NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)   Basis of Presentation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DGSE Companies, Inc. and Subsidiaries include the financial statements of DGSE Companies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, DGSE Corporation, National Jewelry Exchange, Inc., Charleston Gold and Diamond Exchange, Inc., Superior Galleries, Inc. Superior Precious Metals, Inc., American Gold and Diamond Exchange, Inc, and Superior Estate Buyers, Inc. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The interim financial statements of DGSE Companies, Inc. included herein have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Commission's rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  We suggest that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.  In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year's consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

In December 2008, we decided to discontinue the live auction segment of our business activities.  This decision was based on the substantial losses being incurred by this operating segment during 2008.  As a result, certain sections of the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes have been reclassified to present the results of the auction segment activities as discontinued operations.

In June 2009, the Company sold the assets of National Jewelry Exchange, Inc. (our two pawnshops) to an unrelated third party for cash in the amount of $ 1,324.450. The proceeds were used to retire $400,000 of our bank debt and the balance was used for working capital. As a result, operating results from National Jewelry Exchange have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

    Total
  $ 15,773,614     $ 16,052,833  

(3)  Goodwill.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we reflected $8,185,443 of goodwill relating to the acquisition of Superior Galleries. Inc. in May 2007. Under SFAS No. 142, we are required to undertake an annual impairment test at our year end or when there is a triggering event. In addition to the annual impairment review, there were a number of triggering events in the fourth quarter due to the significant operating losses of Superior and the impact of the economic downturn on Superior’s operations and the decline in the Company’s share price resulting in a substantial discount of the market capitalization to tangible net asset value. An evaluation of the recorded goodwill was undertaken, which considered two methodologies to determine the fair-value of the entity:

·    A market capitalization approach, which measure market capitalization at the measurement date.
·    A discounted cash flow approach, which entails determining fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology.  This method requires significant judgment to estimate the future cash flow and to determine the appropriate discount rates, growth rates, and other assumptions.

DGSE COMPANIES, Inc. and Subsidiaries
 
Each of these methodologies we believe has merit, and resulted in the determination that goodwill was impaired. Accordingly, to reflect the impairment, we recorded a non-cash charge of $8,185,443, which eliminated the value of the goodwill related to Superior.

(5)  Earnings per share.

A reconciliation of the earnings and shares of the basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

(7)  Stock-based Compensation.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share based payment awards to employees and directors including employee stock options granted under our employee stock option plan.  In addition, we have applied the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB No. 107), issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, in our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

Stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123(R) for the months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, was $0 and $15,200, relating to employee and director stock options and our employee stock purchase plan.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized each period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period.  SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula to value share-based payments granted to employees subsequent to January 1, 2006 and elected to attribute the value of stock-based compensation to expense using the straight-line single option method.

On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards”, which detailed an alternative transition method for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R). This alternative transition method included simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).  As of June 30, 2009, we have not recorded the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation and have made no adjustments to the APIC pool.

SFAS No. 123(R) requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. As there have been no stock options exercised, we have not reported these excess tax benefits as of June 30, 2009.

(8)   Discontinued Operations.

In November 2008 we decided to discontinue the live auction segment of the Company’s business activities. This decision was based on the substantial losses being incurred by this operating segment during 2008. As a result, the operating results of the auction segment have been reclassified to discontinued operations for both 2008 and 2009.  During the first six months of 2009 and 2008 the auction segment incurred pretax losses of $512,136 and $86,625, respectively.

The following summarizes the carrying amount of assets and liabilities of the auction segment as of June 30, 2009:

Assets
     
   Accounts receivable
  $    0  
        Current assets
  $ 0  
   Long-term receivable
  $ 305,275  
        Total assets
  $ 305,275  
Liabilities
       
   Auctions payable
  $ 0  

As a result, operating results from the auction segment have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.  As of June30, 2009, there were no operating assets to be disposed of or liabilities to be paid in completing the disposition of these operations.

In June 2009 the Company sold the assets of National Jewelry Exchange, Inc.(the Company’s two pawn shops) to an unrelated third party for cash in the amount of $ 1,324,450. The proceeds were used to retire $400,000 of our bank debt and the balance was used for working capital. As a result, operating results from National Jewelry Exchange have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

(9)  New Accounting Pronouncements.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB:”) issued Statement No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”).  The codification will become the source of GAAP recognized by the FASB.  Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.  SFAS 168 is not intended to change existing GAAP and as such, it will not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.  SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”) which establishes accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent events.  SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which we should evaluate events or transactions that occur for potential recognition or disclosure in our financial statements, the circumstances under which we should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in our financial statements and the required disclosures for such events or transactions.  SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and as such, we adopted SFAS 165 prospectively beginning in our quarterly period ended June 30, 2009.  We have evaluated subsequent events through August 14, 2009, the filing date of this report.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP No. 142-3”), which amends the factors that should be considered when developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of an intangible asset under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“SFAS No. 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, in order to improve consistency between SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows to measure the fair value of the asset under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” and other U.S. generally accepted accounting practices.  Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted FSP No. 142-3. The adoption of FSP No. 142-3 has not had and is not expected to have a material impact our results of operations and financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”).  SFAS 161 requires entities to proved enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments and that the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and its related interpretations, including a tabular format disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.  SFAS 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption.  We adopted SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009 and it did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which establishes principles for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in the financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. This statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 141(R).  No business combinations were completed in the first quarter of 2009. However, to the extent that future business combinations are material, our adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will significantly impact our accounting and reporting for future acquisitions, principally as a result of (i) expanded requirements to value acquired assets, liabilities and contingencies at their fair values; and (ii) the requirement that acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as a part of the cost of the acquisition.

We adopted FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Incomes Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN48”) on January 1, 2007.  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.  It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  We had no unrecognized tax benefits and no accrued interest or penalties recognized as of the date of our adoption of FIN 48.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, there were no changes in our unrecognized tax benefits, and we had no accrued interest or penalties as of June 30, 2009.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 159 except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities.  Due to the fact that management has not elected to use the fair value option for eligible items, the adoption has not resulted in any financial impact on our results of operations and financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measures” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2, which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  We adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 partially on January 1, 2008 and on January 1, 2009 relating to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities and it did not have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position.

· interest rates;

· economic pressures affecting the disposable income available to our customers;

· our ability to maintain an effective system of internal controls;

· the other risks detailed from time to time in our SEC reports.

Additional important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations are discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.  You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Our Business

We buy and sell jewelry, bullion products and rare coins.  Our customers include individual consumer, dealers and institutions throughout the United States.  In addition, we make collateralized loans to individuals in the State of Texas.  Our products and services are marketed through our facilities in Dallas and Euless, Texas; Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina; Woodland Hills, California and through our internet web sites DGSE.com; CGDEinc.com; SGBH.com; SuperiorPreciousMetals.com; SuperiorEstateBuyers.com; USBullionExchange.com; Americangoldandsilverexchange.com; and FairchildWatches.com.

We operate eight primary internet sites and over 900 related landing sites on the World Wide Web.  Through the various sites we operate a virtual store, real-time auction of rare coin and jewelry products, free quotations of current prices on all commonly traded precious metal and related products, trading in precious metals, a mechanism for selling unwanted jewelry, rare coins and precious metals and wholesale prices and information exclusively for dealers on pre-owned fine watches. Over 7,500 items are available for sale on our internet sites including $2,000,000 in diamonds.
 
In June 2008, we moved Superior Galleries’ operations from Beverly Hills to Woodland Hills, California.  Superior’s principal line of business is the sale of rare coins on a retail and wholesale basis. Superior’s retail and wholesale operations are conducted in virtually every state in the United States.  Superior also conducted live and internet auctions for customers seeking to sell their own coins prior to management’s decision to discontinue the live auction operations.  Superior markets its services nationwide through broadcast and print media and independent sales agents, as well as on the internet through third party websites, and through its own website at SGBH.com.
 
Americangoldandsilverexchange.com, the over 900 proprietary Internet sites related to the home page of Americangoldandsilverexchange.com along with our existing locations in Texas, California and South Carolina, provide customers from all over the United States with a seamless and secure way to value and sell gold, silver, rare coins, jewelry, diamonds and watches.

Superior Estate Buyers brings our unique expertise in the purchase of gold, silver, diamonds, rare coins and other collectibles to local markets with a team of traveling professionals for short-term buying events. During 2008 Superior Estate Buyers held approximately 24 such buying events.  It is our expectation that, over time, this activity will be expanded significantly with the objective of having teams conducting events on a continuous basis.
 
Superior Precious Metals is the retail precious metals arm of DGSE. Professional account managers provide a convenient way for individuals and companies to buy and sell precious metals and rare coins. This activity is supported by the internally developed account management and trading platform created as part of DGSE’s USBullionExchange.com precious metals system.

Significant Accounting Policies

Inventory. Jewelry and other inventory is valued at lower-of-cost-or-market (specific identification).  Bullion inventory is valued at lower-of-cost-or-market (average cost).

Accounts Receivable.  We record trade receivables when revenue is recognized.  No product has been consigned to customers.  Our allowance for doubtful accounts is primarily determined by review of specific trade receivables.  Those accounts that are doubtful of collection are included in the allowance.  These provisions are reviewed to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.  Trade receivables are charged off when there is certainty as to their being uncollectible.  Trade receivables are considered delinquent when payment has not been made within contract terms.

Revenue Recognition.  The Company generates revenue from wholesale and retail sales of rare coins, precious metals bullion and second-hand jewelry. The recognition of revenue varies for wholesale and retail transactions and is, in large part, dependent on the type of payment arrangements made between the parties. We recognize sales on an F.O.B. shipping point basis.
 
The Company sells rare coins to other wholesalers/dealers within its industry on credit, generally for terms of 14 to 60 days, but in no event greater than one year. The Company grants credit to new dealers based on extensive credit evaluations and for existing dealers based on established business relationships and payment histories. The Company generally does not obtain collateral with which to secure its accounts receivable when the sale is made to a dealer. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses based on an evaluation of specific receivables and the Company’s historical experience related to credit losses.
 
Revenues for monetary transactions (i.e., cash and receivables) with dealers are recognized when the merchandise is shipped to the related dealer.
 
The Company also sells rare coins to retail customers on credit, generally for terms of 30 to 60 days, but in no event greater than one year. The Company grants credit to retail customers based on extensive credit evaluations and for existing retail customers based on established business relationships and payment histories. When a retail customer is granted credit, the Company generally collects a payment of 25% of the sales price, establishes a payment schedule for the remaining balance and holds the merchandise as collateral as security against the customer’s receivable until all amounts due under the credit arrangement are paid in full. If the customer defaults in the payment of any amount when due, the Company may declare the customer’s obligation in default, liquidate the collateral in a commercially reasonable manner using such proceeds to extinguish the remaining balance and disburse any amount in excess of the remaining balance to the customer.
  
Under this retail arrangement, revenues are recognized when the customer agrees to the terms of the credit and makes the initial payment. The Company has a limited-in-duration money back guaranty policy (as discussed below).
 
In limited circumstances, the Company exchanges merchandise for similar merchandise and/or monetary consideration with both dealers and retail customers, for which the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SFAS 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” When the Company exchanges merchandise for similar merchandise and there is no monetary component to the exchange, the Company does not recognize any revenue. Instead, the basis of the merchandise relinquished becomes the basis of the merchandise received, less any indicated impairment of value of the merchandise relinquished. When the Company exchanges merchandise for similar merchandise and there is a monetary component to the exchange, the Company recognizes revenue to the extent of monetary assets received and determines the cost of sale based on the ratio of monetary assets received to monetary and non-monetary assets received multiplied by the cost of the assets surrendered.

The Company has a return policy (money-back guarantee). The policy covers retail transactions involving graded rare coins only. Customers may return graded rare coins purchased within 7 days of the receipt of the rare coins for a full refund as long as the rare coins are returned in exactly the same condition as they were delivered. In the case of rare coin sales on account, customers may cancel the sale within 7 days of making a commitment to purchase the rare coins. The receipt of a deposit and a signed purchase order evidences the commitment. Any customer may return a coin if they can demonstrate that the coin is not authentic, or there was an error in the description of a graded coin.
 
Revenues from the sale of consigned goods are recognized as commission income on such sale if the Company is acting as an agent for the consignor. If in the process of selling consigned goods, the Company makes an irrevocable payment to a consignor for the full amount due on the consignment and the corresponding receivable from the buyer(s) has not been collected by the Company at that payment date, the Company records that payment as a purchase and the sale of the consigned good(s) to the buyer as revenue as the Company has assumed all collection risk.
 
Pawn loans (“loans”) are made with the collateral of tangible personal property for one month with an automatic 60-day extension period.  Pawn service charges are recorded at the time of redemption at the greater of $15 or the actual interest accrued to date.  If the loan is not repaid, the principal amount loaned plus accrued interest (or the fair value of the collateral, if lower) becomes the carrying value of the forfeited collateral (“inventories”) which is recovered through sales to customers.

 Fair Value Measures.  In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measures” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measures required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after  November 15, 2007.  Effective January 1, 2008, the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 157.
 
SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
 
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity's own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The adoption did not have any financial impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2008

Sales decreased by $3,512,000 or 14.0%, during the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 2008.  This decrease was primarily the result of a $2,160,000, or 27.8%, decrease in retail jewelry sales, a 1,664,000, or 13.9%, decrease in the sale of precious metal products, and $291,000, or 25.5% decrease in our wholesale jewelry sales during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to 2008.  The decreases in precious metals sales were due to a less volatile gold market. The decrease in  jewelry sales was due to the sluggish retail environment.   Cost of goods as a percentage of sales decreased from 87.2% in 2008 to 84.2% in 2009.  This decrease was due to the decrease in precious metals revenue as a percentage of total sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $327,833, or 12.8%, during the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 2008. This decrease was primarily due to an overhead cost saving program that we began in the first quarter of 2009.
The increase in interest expense is due to renewal charges on our line of credit.

Income taxes are provided at the rate of 34.00 % and 35.61% for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Historically, changes in the market prices of precious metals have had a significant impact on both revenues and cost of sales in the rare coin and precious metals segments in which we operate. It is expected that due to the commodity nature of these products, future price changes for precious metals will continue to be indicative of our performance in these business segments. Changes in sales and cost of sales in the retail and wholesale jewelry segments are primarily influenced by the national economic environment. It is expected that this trend will continue in the future due to the nature of these product.
 
Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

Sales decreased by $9,783,815 or 17.2%, during the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 2008.  This decrease was primarily the result of a $2,125,000, or 14.9%, decrease in retail jewelry sales, a 4,832,000, or 16.7%, decrease in the sale of precious metal products, a $2,130,000 or 19.1% decrease in rare coin sales and a $697,000, or 27.9% decrease in our wholesale jewelry sales during the first half of 2009 as compared to 2008.  The decreases in precious metals and rare coin sales were due to a less volatile gold market. The decrease in jewelry sales was due to the sluggish retail environment.   Cost of goods as a percentage of sales decreased from 88.1% in 2008 to 86.0% in 2009.  This decrease was due to the decrease in precious metals revenue as a percentage of total sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $391,417, or 8.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 2008. This decrease was primarily due to an overhead cost saving program that we began in the first quarter of 2009.
The increase in interest expense is due to renewal charges on our line of credit.

Income taxes are provided at the rate of 34.00 % and 35.61% for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect capital expenditures to total approximately $100,000 during the next twelve months.  It is anticipated that these expenditures will be funded from working capital and our credit facility.  As of June 30, 2009 there were no commitments outstanding for capital expenditures.

In the event of significant growth in retail and or wholesale jewelry sales, the demand for additional working capital will expand due to a related need to stock additional jewelry inventory and increases in wholesale accounts receivable.  Historically, vendors have offered us extended payment terms to finance the need for jewelry inventory growth and our management believes that we will continue to do so in the future.  Any significant increase in wholesale accounts receivable will be financed under our credit facility.

Our ability to finance our operations and working capital needs are dependent upon management’s ability to negotiate extended terms or refinance its debt.  We have historically renewed, extended or replaced short-term debt as it matures and management believes that we will be able to continue to do so in the near future.

From time to time, we have adjusted our inventory levels to meet seasonal demand or in order to meet working capital requirements. Management is of the opinion that if additional working capital is required, additional loans can be obtained from individuals or from commercial banks.  If necessary, inventory levels may be adjusted or a portion of our investments in marketable securities may be liquidated in order to meet unforeseen working capital requirements.

In December 2005, we entered into a revolving credit facility with Texas Capital Bank, N.A., which currently permits borrowings up to a maximum principal amount of $3,500,000 and has a maturity date of June 22, 2010.  Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are collateralized by a general security interest in substantially all of our assets (other than the assets of Superior). As of June 30, 2009, approximately $3,500,000 was outstanding under the term loan and revolving credit facility.  If we were to default under the terms and conditions of the revolving credit facility, Texas Capital Bank would have the right to accelerate any indebtedness outstanding and foreclose on our assets in order to satisfy our indebtedness. Such a foreclosure could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, results of operations and financial position.

The covenants associated with our credit facility with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. exclude Superior Galleries  are as follows:

Upon the consummation of our acquisition of Superior, and after the exchange by Stanford of $8.4 million of Superior debt for shares of Superior common stock, Superior amended and restated its credit facility with Stanford. The amended and restated commercial loan and security agreement, which we refer to as the loan agreement, decreased the available credit line from $19.89 million to $11.5 million, reflecting the $8.4 million debt exchange. Interest on the outstanding principal balance will continue to accrue at the prime rate, as reported in the Wall Street Journal or, during an event of default, at a rate 5% greater than the prime rate as so reported.

Loan proceeds can only be used for customer loans inventory purchases and receivables consistent with specified loan policies and procedures and for permitted inter-company transactions. Permitted inter-company transactions are loans or dividends paid to us or our other subsidiaries. We guaranteed the repayment of these permitted inter-company transactions pursuant to a secured subordinated guaranty in favor of Stanford.  In connection with the secured guarantee, Stanford and Texas Capital Bank, N.A., our primary lender, entered into an intercreditor agreement with us, and we entered into a subordination agreement with Superior, both of which subordinate Stanford's security interests and repayment rights to those of Texas Capital Bank.  As of June 30, 2009, approximately $9.2 million was outstanding under this credit facility and there were no intercompany transactions outstanding.

This credit facility matures on May 1, 2011, provided that in case any of several customary events of default occurs, Stanford may declare the entire principal amount of both loans due immediately and take possession and dispose of the collateral described below. An event of default includes, among others, the following events: failure to make a payment when due under the loan agreement; breach of a covenant in the loan agreement or any related agreement; a representation or warranty made in the loan agreement or related agreements is materially incorrect; a default in repayment of borrowed money to any person; a material breach or default under any material contract; certain bankruptcy or insolvency events; and a default under a third-party loan.  Superior is obligated to repay the first revolving loan from the proceeds of the inventory or other collateral purchased with the proceeds of the loan.

The loans are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of Superior’s assets, including inventory, accounts receivable, promissory notes, books and records and insurance policies, and the proceeds of the foregoing.  In addition, pursuant to the limited secured guaranty and intercreditor arrangements described above, Stanford would have a second-order security interest in all of our accounts and inventory to the extent of intercompany transactions.
 
The loan agreement includes a number of customary covenants applicable to Superior, including, among others: punctual payments of principal and interest under the credit facility; prompt payment of taxes, leases and other indebtedness; maintenance of corporate existence, qualifications, licenses, intellectual property rights, property and assets; maintenance of satisfactory insurance; preparation and delivery of financial statements for us and separately for Superior in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, tax returns and other financial information; inspection of offices and collateral; notice of certain events and changes; use of proceeds; notice of governmental orders which may have a material adverse effect, SEC filings and stockholder communications; maintenance of property and collateral; and payment of Stanford expenses.

In addition, Superior has agreed to a number of negative covenants in the loan agreement, including, among others, covenants not to: create or suffer a lien or other encumbrance on any collateral, subject to customary exceptions; incur, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any indebtedness, subject to customary exceptions; acquire indebtedness of another person, subject to customary exceptions and permitted inter-company transactions; issue or acquire any shares of its capital stock; pay dividends other than permitted inter-company transactions or specified quarterly dividends, or directors’ fees; sell or abandon any collateral except in the ordinary course of business or consolidate or merge with another entity; enter into affiliate transactions other than in the ordinary course of business on fair terms or permitted inter-company transactions; create or participate in any partnership or joint venture; engage in a new line of business; pay principal or interest on subordinate debt except as authorized by the credit facility; or make capital expenditures in excess of $100,000 per fiscal year
 
We have been informed that on February 19, 2009, a US district court placed SIBL under the supervision of a receiver and that the court enjoined SIBL's creditors and other persons from taking certain actions related to SIBL or its assets.  In addition, on the same date, Antiguan Financial Services Regulatory Commission appointed a Receiver for Stanford International Bank Ltd. This action was subsequently ratified by the High Court of Justice in Antigua and Barbuda.  As a result of SIBL's current status, we do not believe that Superior will be able to borrow additional  funds under either revolving loan, including any amounts Superior is obligated to repay to SIBL pursuant to the repayment provisions applicable to the first revolving note.   We believe that certain terms of agreements entered into by us, Superior and/or SIBL and its affiliates in connection with our acquisition of Superior have been breached by SIBL or its affiliates, and we are evaluating available remedies, including but not limited to damages from responsible parties. While Superior does not currently require additional funds under the SIBL credit facility, should the need arise and Superior is unable to replace this credit facility the operations and performance of Superior could be materially adversely affected.

From time to time, we have adjusted our inventory levels to meet seasonal demand or in order to meet working capital requirements. Management is of the opinion that if additional working capital is required, additional loans can be obtained from individuals or from commercial banks.  If necessary, inventory levels may be adjusted or a portion of our investments in marketable securities may be liquidated in order to meet unforeseen working capital requirements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The following discussion about our market risk disclosures involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and gold values. We are also exposed to regulatory risk in relation to its pawn loans.  We do not use derivative financial instruments.

Our earnings and financial position may be affected by changes in gold values and the resulting impact on pawn lending and jewelry sales. The proceeds of scrap sales and our ability to liquidate excess jewelry inventory at an acceptable margin are dependent upon gold values. The impact on our financial position and results of operations of a hypothetical change in gold values cannot be reasonably estimated.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.  An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in internal controls.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
