transferred to the Trust in exchange for shares issued by the Trust (&#147;Shares&#148;).
Each Share represents a fractional undivided beneficial interest in and
ownership of the Trust. The assets of the Trust are anticipated to consist
solely of gold bullion. The Trust was formed on September 1, 2009 when an initial deposit of
gold was made in exchange for the issuance of 2 Baskets (a &#147;Basket&#148; consists of
50,000 Shares). </FONT></P>

2009 to 8,250,000 shares outstanding at December 31, 2010.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust is not managed like a corporation or an active investment
vehicle. The Trust has no directors, officers or employees. It does not engage
in any activities designed to obtain a profit from or to improve the losses
caused by changes in the price of gold. The gold held by the Trust will only be
delivered to pay the remuneration due to the Sponsor (the &#147;Sponsor&#146;s Fee&#148;),
distributed to Authorized Participants (defined below) in connection with the
redemption of Baskets or sold (1) on an as-needed basis to pay Trust expenses
not assumed by the Sponsor, (2) in the event the Trust terminates and

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>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.
The Trust does and will not hold or trade in commodities futures contracts
regulated by the Commodity Exchange Act (the &#147;CEA&#148;), as administered by the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the &#147;CFTC&#148;). The Trust is not a commodity

operations. The Shares are intended to constitute a simple and cost-effective
means of making an investment similar to an investment in physical gold. An investment
in physical gold requires expensive and sometimes complicated arrangements in
connection with the assay, transportation, warehousing and insurance of the
metal. Traditionally, such expense and complications have resulted in
investments in physical gold being efficient only in amounts beyond the reach
of many investors. </FONT></P>

and Computation of Net Asset Value</B></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>On each business day, as promptly as practicable after 4:00 p.m. New
York time on such day (the &#147;Evaluation Time&#148;), the Trustee evaluates the gold
held by the Trust and determines the NAV of the Trust. For the purposes of
making these calculations, a business day means any day other than a day when
NYSE Arca is closed for regular trading.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>At the evaluation time, the Trustee values the
    Trust&#146;s gold on the basis
of that day&#146;s &#147;London PM Fix&#148; (the afternoon session of the twice
daily fix of the price of an ounce of gold which starts at 3:00 PM London, England
time and is performed in London by the five London Bullion Market Association
&#147;LBMA&#148; members of the London gold fix). If no London PM
Fix is made on such day or has not been announced by the Evaluation Time, the
next most recent London gold price fix (AM or PM) determined prior to the Evaluation
Time will be used, unless the Sponsor determines that such price is inappropriate
as a basis for evaluation. In the event the Sponsor determines that the London
PM Fix or such other publicly available price as the Sponsor may deem fairly
represents the commercial value of the Trust&#146;s gold is not an appropriate
basis for evaluation of the Trust&#146;s
gold, it shall identify an alternative basis for such evaluation to be employed
by the Trustee. Neither the Trustee nor the Sponsor shall be liable to any person
for the determination that the London PM Fix or such other publicly available
price is not appropriate as a basis for evaluation of the Trust&#146;s gold or
for any determination as to the alternative basis for such evaluation provided
that such determination is made in good faith.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Once the value of the gold has been determined,
    the Trustee will subtract all estimated accrued but unpaid fees (other than
    the fees accruing for such day on which the valuation takes place that are
    computed by reference to the value of the Trust or its assets), and other
    liabilities of the Trust from the total value of the gold and all other assets
    of the Trust (other than any amounts credited to the Trust&#146;s reserve
    account, if established). The resulting figure is the adjusted net asset
    value (the &#147;ANAV&#148;)
    of the Trust. The ANAV of the Trust is used to compute the Sponsor&#146;s
    Fee.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>All fees accruing for the day on which the valuation
    takes place that are computed by reference to the value of the Trust or its
    assets shall be calculated using the ANAV calculated for such day on which
    the valuation takes place. The Trustee shall subtract from the ANAV the amount
    of accrued fees so computed for such day and the resulting figure is the
    NAV of the Trust. The Trustee also determines the NAV per Share by dividing

an unlimited number of Shares. The Trustee creates Shares only in Baskets (a
Basket equals a block of 50,000 Shares) and only upon the order of an

privileges. Each Share is transferable, is fully paid and non-assessable and
entitles the holder to vote on the limited matters upon which Shareholders may
vote under the Trust Agreement. The Shares do not entitle their holders to any

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>A Shareholder that is not a US Shareholder as defined above (other than
a partnership, or an entity treated as a partnership for US federal tax
purposes) is generally considered a &#147;Non-US Shareholder&#148; for purposes of this
discussion. For US federal income tax purposes, the treatment of any beneficial
owner of an interest in a partnership, including any entity treated as a
partnership for US federal income tax purposes, generally depends upon the
status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Partnerships
and partners in partnerships should consult their tax advisors about the US
federal income tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of Shares.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>Taxation of the Trust</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust is classified as a &#147;grantor trust&#148; for
    US federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Trust itself is not subject
    to US federal income tax. Instead, the Trust&#146;s income and expenses &#147;flow
    through&#148; to the
Shareholders, and the Trustee reports the Trust&#146;s income, gains, losses
and deductions to the Internal Revenue Service (&#147;IRS&#148;) on that basis.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>Taxation of US Shareholders</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Shareholders generally are treated, for US federal income tax purposes,
as if they directly owned a pro rata share of the underlying assets held in the
Trust. Shareholders are also treated as if they directly received their respective
pro rata shares of the Trust&#146;s income, if any, and as if they directly incurred
their respective pro rata shares of the Trust&#146;s expenses. In the case of a
Shareholder that purchases Shares for cash, its initial tax basis in its pro
rata share of the assets held in the Trust at the time it acquires its Shares
is equal to its cost of acquiring the Shares. In the case of a Shareholder that
acquires its Shares as part of a creation, the delivery of gold to the Trust in
exchange for the underlying gold represented by the Shares is not be a taxable
event to the Shareholder, and the Shareholder&#146;s tax basis and holding period
for the Shareholder&#146;s pro rata share of the gold held in the Trust are the same
as its tax basis and holding period for the gold delivered in exchange
therefore (except to the extent of any cash contributed for such Shares). For
purposes of this discussion, it is assumed that all of a Shareholder&#146;s Shares
are acquired on the same date and at the same price per Share. Shareholders that
hold multiple lots of Shares, or that are contemplating acquiring multiple lots
of Shares, should consult their tax advisors as to the determination of the tax
basis and holding period for the underlying gold related to such Shares.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>When the Trust sells gold, for example to pay expenses, a Shareholder
generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference
between (1) the Shareholder&#146;s pro rata share of the amount realized by the
Trust upon the sale and (2) the Shareholder&#146;s tax basis for its pro rata share
of the gold that was sold, which gain or loss will generally be long-term or
short-term capital gain or loss, depending upon whether the Shareholder has a
holding period in its Shares of longer than one year. A Shareholder&#146;s tax basis
for its share of any gold sold by the Trust generally will be determined by
multiplying the Shareholder&#146;s total basis for its share of all of the gold held
in the Trust immediately prior to the sale, by a fraction the numerator of
which is the amount of gold sold, and the denominator of which is the total
amount of the gold held in the Trust immediately prior to the sale. After any
such sale, a Shareholder&#146;s tax basis for its pro rata share of the gold
remaining in the Trust will be equal to its tax basis for its share of the
total amount of the gold held in the Trust immediately prior to the sale, less
the portion of such basis allocable to its share of the gold that was sold.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Upon a Shareholder&#146;s sale of some or all of its Shares, the Shareholder
will be treated as having sold the portion of its pro rata share of the gold
held in the Trust at the time of the sale that is attributable to the Shares
sold. Accordingly, the Shareholder generally will recognize gain or loss on the
sale in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the amount realized
pursuant to the sale of the Shares, and (2) the Shareholder&#146;s tax basis for the
portion of its pro rata share of the gold held in the Trust at the time of sale
that is attributable to the Shares sold, as determined in the manner described
in the preceding paragraph.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>A redemption of some or all of a Shareholder&#146;s Shares in exchange for
the underlying gold represented by the Shares redeemed generally will not be a
taxable event to the Shareholder. The Shareholder&#146;s tax basis for the gold
received in the redemption generally will be the same as the Shareholder&#146;s tax
basis for the portion of its pro rata share of the gold held in the Trust
immediately prior to the redemption that is attributable to the Shares redeemed.
The Shareholder&#146;s holding period with respect to the gold received should
include the period during which the Shareholder held the Shares redeemed. A
subsequent sale of the gold received by the Shareholder will be a taxable
event.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>After any sale or redemption of less than all of a Shareholder&#146;s
Shares, the Shareholder&#146;s tax basis for its pro rata share of the gold held in
the Trust immediately after such sale or redemption generally will be equal to
its tax basis for its share of the total amount of the gold held in the Trust
immediately prior to the sale or redemption, less the portion of such basis
which is taken into account in determining the amount of gain or loss
recognized by the Shareholder upon such sale or, in the case of a redemption,
which is treated as the basis of the gold received by the Shareholder in the
redemption.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>In addition, recent legislation effective after December 31, 2012, if applicable to a Shareholder, would impose a new 3.8% Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. Shareholders should consult their tax advisor regarding this tax.</font></p>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>An Authorized Participant and other investors may be able to re-invest,
on a tax-deferred basis, in-kind redemption proceeds received from
exchange-traded products that are substantially similar to the Trust in the
Trust&#146;s Shares. Authorized Participants and other investors should consult
their tax advisors as to whether and under what circumstances the reinvestment
in the Shares of proceeds from substantially similar exchange-traded products
can be accomplished on a tax-deferred basis.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>Maximum 28% Long-Term Capital Gains Tax Rate
for US Shareholders Who Are Individuals</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Under current law, gains recognized by individuals from the sale of
&#147;collectibles,&#148; including gold bullion, held for more than one year are taxed
at a maximum federal income tax rate of 28%, rather than the 15% rate
applicable to most other long-term capital gains. For these purposes, gain
recognized by an individual upon the sale of an interest in a trust that holds
collectibles is treated as gain recognized on the sale of collectibles, to the
extent that the gain is attributable to unrealized appreciation in value of the
collectibles held by the trust. Therefore, any gain recognized by an individual
US Shareholder attributable to a sale of Shares held for more than one year, or
attributable to the Trust&#146;s sale of any gold bullion which the Shareholder is
treated (through its ownership of Shares) as having held for more than one
year, generally will be taxed at a maximum rate of 28%. The tax rates for
capital gains recognized upon the sale of assets held by an individual US
Shareholder for one year or less or by a taxpayer other than an individual US
taxpayer are generally the same as those at which ordinary income is taxed.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>Brokerage Fees and Trust Expenses</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Any brokerage or other transaction fee incurred
    by a Shareholder in purchasing Shares is treated as part of the Shareholder&#146;s
    tax basis in the underlying assets of the Trust. Similarly, any brokerage
    fee incurred by a Shareholder in selling Shares reduces the amount realized
    by the Shareholder with respect to the sale.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Shareholders are required to recognize gain or loss upon a sale of gold
by the Trust (as discussed above), even though some or all of the proceeds of
such sale are used by the Trustee to pay Trust expenses. Shareholders may
deduct their respective pro rata shares of each expense incurred by the Trust
to the same extent as if they directly incurred the expense. Shareholders who
are individuals, estates or trusts, however, may be required to treat some or
all of the expenses of the Trust, to the extent that such expenses may be
deducted, as miscellaneous itemized deductions. Individuals may deduct certain
miscellaneous itemized deductions only to the extent they exceed 2% of adjusted
gross income. In addition, such deductions may be subject to further
limitations under applicable provisions of the Code, and may not be deductible
at all for alternative minimum tax purposes.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>Investment by Regulated Investment Companies</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Mutual funds and other investment vehicles which are &#147;regulated
investment companies&#148; within the meaning of Code section 851 should consult
with their tax advisors concerning (1) the likelihood that an investment in
Shares, although they are a &#147;security&#148; within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, may be considered an investment in the underlying gold for
purposes of Code section 851(b), and (2) the extent to which an investment in
Shares might nevertheless be consistent with preservation of their
qualification under Code section 851.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trustee or the appropriate broker files certain
    information returns with the IRS, and provides certain tax-related information
    to Shareholders, in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations. Each

<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE=2>9</FONT></P>

<HR NOSHADE ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="100%" SIZE=4><P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE='PAGE-BREAK-BEFORE: ALWAYS'></P><PAGE>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>A US Shareholder may be subject to US backup withholding tax in certain
circumstances unless it provides its taxpayer identification number and
complies with certain certification procedures. Non-US Shareholders may have to
comply with certification procedures to establish that they are not a US person
in order to avoid the information reporting and backup withholding tax
requirements.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The amount of any backup withholding is allowed as a credit against a
Shareholder&#146;s US federal income tax liability and may entitle such a Shareholder
to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>Income Taxation of Non-US Shareholders</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust does not expect to generate taxable income
    except for gain (if any) upon the sale of gold. A Non-US Shareholder generally
    is not subject to US federal income tax with respect to gain recognized upon
    the sale or other disposition of Shares, or upon the sale of gold by the
    Trust, unless (1) the Non-US Shareholder is an individual and is present
    in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the
    sale or other disposition, and the gain is treated as being from United States
    sources; or (2) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the
Non-US Shareholder of a trade or business in the United States.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>Taxation in Jurisdictions other than the
United States</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Prospective purchasers of Shares that are based in or acting out of a
jurisdiction other than the United States are advised to consult their own tax
advisers as to the tax consequences, under the laws of such jurisdiction (or
any other jurisdiction not being the United States to which they are subject),
of their purchase, holding, sale and redemption of or any other dealing in
Shares and, in particular, as to whether any value added tax, other consumption
tax or transfer tax is payable in relation to such purchase, holding, sale,
redemption or other dealing.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>E<A NAME="c64623a011_v1"></A>RISA and Related
Considerations</B></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (&#147;ERISA&#148;), and/or Code Section 4975 impose certain requirements on certain employee benefit plans and other plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans, and certain commingled investment vehicles or insurance company general or separate accounts in which such plans or arrangements are invested (collectively, &#147;Plans&#148;), and on persons who are fiduciaries with respect to the investment of &#147;plan assets&#148; of a Plan. Government plans and some church plans are not subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, but may be subject to substantially similar rules under other federal law, or under state or local law (&#147;Other Law&#148;).</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>In contemplating an investment of a portion of Plan assets in Shares, the Plan fiduciary responsible for making such investment should carefully consider, taking into account the facts and circumstances of the Plan and the &#147;Risk Factors&#148; discussed above and whether such investment is consistent with its fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA or Other Law, including, but not limited to: (1) whether the investment is permitted under the plan&#146;s governing documents, (2) whether the fiduciary has the authority to make the investment, (3) whether the investment is consistent with the plan&#146;s funding objectives, (4) the tax effects of the investment on the Plan, and (5) whether the investment is prudent considering the factors discussed in this report. In addition, ERISA and Code Section 4975 prohibit a broad range of transactions involving assets of a plan and persons who are &#147;parties in interest&#148; under ERISA or &#147;disqualified persons&#148; under Section 4975 of the Code. A violation of these rules may result in the imposition of significant excise taxes and other liabilities. Plans subject to Other Law may be subject to similar restrictions.
</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>It is anticipated that the Shares will constitute &#147;publicly-held offered securities&#148; as defined in the Department of Labor &#147;Plan Asset Regulations,&#148; &sect;2510.3-101(b)(2). Accordingly, pursuant to the Plan Asset Regulations, Shares purchased by a Plan, and not an interest in the underlying assets held in the Trust, should be treated as &#147;plan assets&#148; of the Plan, for purposes of applying the &#147;fiduciary responsibility&#148; and &#147;prohibited transaction&#148; rules of ERISA and the Code. Fiduciaries of plans subject to Other Law should consult legal counsel to determine whether there would be a similar result under the Other Law.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>Investment by Certain Retirement Plans</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Code section 408(m) provides that the acquisition of a &#147;collectible&#148; by
an individual retirement account (IRA) or a participant-directed account maintained
under any plan that is tax-qualified under Code section 401(a) is treated as a
taxable distribution from the account to the owner of the IRA, or to the
participant for whom the plan account is maintained, of an amount equal to the
cost to the account of acquiring the collectible. The IRS has issued private
letter rulings to the effect that a purchase of shares in a trust holding
precious metals by an IRA, or by a participant-directed account under a Code
section 401(a) plan, will not be treated as resulting in a taxable distribution
to the IRA owner or plan participant under Code section 408(m). However, if any
of the Shares so purchased are distributed from the IRA or plan account to the
IRA owner or plan participant, or if any gold received by such IRA or plan
account upon the redemption of any of the Shares purchased by it, the Shares or
gold so distributed will be subject to federal income tax in the year of
distribution, to the extent provided under the applicable provisions of Code
sections 408(d), 408(m) or 402.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Shares may trade at, above or below the NAV per Share. The NAV per
Share fluctuates with changes in the market value of the Trust&#146;s assets. The
trading price of the Shares fluctuates in accordance with changes in the NAV

premium in the trading price relative to the NAV per Share may be influenced by
non-concurrent trading hours between the NYSE Arca and the major gold markets.
While the Shares trade on the NYSE Arca until 4:00 PM New York time, liquidity
in the market for gold is reduced after the close of the major world gold
markets, including London, Zurich and the COMEX. As a result, during this time,
trading spreads, and the resulting premium or discount on the Shares, may
widen.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Purchasing activity in the gold market associated with the purchase of
Baskets from the Trust may cause a temporary increase in the price of gold.
This increase may adversely affect an investment in the Shares.</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Purchasing activity associated with acquiring the gold required for
deposit into the Trust in connection with the creation of Baskets may
temporarily increase the market price of gold, which will result in higher
prices for the Shares. Temporary increases in the market price of gold may also
occur as a result of the purchasing activity of other market participants.
Other gold market participants may attempt to benefit from an increase in the
market price of gold that may result from increased purchasing activity of gold
connected with the issuance of Baskets. Consequently, the market price of gold
may decline immediately after Baskets are created. If the price of gold
declines, the trading price of the Shares may also decline.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>The Shares and their value could decrease if unanticipated operational

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>There may be unanticipated problems or issues with respect to the

have a material adverse effect on an investment in the Shares. In addition,
although the Trust is not actively &#147;managed&#148; by traditional methods, to the

difficulties, potential market participants who would otherwise be willing to

arising from discrepancies between the price of the Shares and the price of the
underlying gold may not take the risk that, as a result of those difficulties,
they may not be able to realize the profit they expect. If this is the case, the
liquidity of Shares may decline and the price of the Shares may fluctuate
independently of the price of gold and may fall.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>The liquidity of the Shares may be affected by the withdrawal from

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>In the event that one or more Authorized Participants having

shares in an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 or the protections afforded by the Commodity Exchange Act (&#147;CEA&#148;).</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>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.
Consequently, Shareholders do not have the regulatory protections provided to
investors in investment companies. The Trust does and will not hold or trade in
commodity futures contracts regulated by the CEA, as administered by the CFTC.
Furthermore, the Trust is not a commodity pool for purposes of the CEA, and
neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee is subject to regulation by the CFTC as a
commodity pool operator or a commodity trading advisor in connection with the

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>If the Trust is required to terminate and liquidate, such termination
and liquidation could occur at a time which is disadvantageous to Shareholders,
such as when gold prices are lower than the gold prices at the time when
Shareholders purchased their Shares. In such a case, when the Trust&#146;s gold is
sold as part of the Trust&#146;s liquidation, the resulting proceeds distributed to
Shareholders will be less than if gold prices were higher at the time of sale.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>The lack of an active trading market for the Shares may result in

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Although Shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, it cannot be
assumed that an active trading market for the Shares will develop or be
maintained. If an investor needs to sell Shares at a time when no active market
for Shares exists, such lack of an active market will most likely adversely
affect the price the investor receives for the Shares (assuming the investor is
able to sell them).</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Shareholders do not have the rights enjoyed by investors in certain

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>As interests in an investment trust, the Shares have none of the

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The possibility of large-scale distress sales of gold in times of
crisis may have a short-term negative impact on the price of gold and adversely
affect an investment in the Shares. For example, the 2008 financial credit
crisis resulted in significantly depressed prices of gold largely due to forced
sales and deleveraging from institutional investors such as hedge funds and
pension funds. Crises in the future may impair gold&#146;s price performance which
would, in turn, adversely affect an investment in the Shares.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>There is a risk that part or all of the Trust&#146;s gold could be lost,
damaged or stolen. Access to the Trust&#146;s gold could also be restricted by
natural events (such as an earthquake) or human actions (such as a terrorist
attack). Any of these events may adversely affect the operations of the Trust
and, consequently, an investment in the Shares.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>The Trust&#146;s lack of insurance protection and the Shareholders&#146; limited

person is liable.</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust does not insure its gold. The Custodian maintains insurance
with regard to its business on such terms and conditions as it considers
appropriate in connection with its custodial obligations and is responsible for
all costs, fees and expenses arising from the insurance policy or policies. The
Trust is not a beneficiary of any such insurance and does not have the ability
to dictate the existence, nature or amount of coverage. Therefore, Shareholders
cannot be assured that the Custodian maintains adequate insurance or any
insurance with respect to the gold held by the Custodian on behalf of the
Trust. In addition, the Custodian and the Trustee do not require the Zurich
Sub-Custodian or any other direct or indirect sub-custodians to be insured or
bonded with respect to their custodial activities or in respect of the gold
held by them on behalf of the Trust. Further, Shareholders&#146; recourse against
the Trust, the Trustee and the Sponsor, under New York law, the Custodian, the
Zurich Sub-Custodian and any other sub-custodian, under English law, and any
sub-custodians under the law governing their custody operations is limited.
Consequently, a loss may be suffered with respect to the Trust&#146;s gold which is
not covered by insurance and for which no person is liable in damages.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>The Custodian&#146;s limited liability under the Custody Agreements and
English law may impair the ability of the Trust to recover losses concerning
its gold and any recovery may be limited, even in the event of fraud, to the
market value of the gold at the time the fraud is discovered.</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The liability of the Custodian is limited under the Custody Agreements.
Under the Custody Agreements between the Trustee and the Custodian which
establish the Trust Unallocated Account and the Trust Allocated Account, the
Custodian is only liable for losses that are the direct result of its own
negligence, fraud or willful default in the performance of its duties. Any such
liability is further limited, in the case of the Allocated Account Agreement,
to the market value of the gold held in the Trust Allocated Account at the time
such negligence, fraud or willful default is discovered by the Custodian and,
in the case of the Unallocated Account Agreement, to the amount of gold
credited to the Trust Unallocated Account at the time such negligence, fraud or
willful default is discovered by the Custodian. Under each Authorized
Participant Unallocated Bullion Account Agreement (between the Custodian or
other gold bullion clearing bank and an Authorized Participant establishing an
Authorized Participant Unallocated Account), the Custodian is not contractually
or otherwise liable for any losses suffered by any Authorized </FONT></P>

gross negligence, fraud or willful default in the performance of its duties
under such agreement, and in no event will its liability exceed the market
value of the balance in the Authorized Participant Unallocated Account at the
time such gross negligence, fraud or willful default is discovered by the
Custodian. In addition, the Custodian will not be liable for any delay in
performance or any non-performance of any of its obligations under the
Allocated Account Agreement, the Unallocated Account Agreement or the
Authorized Participant Unallocated Bullion Account Agreement by reason of any
cause beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war or terrorism.
As a result, the recourse of the Trustee or the investor, under English law, is
limited. Furthermore, under English common law, the Custodian, the Zurich
Sub-Custodian or any subcustodian will not be liable for any delay in the
performance or any non-performance of its custodial obligations by reason of
any cause beyond its reasonable control.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>The obligations of the Custodian, the Zurich Sub-Custodian and any

in attempting to receive legal redress against the Custodian, the Zurich
Sub-Custodian or any subcustodian concerning its gold.</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The obligations of the Custodian under the Custody Agreements are, and
the Authorized Participant Unallocated Bullion Account Agreements may be,
governed by English law. The Custodian has entered into arrangements with the
Zurich Sub-Custodian and may enter into arrangements with any other
subcustodians for all or a significant portion of the Trust&#146;s gold, which
arrangements may also be governed by English law. The Trust is a New York
common law trust. Any United States, New York or other court situated in the
United States may have difficulty interpreting English law (which, insofar as
it relates to custody arrangements, is largely derived from court rulings
rather than statute), LBMA rules or the customs and practices in the London
custody market. It may be difficult or impossible for the Trust to sue the
Zurich Sub-Custodian or any other subcustodian in a United States, New York or
other court situated in the United States. In addition, it may be difficult,
time consuming and/or expensive for the Trust to enforce in a foreign court a
judgment rendered by a United States, New York or other court situated in the
United States.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Although the relationship between the Custodian and the Zurich
Sub-Custodian concerning the Trust&#146;s allocated gold is expressly governed by
English law, a court hearing any legal dispute concerning that arrangement may

the Trust to seek legal redress against the Zurich Sub-Custodian may be
frustrated.</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The obligations of the Zurich Sub-Custodian under its arrangement with
the Custodian with respect to the Trust&#146;s allocated gold is expressly governed
by English law. Nevertheless, a court in the United States, England or
Switzerland may determine that English law should not apply and, instead, apply
Swiss law to that arrangement. Not only might it be difficult or impossible for
a United States or English court to apply Swiss law to the Zurich
Sub-Custodian&#146;s arrangement, but application of Swiss law may, among other
things, alter the relative rights and obligations of the Custodian and the
Zurich Sub-Custodian to an extent that a loss to the Trust&#146;s gold may not have
adequate or any legal redress. Further, the ability of the Trust to seek legal
redress against the Zurich Sub-Custodian may be frustrated by application of
Swiss law.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>The Trust may not have adequate sources of recovery if its gold is
lost, damaged, stolen or destroyed.</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>If the Trust&#146;s gold is lost, damaged, stolen or destroyed under
circumstances rendering a party liable to the Trust, the responsible party may
not have the financial resources sufficient to satisfy the Trust&#146;s claim. For
example, as to a particular event of loss, the only source of recovery for the
Trust might be limited to the Custodian, the Zurich Sub-Custodian or any other
subcustodians or, to the extent identifiable, other responsible third parties
(e.g., a thief or terrorist), any of which may not have the financial resources
(including liability insurance coverage) to satisfy a valid claim of the Trust.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Neither the Shareholders nor any Authorized Participant have a right
under the Custody Agreements to assert a claim of the Trustee against the
Custodian, the Zurich Sub-Custodian or any subcustodian. Claims under the

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>The Custodian is reliant on the Zurich Sub-Custodian for the
safekeeping of all or a substantial portion of the Trust&#146;s gold. Furthermore,

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Gold generally trades on a loco London or loco Zurich basis whereby the
physical gold is held in vaults located in London or Zurich or is transferred
into accounts established in London or Zurich. The Custodian does not have a
vault in Zurich and is reliant on the Zurich Sub-Custodian for the safekeeping
of all or a substantial portion of the Trust&#146;s allocated gold. Other than
obligations to (1) use reasonable care in appointing the Zurich Sub-Custodian,
(2) require any Zurich Sub-Custodian to segregate the gold held by it for the
Trust from any other gold held by it for the Custodian and any other customers
of the Custodian by making appropriate entries in its books and records and (3)
ensure that the Zurich Sub-Custodian provide confirmation to the Trustee that
it has undertaken to segregate the gold held by it for the Trust, the Custodian
is not liable for the acts or omissions of the Zurich Sub-Custodian. Other than
as described above, the Custodian does not undertake to monitor the performance
by the Zurich Sub-Custodian of its custody functions. The Trustee&#146;s obligation
to monitor the performance of the Custodian is limited to receiving and reviewing
the reports of the Custodian. The Trustee does not monitor the performance of
the Zurich Sub-Custodian or any other subcustodian. In addition, the ability of
the Trustee and the Sponsor to monitor the performance of the Custodian may be
limited because under the Custody Agreements, the Trustee and the Sponsor have
only limited rights to visit the premises of the Custodian or the Zurich
Sub-Custodian for the purpose of examining the Trust&#146;s gold and certain related
records maintained by the Custodian or Zurich Sub-Custodian.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>As a result of the above, any failure by any Zurich Sub-Custodian to
exercise due care in the safekeeping of the Trust&#146;s gold may not be detectable
or controllable by the Custodian or the Trustee and could result in a loss to
the Trust.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>The Custodian relies on its Zurich Sub-Custodian to hold the gold
allocated to the Trust Allocated Account and used to settle redemptions. As a
result, settlement of gold in connection with redemptions loco London may
require more than three days.</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Custodian is reliant on its Zurich Sub-Custodian to hold the gold
allocated to the Trust Allocated Account in order to effect redemption of
Shares. As a result, in the case for redemption orders electing gold deliveries
to be received loco London, it may take longer than three business days for
gold to be credited to the Authorized Participant Unallocated Account, which
may result in a delay of settlement of the redemption order that is settled
loco London.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Because neither the Trustee nor the Custodian oversees or monitors the
activities of subcustodians who may hold the Trust&#146;s gold, failure by the
subcustodians to exercise due care in the safekeeping of the Trust&#146;s gold could
result in a loss to the Trust.</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Under the Allocated Account Agreement, the Custodian may appoint from
time to time one or more subcustodians to hold the Trust&#146;s gold on a temporary
basis pending delivery to the Custodian. The subcustodians which the Custodian
currently uses are the Bank of England, Brink&#146;s Global Services Inc., Via Mat
International and LBMA clearing members that provide bullion vaulting and
clearing services to third parties. The Custodian has selected the Zurich
Sub-Custodian, and the Zurich Sub-Custodian maintains custody of all of the
Trust&#146;s allocated gold for the Custodian. The Custodian is required under the
Allocated Account Agreement to use reasonable care in appointing the Zurich
Sub-Custodian and any other subcustodians, making the Custodian liable only for
negligence or bad faith in the selection of such subcustodians, and has an
obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain delivery of the
Trust&#146;s gold from any subcustodians appointed by the Custodian. Otherwise, the
Custodian is not liable for the acts or omissions of its subcustodians. These
subcustodians may in turn appoint further subcustodians, but the Custodian is
not responsible for the appointment of these further subcustodians. The
Custodian does not undertake to monitor the performance by subcustodians of
their custody functions or their selection of further subcustodians. The
Trustee does not monitor the performance of the Custodian other than to review
the reports provided by the Custodian pursuant to the Custody Agreements and
does not undertake to monitor the performance of any subcustodian. Furthermore,
except for the Zurich Sub-Custodian, the Trustee may have no right to visit the
premises of any subcustodian for the purposes of examining the Trust&#146;s gold or
any records maintained by the subcustodian, and no subcustodian will be obligated
to cooperate in any review the Trustee may wish to conduct of the facilities,
procedures, records or creditworthiness of such subcustodian. In addition, the
ability of the Trustee to monitor the performance of the Custodian may be
limited because under the Allocated Account Agreement and the Unallocated
Account Agreement the Trustee has only limited rights to visit the premises of
the Custodian and the Zurich Sub-Custodian for the purpose of examining the
Trust&#146;s gold and certain related records maintained by the Custodian and the
Zurich Sub-Custodian.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>The obligations of any subcustodian of the Trust&#146;s gold are not

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Except for the Custodian&#146;s arrangement with the Zurich Sub-Custodian,
there are expected to be no written contractual arrangements between
subcustodians that hold the Trust&#146;s gold and the Trustee or the Custodian
because traditionally such arrangements are based on the LBMA&#146;s rules and on
the customs and practices of the London bullion market. In the event of a legal
dispute with respect to or arising from such arrangements, it may be difficult
to define such customs and practices. The LBMA&#146;s rules may be subject to change
outside the control of the Trust. Under English law, neither the Trustee nor
the Custodian would have a supportable breach of contract claim against a
subcustodian for losses relating to the safekeeping of gold. If the Trust&#146;s
gold is lost or damaged while in the custody of a subcustodian, the Trust may
not be able to recover damages from the Custodian or the subcustodian. Whether
a subcustodian will be liable for the failure of subcustodians appointed by it
to exercise due care in the safekeeping of the Trust&#146;s gold will depend on the
facts and circumstances of the particular situation. Shareholders cannot be
assured that the Trustee will be able to recover damages from subcustodians
whether appointed by the Custodian or by another subcustodian for any losses
relating to the safekeeping of gold by such subcustodian.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Gold bullion allocated to the Trust in connection with the creation of
a Basket may not meet the London Good Delivery Standards and, if a Basket is

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian independently confirms the
fineness of the gold allocated to the Trust in connection with the creation of
a Basket. The gold bullion allocated to the Trust by the Custodian may be
different from the reported fineness or weight required by the LBMA&#146;s standards
for gold bars delivered in settlement of a gold trade (London Good Delivery
Standards), the standards required by the Trust. If the Trustee nevertheless
issues a Basket against such gold, and if the Custodian fails to satisfy its
obligation to credit the Trust the amount of any deficiency, the Trust may
suffer a loss.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Gold held in the Trust&#146;s unallocated gold account and any Authorized
Participant&#146;s unallocated gold account is not segregated from the Custodian&#146;s
assets. If the Custodian becomes insolvent, its assets may not be adequate to
satisfy a claim by the Trust or any Authorized Participant. In addition, in the
event of the Custodian&#146;s insolvency, there may be a delay and costs incurred in
identifying the bullion held in the Trust&#146;s allocated gold account.</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Gold which is part of a deposit for a purchase order or part of a
redemption distribution is held for a time in the Trust Unallocated Account
and, previously or subsequently in, the Authorized Participant Unallocated
Account of the purchasing or redeeming Authorized Participant. During those
times, the Trust and the Authorized Participant, as the case may be, have no
proprietary rights to any specific bars of gold held by the Custodian and are
each an unsecured creditor of the Custodian with respect to the amount of gold
held in such unallocated accounts. In addition, if the Custodian fails to
allocate the Trust&#146;s gold in a timely manner, in the proper amounts or
otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Unallocated Account Agreement, or
if a subcustodian fails to so segregate gold held by it on behalf of the Trust,
unallocated gold will not be segregated from the Custodian&#146;s assets, and the
Trust will be an unsecured creditor of the Custodian with respect to the amount
so held in the event of the insolvency of the Custodian. In the event the
Custodian becomes insolvent, the Custodian&#146;s assets might not be adequate to
satisfy a claim by the Trust or the Authorized Participant for the amount of
gold held in their respective unallocated gold accounts.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>In the case of the insolvency of the Custodian, a liquidator may seek
to freeze access to the gold held in all of the accounts held by the Custodian,
including the Trust Allocated Account. Although the Trust would be able to
claim ownership of properly allocated gold, the Trust could incur expenses in
connection with asserting such claims, and the assertion of such a claim by the
liquidator could delay creations and redemptions of Baskets.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>In issuing Baskets, the Trustee relies on certain information received

Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Introduction</I>.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The ETFS Gold Trust (the &#147;Trust&#148;) is a trust formed under the laws of
the State of New York. The Trust does not have any officers, directors, or
employees, and is administered by The Bank of New York Mellon (the &#147;Trustee&#148;)
acting as trustee pursuant to the Depositary Trust Agreement (the &#147;Trust
Agreement&#148;) between the Trustee and ETF Securities USA LLC, the sponsor of the
Trust (the &#147;Sponsor&#148;). The Trust issues Shares representing fractional
undivided beneficial interests in its net assets. The assets of the Trust
consist of gold bullion held by a custodian as an agent of the Trust and
responsible only to the Trustee. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust is a passive investment vehicle and the
    objective of the Trust is merely for the value of each Share to approximately
    reflect, at any given time, the price of the gold bullion owned by the Trust,
    less the Trust&#146;s
liabilities (anticipated to be principally for accrued operating expenses),
divided by the number of outstanding Shares. The Trust does not engage in any
activities designed to obtain a profit from, or ameliorate losses caused by,
changes in the price of gold. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust issues and redeems Shares only in exchange
    for gold, only in aggregations of 50,000 or integral multiples thereof (each,
    a &#147;Basket&#148;), and
only in transactions with registered broker-dealers that have previously
entered into an agreement with the Trust governing the terms and conditions of
such issuance (such dealers, the &#147;Authorized Participants&#148;). A list of current
Authorized Participants is available from the Sponsor or the Trustee. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Shares of the Trust trade on the NYSE Arca under the symbol &#147;SGOL&#148;. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Investing in the Shares does not insulate the investor from certain
risks, including price volatility. The following table illustrates the movement
in the price of the Shares and net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) of the Shares against
the corresponding gold price (per 1/10 of an oz. of gold) since inception:</FONT></P>

 <P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT SIZE=2><img  src="c64623001_v1.jpg" ALT="(LINE GRAPH)"></font></P>


<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The divergence of the price of the Shares and NAV of the Shares from
the gold price over time reflects the cumulative effect of the Trust expenses
that arise if an investment had been held since inception.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I><B>Critical Accounting
Policy</B></I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. The preparation of these financial statements relies on estimates
and assumptions that impact the Trust&#146;s financial position and results of
operations. These estimates and assumptions affect the Trust&#146;s application of
accounting policies. Below we describe the valuation of gold bullion, a
critical accounting policy that we believe is important to understanding our
results of operations and financial position. In addition, please refer to Note
2 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of our accounting
policies.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Valuation of Gold </I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Gold is held by the Custodian on behalf of the Trust and is valued, for
financial statement purposes, at the lower of cost or market. The cost of gold
is determined according to the average cost method and the market value is
based on the London PM Fix used to determine the NAV of the Trust. Realized
gains and losses on sales of gold, or gold distributed for the redemption of
Shares, are calculated on a trade date basis using average cost.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Inspection of Gold</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Under the Custody Agreements, the Sponsor has exercised its right to visit the
Custodian, in order to examine the gold and the records maintained by the Custodian. The inspection held on December 31, 2010 confirmed that the Custodian&#146;s
records of gold held in the vault were accurate.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Liquidity </I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events
that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to its liquidity
needs. In exchange for a fee, (the &#147;Sponsor&#146;s Fee&#148;) the Sponsor has agreed to
assume most of the expenses incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only
expense of the Trust during the period covered by this report was the Sponsor&#146;s
Fee. The Trust&#146;s only source of liquidity is its transfers and sales of gold. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trustee will, at the direction of the Sponsor or in its own discretion, sell the Trust&#146;s gold as necessary to pay the Trust&#146;s expenses not otherwise assumed by the Sponsor. The Trustee will not sell gold to pay the Sponsor&#146;s Fee but will pay the Sponsor&#146;s Fee through in-kind transfers of gold to the Sponsor. At December 31, 2010, the Trust did not have any cash balances. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The
net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) of the Trust is obtained by subtracting the Trust&#146;s expenses
and liabilities on any day from the value of the gold owned by the Trust on
that day; the NAV per Share is obtained by dividing the NAV of the Trust on a
given day by the number of Shares outstanding on that day. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The
Trust&#146;s NAV grew from $336,294,290 at December&nbsp;31, 2009 to $1,157,505,203
at December&nbsp;31, 2010, a 244.19% increase for the year. NAV per Share
increased 27.24% from $110.26 at December&nbsp;31, 2009 to $140.30 at
December&nbsp;31, 2010. The increase in the Trust&#146;s NAV resulted primarily from
an increase in the price per ounce of gold, which rose 27.74% from $1,104.00 at
December&nbsp;31, 2009 to $1,410.25 at December&nbsp;31, 2010 and an increase
in outstanding Shares, which rose from 3,050,000 Shares at December&nbsp;31,
2009 to 8,250,000 Shares at December&nbsp;31, 2010, a consequence of 5,250,000
Shares (105 Baskets) being created and 50,000 Shares (1 Basket) being redeemed
during the year. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The
Trust&#146;s NAV per Share rose slightly less than the price per ounce of gold
on a percentage basis due to Sponsor&#146;s fees, which were $2,539,882 for the
year, or 0.39% of the Trust&#146;s assets on an annualized basis.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The
NAV per Share of $141.45 at November 9, 2010 was the highest during the year,
compared with a low of $105.63 at February 5, 2010. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Net
loss for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2010 was $1,791,997 resulting from
a net gain of $186,497 on the transfer of gold to pay expenses and a net gain
of $561,388 on gold distributed for the redemption of Shares, offset by Sponsor&#146;s
Fees of $2,539,882. Other than the Sponsor&#146;s Fees, the Trust had no expenses
during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2010. </FONT></P>

period from September 9, 2009 to December 31, 2009</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>On
September 1, 2009, the Trust was formed as a legal entity with an initial
deposit of gold. On September 9, 2009, the Trust&#146;s Shares commenced trading on
the NYSE Arca under the symbol SGOL, and the Trust commenced operations, began
accruing expenses and began the calculation of NAV (the &#147;Commencement of
Operations&#148;). The assets of the Trust were $9,994,893 and the redemption value
per Share was $99.95 as of commencement of operations on September 9, 2009. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The
Trust&#146;s NAV grew from $9,994,893 at September 9, 2009 to $336,294,290 at
December&nbsp;31, 2009, a 3,264.66% increase for the period. The increase in
the Trust&#146;s NAV resulted primarily from an increase in the price per ounce of
gold, which rose 10.46% from $ 999.50 at September 9, 2009 to $1,104.00 at
December&nbsp;31, 2009 and an increase in outstanding shares, which rose from
100,000 shares at September 9, 2009 to 3,050,000 shares at December&nbsp;31,
2009, a consequence of 3,200,000 shares (64 Baskets) being created and 250,000
shares (5 Baskets) being redeemed during the period. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The
10.32% increase in the Trust&#146;s NAV per Share from $99.95 at September 9, 2009
to $110.26 at December&nbsp;31, 2009 directly relates to the price per ounce of
Gold, which rose 10.46%. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange
Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission&#146;s rules and forms,
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Sponsor, and to the audit
committee, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Sponsor, the Sponsor conducted
an evaluation of the Trusts disclosure controls and procedures, as defined
under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Sponsor concluded
that, as of December 31, 2010, the Trust&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures
were effective.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>There have been changes in the Trust&#146;s or Sponsor&#146;s internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during the Trust&#146;s recently completed
fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust&#146;s or Sponsor&#146;s internal
control over financial reporting. These changes have occurred as a result of the Sponsor&#146;s
review of the control processes. The changes include strengthening the review
procedures over the financial statements and the creation of an audit committee
to act in respect of the Trust on behalf of the Sponsor&#146;s audit committee.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Management&#146;s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting</I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Sponsor&#146;s management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined
under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The Trust&#146;s internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. Internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Trust&#146;s
assets,</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Trust&#146;s receipts and
expenditures are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorizations;
and</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Trust&#146;s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become ineffective because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Sponsor
assessed the effectiveness of the Trust&#146;s internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, they used the
criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal Control&#151;Integrated Framework. Their assessment
included an evaluation of the design of the Trust&#146;s internal control over
financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of its
internal control over financial reporting. Based on their assessment and those
criteria, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the
Sponsor concluded that the Trust maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Deloitte &amp; Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting
firm that audited and reported on the financial statements included in this

  <font size="2">REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM</font></B></p>
<p><font size="2">To the Sponsor, Trustee and the Shareholders of the ETFS Gold Trust</font></p>
<p><font size="2">We have audited the internal control over financial reporting
    of ETFS Gold Trust (the &ldquo;Trust&rdquo;) as of December 31, 2010, based
    on criteria established in <I>Internal Control&mdash;Integrated Framework </I>issued
    by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
    The Trust&rsquo;s
  management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial
  reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
  financial reporting included in the accompanying Management&rsquo;s Report
  on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express
  an opinion on the Trust&rsquo;s internal control over financial reporting based
on our audit.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
  Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
  plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective
  internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
  Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
  reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and
  evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based
  on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered
  necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">A company&rsquo;s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
  by, or under the supervision of, the company&rsquo;s principal executive and
  principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and
  effected by the company&rsquo;s board of directors, management, and other personnel
  to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
  and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
  with generally accepted accounting principles. A company&rsquo;s internal control
  over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:(1) pertain
  to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
  reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)
  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
  permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
  accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
  being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
  of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
  timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company&rsquo;s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting,
  including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls,
  material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected
  on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness
  of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject
  to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">In our opinion, the Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective
  internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on
  the criteria established in <I>Internal Control&mdash;Integrated Framework </I>issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the
    Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the financial
    statements of the Trust as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, and
    our report dated March 14, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those
financial statements.</font></p>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of
ETFS Gold Trust (the &#147;Trust&#148;) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related
statements of operations, changes in shareholders&#146; deficit, and cash flows for
the year ended December 31, 2010 and the period September 1, 2009 (date of
inception) to December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Trust&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Trust at December 31, 2010 and 2009,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 2010 and the period September 1, 2009 (date of inception) to
December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>We have also audited, in accordance with the standards
    of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Trust&#146;s
    internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based
    on the criteria established in <I>Internal Control &#150; Integrated Framework </I>issued
    by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and
    our report dated March 14, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Trust&#146;s
    internal control over financial reporting.</FONT></P>

 <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The 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 the Sponsor, and (4) has established an Authorized
 Participant Unallocated Account with the Trust&#146;s Custodian or other gold
 bullion clearing bank. 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 and any cash 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 bullion clearing bank by an Authorized Participant.</FONT></P> </TD>

 <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust is classified as a &#147;grantor trust&#148; for U.S. federal income
 tax purposes. As a result, the Trust itself will not be subject to U.S.
 federal income tax. Instead, the Trust&#146;s income and expenses will &#147;flow through&#148;
 to the Shareholders, and the Trustee will report the Trust&#146;s proceeds,
 income, deductions, gains, and losses to the Internal Revenue Service on that
 basis. The Trust has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;)
 Accounting Standards Codification (&#147;ASC&#148;) 740-10, <I>Income Taxes</I> (formerly
 FASB Interpretation Number 48, <I>Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes</I>).
 FASB ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement
 attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
 position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FASB ASC 740-10 also
 provides guidance on the related derecognition, classification, interest and
 penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition of
 uncertain tax positions. The Sponsor has evaluated the effects of FASB ASC
 740-10 and has determined that it does not have a significant effect on the
 financial position or results of operations of the Trust.</FONT></P> </TD>

 <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)&nbsp;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)&nbsp;investors&#146; expectations with
 respect to the rate of inflation; (iii)&nbsp;currency exchange rates;
 (iv)&nbsp;interest rates; (v)&nbsp;investment and trading activities of hedge
 funds and commodity funds; and (vi)&nbsp;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 effect on the
 Trust&#146;s financial position and results of operations.</FONT></P> </TD>

Baskets of Shares and will have no binding effect upon the Trust or any other

above, a Purchase Order will be a binding agreement among the Trust and the

in the communication sent in compliance with Section 3.01c. above, to the
account indicated by the redeeming Authorized Participant in its Redemption
Order (which shall be an appropriate bullion account with an LBMA member
or LPPM member, as applicable for the type of Bullion involved). With respect
to Gold from the ETFS Gold Trust and ETFS Asian Gold Trust and where the
Authorized Participant elects loco London delivery, the Authorized Participant
must first agree to the cost of the loco swap with the Custodian and reimburse
the Custodian for any amount owed under such swap. Having made such Delivery,
the Custodian shall send written confirmation thereof to the Trustee who shall
then cancel the Shares so redeemed. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. In all other cases, Delivery must be completed
by the Custodian as soon as, in the reasonable judgment of the Custodian, it is
practicable following receipt of written confirmation from the Trustee that the
conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 3.01d. above have been
satisfied. </FONT></P>

neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall be liable for any failure or delay
in making Delivery of Bullion in respect of a Redemption Order arising from
nuclear fission or fusion, radioactivity, war, terrorist event, invasion,
insurrection, civil commotion, riot, strike, act of government, public
authority, public service or utility problems, power outages resulting in
telephone, telecopy and computer failures, act of God such as fires, floods,
extreme weather conditions, market conditions or activities causing trading
halts, systems failures involving computer or other information systems
affecting a Trust, the Trustee, the Custodian or sub-custodian, metal clearing
bank delays and similar extraordinary events beyond the Trustee&#146;s control. In
the event of any such delay, the time to complete Delivery in respect of a
Redemption Order will be extended for a period equal to that during which the inability
to perform continues. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g. In the event that, by 4:00 p.m. (New York
time) on the second Business Day following the Order Date of a Redemption
Order, Trustee&#146;s account at DTC shall not have been credited with the total
number of Shares corresponding to the total number of Baskets to be redeemed
pursuant to such Redemption Order, the Trustee shall send to the Authorized
Participant and the Custodian via fax or electronic mail message notice of such
fact and the Authorized Participant shall have two (2) Business Days following
receipt of such notice to correct such failure. If such failure is not cured
within such two (2) Business Day period, the Trustee (in consultation with the
Sponsor) will cancel such Redemption Order and will send via fax or electronic
mail message notice of such cancellation to the Authorized Participant and the
Custodian, and the Authorized Participant will be solely responsible for all
costs incurred by the Trust, the Trustee or the Custodian related to the
cancelled Order. The Trustee is authorized to Deliver the Basket Amount for a
Redemption Order notwithstanding that the Basket(s) to be redeemed are not
credited to the Trustee&#146;s DTC account by 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third
Business Day following the Order Date of a Redemption Order if the Authorized
Participant has collateralized its obligation to deliver the Baskets through
DTC&#146;s book entry system on such terms as the Sponsor and the Trustee may from
time to time agree upon. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE=2>ANNEX II TO CREATION AND REDEMPTION
PROCEDURES</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE=2>ORDER ENTRY SYSTEM TERMS AND CONDITIONS</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Annex
II shall govern use by Authorized Participant of the electronic order entry
system for placing Purchase Orders and Redemption Orders for Shares (the &#147;<B>System</B>&#148;). Capitalized terms used but not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in
Schedule 1 of the Authorized Participant Agreement. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of this Annex II and the main body of the Authorized
Participant Agreement with respect to the placing of Purchase Orders and
Redemption Orders, the terms of this Annex II shall control. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>1. (a) Authorized
Participant shall provide to The Bank of New York Mellon a duly executed
authorization letter, in a form satisfactory to The Bank of New York Mellon,
identifying those authorized persons who will access the System (the &#147;<B>Authorized Persons</B>&#148;). Authorized
Participant shall notify The Bank of New York Mellon in writing in the event
that any person&#146;s status as an Authorized Person is revoked or terminated as
soon as possible, in order to give The Bank of New York Mellon a reasonable
opportunity to terminate such Authorized Person&#146;s access to the System. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) It is
understood and agreed that each Authorized Person shall be designated as an
authorized user of Authorized Participant for the purpose of the Authorized
Participant Agreement. Upon termination of the Authorized Participant
Agreement, the Authorized Participant&#146;s and each Authorized Person&#146;s access
rights with respect to System shall be immediately revoked. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>2. The Bank of New York Mellon grants to Authorized Participant a
personal, nontransferable and nonexclusive license to use the System solely for
the purpose of transmitting Purchase Orders and Redemption Orders and otherwise
communicating with The Bank of New York Mellon in connection with the same.
Authorized Participant shall use the System solely for its own internal and
proper business purposes. Except as set forth herein, no license or right of
any kind is granted to Authorized Participant with respect to the System.
Authorized Participant acknowledges that The Bank of New York Mellon and its
suppliers retain and have title and exclusive proprietary rights to the System.
Authorized Participant further acknowledges that all or a part of the System
may be copyrighted or trademarked (or a registration or claim made therefor) by
The Bank of New York Mellon or its suppliers. Authorized Participant shall not
take any action with respect to the System inconsistent with the foregoing
acknowledgments. Authorized Participant may not copy, distribute, sell, lease
or provide, directly or indirectly, the System or any portion thereof to any
other person or entity without The Bank of New York Mellon&#146;s prior written
consent. Authorized Participant may not remove any statutory copyright notice
or other notice included in the System. Authorized Participant shall reproduce
any such notice on any reproduction of any portion of the System and shall add
any statutory copyright notice or other notice upon The Bank of New York
Mellon&#146;s request. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>2. (a) Authorized Participant acknowledges that any user manuals or
other documentation (whether in hard copy or electronic form) (collectively,
the &#147;<B>Material</B>&#148;), which is
delivered or made available to Authorized Participant regarding the System is
the exclusive and confidential property of The Bank of New York Mellon.
Authorized Participant shall keep the Material confidential by using the same
care and discretion that Authorized Participant uses with respect to its own
confidential property and trade secrets, but in no event less than reasonable
care. Authorized Participant may make such copies of the Material as is
reasonably necessary for Authorized Participant to use the System and shall
reproduce The Bank of New York Mellon&#146;s proprietary markings on any such copy.
The foregoing shall not in any way be deemed to affect the copyright status of
any of the Material which may be copyrighted and shall apply to all Material
whether or not copyrighted. THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON AND ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE
NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THE MATERIAL OR ANY PRODUCT OR
SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. </FONT></P>

<HR NOSHADE ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="100%" SIZE=4><P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE='PAGE-BREAK-BEFORE: ALWAYS'></P><PAGE>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>(b) Upon termination of the Authorized Participant Agreement for any
reason, Authorized Participant shall return to The Bank of New York Mellon all
copies of the Material which is in Authorized Participant&#146;s possession or under
its control. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>3. Authorized Participant agrees that it shall have sole responsibility
for maintaining adequate security and control of the user IDs, passwords and
codes for access to the System, which shall not be disclosed to any third party
without the prior written consent of The Bank of New York Mellon. The Bank of
New York Mellon shall be entitled to rely on the information received by it
from the Authorized Participant and The Bank of New York Mellon may assume that
all such information was transmitted by or on behalf of an Authorized Person
regardless of by whom it was actually transmitted. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>4. The Bank of New York Mellon shall have no liability in connection
with the use of the System, the access granted to the Authorized Participant
and its Authorized Persons hereunder, or any transaction effected or attempted
to be effected by the Authorized Participant hereunder, except for damages
incurred by the Authorized Participant as a direct result of The Bank of New
York Mellon&#146;s gross negligence or willful misconduct. WITHOUT LIMITING THE
GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, IT IS HEREBY AGREED THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL THE
BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON OR ANY MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER OF EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE
OR SERVICES BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH THE AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANT MAY INCUR OR EXPERIENCE
BY REASON OF ITS HAVING ENTERED INTO OR RELIED ON THIS AGREEMENT, OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE ACCESS GRANTED TO AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANT HEREUNDER, OR ANY
TRANSACTION EFFECTED OR ATTEMPTED TO BE EFFECTED BY AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANT
HEREUNDER, EVEN IF THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON OR SUCH MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, NOR SHALL THE BANK OF NEW
YORK MELLON OR ANY SUCH MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER BE LIABLE FOR ACTS OF GOD,
MACHINE OR COMPUTER BREAKDOWN OR MALFUNCTION, INTERRUPTION OR MALFUNCTION OF
COMMUNICATION FACILITIES, LABOR DIFFICULTIES OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR OR DISSIMILAR
CAUSE BEYOND SUCH PERSON&#146;S REASONABLE CONTROL. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>5. The Bank of New York Mellon reserves the right to revoke Authorized
Participant&#146;s access to the System immediately and without notice upon any
breach by the Authorized Participant of the terms and conditions of this Annex
II. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>6. The Bank of New York Mellon shall acknowledge through the System its
receipt of each Purchase Order or Redemption Order communicated through the
System, and in the absence of such acknowledgment The Bank of New York Mellon
shall not be liable for any failure to act in accordance with such orders and
Authorized Participant may not claim that such Purchase Order or Redemption
Order was received by The Bank of New York Mellon. The Bank of New York Mellon
may in its discretion decline to act upon any instructions or communications
that are insufficient or incomplete or are not received by The Bank of New York
Mellon in sufficient time for The Bank of New York Mellon to act upon, or in
accordance with such instructions or communications. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.
Authorized Participant agrees to use reasonable efforts to prevent the
transmission through the System of any software or file which contains any
viruses, worms, harmful component or corrupted data and agrees not to use any
device, software, or routine to interfere or attempt to interfere with the
proper working of the Systems. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
1.01. <U>Authorization to Purchase and Redeem Baskets</U>. Subject to the
provisions of the Authorized Participant Agreement, during the term of the
Authorized Participant Agreement the Authorized Participant will be authorized
to purchase and redeem Baskets of Shares in compliance with the provisions of
the relevant Prospectus. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
1.02. <U>Procedures for Orders</U>. Each party hereto agrees to comply with the
provisions of the relevant Prospectus and the Procedures to the extent
applicable to it. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
1.03. <U>Consent to Recording</U>. The phone lines used by the Trustee, the
Custodian, the Sponsor and/or their affiliated persons may be recorded, and the
Authorized Participant hereby consents to the recording of all calls with any
of those parties. In the event that the Trustee, the Custodian, the Sponsor or
any of their affiliated persons becomes legally compelled to disclose to any
third party any recording involving communications with the Authorized
Participant, the Sponsor agrees to provide the Authorized Participant with
reasonable advance written notice identifying the recordings to be so disclosed
unless prohibited by applicable rule, law or order, together with copies of
such recordings, so that the Authorized Participant may seek a protective order
or other appropriate remedy with respect to the recordings or waive its right
to do so. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not
obtained or the Authorized Participant waives its right to seek such protective
order or remedy, the Sponsor will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the recorded
conversation. The Trustee, the Sponsor or any of their affiliated persons shall
not otherwise disclose to any third party any recording involving
communications with the Authorized Participant without the Authorized Participant&#146;s
express written consent, except the Trustee and the Sponsor may disclose to any
regulatory or self-regulatory organization, to the extent required by
applicable rule or law, any recording involving communications with the
Authorized Participant. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
1.04. <U>Irrevocability</U>. The Authorized Participant agrees that delivery to
the Trustee of an Order shall be irrevocable; provided that the Trust will
reject any Order that is not properly completed. In the event that the purchase
or redemption of Baskets is suspended by the Trustee or the Sponsor and such
suspension affects any Order submitted by the Authorized Participant, the
Trustee or Sponsor, as applicable, will promptly notify the Authorized
Participant of such suspension. In such case, the Sponsor agrees to undertake
commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate any request by the Authorized
Participant to cancel a previously placed Order. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
1.05. <U>Costs and Expenses</U>. The Authorized Participant shall be responsible
for the expenses and costs incurred by the Trust that can be directly
attributable to Orders submitted by the Authorized Participant other than
ordinary course expenses and costs which are reimbursed</FONT></P>

Procedures. The Trustee or the Sponsor shall provide the Authorized Participant
with reasonably detailed information relating to such expenses and costs upon
request by the Authorized Participant. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
1.06. <U>Delivery of Property to the Trust and Shares Surrendered for
Redemption</U>. The Authorized Participant understands and agrees that in the
event Deposit Property is not transferred to the Trust by the time specified
for the Purchase Order, or Shares are not delivered to the Trustee by the time
specified for the Redemption Order and, in each such case, in compliance with
the Procedures and the relevant Prospectus, the Purchase Order or Redemption
Order may be cancelled by the Trustee and the Authorized Participant will be solely
responsible for all costs incurred by the Trust, the Trustee or the Custodian
related to the cancelled Order. The Authorized Participant will not, however,
be responsible for costs incurred by the Trust, the Trustee, or the Custodian
related to cancelled Orders where the failure to transfer Deposit Property to
the Trust is due to the gross negligence, bad faith, or reckless or willful
misconduct of the Trustee, the Sponsor, or the Custodian. The foregoing
provisions notwithstanding, the Authorized Participant shall not be liable for
any failure or delay in making Delivery of Bullion in respect of a Purchase
Order or for any failure or delay in surrendering Shares for redemption arising
from nuclear fission or fusion, radioactivity, war, terrorist event, invasion,
insurrection, civil commotion, riot, strike, act of government, public
authority, public service or utility problems, power outages resulting in
telephone, telecopy and computer failures, acts of God, such as fires, floods,
extreme weather conditions, market conditions or activities causing trading
halts, systems failures involving computer or other information systems
affecting the Authorized Participant, or similar extraordinary events beyond
the Authorized Participant&#146;s control. In the event of any such delay, the time
to complete Delivery in respect of a Purchase Order or Redemption Order will be
extended for a period equal to that during which the inability to perform
continues. Upon the deposit of any Bullion, the Authorized Participant as Depositor
represents and warrants that (i) the Bullion meets the relevant requirements to
be such Bullion and contains the required number of Ounces, (ii) the Authorized
Participant is duly authorized to make such deposit of Bullion and (iii) at the
time of delivery, the Bullion is free and clear of any lien, pledge,
encumbrance, right, charge or claim.</FONT></P>

 respect of any Deposit Property transferred to the Trust that, based on the
 valuation of such Deposit Property at the time of transfer, should have been

 Likewise, the Authorized Participant acknowledges and agrees to return to the

 respect to any Redemption Order, the Authorized Participant on behalf of
 itself and any Authorized Participant Client acknowledges and agrees to
 return to the Trust any payment, distribution or other amount paid to it or
 an Authorized Participant Client in respect of any property transferred to
 the Authorized Participant or any Authorized Participant Client that, based
 on the valuation of such property at the time of transfer, should have been

 property due to the Authorized Participant or any Authorized Participant
 Client by an amount equal to any payment, distribution or other sum to be
 paid to the Authorized Participant or to the Authorized Participant Client in
 respect of any property transferred to the Authorized Participant or any
 Authorized Participant Client that, based on the valuation of such property
 at the time of transfer, should be paid to the Trust. If, however, the
 Trustee so reduces an amount of any property appropriately due to the
 Authorized Participant, the Authorized Participant shall not be required to
 return to the Trust payments, distributions or other amounts equal to such
 reduction that has been paid to the Authorized Participant or the Authorized
 Participant Client as is contemplated in the first sentence of this Section
 1.08(b). Likewise, the Trust acknowledges and agrees to return to the

the related telephone call or email transmission, the Trustee will attempt to
contact the Authorized Participant to request confirmation of the terms of the
order at the telephone number indicated in the Purchase Order or Redemption
Order. If an Authorized Representative confirms the terms as they appear in the

processed. If an Authorized Representative contradicts the terms of the
Purchase Order or Redemption Order, the order will be deemed invalid, and a
corrected Purchase Order or Redemption Order must be received by the Trustee
not later than the earlier of (i) within fifteen (15) minutes of such contact
with the Authorized Representative or (ii) thirty (30) minutes after the Order
Cutoff Time. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the invalidation of

initial submission for purposes of determining when orders are deemed
&#147;received.&#148; If the Trustee is not able to contact an Authorized Person, then
the Purchase Order or Redemption Order shall be accepted and processed in
accordance with its terms notwithstanding any inconsistency from the terms of
the telephone information. In the event that a Purchase Order or Redemption
Order contains terms that are illegible, the submission will be deemed invalid
and the Trustee will attempt to contact the Authorized Participant to request
retransmission. A corrected Purchase Order or Redemption Order must be received
by the Trustee, as applicable, not later than the earlier of (i) within fifteen
(15) minutes of such contact with the Authorized Participant or (ii) thirty

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
2.01. <U>Certification</U>. Concurrently with the execution of the Authorized
Participant Agreement, the Authorized Participant shall deliver to the Trustee
a certificate in a form as attached at Schedule 3-A to the Authorized
Participant Agreement (an &#147;<B>Authorized
Representative Certificate</B>&#148;) signed by the Authorized Participant&#146;s
Secretary or other duly authorized person setting forth the names, signatures,
e-mail addresses and telephone and facsimile numbers of all persons authorized
to give instructions relating to any activity contemplated hereby or any other
notice, request or instruction on behalf of the Authorized Participant (each an
&#147;<B>Authorized Representative</B>&#148;). Such
certificate may be accepted and relied upon by the Trustee as conclusive
evidence of the facts set forth therein and shall be considered to be in full
force and effect until (i) receipt by the Trustee of a superseding Authorized
Representative Certificate, or (ii) termination of the Authorized Participant
Agreement. After such Authorized Representative Certificate is accepted by the
Trustee, the Authorized Participant may authorize additional Authorized
Representatives to give instructions relating to any activity contemplated
hereby or any other notice, request or instruction on behalf of the Authorized
Participant by delivering to the Trustee an addendum to the certificate
described above in a form as attached at Schedule 3-B to the Authorized
Participant Agreement. </FONT></P>

Participant shall be identified and instructions issued by the Authorized

and only provided to Authorized Representatives. The Authorized Participant may
revoke the PIN Number at any time upon written notice to the Trustee, and the
Authorized Participant shall be responsible for doing so in the event that it
becomes aware that an unauthorized person has received access to its PIN Number
or has or intends to use the PIN Number in an unauthorized manner. Upon receipt
of such written request, the Trustee shall, as promptly as practicable,
de-activate the PIN Number. If an Authorized Participant&#146;s PIN Number is
changed, the new PIN Number will become effective on a date mutually agreed
upon by the Authorized Participant and the Trustee. Except as otherwise
provided in these Standard Terms, the Authorized Participant agrees that,
absent the Trustee&#146;s fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or reckless or willful
misconduct in failing to cancel the PIN Number promptly following a written
request to do so from the Authorized Participant or the termination of the
Authorized Participant Agreement, none of the Trust or the Trustee shall be

authority of an Authorized Representative by the Authorized Participant, the
Authorized Participant shall (i) give, as promptly as practicable under the
circumstances, written notice of such fact to the Trustee and such notice shall
be effective upon receipt by the Trustee; and (ii) request a new PIN Number.
The Trustee shall, as promptly as practicable, de-activate the PIN Number upon
receipt of such written notice. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
2.04. <U>Verification</U>. The Trustee may assume that all instructions issued
to it using the Authorized Participant&#146;s PIN Number have been properly placed
by Authorized Representatives, unless the Trustee has actual knowledge to the
contrary or the Authorized Participant has revoked its PIN Number. The Trustee
shall have no duty to verify that an Order is being placed by an Authorized
Representative that uses a valid PIN Number. The Authorized Participant agrees
that the Trustee shall not be responsible, absent the Trustee&#146;s fraud, gross
negligence, bad faith or reckless or willful misconduct, for any losses
incurred by the Authorized Participant as a result of an Authorized
Representative identifying himself or herself as a different Authorized
Representative or an unauthorized person identifying himself or herself as an
Authorized Representative, unless the Trustee previously received from the
Authorized Participant written notice to revoke its PIN Number. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section

qualified to act as a broker or dealer in the states or other jurisdictions
where it transacts business to the extent so required by applicable law, and

that it will maintain such registrations, qualifications, and membership in
good standing and in full force and effect throughout the term of the
Authorized Participant Agreement. The Authorized Participant further agrees to
comply with all applicable U.S. federal laws, the laws of the states or other
jurisdictions concerned, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable to the Authorized Participant&#146;s
transactions in Shares, and with the FINRA By-Laws and Conduct Rules of the
NASD (or with comparable FINRA Conduct Rules, if such NASD Conduct Rules are

selling Shares in jurisdictions outside the several states, territories and
possessions of the United States and is not otherwise required to be
registered, qualified, or a member of FINRA as set forth in the preceding
paragraph, the Authorized Participant nevertheless agrees to observe the
applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such offer and/or sale is made and

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
3.05. <U>Authorized Participant Status</U>. The Authorized Participant understands
and acknowledges that the method by which Baskets of Shares will be created and
traded may raise certain issues under applicable securities laws. For example,
because new Baskets of Shares may be issued and sold by the Trust on an ongoing
basis, at any point a &#147;distribution&#148;, as such term is used in the 1933 Act, may
occur. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
4.01. <U>No Agency</U>. The Authorized Participant acknowledges and agrees that
for all purposes of the Authorized Participant Agreement, the Authorized
Participant will have no authority to act as agent for the Trust or the Trustee
in any matter or in any respect. The Authorized Participant agrees to make
itself and its employees available, upon reasonable request, during normal
business hours to consult with the Trustee, the Sponsor or their designees
concerning the performance of the Authorized Participant&#146;s responsibilities
under the Authorized Participant Agreement; <I>provided,

or solicitation of a sale of Shares, it will not make, or permit any of its
representatives to make on its behalf, any representations concerning Shares
other than those not inconsistent with the Trust&#146;s then current Prospectus or
any promotional materials or sales literature furnished to the Authorized
Participant by the Sponsor. The Authorized Participant agrees not to furnish or
cause to be furnished to any person or display or publish any information or
materials relating to Shares (excluding, without limitation, promotional
materials and sales literature, advertisements, press releases, announcements,
statements, posters, signs or other similar materials not inconsistent with the
Trust&#146;s then current Prospectus and in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations, and any materials prepared and used for the Authorized
Participant&#146;s internal use only or brokerage communications prepared by the
Authorized Participant in the normal course of its business), except such
information and materials as may be furnished to the Authorized Participant by
the Sponsor and such other information and materials as may be approved in
writing by the Sponsor. The Authorized Participant understands that the Trust
will not be advertised as offering redeemable securities, and that any advertising
materials will prominently disclose that the Shares are not redeemable units of
beneficial interest in the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authorized
Participant and its Affiliates and representatives may, without the approval of

<P><FONT SIZE=2>b. Designed
such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control
