future, cause Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market for our products.

Currency fluctuations and restrictions on currency exchange may adversely affect our business, including limiting our ability to convert Chinese Renminbi into foreign currencies and, if Chinese Renminbi were to decline in value, reducing our revenue in U.S. dollar terms.

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and our operations in China use their local currency, the Renminbi, as their functional currency. Substantially all of our revenue and expenses are in Chinese Renminbi. We are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations with respect to any of these currencies. For example, the value of the Renminbi depends to a large extent on Chinese government policies and China’s domestic and international economic and political developments, as well as supply and demand in the local market. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi to the U.S. dollar had generally been stable and the Renminbi had appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar. However, on July 21, 2005, the Chinese government changed its policy of pegging the value of Chinese Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, Chinese Renminbi may fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. It is possible that the Chinese government could adopt a more flexible currency policy, which could result in more significant fluctuation of Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. We can offer no assurance that Chinese Renminbi will be stable against the U.S. dollar or any other foreign currency.

The income statements of our operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currencies denominated transactions results in reduced revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international operations. Similarly, to the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions results in increased revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international operations. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as we convert the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars in consolidation. If there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the conversion of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars will lead to a translation gain or loss which is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. In addition, we have certain assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the relevant entity’s functional currency. Changes in the functional currency value of these assets and liabilities create fluctuations that will lead to a transaction gain or loss. We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks, although we may do so in the future. The availability and effectiveness of any hedging transaction may be limited and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exchange rate risks.

Risks Related to the VIE Agreements

If the PRC government determines that the contractual arrangements through which we control Wuhan Kingold do not comply with applicable regulations, our business could be adversely affected.

Although we believe our contractual relationships through which we control Wuhan Kingold comply with current licensing, registration and regulatory requirements of the PRC, we cannot assure you that the PRC government would agree, or that new and burdensome regulations will not be adopted in the future. If the PRC government determines that our structure or operating arrangements do not comply with applicable law, it could revoke our business and operating licenses, require us to discontinue or restrict our operations, restrict our right to collect revenues, require us to restructure our operations, impose additional conditions or requirements with which we may not be able to comply, impose restrictions on our business operations or on our customers, or take other regulatory or enforcement actions against us that could be harmful to our business.

The PRC government may determine that the VIE Agreements are not in compliance with applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations.

Vogue-Show manages and operates our gold jewelry business through Wuhan Kingold pursuant to the rights it holds under the VIE Agreements. Almost all economic benefits and risks arising from Wuhan Kingold’s operations are transferred to Vogue-Show under these agreements. Details of the VIE Agreements are set out in “Business — Company History” of this prospectus beginning on page 54.

There are risks involved with the operation of our business in reliance on the VIE Agreements, including the risk that the VIE Agreements may be determined by PRC regulators or courts to be unenforceable. Our PRC counsel has provided a legal opinion that the VIE Agreements are binding and enforceable under PRC law, but has further advised that if the VIE Agreements were for any reason determined to be in breach of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, the relevant regulatory authorities would have broad discretion in dealing with such breach, including:

Any of these actions could adversely affect our ability to manage, operate and gain the financial benefits of Wuhan Kingold, which would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to manage and operate Wuhan Kingold under the VIE Agreements may not be as effective as direct ownership.

We conduct our jewelry processing and sales businesses in the PRC and generate virtually all of our revenues through the VIE Agreements. Our plans for future growth are based substantially on growing the operations of Wuhan Kingold. However, the VIE Agreements may not be as effective in providing us with control over Wuhan Kingold as direct ownership. Under the current VIE arrangements, as a legal matter, if Wuhan Kingold fails to perform its obligations under these contractual arrangements, we may have to (i) incur substantial costs and resources to enforce such arrangements, and (ii) reply on legal remedies under PRC law, which we cannot be sure would be effective. Therefore, if we are unable to effectively control Wuhan Kingold, it may have an adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business objectives and grow our revenues.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As the VIE agreements are governed by PRC law, we would be required to rely on PRC law to enforce our rights and remedies under them; PRC law may not provide us with the same rights and remedies as are available in contractual disputes governed by the law of other jurisdictions.

The VIE Agreements are governed by the PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through court proceedings pursuant to PRC law. If Wuhan Kingold or its shareholders fail to perform the obligations under the VIE Agreements, we would be required to resort to legal remedies available under PRC law, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, or claiming damages. We cannot be sure that such remedies would provide us with effective means of causing Wuhan Kingold to meet its obligations, or recovering any losses or damages as a result of non-performance. Further, the legal environment in China is not as developed as in other jurisdictions. Uncertainties in the application of various laws, rules, regulations or policies in PRC legal system could limit our liability to enforce the VIE Agreements and protect our interests.

The VIE Agreements may be subject to audit or challenge by PRC tax authorities. A finding that we owe additional taxes could substantially reduce our net earnings and the value of your investment

Under PRC laws and regulations, arrangements and transactions among affiliated parties may be subject to audit or challenge by the PRC tax authorities. We could face material and adverse tax and financial consequences if the PRC tax authorities determine that the VIE Agreements do not represent arm’s-length prices. As a result of such a determination, the PRC tax authorities could adjust any of the income in the form of a transfer pricing adjustment. A transfer pricing adjustment could, among other things, result in a reduction of expense deductions for PRC tax purposes recorded by us or Wuhan Kingold or an increase in taxable income, all of which could increase our tax liabilities. In addition, the PRC tax authorities may impose late payment fees and other penalties on us or Wuhan Kingold for under-paid taxes.

Our shareholders have potential conflicts of interest with us which may adversely affect our business.

Zhihong Jia is our chief executive officer and our chairman, and is also the largest shareholder of Wuhan Kingold. There could be conflicts that arise from time to time between our interests and the interests of Mr. Jia. There could also be conflicts that arise between us and Wuhan Kingold that would require our shareholders and Wuhan Kingold’s shareholders to vote on corporate actions necessary to resolve the conflict. There can be no assurance in any such circumstances that Mr. Jia will vote his shares in our best interest or otherwise act in the best interests of our company. If Mr. Jia fails to act in our best interests, our operating performance and future growth could be adversely affected. In addition, some or all of our shareholders could violate the non-competition agreements they have signed with our company by diverting business opportunities from our company to others. In such event, our business, financial condition and results of operation could be adversely affected.

We rely on the approval certificates and business license held by Vogue-Show and any deterioration of the relationship between Vogue-Show and Wuhan Kingold could materially and adversely affect our business operations.

We operate our jewelry processing and sales businesses in China on the basis of the approval certificates, business license and other requisite licenses held by Vogue-Show. There is no assurance that Vogue-Show will be able to renew its license or certificates when their terms expire with substantially similar terms as the ones they currently hold.

Further, our relationship with Wuhan Kingold is governed by the VIE Agreements that are intended to provide us with effective control over the business operations of Wuhan Kingold. However, the VIE Agreements may not be effective in providing control over the application for and maintenance of the licenses required for our business operations. Wuhan Kingold could violate the VIE Agreements, go bankrupt, suffer from difficulties in its business or otherwise become unable to perform its obligations under the VIE Agreements and, as a result, our operations, reputations and business could be severely harmed.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If Vogue-Show exercises the purchase options it holds over Wuhan Kingold’s share capital and assets pursuant to the VIE Agreements, the payment of the purchase price could materially and adversely affect our financial position.

Under the VIE Agreements, Wuhan Kingold’s shareholders have granted Vogue-Show a ten-year option to purchase 95.83% of the share capital in Wuhan Kingold at a price determined by appraisal by an asset evaluation institution to be jointly appointed by Vogue-Show and Wuhan Kingold’s shareholders. Concurrently, Wuhan Kingold granted Vogue-Show a ten-year option to purchase Wuhan Kingold’s assets at a price determined by appraisal by such asset evaluation institution. As Wuhan Kingold is already our contractually controlled affiliate, Vogue-Show’s exercising of the above two options would not bring immediate benefits to our company, and payment of the purchase prices could adversely affect our financial position.

Risks Related to Our Capital Structure

Following the exercise of his Call Option, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer would exercise significant influence over us.

Our chairman and chief executive officer, Zhihong Jia, will beneficially own or control approximately 41% of our outstanding shares if he chooses to fully exercise his Call Option to purchase shares of Famous Grow. Mr. Jia thereafter could possibly have a controlling influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors, and other significant corporate actions. Mr. Jia may also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. In addition, without the consent of Mr. Jia, we could be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us. The interests of Mr. Jia may differ from the interests of our other stockholders.

If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. Any failure of these controls could also prevent us from maintaining accurate accounting records and discovering accounting errors and financial fraud. Rules adopted by the Commission pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and attestation of this assessment by our independent registered public accountants. We believe that the annual assessment of our internal controls requirement will first apply to our annual report for the 2009 fiscal year and the attestation requirement of management’s assessment by our independent registered public accountants will first apply to our annual report for the 2010 fiscal year. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are new and complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the attestation process by our independent registered public accountants is new and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving an attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accountants. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective, or our independent registered public accountants are unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on such assessment, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted.

In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting, or disclosure of our public accounting firm’s attestation to or report on management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related Commission regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the public markets and public reporting. Our management team will need to invest significant management time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.

We do not foresee paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, as a result, our investors’ sole source of gain, if any, will depend on capital appreciation, if any.

We do not plan to declare or pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the foreseeable future and currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth. As a result, investors should not rely on an investment in our securities if they require the investment to produce dividend income. Capital appreciation, if any, of our shares may be investors’ sole source of gain for the foreseeable future. Moreover, investors may not be able to resell their shares of our company at or above the price they paid for them.

Risk Related to the Offering

The market price for our shares may be volatile.

The market price for our shares are likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

The market price for our shares declined from $8.16 since the date of our last amendment, on December 6, 2010, to $3.44 as of January 7, 2011. This was largely the result of restricted shares held by certain of our stockholders, who originally acquired shares through our reverse merger in December 2009. Under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, their shares were restricted from sales without registration for a year, and these shares became unrestricted on December 29, 2010. The average daily volume of our common stock from August 18, 2010 (the first day that our common stock was listed on NASDAQ) to December 28, 2010 was 22,280 shares traded. On December 29, 2010, the trading volume of shares of our common stock significantly increased to 924,838 shares traded on that day, and the average trading volume of our common stock from December 29, 2010 to January 3, 2011 was 506,996 shares traded. Certain of our stockholders elected to begin sell large blocks of their shares on the date the restriction period lapsed, December 29, 2010, and thereafter placing significant downward pressure on the market price for our shares given the historical trading volume. In the future, our stockholders, including the stockholders which were a part of our reverse merger, may continue to sell large blocks of their shares, and thus the downward pressure on our stock price may continue.

Volatility in the price of our shares may result in shareholder litigation that could in turn result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The financial markets in the United States and other countries have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, and market prices have been and continue to be extremely volatile. Volatility in the price of our shares may be caused by factors outside of our control and may be unrelated or disproportionate to our results of operations. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a public company’s securities, shareholders have frequently instituted securities class action litigation against that company. Litigation of this kind could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.

Because we do not intend to pay dividends on our shares, stockholders will benefit from an investment in our shares only if those shares appreciate in value.

We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, for use in the operations and expansion of the business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on factors our board of directors deems relevant, including among others, our results of operations, financial condition and cash requirements, business prospects, and the terms of our credit facilities, if any, and any other financing arrangements. Accordingly, realization of a gain on stockholders’ investments will depend on the appreciation of the price of our shares, and there is no guarantee that our shares will appreciate in value.

Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value.

The assumed public offering price will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $1.70 per share, based on the public offering price of $3.44 per share. Investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the book value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment in our common stock will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.

We have not determined a specific use for a portion of the net proceeds from this offering, and it may use these proceeds in ways with which you may not agree.

While we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including purchasing gold to fulfill our orders for our products, we have not determined a specific use for a portion of the net proceeds of this offering. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of these proceeds received in connection with this offering. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. You must rely on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our profitability or increase our share price. The net proceeds from this offering may also be placed in investments that do not produce income or lose value.

We may need additional capital, and the sale of additional shares or equity or debt securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, anticipated cash flow from operations and the proceeds from this offering will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the foreseeable future. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If these resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain one or more additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. It is uncertain whether financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock following this offering may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the issuance of additional shares will dilute all other stockholdings.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or otherwise following this offering, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. After completion of this offering, our existing stockholders will own approximately 88% of our common stock assuming there is no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

After completion of this offering, there will be 48,343,073 shares of our common stock outstanding. Of our outstanding shares, the shares of common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable in the public market. In addition, our certificate of incorporation permits the issuance of up to approximately 51,656,927 additional shares of common stock after this offering. Thus, we have the ability to issue substantial amounts of common stock in the future, which would dilute the percentage ownership held by the investors who purchase shares of our common stock in this offering.

We have agreed, with limited exceptions, that we will not, without the prior written consent of Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, the representative of the underwriters, during the period ending 90 days from the effective date of this offering, among other things, directly or indirectly, offer to sell, sell or otherwise dispose of any of shares of our common stock or file a registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any shares of our common stock.

Each of our executive officers, and one of our affiliated stockholders holding more than 42% of our common stock immediately prior to this offering, Famous Grow Holdings Limited, have agreed, with limited exceptions, that they will not, without the prior written consent of Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, the representative of the underwriters, during the period ending 360 days from the effective date of this offering, among other things, directly or indirectly, offer to sell, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock.

Each of our independent directors have agreed, with limited exceptions, that they will not, without the prior written consent of Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, the representative of the underwriters, during the period ending 90 days from the effective date of this offering, among other things, directly or indirectly, offer to sell, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock.

After the lock-up agreements pertaining to this offering expire either 90 days or 360 days from the effective date of this offering, as applicable, unless waived earlier by Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, the representative of the underwriters, up to 18,227,148 of the shares that had been locked up will be eligible for future sale in the public market at prescribed times pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or otherwise. Sales of a significant number of these shares of common stock in the public market could reduce the market price of the common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from our sale of 6,000,000 shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $3.44 per share after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, will be approximately $17.6 million, or $20.5 million if the underwriter’s option to purchase additional 900,000 shares is exercised in full.

The following table presents the capital expenditures that we identify as priority capital initiatives, for which we intend to use the proceeds from this offering first and primarily:

Priority Initiatives		Capital Expenditure (in millions)
Purchases of 24 Karat gold bars		$	15.1
Recruit and train new employees			0.5
New jewelry design tool equipment			0.2
Annual security improvements			0.2
PRC marketing campaign			0.1
Total Capital Expenditure on Priority Plans		$	16.1

The total estimated capital expenditure of $16.1 million on our priority plans does not exceed the total estimated proceeds of $17.6 million from our sale of 6,000,000 shares of common stock, or $20.5 million from our sale of 6,900,000 shares of common stock if the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full, at the offering price of $3.44 per share after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The following table presents our current estimated allocations of such proceeds if the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares is or is not exercised in full.

		Use of Proceeds ($) (in millions)
Capital Expenditures		Underwriter option unexercised				Underwriter option exercised
Purchases of 24 Karat gold bars		$	15.1			$	17.8
Recruit and train new employees			0.5				0.5
New jewelry design tool equipment			0.2				0.2
Annual security improvements			0.2				0.2
PRC marketing campaign		$	0.1			$	0.1
Total		$	16.1			$	18.8

We intend to use the remaining net proceeds of $1.5 million, or $1.7 million if the over allotment option is exercised in full from this offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the status of our sales and marketing activities, the amount of cash generated or used by our operations. We may also use portions of the proceeds for other purposes, such as expanding our current business through acquisition of other complimentary businesses, products or technologies. However, we have not entered into any negotiations, agreements or commitments with respect to any such acquisitions at this time. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the application of our net proceeds from this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of these proceeds. Pending these uses, the proceeds will be deposited in commercial bank accounts in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

The number of pro forma shares of common stock shown as issued and outstanding in the table is based on 42,343,073 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2010 (and excludes 2,685,241 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding warrants to purchase our common stock as of September 30, 2010, with a weighted average exercise price of $1.01 per share). All share and per share information concerning our common stock has been adjusted to reflect, on a pro forma basis, our 1-for-2 reverse stock split of our common stock, which became effective of August 10, 2010.

A $1.00 decrease or increase in the assumed offering price would result in an approximately $5.6 million decrease or increase in each of pro forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total shareholders’ equity and total capitalization.

On January 7, 2011, the closing sale price of our shares of common stock was $3.44 per share and there were 42,343,073 shares of our common stock outstanding (which reflects a 1-for-2 reverse stock split that became effective on August 10, 2010). On that date, our shares of common stock were held by approximately 95 shareholders of record. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of our common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies.

Dividend Policy

We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Investors seeking cash dividends in the immediate future should not purchase our common stock.

Future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant. We can pay dividends only out of our profits or other distributable reserves and dividends or distribution will only be paid or made if we are able to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the board of directors after taking into account various factors, including current financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs and regulations governing dividend distributions by wholly foreign owned enterprises in China.

DILUTION

If you invest in our securities, your investment will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of common stock you pay in this offering, and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after this offering.

Pro forma net tangible book value represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by our total liabilities. Tangible assets equal our total assets less goodwill and intangible assets. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents our pro forma net tangible book value divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding, after giving effect to our 1-for-2 reverse stock split effective on August 10, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, our net tangible book value was $66.5 million and our net tangible book value per share was $1.57.

After giving effect to the sale of 6,000,000 shares of common stock in the assumed offering at a public offering price of $3.44 per share, and after deducting the underwriting discount and commission and estimated offering expenses, our adjusted pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2010 would have been $84.2 million, or $1.74 per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $0.17 per share to existing stockholders and immediate dilution of $1.70 per share to new investors purchasing shares in the offering.

The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

		As of September 30, 2010				As Adjusted
Public offering price per share						$	3.44
Net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2009		$	1.57
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors			0.17
Adjusted pro forma net tangible book value per share after the Offering							1.74
Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors						$	1.70

The information above is as of September 30, 2010 and excludes the following:

If the underwriters’ overallotment option is exercised, our adjusted pro forma net tangible book value after the offering will be $1.77 per share, and the dilution to new investors in the offering will be $2.13 per share.

A $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed public offering price per share would increase or decrease our adjusted pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering by approximately $5.6 million, and dilution per share to new investors by approximately $3.04 for an increase of $1.00, or $1.27 for an decrease of $1.00, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly under the heading “Risk Factors.”

Overview

We are engaged in the production and sales of 24 Karat gold jewelry and Chinese ornaments in the PRC under the Kingold brand through a variable interest entity relationship with Wuhan Kingold Jewelry Company Limited, a PRC company. All of our sales are made within the central part of the PRC including Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Jiangxi, Anhui and Sichuan Provinces.

We have historically sold our products directly to distributors, retailers and other wholesalers, who then sell our products to consumers through retail counters located in both department stores and other traditional stand-alone jewelry stores. We sell our products to our customers at a price that reflects the market price of the base material (24K gold), plus a mark-up reflecting our design fees and processing fees. Typically this mark-up ranges from 4 – 6% of the price of the base material.

We aim to become an increasingly important participant in the PRC’s gold jewelry design and manufacturing sector. In addition to expanding our design and manufacturing capabilities, our goal is to provide a large variety of gold products in unique styles and superior quality under our brand, Kingold.

We have been a member of the Shanghai Gold Exchange since 2003, and purchase our raw materials from them. Although the Chinese government eliminated the absolute restriction on trading gold in general, the right to purchase gold directly from the Shanghai Gold Exchange is limited. The Shanghai Gold Exchange implements a membership system and only members can buy gold through its trading system. There were only 162 members of the Shanghai Gold Exchange throughout China in 2008. Non-members who want to purchase gold must deal with members at a higher purchase price compared to that for members.

We are located in Wuhan which is the fourth largest city in PRC in terms of population. In 2009, we produced approximately 16 tons of 24 Karat gold products.

Key Components of Operating Results

Sources of Revenue

We derive our revenue almost entirely from the sales of 24 Karat jewelry and Chinese ornaments and from design fees we receive from other jewelry companies who hire us to design and produce 24 Karat jewelry and Chinese ornaments using gold they supply us. We offer a wide range of in-house designed products including but not limited to gold necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, and pendants. We only sell on a wholesale basis to distributors and retailers. Pricing of products is made at the time of sale based upon the then-current price of gold and sales are made on a cash on delivery basis.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales consists primarily of the cost for raw materials, namely, gold. We purchase gold almost exclusively directly from the Shanghai Gold Exchange, of which we are a member. We generally do not enter into long term purchase agreements for gold.

Operating Expenses

We classify our operating expenses into four categories: selling, general and administrative, stock compensation expenses, depreciation and amortization. Our operating expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, which include salaries, bonuses, taxes and employee benefit costs. Other expenses include advertising and promotional costs, facilities costs and legal, audit and tax, consulting and other professional service fees.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The government owns all of the land in the PRC. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the PRC government. Accordingly, we paid for land use rights in advance and such prepayments are being amortized and recorded as lease expenses using the straight-line method over the use terms of the lease. The amortization expenses were $11,051 and $10,859 for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for our executive, finance, human resources and administrative personnel, legal, audit and tax and other professional fees, depreciation expenses, insurance and other corporate expenses.

Sales

Selling expenses consist primarily of freight and transportation expenses, advertising and promotional costs and personnel costs for our sales team.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net consists of interest we earn on our cash and cash equivalents, interest expenses on our loans from Chinese local banks and fees we pay in connection with guarantees of our loans.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes primarily consists of corporate income taxes related to profits earned in the PRC from sales of our products. In December 2004 and 2006, we were awarded the status of a nationally recognized High and New Technology Enterprise, which entitled us to tax-free treatment from January 2004 to December 2008. Starting in January 2008, we became subject to the regular PRC corporate tax rate of 25%.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our consolidated financial statements. These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and related notes. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” We believe that the following paragraphs reflect our most critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Kingold, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Dragon Lead and Wuhan Vogue-Show and 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.

Inventories

Inventories consisting of finished goods, materials on hand, packaging materials and raw materials are stated at the lower of cost or market value. The value of finished goods is comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead. Cost is determined using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. We continually evaluate the composition of our inventories assessing the turnover of our products. To minimize the adverse effect of fluctuating gold prices, we lock in the price that we pay for gold only once a customer has placed an order and advanced a down payment equal to 20-30% of the overall order. Accordingly we do not make any reserve for inventory obsolescence.

Land Use Rights

Under PRC law, all land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to an individual or company. The government grants individuals and companies the right to use parcels of land for specified periods of time. These land use rights are sometimes referred to informally as “ownership.” Land use rights

TABLE OF CONTENTS

are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over the respective useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives typically range from 30 to 40 years, and are determined in the connection with the term of the land use right.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the assets’ estimated useful lives using the straight-line method while taking into account the assets’ estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives and residual values are as follows:

		Estimated Useful Life				Estimated Residual value
Buildings			30 years				5	%
Plant and machinery			15 years				5	%
Motor vehicles			10 years				5	%
Office furniture and electronic equipment			5 – 10 years				5	%

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the account and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income for that period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas material renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The long-lived assets held and used by us are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. It is possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. The recoverability value of an asset to be held and used is determined by comparing the carrying amount of such asset against the future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset. Our principal long-lived assets are our property, plant and equipment assets.

We must make various assumptions and estimates regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the respective assets. We use set criteria that are reviewed and approved by various levels of management, and estimate the fair value of our reporting units by using undiscounted cash flow analyses. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for the underlying assets at such time. Any such resulting impairment charges could be material to our results of operations.

If the value of such an asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value, less disposition costs. No events or changes in our business or circumstances required us to test for impairment of our long-lived assets during 2008, 2009 or the nine-months ended September 30, 2010, and accordingly, we did not recognize any impairment loss during these periods.

Competitive pricing pressure and changes in interest rates could materially and adversely affect our estimates of future net cash flows to be generated by our long-lived assets, and thus could result in future impairment losses.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue is derived from the sales price of goods sold and fees for services provided. We recognize revenue for goods sold when they are delivered to the customer. We recognize revenue for services provided when the services have been performed, the customers have approved the completion of services, invoices have been issued and collectability is deemed probable. Management has not made an allowance for estimated sales returns because they are considered immaterial when viewed in light of our overall revenue and historical experience. In recognizing revenue, we assume that the currency we receive from customers is valid legal tender in the PRC, our electronic record-keeping system has not been tampered with nor malfunctioned, and that we have not inadvertently sold significant amounts of defective goods. If any of these assumptions were proven to be incorrect, we could have to restate our revenue. Historically, as of the date of this prospectus, none of these assumptions has proven to be incorrect.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased to $169.7 million, an increase of $76.0 million, or 81.1%, from net sales of $93.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the increased amount of products sold as well as by the increase in the price of gold. Of the $76.0 million increase, $51 million was attributable to increases in production and $25 million was attributable to the increase in the price of gold.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased to $338.1 million, an increase of $146.0 million, or 76%, from net sales of $192.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the increased amount of products sold as well as by the increase in the price of gold. 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased to $160.8 million, an increase of $70.9 million, or 79.1% from $89.8 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to the increased price of gold and the increased amount of gold required to fulfill our increased sales volume for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Of the $70.9 million increase, the increased cost attributable to increased gold price was $24.2 million, and the increased cost attributable to the increase in the amount of gold purchased for expanded production was $46.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the corresponding 2009 period. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased to 94.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 95.8% for the corresponding period in 2009, mainly because of economic of scale.

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased to $315.6 million, an increase of $134 million, or 73.8% from $181.6 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to the increased price of gold and the increased amount of gold required to fulfill our increased sales volume for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Of the $134 million increase, the increased cost due to increased gold price was $50 million, and the increased cost due to increased amount of gold purchased for expanded production was $84 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the corresponding 2009 period. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased to 93.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 94.6% for the corresponding period in 2009, mainly because of economic of scale.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased to $8.6 million, an increase of $5.0 million, or 138.1%, from $3.6 million for the same period in 2009. Gross margin as a percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased to 5.1%, compared to 3.9% for the same period in 2009. The increase in our gross profit and the increase in our gross margin were primarily due to the increase in production and sales volume of gold, as well as lower cost of sales attributable to economics of scale. In addition, we have continued to focus on production of our proprietary brands (MGold in particular) that have higher profit margins as compared to our other products. Our increased gross margin reflects this shift in focus.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased to $21.7 million, an increase of $12.1 million, or 125.5%, from $9.6 million for the same period in 2009. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased to 6.4%, compared to 5.0% for the same period in 2009. The increase in our gross profit and the increase in our gross margin were primarily due to the increase in production and sales volume of gold, as well as lower cost of sales stemming from our increase realization of economics of scale. In addition, we have continued to focus on production of our proprietary brands (MGold in particular) that have higher profit margins as compared to our other products. Our increased gross margin reflects this shift in focus.

Expenses

Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $1.04 million, an increase of $0.63 million or 151.3%, from $0.41 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in operating

TABLE OF CONTENTS

expenses during the 2010 period was primarily due to increased sales and administration expenses of $0.33 million and expenses of $0.3 million related to operating a public company in the United States.

Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $2.23 million, an increase of $1.02 million or 84.6%, from $1.21 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in operating expenses during the 2010 period was primarily due to increased sales and administration expenses of $0.52 million and expenses of $0.5 million related to operating a public company in the United States.

Interest expenses were $0.135 million for three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $0.04 million or 22.6%, from $0.175 million for same period in 2009. The decrease in interest expense was primarily a result of a decrease of the average loan balance for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Interest expenses were $0.405 million for nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $0.184 million or 31.2%, from $0.589 million for same period in 2009. The decrease in interest expense was primarily a result of a decrease of the average loan balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Our provision for income tax expense was $1.98 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $1.25 million, or 171%, from $0.73 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to our increased income from operations during these three months ended September 30, 2010.

Our provision for income tax expense was $4.93 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $3.05 million, or 162.9%, from $1.87 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to our increased income from operations during these nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Net Income

Net income attributable to common stockholders increased to $5.25 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $2.23 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $3.02 million, or 135.1% as result of the matters described above.

Net income attributable to common stockholders increased to $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $5.76 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $7.74 million, or 134.5% as result of the matters described above.

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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2008

Net Sales

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to $250.5 million, an increase of $140.7 million, or 128%, from net sales of $109.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the increased amount of products sold as well as by the increase in the price of gold. Of the $140.7 million increase, $133 million was attributable to increases in production and $7.7 million was attributable to the increase in the price of gold.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the following factors: (1) our increased working capital has allowed us to take advantage of the increase in demand for the items that we manufacture; (2) in 2009, we significantly expanded our customer bases, particularly by securing contracts with regional wholesalers and distributors such as Qianjin Jewelry Co., Ltd from Guizhou Province, Kaihen Jewelry Co., Ltd from Jiangxi Province and Jincui Jewelry from Henan Province. As a result, we dramatically increased our Branded Production (i.e. we purchase gold only once customers have placed an order and put down a down payment); and (3) in 2009, we started expanding into new product lines in Chinese ornament market.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to $234.7 million, an increase of $136.2 million, or 138%, from $98.5 million for the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to the increased amount of gold required to fulfill our increased sales volume as well as comparable the increase in the price of gold for the year ended December 31, 2009. Of the $136.2 million increase, the increased cost attributable to the increased amount of gold purchased for production was $130.2 million and the increased cost due to increased gold price was $6 million. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased to 93.7% for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 89.8% for the corresponding period in 2008, mainly because of a production shift. In 2009, the Company shifted more production from Customized Production (i.e clients supplied raw materials thus making the products cost comparatively less to produce as compared to Branded Production) to Branded Production. Sales of Customized Production decreased from 8.3% to 2.5% out of total sales from 2008 to 2009.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to $15.7 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 40%, from $11.2 million for the same period in 2008. The gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2009 was 6.3%, compared to 10.2% for the same period in 2008. The decrease in the gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily due to the production shift from Customized to Branded Production described above.

Expenses

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 were approximately $2.5 million, an increase of $1.4 million or 120%, from $1.1 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase of $1.2 million of expenses related to our expanded production and increased expense of $0.2 million related to going public in the OTCBB market.

Interest expenses were approximately $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $0.7 million or 50%, from $1.4 million for same period in 2008. The decrease in interest expense was primarily a result of our decrease in short term bank financing from $14.15 million to $8.78 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Net income attributable to common stockholders increased to $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $2.6 million, or 42% as result of the matters described above.

Net and Other Comprehensive Income

Provision for income tax expense was approximately $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $1.1 million, or 54%, from approximately $2.1 million for the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to our increased income from operations during 2009.

Other comprehensive income attributable to common stockholders was approximately $0.07 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $1.38 million, from $1.45 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 mainly due to foreign currency translation gains in 2008. In 2008, the RMB appreciated significantly against the Dollar, conversely, in 2009, the RMB/USD exchange rate was stable.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1.9 million for the same period in 2008. The increase of $0.14 million was primarily a result of a decrease in inventory which was almost entirely offset by an increase in value added tax recoverable. Our inventory at the end of 2008 was $7 million more than that at the end of 2009, due primarily to the fact that we received several large orders at the end of the year. Accordingly, the Company did not have sufficient time to process and deliver the finished goods by the end of 2008, thus explaining the comparatively higher inventory number (attributable to the higher work-in-progress) in 2008. The same did not occur at the end of 2009.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $26,428 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $483,208 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by approximately $456,780 in 2009 primarily due to a decrease in the purchase of property and equipment, as the Company had acquired sufficient property and equipment for production in 2008.

Analysis and Expectations. We do not expect that cash used in investing activities will increase significantly in the short term.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase of $12.4 million was primarily a result of an increase in restricted cash, net proceeds from investors and contribution from stockholders. In 2009, the Company reduced its loans following the $4.5 million private placement on December 23, 2009. As a result, the Company was able to free up $1.23 million in restricted cash which was previously held as a loan guarantee.

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

Foreign Currency Translations

We use the U.S. dollar as the reporting currency for our financial statements. Our operations are conducted through our PRC operating subsidiary, Vogue-Show, and our functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated to the RMB at the approximate rates of exchange on the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies on the balance sheet are translated at the approximate rates of exchange at the respective balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time that the asset or liability was acquired. Exchange gains or losses are recorded in the statement of operations.

Our financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. All gains and losses attributable to foreign currency exchange are recorded within equity.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into U.S. dollars for the purposes of preparing the financial statements were as follows:

		December 31, 2009				December 31, 2008
Balance sheet items, except for share capital, additional paid-in capital and retained earnings, as of year end		$	1=RMB 6.8372			$	1=RMB 6.8542
Amounts included in the statements of operations and cash flows for the year		$	1=RMB 6.84088			$	1=RMB 6.96225

The translation gain recorded for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $75,531 and $1,461,217, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

No representation is made that RMB amounts have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at the above rates or at all. Although the Chinese government regulations now allow convertibility of RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain. Hence, such translations should not be construed as representations that RMB can be converted into U.S. dollars at the above conversion rate, or any other rate.

The value of RMB against U.S. dollar 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 our financial condition in terms of U.S. dollar reporting.

December 2009 Private Placement

On December 23, 2009, immediately prior to the closing of the reverse acquisition, we completed a private placement with 14 investors. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement entered into with the investors, after giving effect to our 1-for-2 reverse stock split, we sold an aggregate of 5,120,483 newly issued shares of our common stock at $0.996 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.1 million. The investors in the private placement also received warrants to purchase up to 1,024,096 shares of common stock at the price of $0.996 per share. After commissions and expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $4.55 million in the private placement. In addition, warrants to purchase up to 1,536,145 shares of common stock at the price of $0.966 per share were issued to various consultants who assisted in the transaction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2010, we had $9.48 million in cash and cash equivalents. We have historically financed our operations with cash flow generated from operations, as well as through the borrowing of short-term bank loans with a term of one year. At September 30, 2010, we had outstanding short-term loans with banks in an aggregate amount of $8.97 million with a weighted average interest rate of 5.02%. Specifically, at September 30, 2010, we had a loan in the amount of $5,978,037 from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank due in May 2011, in a loan in the amount of $2,989,018 from Xinye bank due in December 14, 2010. Our loans from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank were paid off in full and then refinanced in the same principal amounts and upon the same terms. Our loans are secured by buildings, plant and machinery and/or guaranteed by non-affiliates. The amounts outstanding under these bank loans are presented in our financial statements as “short term loans.” For additional information, see Note 8 and Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements contained in this prospectus. In China, it is customary practice for banks and borrowers to negotiate roll-overs or renewals of short-term borrowings on an on-going basis shortly before they mature. Although we have renewed our short-term borrowings in the past, we cannot assure you that we will be able to renew these loans in the future as they mature. If we are unable to obtain renewals of these loans or sufficient alternative funding on reasonable terms from banks or other parties, we will have to repay these borrowings with the cash on our balance sheet or cash generated by our future operations, if any. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to repay these borrowing or that additional debt or equity financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to maintain financing arrangements on acceptable terms would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We believe that our current cash and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including our cash needs for working capital, for the next 12 months. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity depends partially on our ability to achieve anticipated levels of revenue, while continuing to control costs. If we do not have sufficient available cash, we would have to seek additional debt or equity financing through other external sources, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to maintain financing arrangements on acceptable terms would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We are required to contribute a portion of our employees’ total salaries to the Chinese government’s social insurance funds, including pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, job injuries insurance, and maternity insurance, in accordance with relevant regulations. We expect that the amount of our contribution to the government’s social insurance funds will increase in the future as we expand our workforce and operations and commence contributions to an employee housing fund.

The ability of Vogue-Show to pay dividends may be restricted due to the PRC’s foreign exchange control policies and our availability of cash. A majority of our revenue being earned and currency received is denominated in RMB. We may be unable to distribute any dividends outside of China due to PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into U.S. Dollars. Accordingly, Vogue-Show’s funds may not be readily available to us to satisfy obligations which have been incurred outside the PRC, which could adversely affect our business and prospects or our ability to meet our cash obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off-balance sheet transactions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2010, FASB issued new standards in ASC 855, Subsequent Event. This amendment removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of GAAP. All of the amendments are effective upon issuance of the final update, except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. We do not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, FASB amended ASC 820 Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We have determined the adoption of this rule does not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In January 2010, FASB amended Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments in this Update clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. We do not expect the adoption of this rule to have a material impact on its financial statements.

BUSINESS

Through a variable interest entity relationship with Wuhan Kingold Jewelry Company Limited, we believe that we are one of the leading professional designers and manufacturers of high quality 24 Karat gold jewelry and Chinese ornaments developing, promoting, and selling a broad range of products to the rapidly expanding Chinese luxury goods market in the central part of the Peoples Republic of China, or PRC, including Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Jiangxi, Anhui and Sichuan Provinces. According to accreditations provided by the China Gold Association, we ranked as one of the top three gold jewelry manufacturers in China in both 2008 and 2009. We offer a wide range of in-house designed products including but not limited to gold necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, and pendants. We launch as many as 900 new products each month, and approximately 10,000 every year.

We have historically sold our products directly to distributors, retailers and other wholesalers, who then sell our products to consumers through retail counters located in both department stores and other traditional stand-alone jewelry stores. We sell our products to our customers at a price that reflects the market price of the base material, plus a mark-up reflecting our design fees and processing fees. Typically this mark-up ranges from 4 – 6% of the price of the base material.

We aim to become an increasingly important participant in the PRC’s gold jewelry design and manufacturing sector. In addition to expanding our design and manufacturing capabilities, our goal is to provide a large variety of gold products in unique styles and superior quality under our brand, Kingold.

We are located in Wuhan which is the fourth largest city in China. In 2009, we produced approximately 16 tons of 24K gold products.

Industry and Market Overview

The Global Market

According to the World Gold Council, worldwide demand for gold, including gold products and gold purchased for investment, decreased in 2009 due to the worldwide recession to approximately 3,385 metric tons down from approximately 3,805 metric tons and approximately 3,551 metric tons in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Jewelry has historically taken the largest share of final demand for gold, accounting for around 57% of total demand (2007 – 2009 average), worth approximately $55 billion at the annual average gold price in 2009. Worldwide demand for gold jewelry in 2009 was approximately 1,747 metric tons which decreased from approximately 2,186 metric tons in 2008 and approximately 2,408 metric tons in 2007. However, demand in the fourth quarter of 2009 increased to approximately 500 metric tons from only approximately 336 metric tons in the first quarter of 2009.

The PRC Market

China’s market for jewelry and other luxury goods is expanding rapidly, in large part due to China’s rapid economic growth. According to the State Bureau of Statistics of China, China’s real gross domestic product, or GDP, grew by approximately 10.4%, 10.7%, 11.4%, 9% and 8.7% in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively. In 2008 and 2009, in spite of the global economic slowdown, its GDP still grew by approximately 9% and 8.7%, respectively, among the highest growth rates in the world. Economic growth in China has led to greater levels of personal disposable income and increased spending among China’s expanding consumer base. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, or EIU, private consumption has grown at a 9% compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, over the last decade. According to the World Gold Council, Chinese gold demand has increased by 106% from 2002 to an estimated 443 metric tons in 2009, or an average of 8% per annum during the same period. According to Global Industry Analysts, Inc., or GIA, the total market size for precious jewelry will exceed $18.2 billion in 2010. China has historically been the second largest gold consumer following India. Gold consumption in China is largely driven by the demand for gold jewelry, which accounts for 92% of gold consumption.

We believe that China’s gold jewelry market will continue to grow as China’s economy continues to develop. Because gold has long been a symbol of wealth and prosperity in China, demand for gold jewelry, particularly 24 Karat gold jewelry, is firmly embedded in the country’s culture. Gold has long been viewed as both a secure and accessible savings vehicle, and as a symbol of wealth and prosperity in Chinese culture. In

addition, gold jewelry plays an important role in marriage ceremonies, child births and other major life events in China. Gold ornaments, often in the shapes of dragons, horses and other cultural icons, have long been a customary gift for newly married-couples and newly-born children in China. As China’s population becomes more urban, more westernized and more affluent, gold, platinum and other precious metal jewelry are becoming increasingly popular and affordable fashion accessories. The gold jewelry market is currently benefiting from rising consumer spending and rapid urbanization of the Chinese population. We believe that jewelry companies like us, with a developed distribution network, attractive designs and reliable product quality, are well-positioned to build up our brands and capture an increasing share of China’s growing gold jewelry market.

Our Strengths

We believe the following strengths contribute to our competitive advantages and differentiate us from our competitors:

We have a proven manufacturing capability.

We have developed seven proprietary processes which we believe are well integrated and are crucial to gold jewelry manufacturing, namely the processes for 99.9% gold hardening, rubber mould opening efficiency, solder-less welding, pattern carving, chain weaving, dewaxing casting, and our coloring methods.

We have a proven design capability.

We have a large and experienced in-house design team with a track record of developing products that are fashionable and well received in the jewelry market. We launch as many as 900 new products each month and approximately 10,000 every year. We are committed to further strengthening our design team and continuing to improve the quality and novelty of our products so as to capture increased market share in the high-end gold jewelry market.

We believe that we have a superior brand awareness in China.

We have established the Kingold brand through our focused sales and marketing efforts, and we believe it is well known in China. We continue to devote significant effort towards brand development and marketing in an attempt to enhance the market recognition of our products, such as our M gold jewelry line of products. Our brand awareness was demonstrated in part by “Kingold” being named a “Famous Brand in Hubei Province,” “Famous Brand in China,” and “Famous Jewelry Brand” by the General Administration of Quality Supervision and China Top Brand Strategy Promotion Committee in 2007. We believe these awards have added credibility to and strengthened customers’ confidence in our products. We have also participated in various exhibitions and trade fairs to promote our products and brands.

We have a well established distribution network throughout China.

We have been actively operating in this industry for more than six years since the gold jewelry industry became open to the private sector in 2002. In the jewelry industry, a well established and maintained distribution network is critical to success. We have established stable and mutually beneficial business relationships with many business partners, including large distributors, wholesalers and retailers. These relationships are essential to our company, and provide a key competitive advantage for us. We have distributors in most provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in PRC.

We believe that we have significant advantages when compared to our competitors in the areas of capacity, technology and talent.

We have expanded our capacity significantly in recent years. In 2009, we produced 24K gold jewelry and Chinese ornaments with a total weight of approximately 16 tons, as opposed to 14 tons and 11 tons, in 2008 and 2007, respectively. We attach great importance to the continuous improvement of our technology. Our gold processing systems dramatically reduce waste during the manufacturing process to approximately just one gram per kilogram of gold. We were certified as a “High-tech and Innovative Company” by Wuhan Science and Technology Bureau for the 2004 and 2006 biennial periods.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We have been awarded 23 patents granted by the State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC, and have filed applications for three patents which have been accepted and are under review by the State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC. We have made significant investment in training and retaining our own in-house design and manufacturing team. We have an exclusive agreement with the China University of Geosciences, School of Jewelry in Wuhan, which provides us with new, unique and innovative designs by students majoring in jewelry design and jewelry processing technology. These designs are proprietary to us, so our competitors do not have access to these designs. We also provide internships to talented students at the School of Jewelry which provides us with access to the designs that we believe are best suited for strong consumer sales.

We are a member of the Shanghai Gold Exchange which has very limited membership.

We have been a member of the Shanghai Gold Exchange since 2003. Although the Chinese government eliminated the absolute restriction on trading gold in general, the right to purchase gold directly from the Shanghai Gold Exchange is limited. The Shanghai Gold Exchange implements a membership system and only members can buy gold through its trading system. There were only 162 members of the Shanghai Gold Exchange throughout China in 2008. Non-members who want to purchase gold must deal with members at a higher purchase price compared to that for members.

We have an experienced management team in the Chinese gold industry.

We have a strong and stable management team with valuable experience in the PRC jewelry industry. Zhihong Jia, Wuhan Kingold’s major shareholder and founder, has been working in this industry for more than ten years. Bin Zhao, our general manager, has over 18 years of experience in jewelry businesses administration. Other members of our senior management team all have significant experience in key aspects of our operations, including product design, manufacturing, and sales and marketing.

Our Strategy

Our goal is to be the leading vertically-integrated designer, manufacturer, and retailer of 24 Karat gold jewelry products in China. We intend to achieve our goal by implementing the following strategies:

We intend to increase our capacity.

We intend to continue to expand the production capacity by purchasing additional gold. We are in the process of hiring and training more than 100 new employees at our manufacturing facility in order to meet demand. We also intend to consider acquisition opportunities in order to further expand capacity. Given the fragmentation of the PRC gold jewelry and design industry, we believe there may be attractive acquisition opportunities which could allow us to further increase our market share.

We plan to continue to specialize in the manufacture of 24 Karat gold jewelry.

We intend to leverage our experience in jewelry design to introduce new fashionable products with strong market recognition, such as our M gold jewelry line of products. By investing significantly in research and development, we plan to design new product lines of 24 Karat gold jewelry to meet specific needs of our target customers. By staying on top of market trends, expanding our design team and capabilities, we plan to continue to increase our revenues and market share.

We intent to further promote and improve the use of our brand recognition.

We intend to make significant efforts in growing our brand recognition of our Kingold brand and strengthening our market. As part of the initiative, we plan to launch an advertising campaign over Chinese television networks to promote our gold jewelry products as well as through popular magazines throughout China. Through marketing and promotion of our high end product lines, we believe the credentials and reputation of our brand will be further enhanced.

We will increase the automation in our production line.

Our production lines use modern technologies and production techniques that we strive to continuously improve. We plan to increase the level of automation in our production lines by purchasing additional gold to increase the use of our existing advanced equipment, which will lower our average costs and expand our production capacity.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We intend to enlarge our PRC customer base.

We intend to strive to expand our PRC customer base by strengthening current relationships with distributors, retailers and other wholesalers in our existing markets. We also plan to expand upon our customer base by developing new relationships with strategic distributors and retailers in markets we have not yet penetrated and adding direct customers in PRC.

Products

We currently offer a wide range of 24 Karat gold products including 99.9% and 99% pure gold necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, pendants and gold bars. We launch as many as 900 new products each month and approximately 10,000 every year.

Design and Manufacturing

We have adopted a systematic approach that we believe is rigorous to product design and manufacturing. We employ a senior design team with members educated by top art schools or colleges in China including an exclusive agreement with the China University of Geosciences, School of Jewelry (Wuhan), with an average of three to five years of experience. Our design team develops and generates new ideas from a variety of sources, including direct customer feedback, trade shows, and industry conferences. We generally test the market potential and customer appeal of our new products and services through a wide out-reach program in specific regions prior to full commercial launch. We have a large-scale production base that includes a 74,933 square feet factory, a dedicated design, sales and marketing team, and more than 500 company-trained employees. Our production lines include automated jewelry processing equipment and procedures that we can rapidly modify to accommodate new designs and styles.

Supply of Raw Materials

We purchase gold, our major raw material, directly from the Shanghai Gold Exchange, of which we are a member. The membership grants us a privilege to the purchase of gold from the Shanghai Gold Exchange which non-members do not have.

Security Measures

We believe that we implement the best of breed security measures to protect our assets, including our 24 Karat gold, which are well beyond those of our competitors. Our comprehensive security measures include a 24 hour onsite police station with direct deployment of officers and instant access to the Wuhan city police department, security guards at each point of entry and who roam our facilities, security cameras (with video surveillance by both random and fixed cameras), and alarm systems in our warehouse. Our gold is stored in a state of the art vault with encryption and authentication technology which requires several designated management employees to open the vault who all have different access codes only known to a limited number of officers. Therefore, no one individual can open our vault without the access codes of the others. In addition, every employee or visitor is required to pass through a security check (metal screen, etc.) when he or she enters and leaves the jewelry production area. We review our security measures on an annual basis and regularly look to upgrade our systems after such review.

Quality Control

We consider quality control an important factor for our business success. We have a strict quality control system which is implemented by a well-trained team to ensure effective quality control over every step of our business operation, from design and manufacturing to marketing and sales. We have received ISO 9001 accreditation from the International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”) attesting to our quality control systems. In 2004 we were named an “Honest and Trustworthy Enterprise” from Hubei Quality Supervising and Administration Bureau.

Sales and Marketing

Currently we have over 280 wholesale and retail customers covering 15 provinces in China. Except for our on-site exhibition store we currently do not carry out retail sales of jewelry products. We have very stable relationships with our major customers who have generally increased order volume year by year.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Major Customers

During the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately 31.49% of our net sales were generated from our five largest customers as compared to 21.3% for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our largest customer during the past two years, Shenzhen Yuehao Jewelry Co., Ltd accounted for 7.83% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 9.8% for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Research and Development

We have our own Research and Development, R&D, center made up of a design group and a technical development group. In 2008, we spent $85,000 on new product development (including sponsoring design interns and recruiting top designers and technicians) and $75,000 in technology improvement. In 2009, we spent $85,000 on new product development (including sponsoring design interns and recruiting top designers and technicians) and $10,000 in technology improvement. We believe that our company is among the few jewelry manufacturers in PRC that is equipped with modern facilities and technology. Through years of research, we have developed seven techniques which have been key drivers to our competitive strength and operating success. These techniques include 99.99% gold hardening, rubber mould opening efficiency, solder-less welding, pattern carving, chain weaving, dewaxing casting, and our coloring methods. Our track record of technical innovation has resulted in the development and acquisition of industry-leading equipment. This equipment ensures that we are able to produce special patterns and styles efficiently.

Competition

The jewelry industry in China is highly fragmented and very competitive. No single competitor has a significant percentage of the overall market. We believe that the market may become even more competitive as the industry grows and/or consolidates.

We produce high-quality jewelry for which the demand has grown year by year as income levels in China have risen and customers continue to appreciate the high quality of our products. We believe Kingold is well known as a nationwide famous trademark which has substantially differentiated us from most of our competitors.

We compete with local jewelry manufacturers and large foreign multinational companies that offer products similar to ours. Examples of our competition include, but are not limited to, Zhejiang Sun & Moon Jewelry Group Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Bo Fook Jewelry Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Ganlu Jewelry Co., Ltd., Magfrey Jewelry Co., Ltd., and Guangdong Chaohongji Co., Ltd.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of patent, trademark and trade secret protection and other unpatented proprietary information to protect our intellectual property rights and to maintain and enhance our competitiveness in the jewelry industry.

We currently have 23 patents granted by the State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC, two of which expire in 2018, and twenty one in 2020 and have filed applications for three patents which have been accepted and are under review by the State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC.

We have ten registered trademarks in China, three of which expire in 2017, one in 2019, and six in 2020 and have filed applications for registration of five trademarks which have been accepted and are currently under review by the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of the PRC. In particular, “Kingold” has been named as a “Famous Brand in Hubei Province,” “Famous Brand in China,” and “Famous Jewelry Brand” by the General Administration of Quality Supervision and China Top Brand Strategy Promotion Committee.

We have implemented and enhanced file management procedures in an effort to protect our intellectual property rights. However, there can be no assurance that our intellectual property rights will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, that others will not assert intellectual property rights to technologies that are relevant to us, or that our rights will give us a competitive advantage. In addition, the laws of China may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws in other jurisdictions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PRC Government Regulations

We are subject to various PRC laws and regulations which are relevant to our business. Our business license permits us to design, manufacture, sell and market jewelry products to department stores throughout China, and allows us to engage in the retail distribution of our products. Any further amendment to the scope of our business will require additional government approvals. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the necessary government approval for any change or expansion of our business.

Under the applicable PRC laws, supplies of precious metals such as platinum, gold and silver are highly regulated by certain government agencies, such as the People’s Bank of China. The Shanghai Gold Exchange is the only PBOC authorized supplier of precious metal materials and is our primary source of supply for our raw materials, which substantially consist of precious metals. We are required to obtain and hold several membership and approval certificates from these government agencies in order to continue to conduct our business. We may be required to renew such memberships and to obtain approval certificates periodically. If we are unable to renew these periodic membership or approval certificates, it would materially affect our business operations. We are currently in good standing with these agencies.

We have also been granted independent import and export rights. These rights permit us to import and export jewelry in and out of China. With the relatively lower cost of production in China, we intend to expand into overseas markets after the launch of our China-based retail plan. We do not currently have plans to import jewelry into China.

Environment Protection

Our production facilities in Wuhan are subject to environmental regulation by both the central government of the PRC and by local government agencies. We have obtained all necessary operating permits as required from the Environmental Protection Bureau, and believe that we are in compliance with local regulations governing waste production and disposal, and that our production facilities have met the public safety requirements regarding refuse, emissions, lights, noise and radiation. Since our commencement of operations, we have not been cited for any environmental violations. Since our production process creates almost no waste water or pollution, our costs for environmental compliance have been minimal. During 2008, our costs for environmental compliance were approximately $43,000, primarily devoted to the purchase of a water filter tower and air purification tower. In 2009, our costs for environmental compliance were less than $5,000.

Tax

Wuhan Kingold was incorporated in the PRC and is subject to PRC income tax which is computed according to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC. The applicable income tax rate is 25%.

Pursuant to the Provisional Regulation of China on Value-Added Tax and its implementing rules, all entities and individuals that are engaged in the sale of goods, the provision of repairs and replacement services and the importation of goods in China are generally required to pay VAT at a rate of 17.0% of the gross sales proceeds received, less any deductible VAT already paid or borne by the taxpayer.

Foreign Currency Exchange

Under the PRC foreign currency exchange regulations applicable to us, the Renminbi is convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest payments, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions. Conversion of Renminbi for capital account items, such as direct investment, loan, security investment and repatriation of investment, however, is still subject to the approval of the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE. Foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell and/or remit foreign currencies at those banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business after providing valid commercial documents and, in the case of capital account item transactions, obtaining approval from the SAFE. Capital investments by foreign-invested enterprises outside of China are also subject to limitations, which include approvals by the Ministry of Commerce, the SAFE and the State Reform and Development Commission.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Dividend Distributions

Under applicable PRC regulations, foreign-invested enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a foreign-invested enterprise in China is required to set aside at least 10.0% of their after-tax profits each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves has reached 50.0% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a foreign-invested enterprise has the discretion to allocate a portion of its after-tax profits to staff welfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.

Employees

As of January 7, 2011, we had approximately 500 full time employees all of which are located in PRC, except our chief financial officer. There are no collective bargaining contracts covering any of our employees. We believe our relationship with our employees is satisfactory. Our full time employees are entitled to employee benefits including medical care, work related injury insurance, maternity insurance, unemployment insurance and pension benefits through a Chinese government mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan. We are required to accrue for those benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries and make contributions to the plans out of the amounts accrued for medical and pension benefits. The total provisions and contributions made for such employee benefits was $17,058 $80,107, and $34,549 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Chinese government is responsible for the medical benefits and the pension liability paid to these employees.

Effective from January 1, 2008, the PRC has introduced a new labor contract law that enhances rights for the nation’s workers, including open-ended work contracts and severance payment, such Law requires employers to enter into labor contracts with their workers in writing, restricts the use of temporary laborers and makes it harder to lay off employees. It also requires that employees with a fixed-term contract shall be entitled to an indefinite-term contract after the fixed-term contract has been renewed twice. Although the new labor contract law would increase our labor costs, we do not anticipate there will be any significantly effects on our overall profitability in the near future since such amount was historically not material to our operating cost. Management anticipates this may be a step toward improving candidate retention for skilled workers. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that we have a good relationship with our employees.

Company History

Since December 2009, we have been engaged in the design, manufacturing and sale of gold jewelry in the People’s Republic of China, or PRC, via a variable interest entity relationship with Wuhan Kingold Jewelry Company Limited, a PRC company.

We were initially incorporated in 1995 in Delaware as Vanguard Enterprises, Inc. In 1999, we changed our corporate name to Activeworlds.com, Inc. (and subsequently to Activeworlds Corp.) and through a wholly-owned subsidiary we provided internet software products and services that enabled the delivery of three-dimensional content over the internet. We operated that business until September 11, 2002 when we sold that business to our former management and we became a shell company with no significant business operations. As a result of the consummation of a reverse acquisition transaction as described below, on December 23, 2009, we ceased to be a shell company and became an indirect holding company for Vogue-Show through Dragon Lead.

Acquisition of Kingold and Name Change

In December 2009, we acquired 100% of Dragon Lead from the shareholders of Dragon Lead in a share exchange transaction pursuant to which the shareholders of Dragon Lead exchanged 100% ownership in Dragon Lead, for 33,104,234 shares of our common stock. As a result, Dragon Lead became our wholly owned subsidiary. Dragon Lead owns 100% of Vogue-Show and Vogue-Show controls Wuhan Kingold through a series of variable interest entity agreements. We currently operate through Dragon Lead and Vogue-Show.

In February 2010, we changed our name to Kingold Jewelry, Inc. to better reflect our business.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Organizational History of Dragon Lead and its Subsidiaries

Dragon Lead Group Limited, or Dragon Lead, a British Virgin Islands (BVI) corporation was incorporated in the BVI on July 1, 2008 as an investment holding company. Dragon Lead owns 100% of the ownership interest in Vogue-Show.

Vogue-Show was incorporated in the PRC as a WFOE on February 16, 2009. Wuhan Kingold was incorporated in the PRC as a limited liability company on August 2, 2002 by Zhihong Jia, as the major shareholder, and Xue Su Yue who sold her shares in Wuhan Kingold to Zhihong Jia and Chen Wei in 2003. On October 26, 2007, Wuhan Kingold was restructured as a joint stock company limited by shares. Its business activities are principally the design and manufacture of gold ornaments in the PRC. Wuhan Kingold’s business license will expire on March 4, 2021 and is renewable upon expiration. The registered and paid-in capital of Wuhan Kingold is RMB 120 million.

The Vogue-Show/Wuhan Kingold VIE Relationship

On June 30, 2009, Vogue-Show entered into a series of agreements with Wuhan Kingold and shareholders holding 95.83% of the outstanding equity of Wuhan Kingold under which Wuhan Kingold agreed to pay 95.83% of its after-tax profits to Vogue-Show and shareholders owning 95.83% of Wuhan Kingold’s shares have pledged their and delegated their voting power in Wuhan Kingold to Vogue-Show. Such share pledge is registered with the PRC Administration for Industry and Commerce.

The VIE agreements, which are described below, cover 95.83% of the equity interest in Wuhan Kingold covering 46 of Wuhan Kingold’s 47 shareholders and were created so that upon the closing of the reverse acquisition, as described below, we would be able to acquire control over Wuhan Kingold, as explained below. The balance of 4.17% of the equity interest in Wuhan Kingold is held by Beijing Shouchuang Investment Co. Ltd, a PRC State Owned Enterprise.

These contractual arrangements enable us to:

•   exercise effective control over our variable interest entity, Wuhan Kingold;

•   receive substantially all of the economic benefits from variable interest entity, Wuhan Kingold; and

•   have an exclusive option to purchase 95.83% of the equity interest in our variable interest entity, Wuhan Kingold, when and to the extent permitted by PRC law.

Through such arrangement, Wuhan Kingold has become Vogue-Show’s contractually controlled affiliate. In addition, Wuhan Kingold shareholders agreed to grant Vogue-Show a ten-year option to purchase a 95.83% equity interest in Wuhan Kingold at a price based on an appraisal provided by an asset evaluation institution which will be jointly appointed by Vogue-Show and the Wuhan Kingold shareholders. Concurrently, Wuhan Kingold agreed to grant Vogue-Show a ten-year option to purchase all of Wuhan Kingold’s assets at a price based on an appraisal provided by an asset evaluation institution which will be jointly appointed by Vogue-Show and Wuhan Kingold.

The VIE Agreements

Our relationship with Wuhan Kingold and its shareholders are governed by a series of contractual arrangements, which agreements provide as follows.

Exclusive Management Consulting and Technical Support Agreement.  On June 30, 2009, Vogue-Show entered into an Exclusive Management Consulting and Technical Support Agreement with Wuhan Kingold, which agreement provides that Vogue-Show will be the exclusive provider of management consulting services to Wuhan Kingold, and obligated Vogue-Show to provide services to fully manage and control all internal operations of Wuhan Kingold, in exchange for receiving 95.83% of Wuhan Kingold’s profits.

The term of this agreement will continue until it is either terminated by mutual agreement of the parties or until such time as Vogue-Show shall acquire 95.83% of the equity or assets of Wuhan Kingold.

Purchase Option Agreement.  On June 30, 2009, shareholders holding 95.83% of the equity interest in Wuhan Kingold entered into a Purchase Option Agreement with Vogue-Show, which provides that Vogue-Show will be entitled to acquire such Shareholders’ shares in Wuhan Kingold upon certain terms and conditions, if such a purchase is or becomes allowable under PRC laws and regulations.

If Wuhan Kingold or any of its respective shareholders breaches its respective contractual obligations, Vogue-Show, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including the right to foreclose on the pledged equity interests.

Reverse Acquisition and Private Placement

On September 29, 2009, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reverse Acquisition with Vogue-Show, a PRC wholly foreign owned enterprise, Dragon Lead, and the stockholders of Dragon Lead, or the Dragon Lead Stockholders. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, we agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Dragon Lead in exchange for the issuance of 33,104,234 newly issued shares of our common stock. The acquisition agreement closed on or about December 23, 2009. Following the closing, Dragon Lead became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

The purpose of the reverse acquisition was to acquire control over Wuhan Kingold. We did not acquire Wuhan Kingold directly through the issuance of stock to Wuhan Kingold’s stockholders because under PRC law it is uncertain whether a share exchange would be legal. We instead chose to acquire control of Wuhan Kingold through the acquisition of Vogue Show and the VIE arrangements previously described in this prospectus. Certain rules and regulations in the PRC restrict the ability of non-PRC companies that are controlled by PRC residents to acquire PRC companies. There is significant uncertainty as to whether these rules and regulations require transactions of the type contemplated by our VIE arrangements, or of the type contemplated by the Call Option described below, to be approved by the PRC Ministry of Commerce, the China Securities and Regulatory Commission, or other agencies. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties arising from these PRC rules and regulations, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC — Recent PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities may create regulatory uncertainties that could restrict or limit our ability to operate. Our failure to obtain the prior approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC for the listing and trading of our common stock could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, reputation and trading price of our common stock,” beginning on page 21.

On December 23, 2009, immediately prior to the closing of the reverse acquisition, we completed a private placement with 14 investors. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement entered into with the investors, we sold an aggregate of 5,120,483 newly issued shares of our common stock at $0.996 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.1 million. The investors in the private placement also received five-year warrants to purchase up to 1,024,096 shares of common stock at the price of $0.996 per share. After commissions and expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $4.55 million in the private placement. In addition, five-year warrants to purchase up to 1,536,145 shares of common stock at the price of $0.996 per share were issued to various consultants who assisted in the transaction.

All share and per share information for dates prior to August 10, 2010 concerning our common stock in the above discussion reflects a 1-for-2 reverse stock split.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As a result of the above transactions, we ceased being a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Act.

Also, on December 23, 2009, Fok Wing Lam Winnie (whose Mandarin name is Huo Yong Lin), the sole shareholder of Famous Grow and the majority shareholder of Dragon Lead prior to the closing of the reverse acquisition, entered into a call option agreement, as amended and restated, or call option, with Zhihong Jia and Bin Zhao to comply with PRC regulations that restrict PRC residents from owning offshore entities like us in direct exchange for their shares in the PRC operating company and as an inducement to encourage them to provide services to Wuhan Kingold and our company. The call option does not include a vesting schedule and continued employment is not a condition to the call option. Under the call option, as amended and restated, Fok Wing Lam Winnie granted to Zhihong Jia and Bin Zhao the right to acquire up to 100% of the shares of Famous Grow at an exercise price of $1.00, which is par value per share, or $0.001 per Famous Grow share, subject to any exercise notice at any time for a period of five years which was determined in an arm's length negotiation with the parties. While it is the case that our PRC counsel believes that this arrangement is lawful under PRC laws and regulations, there are, substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations, including regulations governing the validity and legality of such call options. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that PRC government authorities will not ultimately take a view contrary to the opinion of our PRC legal counsel. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties arising from these PRC rules and regulations, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC — Recent PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities may create regulatory uncertainties that could restrict or limit our ability to operate. Our failure to obtain the prior approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC for the listing and trading of our common stock could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, reputation and trading price of our common stock,” beginning on page 21.

Additionally, on December 23, 2009, immediately following the closing, Famous Grow Holdings Limited, a BVI limited liability company, or Famous Grow, Dragon Lead’s majority shareholder prior to the closing, together with Zhihong Jia, our chief executive officer and founder of Wuhan Kingold and Bin Zhao, our general manager, entered into a make good escrow agreement with the investors, pursuant to which, Famous Grow deposited a total of 1,895,609 of shares of common stock into an escrow account as “make good shares.” In the event that our after-PRC-tax net income for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, is less than 70% of RMB 65.0 million, RMB 100.0 million and RMB 150.0 million, respectively, as set forth in the make good escrow agreement, part or all of the escrowed make good shares will be transferred to private placement investors on pro rata basis. Pursuant to the Make Good Escrow Agreement, 631,870 shares out of 1,895,609 shares (or  1/3 of the shares per year) are no longer subject to the escrow and none of such shares have been acquired from Famous Grow. Our after-PRC-tax net income for the year ended December 31, 2009 exceeded 70% of RMB 65.0 million and therefore, no “make good shares” were transferred as of December 31, 2009.

DIRECTOR AND EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Objectives

We operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing industry. The key objectives of our executive compensation programs are to:

The compensation to executive officers only contained base salary for 2008, 2009 and 2010. Our compensation committee is considering establishing criteria and a broad-based plan for calculating and paying performance based bonuses to our executive officers and/or establising an equity incentive plan. Currently, we do not have any stock option plans for our directors, officers or employees, and there were no outstanding options held by any of our directors, executive officers or employees as of May 31, 2010.

Our Compensation Program

Our compensation program is designed to reward each individual named executive officer’s contribution to the advancement of our overall performance and execution of our goals, ideas and objectives. It is designed to reward and encourage exceptional performance at the individual level in the areas of organization, creativity and responsibility while supporting our core values and ambitions. This in turn aligns the interest of our executive officers with the interests of our shareholders, and thus with our interests.

Determining Executive Compensation

Our compensation committee reviews and approves the compensation program for executive officers annually after the close of each year. Reviewing the compensation program at such time allows the compensation committee to consider the overall performance of the past year and the financial and operating plans for the upcoming year in determining the compensation program for the upcoming year.

In general, our compensation program only contained base annual salary in 2008, 2009 and 2010 subject to the provisions of the employment agreements that we entered into.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A named executive officer’s base salary is determined by an assessment of his sustained performance against individual job responsibilities, including, where appropriate, the impact of his performance on our business results, current salary in relation to the salary range designated for the job, experience and mastery, and potential for advancement. Although we do not engage in benchmarking, the compensation committee may also consider compensation levels with comparable positions in the industry to evaluate the total compensation decisions that it makes for our officers.

Role of Executive Officers in Determining Executive Compensation

The compensation committee determines the compensation for our chief executive officer, which is based on various factors, such as level of responsibility and contributions to our performance. Our chief executive officer recommends the compensation for our executive officers (other than the compensation of the chief executive officer) to the compensation committee. The compensation committee reviews the recommendations made by the chief executive officer and determines the compensation of the chief executive officer and the other executive officers.

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with our other senior executive officers, as a result of our being a public company, as described below, which descriptions are qualified in their entirety be the employment agreement filed as exhibits. Our board of directors may adjust base salaries annually to reflect increases in the cost of living. An executive’s base salary may also be increased if the executive’s workload substantially increases as a result of our business expansion. In addition, an executive’s base salary may be correspondingly adjusted if the salaries of all of our other employees are adjusted.

Zhihong Jia.  We have entered into an employment agreement with Zhihong Jia, our chief executive officer for a term of three years. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Jia will receive annual compensation equal to $175,000.

In addition, we will pay for life insurance and medical insurance policies for the benefit of Mr. Jia, provided that the annual premium of all such insurance policies in any one year shall not be more than RMB 20,000 in the aggregate.

If Mr. Jia’s employment agreement terminates as a result of death, we will pay Mr. Jia’s beneficiaries or estate, as applicable, an amount equal to twenty-four months’ base salary plus the full amount of any compensation to which the executive was entitled as of the date of termination. If we terminate Mr. Jia’s employment based on the executive’s disability, we will pay him an amount equal to eighteen months’ base salary plus the full amount of any compensation to which the executive was entitled as of the date of termination.

We may terminate Mr. Jia’s employment agreement with cause (as defined in his employment agreement) at any time with three months written notice. If we dismiss Mr. Jia without cause (as defined in his employment agreement), or if he terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement), we will pay him the product of his monthly base salary and the number of years the executive was employed pursuant to his employment agreement plus twelve. If Mr. Jia terminates his employment other than for good reason, he will be entitled to a contribution bonus in an amount determined by us and approved by our board of directors. A contribution bonus shall not exceed the product of Mr. Jia’s monthly base salary and the number of years the executive was employed pursuant to his employment agreement plus ten. If Mr. Jia’s employment agreement expires in accordance with its term without earlier termination or extension, he will be eligible to receive an amount equal to twelve months’ base salary.

Director Compensation

We do not pay our directors in connection with attending individual board meetings, but we reimburse our directors for expenses incurred in connection with such meetings. In 2010, we paid Vincent F.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,500,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 500,000 shares of preferred stock. The following description of our capital stock is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our amended certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which have been filed previously with the SEC, and applicable provisions of Delaware law.

As of January 10, 2011, there were 42,343,073 shares of our common stock outstanding, which reflects a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of our common stock which became effective on August 10, 2010, held by approximately 95 shareholders of record.

Common Stock

Each shareholder of our common stock is entitled to a pro rata share of cash distributions made to shareholders, including dividend payments. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of our directors or any other matter. Therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of those directors can elect all of the directors. The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors from funds legally available therefore. Cash dividends are at the sole discretion of our board of directors. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of our liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having any preference in relation to our common stock. Holders of shares of our common stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.

Preferred Stock

No shares of preferred stock are issued or outstanding. Our board of directors is authorized to determine the number of series into which the preferred stock may be divided, to determine the designations, powers, preferences, voting and other rights of each series. No series of preferred stock have been designated by our board of directors.

Our board of directors may designate a series of preferred stock by filing a certificate of designation under Delaware law to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof without any further vote or action by the shareholders. Any shares of preferred stock so issued are likely to have priority over our common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights.

The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may enable our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests of our shareholders, our board of directors could cause shares of preferred stock to be issued without shareholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent shareholder or shareholder group. In this regard, our certificate of incorporation grants our board of directors broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance may also adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of these holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of us. The board of directors does not at present intend to seek shareholder approval prior to any issuance of currently authorized preferred stock, unless otherwise required by law.

Warrants

2008 Warrants

In 2008, we issued warrants to purchase up to 775,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.32 per share, which exercise price was increased to $1.196 per share in December 2009. The 2008 Warrants may be exercised at any time for a period of five years by cash payment of the exercise price or by cashless exercise.

2009 Private Placement Warrant

In 2009, as part of the Private Placement, we issued warrants to purchase up to 2,560,241 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.996 per share. The 2009 Warrants may be exercised at any time for a period of five years by cash payment of the exercise price or by cashless exercise.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation

Under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Delaware anti-takeover law”), certain “business combinations” are prohibited between a Delaware corporation, the stock of which is generally publicly traded or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders, and an “interested stockholder” of such corporation for a three-year period following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (i) the corporation has elected in its certificate of incorporation not to be governed by the Delaware anti-takeover law (the Company has not made such an election); (ii) the business combination was approved by the board of directors of the corporation before the other party to the business combination became an interested stockholder; (iii) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the commencement of the transaction (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers or held in employee benefit plans in which the employees do not have a confidential right to tender or vote stock held by the plan); or (iv) the business combination was approved by the board of directors of the corporation and ratified by 66 2/3% of the voting stock which the interested stockholder did not own. The three-year prohibition also does not apply to certain business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of certain extraordinary transactions involving the corporation and a person who had not been an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of a majority of the corporation’s directors. The term “business combination” is defined generally to include mergers or consolidations between a Delaware corporation and an interested stockholder, transactions with an interested stockholder involving the assets or stock of the corporation or its majority-owned subsidiaries, and transactions which increase an interested stockholder’s percentage ownership of stock. The term “interested stockholder” is defined generally as those stockholders who become beneficial owners of 15% or more of a Delaware corporation’s voting stock. These statutory provisions could delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors or a change in control of the Company. They could also discourage, impede, or prevent a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest, even if such event would be favorable to the interests of stockholders.

Our certificate of incorporation grants the board of directors the authority, without any further vote or action by stockholders, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, fix the number of shares constituting the series and establish the preferences, limitations and relative rights, including dividend rights, dividend rate, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption price or prices, redemption rights and liquidation preferences of the shares of the series. The existence of authorized but unissued preferred stock could reduce our attractiveness as a target for an unsolicited takeover bid, since we could, for example, issue preferred stock to parties who might oppose such a takeover bid, or issue shares with terms the potential acquirer may find unattractive. This may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, discourage bids for the Common Stock at a premium over the market price, and adversely affect the market price, and voting and other rights of holders of Common Stock. The Board of Directors does not at present intend to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of currently authorized preferred stock, unless otherwise required by law.

Our directors, executive officers and one of our affiliate stockholder, holding more than 42% of our outstanding common stock immediately prior to the completion of this offering, Famous Grow Holdings Limited, have entered into lock up agreements with the representative prior to the commencement of this offering pursuant to which each of these persons or entities, for a period of 360 days from the effective date of this offering for executive officers and one of our affiliate stockholder, and for a period of 90 days from the effective date of this offering for our independent directors, may not, without the prior written consent of the representative, (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our common stock, or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the common stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any shares of common stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Stabilization

In connection with this offering, the representative may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involve making bids for, purchasing and selling shares of common stock in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may include making short sales of the common stock, which involves the sale by the representative of a greater number of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing shares of common stock on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales may be “covered” shorts or may be “naked” shorts. The representative may close out any covered short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the representative is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. To the extent that the representative creates a naked short position, it will purchase shares in the open market to cover the position.

The representative has advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Act, it may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representatives of the representative purchase common stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the representatives can require the representative that sold those shares as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them.

These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the representative commences these activities, it may discontinue them at any time. The representative may carry out these transactions on the NASDAQ Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

In determining the public offering price, we and the representative expects to consider a number of factors including:

Neither we, nor the representative can assure investors that an active trading market will develop for our common stock, or that the shares will trade in the public market at or above the public offering price.

Persons into whose possession this prospectus comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.

In addition, the underwriters and their affiliates may provide from time to time in the future certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking and other services for us and such affiliates in the ordinary course of their business, for which they may receive customary fees and commissions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

From time to time, the underwriters and their affiliates may effect transactions for their own account or the account of customers, and hold on behalf of themselves or their customers, long or short positions in our debt or equity securities or loans, and may do so in the future.

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act.

Pursuant to the rules of FINRA (formerly the NASD), and in particular Rule 5110, the warrant (and underlying shares) issued to Rodman & Renshaw, LLC may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of this offering; provided, however, that the warrant (and underlying shares) may be transferred to officers or partners of Rodman & Renshaw, LLC and members of the underwriting syndicate as long as the warrants (and underlying shares) remain subject to the lockup.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers from liabilities incurred by them in connection with actions, suits or proceedings in which they are involved by reason of their acting as our directors and officers. As of the date of this prospectus, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers in substantially the same form as Exhibit 10.17 attached hereto.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Kingold Jewelry Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kingold Jewelry Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009. Kingold Jewelry Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kingold Jewelry Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
