 primary expense of the Trust is the Sponsor&#146;s fee, which is paid by the Trust

 the Sponsor or in its own discretion, sell the Trust&#146;s gold as necessary to

 otherwise directed by the Sponsor, when selling gold the Trustee will endeavor
 to sell at the price established by the London Fix. The Trustee will place
 orders with dealers (which may include the Custodian) through which the

 The Custodian may be the purchaser of such gold only if the sale transaction
 is made at the next London Fix following the sale order. A gain or loss is
 recognized based on the difference between the selling price and the average
 cost of the gold sold. Neither the Trustee nor the Sponsor is liable for

 <P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust&#146;s sole business
 activity is the investment in gold, and substantially all the Trust&#146;s assets
 are holdings of gold which creates a concentration risk associated with
 fluctuations in the price of gold. Several factors could affect the price of
 gold, including: (i) global gold supply and demand, which is influenced by
 factors such as forward selling by gold producers, purchases made by gold
 producers to unwind gold hedge positions, central bank purchases and sales,
 and production and cost levels in major gold-producing countries; (ii)
 investors&#146; expectations with respect to the rate of inflation; (iii) currency
 exchange rates; (iv) interest rates; (v) investment and trading activities of
 hedge funds and commodity funds; and (vi) global or regional political,
 economic or financial events and situations. In addition, there is no
 assurance that gold will maintain its long-term value in terms of purchasing
 power in the future. In the event that the price of gold declines, the
 Sponsor expects the value of an investment in the Shares to decline
 proportionately. Each of these events could have a material affect on the
 Trust&#146;s financial position and results of operations. </FONT></P>

 of New York on the Date of Inception. The Trust is not managed like a
 corporation or an active investment vehicle. It does not have any officers,
 directors, or employees and is administered by the Trustee pursuant to the
 Depositary Trust Agreement. The Trust is not registered as an investment
 company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is not required to
 register under such act. It will not hold or trade in commodity futures
 contracts, nor is it a commodity pool, subject to regulation as a commodity
 pool operator or a commodity trading adviser in connection with issuing
 Shares. </FONT></P>

 deposits of gold, and to distribute gold in connection with redemptions of

 is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the price of gold, less the
 Trust&#146;s expenses. The Sponsor believes that, for many investors, the Shares
 will represent a cost effective investment relative to traditional means of
 investing in gold. </FONT></P>
