REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF
CHINA GERUI ADVANCED MATERIALS GROUP LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Gerui Advanced Materials Group Limited (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010, and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of China Gerui Advanced Materials Group Limited as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION |
On November 30, 2009, the Board of Directors of Golden Green Enterprises Limited (“Golden Green”) authorized the Company's corporate name change to China Gerui Advanced Materials Group Limited ("the Company" or "China Gerui"), effective as of December 14, 2009.
The Company was established in the British Virgin Islands ("BVI") on March 11, 2008 as a limited liability Company, for the purpose of effectuating a reorganization and merger with Wealth Rainbow Development Limited (“Wealth Rainbow”) and Henan Green Complex Materials Co., Ltd (“Henan Green”) as discussed in Note 2.
China Gerui's holdings are comprised of Wealth Rainbow, also a holding company and Henan Green, an operating company and a leading China-based specialty precision cold-rolled steel producer. Through its investment in these entities, the Company manufactures and sells specialty, high-end, high precision, ultra thin, high strength, cold-rolled, narrow strip steel products that are characterized by stringent performance and specification requirements that mandate a high degree of manufacturing and engineering expertise, and are extensively used in the manufacturing industry throughout mainland China. The Company's products are not standardized commodity products, but are tailored to customers' requirements and then incorporated into products they and end-users make for various applications. The Company sells its products to its customers in the People's Republic of China (PRC) in a diverse range of industries, including the food packaging, telecommunication, electrical appliance, and construction materials industries.
Wealth Rainbow was formed on March 1, 2007 by Lu Mingwang's family as the Company. On October 21, 2008, Wealth Rainbow acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Henan Green pursuant to a stock transfer agreement. Subsequent to the stock transfer, Wealth Rainbow became the sole shareholder of Henan Green. The change of ownership was approved by the Chinese Government on October 21, 2008. The principal activity of Wealth Rainbow is to hold its interest in Henan Green.
On June 12, 2010, the Company's directors approved a resolution to increase the registered capital of the operating entity, Henan Green, in amount of RMB138,000,000 ($20,349,780). Henan Green received the full amount in July 2010.

1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION (…/Cont’d) |
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China Gerui and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). The Company owns 100% equity interests directly and indirectly, in two subsidiaries, namely Wealth Rainbow and Henan Green. The organization chart of the Group is as follows:
2. | REORGANIZATION AND ACQUISITION OF NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST |
On October 21, 2008, Wealth Rainbow acquired the non-controlling interest in Henan Green for $4,310,087 with the issuance of a promissory note to the minority stockholders. This amount represented the fair value of Henan Green as determined by an independent valuation which was performed during August 2008. On the effective acquisition date, October 21, 2008, the fair value of Henan Green exceeded the agreed purchase price by $785,917. Such amount has been recorded as a contribution of capital by Henan Green during 2008.
The net assets of Henan Green were recorded by Wealth Rainbow at historical cost to the extent of the common control group’s 55.02% ownership of Henan Green. The remaining 44.98% of Henan Green shares acquired were accounted for as a purchase (fair value) of the non-controlling interest.
The common control group comprised of three direct relatives of the Lu's family which held approximately 55.02% of the shares of Henan Green on the date it was acquired by Wealth Rainbow. Wealth Rainbow was wholly owned by another direct relative of the Lu's family. Under the common control reporting rules, the control group’s 55.02% interest of Henan Green that was acquired by Wealth Rainbow constitutes an exchange of equity interests between entities under the common control.
Subsequent to the Henan Green acquisition, Wealth Rainbow entered into a reorganization and capitalization agreement with the Company during November 2008 in which all of the shares of Wealth Rainbow were exchanged with shares of the Company. As a result of these transactions, Wealth Rainbow and Henan Green became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. These transactions have been accounted for as a reorganization under common control with the purchase of a minority interest. On September 9, 2009, the Company fully settled the amount of $4,310,087 which was recorded as amount due to former minority shareholders.

2. | REORGANIZATION AND ACQUISITION OF NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST (…/Cont’d) |
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared as if the existing corporate structure had been in existence throughout the periods presented and as if the reorganization had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.
During March 2009, the Company amended its memorandum of association by increasing its authorized number of ordinary shares from 50,000 with a $1 par value to 100,000,000 with no par value. Simultaneously with the amendment, the Company effected a stock split by an additional 29,999,900 shares to the current shareholders. Accordingly, immediately after the amendment and prior to the merger with China Opportunity Acquisition Corp. (“COAC”), the Company had 30,000,000 ordinary shares outstanding. On March 17, 2009, the Company consummated a merger with COAC.
In connection with the merger, the Company issued 2,245,723 shares of its ordinary shares in exchange for all the outstanding shares of COAC. The Company also granted, in connection with the merger, 17,266,667 of warrants in exchange for all the outstanding warrants of COAC. The Company is deemed to be the surviving entity and registered its shares pursuant to a registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, after the merger, the former shareholders of COAC own approximately 6.5% of the Company’s ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2010, there were 2,219,559 warrants exercised.
On June 4, 2010, the Company completed a private placement in which the Company sold to certain investors 3,303,771 ordinary shares at a price per share of $5.70, for an aggregate purchase price of $18,831,495, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated the same date. The foregoing issuance was made in reliance upon exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
3. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management of the Group to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the recoverability of the carrying amount and the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets; valuation allowances for receivables, realizable values for inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

| (b) | Foreign currency translation |
Assets and liabilities of foreign operation are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. The year-end rates for December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 of Renminbi to one US dollar were 6.6000, 6.8270 and 6.8225 respectively; average rates for the year-end December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were 6.7604, 6.8303 and 6.9351 respectively. The related translation adjustments are reflected in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the stockholder's equity section of the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the accumulated foreign currency translation gain was $7,414,409, $2,411,301 and $2,403,547 respectively. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in earnings.
The year-end rates for December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 of Hong Kong dollar to one US dollar were 7.7810, 7.7543 and 7.7499 respectively; average rates for the year-end December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were 7.7700, 7.7515 and 7.7818 respectively.
Cash represents cash in banks and cash on hand.
The Group considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash. The Group maintains bank accounts in the PRC.

3. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (…/Cont’d) |
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for doubtful accounts sales returns and trade discounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Group’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Group’s existing accounts receivable. Management determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions. The Group has historically been able to collect all of its receivable balances, and accordingly, 2% allowance has been provided for doubtful accounts.
Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. 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 Group does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure to its customers.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and consist primarily of flat rolled steel. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. In the case of work in process and finished goods, such costs comprise of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overheads.
| (f) | Property, plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to general and administrative expenses as incurred. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed by the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives ranging from five to fifty years. Building improvements, if any, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life.
Upon sale or retirement of property, plant and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.
Construction in progress represents the costs of property, plant and equipment under construction or installation. Depreciation commences when the asset is placed in service. The accumulated costs are reclassified as property, plant and equipment when installation or construction is completed. Government subsidies received reduce the cost of construction.
The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
| | Estimated Life |
Land use right | | 43 - 50 |
Leasehold land improvement | | 46.5 |
Buildings | | 10 - 20 |
Machinery and equipment | | 5 - 20 |
Vehicles | | 5 |
Furniture fixtures and office equipment | | 5 |
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which do not extend the useful life of the assets, are expensed as incurred.

3. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (…/Cont’d) |
Land use right is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Under FASB ASC Topic 350, “Intangible, Goodwill and Other", land use right classified as definite lived intangible assets and are amortized over its useful life. According to the laws of the PRC, the government owns all of the land in the PRC. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the PRC government. Land use right is amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of 43 to 50 years.
| (h) | Impairment of long-lived assets |
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Property Plant and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. If long-lived assets are to be disposed, depreciation is discontinued, if applicable, and the assets are reclassified as held for sale at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair values less costs to sell.
Based on the Group’s assessment, no impairment was recognized as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.
| (i) | Fair value measurements |
FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures” defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

3. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (…/Cont’d) |
| (i) | Fair value measurements (…/Cont’d) |
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
| Level 1 - | Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment. |
| Level 2 - | Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means. |
| Level 3 - | Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
The Group generates revenue primarily from sales of steel mill flat-rolled products.
Revenue is recognized when products have been delivered to the buyer and title and risk of ownership has passed to the buyer, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
In the PRC, value added tax (“VAT”) of 17% on the invoice amount is collected in respect of the sales of goods on behalf of tax authorities. The VAT collected is not revenue of the Group; instead, the amount is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet until such VAT is paid.
The Group accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes". Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be effective when the differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. 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 the statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date.

| (k) | Income taxes (…/Cont’d) |
The Group adopted FASB ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes", which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in the tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.
| (l) | Commitments and contingencies |
In the normal course of business, the Group is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and claims arising out of the normal course of businesses that relate to a wide range of matters, including among others, product liability. The Group records accruals for such contingencies based upon the assessment of the probability of occurrence and, where determinable, an estimate of the liability. Management may consider many factors in making these assessments including past history, scientific evidence and the specifics of each matter. As management has not become aware of any product liability claims arising from any incident over the year, the Group has not recognized a liability for product liability claims.
Basic earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of our common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury method. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had a total of 15,191,108 warrants outstanding which included 144,000 warrants granted to the underwriter which may be exercised on or after August 9, 2010 and until November 9, 2014, and 1,200,000 warrants to be exercised from one unit purchase option which were exercisable until March 19, 2011.

FASB ASC Topic 280 "Segment reporting" establishes standards for reporting information on operating segments in interim and annual financial statements. The Group has only one segment, all of the Group's operations and customers are in the PRC and all income are derived from the sales of steel mill flat-rolled products. Accordingly, no geographic information is presented.
| (o) | Economic and political risks |
The Group's operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Group's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Group'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, remittances aboard, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
| (p) | Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted |
We describe below recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial statements. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.
In March 2010, FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding the effect of denominating the exercise price of a share-based payment awards in the currency of the market in which the underlying equity securities trades and that currency is different from (1) entity’s functional currency, (2) functional currency of the foreign operation for which the employee provides services, and (3) payroll currency of the employee. The guidance clarifies that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should be considered an equity award assuming all other criteria for equity classification are met. The guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010, and will be applied prospectively. Affected entities will be required to record a cumulative catch-up adjustment for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the annual period in which the guidance is adopted. This adoption of the authoritative guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

In accordance with PRC Company Law, the Group is required to allocate at least 10% profit to the statutory surplus reserve. Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve by the Group is based on profit arrived under PRC accounting standards for business enterprises for each year.
The profit arrived at must be set off against any accumulated losses sustained by the Group in prior years, before allocation is made to the statutory surplus reserve. Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve must be made before distribution of dividends to shareholders. The appropriation is required until the statutory surplus reserve reaches 50% of the stockholder's equity. This statutory surplus reserve is not distributable in the form of cash dividends.
As the statutory surplus reserve has reached 50% of the stockholder's equity in 2005, the Group ceased to allocate.
