Item 4.01      Changes In Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
 
On March 8, 2010, Kingold Jewelry, Inc. (formerly, Activeworlds Corp) (the “Company”) engaged Friedman, LLP, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to replace Baker Tilly Hong Kong Limited (“BTHK”). BTHK had been retained on February 4, 2010 as Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

During the period of BTHK’s engagement, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, from February 4, 2010 to March 8, 2010, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Friedman, LLP with respect to any accounting or auditing issues involving the Company. In particular, there was no discussion with the Company regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the financial statements, or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as described in Item 304 of Regulation S-K (“Regulation S-K”) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), or a “reportable event” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

BTHK was engaged as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, only from February 4, 2010 to March 8, 2010 and did not audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for any year.  During the period of BTHK’s engagement, there were no (i) disagreements between the Company and BTHK on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to its satisfaction, would have caused BTHK to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its report, or (ii) “reportable events,” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has furnished BTHK with a copy of this report prior to filing with the SEC and requested that BTHK furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agreed with the statements made by the Company in this report insofar as they relate to BTHK’s audit services and engagement as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
