  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

Our Business Strategy
  
    
    increase our market share of moderately priced high-quality gem-set semi-precious
and precious jewelry by capitalizing on our unique vertically integrated production
processes to produce diamond and high-end precious stone jewelry in addition to high
volume, high-quality semi-precious products;
    
    further develop our existing customer relationships with our specialized services;
and
    
    expand aggressively into new distribution channels, particularly in the United
States and throughout Western Europe, Japan, China, 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
    
    offering diamond jewelry and expanding this business to our current client base by
adding diamonds to some of our settings, as well as offering newly designed jewelry
    
    launching Lorenzo Gold, our new gold jewelry product line
 Our China Retail Sales Strategy
  
    
    enormous retail market  Chinas retail sales exceed $600 billion annually, making
China the third largest market in the world.
    
    large and growing jewelry market  we estimate that Chinas jewelry sales totaled
nearly $15 billion in 2002, up 19% year over year.


    
    huge pool of consumers  China has a population of 1.3 billion persons. 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 (WTO),
China is eliminating many restrictions on foreign ownership and operation of retail
stores. Tariffs on colored gem stones, 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 an additional 20
ENZO stores in China during 2006
    
    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 U.S.

    NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 (a)
    
    Basis of accountingThe financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.(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.During 2004, 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.Lorenzo (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (LSC) and Enzo (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (ESC) are VIEs that
each of them is owned by 2 individuals, who are acting as agents for the Company.
The Company does not have any ownership interest in LSC and ESC. The Company is
incorporated in the BVI and is considered a foreign entity under the PRC laws. Due
to the restrictions on foreign ownership on the retail business of jewelries, the
Company, through loans to the agents, established LSC and ESC to carry out the
retail business of jewelries in the PRC. Pursuant to various agreements entered
into between the Company, the agents and LSC on May 21, 2004, the agents and ESC on
July 14, 2005, the Company generally has control of LSC and ESC, absorbs majority
of expected losses and receives majority of residual return of LSC and ESC. The
Company is therefore considered the primary beneficiary of LSC and ESC.
Accordingly, the results of LSC and ESC are consolidated in the financial
statements of the Company since May 21, 2004 and July 14, 2005 respectively.

    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 (b)
    
    Principles of consolidation and goodwill (Continued)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, 2005 by US$4,586 and US$1,882
respectively and a decrease in assets and an increase in liabilities as of December 31,
2004 by US$141 and US$82 respectively and an increase in net loss of US$1,248 and US$223
for each of two years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively.Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of acquired net assets and is
subject to annual impairment tests. As part of an ongoing review of the valuation of
goodwill, management assesses the fair value of the reporting units to determine if
changes in facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired. If this review
indicates that the goodwill is not recoverable, as determined by a discounted cash flow
analysis, the carrying value of the Companys goodwill would be reduced accordingly.(c)
    
    Revenue recognitionOperating revenue represents sale of goods at invoiced value to customers, net of
returns and discounts, and is recognized when goods are delivered and title has passed
to customers.Other revenue is recognized on the following basis:
 (i)
    
    Interest income is accrued on a time proportion basis on the
principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable;(ii)
    
    Rental income from investment properties under operating leases is
recognized in the period in which the properties are let out and on the straight-line basis over the
lease terms;(iii)
    
    Net gain from the trading of precious and semi-precious gemstones is recognized
when gemstones are delivered and title has passed to customers; and(iv)
    
    Subcontracting income is recognized in the period when services are rendered.
 (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 costs of goods sold. The amounts of
revenue received for shipping and handling are included in operating revenue.(f)
    
    Advertising and promotion costsAdvertising and promotion expenses are generally expensed when incurred. Advertising
costs were US$1,092, US$364 and US$871 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and
2003, 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. 300,000 warrants that could
potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2005 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 receivableAccounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to customers, net of discounts. The
Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of
outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic
conditions. No interest is chargeable to customers for accounts that are unpaid after
the due date. Accounts past due more than one year are considered delinquent.
Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and
specific circumstances of the customer.(j)
    
    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, is
calculated using the weighted average costing method. Estimated losses on inventories
represent reserves for obsolescence, excess quantities, irregulars and slow moving
inventory. 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.Depreciation is provided by using the straight-line method 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

 (m)
    
    Impairment of long-lived assetsLong-lived assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, impairment is measured as the
difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.(n)
    
    Investment securitiesPrior to January 1, 2005, investment in non-marketable securities held for an identified
long term purpose are stated at cost and subject to impairment review at each reporting
date to reflect any diminution in their value, which is expected to be other than
temporary. The amount of impairment is recognized as an expense in the period in which
the decline occurs. On January 1, 2005, as set out in note 3, the Company acquired
additional shares in this non-marketable securities and became the major shareholder.As appropriate for a step-acquisition, the investment was restated to account for under
the equity method for periods before January 1, 2005.

    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).(q)
    
    Stock-based compensationThe 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 award 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 stockholders equity.As of December 31, 2005, the Company has three stock-based employee compensation plans,
details of which are set out in note
14(a).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. 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 taxesThe Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws
that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. 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).(t)
    
    Treasury stockThe Company applies the cost method of accounting for treasury stock. The cost method
requires the Company to record the cost of acquiring treasury stock as a deduction from
the total capital. The treasury stock account is debited for the cost of the shares
acquired and will be credited upon reissuance at cost on a first-in-first-out basis. If
the treasury stock is reissued at a price in excess of acquisition cost, the excess will
be credited to additional paid-in capital in excess of par value from treasury stock.
If the treasury stock is reissued at less than acquisition cost, the deficiency will be
treated first as a reduction of any capital in excess of par related to previous
reissuances or retirements. If the balance in capital in excess of par value from
treasury stock is insufficient to absorb the deficiency, the remainder is recorded as a
reduction of retained earnings.

    Cash equivalentsThe Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments with an original
maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.(v)
    
    Uses of estimatesThe preparation of the Companys financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Companys management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.(w)
    
    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.(x)
    
    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 10 to the financial statements.(y)
    
    Comprehensive incomeThe Company reports comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130 Reporting
Comprehensive Income. Accumulated other comprehensive loss represents exchange
translation adjustments and is included in the shareholders equity section of the
balance sheet.(z)
    
    New accounting pronouncementsIn December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), which requires all companies to
measure compensation cost for all share-based payments (including employee stock
options) at fair value. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission
announced that it would provide a phased-in implementation process for SFAS No. 123R.
As a result of this phased-in process, the provisions of SFAS No. 123R must be adopted
by most public entities no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year commencing
after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123R applies to all awards granted after the required
effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date.Effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006, the Company will adopt the
provisions of SFAS No. 123R using a modified version of prospective application. Under
this transition method, compensation cost will be recognized on or after the effective
date for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet
been rendered, based on the grant date fair value of those awards previously calculated
under SFAS No. 148 for pro forma disclosures.

    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 (z)
    
    New accounting pronouncements (Continued)In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151,
Inventory Costs  an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS No. 151), which
clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and
wasted material (spoilage) should be recognized as a current period expense. In
addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the
costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS
No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does
not believe that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its
financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153
Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets  an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (SFAS No. 153).
SFAS No. 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of non-monetary assets. It
eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for non-monetary exchanges of
similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29 Accounting for
Non-monetary Transactions and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not
have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the
future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the
exchange. As required by SFAS No. 153, we will adopt this new accounting standard
effective July 1, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material
impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections  a replacement of APB Opinion
No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS No. 154), which changes the requirements for
the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle. The Statement
requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of
changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the
period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. In addition, the
Statement also requires that a change in depreciation or amortization for
long-lived assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a
change in accounting principle. The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are generally
effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of
SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of
operations.

    ACQUISITIONSOn January 1, 2005, the Company paid US$2,828 for new issuance of 3,900 common stock of

    ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)In addition, as of December 31, 2004, this investment is accounted for using the cost
method. As appropriate for a step-acquisition, in the 2005 financial statements, the
investment as of December 31, 2004 has been restated to account for under the equity method,
details of which are set out in note 9.4.
    
    OPERATING RISKS
 (a)
    
    Concentrations of credit risksDetails of major customers from which the Company derived operating revenue are shown
in note 17(b).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 its cash balances and investments in time deposits with various
banks and financial institutions. 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 TAXES (CONTINUED)Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts
used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Companys deferred tax assets
and liabilities are as follows:

    (154
    )
    
    
    (87
    )
 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 increase in valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004
and 2003, amounted to US$2,237, US$253 and US$790 respectively.Based on the history of the Companys profitability, management believes that it is more
likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets of
US$Nil and US$36, net of valuation allowances as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Directors, or a committee thereof at the Boards discretion, to provide for a total
of 2,000,000 stock options to officers, directors, key employees and advisors of the
Company. Out of the stock options provided, 1,285,000 stock options were issued 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

    Stock incentive plan (Continued)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 4,000,000 shares of
common stock are authorized and reserved for issuance during the term of The 2005
Plan, which expires in June 2015. The compensation committee has the sole authority
to interpret The 2005 Plan and make all determinations necessary or advisable for
administering The 2005 Plan. The exercise price for any incentive option and
nonqualified option may be less than, equal to or greater than 100% and 110%
respectively of the fair market value of the shares as of the date of grant. Upon
the exercise of the option, the exercise price must be paid in full either in cash, shares of the Companys stock or combination. If any option is not exercised for any
reason, such shares shall again become available for the purposes of The 2005 Plan.
As of December 31, 2005, no options had been granted under The 2005 Plan.
