 2009, under New York law pursuant to a depositary trust agreement (the &#147;Trust
 Agreement&#148;) executed by ETF Securities USA LLC (the &#147;Sponsor&#148;) and the Bank
 of New York Mellon (the &#147;Trustee&#148;) at the time of the Trust&#146;s organization.
 The Trust holds gold bullion and issues shares (&#147;Shares&#148;) (in minimum blocks
 of 50,000 Shares, also referred to as &#147;Baskets&#148;) in exchange for deposits of
 gold and distributes gold in connection with the redemption of Baskets.
 Shares represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in an
 ownership of the Trust which are issued by the Trust. The Sponsor is a
 Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ETF
 Securities Limited, a Jersey, Channel Islands based company. The Trust is
 governed by the Trust Agreement. </FONT></P>

 Trust expects to create and redeem Shares from time to time, but only in one
 or more Baskets (a Basket equals a block of 50,000 Shares). The Trust issues
 Shares in Baskets to Authorized Participants on an ongoing basis. Individual
 investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares in direct transactions with the
 Trust. An Authorized Participant is a person who (1) is a registered
 broker-dealer or other securities market participant such as a bank or other
 financial institution which is not required to register as a broker-dealer to
 engage in securities transactions, (2) is a participant in The Depository
 Trust Company, (3) has entered into an Authorized Participant Agreement with
 the Trustee, and (4) has established an Authorized Participant Unallocated
 Account with the Trust&#146;s Custodian. An Authorized Participant Agreement is an
 agreement entered into by each Authorized Participant, the Sponsor and the
 Trustee which provides the procedures for the creation and redemption of
 Baskets and for the delivery of the gold required for such creations and
 redemptions. An Authorized Participant Unallocated Account is an unallocated
 gold account, either loco London or loco Zurich, established with the
 Custodian or a gold clearing bank by an Authorized Participant. </FONT></P>

 the difference from historical cost recorded as an offsetting amount to
 retained earnings. Changes in the Shares for the six months ended June 30,

 through in-kind transfers of gold to the Sponsor. With respect to expenses

 the Sponsor or in its own discretion, sell the Trust&#146;s gold as necessary to
 pay these expenses. When selling gold to pay expenses, the Trustee will
 endeavor to sell the smallest amounts of gold needed to pay these expenses in

 Standards Codification (&#147;ASC&#148;) 740-10, Income Taxes (formerly FASB
 Interpretation Number 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes). The
 Sponsor has evaluated the application of ASC 740 to the Trust, to determine
 whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial
 statement recognition. Based on this evaluation, the Trust has determined no
 reserves for uncertain tax positions are required to be recorded as a result
 of the application of ASC 740. As a result, no income tax liability or expense
 has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.</FONT></P>

 <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 of 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>

 trust, formed under the laws of the state 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

 is expected to issue Baskets in exchange for deposits of gold, and to
 distribute gold in connection with redemptions of Baskets. Shares issued by
 the Trust represent units of undivided beneficial interest in and ownership

 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>
