increased levels of competition, and competitive uncertainties in our markets, including competition from companies in the gold jewelry industry in the PRC, some of which are larger than we are and have greater resources;

the impact of the seasonal nature of our business, adverse effect of rising energy, commodity and raw material prices, changes in market trends, purchasing habits of our consumers and changes in consumer preferences;

our ability to protect our intellectual property rights;

the risk of an adverse outcome in any material pending and future litigations;

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Operating results for the interim period ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2011.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Kingold Jewelry, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiaries, Dragon Lead Group Limited (“Dragon Lead”) and Wuhan Vogue-Show Jewelry Co., Inc. (“Wuhan Vogue-Show”), as well as Wuhan Kingold Jewelry Co., Inc. (“Wuhan Kingold”), our 95.83% contractually controlled affiliate. The non-controlling interests represent the minority stockholders' 4.17% proportionate share of the results of Wuhan Kingold. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of accounts receivable and inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, cost being calculated on the weighted average basis. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchases, costs of fixed and variable production overheads and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. We provide inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. We did not record a provision for obsolete inventories as of either June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized, and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less estimated residual value, over an asset’s estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives used in connection with the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

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

Fair value of financial instruments

We adopted the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

KINGOLD JEWELRY, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)

Level 1-Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2-Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other then quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect management’s assumptions based on the best available information.

The carrying value of accounts receivable, other current assets and prepaid expenses, other payables and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. We are of the opinion that we are not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Revenue recognition

Net sales are primarily composed of sales of products to wholesale and retail customers, as well as fees generated from Customized Production. In Customized Production, a customer supplies us with the raw materials and we create products per the their instructions, whereas in Branded Production we purchase gold directly once a customer has placed an order. We recognize revenues under the FASB Codification Topic 605 ("ASC Topic 605"). Pursuant to this guidance, revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement with a customer, (ii) the contracted for services have been performed, (iii) the fees to be paid under the agreement are either fixed or determinable and (iv) our collection of such fees is reasonably assured. These criteria, as related to our revenues, are considered to have been met as follows:

Sales of products

We recognize revenue on sales of products when the goods are delivered and title to the goods passes to the customer provided that: there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the sales price is fixed and determinable; and collectability is deemed probable.

Customized Production fees

We also provide Customized Production services to our customers based on fixed-price contracts. We recognize services-based revenue from such contracts when: (i) the contracted for services have been performed, (ii) the customer has approved the completion of the services, (iii) an invoice has been issued and (iv) collectability is deemed probable. The revenues from Customized Production services made up approximately 1.98% of the total revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to approximately 3.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Income taxes

We account for income taxes under the FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the condensed consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period included the enactment date.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-25, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." ASC 740-10-25 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for condensed consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on the recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures. The adoption of ASC 740-10-25 has not resulted in any material impact on our financial position or results.

We record interest and penalties as a general and administrative expense. The statute of limitations for our U.S. federal income tax returns and certain state income tax returns remain open for tax years 2007 and after. As of June 30, 2011, the tax year ended December 31, 2005 through December 31, 2010 for our PRC subsidiaries remain open for statutory examination by the PRC tax authorities.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)

Foreign currency translation

We, as well as our wholly owned subsidiary, Dragon Lead, maintain accounting records in the United States Dollars (“US$”), whereas Wuhan Vogue-Show and Wuhan Kingold maintain their accounting records in the currency of Renminbi (“RMB”), being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted.

Our principal country of operations is the PRC. The financial position and results of our operations are determined using RMB, the local currency, as the functional currency. The results of operations and the statement of cash flows denominated in foreign currency are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. The equity denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution. Due to the fact that cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”

The value of RMB against US$ and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect our financial condition in terms of US$ reporting. The following table outlines the currency exchange rates that were used in creating the condensed consolidated financial statements in this report:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2011		2010

Balance sheet items, except for share capital, additional paid in capital and retained earnings, as of year end	$	1=RMB 6.46343	$	1=RMB 6.60231

Amounts included in the statements of operations and cash flows for the year	$	1=RMB 6.5383	$	1=RMB 6.76816

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 3 — INVENTORIES, NET

Inventories as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consisted of the following:

NOTE 5 — INCOME TAXES

We are subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled.

We were incorporated in the United States and incurred net operating loss for income tax purpose for 2011 and 2010. We have loss carry forwards of approximately $2,931,375 for U.S. income tax purposes available for offset against future taxable U.S. income, expiring in 2031. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears uncertain due to our limited operating history income and continuing losses. Accordingly, a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded. The valuation allowance as of June 30, 2011 was $996,668. The net change in the valuation allowance was an increase of $221,113.

Dragon Lead was incorporated in the BVI, and under the current laws of the BVI, income earned is not subject to income tax.

Wuhan Vougue-Show and Wuhan Kingold were incorporated in the PRC and are subject to PRC income tax which is computed according to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC. The applicable tax rate was 25% for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

We do not have any deferred tax assets or liabilities from our foreign operations.

ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting and reporting of income taxes recognized in the financial statements and provides how tax benefits may be recognized. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized in subsequent periods. On January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of this topic. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had no unrecognized tax benefits.

We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties, if any, as income tax expense. We file income tax returns with the U.S. Federal Government, as well as the State of Delaware, and we file returns in the foreign jurisdictions of the BVI and the PRC. With few exceptions, we were subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years on or after 1995.

Our foreign subsidiaries also file income tax returns with both the National Tax Bureau (with our branches in Wuhan) and the Local Tax Bureaus (Hubei Provincial Tax Bureau and Wuhan Municipal Tax Bureau). We are subject to income tax examinations by these foreign tax authorities. We have passed all tax examinations by both National and Local tax authorities since our inception in 2002.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the financial statements and related notes included in this Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in those forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those contained in the discussion on forward-looking statements that follows this section. We assume no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

Our Business

We are engaged in the production and sale of 24 karat gold jewelry and ornaments in the PRC under the Kingold brand through a variable interest entity relationship with Wuhan Kingold Jewelry Company Limited, a PRC corporation. 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 and processing fees. Typically this mark-up ranges from 4-6% of the price of the base material.

We aim to become an increasingly more significant 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 nationwide well-known brand, Kingold.

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 163 members of the Shanghai Gold Exchange throughout China in 2010. Non-members who want to purchase gold must deal with members at a higher purchase price compared to that for members.

Three and Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Three and Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2010

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased to $252.1 million, an increase of $144.3 million, or 133.8%, from net sales of $107.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by increased Branded Production as well as by the increase in the price of gold. Of the $144.3 million increase in net sales, approximately $125.2 million was attributable to increased Branded Production and approximately $19.1 million to the increase in the price of gold. In Branded Production, where we purchase gold directly only once a customer has placed an order, and thus we include the cost of gold in our cost of goods sold. Contrastingly, in Customized Production, where customers supply us with the raw materials, the cost of gold is not included in the cost of goods sold.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased to $409.8 million, an increase of $241.5 million, or 143.4%, from net sales of $168.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by increased Branded Production as well as by the increase in the price of gold. Of the $241.5 million increase in net sales, approximately $211.2 million was attributable to increased Branded Production and approximately $30.3 million to the increase in the price of gold.

More specifically, the increase in net sales was mainly attributable to the fact that we raised approximately $20 million in net proceeds from the public offering that closed in mid-January and used the full amount to purchase gold used to increase Branded Production. The gold purchased with these funds was put into production at the end of January and was in full production as of the end of the second quarter. As a result, Branded Production increased substantially from 4.69 metric tons for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to 9.55 metric tons for the six months ended June 30, 2011. In our Branded Production category the cost of gold is passed through to our clients and recorded as a part of sales

In the second quarter of 2011, we opened two new showrooms / distribution centers - one in Shenzhen and another in Beijing - which we believe will help to increase our sales in two major jewelry markets in China for the remainder of 2011. Additionally, during the second quarter, we expanded our operations into the fast growing gold investment segment.

Along these lines, we signed agreements with two major Chinese national banks – the Bank of Communications and China Merchant Bank. This new business is still in the experimental stage and has not yet had a major impact on our revenue. Management has been quite encouraged by the initial results and favorable feedback from customers, and intends to continue our expansion in this segment throughout the remainder of 2011.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased to $239.6 million, an increase of $138.8 million, or 137.6%, from $100.8 million for the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to the increased price of gold and the concurrent increase in the amount of gold purchased for Branded Production to meet the higher sales volumes in the category. Of the $138.8 million increase, approximately $119.5 million was attributable to the increase in Branded Production, and approximately $19.3 million was due to the increased price of gold.

Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased to $388.4 million, an increase of $233.1 million, or 150%, from $155.3 million for the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to the increased price of gold and the concurrent increase in the amount of gold purchased for Branded Production to meet the higher sales volumes in the category. Of the $233.1 million increase, approximately $202.6 million was attributable to the increase in Branded Production, and approximately $30.5 million was due to the increased price of gold.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased to $12.46 million, an increase of $5.46 million, or 78%, from $7.0 million for the same period in 2010. Accordingly, gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 4.9%, compared to 6.5% for the same period in 2010.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased to $21.42 million, an increase of $8.41 million, or 64.6%, from $13.0 million for the same period in 2010. Accordingly, gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 5.2%, compared to 7.7% for the same period in 2010.

The decrease in gross profit margins was primarily due to the change in product mix. Branded Production results in far lower gross margins as compared to Customized Production. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, 56.7% of gold processed was used in Branded Production as opposed to 51.9% for the same period in 2010. The shift resulted primarily from us putting the additional $20 million of capital we raised from the public offering into production.

We expect gross margins to improve over the remainder of 2011 as a higher percentage of sales for the balance of the year are expected to be derived from higher margin products such as MGold and investment related gold products.

The product mix for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 is as follows:

Expenses

Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $0.68 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 12%, from $0.77 million for the same period in 2010.

Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $2 million, an increase of $0.8 million, or 67.9%, from $1.2 million for the same period in 2010. The increase was due to the fact that, in the first three months of 2011, we incurred numerous one time expenses related to our public offering, such as listing fees, advisory fees and related insurance costs.

Interest expenses were $0.04 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $0.08 million or 69.3%, from $0.12 million for same period in 2010. The decrease in interest expense was primarily a result of a decrease in the average loan balance outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2011. As of May 17, 2011, our short term loans from Pudong Development Bank became due and were paid off in their entirety. While Pudong Development Bank has offered to renew these loans beginning in August 2011, given the increase in interest rates throughout the PRC, the loans, if management chooses to renew, would come at a higher interest rate.

Interest expenses were $0.12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $0.11 million or 48.8%, from $0.23 million for same period in 2010. The decrease in interest expense was primarily a result of a decrease in the average loan balance outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as we paid off loans from Pudong Development Bank during the period.

Provision for income tax expense was approximately $2.97 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $1.38 million, or 86.7%, from approximately $1.59 million for the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to our increase in gross profit.

Provision for income tax expense was approximately $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $2.05 million, or 69.5%, from approximately $2.95 million for the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to our increase in gross profit.

Net Income

Net income attributable to common stockholders increased to $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $4.3 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of $4.1 million, or 95.4% as result of the matters described above.

Net income attributable to common stockholders increased to $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $8.3 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of $5.4 million, or 66% as result of the matters described above.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $18.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.8 million for the same period in 2010. This decrease was primarily because we purchased a significant amount of gold during the six month period ended June 30, 2011 with the capital that we raised in the January offering in order to meet an increase in demand for our products.

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 and accrued expenses, purchases of gold and income taxes. Going 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 expand. Although we expect 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 provided by (used in) investing activities.

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $61,185 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $16,198 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The slight increase in net cash used in investing activities was as a result of a small 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 due to the small increase in the amount of equipment that we purchased. We do not expect that cash used in investing activities will increase significantly in the near future.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The change was the result of the proceeds raised in our public offering of 7.2 million shares of common stock and the repayment of our loan from Pudong Development Bank.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off-balance sheet transactions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2011, we had $5.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. We have financed our operations with cash flow generated from operations, through borrowing of short-term bank loans, generally with a term of one year as well as through a public offering.

As of June 30, 2011, we paid off a short-term loan with a principal amount of $6.1 million from Pudong Development Bank.

Our business is dependent upon consumer demand for gold products which may be affected by economic changes in China. In response to the recent global economic downturn, the Chinese government has taken preemptive actions to stimulate the PRC economy, implementing a series of policies aimed at boosting domestic consumer spending. Management believes that these government policies have increased the demand for 24K gold products. Accordingly, since the end of 2007, we have shifted our production from other jewelry manufacturing to focus exclusively on 24K gold jewelry design and manufacturing to meet this demand. We expect this increased demand to continue over the next 12 months, and our long term strategy is now focused on the design, production and sales of 24K gold jewelry and gold investment products for major banks in China.

We believe that our current cash and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including working capital, for the next 12 months. We may, however, require additional cash due to changing business conditions or other 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.

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.

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, our wholly owned subsidiaries, Dragon Lead and Wuhan Vogue-Show and Wuhan Kingold, our 95.83% contractually controlled affiliate. The non-controlling 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. 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 when customer places an order and when the customer has 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 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
Buildings	30 years
Plant and machinery	15 years
Motor vehicles	10 years
Office furniture and electronic equipment	5-10 years

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.

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.

We did not recognize any impairment loss in 2009, 2010 or the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. 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 this 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 Report, none of these assumptions have proven to be incorrect.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Given that substantially all of our revenues are generated in Chinese RMB, yet 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 People’s Bank of China, or 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. Over the past three years, RMB has appreciated 9.5% against the USD (from 1 USD = 7.2946 RMB on January 1st, 2008 to 1 USD = 6.4634 RMB on June 30, 2011). 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.

Along these lines, 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.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2011, following the repayment of our loan from Pudong Development Banks, we did not have any short term borrowings. Our interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 was $119,308, and for the three month period ended June 30, 2011, was $35,660.

We currently have no interest rate hedge positions in place to reduce our exposure to interest rates.

Commodity Price Risk

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, although we may do so in the future. 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. Furthermore, the value of our inventory may be affected by commodity prices. We record the value of our inventory using the weighted average method. 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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2010, during our review of our financial statements and results for the 2010 fiscal year, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, identified an internal control matter that rose to the level of a material weakness. Consequently, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded at such time that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at December 31, 2010. As a result of that assessment, we identified the following internal control over financial reporting matter that rose to the level of a material weakness:

We did not maintain effective controls over the identification, recording, independent review and oversight of non routine transactions and accounting estimates, and the evaluation of the application of generally accepted accounting principles relating to complex accounting matters.

Despite having taken numerous steps aimed at remediation of this material weakness during the first six months of 2011, as more thoroughly described below in the section titled “Remediation Plan,” based on the evaluation of our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we believe that the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting has not yet been fully remedied. Accordingly, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) were not effective as of June 30, 2011.

Remediation Plan

In an effort to remediate the material weakness described above, and to enhance our internal control over financial reporting, during the first two quarters of 2011, we continued to implement the remediation initiatives outlined in the section titled “Remediation Plan” in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2010. More specifically, we hired an external consultant to provide, on a regular basis, independent review and oversight of non routine transactions and accounting estimates, and the evaluation of the application of generally accepted accounting principles relating to complex accounting matters on a regular basis. Going forward, we plan to continue to devote significant resources to remediating and improving our internal controls, including hiring additional accounting and internal control consultants, internal audit and finance staff, upgrading our systems, and implementing more rigorous financial and management controls related to financial reporting, journal entry approval, supporting documentation and account reconciliation.

Management believes that the measures that we implemented during the six months ended June 30, 2011 to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, have had a positive effect on our internal control over financial reporting. Furthermore, management anticipates that these measures and other ongoing enhancements will continue to have a positive impact on our internal control over financial reporting in future periods. Notwithstanding such efforts, the material weakness described above will not be fully remediated until the new controls operate for a sufficient period of time. Management believes that once fully implemented, these new control processes and procedures will remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control

Other than the changes that were implemented during the six months ended June 30, 2011, discussed above in the section titled “Remediation Plan,” there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting in the period ended June 30, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. The discussion above under the section titled “Remediation Plan” includes descriptions of the material planned changes to our internal control over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to materially affect our company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any litigation the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from risk factors as previously disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
