KINGOLD JEWELRY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements of Kingold Jewelry, Inc. (“Kingold” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP 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, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s
Discussion and Analysis, and the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on March 29, 2016.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
Wuhan Kingold Jewelry Co., Inc. (“Wuhan
Kingold”) should be considered as a 100% contractually controlled affiliate. Kingold is empowered, through its wholly owned
subsidiaries Dragon Lead Group Limited (“Dragon Lead”) and Wuhan Vogue-Show Jewelry Co., Inc. (“Wuhan Vogue-Show”),
with the ability to control and substantially influence Wuhan Kingold’s daily operations and financial affairs, appoint its
senior executives and approve all matters requiring shareholders’ approval. Kingold is also obligated to absorb a majority
of expected losses of Wuhan Kingold, which enables Kingold to receive a majority of expected residual returns from Wuhan Kingold,
and because Kingold has the power to direct the activities of Wuhan Kingold that most significantly impact Wuhan Kingold’s
economic performance, Kingold, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, accounts for Wuhan Kingold as its Variable Interest Entity
under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-05-8A. Accordingly, Kingold consolidates Wuhan Kingold’s
operating results, assets and liabilities. The Company makes an ongoing assessment to determine whether Wuhan Kingold is still
a Variable Interest Entity.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include the financial statements of Kingold, Dragon Lead, Wuhan Vogue-Show, Wuhan Kingold and its 55% controlled subsidiaries Wuhan
Kingold Internet Co., Ltd. (“Kingold Internet”) and Yuhuang Jewelry Design Co., Ltd (“Yuhuang”). All significant
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Kingold, Dragon Lead, Wuhan Vogue-Show, Wuhan Kingold, Kingold Internet
and Yuhuang are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company.”
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial
statements in conformity with U.S. 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 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, inventory valuation, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax asset and liability and share based
compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Restricted Cash
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015,
the Company had restricted cash of $46,107,680 and $26,649,687, respectively. Approximately $2.7 million was related to the bank
loan with various financial institutions. Approximately $43.4 million was related to the gold lease deposits with Shanghai Pudong
Development Bank (“SPD Bank”), China Construction Bank (“CCB”) Commerce Bank of China (“ICBC”) and
CITIC Bank – see Note 16 – Gold Lease Transactions.
Accounts Receivable
The Company generally receives cash payment upon delivery of a product,
but may extend unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. The Company mitigates the associated risks
by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and recorded
based on management’s assessment of the credit history of the customers and current relationships with them. At June 30,
2016 and December 31, 2015, there was no allowance recorded as the Company considers all of the accounts receivable fully collectible.
KINGOLD JEWELRY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost
or market value, and cost is calculated on the weighted average basis. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was no
lower of cost or market adjustment because the carrying value of the Company’s inventories was lower than the current and
expected market price of gold. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchases, costs of fixed and variable production
overhead and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present condition.
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
|
Building improvements
|
Over lease term
|
Construction-in-Progress
Construction in progress represents property and buildings under
construction and consists of construction expenditures, equipment procurement, and other direct costs attributable to the construction.
Construction in progress is not depreciated. Upon completion and when ready for intended use, construction in progress is reclassified
to the appropriate category within property, plant and equipment or will be classified as an asset held for sale.
Land Use Right
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 life is 50 years, and is determined in connection with the term of the land use right.
Long-Lived Assets
Certain assets such as property, plant and
equipment and construction in progress, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets that are held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of
an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount
exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no events or changes in circumstances that necessitated a review of impairment
of long-lived assets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Property Held for Sale
Property held for sale relates to the Company’s
commitment to sell the Shanghai Creative Industry Park, or Kingold Jewelry Cultural Industry Park (the “Jewelry Park”),
to third party. On June 27, 2016, the Company entered into a transfer contract with third party, Wuhan Lianfuda Investment Management
Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan Lianfuda”), to sell all of its interest in the Jewelry Park to Wuhan Lianfuda (the “Transfer
Transaction;” see Note 5). The Transfer Transaction has not been consummated as of June 30, 2016 therefore Jewelry Park real
estate property was treated as property held for sale.
KINGOLD JEWELRY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the provisions of Accounting
Standards Codification (“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:
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 than 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 all current assets and liabilities approximate
their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company determined that the carrying value of the
long term loans approximated their fair value by comparing the stated loan interest rate to the rate charged by similar financial
institutions.
Revenue Recognition
Net sales (gross sales less valued added tax)
are primarily composed of sales of branded products to wholesale and retail customers, as well as fees generated from customized
production. In customized production, a customer supplies the Company with the raw materials and the Company creates products per
that customer’s instructions, whereas in branded production the Company generally purchases gold directly and manufactures
and markets the products on its own. The Company recognizes revenues under ASC 605 as follows:
Sales of branded products
The Company recognizes revenue on sales
of branded products when the goods are delivered and title to the goods passes to the customer provided that: (i) there are no
uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; (ii) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and (iii) the sales price is fixed
and determinable; and collectability is deemed probable.
Customized production fees
The Company recognizes services-based revenue
(the processing fee) from such contracts for customized production when: (i) the contracted services have been performed and (ii)
collectability is deemed probable.
Internet sales
The Company also engages in promoting the online
sales of jewelry products through cooperation with Tmall.com, a large business-to-consumer online retail platform owned by Alibaba
Group. Consistent with the criteria of ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenues of internet sales when the
following four revenue recognition criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred,
(iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
In accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition,
the Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of product sales and related costs or the net amount
earned as commissions. When the Company is primarily obligated in a transaction, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in
establishing prices and selecting suppliers, or has several but not all of these indicators, revenues should be recorded on a gross
basis. When the Company is not the primary obligor, doesn’t bear the inventory risk and doesn’t have the ability to
establish the price, revenues are recorded on a net basis.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the 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. The effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in net income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances
are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The provisions of ASC 740-10-25, “Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” prescribe a more-likely-than-not threshold for 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, and related disclosures. The Company does not believe that there was any uncertain tax position
at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
To the extent applicable, the Company records
interest and penalties as a general and administrative expense. The statute of limitations for the Company’s U.S. federal
income tax returns and certain state income tax returns remains open for tax years 2010 and after. As of June 30, 2016, the tax
years ended December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2015 for the Company’s PRC subsidiaries remain open for statutory examination
by PRC tax authorities.
Foreign Currency Translation
Kingold, as well as its wholly owned
subsidiary, Dragon Lead, maintain accounting records in United States Dollars (“US$”), whereas Wuhan Vogue-Show
and Wuhan Kingold maintain their accounting records in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the primary currency of the
economic environment in which their operations are conducted. The Company’s principal country of operations is the PRC.
The financial position and results of its 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 and stock issuance.
Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported
on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of
stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (deficit)”.
KINGOLD JEWELRY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The value of RMB against US$ and other currencies
may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC’s political and economic conditions. Any significant
revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of US$ reporting. The following table

Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of two components,
net income and other comprehensive income (loss). The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the
financial statements expressed in RMB to US$ is reported in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of income
and comprehensive income.
Earnings per Share
Basic EPS is measured as net income divided
by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive
effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (i.e., options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning
of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that
increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
Share or Stock-Based compensation
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718,
“Compensation — Stock Compensation,” which establishes the accounting for employee stock-based awards. For employee
stock-based awards, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized
as expense with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. For the non-employee
stock-based awards, the fair value of the awards to non-employees are measured every reporting period based on the value of the
Company’s common stock.
Debts Payable
Debt issuance costs related to a recognized
debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, consistent
with debt discounts.
KINGOLD JEWELRY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Risks and Uncertainties
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. The Company potentially has exposure to the fluctuation in gold commodity prices as part of its normal operations. In the
past, the Company has not hedged its 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 the Company’s production costs
beyond the amount that it is able to pass on to its customers, which would adversely affect the Company’s sales and profitability.
A significant disruption in the Company’s supply of gold, or other commodities, could decrease its production and shipping
levels, materially increase its operating costs, and materially and adversely affect its 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 the Company purchases its
raw materials, may adversely affect its ability to maintain production of its products and sustain profitability. Although the
Company generally attempts to pass on increased commodity prices to its customers, there may be circumstances in which it is not
able to do so. In addition, if the Company were to experience a significant or prolonged shortage of gold, it would be unable to
meet its production schedules and to ship products to its customers in a timely manner, which would adversely affect its sales,
margins and customer relations.
Furthermore, the value of the Company’s
inventory may be affected by commodity prices. The Company records the value of its inventory using the lower of cost or market
value, cost calculated on 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 the Company’s inventory, which may require it to take a charge for the decrease in
the value of its inventory.
The Company’s operations are
located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be
influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically
associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the
political, economic and legal environment, and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely
affected by changes in the political, regulatory and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies or
interpretations with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad,
and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. In addition, the Company only controls Wuhan Kingold through a series
of agreements. Although the Company believes the contractual relationships through which it controls Wuhan Kingold comply
with current licensing, registration and regulatory requirements of the PRC, it 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
the Company’s structure or operating arrangements do not comply with applicable law, it could revoke
the Company’s business and operating licenses, require it to discontinue or restrict its operations, restrict its right
to collect revenues, require it to restructure its operations, impose additional conditions or requirements with which the
Company may not be able to comply, impose restrictions on its business operations or on its customers, or take other
regulatory or enforcement actions against the Company that could be harmful to its business. If such agreements were
cancelled, modified or otherwise not complied with, the Company would not be able to retain control of Wuhan Kingold and the
impact could be material to the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Although the Company has not experienced
losses from these situations and believes that it is in compliance with existing laws and regulations, including the
organization and structure disclosed in Note 1, this may not be indicative of future results.
Reclassification
“Comprehensive income”
in 2015 statements of income and comprehensive income has been changed to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassification
has no effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the FASB has issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and
Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The new guidance is intended to improve the recognition and
measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance makes targeted improvements to existing U.S. GAAP by: (1) requiring
equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation
of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Requiring public business
entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (2)
Requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial
asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements;
(3) Eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to
estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance
sheet; and (4) Requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the
total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred
to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with
the fair value option for financial instruments. The new guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the
effect, if any, that this update will have on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – continued
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases
(Topic 842), which supersedes the existing guidance for lease accounting, Leases (Topic 840). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees
to recognize leases on their balance sheets, and leaves lessor accounting largely unchanged. The amendments in this ASU are effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted
for all entities. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the
date of initial application, with an option to elect to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of this new standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards
Update No. 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. The amendments apply
to all entities that are issuers of or investors in debt instruments (or hybrid financial instruments that are determined to have
a debt host) with embedded call (put) options. The amendments clarify what steps are required when assessing whether the economic
characteristics and risks of call (put) options are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of their
debt hosts, which is one of the criteria for bifurcating an embedded derivative. Consequently, when a call (put) option is contingently
exercisable, an entity does not have to assess whether the event that triggers the ability to exercise a call (put) option is related
to interest rates or credit risks. Public business entities must apply the new requirements for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. All other entities must apply the new requirements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. All entities have the option
of adopting the new requirements early, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the new requirements
in an interim period, it must reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.
The Company does not expect any material impact of this new standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2016, the FASB released ASU 2016-09,
Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes multiple
provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. While aimed at reducing the cost and
complexity of the accounting for share-based payments, the amendments are expected to significantly impact net income, EPS, and
the statement of cash flows. Implementation and administration may present challenges for companies with significant share-based
payment activities. The ASU is effective for public companies in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim
periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements.
In April 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying
Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: (a) identifying performance
obligations; and (b) the licensing implementation guidance. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance
in Topic 606. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition
requirements in Topic 606. Public entities should apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2017, including interim reporting periods therein (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a calendar year entity). Early application for public
entities is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods
within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-11
Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815); Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards
Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting, which is rescinding certain SEC
Staff Observer comments that are codified in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and
Gas, effective upon adoption of Topic 606. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.
In May 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12—Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which is intended to not change
the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606, but rather affect only the narrow aspects of Topic 606 by reducing the potential
for diversity in practice at initial application and by reducing the cost and complexity of applying Topic 606 both at transition
and on an ongoing basis. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 5 – PROPERTY HELD FOR SALE, JEWELRY PARK
On October 23, 2013, the Company, through
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wuhan Kingold, entered into an acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with
third-parties Wuhan Wansheng House Purchasing Limited (“Wuhan Wansheng”) and Wuhan Huayuan Science and Technology
Development Limited Company (“Wuhan Huayuan”). The Agreement provides for the build out of the planned “Shanghai
Creative Industry Park,” which is proposed to be renamed to “Kingold Jewelry Cultural Industry Park” (the “Jewelry
Park”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Wuhan Kingold acquired the land use rights for a parcel of land (the “Land”)
in Wuhan for a total of 66,667 square meters (approximately 717,598 square feet, or 16.5 acres) (the “Land Use Right”),
which had been approved for real estate development use. Wuhan Kingold committed to provide a total sum of RMB 1.0 billion (approximately
$151 million) for the acquisition of this Land Use Right and to finance the entire development and construction of a total of
192,149 square meters (approximately 2,068,000 square feet) of commercial properties, which were proposed to include a commercial
wholesale center for various jewelry manufacturers, two commercial office buildings, a commercial residence of condominiums as
well as a hotel.
On June 27, 2016, Wuhan Kingold entered
into a transfer contract with Wuhan Lianfuda Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan Lianfuda”), an unrelated party,
to sell all of its interest in the Jewelry Park to Wuhan Lianfuda (“Transfer Transaction”). Pursuant to the transfer
contract, Wuhan Lianfuda is obligated to pay Wuhan Kingold RMB 1.14 billion (approximately US $171.6 million) (“Selling Price”).
This amount includes (1) RMB 640 million (approximately US $96.3 million) for the share acquisition fees and the construction fees
that Wuhan Kingold has paid to Wuhan Wansheng; and (2) transfer fees of RMB 500 million (approximately US $75.3 million). In addition,
Wuhan Kingold transfers and Wuhan Lianfuda receives, all the rights and obligations in the Transfer Transaction Agreement, including
60% stock rights of Wuhan Huayuan. Wuhan Lianfuda will undertake Wuhan Kingold’s remaining payment obligation of RMB 360
million (approximately US $54.2 million) stipulated in the Acquisition Agreement.
In the Transfer Transaction, deposit payables
consist of the following two components: (1) amounts received from customers relating to the pre-sale of the residential or commercial
units in the Jewelry Park. The Company receives these funds and recognizes them as a liability until the revenue can be recognized;
(2) amounts received from third party in connection with the Transfer Transaction.
As of June 30, 2016, the carrying value
of Jewelry Park was approximately $162.6 million (RMB 1.08 billion), included the following components (1) Land use right of approximately
$9.1 million (RMB 60.4 million), which represents the total cost of the Land Use Right and (2) the construction progress of approximately
$153.5 million (RMB 1 billion), consisting of the Company’s cash payment of approximately $87.3 million (RMB 579.6 million)
towards the construction of Jewelry Park project, capitalized interest of approximately $12 million (RMB 80 million) and construction
payable of approximately $54.2 million (RMB 360.0 million) which has been accrued based on the billing request by the construction
company as of June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the construction payable of approximately $54.2 million
and $23.9 million has been accrued based on the billing request of the construction company Wuhan Wansheng, respectively.
The Transfer Transaction has not been consummated
as of June 30, 2016, because the project was still in the process of final inspection, acceptance and filing for the record, and
the ownership title has not been transferred to Wuhan Lianfuda as of June 30, 2016. As of the date of this Report, the Company
is unable to predict the actual timing of the completion of the Jewelry Park transfer because the inspection report and related
government filings have not yet been completed.
Based on the total budget of approximately
$151 million (RMB 1.0 billion) on the Jewelry Park, Wuhan Kingold was still obligated to pay the remaining approximately $54.2
million (RMB 360 million) to Wuhan Wansheng as of June 30, 2016 after deducting all the progress payments made by Wuhan Kingold.
In connection with the Transfer Transaction, Wuhan Lianfuda will undertake Wuhan Kingold’s remaining payment obligation of
approximately $54.2 million (RMB 360 million), when the Transfer Transaction is consummated in the near future.

repaid on March 1, 2016.
b) Loan payable to Bank of Hubei, Wuhan
Jiang’an Branch with an aggregate amount of approximately $3.1 million (RMB 20 million) originated on November 12, 2015 with
annual interest rate of 6.7%. The loan was fully repaid by June 30, 2016.
c) Loan payable to Minsheng Trust, with
an aggregate amount of approximately $45.2 million (RMB 300 million) originated on September 17, 2015, with a maturity date of
September 25, 2016. The annual interest rate was 12.5%. The loan is to be used for the Company’s working capital. Wuhan Kingold
pledged 1,877,490 grams of gold with carrying value of approximately $62.9 million (RMB 417.6 million) as of June 30, 2016 to secure
this loan. The Company was also required to pledge approximately $0.5 million (RMB 3 million) restricted cash with Minsheng Trust
as collateral. In addition, the Company’s CEO, Mr. Zhihong Jia and his wife, Ms. Lili Huang, jointly signed a guarantee agreement
with the Minsheng Trust, to provide a guarantee for the loan.
d) The current portion of loans payable
to Yantai Huangshan Road Branch of Evergrowing Bank (see note (i) below)).
e) On April 26, 2016, the Company entered
into a trust loan agreement and an amendment to the trust loan agreement with the National Trust Ltd. (“National Trust”)
to borrow a maximum of approximately $75.3 million (RMB 500 million) as working capital loan. The loan is comprised of two installments,
with the first installment of approximately $15.1 million (RMB 100 million) and the second installment of approximately $60.2 million
(RMB 400 million). Each installment has a one-year term starting from the installment release date. For each installment, the Company
is required to make the first interest payment equal to 4.1% of the principle received, then the rest of interest payments are
calculated based on a fixed interest rate of 8% and due on semi-annual basis. The Company is required to pledge 2,600 kilogram
of Au9995 gold with carrying value of approximately $87.0 million (RMB 578.3 million) as collateral to secure this loan. The loan
is jointly guaranteed by Mr. Zhihong Jia, the CEO and Chairman of the Company, and Wuhan Vogue-Show. The Company received full
proceeds in May 2016. The Company also made a restricted deposit of approximately $0.8 million (RMB 5 million) to secure these
loans. The deposit will be refunded when the loan is repaid upon maturity.
f) On April 28, 2016, Wuhan Kingold
and Shanghai AJ Trust Co., Ltd. (“AJ Trust”) entered into a gold income right transfer and repurchase agreement. According
to the agreement, AJ Trust acquired the income rights from Wuhan Kingold for Wuhan Kingold’s Au9999 gold worth at least RMB
412.5 million based on the closing price of gold on the most recent trading day at the Shanghai Gold Exchange (the “Gold
Income Right”). AJ Turst’s acquisition price for the Gold Income Right was approximately $45.2 million (RMB 300 million)
(the “Acquisition Price”). Wuhan Kingold is required to repurchase the Gold Income Right back from AJ Trust with installments
and the last installment shall be within the 24 months after establishment of the trust plan. The repurchase price is equal to
the Acquisition Price with annual return of 10% for the period from the agreement date and the last repayment date. The repurchase
obligation may be accelerated under certain conditions, including upon breach of representations or warranties, certain cross-defaults,
upon the occurrence of certain material events affecting the financial viability of Wuhan Kingold, and other customary conditions.
Wuhan Kingold pledged the related Au9999 gold under the Gold Income Right to AJ Trust. The agreement is also personally guaranteed
by Mr. Zhihong Jia, our CEO and Chairman. As of June 30, 2016, the carrying value of the pledged gold was approximately $49.1 million
(RMB 325.9 million). The Company also made a restricted deposit of $0.5 million (RMB 3 million) to secure these loans. The deposit
will be refunded when the loan is repaid upon maturity. Management believe the substance of this agreement is a debt arrangement
with AJ Trust, therefore AJ Trust’s acquisition price was recorded as loan payable. Since Wuhan Kingold has a right to repurchase
the Gold Income Right in 12 months, the loan is treated as a short term loan.
Interest expense for all of the short-term loans mentioned above amounted approximately to $5.1 million and $6.7 million for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Short term loan interest expense for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2015 was $84,616 and $382,153, respectively.

NOTE 7 – DEBTS PAYABLE
On February 9, 2015, Wuhan Kingold received
a Notice of Acceptance of Registration (the “Acceptance”) from the PRC’s National Association of Financial Market
Institutional Investors (the “NAFMII”), registering the issuance of up to RMB 750 million (approximately US$112.9 million)
of debt financing instruments by Wuhan Kingold pursuant to a Non-Public Oriented Debt Financing Instruments Private Placement Agreement,
by and among Wuhan Kingold, SPD Bank and the other institutional investors named therein (together with SPD Bank, the “Investors”),
dated July 21, 2014 (the “Private Placement Agreement”). Such Private Placement Agreement became valid upon the Acceptance.
In connection with the Private Placement Agreement, Wuhan Kingold and SPD Bank entered into an Underwriting Agreement dated August
12, 2014, appointing SPD Bank as the lead underwriter and bookkeeping manager for the issuance of the debt securities. The debt
financing program is intended to operate similar to a commercial paper program. Under the program, Wuhan Kingold may issue the
debt securities at any time within two years from the date of the Acceptance, with the initial issuance completed within six months
from the date of the Acceptance. Wuhan Kingold is required to report any issuance to the NAFMII. The Private Placement Agreement
provides that the Investors are entitled to, but are not required to, participate in any issuance, and prohibits using the proceeds
from any issuance of debt securities for real estate and equity acquisition transactions.
On March 26, 2015, Wuhan Kingold completed
the issuance of the first phase of debt financing instruments with the total amount of approximately $62 million (RMB 400 million)
under the Private Placement Agreement. The debt has a one-year term with the annual interest rate of 7%. The debt was secured
by certain gold or gold products held by Wuhan Kingold and approximately $5.3 million (RMB 35 million) security deposit. Management
determined the debt was for the purpose of financing the Jewelry Park project (see Note 5). In connection with the foregoing,
Wuhan Kingold and SPD Bank have entered into a Credit Agent Agreement (the “Credit Agent Agreement”), pursuant to
which SPD Bank serves as the agent of the holders of the debt securities. Zhihong Jia, Chairman and CEO of the Company, has executed
a guaranty, to guarantee Wuhan Kingold’s obligations under the Credit Agent Agreement. The interest expense incurred on
the debt financing instruments amounted to approximately $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 and was capitalized
into construction in progress of Jewelry Park project. The RMB 400 million debts payable have been fully repaid to SPD Bank upon
maturity on March 24, 2016.
A one-time financing cost of approximately
$0.6 million (RMB 4 million) related to the issuance has been offset against the debts payable carrying amount and is being amortized
on a quarterly basis. For the year ended December 31, 2015, amortization of the deferred financing costs was $490,870. The remaining
deferred financing cost of $144,134 was fully amortized in the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Pursuant to the Private
Placement Agreement dated on August 12, 2014, the RMB 750 million debt financing instruments can be issued within two years.
The Company originally planned to request the second phase of issuance of approximately $52.7 million (RMB 350 million)
before the first phase debt expiration date in March 2016 and the proceeds were planned to pay back the first phase debt.
However, because the Company obtained alternative financing through several bank borrowings, management does not expect the
second phase of debt issuance will be materialized in the near future.
NOTE 8 – DEPOSIT PAYABLES -
JEWELRY PARK
As of December 31, 2015, the Company received

from Wuhan Lianfuda approximately $90.7 million (RMB 602.8 million) (see Note 5) and included in Deposit payable, while the Company

The Company is subject to income taxes on an
entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled.
Kingold is incorporated in the United States
and has incurred net operating loss for income tax purposes through 2015 resulting in loss carry forwards of approximately $16.3
million available for offsetting against future taxable U.S. income, expiring in 2035. Management believes that the realization
of the benefits from these losses is uncertain due to its history of continuing losses in the United States. 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was approximately $5.5 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The net increase in the
valuation allowance for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $180,290 and $268,840, respectively.

NOTE 11 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
For three and six months ended June 30,
2016 and 2015, the basic average shares outstanding and diluted average shares outstanding were the same because the effect
of potential shares of common stock was anti-dilutive since the exercise prices for the warrant and options were greater than
the average market price for the related periods. As a result, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, total of
309,136 and 6,356 unexercised warrants and options are dilutive, respectively, and were included in the computation of
diluted EPS. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, no unexercised warrants and options were dilutive.

three months starting from grant date for the one year service period from April 1, 2012. The fair value of the options
was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model using the following assumptions: volatility of 124.50%, risk free
interest rate of 2.23%, and expected term of 10 years. The fair value of the options was $170,967. These options have fully vested
by December 31, 2013.
On July 16, 2013, the Company granted 90,000
options with an exercise price of $1.18 to its non-employee directors, which options expire ten years from the grant date under

on the date three months after the Initial Vesting Date and on such date every third month thereafter, through the fourth
anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of the options was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model using
the following assumptions: volatility of 118.01%, risk free interest rate of 2.55%, and expected term of 6.25 years. The fair value
of the options was $92,458. In accordance with the vesting periods, $5,779 and $11,558 were recorded as part of operating expense-stock
compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The Company recorded $5,779 and $11,558 as part of

value of the options was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model under the following assumptions: volatility of
115.20%, risk free interest rate of 1.96%, and expected term of 6.25 years. The aggregate fair value of the options was $85,822.
In accordance with the vesting periods, $5,363 and $10,727 were recorded as part of operating expense-stock compensation for the
90,000 options above for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The Company recorded $5,364 and $7,152 as

On August 12, 2015,
the Company signed a consulting agreement to engage Bespoke Independent Partners (“BIP”), a fully owned subsidiary
of FPIA Partners LLC to operate as a strategic advisor to Kingold in matters relating to investor relations, capital markets and
shareholder value creation strategy. As the part of the agreement with BIP, an aggregate of 900,000 shares of warrants with exercise
price ranging from $1.20 to $1.80 will be directly issued at no cost to BIP if certain stock performance targets are met within
a three-year period. As of December 31, 2015, no warrants were issued to BIP because the performance target has not been met.
On March 29, 2016,
pursuant to the consulting agreement, the Company’s obligation to issue BIP warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock for $1.20 per share (the “First Tranche Warrants”) was triggered as a result of certain milestone accomplishments.
The warrants will expire on June 29, 2017. Accordingly, the Company recorded $64,204 consulting expense and included in the general
administrative expense. The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model using the following
assumptions: volatility of 81%, risk free interest rate of 0.84%, and expected term of 1.25 years. The fair value of the warrants
was $64,204.
On April 18, 2016,
pursuant to the consulting agreement, the Company’s obligation to issue BIP warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock for $1.50 per share (the “Second Tranche Warrants”) was triggered as a result of certain milestone accomplishments.
The warrants will expire on July 17, 2017. Accordingly, the Company recorded $65,091 consulting expense and included in the general
administrative expense. The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model using the following
assumptions: volatility of 79.7%, risk free interest rate of 0.63%, and expected term of 1.25 years. The fair value of the warrants
was $65,091.
On May 10, 2016, the Company terminated
the consulting agreement. On June 27, 2016, the Company and BIP signed a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”).
In connection with the Settlement Agreement, the Company and BIP agreed that (1) the First Tranche Warrants and the Second Tranche
Warrants would remain vested and outstanding, (2) the third, fourth and fifth tranches of success fee warrants would be cancelled;
and (3) crediting of $66,439 in outstanding but unpaid fees against the exercise price of the First Tranche Warrants would be the
only payment made or required under the Service Agreement. As a result, BIP will receive (a) 55,365 shares, (b) warrants to purchase
94,635 shares for $1.2 per share, expiring June 28, 2017, and (c) warrants to purchase 150,000 shares for $1.50 per share, which
may be exercised from July 18, 2016 until July 17, 2017.
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the
Company agreed to pay BIP outstanding fees for previously rendered services in the aggregate amount of $66,439 by crediting such
fees against the exercise price of the First Tranche Warrants on June 29, 2016, resulting in the issuance to BIP of 55,365 shares
of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Settlement Agreement, the Company does not have any liability for future
warrants issuance to BIP. As of June 30, 2016, the remaining 244,635 outstanding warrants may be exercised in the future by BIP
upon delivery of cash and an exercise notice to the Company.
A total of 294,000
warrants consisting of 150,000 warrants issued to Wallington Investment Holdings Ltd with exercise price of $3.25 per share on
January 13, 2011 and 144,000 warrants issued to Rodman & Renshaw, LLC with exercise price of $3.99 per share on January 13,
2011 were expired on January 13, 2016. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company included $65,091 and $129,295

NOTE 16 – GOLD LEASE TRANSACTIONS
The Company leased gold as a way to finance
its growth and will return the same amount of gold to China Construction Bank (“CCB”), Shanghai Pudong Development
Bank (“SPD Bank”), CITIC Bank and Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (“ICBC”) at the end of the
respective lease agreements. Under these gold lease arrangements, each of CCB, SPD Bank, CITIC Bank and ICBC retains beneficial
ownership of the gold leased to the Company and treats it as if the gold is placed on consignment to the Company. All three banks
have their own representatives on the Company’s premises to monitor on a daily basis the use and security of the gold leased
to the Company. Accordingly, the Company records these gold lease transactions as operating leases because the Company does not
have ownership nor has it assumed the risk of loss for the leased gold.
