[1] In connection with the lower of cost or market valuation standard for inventory, at September 30, 2013 a market value recovery was recorded to partially offset the previously recorded market value reserve. Please refer to Note 2C for accounting policy.

[2] In connection with the annual reporting close for the year ended December 31, 2013, management determined the manner in which it had previously reported the market value reserve on the Trust's gold bullion inventory within previously issued interim financial statements was incorrect. The recognition of a market value reserve to the Trust's inventory at September 30, 2013, which represents the adjustment necessary to reflect the carrying value of gold bullion inventory to the lower of cost or market value, was incorrectly reported as an expense of the Trust in the previously issued interim financial statements. Management determined that, according to U.S. GAAP, adjustments to the carrying value of the Trust's gold bullion inventory should be reflected against the revenues such inventory generates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, total gain on gold was overstated by $894,628,016 and total expenses were overstated by the same amount in the previously issued interim financial statements. Management evaluated the impact of this correction to the previously issued financial statements and determined that the historical presentation of the inventory reserves did not materially misstate the previously issued interim financial statements; however, because of the amount involved with this adjustment, the presentation has been corrected, and the previously filed financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 have been revised accordingly.
