    RISK FACTORS.
 We depend upon one customer who accounts for at least 10% of our sales. We cannot be certain that
these sales will continue; if they do not, our revenues will likely decline.
  We face significant competition from larger competitors in our wholesale and retail operations.
  There are numerous factors relating to the operations of our business that could adversely affect
our success and results.
  
    
    technological developments in the mass production of jewelry;
    
    our ability to meet the design and production requirements of our customers
efficiently;
    
    the market acceptance of our and our customers jewelry;
    
    increases in expenses associated with continued sales growth;
    
    our ability to control costs;
    
    our managements ability to evaluate the publics taste and new orders to target
satisfactory profit margins;
    
    our capacity to develop and manage the introduction of new designed products; and
    
    our ability to compete.

Our production facilities are located in China. Our results of operations and financial condition
may, therefore, be influenced by the economic, political, legal and social conditions in China.
  Changes to PRC tax laws may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations in
the future.
  Our products are currently made at our production facility located in Shenzhen, China. However,
our insurance may not adequately cover any losses due to fire, casualty or theft.

Sales of our jewelry to retailers are generally stronger during the quarter ending December 31 of
each year due to the importance of the holiday selling season.
  The success of our retail store expansion program in China is dependent upon numerous factors over
which we have limited control.
  We rely on short-term financing from banks for our daily operation.
   We rely geographically on the US market for the majority of our revenue.
  Our holding company structure creates restrictions on the payment of dividends.

Our Business Strategy
  
    
    increase our market share of moderately priced high-quality gem-set colored and
precious jewelry by capitalizing on our vertically integrated production processes to
produce diamond and high-end precious stone jewelry in addition to high volume,
high-quality colored products;
    
    further develop our existing customer relationships with our specialized services;
and
    
    expand aggressively into new distribution channels, particularly in the United
States, China, Western Europe, Japan and Australia.
  
    
    marketing a line of sterling silver jewelry. These are typically merchandised with
a retail price range of $30 to $150;
    
    adding more lines into our LORENZO branded products with a retail price range of
$199 to $999; and

adding diamonds to some of our settings, as well as offering newly designed jewelry.


    
    large and growing jewelry market  we estimate that Chinas jewelry sales totaled
nearly $17 billion in 2006, up 15% year over year.
    
    large pool of consumers  China has a population of 1.3 billion people. We estimate
that roughly 160 million Chinese have enough income to purchase luxury goods.
    
    favorable regulatory changes  as a member of the World Trade Organization, China is
eliminating many restrictions on foreign ownership and operation of retail stores.
Tariffs on colored gemstones, gold, silver and pearls have been sharply reduced, and
economic and trade relationships between China and Hong Kong have been liberalized.
    
    changing consumer preferences  Chinese consumers are no longer purchasing jewelry
solely as an investment. More Chinese consumers are embracing a more Western view of
jewelry as a fashion accessory and now demand more contemporary, colorful designs.
   
    
    expanding our retail jewelry market in China by planning to open at least 100 ENZO
stores in China by the beginning of 2008
    
    promoting visits with customers to coordinate and cater to their particular
promotional sales needs and monitoring their on-hand inventory in order to promote more
active sell-through
    
    expanding our distribution channels to include all major TV shopping programs in
North America, Japan, Korea and Australia and further developing business with top-40
Retail Jewelry Chains in the US.

    NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTSLJ International Inc. (LJI), its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (VIEs)
(collectively referred as the Company) are principally involved in the design, manufacture,
marketing, sale of precious and color gemstones as well as diamond jewelry. While the
Company is based in Hong Kong, its manufacturing operations are in the Peoples Republic of
China (PRC) and most of its sales are currently in the United States of America (US). The
retail shops are located in the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau. The Company also owns certain
commercial and residential properties located in Hong Kong, which are held primarily for
lease.2.
    
    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 (a)
    
    Basis of accountingThe financial statements are prepared in accordance with US generally accepted
accounting principles (US GAAP).(b)
    
    Principles of consolidation and goodwillThe consolidated financial statements include the financial information of LJI, its
subsidiaries and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The results of
subsidiaries and VIEs acquired or disposed of during the year are consolidated from or
to their effective dates of acquisition or disposal respectively. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46(R)). FIN 46(R) requires certain
variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the
entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a
controlling financial interest nor do not have sufficient equity at risk for the
entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support
from other parties.VIEs are owned by individuals, who are acting as agents for the Company.
The Company does not have any ownership interest in VIEs. LJI is incorporated in
the BVI and is considered a foreign entity under the PRC laws. Prior to 2006, due
to the restrictions on foreign ownership on the retail business of jewelry, the
Company, through loans to the agents, established VIEs to carry out the retail
business of jewelry in the PRC. Pursuant to various agreements entered into
between the Company, the owners of VIEs and VIEs, the Company generally has control
of VIEs, absorbs majority of expected losses and receives majority of residual
return of VIEs. The Company is therefore considered the primary beneficiary of
VIEs. Accordingly, the results of VIEs have been consolidated in the financial
statements of the Company since they become VIEs of the Company. With the

 relaxation of the restrictions on foreign ownership on retail business, the agents of
one of the VIE have transferred the ownership of the VIE back to the Company in
September 2006, the agents of another VIE are in the process of transferring the
ownership of the VIE back to the Company.The application of the consolidation provisions of FIN 46(R) resulted in a
decrease in assets and an increase in liabilities as of December 31, 2006 by
US$3,098 and US$1,358 respectively and a decrease in assets and an increase in
liabilities as of December 31, 2005 by US$4,586 and US$1,882 respectively and
increase in net loss of US$580 and US$1,248 and US$223 for each of three years
ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 respectively.Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of
the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is reviewed for
impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No.
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets(Statement 142). The goodwill impairment test
is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is
compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the
reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment
exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment
test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of
the carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill over the implied fair value of that
goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value
of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance
with FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. The residual fair value after this
allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the
reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value
of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be
performed.The Company performed its annual impairment review of goodwill, and
resulting in US$Nil in 2006, US$1,291 included in statement of operations as an
extraordinary item in 2005 and US$698 impairment loss in 2004.(c)

 (i)
    
    Product salesProduct sales represent the invoiced value of products sold, net of value added taxes
(VAT). The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products when the following
criteria are met: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (sales agreements
and customer purchase orders are used to determine the existence of an arrangement);
2) delivery of the product has occurred and risks and benefits of ownership have been
transferred, which is when the product is received by the customer at its or a
designated location in accordance with the sales terms; 3) the sales price is fixed
or determinable; and 4) collectibility is probable.In the PRC, VAT at a general rate of 17% on invoice amount is collected on behalf of
tax authorities in respect of the sales of products and is not recorded as revenue.
VAT collected from customers, net of VAT paid for purchases, is recorded as a
liability in the consolidated balance sheets until it is paid to the authorities.(ii)
    
    Service IncomeService income represents services performed for improving and upgrading gemstones
into saleable quality. On August 11, 2006 the Company entered into a Joint
Collaboration Agreement (the Agreement) with an Agent who is not a related party.
The Company was responsible for and paid the cost of servicing and upgrading
performed to bring gemstones to the form of fine jewelry ready for sale.
The servicing income in the amount of $4,130 is included in servicing income on the
consolidated statement of operations.(iii)
    
    Rental incomeRental income receivable under operating lease is recognized in the consolidated
statements of income in equal installments over the period covered by the
lease term.(iv)
    
    Other income represents:Interest income is accrued on a time proportion basis on the principal outstanding
and at the interest rate applicable.
 (d)
    
    Sales return reserveThe Company has allowed sales returns and its sales generally include specified return
policy for certain customers. The Company reserves for sales returns as a reduction of
revenue at the time the operating revenue is recognized based on historical sales return
experience and agreed terms of sales return stated in the contracts with certain
specific customers.(e)
    
    Shipping and handling costsThe shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. Shipping and
handling costs were US$2,991, US$3,135 and US$2,779 for the years ended December 31,
2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

    Advertising and promotion costsAdvertising and promotion expenses are generally expensed when incurred. Advertising
costs were US$1,321, US$1,092 and US$364 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and
2004, respectively.(g)
    
    Earnings per shareThe calculation of basic earnings per share is based on net income for the year
attributable to shareholders and on the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the year.The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on net income for the year
attributable to shareholders and on the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the year, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary
shares. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings
per share by application of the if-converted method. 396,001 warrants were not included
in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2006
because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the year.(h)
    
    Fair value of financial instrumentsThe financial instruments used by the Company in the normal course of business,
including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, notes payable
and letter of credit, gold and other loans, have fair values which approximate their
recorded value as the financial instruments are either short term in nature or carry
interest rate that approximate market rates.(i)
    
    Accounts receivableTrade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear
interest. Amounts collected on trade receivables are included in net cash provided
by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company
maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its
trade receivable portfolio and purchases trade credit insurance to cover the risk
of collectibilities. In establishing the required allowance, management considers
historical losses, current receivables aging, and existing industry and national
economic data. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts regularly.
Past due balances over 120 days and over a specified amount are reviewed
individually for collectibility. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis
by aging of such balances. Account balances are charged off against the allowance
after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is
considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure
related to its customers, except for outstanding bills discounted with banks (see
Note 9), that are subject to recourse for non-payment.

    InventoriesInventories are stated at the lower of cost and market. Cost, which comprises all costs
of purchase and, where applicable, costs of conversion and other costs that have
been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition,
including inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving cost, inspection costs
and internal transfer costs, is calculated using the weighted average costing
method. Estimated losses on inventories represent reserves for obsolescence,
excess quantities, irregulars and slow moving inventory, and which are charged to
cost of goods sold. The Company estimates the loss/write-down on the basis of its
assessment of the inventorys net realizable value based upon current market
conditions and historical experience.Effective January 1, 2005, the Company changed its method of valuing its inventory from
the first-in, first-out method to the monthly weighted average costing method.
Management believes the weighted average costing method results in a better matching of
current costs with current revenues and minimizes the effect of price level changes on
inventory valuation. The cumulative effect of this accounting change for years prior to
2005 and the effects of retroactive application of the weighted average costing method
to prior years are immaterial. The effect of the change in 2005 was to increase net
income of the Company by US$35.

    Properties held for leaseProperties held for lease are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation, which
is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Rental income from these properties is recorded on a monthly basis in
accordance with the lease terms.(l)
    
    Property, plant and equipment (PPE) and depreciationPPE are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss,
and include expenditure that substantially increases the useful lives of existing
assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations as incurred. Upon
sale, retirement, or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment loss are removed from the respective accounts,
and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statement of operations. Plant and
equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease
payments.Depreciation on PPE is calculated by using the straight-line method (after taking into
account their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of
the related assets at the following annual rates:
 Leasehold land and buildings
    
    2% or over the unexpired term of leasesLeasehold improvement
    
    shorter of 10% or the unexpired term of leasesFurniture, fixtures and equipment
    
    20% to 50%Plant and machinery
    
    10%Motor vehicles
    
    10% to 20%
 Depreciation on PPE attributable to manufacturing activities is capitalized as part of
inventory, and expensed to cost of goods sold as inventory is sold. Depreciation
related to abnormal amounts from idle capacity is charged to cost of goods sold for the
period incurred. Total depreciation for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and
2004 were US$ 2,039, US$1,368 and US$1,032, respectively.(m)
    
    Impairment of long-lived assetsIn accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived
asset be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted
cash flows expected to be generated by an asset to the carrying value of the asset.
If the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an
undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the
carrying value exceeds it fair value. Fair value is determined through various
valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values
and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

    Available-for-sale securitiesThe Company classifies its investment in capital guaranteed fund as available-for-sale
securities. The fund is restricted and secures obligations under trade credit banking
facilities. It is carried at market value with a corresponding recognition of net
unrealized holding gain or loss (net of tax) as a separate component of shareholders
equity until realized. Unrealized losses are charged against net earnings when a
decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary. Gains and losses on
sales of securities are computed on a specific identification basis. Available-for-sale

    Gold loans and embedded derivativeGold loans are commodity-indexed debts with an embedded derivative. The loan is
recorded at its original amount and adjusted for additional borrowings and repayments.
The embedded derivative component was valued at fair value, considering the market price
of gold, volatility of gold and the time value of money. Any changes in fair value of
embedded derivative are included in the consolidated statement of operations and an
asset or liability representing the value of the embedded derivative portion is included
in the consolidated balance sheet.(p)
    
    DerivativesThe Company enters into derivative contracts to hedge the future settlement of gold
loans in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations. They consist of
contracts that are used to hedge against changes in the fair value of gold price when
the Company settles the gold loans.The derivative contracts and the embedded derivative are valued at fair value. Changes
in fair value of derivative contracts are included in the consolidated statement of
operations, net of changes in fair value of embedded derivative set out in note 2(o).

    Stock-based compensationStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment, (SFAS 123(R)) requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair
value of the award. The Company records the cost as expense over the offering period
and vesting term in connection with compensation expense for stock-based employee
compensation plans.Effective January 1, 2006, the Company began recording compensation expense for
stock-based employee compensation plans in accordance with SFAS 123(R) as interpreted
by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The Company adopted the modified prospective
transition method provided for under SFAS 123(R), and consequently has not
retroactively adjusted results from prior periods. Under this transition method,
compensation expense for stock-based employee compensation plans recognized for the
year ended December 31, 2006 now includes estimated expense for the portion of stock
options vesting in the period for options granted prior to, but not vested as of
January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123).There were no new stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2006. As of
December 31, 2006, the Company has three stock-based employee compensation plans,
details of which are set out in note 14(a).Prior to 1 January, 2006, the Company records compensation expense for stock-based
employee compensation plans using the intrinsic value method pursuant to APB Opinion
No. 25 in which compensation expense is measured as the excess of the market price of
the stock over the exercise price of the plan on the measurement date. Compensation
expense is charged to income as when incurred if the benefit was fully vested at the
date of grant or is recognized proportionately over the vesting period. Unearned
compensation is shown separately as a reduction of the shareholders equity.In 2004, the Company recorded an unearned compensation of US$48 in the shareholders
equity in relation to the option to purchase 150,000 shares of the common stock of the
Company granted to an employee, for which the exercise price was below the market price
of the underlying stock at the date of grant. This amount is accrued proportionately
as compensation expense over the vesting period. For each of the two years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized compensation expense of US$18 and
US$11 respectively in its statement of operations. Following the adoption of SFAS

    Stock-based compensation (Continued)123(R), the unearned compensation has been eliminated against the additional paid-in
capital. Other than the above, the exercise price of the Companys incentive stock
options was same as or higher than the market price of the underlying stock on the date
of grant, no compensation expense was recognized for these stock options granted to
employees.Had compensation expense for the same stock options been determined based on the fair
value on the date of grant and been amortized over the period from the date of grant to
the date that the award is vested, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the
Companys net income and earnings per share would have been reported as follows:

    Income taxesIncome taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable
to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides a valuation
allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated
realizable value.(s)
    
    Foreign currenciesLJIs functional currency is United States dollars. Transactions denominated in
currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate
prevailing at the dates of transactions. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses
are included in the consolidated statement of operations. The assets and liabilities of
subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than U.S. dollars, are translated at
the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and related revenue and expenses
are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Related transaction gains or
losses are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss).

    Foreign currencies (Continued)The aggregate transaction loss included in determining net income were US$465, US$273
and US$214 for each of the three years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004
respectively.(t)
    
    Cash equivalents and Pledged Bank DepositsCash consists of cash on hand, cash in bank accounts and interest-bearing savings
accounts. Cash deposits that are restricted as to withdrawal or pledged as security, are
disclosed separately on the face of the consolidated balance sheet, and not included in
the cash total for the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flow.(u)
    
    Uses of estimatesThe preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in accordance
with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the amounts reported in the consolidated financials statements and accompanying
notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the
carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and goodwill; valuation allowance
for receivables, inventories and deferred income tax asset; valuation of derivative
instruments; valuation of share-based compensation. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.(v)
    
    Related partiesParties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or
indirectly, to control the other party, or exercise significant influence over the other
party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be
related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.(w)
    
    DividendsThe Directors of the Company have never declared or paid any cash dividends on the
Companys capital stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable
future. The ability to pay dividends depends upon receipt of dividends or other
payments from subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. In addition, the
operating subsidiaries from time to time may be subject to restrictions on their ability
to make distributions to the Company, including as a result of restrictive covenants in
loan agreements, restrictions on the conversion of local currency into US dollars or
other currencies and other regulatory restrictions. Currently, none of the subsidiaries
has such restriction during the periods presented except for the covenants as set out in
note 9 to the financial statements.

    Comprehensive incomeThe Company reports comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130 Reporting
Comprehensive Income. Accumulated other comprehensive loss represents exchange translation
adjustments and unrealised holding gains on investment, and is included in the shareholders equity
section of the balance sheet.(y)
    
    New accounting pronouncementsIn July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. FIN 48 is
effective for years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the
adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on its financial statements.In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157),
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS 157 applies under other existing accounting pronouncements that require or permit
fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting
pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly,
SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the application of
this statement may change the current practice for fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the
adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on its financial statements.In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159) which permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not
currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will be effective for the
Company on January 1, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 will
have a material impact on its financial statements.

    ACQUISITIONSOn January 1, 2005, the Company paid US$2,828 for new issuance of 3,900 common stock of
Goldleaves International Limited (GIL), a company whose principal activities are the
manufacturing and trading of rough and pre-formed gemstones, in which the Company had 20%
equity interests and is classified as investment securities as of December 31, 2004. The
Company then became the major stockholder holding 98% equity interest in GIL, which became a
subsidiary of the Company. The directors of the Company consider such acquisition would
enhance the Company by forward and backward vertical integration.Details of the 78% share of identifiable assets and liabilities by the Company at the date
of acquisition are as follows:

written off against the Companys share of properties, plants and equipments acquired. The
remaining balance of US$1,291 was included in statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2005 as an extraordinary item.

    OPERATING RISKS
 (a)
    
    Concentrations of credit risksDetails of major customers from which the Company derived operating revenue are shown
in note 18(c).Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if
counterparties failed completely to perform as contracted. Concentrations of credit
risk (whether on or off balance sheet) that arise from financial instruments exist for
groups of customers or counterparties when there are similar economic characteristics
that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected
by changes in economic or other conditions. The major concentration of credit risk
arises from the Companys receivables. Even though the Company does have major
customers, it does not consider itself to be exposed to significant credit risk with
regards to collection of the related receivables. Historical losses have not been
significant.(b)
    
    Country risksThe Company may also be exposed to certain risks as a result of its manufacturing
operation being located in the PRC and its properties held for lease in Hong Kong which
are not typically associated with companies operating in North America and Western
Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and
legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Companys results may be
adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by
changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations,
anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and
methods of taxation, among other things. The Companys management believe these risks
not to be significant. There can be no assurance, however, that changes in political,
social and other conditions will not result in any adverse impact.(c)
    
    Cash and time depositsThe Company maintains majority of its cash balances and investments in time
deposits with various banks and financial institutions in Hong Kong. In common with
local practice, such amounts are not insured or otherwise protected should the
financial institutions be unable to meet their liabilities. There has been no history
of credit losses.

    INCOME TAXESIncome taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating losses and tax credit carry
forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected
to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred assets and liabilities of a change in tax

 In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation
of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become
deductible. The decrease in valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2006 was
US$1,049; for December 31, 2005 and 2004, increase in valuation allowance amounted to
US$2,237 and US$253 respectively.
 Based on the history of the Companys profitability, management believes that it is more
likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets of
US$111 and US$Nil, net of valuation allowances as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.

    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 (a)
    
    CommitmentsAs of December 31, 2006, the Company had capital expenditure commitments of US$152.(b)
    
    ContingenciesAs of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company provided guarantee in respect of
bank mortgage loans granted to a director, Mr. Yih Yu Chuan to the extent of US$158,
US$237 and US$307 respectively.(c)
    
    Legal ProceedingsDerivative Litigation.Two purported shareholder derivative lawsuits, Vaughn v.
Yih, et al. (Los Angeles Superior Court No. BC 378903) and Cooke vs. LJ, et al. (Los
Angeles Superior Court No. BC 380214), were filed in California in Los Angeles
County Superior Court on October 10 and November 5, 2007, respectively.The Plaintiffs in both actions, who purport to bring suit on behalf of the Company
against various of its officers and directors, did not make any demand on the Board
of Directors, nor did they apply for permission to the High Court of the British
Virgin Islands to bring this action. The complaints in the derivative actions
allege, among other things, that the defendants
caused the Company to issue a series of press releases, Securities and Exchange
Commission filings and other statements that significantly overstated the Companys
business prospects and financial results. They further allege that, as a result of
these statements, the Companys share price traded at artificially inflated levels,
and that defendants actions led to a delay in the release of the Companys
financial statements for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006 and the fiscal first
quarter of 2007. Plaintiffs purport to state causes of action for breach of
fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. By their
complaints, they seek, among other relief, unspecified damages to be paid to the
Company, corporate governance reforms, and equitable and injunctive relief,
including restitution and the creation of a constructive trust.The Defendants have not yet responded to the complaints. Initial responses to the
complaints are due in January 2008. The Company intends to vigorously defend against
the lawsuits. However, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted
with certainty.Securities Litigation.In September 2007, several plaintiffs filed shareholder class
actions in the United States District Court for the Central District of California

the Company and certain of its officers and directors, entitled Apple v. LJ
International, Inc., et al. (No. 07-06076), Cooper v. LJ International, Inc., et al.
(No. 07-06213), and Lieben v. LJ International Inc. et al. (No. 07-06216) (the
Class Actions). The Class Actions generally allege, on behalf of all persons who
purchased LJ common stock during the period from February 15, 2007 to September 6,
2007 (the Class Period), that LJ and the individual defendants made misleading
statements and omissions of material fact, overstating the Companys fiscal 2005 and
2006 financial results, and thereby artificially inflated the market price of LJs
common stock throughout the Class Period. Plaintiffs further allege that defendants
violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and
Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by releasing fiscal 2006 earnings and EPS results
that significantly understated the Companys tax liability and that overstated its
earnings and EPS, that the Companys internal controls were inadequate, and that, as
a result, defendants engaged in improper accounting practices. Plaintiffs seek an
unspecified amount of damages.The cases have all been referred to one judge and competing motions for appointment
as lead plaintiff and lead counsel are pending. The Company
anticipates that, following those appointments, the district court will consolidate
the cases and set a deadline for lead plaintiff to file an amended, consolidated
class action complaint that will supersede the pending complaints.The Company intends to vigorously defend against the Class Actions. However, the
ultimate outcome cannot be predicted with certainty.Besides the above-mentioned legal proceedings, we are exposed to certain asserted
and unasserted potential claims. There can be no assurance that, with respect to
potential claims made against us, we could resolve such claims under terms and
conditions that would not have a material adverse effect on our business, our
liquidity or financial results. Periodically, we review the status of each
significant matter and assess its potential financial exposure. If the potential
loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and a range of
possible losses can be estimated, we then accrue a liability for the estimated loss.
Any liability for estimated loss is based on the criteria in SFAS No. 5, Accounting
for Contingencies. Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes
are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, accruals are based only on
the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes
available, we reassess the potential liability related to pending claims and
litigation and may revise estimate. Presently, no accrual has been estimated under
SFAS No. 5 for potential losses that may or may not arise from the current lawsuits
in which we are involved. Accruals include billings for legal services preformed to
date and expected to be performed in the future in connection with the matters
described above.

    EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANSFollowing the introduction of the Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) legislation in Hong Kong,
the Company has participated in the defined contribution mandatory provident fund since
December 1, 2000. Both the Company and its employees in Hong Kong make monthly
contributions to the fund at 5% of the employees earnings as defined under Mandatory
Provident Fund legislation. The 5% monthly contribution of the Company and the employees
are subject to a cap of US$0.128 per month and thereafter contributions are voluntary. When
employees leave the MPF scheme prior to vesting fully in voluntary contributions, the
contributions payable by the Company are reduced by the amount of forfeited contributions.The amount of forfeitures in respect of the MPF scheme, which was available to reduce the
Companys contribution payable, for the year ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was
US$Nil, US$Nil and US$Nil respectively.The full-time employees of the PRC subsidiaries are entitled to staff welfare benefits,
including medical care, welfare subsidies, unemployment insurance and pension benefits.
These companies are required to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of
the employees salaries in accordance with the relevant regulations, and to make
contributions to the state-sponsored pension and medical plans out of the amounts accrued
for medical and pension benefits. The state-sponsored retirement plan was responsible for
the entire pension obligations for the actual pension payments or post-retirement benefits
beyond the annual contributions.The Company has adopted Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (Profit Sharing Plan) for the
benefit of substantially all employees in the US that satisfied the age and service
requirements. The Companys contributions are determined according to a discretionary
formula in an amount determined each year by the management and will be allocated to
each Qualifying Participants individual account using the pro rata formula. No profit
sharing expense made during all financial periods since its adoption.Contributions paid and payable by the Company in respect of the employee retirement benefit
plans charged to the consolidated statement of operations were US$1,317, US$831 and
US$616 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 respectively.15.

in accordance with the terms of the 1998 Plan on April 12, 1999 to certain officers,
directors, key employees and advisors of the Company at an exercise price of US$5.0
per share (the fair market value of the common stock as of April 12, 1999) and are
exercisable during the period from April 12, 1999 to April 11, 2009.Pursuant to the 1999 Annual Meeting of the Shareholders on December 15, 1999, the
authorized number of stock options was increased from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000. The
purchase price of the shares of the Common Stock covered by the 1998 Plan shall be
at least 100% of the fair market value per share of such shares on the date of
grant, with a term of ten years.On July 1, 2003, the Company adopted the second stock plan (The 2003 Plan) which was
approved by the shareholders on December 5, 2003. The 2003 Plan allows the Board of
Directors, or a committee thereof at the Boards discretion, to provide for a total
of 4,000,000 stock options to officers, directors, key employees and advisors of the
Company. The purchase price of the shares of the Common Stock covered by The 2003
Plan could be less than, equal to or greater than 100% of the fair market value of
the Common Stock at the time of grant, with a term of ten years.On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted and approved the third stock plan (The 2005
Plan) which was approved by the shareholders on September 26, 2005. The Company
believes that a new plan is necessary since there are only a minimal number of
options remaining under The 1998 Plan and 2003 Plan. The Company believes that the
grant of stock options is accomplishing its purposes, which is to promote the
Company and the shareholders interests by providing key employees with an
opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and to develop a
stronger incentive to put forth maximum effort for the Company continued success and
growth. In addition, the opportunity to acquire a propriety interest in the Company
aids the Company in attracting and retaining key personnel of outstanding ability.Options granted under The 2005 Plan will constitute either incentive stock options
within the meaning of Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, or options which constitute nonqualified options at the time of
issuance of such options. The 2005 Plan provides that incentive stock options
and/or nonqualified stock options may be granted to our officers, directors,
employees and advisors selected by the compensation committee. A total of
