TABLE OF CONTENTS

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the Securities and Exchange Commission declares our registration statement effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS		SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED DECEMBER 15, 2010

SMG INDIUM RESOURCES LTD.

10,000,000 Units

This is an initial public offering of our securities. Each unit has an offering price of $5.00 and consists of:

Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $5.75. Each warrant will become exercisable upon the date of this prospectus, and will expire on _______, 2015 [five years from the date of this prospectus] , or earlier upon redemption.

We have granted to the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional units solely to cover over-allotments, if any (over and above the 10,000,000 units referred to above). The over-allotment will be used only to cover the net syndicate short position resulting from the initial distribution.

There is presently no public market for our units, common stock or warrants. We have applied for each of the units, common stock and warrants to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbols SMGI.U, SMGI and SMGI.WS, respectively, and we anticipate that the units will begin trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market promptly after the date of this prospectus. Pursuant to the NASDAQ rules, our company is considered to be a “commodity stockpiling company” or “CSC”, and therefore we are subject to heightened initial and continued listing standards. Such heightened standards are addressed in this prospectus. Initially, only the units will trade. Each of the common stock and warrants will begin trading separately beginning on the 90 ^th day after the date of this prospectus unless the representatives of the underwriters determine that an earlier date is acceptable. We cannot assure you, however, that our securities will continue to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. In no event will the representatives of the underwriters permit separate trading of the common stock and warrants until the business day following the earlier to occur of the expiration of the underwriters’ over-allotment option or its exercise in full.

We will enter into an amendment to the Management Services Agreement with Specialty Metals Group Advisors LLC (“Manager”), initially executed on November 24, 2009, upon consummation of this offering regarding management of our company. As of the date of this prospectus, our Manager has purchased on our behalf approximately 9.2 metric tons of indium utilizing the proceeds from the private placement offering completed on January 8, 2010. The price of indium is volatile. In the past ten years, the price of indium has ranged from as low as $70 per kilogram to as high as $1,070 per kilogram. On December 1, 2010, the price of indium was quoted by Metal Bulletin on Bloomberg L.P. at $547.50 per kilogram.

The Manager expects to fully utilize a minimum of 85% of the net proceeds from this offering to purchase (or contract to purchase) and stockpile indium within 18 months of the date of this prospectus. If we are unable to use all of the 85% of the net proceeds from this offering to purchase and stockpile indium within such 18 month period, then we will return to the shareholders their pro-rata portion of the unused net proceeds designated for the purchase and stockpile of indium. In the event we return the unused proceeds to our shareholders, there will be a direct and materially adverse impact on the possibility that a potential shareholder could receive a positive return on their investment. In addition, for a potential shareholder to receive a return on their investment, the price of indium would need to appreciate substantially to offset the reduction in our Net Market Value associated with the initial offering expenses and our operating expenses, regardless of our ability to purchase indium in a timely manner.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our securities.

		Per Share				Total Proceeds
Public offering price		$	5.00			$	50,000,000
Underwriting discounts and commissions (1)		$	0.25			$	2,500,000

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

We are offering the units for sale on a firm-commitment basis. The underwriters expect to deliver our securities to investors in the offering on or about January [  ], 2011.

Industry and Market Data

In this prospectus, we rely on and refer to information and statistics regarding our industry. We obtained this statistical, market and other industry data and forecasts from publicly available information. While we believe that the statistical data, market data and other industry data and forecasts are reliable, we have not independently verified the data.

physically stored in third-party facilities. Although we will not retain a custodian, the third-party storage facilities will provide services consistent with those typically provided by a custodian, such as storage and safeguarding the indium, insurance, transferring of the indium in and out of the facility, visual inspections, spot checks, arranging and facilitating for independent third-party assays, confirmation of deliveries to supplier packing lists and reporting of transfers of our indium inventory to our company and auditors. Although there can be no assurance that the price of indium or value of our company or our securities will increase over time, our investors will have the ability to invest in a company whose value may be tied to its interest in indium in a manner that does not directly include the risks associated with ownership of companies that explore for, mine or process indium.

Our business model is designed to capture the long-term appreciation of the price of indium. Historically, the price of indium has been extremely volatile and subsequent to periods of price appreciation, the price of indium has suffered substantial price declines. According to Metal Bulletin as posted on Bloomberg L.P., over the last year, the price of indium has appreciated approximately 21.7%, from $450 per kilogram in December 2009 to $547.50 per kilogram in December 2010. Over the last five years, the price of indium has depreciated approximately 34.4% (8.1% annualized), from $835 per kilogram in December 2005 to $547.50 per kilogram in December 2010. Over the last ten years, the price of indium has appreciated approximately 356.3% (16.4% annualized), from $120 per kilogram in December 2000 to $547.50 per kilogram in December 2010. Over the last fifteen years, the price of indium has depreciated approximately 2.2% (0.2% annualized) from $560 per kilogram in December 1995 to $547.50 per kilogram in December 2010. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, over the last twenty-five years, the price of indium has appreciated approximately 544.1% (7.7% annualized), from $85 per kilogram in 1985 to $547.50 per kilogram in December 2010. Over the last fifty years, the price of indium has appreciated approximately 660.4% (4.1% annualized), from $72 per kilogram in 1960 to $547.50 per kilogram in December 2010. However, historical prices of indium are not indicative of future prices.

Our stockpile of indium may decrease over time due to sales of indium necessary to pay the expenses of this offering and our annual operating expenses. Without increases in the price of indium sufficient to compensate for such decreases, our net market value (“NMV”) may also decline. Our NMV is determined by multiplying the number of kilograms of indium held by us by the last spot price for indium published by the Metal Bulletin posted on Bloomberg L.P., plus cash and other assets, less any liabilities. The spot price for indium is published by the Metal Bulletin and posted on Bloomberg L.P. bi-weekly and we intend to publish the updated spot price, the quantity of our indium held in inventory and our NMV on our website on a bi-weekly basis. Regardless of our ability to purchase indium in a timely manner, we will incur initial offering expenses of approximately $500,000 and projected yearly operating expenses of approximately $1,548,000 prior to spending any proceeds from this offering to stockpile indium. We anticipate our yearly operating expenses will increase by approximately $152,000 to approximately $1,700,000 per annum once we are able to fully utilize the net proceeds from this offering allocated to purchase and stockpile indium. The price of indium would need to appreciate substantially to offset the reduction in our NMV due to the expenses listed above. The percentage increase required cannot be accurately determined at this time. It is highly dependent upon several variables including, but not limited to, the exact number of kilograms of indium purchased, the average price paid and the amount of time it takes for us to fully spend the net proceeds from this offering to complete the buildup of our indium stockpile.

Private Placement

On January 8, 2010, we completed a private placement offering of an aggregate of 1,163,600 units to 61 investors for gross proceeds of $5,818,000. Each unit consisted of one share of Class A common stock, par value $.001 per share, and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.75 per share, which shall become exercisable upon the closing of this offering. In accordance with the terms of the private placement, upon the successful completion of this offering, each share of Class A common stock shall automatically convert into one share of common stock, subject to certain adjustments, including the purchase price of the private placement unit compared to the purchase price of the units in this offering, the amount of time elapsed between the private placement and successful completion of this offering, and the change in our NMV between the closing of the private placement and this offering, as more fully discussed elsewhere in this prospectus. We will also issue additional warrants to the investors in the 2009

Information regarding the indium industry’s largest producers and users, including data regarding exclusive long-term purchase or supply agreements, is limited and not readily available. Such inability to access this information places us at a potential competitive disadvantage, which may adversely affect our ability to purchase and stockpile indium.

Indium industry producers and users do not publicly disclose sufficient information to determine with certainty the largest producers and users of indium. In addition, company-specific indium usage is not information that is typically publicly disclosed by industry participants. This makes it difficult for investors to assess indium industry dynamics, our competition, and various other risks we face.

Industry producers, recyclers, secondary fabs, and end users do not reveal industry data quantifying the amount of indium purchased or sold under long-term exclusive supply contracts. As a result, we may not be able to determine if certain suppliers have long-term supply contracts with other parties, which may adversely affect our ability to obtain indium from such supplier. The lack of industry information could hinder our ability to purchase and stockpile indium.

In addition, we are not aware of any additional information, if any, regarding the indium market, or the type of market information other industry producers, purchasers, suppliers and other market participants may possess. Our inability to access this information, if any, places us at a potential relative competitive disadvantage to other market participants who may have access to such information. This may adversely affect our ability to purchase and stockpile indium.

Investors may face difficulty accessing the quoted price for indium on a daily basis, which may negatively impact an investor’s ability to assess the value of their investment.

Indium’s market price is infrequently quoted and investors may have to pay for subscriptions to various data service providers to access such information. Metal Bulletin, as posted on Bloomberg L.P., publishes the spot price of indium on a bi-weekly basis. We intend to post on our website, Metal Bulletin’s published spot price of indium on a bi-weekly basis as well. Therefore, shareholders will not be able to access an updated spot price on a daily basis. Accordingly, investors in our common stock may not be able to readily access information regarding the current market price for indium prior to making an investment decision.

We expect to rely on a limited number of potential suppliers and purchasers of indium, which could affect our ability to buy and sell indium in a timely manner and negatively influence market prices.

The indium market is illiquid and considered small compared to the markets for base metals. There are a limited number of suppliers and purchasers of indium. If new companies are formed to purchase and stockpile indium, this would adversely affect our ability to procure sufficient quantities of indium on a timely basis or even at all.

Relying on a limited number of potential suppliers of indium and potential customers who purchase indium could (1) make it difficult to buy and sell indium in a timely manner, (2) negatively influence market prices by potentially having to sell indium to cover our operating expenses, or (3) drive up market prices if we are a large purchaser of indium and there is an indium shortage. As of the date of this prospectus, we have purchased an aggregate of 9.2 tons of indium using the proceeds of the 2009 Private Placement from three regular indium suppliers at an average price of $500.00 per kilogram. Except for purchasing the 9.2 tons of indium from three suppliers, we have had limited discussion with other potential suppliers of indium and no other contracts or negotiations have been entered into with any other suppliers or purchasers of indium, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to meet our required purchases of indium.

We purchased 78.2% of our current indium stockpile utilizing the proceeds from the 2009 Private Placement from a current stockholder, Traxys North America LLC, and future purchases may present a conflict of interest.

Traxys Projects LP, 100% owned by Traxys S.a.r.l and its wholly owned subsidiary, Traxys North America LLC, and Traxys Commodity Fund LP each invested $500,000 in our 2009 Placement. This represents beneficial ownership in our Company by entities affiliated with Traxys North America LLC of 15.2% prior to this offering and 2.1%, if we successfully complete the proposed offering. We purchased an

TABLE OF CONTENTS

aggregate 7.2 tons of indium, approximately 78.2% of our current stockpile, from Traxys North America LLC utilizing proceeds from the 2009 Placement in which we spent approximately $4.6 million between December 2009 and March 2010 in 21 separate purchase orders. We believe we paid the fair market price at the time of each particular purchase order. Traxys North America LLC is an established and reputable indium supplier. We did not and do not have any outstanding special agreements or arrangements with Traxys S.a.r.l or any of its affiliates including its wholly owned subsidiary, Traxys North America LLC. Neither Traxys S.a.r.l nor any of its subsidiaries has any capital interest in Traxys Commodity Fund L.P. (the “Fund”) either as a general partner or as a limited partner; it does however have a portion of the carried interest in the Fund and is entitled to receive management fees from the Fund for providing management services. The Chairman and the CEO of Traxys North America LLC comprise two of the four members of the board of the Fund’s general partner and, subject to the Board’s approval, are primarily responsible for the Fund’s investment decisions. We may attempt to purchase additional indium from Traxys North America LLC in the future and we may not be able to negotiate similar or more favorable pricing terms.

The substitution of other materials for indium may decrease demand for indium and adversely affect the price of indium and, thus, our stock price.

Indium has substitutes in many, perhaps most, of its uses. Silicon has largely replaced indium in transistors. Gallium can be used in some applications as a substitute for indium in several alloys. In glass-coating applications, silver-zinc oxides or tin-oxides can be used. Zinc-tin oxides can be used in liquid crystal displays (“LCDs”). Other possible substitutes for indium glass coating are transparent carbon nanotubes and graphene. Indium phosphide can be substituted by gallium arsenide in solar cells and in many semiconductor applications. Hafnium can replace indium alloys in nuclear reactor control rods. The substitutions of such materials for indium may decrease the overall demand for indium, thereby lowering the price of indium and our common stock.

It will take time to acquire our supply of indium and during such time the price of indium may fluctuate and we may not purchase our stockpile at favorable prices.

We will expend 85% of the net proceeds of this offering to purchase our stockpile of indium within 18 months from the date of this prospectus. The price we pay for 99.99% purity indium ingots will fluctuate with the spot price of indium. Therefore the price per kilogram of indium may increase and we may not be able to purchase indium at favorable prices.

Our operating results are subject to fluctuation in the price of indium, which is subject to macroeconomic conditions that are largely outside of our control.

Our activities almost entirely will involve purchasing and stockpiling the metal indium. Therefore, the principal factors affecting the price of our securities are factors which affect the price of indium and are thus beyond our control. We may engage in lending transactions or sell portions of our indium stockpile if we need additional capital to cover annual operating expenses, so the value of our securities will depend upon, and typically fluctuate with, fluctuations in the price of indium. The market prices of indium are affected by rates of reclaiming and recycling of indium, rates of production of indium from mining, demand from end users of indium and indium-tin-oxide, and may be affected by a variety of unpredictable international economic, monetary and political considerations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Macroeconomic considerations that may affect the price of indium include expectations of future rates of inflation, the strength of, and confidence in, the U.S. dollar, the currency in which the price of indium is generally quoted, and other currencies, interest rates and global or regional economic events. In addition to changes in production costs, shifts in political and economic conditions affecting indium producing countries may have a direct impact on their sales of indium. The fluctuation of the prices of indium is illustrated by the following table, which sets forth, for the periods indicated, the highs and lows of the spot price for indium:

		Spot Indium Prices (1) 99.99% Purity (U.S.$/KG)
		2002				2003				2004				2005				2006				2007				2008				2009				2010
High			110				330				910				1070				1025				750				730				550				650
Low			70				80				305				800				680				510				350				300				470

The price of indium has declined substantially since it peaked in March 2005. The price for indium has declined 48.8% from its high of $1,070 per kilogram in March 2005 to $547.50 per kilogram as of December 1, 2010. If we began operations in March 2005, and we purchased our stockpile at peak prices, the value of our stockpile would have decreased by more than 48.8% in approximately five years.

There may be a lack of correlation between indium prices, our NMV and our stock price.

Given the fee structure with our Manager and our operational expenses, the trading price of our common stock as listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, or other quoted exchange, may not correlate with the trading price of indium. Regardless of our ability to purchase indium in a timely manner, we will incur initial offering expenses of approximately $500,000 and projected yearly operating expenses of approximately $1,548,000 prior to spending any proceeds from this offering to stockpile indium. We anticipate our yearly operating expenses will increase by approximately $152,000 to approximately $1,700,000 per annum once we are able to fully utilize the net proceeds from this offering allocated to purchase and stockpile indium. The price of indium would need to appreciate substantially to offset the reduction in our NMV due to the expenses listed above. The percentage increase required cannot be accurately determined at this time. It is highly dependent upon various variable factors including, but not limited to, the exact number of kilograms of indium purchased and the average price paid and the amount of time it takes for us to fully spend the allocated net proceeds from this offering to complete the buildup of our indium stockpile. As a result, there may be a lack of correlation between the trading price of indium, our NMV and our stock price.

The amount the price of indium needs to appreciate for us to achieve breakeven results in our NMV is difficult for potential investors to accurately determine because it is highly dependent upon several variables.

Regardless of our ability to purchase indium in a timely manner, we will incur initial offering expenses of approximately $500,000 and projected yearly operating expenses of approximately $1,548,000 prior to spending any proceeds from this offering to stockpile indium. We anticipate our operating expenses will increase by approximately $152,000 to approximately $1,700,000 per annum once we are able to fully utilize the net proceeds from this offering allocated to purchase and stockpile indium. The price of indium would need to appreciate substantially to offset the reduction in our NMV due to the expenses listed above and for us to achieve breakeven results in our NMV.

It is highly dependent upon several variables including, but not limited to, the exact number of kilograms of indium purchased, the average price paid and the amount of time it takes for us to fully expend the net proceeds from this offering to complete the buildup of our indium stockpile.

Our NMV is based on the price of 99.99% purity indium as quoted by Metal Bulletin and posted on Bloomberg L.P. Other information service providers may quote indium prices that differ from Metal Bulletin as posted on Bloomberg L.P., which may affect investors’ ability to determine our NMV.

Metal Bulletin quotes the price of 99.99% (known as “4N”) purity indium in US Dollars per kilogram in Rotterdam warehouse, the universally recognized standard for location and industry-wide pricing for physical metals. Other services may quote the price of indium differently from Metal Bulletin’s price as quoted on

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Bloomberg L.P. for a variety of reasons such as variations in purity levels, location of material, and source of origin. This may affect investors’ ability to accurately determine our NMV.

99.97% purity indium (3N7) may differ in price from 99.99% purity indium (4N) or even 99.999% purity indium (5N) based on market conditions.

There is no fixed price ratio between 3N7, 4N or 5N material in the indium industry. All purchases and sales of indium are individually negotiated. Typically, in a regular indium market, balanced supply and demand, the higher the purity of the indium, the more it costs. 4N indium is slightly more expensive than 3N7. 5N is slightly more expensive than 4N. In a declining indium market, the price of 3N7 purity indium is often quoted at an even greater discount to indium with purities of 4N or 5N. In some cases, the prices may be as much as 2.0% to 5.0% lower. Typically, when the price of indium is appreciating, there is often no difference in the price of 3N7 purity indium compared to 4N or 5N purity metal. These variations in indium prices may affect investors’ ability to accurately determine our NMV.

New York dealer price quotations may differ from European price quotations and Far East price quotations due to a variety of factors, which differences may affect investors’ ability to accurately determine our NMV.

At any given time, there are varying price quotations between different regions in the world. Some factors that may influence price variability include regional natural disasters that may drive up the price within that certain region because a local shortage of material may develop. At times, a surplus of indium may develop in certain regions that drive down prices locally as compared to the rest of the world. We will publish on our website our NMV bi-weekly. These changes in market conditions could negatively affect an investor’s ability to accurately determine our NMV on a daily basis.

There has been no prior market for our units, our unit price may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations and any volatility in our unit price could result in claims against us.

Prior to this offering, investors could not buy or sell our units publicly. An active public market for our units may not develop or be sustained after the offering. The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiations between the underwriters’ representatives and us. The market price of our units may decline below the initial public offering price after this offering.

The market price of our units may fluctuate significantly in response to the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:

In the past, securities class action litigation has been brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources.

Due to our size and the illiquid nature of the indium market, we may have a direct impact on the price of indium.

We may have a direct impact on the price of indium. Due to our size and the illiquid nature of the indium market, we may inadvertently push prices up when deploying our cash to build our stockpile or conversely negatively impact the price of indium when and if we sell indium from our stockpile. This could have a substantial negative impact on our NMV and would be expected to cause a decrease in our stock price.

Approximately 50% of the world’s refined indium production is controlled by China, which may adversely affect our ability to purchase indium.

China controls over 50% of the world’s refined indium production. There are a number of major producers in China, but also numerous smaller producers, relying on purchasing the concentrates, or unrefined ore, from the larger base-metal refiners. China produces approximately 250 to 350 metric tons of indium per year. The Chinese government restricts indium’s export with taxes. In October 2010, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce issued a quota allowing China to export 233 metric tons of indium in 2011, unchanged from 2010. Most of China’s indium output is exported, with domestic demand unable to currently sustain production. If the Chinese government reduces export quotas or ceases all of its exports of indium, it may affect the availability of indium and our ability to purchase indium in a timely manner and may limit us to purchasing primary indium production from countries outside of China.

Any disruptions in the operations of mining for zinc, including earthquakes or other natural disasters, would have a direct impact on the production and availability of indium, which may adversely affect our ability to purchase indium.

Indium is a byproduct of zinc mining. Zinc mines by their nature are subject to many operational risks and factors that are completely outside of our control and could impact our business, operating results and ability to purchase indium. These operational risks and factors include, but are not limited to:

In May 2008, an earthquake in China completely halted ten zinc smelters in Sichuan province’s Deyang, Hanyuan and Ganzi regions, as well as in nearby southern regions of Shaanxi province and Gansu Province, due to damaged facilities and power supply failures. It was estimated that 510,000 metric tons of zinc smelting capacity was affected, or approximately 7.0% of China’s national total. If those zinc smelters were refining indium and were shut down for one full year, it is estimated that as much as 21.7 metric tons, or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

3.8% of primary indium production would have been lost. The lack of availability of indium could hinder our ability to purchase and stockpile indium.

Any cessation in production by zinc metallurgical plants capable of processing indium would have a direct impact on the availability of indium, which may adversely affect our ability to purchase indium.

Indium is a byproduct of zinc mining. Indium is processed in metallurgical plants that specifically smelt, refine and extract indium from zinc. Metallurgical plants by their nature are subject to many operational risks and economic factors that are completely outside of our control and could impact our business, operating results and ability to purchase indium. In December 2009, Xstrata Plc announced that on May 1, 2010 it will permanently cease operation of its copper and zinc metallurgical plants at the Kidd Metallurgical site in Timmins, Ontario, Canada. According to Roskill, a service provider of information on international metals and minerals markets, in its report titled “The Economics of Indium, 2003,” the Kidd Metallurgical Division was capable of refining up to 40 tons per year of indium. According to the USGS, Xstrata produced 11 tons of refined indium at Kidd Creek in 2007 and eight tons in 2008. Although the exact volume of lost output is still unclear, the American Metal Market reported on May 13, 2010 that Xstrata confirmed the smelter produced 11.5 tons in 2009. If the Kidd Metallurgical plant was operating at full capacity and is subsequently shutdown, it is estimated that there will be a 6.7% decrease in the primary supply of indium based on the USGS’s 2009 yearly production figures. If global indium production remains flat in 2010, based on Xstrata’s confirmed 2009 production rate of 11.5 tons of refined indium, the closure of Kidd Creek will reduce primary output of global indium production by 1.9%. This reduction in the supply of indium could hinder our ability to purchase and stockpile indium.

The shutdown of smelters due to excessive environmental pollution may hinder our ability to purchase indium in a timely manner.

The smelting process used to extract indium from zinc ore and to refine indium to higher purities uses highly toxic chemicals like sulfuric acid. Heightened global environmental concerns may lead to the closure of smelters that excessively pollute the environment. The closure of smelters that extract and refine indium may affect our ability to purchase indium in a timely manner.

Technological obsolescence may reduce demand for indium which would adversely impact our NMV and our stock price.

It is possible that the next generation TV or portable device market (“PDA”) screens may render the use of indium-tin-oxide obsolete. Considering 84.0% of indium demand currently comes from the FPD market, this would drastically reduce demand for indium and cause a precipitous drop in the price of indium. This would have a substantially negative impact on our NMV and our stock price.

Recycling of indium has increased in recent years which may reduce the demand for newly refined indium.

The recycling of indium has increased in recent years. The indium recycling market is now larger than primary refinery production. The USGS does not provide specific data for the recycling market but stated in their 2008 indium summary that global secondary indium production increased significantly during the past several years and now accounts for a greater share of indium production than primary production. The USGS also stated in their 2008 indium summary that this trend is expected to continue in the future and several major secondary indium producers in Japan and the Republic of Korea announced plans to further increase their recycling capacity. It is not known when the supply of recycled material from end products such as FPDs, LCDs or PDAs will re-circulate back into the recycling market, which may increase indium supply and negatively affect indium prices. If recycling activity continues to grow and becomes more efficient, this may adversely impact the price of indium and therefore the value of our stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may not be able to stockpile indium in a timely manner because we cannot purchase indium from recyclers.

There is little firm data provided by any of the indium recyclers. We do not expect that we will be able to purchase any indium directly from the recycling market. Industry insiders consider the recycling market a “closed loop.” End users (i.e., FPD manufacturers) recapture residual indium scrap from Indium-Tin-Oxide in an unusable form during the manufacturing process. The end user then contracts with an indium recycler to specially reprocess and refine the scrap indium back into 3N7 minimum purity indium metal ingot. The process is extremely complex and can take in excess of 12 weeks from collection to re-fabrication back into purified usable indium. This “closed loop,” from end user to recycler back to end user, is performed under contract and will operate to limit our purchases of indium to the primary refinery market, which is smaller than the recycled market. Our inability to purchase indium from recyclers may impact our ability to stockpile indium in a timely manner.

Our stockpile of indium may decrease over time due to sales of indium necessary to pay our annual operating expenses. Without increases in the price of indium sufficient to compensate for such decreases, the price of our stock and our NMV may also decline.

The quantity of indium held in our stockpile may decrease over time due to sales of indium necessary to pay our annual expenses. Without increases in the price of indium sufficient to compensate for that decrease, the price of our stock and our NMV will decline. Since we do not have any income, we need to sell indium to cover our yearly operating expenses. We may also be subject to other liabilities (for example, as a result of litigation) which have not been calculated into our business plan. Our only current source of funds to cover those liabilities will be sales of indium held in our stockpile. An increase in our annual operating expenses, or the existence of unexpected liabilities affecting us without any additional capital raising activities, will force us to sell larger amounts of our indium stockpile, and will result in a more rapid decrease in our NMV.

Potential recessionary economic conditions may decrease demand for indium-based products and therefore adversely affect the price of indium and lower our NMV and stock price.

There is a direct correlation between the price of indium and the NMV of our company. Potential recessionary economic conditions in the United States and/or globally could result in decreased demand for the products that are manufactured using indium, such as FPDs, LCDs, and PDAs. This could cause the price of indium to drop and reduce our NMV, negatively affecting our stock price.

The Manager might have a conflict of interest insofar as the management fee to be paid by us to our Manager will increase as we sell more stock in subsequent offerings thereby increasing the NMV of the indium stockpile on which the management fee is based.

The management fee to be paid by us to the Manager is dependent on our NMV. Therefore, if we raise additional capital, we will have more cash available for the purchase of indium. In making the decision to raise additional capital and negotiate the terms of future offerings, there is a risk that the Manager may value its own interest in the management fee more than the interests of our public stockholders, resulting in a conflict of interest, which may not necessarily be resolved in the best interests of our public stockholders (including that it may be more likely that we conclude to pursue subsequent issuances of stock and increase our stockpile of indium, and therefore make an effort to increase our NMV).

We will issue a minimum of 11,476,320 additional shares of our common stock upon the effectiveness of this offering, which would result in a dilution of our stockholders.

Immediately prior to the consummation of this offering, our certificate of incorporation, as amended, will authorize the issuance of up to 40,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Immediately after this offering (assuming conversion of the shares of Class A common stock offered in the 2009 Private Placement reflecting the 20% adjustment feature, not reflecting the NMV adjustment feature (not determined until immediately preceding the closing of this offering) and no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option), there will be 15,509,561 authorized but unissued shares of our common stock available for issuance (after appropriate

TABLE OF CONTENTS

reservation for the issuance of shares of common stock upon full exercise of 11,201,400 outstanding warrants resulting from this offering and the 2009 Private Placement, the exercise of an additional 232,720 warrants to be issued to the investors in the 2009 Private Placement, the unit purchase option granted to the representatives of the underwriters, 155,000 options granted to the Manager in connection with the 2009 Private Placement, 150,000 options granted to the Manager for conversion of the promissory note payable by us to the Manager in the aggregate amount of $265,000 plus interest, 150,000 options granted to the Manager for conversion of 75,000 common shares by the Manager, an aggregate of 124,999 options granted to members of our board of directors and Chief Financial Officer pursuant to our 2008 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan) and all of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock available for issuance. Although we have no commitment as of the date of this prospectus, we may issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common or preferred stock, or a combination of common and preferred stock, to obtain future financing. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock or any number of shares of our preferred stock:

Immediately after successful completion of this offering, our Private Placement's Class A Shareholders are entitled to an adjustment reflecting: (i) the 20% increase in units associated with the failure to complete an IPO within a certain timeframe; plus (ii) the NMV adjustment which is computed by multiplying the number of kilograms of indium held by us by the last spot price for indium published by Metal Bulletin posted on Bloomberg L.P., plus cash and other assets, less any liabilities. Assuming the NMV approximates $4.53 (assumes that the indium value approximates the book value at such date) upon successfully completing this offering, we will record a preferential dividend charge to the Common Shareholders of approximately $1,054,000 relating to the additional 232,720 shares issued to the Class A Shareholders.

The NMV is determined by multiplying the number of kilograms of indium held by us by the last spot price for indium published by the Metal Bulletin posted on Bloomberg L.P., plus cash and other assets, less any liabilities. The spot price for indium is published by the Metal Bulletin and posted on Bloomberg L.P. on a bi-weekly basis. Assuming the Indium value approximates the book value at such date; then the NMV would thus approximate the Net Tangible Book Value Per Share at the IPO date which as noted in the Form S-1 is approximately $4.53 per share

Our NMV may be negatively impacted by the number of common shares issued to the 2009 Private Placement shareholders which includes an adjustment factor determined by the change in our NMV.

The number of common shares to be issued to the 2009 Private Placement shareholders in connection with this offering is determined based on an adjustment factor that reflects the change in the NMV of our company from the closing of the 2009 Private Placement to the consummation of this offering. To determine the final adjustment factor, the closing NMV of our company is calculated based on the valuation of our stockpile of indium held in inventory prior to this offering plus cash and any other assets, less any and all of our outstanding payables, indebtedness and any other liabilities. If the price of indium at the closing of this offering is lower than the average price for indium in the previous three month period, this may be dilutive to the NMV at the time of this offering and result in the issuance of additional shares of our common stock to the 2009 Private Placement shareholders, which dilution will negatively impact new shareholders.

If our NMV substantially decreases, the Manager may have an increased incentive to liquidate our stockpile and return the proceeds to the stockholders.

Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, as amended and restated, our Manager is entitled to a 2.0% management fee per annum based on our NMV. Since some members of our board of directors are also

TABLE OF CONTENTS

members of our Manager, our board of directors may elect to liquidate our business in the event there is a substantial reduction to our NMV in accordance with the Manager’s wishes. Such liquidation may occur at an inopportune time, when the disposition of indium could result in a loss to our stockholders.

Our officers and directors have limited experience in purchasing, stockpiling, selling, storing, insuring and lending indium and our officers and directors have limited experience in purchasing, selling, storing, insuring and lending minor metals.

Our officers and directors have only limited experience purchasing storing, and insuring the metal indium. Our officers and directors have only limited experience in purchasing, selling, storing, insuring and lending minor metals. Only our Chief Executive Officer has experience purchasing, selling, storing, insuring and lending precious metals, minor metals, base metals, non-exchange metals and illiquid metals, but not indium. As a result they may not be able to effectively manage our business.

We may lend some of the indium that we acquire and the inability of the borrower to return to us equivalent quantity and purity indium so loaned could have a material adverse effect on the share price of our common stock.

We may engage in lending indium from time to time if we need additional capital to cover operating expenses. In such lending transaction, we will physically deliver indium to the borrower. At the end of the loan term, the borrower is required to return an equivalent quantity and purity level of physical indium to us and pay us a fee based upon the value of the metal loaned and the time duration of the loan. If the borrower is unable to return to us an equivalent quantity and level of purity of indium, we may not be able to replace the indium loaned from other sources at favorable prices. In such instances, we may not be able to recoup our losses through litigation and we would incur a loss which could have a material adverse effect on the share price of our common stock.

We will depend upon third parties to provide us with warehousing services, and system failures or other problems at these third-party warehousing facilities could cause us to lose revenues.

We currently and will continue to store indium in secure facilities owned and operated by third-party warehousing providers. If we are unable to continue to rely on third parties to provide us with these services and warehousing space in a timely fashion or if these services or warehousing space become impaired, whether through labor shortage, slow down or stoppage, deteriorating financial or business condition or other system failures, or if we face competition for these services, or for any other reason, we would not be able, at least temporarily or at competitive prices, to store or acquire indium. We also may be unable to engage alternative warehousing services on a timely basis, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We will not engage a custodian to safeguard the indium held in third-party storage facilities.

We have not and will not retain a custodian to oversee our indium holdings stored at third-party facilities. A custodian is responsible for safekeeping of the metal and selecting direct subcustodians, if any. A custodian facilitates the transfer of the metal in and out of the trust account, allocates specific bars of metal to the trust allocated account and provides the trustee with regular reports detailing the metal transfers in and out of the trust. The custodian is also a market maker, clearer and approved weigher of such metal. The third-party storage facilities we use to store our indium provide services similar to those provided by a custodian, such as storage and safeguarding of the indium stockpile, visual inspections, spot checks, arranging and facilitating for independent third-party assays, confirmation of deliveries to supplier packing lists, and reporting of transfers and inventory status to our company and auditors. If the third-party storage facilities we engage cannot adequately provide such similar services as provided by a custodian, then this could adversely affect the value, the security, the quantity and our ability to keep track of our indium holdings. In addition, it may jeopardize our ability to comply with NASDAQ’s listing requirements for a CSC.

Potential additional regulation of the purchase, sale or storage of indium may adversely affect our operations and may increase our costs.

We may be affected by changes in regulatory requirements, customs, duties or other taxes regarding indium. Although we are not currently aware of any potential changes in the regulatory requirements regarding indium, such changes could, depending on their nature, adversely affect us by increasing our costs.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The proceeds of this offering will not be held in an escrow account.

The net proceeds of this offering will not be held in an escrow account. Except for the requirement to spend 85% of the net proceeds from this offering on the purchase and stockpile of indium, there are no other restrictions on our ability to use such funds for any corporate purpose we deem necessary to accomplish our corporate objectives as described herein. In the event we distribute unused proceeds to our stockholders, there can be no assurance as to the amount of proceeds which will then be available for such distribution resulting from losses, third-party claims, damages, liabilities and any and all other costs and expenses associated with the operation of our business.

Our Manager and the contracted third-party storage facilities it utilizes will not be responsible for hiring independent labs to perform assay tests on every ingot of indium delivered to us to verify that such indium meets the minimum 99.99% purity requirements referred to in our prospectus. If the indium purchased is below spec grade of 99.99% purity, the value of our indium stockpile will be worth less than stated.

Our Manager will be responsible for ensuring that the contracted third-party storage facilities it utilizes conducts visual inspections, spot checks and hires independent labs to randomly assay, at our expense, the indium delivered to us. Our Manager and contracted third-party storage facilities will not be responsible for conducting chemical assays or other tests designed to verify that every indium ingot delivered meets the minimum 99.99% purity requirements referred to in our prospectus. Our Manager will rely on the good faith of its suppliers to provide indium that meets our requirements. If the indium purchased is below spec grade of 99.99% purity, the value of our indium stockpile will be worth less than stated, we would therefore incur a write down, which would negatively impact the NMV of our company and harm our reputation. If indium is purchased from or loaned to a third-party supplier that is not known to be a regular industry supplier, our Manager, at its discretion, may hire, at our expense, an independent lab to perform random assay tests using glow-discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS) to verify the purity of the indium. The Manager anticipates purchasing indium with a minimum purity of 99.99%. We do not intend to brand specific companies and assayers. We consider the miners, refiners, suppliers and trading houses listed in our “Competition” section to be a partial list of known regular indium industry suppliers. The contracted third-party facilities we utilize will only use, at our expense, reputable independent assayers to randomly test indium delivered to us. It is possible that our indium stockpile will contain ingots of a purity level below 99.99%, which would decrease our NMV and negatively impact our share price.

We are a development stage company with a limited operating history and, accordingly, you will have a limited basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.

We are a development stage company with a limited operating history. Therefore, our ability to scale operations is dependent upon obtaining financing through a public offering of our securities. Since we have only limited operations and a limited operating history, you will have a limited basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective, which is to acquire and stockpile indium. We will not generate any revenues or income until, at the earliest, after lending or selling some or all of the indium that we acquired with the proceeds from the 2009 Private Placement and/or with the proceeds from this offering.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on us raising funds in this offering.

We have no present revenue and will not generate any revenue until, at the earliest, after the sale or lending of indium that we acquire with the offering proceeds. We have a limited amount of available cash and working capital. The report of our independent registered public accountants on our financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph referring to conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to commence operations and realize our business plan is dependent upon our ability to complete this offering. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete this offering or that the completion of this offering will lead to the successful execution of our business plan. Further, should we be unable to complete this offering by November 24, 2011, our corporate charter states that our existence shall be terminated, our affairs shall be wound up and we shall liquidate. In the event we are able to complete this offering prior to November 24, 2011, our corporate charter will be amended to extend the life of our Company to perpetuity immediately prior to completion of the offering. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may suffer from losses as a result of our inability to obtain insurance to cover loss or theft of our inventory.

We currently store and expect to continue to store our inventory at third-party warehouse facilities and require the third-party facilities to maintain an adequate level of insurance to protect us from loss due to theft, damage or other events. We may, in the alternative, seek our own insurance coverage for such potential losses. We may not be able to obtain such insurance, or that the level of coverage will keep us fully insured due to the fluctuating value of indium. Further, the cost of such insurance may impact our operating expenses, whether obtained by us or through the third-party facility.

We may need to raise additional capital and may encounter unforeseen costs. If the terms on which the additional capital is available are unsatisfactory or if the additional capital is not available at all, we may not be able to pursue our objective and strategy.

Our expenses will be funded from cash on hand from the proceeds of the offering not otherwise utilized for the purchase of indium. Once such cash available has been spent, we will be required to generate cash resources from the sale or lending of indium, debt incurrence or the sale of additional equity securities. Our ability to obtain additional financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions, as well as our business performance and the value of indium. We may not be successful in our efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to us or at all. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of common stock you may suffer additional dilution and if additional financing is raised through debt financing, it may involve significant restrictive covenants which could affect our ability to operate our business. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to continue our operations, grow our business or take advantage of opportunities in connection with the operation of our business.

We may choose to redeem our outstanding warrants at a time that is disadvantageous to our warrant holders.

Subject to there being a current prospectus with respect to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, we may redeem the warrants included in our units at any time after six months following the effective date of this prospectus in whole and not in part, at a price of $.01 per warrant, upon a minimum of 30 days prior written notice of redemption, if and only if, the last sales price of our common stock equals or exceeds $8.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption. In addition, we may not redeem the warrants unless the warrants comprising the units sold in this offering and the shares of common stock underlying those warrants are covered by an effective registration statement from the beginning of the measurement period through the date fixed for the redemption. Redemption of the warrants could force the warrant holders (i) to exercise the warrants and pay the exercise price at a time when it may be disadvantageous for the holders to do so, (ii) to sell the warrants at the then current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold the warrants, or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the warrants. We expect most purchasers of our warrants will hold their securities through one or more intermediaries and consequently you are unlikely to receive notice directly from us that the warrants are being redeemed. If you fail to receive notice of redemption from a third-party and your warrants are redeemed for nominal value, you will not have recourse to us.

We are required to use our best efforts to have an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants at the time that our warrant holders exercise their warrants. We cannot guarantee that a registration statement will be effective, in which case our warrant holders may not be able to exercise our warrants.

Holders of our warrants will be able to exercise the warrants only if (i) a current registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the shares of our common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and (ii) such shares of common stock are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under the applicable securities laws of the states in which the various holders of warrants reside. We will undertake in the underwriting agreement to be executed between us and the underwriters, and therefore will have a contractual obligation, to use our best efforts to maintain a current registration statement covering the shares

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of common stock underlying the warrants following completion of this offering to the extent required by federal securities laws, and we intend to comply with our undertaking. We may not be able to comply with such undertaking. In addition, we will agree to use our reasonable efforts to register the shares of common stock underlying the warrants under the blue sky laws of the states of residence of the existing warrant holders, to the extent an exemption is not available. The value of the warrants may be greatly reduced if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not kept current or if the securities are not qualified, or exempt from qualification, in the states in which the holders of warrants reside. Holders of warrants who reside in jurisdictions in which the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are not qualified and in which there is no exemption will be unable to exercise their warrants and would either have to sell their warrants in the open market or allow them to expire unexercised. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

We depend upon our senior management and their loss or unavailability could put us at a competitive disadvantage.

We currently depend upon the efforts and abilities of our senior executive officers, particularly Alan Benjamin, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ailon Grushkin, our President, and Richard Biele, our Chief Operating Officer, each of whom is also a member of our Manager. The loss or unavailability of the services of any of these individuals for any significant period of time would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Manager may terminate the Management Services Agreement, as amended and restated, after the initial term in accordance with the terms thereof. We may not be able to readily secure similar services as those to be provided under the Management Services Agreement and our operations will therefore be adversely affected if our Management Services Agreement is terminated.

Members of our Board of Directors have not worked together as a group for a significant period of time and they each have only some or no experience as a director of a public company. As a result, they may not be able to effectively manage our business.

Our board of directors consists of three executive directors and four independent directors. Only one of our current independent directors has experience as a director of a public company. As a result, our board of directors will lack a history of working together as a group and currently lacks significant experience in operating a public company. The lack of shared experience and lack of significant experience of our board of directors in operating a public company could have an adverse effect on its ability to quickly and efficiently respond to problems and effectively manage our business and deal effectively with the issues surrounding the operation of a public company.

Our officers and directors may allocate their time to other businesses, thereby causing conflicts of interest regarding the amount of time such officers and directors will devote to our affairs, which could affect our business.

Our officers and directors are not required to commit their full time to our affairs, which could create a conflict of interest when allocating their time between our operations and their other commitments. Our Manager, officers and board of directors will allocate, in the aggregate, approximately 89 hours per week during the stockpiling phase of the business plan. Once the stockpiling effort is complete, the number of hours allocated by the Manager, officers and board of directors to our affairs in the aggregate will be approximately 49 hours per week. Our executive officers and directors are currently employed by other entities and are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our affairs. If other entities require them to devote more substantial amounts of time to their business and affairs, it could limit their ability to devote time to our affairs and could have a negative impact on our operations. These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We have limited protections in place to prevent our Manager from competing with us, which may adversely affect our business.

We have limited protections in place to prevent our Manager from competing with our company or taking on a potential business opportunity intended for our company for itself. Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, the Manager may compete with us or take a business opportunity for itself as long as the Manager does not interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any then existing relationship, contractual or otherwise, between our company or our subsidiaries and any of our customers, suppliers, clients, executives, employees, vendors, licensees or business relations or other persons with whom we or our subsidiaries deal or in any way disparage our company to any of the above. As a result, this would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations if such persons were to compete with the company.

Stockholders will not have the protections associated with ownership of shares in an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the protections afforded by the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936 (“Commodity Exchange Act” or “CEA”).

We are not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and are not required to register under such act. Consequently, stockholders will not have the regulatory protections provided to investors in investment companies. We will not hold or trade in commodity futures contracts regulated by the CEA, as administered by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). Furthermore, we are not a commodity pool for purposes of the CEA, and neither we nor the Manager is subject to regulation by the CFTC as a commodity pool operator or a commodity trading advisor in connection with our securities. Consequently, stockholders will not have the regulatory protections provided to investors in CEA-regulated instruments or commodity pools.

Geopolitical and International Risks

International and political events could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

A significant portion of our revenue may be derived from non-United States operations and our indium will be warehoused at locations outside the United States, including Canada, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, which exposes us to risks inherent in doing business in each of the countries in which we transact business. The occurrence of any of the risks described below could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Operations in countries other than the United States are subject to various risks peculiar to each country. With respect to any particular country, these risks may include:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We could be subject to taxation in various jurisdictions with varying tax laws, which could adversely affect our operations.

We may have operations in countries other than the United States. Consequently, we could be subject to the jurisdiction of a significant number of taxing authorities. The income earned in these various jurisdictions is taxed on differing bases, including net income actually earned, net income deemed earned, and revenue-based tax withholding. The final determination of our tax liabilities involves the interpretation of local tax laws, tax treaties, and related authorities in each jurisdiction, as well as the significant use of estimates and assumptions regarding the scope of future operations and results achieved and the timing and nature of income earned and expenditures incurred. Changes in the operating environment, including changes in tax law and currency/repatriation controls, could impact the determination of our tax liabilities for a tax year.

Foreign exchange and currency risks could adversely affect our revenues and operating expenses.

A portion of our revenue and operating expenses may be in foreign currencies. If we choose to store indium in Canada, we may be adversely affected by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar. If we choose to store indium in the United Kingdom, we may be adversely affected by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar relative to the British Pound. If we chose to store indium in the Netherlands, we may be adversely affected by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro. As a result, we would be subject to significant risks, including:

We may conduct business in countries that have non-traded or “soft” currencies which, because of their restricted or limited trading markets, may be more difficult to exchange for “hard” currency. We may accumulate cash in soft currencies, and we may be limited in our ability to convert our profits into United States dollars or to repatriate the profits from those countries.

We may selectively use hedging transactions to limit our exposure to risks from doing business in foreign currencies. For those currencies that are not readily convertible, our ability to hedge our exposure would be limited because financial hedge instruments for those currencies are nonexistent or limited. Our ability to hedge would also be limited because pricing of hedging instruments, where they exist, is often volatile and not necessarily efficient.

In addition, the value of the derivative instruments could be impacted by:

Risks Related to Our Units and This Offering

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We are not a mutual fund and an investment in our units shall not be redeemable. In addition, our liquidity will rely principally on our ability to lend and sell indium. Accordingly, we are unlikely to have resources to declare any dividends or make other cash distributions unless and until a determination is made to sell a portion of our indium holdings. Since our inception we have not declared any dividends and we have no current intention to declare any dividends.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Determination of the NMV of our securities will materially impact the market price of our securities.

Our reported NMV per share is based on the spot prices of indium published by Metal Bulletin as posted on Bloomberg L.P. The per share NMV shall be determined by (x) multiplying the number of kilograms of our indium holdings by the last spot price for indium published by Metal Bulletin posted on Bloomberg L.P., plus cash and any other assets, less any and all of our outstanding payables, indebtedness and any other liabilities, (y) divided by our total number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, the NMV is a market value that may not necessarily reflect the actual “realizable value” upon the sale of our indium holdings. The market price of our securities is expected to vary based on the NMV. We will post our NMV on our website bi-weekly. We cannot predict whether the units will trade above, at or below our NMV.

Currently there is no liquid market for indium. Indium is often quoted on various data service providers with a price differential in excess of $50 per kilogram among providers. A price posted by one data service provider may be higher or lower than the price at which we can actually sell or purchase all or part of our indium stockpile. This will make it difficult for investors to determine our exact NMV and therefore the value of our stock.

If an active, liquid trading market for our units does not develop, you may not be able to sell your units quickly or at or above the initial offering price.

Prior to this offering, there has not been a public market for our units. An active and liquid trading market for our units may not develop or be sustained following this offering. You may not be able to sell your units quickly or at or above the initial offering price if trading in our units is not active. The initial public offering price may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market. See “Underwriting” for more information regarding the factors that will be considered in determining the initial public offering price.

Purchasers in this offering will experience immediate dilution in the book value of their investment.

The initial public offering price of our units is higher than the net tangible book value per share of our units immediately after this offering. Therefore, if you purchase our units in this offering, you will incur an immediate dilution of $0.47 per share (or 9.4%) in net tangible book value per unit from the price you paid, based upon the initial public offering price of $5.00 per unit. Conversion of the Class A common stock into shares of common stock and the exercise of outstanding options, warrants issued in and pursuant to the 2009 Private Placement and warrants underlying the units will result in further dilution of your investment. In addition, if we raise funds by issuing additional securities, the newly issued securities may further dilute your ownership interest.

Our outstanding options, warrants and unit purchase option may have an adverse effect on the market price of common stock and make it more difficult to obtain future financing.

Prior to this offering, as a result of the 2009 Private Placement, we had warrants to purchase up to 1,201,400 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Upon completion of this offering, we will issue an additional 232,720 warrants to the 2009 Private Placement investors. In connection with this offering, we will be issuing warrants to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock (11,500,000 shares of common stock if the underwriters’ over-allotment is exercised in full), and have agreed to issue to the representatives of the underwriters of this offering an option to purchase up to a total of 500,000 units. In connection with the 2008 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, we have agreed to issue options to purchase 124,999 shares of common stock to our chief financial officer and the independent members of our board of directors, which will fully vest and will become exercisable only upon the completion of this offering. Further, upon the closing of this offering, our Manager will hold options to purchase up to an aggregate of 455,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $4.50 per share, resulting from compensation in connection with the 2009 Private Placement, the conversion of promissory notes issued pursuant to a revolving credit line in the principal amount of $265,000 plus interest and the conversion of 75,000 common shares into stock options.

The sale or even the possibility of sale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants and such options could have an adverse effect on the market price for our securities or on our ability to obtain future financing. If and to the extent these warrants and options are exercised, you may experience dilution to your holdings.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The determination for the offering price of our units is more arbitrary compared with the pricing of securities for an operating company in a particular industry.

The public offering price of the units and the terms of the warrants were negotiated between us and the representatives of the underwriters. Factors considered in determining the prices and terms of the units, including the common stock and warrants underlying the units, include:

However, the determination of our offering price is more arbitrary than the pricing of securities for an operating company in a particular industry since we have no historical operations or financial results to compare them to.

We could issue “blank check” preferred stock without stockholder approval with the effect of diluting then current stockholder interests and impairing their voting rights.

Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue a series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, our common stockholders. The issuance of a series of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control. For example, it would be possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of our company.

If we cannot initially satisfy, or continue to satisfy, the NASDAQ Capital Market’s listing requirements, including the requirements as a “Commodity Stockpiling Company”, and other applicable regulatory rules, including NASDAQ’s director independence requirements, our securities may not be listed or may be delisted, which could negatively impact the price of our securities and your ability to sell them.

We have applied to have our securities approved for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market upon consummation of this offering. Our company is considered to be a “commodity stockpiling company” or “CSC” as defined by the NASDAQ, and therefore our company is subject to heightened initial and continued listing requirements. Such additional requirements include: (i) within 18 months of the effectiveness of a CSC’s initial public offering registration statement, the CSC must invest at least 85% of the net proceeds of such offering in the raw material or other commodity or return the unused amount pro-rata to its shareholders. The unused amount will be calculated based upon the sum of: a) monies spent by the CSC on acquiring the raw material or other commodity during the 18 month period, and b) monies contracted to be spent by the CSC on acquiring the raw material or other commodity over the ensuing 12 months; (ii) the CSC must publish, or facilitate access to, at no cost and in an easily accessible manner, regular pricing information regarding the raw material or other commodity from a reliable, independent source, at least as frequently as current industry practice of pricing such raw material or other commodity, and no less frequently than twice per week; (iii) the CSC must publish the NMV on a daily basis, or where pricing information for the raw material or other commodity is not available on a daily basis, no less frequently than twice per week, provided, however, if the spot price of the raw material or other commodity fluctuates by more than 5%, the CSC shall publish its NMV within one business day of such fluctuation; (iv) the CSC must publish the quantity of the raw material or other commodity held in inventory, the average price paid and the CSC’s

TABLE OF CONTENTS

NMV within two business days of any change in inventory held; (v) the CSC must employ the services of one or more independent third-party storage facilities, to safeguard the physical holdings of the raw material or other commodity that the CSC acquires, and such third-party facility should provide services consistent with those provided by custodians, including storage and safeguarding, insurance, transfer of the raw material or other commodity in and out of the facility, visual inspections, spot checks and assays, confirmation of deliveries to supplier packing lists, and reporting of transfers of inventory to the CSC and its auditors, and the review of the third-party storage facilities, including all lending, sales and delivery arrangements, must be overseen by a committee of independent directors; (vi) the CSC must create a committee comprised solely of independent directors who shall consider, at least quarterly, whether the CSC’s purchasing activities have had a measurable impact on the market price of the raw material or other commodity and shall report such determinations and make subsequent recommendations to the board of directors. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time. Even if our securities are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we cannot assure you that our securities will continue to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

In addition, following this offering, in order to maintain our listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we will be required to comply with certain NASDAQ Capital Market rules, including those regarding minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price and certain corporate governance requirements. If we are unable to satisfy the NASDAQ Capital Market criteria for maintaining our listing, our securities could be subject to delisting.

If the NASDAQ Capital Market does not list our securities, or subsequently delists our securities from trading, we could face significant consequences, including:

In addition, we would no longer be subject to the NASDAQ Capital Market rules, including rules requiring us to have a certain number of independent directors and to meet other corporate governance standards.

If penny stock regulations impose restrictions on the marketability of our common stock, the ability of our stockholders to sell shares of our common stock could be impaired.

The Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, has adopted regulations that generally define a “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Exceptions include equity securities issued by an issuer that has (i) net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for more than three years, or (ii) net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years, or (iii) average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the preceding three years. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require that prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a risk disclosure schedule must be delivered to the buyer explaining the penny stock market and its risks.

You should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We are aware of the abuses that have occurred in the penny stock market. We do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market. We will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent such abuses with respect to our common stock.

Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common stock and could entrench management.

Our charter and bylaws contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may consider to be in their best interests. Our board of directors is divided into two classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of two years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. As a result, at any annual meeting only a minority of the board of directors will be considered for election. Since our “staggered board” would prevent our stockholders from replacing a majority of our board of directors at any annual meeting, it may entrench management and discourage unsolicited stockholder proposals that may be in the best interests of stockholders.

Moreover, our board of directors has the ability to designate the terms of, and issue new series of preferred stock.

We are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law, which could delay or prevent a change of control. Together these provisions may make more difficult the removal of management and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of 10,000,000 units in this offering at a price per unit of $5.00 will be approximately $46,500,000 after deducting estimated offering expenses of $500,000, underwriting discounts and commissions of $2,500,000, and a corporate finance fee of $500,000, and assuming an initial public offering price of $5.00 per share. If the over-allotment option is exercised in full, we estimate that our net proceeds will be approximately $53,550,000.

We currently intend to use the proceeds of this offering as follows:

		Approximate Allocation of Net Proceeds				Approximate Percentage of Net Proceeds
Purchase of Indium (1) (3)		$	39,525,000				85.0	%
General corporate purposes, including working capital (2) (3)		$	6,975,000				15.0	%
Total		$	46,500,000				100.0	%

(1)

The Manager has acquired and intends to acquire on our behalf, indium with a minimum purity level established by common industry practice of 99.99%.

(2)

We expect that general corporate and working capital expenditures will include, among other potential uses: (i) personnel costs; (ii) the payment of an annual cash management fee to the Manager of 2.0% of the Net Market Value, which fee will be paid monthly; (iii) the additional costs of being a public company, including audit fees, legal fees and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; and (iv) the remainder, if any, for general working capital.

(3)

If the over-allotment is exercised, 85.0% of the net proceeds of the offering or $45,517,500, will be used to purchase indium, the other 15.0% or $8,032,500, will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

The allocation of the net proceeds of the offering set forth above represents our estimates based upon our current plans and assumptions regarding industry and general economic conditions and our future revenues and expenditures.

Investors are cautioned, however, that expenditures may vary substantially from these estimates. Investors will be relying on the judgment of our management, who will have broad discretion regarding the application of the proceeds of this offering. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the amount of cash generated by our purchases and sales and the amount of competition we face. We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the proceeds from this offering for other purposes.

Circumstances that may give rise to a change in the use of proceeds include:

•

the existence of other opportunities or the need to take advantage of changes in timing of our existing activities;

•

the need or desire on our part to accelerate, increase or eliminate existing initiatives due to, among other things, changing market conditions and competitive developments; and/or

•

if strategic opportunities of which we are not currently aware present themselves (including acquisitions, joint ventures, licensing and other similar transactions).

The proceeds we receive from the exercise of the warrants issued in this offering and the 2009 Private Placement will be allocated to the purchase of additional indium and for general working capital purposes, including but not limited to the payment of our operating expenses. The exact percentage of the warrant proceeds allocated toward purchasing additional indium and the time period to purchase indium using such proceeds will be determined by the Manger, in its sole discretion.

From time to time, we evaluate these and other factors and we anticipate continuing to make such evaluations to determine if the existing allocation of resources, including the proceeds of this offering, is being optimized. Pending such uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this offering in direct and guaranteed obligations of the United States, interest-bearing, investment-grade instruments or certificates of deposit.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If the Manager has not, within 18 months from the date of this prospectus, invested in indium at least 85% of the net proceeds of the offering or 100% of the proceeds that have been allocated for the purchase of indium, our board of directors will distribute such unused proceeds pro-rata to our shareholders as a return of capital. The unused amount will be calculated based upon the amount of net proceeds from this offering less the sum of: a) monies spent by us in acquiring indium during the 18 month period, and b) monies contracted to be spent by us in acquiring indium over the ensuing 12 months. Any such distributions will be subject to applicable law. Any interest earned on the proceeds of this offering shall be utilized for general corporate and working capital expenses and shall not be distributed to shareholders in the event that the board of directors distributes the unused proceeds to shareholders. Whether or not the board of directors returns the capital to shareholders, our operations will remain limited to purchasing, stockpiling, lending and selling the metal indium.

The total Class A Common Stock converted in connection with the private placement were 1,163,600 at $5 per share. Additionally this amount includes the effect of the 20% accretion on the private placement shares assuming that the IPO is completed by November 25, 2011. Also reflects the 75,000 reduction in common shares held by the Manager due to the conversion into common stock options as stipulated in the agreement dated February 8, 2010. The 75,000 shares that the Company will receive back will be cancelled by the Company.

DILUTION

The difference between the public offering price per share of common stock, assuming no value is attributed to the warrants included in the units, and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering constitutes the dilution to investors in this offering. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our net tangible book value, which is our total tangible assets less total liabilities by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock.

At September 30, 2010, our net tangible book value was $4,982,200. Our pro forma tangible net book value of $52,039,325 or $4.53 per share is comprised of the following: (i) the effect of the sale of 1,163,600 private placement units on January 8, 2010 at $5.00 per unit and the subsequent conversion of the shares of Class A common stock issued in the 2009 Private Placement into shares of common stock in this offering; (ii) 10,000,000 shares of common stock included in the units at an initial public offering price of $5.00 per unit; (iii) the deduction of underwriting discounts, the corporate finance fee and the estimated expenses of this offering; and (iv) the conversion of the note payable to the Manager. The pro forma net tangible book value of $4.53 per share represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.76 per share to the existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $0.47 per share or 9.4% to new investors.

The following table illustrates the dilution to the new investors on a per-share basis, assuming no value is attributed to the warrants included in the units:

Public offering price (1)		$	5.00
Net tangible book value before this offering (5)		$	3.78
Increase attributable to new investors		$	0.76
Pro forma net tangible book value after this offering (2) (3) (4)		$	4.53
Dilution to new investors		$	0.47

Before deduction of underwriters’ discounts and commissions, corporate finance fee and other estimated offering expenses.

(2)

After deduction of underwriters’ discounts and commissions, corporate finance fee and other estimated offering expenses.

(3)

After conversion of note payable to the Manager.

(4)

After conversion of 75,000 common shares owned by management into stock options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at $4.50 per share.

(5)

Includes additional 160,000 units sold after December 31, 2009 for $800,000.

The following table sets forth information with respect to our existing stockholders and the new investors:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We utilize and expect to continue to utilize facilities that meet our requirements that are either (i) located closest in proximity to our indium suppliers in order to reduce transportation fees or (ii) facilities located closest in proximity to our corporate headquarters or satellite offices in order to facilitate our ability to inspect our inventory and reduce future corporate expenses associated with travel. We believe there are numerous third-party storage facilities that provide more than adequate services that meet our criteria, which eliminates the need for hiring a custodian. Subsequent to our 2009 Private Placement, our Manager purchased on our behalf approximately 9.2 tons of indium, which is currently stored in an insured, secure facility in New York owned and operated by Brink’s Global Services U.S.A., Inc. (“Brink’s”), a bonded warehouse.

Initially, a member of our senior management will be responsible for warehouse facilities’ inspection. We expect our chief executive officer or our chief operating officer to inspect the facilities. The facilities will be visited at least once per year for inspection. We may insure the warehouse contents above and beyond a bonded warehouse to guarantee we will not sustain a loss in the event of an unforeseen catastrophe or we deem the warehouse company’s insurance inadequate.

We will monitor the ratio of our common share price to the value of our indium holdings and may sell some of our indium holdings and buy back common shares when the common share price is less than the NMV per share or sell common shares and buy indium when the common share price is higher than the NMV per share.

Our expenses will be required to be satisfied by cash on hand that is not set aside for the purchase of indium. Cash on hand following completion of this offering is expected to be sufficient to satisfy our expenses for approximately 53 months. Our annual expenses, including corporate taxes, are estimated to be approximately $1,700,000. While it is not our current intention to do so in the short-term, at our discretion, we may subsequently lend or sell some or all of our indium stockpile to cover our operating expenses. Alternatively, we may seek to raise additional capital to cover our operating expenses through potentially dilutive equity offerings or debt financing. For a detailed description of such expenses, please see “Management of SMG Indium Resources Ltd. — Management Services Agreement.” We are a taxable United States corporation and are subject to federal and state taxes.

Our stockpile of indium may decrease over time due to sales of indium necessary to pay the expenses of this offering and our annual operating expenses. Without increases in the price of indium sufficient to compensate for such decreases, our NMV may also decline. Regardless of our ability to purchase indium in a timely manner, we will incur initial offering expenses of approximately $500,000 and projected yearly operating expenses of approximately $1,548,000 prior to spending any proceeds from this offering to stockpile indium. We anticipate our yearly operating expenses will increase by approximately $152,000 to approximately $1,700,000 per annum once we are able to fully utilize the net proceeds from this offering allocated to purchase and stockpile indium. The price of indium would need to appreciate substantially to offset the reduction in our NMV due to the expenses listed above. The percentage increase required cannot be accurately determined at this time. It is highly dependent upon several variables including, but not limited to, the exact number of kilograms of indium purchased, the average price paid and the amount of time it takes for us to fully spend the allocated net proceeds from this offering to complete the buildup of our indium stockpile.

On January 8, 2010, we completed a private placement offering of an aggregate of 1,163,600 units to 61 investors for gross proceeds of $5,818,000. Each unit consisted of one share of Class A common stock, par value $.001 per share, and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.75 per share, which shall become exercisable upon the closing of this offering. In accordance with the terms of the private placement, upon the successful completion of this offering, each share of Class A common stock shall automatically convert into one share of common stock, subject to certain adjustments. The private placement shareholders will receive shares and warrants adjusted for increases or decreases based upon the increase or decrease of our NMV from the closing of the 2009 Private Placement to our NMV

TABLE OF CONTENTS

immediately preceding the consummation of this offering. Based on the terms of the 2009 Private Placement, upon the final closing of the 2009 Private Placement, our NMV was approximately $5,526,800. This was calculated by applying the $5,818,000 gross proceeds from the 2009 Private Placement to our cash of $8,737 and adding the prepaid expenses of $3,077 then deducting (i) $265,000 revolving credit note payable to the Manager; (ii) $29,658 of interest payable on the revolving credit note and (iii) $8,356 in accrued expenses.

An example of the private placement adjustment feature in operation is described below.

Assuming that immediately preceding the closing of this offering we hold in inventory 10,000 kilograms (10.0 metric tons) of indium, $500,000 in cash and debt payable of $300,000 (the revolving credit note payable outstanding plus interest payable) and the average monthly price of indium for the three month period immediately preceding the closing date of this offering is $600.00 per kilogram, our NMV would be $6,200,000 (10,000 kilograms of indium multiplied by $600 per kilogram plus $500,000 in cash minus $300,000 (revolving credit note payable plus interest)). To calculate the adjustment ratio per private placement Class A common share: $6,200,000 (NMV immediately preceding this offering) minus $5,526,800 (NMV from 2009 Private Placement) divided by the initial public offering unit price of $5.00 equals 134,640 shares, which represents the total number of NMV based adjustment shares that would be issued to the private placement shareholders. To calculate the adjustment ratio per private placement share, 134,640 (total adjustment shares to be issued to the private placement shareholders) is divided by 1,163,600 (total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding) which equals 0.1157. Hence, under this scenario, from the NMV adjustment factor only, for every one share of Class A common stock held by a private placement shareholder, they would receive an additional 0.1157 units in connection with the initial public offering. A private placement shareholder who owns 10,000 shares Class A common stock would receive 1157 additional units in connection with this offering (10,000 multiplied by 0.1157).

In the scenario described above, if the price of indium at the date of the initial public offering is $600 per kilogram, exactly equivalent to the average monthly price of indium for the three month period immediately preceding the closing date of the initial public offering used to calculate the NMV adjustment factor, there would be no additional dilutive or anti-dilutive effect on the initial public offering investors.

If the average monthly price of indium for the three month period immediately preceding the closing date of this offering used to calculate the NMV adjustment factor is $600 per kilogram and the price of indium on the date of closing this offering is $650 per kilogram, there will be an anti-dilutive effect for the investors in this offering. The investors in this offering will essentially assume control of the 10.0 metric ton indium stockpile at $600 per kilogram which is lower than the current price of $650 per kilogram. In this scenario, the investors in this offering would benefit. The net effect of the benefit to the investors in this offering would be the current price of indium, $650, minus the adjustment price received by the private placement shareholders of $600 per kilogram multiplied by 10,000 kilograms, or a positive effect of $500,000 to our NMV upon the consummation of this offering. Assuming we complete this offering prior to November 25, 2011 and the private placement investors receive the 20% increase in units associated with the time value adjustment factor plus the 0.1157 per Class A common share NMV adjustment and we sell 10,000,000 shares in this offering, the positive effect is $0.04 per share outstanding ($500,000 divided by 11,610,960 [1,163,600 private placement shares + 232,720 (20% time value adjustment) + 134,640 (NMV adjustment) + 80,000 (management common shares) + 10,000,000 (investors in this offering)]. Our NMV upon the consummation of this offering would increase from $4.53 per share to $4.57 per share.

Conversely, if the average monthly price of indium for the three month period immediately preceding the closing date of this offering used to calculate the NMV adjustment factor is $600 per kilogram and the price of indium on the date of closing of this offering is $550 per kilogram, there will be a dilutive effect on the investors in this offering because they will essentially assume control of the 10.0 metric ton indium stockpile at $600 per kilogram which is higher than the current price of $550 per kilogram. In this scenario, the investors in this offering would be diluted. The net effect of the dilution to the investors in this offering would be the current price of indium, $550, minus the adjustment price received by the private placement investors of $600 per kilogram multiplied by 10,000 kilograms or a negative effect of $500,000 to our NMV in this offering. Assuming we complete this offering prior to November 25, 2011 and the private placement investors receive the 20% increase in units associated with the time value adjustment factor plus the 0.1157 per Class A

TABLE OF CONTENTS

common share NMV adjustment and we sell 10,000,000 shares in this offering, there would be a dilutive effect of $0.04 per share outstanding to our NMV ($500,000 divided by 11,610,960 [1,163,600 private placement shares + 232,720 (20% time value adjustment) + 134,640 (NMV adjustment) + 80,000 (management common shares) + 10,000,000 (investors in this offering)]. Our NMV in this offering would decrease from $4.53 per share to $4.49 per share.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the audited financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, purchases of indium inventories, income taxes, loss contingencies and revenue recognition. Share based payment arrangement and derivative accounting to the extent it may apply with respect to any financial instruments we may issue. In addition, we will be required to review, at each reporting date, the applicability of the variable interest consolidation model prescribed under FASB ASC 810 with respect to our relationship with the Manager since it is owned by our founding stockholders. Management will base its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Since the date of inception, we have not produced any revenues. Accordingly, our activities have been accounted for as those of a “Development State Company” as set forth in FASB ASC 910-10 “Accounting for Development Stage Entities”. Among the disclosures required by FASB ASC 910 are our financial statements being identified as those of a development stage company. In addition, the statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders equity (deficit) and cash flows are required to disclose all activity since our date of inception.

We will continue to prepare our financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with FASB ASC 910 until such time that we have generated significant revenues and are deemed to have exited the development stage.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

We account for the issuance of common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505. Based on the provisions as contained therein, we classify as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) gives us a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in our own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). We classify as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside our control) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). We assess classification of our common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

We currently have no outstanding free standing derivatives. Notwithstanding, we, as a matter of policy, will evaluate any common stock purchase warrants or other free standing derivatives at each reporting date to assess their proper classification using the applicable classification criteria enumerated in FASB ASC 505.

Employee Share Based Payment Arrangements

We plan to account for employee share based payment arrangements in accordance with the provision of FASB ASC 718-10-S99, “Share-Based Payments” (“SBP’s”). FASB ASC 718 addresses all forms of SBP’s and awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. Under FASB ASC 718, SBP awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in a charge to operations. We only recently adopted an equity incentive plan but have not yet issued any employee share-based payments and there is currently no compensation for the periods.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Inventory or “Stockpile” of the Metal Indium

Our inventory or “stockpile” of the metal indium is recorded on the date we take delivery of the physical metal. The stockpile of the physical metal indium is carried at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined on a specific identification method and market being determined as the net realizable value as computed from the closing spot price as posted by Metal Bulletin on Bloomberg L.P., a real time financial information services data platform, based on the last day of the period. The difference between cost and fair market value is reviewed on a periodic basis to determine if a loss should be recognized where the utility of indium has been impaired. Where such impairment is viewed as something other than temporary, we will reflect in earnings the value by which the fair market value is less than the cost. Realized gains (losses) from other transactions will be determined for income tax and for financial reporting purposes on specific identification method.

Income Taxes

We follow FASB ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under FASB ASC 740, we establish financial accounting assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Additionally, FASB ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FASB ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain income tax position(s) on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, FASB ASC 740 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. There were no such amount to be recorded under FASB ASC 740 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period ended December 31, 2008.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

FASB ASC 718-740-50 provides guidance for the “ Accounting for Income Tax Benefits on Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards ” and addresses share-based payment arrangements with dividend protection features that entitle employees to receive (a) dividends on equity-classified non-vested shares, (b) dividend equivalents on equity-classified non-vested share units, or (c) payments equal to the dividends paid on the underlying shares while an equity-classified share option is outstanding, when those dividends or dividend equivalents are charged to retained earnings under FASB ASC 718 and result in an income tax deduction for the employer. A realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings are paid to employees for equity-classified non-vested shares, non-vested equity share units, and outstanding equity share options should be recognized as an increase in additional paid in capital. The amount recognized in additional paid-in capital for the realized income tax benefit from dividends on those awards should be included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb potential future tax deficiencies on share-based payments. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this pronouncement had a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, FASB ASC 505 provided guidance on “ Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash ”. This codification clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and EPS). Those distributions should be accounted for and included in the EPS calculations in accordance with paragraphs 480-10-25-14 and 260-10-45-45 through 45-47 o the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company does not envision any such distributions to shareholders and thus does not expect that the adoption of this pronouncement had a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, Revenue Recognition — Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition . This standard provides that the milestone method is a valid application of the proportional performance model for revenue recognition if the milestones are substantive and there is substantive uncertainty about whether the milestones will be achieved. Determining whether a milestone is substantive requires judgment that should be made at the inception of the arrangement. To meet the definition of a substantive milestone, the consideration earned by achieving the milestone (1) would have to be commensurate with either the level of effort required to achieve the milestone or the enhancement in the value of the item delivered, (2) would have to relate solely to past performance, and (3) should be reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement. No bifurcation of an individual milestone is allowed and there can be more than one milestone in an arrangement. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition — Accounting for Direct Sales and Lending Transactions

We envision that our stockpile of indium may be used from time to time for “direct sales and or “lending” transactions if we need additional capital to cover annual operating expenses. Under a “direct sale” transaction we would record a gain (loss) equal to the difference between the proceeds received from the sale of indium and the indium carrying value.

We may also elect to enter into a lending transaction. In indium lending transactions, we would exchange a specified tonnage and purity of indium for cash. Title and the risks and rewards of such indium ownership would pass to the purchaser/counterparty in the lending transaction. We would simultaneously enter into an agreement with such counterparty in which we would unconditionally commit to purchase and the counterparty would unconditionally commit to sell a specified tonnage and purity of indium that would be delivered to us at a fixed price and at a fixed future date in exchange for cash (the Unconditional Sale and Purchase Agreement or “USPA”). The USPA would also contain terms providing the counterparty with substantial disincentives (“penalty fees”) for non-performance of the return of indium to the company as a means to assure our future supply of indium. While we believe that this risk would be mitigated by the penalty fee features of the USPA, it is nonetheless a risk associated with a transaction of this type. We anticipate recognizing revenues on purchases and sales of indium under these arrangements in accordance FASB ASC 845-25 “Non-Monetary Transactions” and “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty.” Accordingly we will disclose unconditional purchase obligations under these arrangements (“Disclosure of Long Term Obligations”) and, if applicable, accrue net losses on such unconditional purchase obligations in accordance with FASB ASC 440-10-50.

We were formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 7, 2008. On April 2, 2008, we changed our name from Specialty Metals Group Indium Corp. to SMG Indium Resources Ltd. We were formed to acquire, store and sell the specialty metal indium. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of this offering, our capital stock, debt, or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt, in acquiring and storing indium.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In early September 2009, we engaged placement agents to assist us in the 2009 Private Placement. We held the first two closings of the private placement in November and December of 2009, respectively, raising a cumulative total through December 31, 2009 of $5,018,000. In January 2010, we closed the last piece of the private placement offering raising an additional $800,000. The aggregate gross proceeds raised in the 2009 Private Placement was $5,818,000. With the capital raised through the 2009 Private Placement, in December 2009 we began purchasing and stockpiling indium. As of September 30, 2010, we purchased approximately $4,591,000 of indium. Our indium is currently stored in a secure insured bonded warehouse facility located in New York owned by The Brink’s Company. We did not generate any revenue in the first nine months of 2010 or in 2009 and 2008.

We have not generated any revenues to date. Our activity since the closing of the private placement has centered on purchasing indium and preparing for an initial public offering. As of the date of this prospectus, the Manager has purchased on our behalf approximately 9.2 tons of indium from three regular indium suppliers at an average cost of $500 per kilogram. These purchases were funded from the net proceeds received from the 2009 Private Placement. We have incurred storage fees of approximately $9,051 since December 2009.

We have purchased indium but have not generated any revenues to date. Our entire activity since inception has been to commence our acquisition of a stockpile of indium and to prepare for our proposed initial public offering through an offering of our equity securities. From inception, we have raised approximately $5,828,000. On January 8, 2010, we completed a private placement offering of approximately $5,818,000 of convertible units. To date, we have used the proceeds of such offering to purchase 9.2 tons of indium and to provide for general corporate and working capital expenses. Prior to obtaining these funds, on January 8, 2008, we entered into a revolving line of credit with our Manager, pursuant to which an aggregate of $265,000 plus interest was drawn under such line of credit. On January 25, 2010, we amended our revolving line of credit as follows: (i) the maturity date was amended to be due and payable on the earlier of: (a) the date we complete an initial public offering, which such note shall automatically convert into options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share for a term of five years; (b) the date of a dissolution, liquidation, winding up or insolvency proceeding commenced by or on our behalf in the event we do not complete an initial public offering; or (c) February 25, 2011. Upon consummation of this offering, such amount due to the Manager will be automatically converted into 150,000 common stock options exercisable at $4.50 per share for a period of five years.

During 2008, we primarily focused our attention on organizing the business operations in anticipation of an initial public offering, including but not limited to appointing a Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors, engaging underwriters, negotiating contracts to become effective upon the successful consummation of the anticipated initial public offering and conducting road shows. However, prior to consummating the initial public offering in 2008, unforeseen events severely affected the global markets and such events forced us to delay our initial public offering. As of December 31, 2008, we did not abandon our initial public offering plans, but decided it would be prudent to wait for stock market conditions to improve. During January and February 2009, the global economies continued to decline, as did the stock market. On February 27, 2009, we formally withdrew our registration statement and decided to pursue a private placement as an alternative method to try and raise capital.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we reported a net loss of $38,734 as compared with an operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $275,422. The nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily reflects the operating expenses of $26,677 and accruals relating to the interest on the revolving line of credit with the Manager in the amount of $12,057. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the loss primarily reflects the 2009 decision to abandon pursuing the IPO at that time and the write-off of $231,489 of deferred offering costs associated with our attempt to go public in 2008 and operating expenses of $31,876.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, we reported a net loss of $337,261 or an increase in the net loss of $320,366 compared with the year ended December 31, 2008. The principal reasons for the increase in the 2009 net loss was due to (i) formation and operating expenses associated with the 2009 Private Placement of $89,652; and (ii) the February 27, 2009 decision to abandon the initial public offering process, withdraw the

Registration Statement and thus write-off $231,489 in deferred offering costs previously capitalized in connection with the uncompleted 2008 initial public offering filing.

Shares of Capital Stock

We were incorporated on January 7, 2008, with 50,000,000 shares of authorized common stock, par value $.001 and 1,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock, par value $.001. On December 5, 2008, we conducted a forward split, where each stockholder received six shares for every one share of common stock held by the stockholders. On June 5, 2009, we conducted a reverse split where all stockholders received one share of common stock for every 3.6 shares held. On November 25, 2009, we further amended out certificate of incorporation to reduce the overall authorized capital to 8,000,000 shares consisting of 2,000,000 shares of designated as Class A common stock, 5,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Immediately prior to the consummation of this offering, we had 155,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 1,163,600 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. Further, 1,201,400 shares of common stock have been reserved for the exercise of the warrants issued in the 2009 Private Placement and 232,720 shares of common stock have been reserved for the exercise of the additional warrants to be issued to the investors in the 2009 Private Placement upon completion of this offering.

Further, 550,000 shares of common stock are currently reserved for issuance pursuant to 2008 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. On July 7, 2010 our board of directors authorized an increase from 550,000 shares of common stock to 1,000,000 shares of common stock to be reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2008 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. Prior to the consummation of this offering, such increase will be submitted to shareholders for their approval. Under the 2008 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, 124,999 have been awarded, 455,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for the exercise of options issued to our Manager (155,000 options issued pursuant to the 2009 Private Placement, 150,000 options to be issued upon conversion of the $265,000 promissory note plus accrued and unpaid interest and 150,000 options to be issued upon conversion of 75,000 common shares).

Upon consummation of this offering, we will amend our certificate of incorporation to provide for 40,000,000 shares of authorized common stock, par value $.001 per share and 1,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock, par value $.001. Immediately after the consummation of this offering, we will have approximately 11,476,320 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (assuming (i) 10,000,000 shares are issued in connection with this offering; (ii) conversion of the 1,163,600 shares Class A common stock into 1,163,600 shares of common stock; (iii) the issuance of 232,720 additional shares to the investors in the 2009 Private Placement at the IPO date (this does not include the NMV based adjustment factor which will be determined immediately prior to the closing of this offering); and (iv) the 80,000 shares of common stock held by the Manager following the exchange of 75,000 shares of common stock for 150,000 common stock options.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

$5,818,000. After deducting the $220,000 in closing costs associated with legal expenses and broker’s commissions, the net proceeds available pursuant to the 2009 Private Placement amounted to approximately $5,598,000 of which 90%, or $5,038,200, was available for indium purchases and $559,800 was to be used for general working capital purposes. The total Class A common shares and warrants issued in connection with the 2009 Private Placement were 1,163,600. After including the broker warrants of 37,800, the total warrants issued aggregated 1,201,400.

As of September 30, 2010, we purchased and took delivery of approximately 9.2 tons of indium at an average price of $500 per kilogram utilizing $4,591,016 of the proceeds from the 2009 Private Placement. In December 2009, we purchased approximately 2.5 tons of indium at an average purchase price of $462 per kilogram. In the first quarter of 2010, we purchased and took delivery of approximately 6.7 tons of indium with an aggregate purchase price of $3,419,963. As a result, we must purchase $447,184 of indium in order to fulfill the 90% requirement outlined in the 2009 Private Placement for indium purchases.

We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the units in this offering will be approximately $46,500,000 (or $53,550,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full). We intend to use at least $39,525,000 (or $45,517,500 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) of the net proceeds of this offering to acquire indium. Pursuant to a Management Services Agreement, we shall pay to the Manager a fee equal to 2.0% per annum of our NMV. We intend to pay such management fee from the proceeds of the offering not used to purchase indium.

On January 8, 2008, we entered into a revolving line of credit with the Manager in the aggregate amount of $300,000. The revolver was used to fund the deferred offering costs incurred by us in connection with our attempted initial public offering in 2008. To date, we have borrowed $265,000 under the revolving line of credit. The revolving line of credit is unsecured and bears interest at the rate of 6.0% per annum. As of September 30, 2010, 996 days of interest have been accrued thereunder and we recorded an interest expense of $41,715 in connection therewith. On January 25, 2010, we amended our revolving line of credit as follows: (i) the maturity date was amended to be due and payable on the earlier of: (a) the date we complete an initial public offering; (b) the date of a dissolution, liquidation, winding up or insolvency proceeding commenced by or on our behalf in the event we do not complete the initial public offering, whereas upon the completion of such offering, the amount due under the note will automatically convert into options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share; or (c) November 24, 2011.

Going Concern

Our ability to commence operations is contingent upon our obtaining the necessary capital resources through our proposed public offering of 10,000,000 Units. Our management has specific guidelines as to how the proposed public offering proceeds will be used. Specifically, a minimum of 85.0% of such proceeds will be used to purchase and stockpile indium and the balance or 15.0% will be used for working capital purposes. In the event we are unable to utilize all 85% of the net proceeds from this offering to purchase and stockpile indium within 18 months from the date of this prospectus, we will return to the shareholders their pro-rata share of the unused proceeds designated for the purchase and stockpile of indium.

As of September 30, 2010, we had $703,178 in cash and an accumulated deficit of $(392,890). Further, after the initial public offering, we expect annual operating costs to approximate $1,700,000 comprised of $115,000 for storing and holding the indium, $60,000 for insuring the indium, $150,000 for shareholder communications and relations; initial annual Management Fee of $1,050,000 subject to fluctuations of our NMV; $150,000 for directors and officers liability insurance premiums; and $175,000 for other/administrative expenses including legal, accounting and director fees. As with the indium purchases, we expect to pay for these expenses and asset purchases through the offering proceeds.

There is no assurance that we will complete the proposed initial public offering or that the completion of the proposed initial public offering will lead to the successful execution of our business plan. Further, should we be unable to complete our initial public offering by November 24, 2011, the 2009 Private Placement Memorandum states that our existence shall be terminated, our affairs shall be wound up and we shall liquidate. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Sources of Liquidity

We initially financed our operations and capital expenditures by issuing revolving credit notes and selling common stock to our Manager, which is owned by our founders. We received a $265,000 advance from our Manager as part of a $300,000 revolving credit line. Since January 7, 2008, through the issuance of shares in our 2009 Private Placement, we have received net proceeds of $5,018,000 as of December 31, 2009 and we received an additional $800,000 in January 2010 for total gross proceeds in connection with the 2009 Private Placement of $5,818,000. With such proceeds, we have purchased and paid for approximately $4,591,000 of indium as of September 30, 2010. In December 2009, we purchased and paid for approximately 2.5 tons of indium at an average price of $462 per kilogram utilizing $1,171,053. During the first nine months ended September 30, 2010, we purchased and paid for approximately 6.7 tons of indium spending $3,419,963 at an average price of $514 per kilogram. In aggregate, we purchased a total of 9.2 tons of indium at an average purchase price of $500 per kilogram for $4,591,000 as of September 30, 2010. At September 30, 2010 we had cash and cash equivalents of $703,178 which reflects since December 31, 2009 the January, February and March 2010 indium payments of $3,419,963, the other expenses relating to the IPO filing of $255,000, other operating expenses of $19,000 and then adding the January 2010 private placement funding of $800,000.

Working Capital and Capital Expenditure Needs

Upon consummation of the offering, 15.0% of the net proceeds of $46,500,000 or $6,975,000 (or $8,032,500 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) shall be allocated to general working capital purposes. These funds will be sufficient to allow us to operate for approximately 53 months. Over this time period, we will use these funds for paying the annual management fee to the Manager for the acquisition, storage, insuring and disposition of indium on our behalf and reviewing corporate, title, environmental, and financial documents and material agreements regarding the acquisition, storage, insuring and disposition of indium on our behalf. Once we have spent all of the allocated net proceeds of this offering on our indium stockpile, we anticipate that we will incur annual expenses of approximately $1,700,000 in the aggregate, including: (i) storage and holding of indium — $115,000; (ii) insurance — $60,000; (iii) shareholder communications and relations and maintaining the effectiveness of our registration statement for the shares of common stock underlying our public warrants — $150,000; (iv) the annual Manager’s fee — $1,050,000; (v) director and officer liability insurance premiums — $150,000; and (vi) other/administrative expenses including legal, accounting and director fees — $175,000. Although we do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following this offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business, we may need to raise additional capital if we encounter unforeseen costs.

The proceeds we receive from the exercise of the warrants issued in this offering and the 2009 Private Placement will be allocated to the purchase of additional indium and for general working capital purposes, including but not limited to the payment of our operating expenses. The exact percentage of the warrant proceeds allocated toward purchasing additional indium and the time period to purchase indium using such proceeds will be determined by the Manger, in its sole discretion.

Although we are currently not a party to any agreement or letter of intent with respect to potential investments in, or acquisitions of, businesses, we may enter into these types of arrangements in the future, which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all. We currently have no plans, proposals or arrangements with respect to any specific acquisition.

In the event we need to raise additional capital, we may do so in the form of equity or debt. The issuance of additional shares of our capital stock:

Contractual Obligations

On January 8, 2008, we entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Note with our Manager, where our Manager agreed to provide us with a revolving line of credit up to $300,000 of which $265,000 was outstanding as of September 30, 2010. The principal balance, including all accrued and unpaid interest, outstanding pursuant to the Note shall become due on the earlier of: (i) the consummation of the initial public offering which such principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest due under the Note will automatically convert into 150,000 options, with each option to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share or (ii) liquidation of our company. The Note bears an interest rate of 6.0% per annum. As of September 30, 2010, 996 days of interest have been accrued thereunder and we recorded an interest expense of $41,715 in connection therewith. In the event of default, all amounts due pursuant to the Note shall become immediately payable.

On February 8, 2010, we entered into a common stock for option exchange with the Manager. Upon consummation of this offering, 75,000 shares of common stock owned by the Manager will be automatically converted into 150,000 common stock options exercisable at $4.50 per share for a period of five years following the consummation of this offering.

Prior to the consummation of this offering, we amended and restated the Management Services Agreement with the Manager, initially executed on November 24, 2009. Pursuant to such agreement, the Manager will, on a bi-weekly basis, prepare a report on the NMV of each share of our common stock, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of kilograms of indium held by or for us by the last spot price for indium published by Metal Bulletin posted on Bloomberg L.P., plus cash and any of our other assets, less any and all of our outstanding payables, indebtedness and any other liabilities. Such report, which will include the last spot price of indium published by Metal Bulletin and the quantity of indium held in our inventory,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

will be made available on our website on a bi-weekly basis. We shall pay to the Manager a fee equal to 2.0% per annum of our NMV, which shall be paid monthly.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We will publish on our website, or facilitate access to, at no cost and in an easily accessible manner, regular indium pricing information from a reliable, independent source no less frequently than twice per week. We currently intend to post on our website, www.smg-indium.com, Metal Bulletin’s bi-weekly indium price quotation. If for any reason we cannot post Metal Bulletin’s bi-weekly indium price quotation, we will contract with another independent indium pricing quotation provider. Other independent indium quotation providers available to us include and are not limited to Platt’s Metals Week, Metal-Pages Ltd., Asian Metal Ltd. and Metal Prices.

We will publish on our website our NMV no less frequently than twice per week. We currently intend to post our NMV on our website bi-weekly. In addition, if the spot price of indium fluctuates more than 5%, we will publish our updated NMV within one business day of such fluctuation.

We will publish on our website the quantity of indium we hold in inventory, the average price paid and our NMV within two business days of any change in inventory held. In addition, if we contract to purchase or sell a material quantity of indium, such information will be disclosed in a Form 8-K filing within four business days.

In addition, our Market Impact Committee, which is composed solely of independent directors, shall consider, on a quarterly basis, whether our company’s indium purchasing activities have had a measurable impact on the market price of indium and shall report such determination and make subsequent recommendations to our board of directors. The Market Impact Committee may rely upon, and has the authority to engage and pay, at our expense, an industry expert in conducting such review. Should our board of directors disagree with, or not accept the recommendations of the Market Impact Committee, we will be required to file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC outlining the relevant events, the Market Impact Committee’s determination and recommendations and the rationale for the board’s determination.

Our expenses will be required to be satisfied by cash on hand that is not set aside for the purchase of indium. Cash on hand following completion of the offering is expected to be sufficient to satisfy our expenses for approximately 53 months. Once we have spent all of the allocated net proceeds of this offering on our indium stockpile, our expenses, including corporate taxes, are estimated to be approximately $1,700,000. For a detailed description of such expenses please see “Management of SMG Indium Resources Ltd. —  Management Services Agreement”. We are a taxable United States corporation and are subject to federal and state taxes.

Our objective is to purchase and stockpile already processed and mined indium ingots with a minimum purity of 99.99%. Potential stockholders will only receive a return on their investment if our acquired indium stockpile increases in value more than we spend on operating expenses. Price appreciation of the metal indium is critical for investors to receive a return on their investment.

Our primary objective is to purchase and stockpile the metal indium, The Manager will fully utilize the designated proceeds from this offering to purchase and stockpile indium within 18 months of the date of this prospectus. If the Manager has not, within 18 months from the date of this prospectus, purchased indium in sufficient quantity to utilize at least 85% of the net proceeds of this offering or 100% of the proceeds that have been allocated for the purchase of indium, our board of directors will distribute such unused proceeds pro-rata to our stockholders as a return of capital. The unused amount will be calculated based upon the sum of: a) monies spent by us on acquiring indium during the 18 month period, and b) monies contracted to be spent by us on acquiring indium over the ensuing 12 months. If we are unable to promptly use all of the designated proceeds from this offering to purchase and stockpile indium, then there will be a direct and materially adverse impact on the possibility that a potential shareholder could receive a positive return on their investment. In addition, the price of indium would need to appreciate substantially to offset the reduction in our NMV associated with the initial offering expenses and our operating expenses regardless of our ability to purchase indium in a timely manner. Price appreciation of the metal indium held in our stockpile is critical for us to maintain our NMV and for investors to receive a return on their investment. If we need additional capital to cover our operating expenses, we may lend or sell indium from our stockpile to cover such operating expenses. Deciding on whether to lend or sell in these instances can only be determined by a careful analysis of each option and its particular benefit to us at that particular point in time. All lending, sales and delivery of our indium from our stockpile will be negotiated and arranged by our Manager and such process

TABLE OF CONTENTS

will be overseen by the Market Impact Committee. Alternatively, we may seek to raise additional capital to cover our operating expenses through potentially dilutive equity offerings or debt financing. Market conditions will dictate which option we would elect to pursue. Although we are not legally prohibited from pursuing other business strategies pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or any other corporate documents, we do not intend to change our stated strategy. If based on market conditions our Manager determines that it may be in our best interest to expand our lending and/or selling activities beyond what is necessary to cover operating expenses or if the Manager determines that we should begin actively speculating on short-term fluctuations in indium prices, the Manager will be required to obtain the approval of our board of directors to adopt such a strategic change in our business directive. Additionally, we will promptly notify shareholders of any such modifications to our stated business plan. Our operations are, and will remain, limited to purchasing, stockpiling, lending and selling only the metal indium.

We will monitor the ratio of the common share price to the value of our indium holdings and may sell some of our indium holdings and buy back common shares when the common share price is less than the NMV per share or sell common shares and buy indium when the common share price is higher than the NMV per share. The decision is not based on a predetermined ratio and will be based on market conditions.

Based on common industry knowledge and our established indium industry relationships, we can determine which companies are regular indium industry suppliers. We consider companies granted indium export licenses from the Chinese government as regular indium industry suppliers. We consider companies like Teck Resources Limited., Xstrata Plc, Indium Corporation of America, Umicore Indium Products Co. Ltd., and Aim Specialty Materials as regular industry suppliers because they are all well known within the industry and have well established reputations. We consider metal trading houses listed in our “Competition” section like Traxys North America LLC, Glencore International AG, Wogen PLC, MCP Metal Specialties, etc. that have years and in some cases, decades of experience within the industry as regular indium industry suppliers. We intend to use subjective criteria to determine whom we plan to do business with and for competitive reasons we do not disclose specifically which companies we intend to do business. Currently, an established regular indium industry designated supplier list does not exist. We consider the miners, refiners, suppliers and trading houses listed in our “Competition” section to be a partial list of known regular indium industry suppliers. Our Manager purchased on our behalf approximately 9.2 tons of indium from three regular indium industry suppliers utilizing the proceeds from the 2009 Private Placement. Our indium is stored in an insured, secure facility in New York owned and operated by Brink’s Global Services U.S.A., Inc. (“Brink’s”), a bonded warehouse. Brinks provides storage and safeguard of our indium inventory, insurance, handles the transfer of our indium inventory in and out of the facility, visual inspections, spot checks, arranges and facilitates for independent third-party random assays, confirmation of deliveries to supplier packing lists, and reporting of transfers of inventory to our company and auditors.

We have and intend to stockpile already mined and processed indium ingots with a minimum purity level of 99.99% known as 4N or four nines grade. The specific purity of the actual metal is very important to each of indium’s specific applications. The purity of the indium used in alloys is typically 2N material. Thin-film coatings such as Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO) use 4N8 purity indium. Therefore, refiners and suppliers will upgrade 3N7 material to 4N8 for use in ITO production via a basic electro-refining process dissolving the indium in hydrochloric acid and plating out the purified indium. In its purest form, 6N and 7N, indium is used in smaller quantities for research and development and as the raw material used to make Indium Phosphide (InP), Indium Arsenide (InAs) and Gallium Indium Arsenide (GaInAs). Preparation of 6N high-purity indium is also done by a method of physical-chemical purification and electro-refining. While the purity of the metal is important to each of its applications, the price of the higher purity indium is not considered significant relative to the industry standard grade of 3N7. Manufacturers typically customize the purity of the indium to its customer’s specific needs and charge a small fee to convert standard grade into its higher purity forms.

Strategy and Policies

We based our business model projections on having approximately $39.525 million available from the proceeds of the IPO (85.0% of the net proceeds after expenses) to purchase approximately 72.2 metric tons of 99.99% purity indium paying an average price of $547.50 per kilogram for indium. Based on projected expenses, per cash remaining from the offering should be able to sustain operations for 53 months, without our needing to sell or lend any indium from our stockpile. If the price of indium rises prior to our being able

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to purchase our stockpile of indium, we would purchase fewer tons of indium to spend the 85.0% of the net proceeds of the offering. This in turn would result in lower storage fees for fewer tons of indium held in our stockpile and higher values for our stockpile could result in higher annual management fees. If the price of indium decreases, we may purchase additional indium and our storage fees would increase accordingly and lower values for our stockpile could result in lower management fees, either shortening or lengthening how long our cash on hand may last. Our business model is premised on the long-term appreciation in the value of our indium stockpile. We currently have approximately 9.2 tons of indium in inventory purchased utilizing the proceeds from the 2009 Private Placement. In order to facilitate our business plan over the next 18 months, our Manager may elect to purchase indium under long-term supply contracts. Information regarding how much and what percentage of the total indium supply is currently under long-term contracts is not known. This may hinder our ability to enter into long-term supply contracts with industry suppliers, purchase and stockpile indium, and fulfill our business plan in a timely manner.

Our ability to complete our business plan could be adversely affected by the substantial competition we face in the marketplace. There are a substantial number of manufacturers that require indium for the production of FPDs, LCDs, PDAs, LEDs and CIGS thin film photovoltaics. We expect to compete with them for purchase of the primary indium supply. The fact that many of these companies have more substantial resources than us and have established relationships with indium industry suppliers may prove to be detrimental to our ability to consummate our business plan.

We may face direct competition from market participants in purchasing our stockpile of indium. There are no other companies, known to us, that have a business model solely dedicated to the purchasing and stockpiling of indium. However, we would have to potentially compete with miners, refiners, suppliers, end-users, traders and other market participants in purchasing indium from suppliers. The companies listed in the “Competition” section are a partial list of companies that are well known indium industry participants that either mine, refine, use, and or trade indium. These companies would be considered indirect competition.

In addition, we are not aware of any additional information, if any, regarding the indium market, or the type of market information other industry producers, purchasers, suppliers and other market participants may possess. Our inability to access this information, if any, places us at a potential relative competitive disadvantage to other market participants who may have access to such information. This may adversely affect our ability to purchase and stockpile indium.

We do not expect to purchase indium from the recycling market. After extensive discussions with indium industry participants, we determined that it is not feasible for us to buy directly from the recycling companies. Recycling scrap indium into 3N7 or higher purity metal ingot is extremely complex and time consuming. Typically, end users (ie. FPD manufacturers) establish contracts directly with the recyclers. Pursuant to such contracts, the end user supplies the recycler with scrap indium and the recycler specially processes, refines, and then returns the purified recaptured indium to the end user. Recyclers cannot sell the recycled indium to anyone else other than the end user who supplied the scrap indium. Industry insiders consider the recycling market a “closed loop”.

End users and recyclers do not disclose the particulars of their relationships and contracts. This inaccessibility will limit us to the primary indium market. The primary market is smaller than the recycling market and may affect our ability to purchase enough indium to meet our business plan’s objectives in a timely manner.

Chinese export restrictions may serve to further reduce our access to more than 50% of the world’s primary indium production. In May 2008, an earthquake in China completely halted ten zinc smelters in Sichuan Province’s Deyang, Hanyuan and Ganzi regions, as well as in nearby southern regions of Shaanxi Province and Gansu Province, due to damaged facilities and power supply failures. It was estimated that 510,000 metric tons of zinc smelting capacity was affected or approximately 7.0% of China’s national total. If those zinc smelters were refining indium and were shut down for one full year, it is estimated that as much as 21.7 metric tons or 3.8% of primary indium production would have been lost.

In furtherance of our strategy, our board of directors will establish the following policies which will be included in our By-laws.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

1. We shall be required to spend at least 85% of the net proceeds raised in an initial public offering on the purchase of indium within 18 months of the effectiveness of the initial public offering registration statement, or return the unused amount of the 85% net proceeds designated to the purchase of indium to the shareholders, pro-rata. The unused amount will be calculated based upon the sum of: a) monies spent by us on acquiring the indium during the 18 month period, and b) monies contracted to be spent by us on acquiring the indium over the ensuing 12 months.

2. All purchases, lending and sales of indium shall be made by our Manager in accordance with the Management Services Agreement, as amended from time to time. In such capacity, our Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase, lend and or sell indium at the best price available to us.

3. In the event that our Manager elects to purchase indium under long term contracts with an indium supplier, we shall have the funds set aside to satisfy the purchase price.

4. In the event that our Manager elects to lend or sell indium under long term contracts with an indium customer, we shall have indium set aside to satisfy the delivery commitments.

The indium market is illiquid and considered small compared to the base metals. There are a limited amount of suppliers and purchasers of indium. If new companies are formed to purchase and stockpile indium, this would adversely affect our ability to procure sufficient quantities of indium on a timely basis or even at all. It is our intention to spend the net proceeds from the offering to purchase 8.1% of the next eighteen months of global primary indium production after the completion of this offering without disrupting the indium market. If we cannot purchase indium from China, we would need to purchase 16.2% of the rest of the world’s eighteen months of annual primary indium production to spend the proceeds from our offering. These calculations are based on the assumption that global primary indium supply remains constant at 597 metric tons per year and China produces 300 metric tons per year over the next eighteen months. We do not anticipate purchasing indium from the recycling market. If we are unable to purchase indium from China, we may not be able to purchase the 72.2 tons we require to spend 85.0% of the net proceeds from the offering based on current prices within 18 months from the date of this prospectus.

Accounting for Direct Sales and Lending Transactions

We envision that our stockpile of indium may be used from time to time for “direct sales and or “lending” transactions. Under a “direct sale” transaction we would record as income, or loss, the difference between the proceeds received from the sale of indium and the indium carrying value.

We may engage in lending indium from time to time if we need additional capital to cover annual operating expenses. A typical loan contract would be for terms of six months or less, and in almost no circumstance would it exceed a period of one year. As lender, we will negotiate an Unconditional Sale and Purchase Agreement (“USPA”) with a prospective borrower. As part of the USPA, once all terms are reviewed and approved by our management team, we will physically deliver indium to the borrower.

The USPA arrangement involves us negotiating, as lender, and physically delivering a pre-agreed upon quantity and purity of indium to the borrower. The borrower will pay us a negotiated dollar value for the value of the indium delivered. Typically this would be done when market conditions favored such a transaction and we would record income (loss) equal to the value of the negotiated price over (under) our carrying value of indium lent. At the same time, we would record a liability for the unconditional obligation to purchase back a pre-determined amount of indium from the borrower of like purity based upon the negotiated terms as detailed in the USPA. Such lending transaction(s) will include in the USPA a provision that the borrower return to us a like quantity and purity of indium. Failure to fulfill this return commitment will subject the borrower to a “penalty fee” thus discouraging the borrower from borrowing indium but never replenishing the indium to us. The ability of the borrower to satisfy the commitment to return the quantity and purity of indium is a business risk that we would face in a transaction like this. However, the penalty fee aspect as detailed in the USPA would partially mitigate our overall business risk, in that, the penalty fee would provide us with greater flexibility in recovering indium from other sources at less than favorable prices (if applicable) if the borrower defaulted on its return of indium. We anticipate recognizing gains and losses on purchases and sales of indium under these arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC 845-25 “Non-Monetary Transactions” and “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Counterparty.” Accordingly we will disclose unconditional purchase obligations under these arrangements (“Disclosure of Long Term Obligations”) and, if applicable, accrue net losses on such unconditional purchase obligations in accordance with FASB ASC 440-10-50.

There is no established market lending rate for indium. The terms of the USPA contracts will stipulate that the indium returned must be of equivalent quantity and purity. An example of a loan to facilitate future purchases of indium would be made to an indium producer, to be repaid by the return of equivalent indium of the same quantity and purity along with the possible purchase of additional indium from the producer. In the event of a loan to the producer, in which we have received dollars for the indium lent, there is a risk that the producer will not return the equivalent quantity indium. Our Manager will be responsible for conducting limited inspections of the indium delivered to us. Our Manager will be responsible for ensuring that the contracted third-party storage facilities it utilizes conducts visual inspections, spot checks and hires independent labs to randomly assay, at our expense, the indium delivered to us to verify that such indium meets the minimum 99.99% purity requirements referred to in our prospectus. The third-party storage facility must also confirm the deliveries match the supplier packing lists. Our Manager will rely to a limited extent on the good faith of its suppliers to provide indium that meets our requirements. We do not intend to brand specific companies and assayers. We consider the miners, refiners, suppliers and trading houses listed in our “Competition” section to be a partial list of known regular indium industry suppliers. We will use only reputable assayers recommended by reliable third-party sources. Indium typically comes delivered with a certificate of analysis in sealed boxes. Our Manager, at its discretion, may hire, at our expense, an independent lab to perform random assay tests using glow-discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS) to verify the purity of the indium, if the indium loan was done with a company that is not known to be a regular indium industry supplier. Failure to perform is a risk to our business if the price of indium appreciates and we cannot replace the loaned indium at the same or a lower price we loaned the indium. The ability of the borrower to satisfy the commitment to return the equivalent quantity and purity of indium is a business risk that we face in a lending transaction. However, the penalty fee aspect as detailed in our USPA would somewhat mitigate our overall business risk because the penalty fee would provide funds for us to purchase indium from other sources at less than favorable prices (if applicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the borrower defaults in its obligations under the USPA, there is always the risk that we might not be able to replace the indium lent at favorable prices. In such instances, we may not be able to recoup our losses through litigation and we would assume the loss which could negatively impact our NMV.

Indium Market Overview

About Indium

Indium (symbol In) is a rare, very soft, silvery-white malleable metal with a bright luster. It is number 49 on the Periodic Table of Elements with an atomic weight of 114.81. Indium is chemically similar to aluminum and gallium, but more closely resembles zinc. Indium is a rare element and ranks 61 ^st in abundance in the Earth’s crust at an estimated 240 parts per billion by weight. This makes it about three times more abundant than silver or mercury. Indium occurs predominantly in the zinc-sulfide ore mineral, sphalerite. Indium is produced mainly from residues generated during zinc ore processing but is also found in iron, lead, and copper ores. The average indium content of zinc deposits from which it is recovered, ranges from less than 1 part per million to 100 parts per million. Its occurrence in nature with other base metal ores is sub-economic for indium recovery. Pure indium in metal form is considered non-toxic by most sources.

Properties and Characteristics of Indium

Indium is very malleable and ductile and can be easily formed into a wide variety of fabrications. Another distinctive characteristic of indium is that it retains its softness at temperatures approaching absolute zero degrees, making it ideal for cryogenic (freezing or very low temperature) and vacuum application. The properties of indium may be summarized as follows:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

According to Displaybank, the total demand for indium was 861 tons in 2006 and was expected to be about 1,000 tons in 2007. Metal Bulletin reported that the average price for indium was $822 per kilogram in 2006. Based on these figures, we determined that the total size of the indium market was approximately $708 million in 2006. Although the actual size of the indium market in 2007 has yet to be determined, Displaybank expects the total sales of indium in 2007 to be $533 million. Industry information with regards to monthly sales volumes and dollar values of indium transactions is not readily available. Indium does not trade on any futures exchange and there are no indium futures contracts.

Applications

Flat Panel Displays & LCDs

Indium is an essential raw material for a number of consumer electronics applications. The primary commercial application of indium is in coatings for the flat panel display (“FPD”) industry. Indium is only useful when chemically processed with tin-oxide to form indium-tin-oxide (“ITO”) to allow for electrical conductivity and optical transparency. Sputtering targets are placed in a vacuum and since ITO is conductive and optically transparent, thin layers of ITO are then applied as electrical contacts onto glass, which can in turn be used as Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) on electronic devices like television sets, computers and mobile phones. The ITO transparent conductor is currently popularly used in LCD technology due to its unique qualities of low melting point, good uniformity (which is suitable for large LCDs), fast etching time and long life span. Next generation LED backlit LCD TVs and computer monitors as well as organic light emitting (“OLED”) TVs and displays all use indium.

Solar Energy Technology

Indium is increasingly being used as a crucial raw material in the solar energy industry. Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) is a new semiconductor material comprised of copper, indium, gallium, and selenium. Its main use is for high-efficiency photovoltaic cells (CIGS cells), in the form of thin-film photovoltaic. The thin-film photovoltaic has several advantages over traditional solar energy technologies. It is lightweight, can be applied on uneven surfaces and can be rolled up when not in use. CIGS show great promise in achieving high conversion efficiencies at low costs. According to the USGS, CIGS solar cells require approximately 50 metric tons of indium to produce 1 gigawatt of solar power. Research is underway to develop a low-cost manufacturing process for flexible CIGS solar cells that would yield high production throughput. We believe that flexible CIGS solar cells could be used in roofing materials and in various applications in the aerospace, military and recreational industries.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Indium-Tin-Oxide Applications

Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO, or tin-doped indium oxide) is a mixture of indium (III) oxide (In ₂ O ₃ ) and tin (IV) oxide (SnO ₂ ), typically 90% In ₂ O ₃ , 10% SnO ₂ by weight. It is transparent and colorless in thin layers. In bilk form, it is yellowish to grey colored powder with a molecular weight of 277.64. It is a stable ceramic-like material, insoluble in water and volatizes at 850 degrees Celsius. ITO’s main feature is the combination of electrical conductivity and optical transparency. Thin films of ITO are most commonly deposited on surfaces by electron beam evaporation, physical vapor deposition, or a range of sputtering deposition techniques.

Production of ITO thin-film coatings accounted for approximately 84.0% of global indium consumption. Of the remaining 16.0% of the global indium market, other end uses include solders and alloys, 8.0%; compounds, 5.0%; electrical components and semiconductors, 2.0%; and research and other, 1.0%.

Substitutes and Alternatives to Indium

In a report titled, “Indium Tin Oxide and Alternative Transparent Conductor Markets,” NanoMarkets expects the market for ITO substitutes to grow from $30 million in 2009 to almost $940 million in 2016. Such alternatives include other transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), carbon nanotube-based formulations, other nanomaterials, composites and metals. NanoMarkets also expects the market for ITO to grow from $3.2 billion in 2009 to $10.9 billion in 2016. Based on these figures, ITO substitution is expected to grow from less than 1% of the total market in 2009 to approximately 8% of the total market in 2016. According to the USGS, indium’s recent price volatility and various supply concerns associated with the metal have accelerated the development of ITO substitutes. Antimony tin oxide (ATO) coatings, which are deposited by an ink-jetting process, have been developed as an alternative to ITO coatings in LCDs and have been successfully annealed to LCD glass. A potential drawback to using ATO is the fact that the metal antimony and many of its compounds are toxic. Materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene have advantages over ITO such as relative lower cost, compatibility with flexible substrates and improved performance in certain applications.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Carbon nanotube coatings, applied by wet-processing techniques, have been developed as an alternative to ITO coatings in flexible displays, solar cells and touch screens. ITO is considered brittle as are some other potential substitutes like aluminum-zinc-oxide. The resistive touch screen market and the flexible display market are most ripe for alternatives to ITO and other brittle TCOs that cannot stand up to repeated poking and flexing. Capacitive technology (used in screens for smartphones like Apple’s iPhone), on the other hand, offers high clarity and quality of the display image and since it does not work by poking with a stylus, the capacitive screen can more easily make use of ITO and other brittle TCOs. Graphene is another TCO developed as a substitute for ITO that works well in labs, especially for touch screens and flexible displays. Some labs actually manufacture graphene by growing it on an indium substrate. Poly (3, 4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) has also been developed as a substitute for ITO in flexible displays and organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). PEDOT can be applied in a variety of ways, including spin coating, dip coating and printing techniques. Researchers have recently developed a more adhesive zinc oxide nanopowder to replace ITO in LCDs. Although graphene, carbon nanotubes, PEDOTS and the other TCOs may be viable alternatives, there remain several unknowns. It is not known if manufacturers of special materials can successfully mass produce enough of these specialty materials to supply industry. It is not known how well these new materials will perform over the long-term in consumer based products. It is not known what the opportunity cost would be to the Flat Panel Display (FPD) Industry to transition from ITO to these other alternatives. The FPD manufacturers have already spent tens of billions of dollars building fabs designed to use ITO. Lastly, the cost per kilogram of some of these alternative materials may also be volatile. As of July 3, 2010, Cheap Tubes Inc. was selling graphene in quantities of 1 to 9 kilograms at $525 per kilogram and in quantities in excess of 1000 kilograms at $385 per kilogram. According to a January 20, 2010 article titled “Carbon Nanotube Structural Composites – Implications and Impact,” the lowest price nanotubes may be had for today is a few hundred dollars per kilogram.

According to the USGS, indium phosphide can be substituted by gallium arsenide in solar cells and in many semiconductor applications. Hafnium can replace indium in nuclear reactor control rod alloys. Potential drawbacks using gallium and hafnium as replacements for indium is the fact that both these metals are also considered expensive, have highly volatile price histories and are both byproduct metals like indium. Gallium is a byproduct of aluminum production and hafnium is a byproduct of zirconium refinement. Total annual production of gallium is smaller than annual primary indium production. According to the USGS, world primary gallium production was estimated at 78 metric tons in 2009 and world primary hafnium production statistics were not available.

Supply of Indium

According to the USGS, the top five indium producing countries in the world in 2009 were China, Japan, Canada, Republic of Korea, and Belgium. China’s refinery production of indium was approximately 300 metric tons in 2009. This is approximately 50% of the annual total global refined production of 597 metric tons.

According to the USGS, primary refined production of indium has been relatively flat since 2006. Annual worldwide production has ranged between 563 metric tons to 597 metric tons per year. Worldwide production actually decreased from 582 metric tons in 2006 to 563 metric tons in 2007 and edged up slightly to 573 metric tons in 2008 and an estimated 597 metric tons in 2009.

On the supply side, a critical element will be the ability of individual countries to recycle indium contained in electronic components. Because indium is mostly a byproduct of zinc mining and smelting, it will be hard to increase primary production unless there is an increase in zinc production. During the past decades, dwindling zinc prices forced some high cost and low-grade underground zinc mines and a few older and less efficient zinc refineries to close. Zinc prices soared in 2005 and 2006 to record high levels, in turn, according to the USGS, world mine production of zinc increased from 10 million metric tons in 2006 to an estimated 11.6 million metric tons in 2008. The average London Metals Exchange (LME) price for zinc in July 2004 was approximately US$1,020 per ton. The average LME price for zinc increased to approximately US$3,340 per ton by July 2006. We believe that this increased primary indium production as well. Higher prices for indium, has also resulted in increased recycling. Despite increasing demand for indium, worldwide supply is expected to be adequate with increased primary production and recycling. More recently, by mid 2010, the price of zinc plummeted from the lofty levels witnessed in 2006 and early 2007. We believe that

TABLE OF CONTENTS

weak zinc prices have curtailed the production of zinc. This is reflected in the 2010 USGS Zinc Report which estimates zinc production fell from 11.6 million tons in 2008 to 11.1 million tons in 2009. Intuitively, this would imply lower levels of indium recovery in 2009, thusly promulgating increased competition for indium in the future. However, the 2010 USGS Indium Report estimates indium production actually increased slightly in 2009. The USGS estimates zinc production fell 12.5% and 8.1% in China and Peru year over year, respectively. Contradictorily, the USGS estimates Chinese indium production only decreased by 3.2% in 2009 and Peruvian production actually surged 233% in 2009.

Recycling Market

The recycling of indium has increased in recent years. The indium recycling market is now larger than primary refinery production. Recycling scrap indium into 3N7 or higher purity metal ingot is extremely complex and time consuming. According to the USGS, indium is most commonly recovered from ITO. Sputtering, the process in which ITO is deposited as a thin-film coating onto a substrate, is highly inefficient; approximately 30.0% of an ITO target is deposited onto the substrate. The remaining 70.0% consists of the spent ITO target, the grinding sludge, and the after-processing residue left on the walls of the sputtering chamber. It was estimated that 60.0% to 65.0% of the indium in a new ITO target will be recovered, and research was underway to improve this rate further. Typically, end users (ie. FPD manufacturers) establish contracts directly with the recyclers. Pursuant to such contracts, the end user supplies the recycler with scrap indium and the recycler specially processes, refines, and then returns the purified recaptured indium to the end user. Recyclers cannot sell the recycled indium to anyone else other than the end user who supplied the scrap indium. Industry insiders consider the recycling market a “closed loop”. According to the USGS, it was reported that the ITO recycling loop — from collection of scrap to production of secondary materials — now takes less than 30 days. If recycling activity continues to grow and becomes more efficient, this may serve to increase the total worldwide indium supply. In the primary indium market, an increase in the price of indium does not lead to increased indium production because it is predominantly a byproduct of zinc mining. It is believed that the market price of indium does influence the rates of reclaiming and recycling of indium. In recent years, according to a report titled Indium and Gallium Sustainability — September 2007 Update, reclaimed indium supply increased from 357 metric tons in 2005 to 503 metric tons in 2006. The same report projected total indium recycling at 650 metric tons in 2007, 802 metric tons in 2008, and 961 metric tons in 2009. In September 2007, a presentation titled “Indium: Hot, Green & Bright” prepared by AIM Specialty Materials estimated that the total supply of indium from recycling at 847 metric tons in 2007, 1101 metric tons in 2008, and 1318 metric tons in 2009. Based on what we consider the more conservative estimates, recycled indium represented 41.6% of total global indium supply in 2005, 46.4% in 2006, and 56.0% in 2007. While the primary indium supply actually decreased from 582 metric tons in 2006 to 573 metric tons in 2008, the recycling market continues to expand. The USGS does not provide specific data for the recycling market but stated that global secondary indium production increased significantly during the past several years and now accounts for a greater share of indium production than primary. The USGS also stated that this trend is expected to continue in the future and that several major secondary indium producers in Japan and the Republic of Korea announced plans to further increase their recycling capacity. MinorMetals.com reported on January 11, 2010 that 850 tons of indium was recycled in 2008, this would represent approximately 59.7% of total global indium supply based on the 573 tons of primary indium supply reported by the USGS for 2008.

According to Umicore Indium Products, a leading U.S. manufacturer and supplier of ITO products, in some cases up to 70.0% of ITO can be recycled, generating a considerable source for secondary indium, attenuating the effect of reduced virgin indium production. Indium scrap is recovered from ITO, specially processed or refined and purified back to a minimum purity of 99.99%. In 2005, Sharp reported they succeeded in recycling indium from LCD panels. The USGS also reported that an LCD manufacturer has developed a process to reclaim indium directly from scrap LCD panels. The panels are crushed into millimeter-sized particles then soaked in an acid solution to dissolve the ITO, from which the indium is recovered. Indium recovery from tailings was thought to have been insignificant, as these wastes contain low amounts of the metal and can be difficult to process. However, recent improvements to the process technology have made indium recovery from tailings viable when the price of indium is high. Japanese based, Dowa Mining Company Ltd. is the world’s largest secondary indium producer. In November 2005, Metal-Pages reported that Dowa Mining was expecting to expand its production capacity to recover indium from

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ITO scrap by 50% to 150 metric tons at its subsidiary Akita Rare Metal Co. We do not expect to have any access to material sold by indium recyclers and we will be primarily dependent on primary refined production.

China

According to the USGS, China controls over 50% of the world’s refined indium production. There are a number of major producers in China, but also numerous smaller producers, relying on purchasing the concentrates from the larger base-metal refiners. China produces approximately 300 to 350 metric tons of indium per year. The Chinese government restricts indium’s export with taxes. In December 2009, China announced it would reduce export taxes on unwrought indium, indium scrap and indium powder from the 10.0% to 15.0% level in 2009 to 5.0% in 2010. In December 2009, The Ministry of Commerce issued a quota allowing China to export 139.8 tons of indium in the first half of 2010, the same level as 2009. In October 2010, Bloomberg LP reported that the Ministry of Commerce in China announced the full year 2011 export quota for indium would remain unchanged from 2010 levels at 233 metric tons. The eleven licensed companies granted the largest indium export quotas for the first half of 2010 were Zhuzhou Smeltery Group Co., Ltd. — 29.4 metric tons; Nanjing Foreign Economic & Trade Development Co., Ltd. — 17.6 metric tons; Guangxi China Tin Group Co., Ltd. — 15.3 metric tons; Zhuzhou Keneng New Materials Co., Ltd — 14.2 metric tons; Huludao Nonferrous Metals (Group) I/E Co., Ltd. — 8.7 metric tons; Guangxi Debang Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. — 6.0 metric tons; Xiangten Zhengtan Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd. — 6.7 metric tons; Hunan Jinshi Group — 6.2 metric tons; Nanjing Germanium Co., Ltd. — 7.8 metric tons; Liuzhou Yingge Metals Co., Ltd. — 5.9 metric tons and Nanjing Sanyou Electronic Materials Co., Ltd. — 4.3 metric tons. We believe that most of China’s indium output is exported, with domestic demand currently unable to sustain production.

According to the USGS, several producers in China suspended spot exports of indium in April 2008. Liuzhou China Tin Group Co., Ltd, (30 – 40 tons per year indium production capacity) stopped exporting indium towards the latter half of 2007 owing to low indium prices and again halted exports and sales late in April 2008. The USGS also states “the production cost of 99.99%-pure indium metal in China was estimated to be between $550 to $650 per kilogram.” We believe that actual production costs have declined since the USGS reported those estimates because the price of a key ingredient in the indium extraction process, sulfuric acid, has dropped precipitously since peaking in 2008. On November 8, 2010, a source in Asia reported to Metal Bulletin PLC that the cost of production for Chinese indium smelters is around $485 per kilogram. Most of the indium producers in China restarted exporting in May 2008 after the price of indium rebounded. According to the USGS, by the end of 2008, two producers in China confirmed they had again suspended indium production and several producers reduced their production rates as a result of cuts in zinc production and falling indium prices.

Canada

The USGS estimated that in 2008 Canada produced 50 metric tons of indium. According to the USGS, the Canadian firm, Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”), is a long-time producer and refiner of indium as a byproduct at its facilities in Trail, British Columbia, Canada. In 2005, Teck produced 41 metric tons of indium there from concentrates. Teck announced in 2005 that it was planning to increase indium production to 75 metric tons within two years. The USGS indium data does not show any increased production of indium in Canada between 2005 and 2009, but we believe the increase may show up in the 2010 figures.

According to the USGS, the other major producer of indium in Canada is Falconbridge Ltd. In 2007, Falconbridge was acquired by Xstrata Plc, a diversified global mining company. In December 2009, Xstrata Plc announced that on May 1, 2010 it will permanently cease operation of its copper and zinc metallurgical plants at the Kidd Metallurgical site in Timmins, Ontario, Canada. According to Roskill, an information service provider of information on international metals and minerals markets, in its report titled “The Economics of Indium, 2003,” the Kidd Metallurgical Division was capable of refining up to 40 tons per year of indium. All of the output from the Kidd Creek smelter was shipped to The Indium Corp. of America for further refining. According to the USGS, Xstrata produced 11 tons of refined indium at Kidd Creek in 2007 and 8 tons in 2008. In May 2010, Xstrata confirmed that the Kidd Creek smelter produced 11.5 tons of indium in 2009.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

United States

The United States does not produce any primary domestic indium and relies on imports from China, Canada, Japan, Russia, and other countries. All refined indium production in the United States during 2007 came from the refining of lower grade imported indium metal and from refining scrap. Two refineries, one in New York and the other in Rhode Island, produced the majority of indium metal and indium compounds in 2007. A number of small companies produced specialty indium alloys and other indium products. Very little indium is recycled in the United States. We believe this is because there is no infrastructure for the collection of used indium-containing products.

Zinc Supply

According to the USGS, total worldwide zinc production was 8.5 million metric tons in 2003, 9.6 million metric tons in 2004, 9.8 million metric tons in 2005, 10.0 million metric tons in 2006, 10.9 million metric tons in 2007, 11.6 metric tons in 2008 and approximately 11.1 million metric tons in 2009. Yearly zinc production dwarfs the 2009 estimated total primary refined indium production figures of 597 metric tons and the USGS’s 2008 estimated 850 metric tons of recycled indium. Total indium production represents less than one hundredth of one percent of total zinc production on an annual basis.

In a Credit Suisse research report dated November 10, 2009 and titled “Teck Resources Ltd. — Raising EPS and TP on Higher Coking Coal and Zinc Price Forecasts,” the Credit Suisse analysts’ “expect zinc to be in over-supply in 2009 and 2010, but in deficit from 2011 as mine production flattens on the closure of large mines.” The report also states 2011 mine production should be flat with 2010 production before rising only 3.9% in 2012. Credit Suisse expects a shortfall in zinc concentrates in those years will constrain refinery output. Credit Suisse also sees significant zinc mine closures nearing as mines are exhausted. They expect the Brunswick mine in Canada to be closed in 2011 and the Iscaycruz mine in Peru, Century mine in Australia, and Lisheen mine in Eire to close between 2013 and 2015. These are all considered large zinc mines. In a January 19, 2010 research report titled “Metal Prospects — Zinc Market Outlook — First Quarter 2010,” RBC Capital Markets’ analysis of zinc supply “suggests that capacity utilization rates fell sharply in 2009 because mine curtailments restricted concentrate supply. In 2010 and beyond, utilization rates are expected to continue to fall, constrained by a shortage of concentrate as a number of permanent mine closures take effect. The bottleneck in the market will be mine supply. Global refined production increased 6.4% in 2007 and 2.5% in 2008. We estimate that production declined by 6.0% in 2009.” Furthermore, RBC states that in 2013 they expect the concentrate shortage to become acute.

Any disruptions in the mining of zinc could have a direct impact on the production and availability of primary refined indium. In May 2008, an earthquake in China completely halted ten zinc smelters in Sichuan Province’s Deyang, Hanyuan and Ganzi regions, as well as in nearby southern regions of Shaanxi Province and Gansu Province, due to damaged facilities and power supply failures. It was estimated that 510,000 metric tons of zinc smelting capacity was affected or approximately 7.0% of China’s national total. If those particular zinc smelters were all refining indium and were shut for one full year, perhaps as much as 21.7 metric tons or 3.8% of primary indium production could have been lost.

World Primary Indium Production

Demand for Indium

According to a DisplayDaily.com article published on August 1, 2007 titled “Indium You May Not See It But You Really Need It,” the demand for indium was 861 tons in 2006 [$708 million] and was expected to be about 1,000 tons in 2007 [$684 million] and may reach almost 2,000 tons by 2011. Indium is primarily produced as a by-product of zinc production. By the standards of the zinc industry, indium is miniscule in terms of both tons and dollar volume. Seven years ago indium was about $100/kg and now costs $547.50/kg. The total size of the primary indium market in dollar terms has declined since 2006 due to the drop in the price of indium. Based on the USGS’s primary production figures and Bloomberg’s calculation of the average yearly price of indium using the prices reported by Metal Bulletin on Bloomberg, the size of the primary indium market was $478 million in 2006, $385 million in 2007, $316 million in 2008 and $238 million in 2009. According to MinorMetals.com, when recycling is taken into account, total indium supply in 2008 was approximately 1400 tons. This would translate into a total market size of approximately $771 million based on Metal Bulletin’s average price of $551 per kilogram for indium in 2008.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The price of indium has declined substantially since it peaked in March 2005. The price for indium has declined 48.8% from its high of $1,070 per kilogram in March 2005 to $547.50 per kilogram as of December 1, 2010. If we began operations in March 2005, and we purchased our stockpile at peak prices, the value of our stockpile would have decreased by 48.8% in approximately five years. It is possible that if we purchase the stockpile at today’s prices then the value may fall substantially. It is possible that we will not be able to sell our indium stockpile at prices higher than the price we paid for it. As recently as 2002, the price of indium was less than $100 per kilogram. If the price of indium returns to those levels, the value of our stockpile will be substantially lower than what we paid for it.

A small amount of indium is used to make every liquid crystal display screen. This is the primary use of indium today and accounts for approximately 84.0% of consumption. These LCDs are key components in laptop computers, flat panel monitors and flat panel televisions. They are also used in cell phones, PDAs, digital cameras, clocks, watches, picture frames, GPS receivers, answering machines and other electronic devices. Touch screens for mobile devices is another growing application for indium. According to the USGS, mobile telephones with a multi-touch LCD screen have two layers of indium-tin-oxide, doubling the amount of indium traditionally used in the screen. We believe many of these products are in very high demand and LCDs are being incorporated into an increasing number of devices.

According to the USGS, about 2.0% of the indium produced is used to make electrical components. These are mainly used in infrared detectors, high speed transistors and photovoltaic devices for the solar industry. Indium’s very low melting point and ability to conduct electricity make it an important ingredient in many low temperature solders and alloys. According to the USGS, about 13.0% of indium consumption goes to alloys, solders and compounds.

Another important use of indium is in coatings applied to glass. These coatings are transparent, but reflect radiant heat through the glass. These glasses are used in aircraft windows, windows of office buildings, and doors on refrigerators and ovens. Small amounts of indium are also used for defogging agents to keep condensation from building up on aircraft and locomotive windows. We believe some of these uses may have declined over the past few years because of the rise in the price of indium.

According to the USGS, U.S. indium consumption was estimated at 120 metric tons in 2009, up substantially from the 55 metric tons consumed in 2000 and the 30 metric tons in 1990. This confirms our belief that many of the traditional applications utilizing indium have a long-term upward trajectory in demand. The USGS also estimated that the U.S. imported only 95 tons of indium in 2009 down from 144 tons in 2008. This implies a significant drawdown in U.S. indium inventory based on the estimated domestic consumption in 2008 and 2009.

U.S. Indium End-Use (MT)

Source: U.S. Geological Survey

According to a Metal-Pages.com article published on June 17, 2010 titled “EU Warned of Potential Critical Metal Shortage,” a taskforce of experts supplied a report to the European Commission on June 17, 2010 warning that there is long-term potential for critical metal shortages. The experts listed 14 raw materials, including indium, as critical to the European Union due to their high relative economic importance and to high relative supply risk. The 14 metals and minerals were singled out of the 41 studied in total as most acutely vulnerable to shortage due to demand in Europe outstripping supply. Based on a study commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, referenced in the report, the demand for indium from emerging technologies is expected to grow from 234 tons in 2006 to 1911 tons in 2030. Indium’s demand in 2030 could outstrip 2006 supply levels by 3.29 times.

Flat Panel Displays (FPDs)

We believe the demand for indium will grow for the foreseeable future. We believe the markets for flat panel displays are strong, particularly for computer monitors, televisions, phones, and PDA’s. We expect high rates of growth in the LCD industry to generate increased demand for indium and we expect increased consumption in this market.

Indium is a key component of Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO), the standard transparent electrode used in virtually all flat panel displays and micro displays. An electrode is needed to either drive the cell or provide electromagnetic shielding, whether the display is a liquid crystal (LC), organic light emitting diode (OLED) or plasma cell. Transparency is needed to allow the light generated or controlled to reach the outside world. Touch screens routinely use ITO in the touch subsystem as well as in the LCD frontplane. Apple’s iPhone is an example of capacitive touch screen technology utilizing ITO to offer higher clarity and quality of the display image. NanoMarkets LC, a leading provider of market and technology research and industry analysis services, expects the market for ITO to grow from $3.2 billion in 2009 to $10.9 billion in 2016.

According to the USGS, the indium market remained in deficit in 2008 as demand for the metal, supported largely by ITO demand, continued to outpace supply. The USGS also reported that in 2007, year-on-year shipments of LCD television panels were forecast to increase 47.0%, and LCD monitor panels to increase 24.0%. According to the USGS, mainstream LCD devices were also trending toward larger panel sizes, which require more indium per unit.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

According to the LCD TV Association, less than 10 million LCD TV sets were sold globally in 2004. By 2006, more than 40 million LCDs were sold ramping to 79 million in 2007 and 105 million units in 2008. The LCD TV Association predicted that with LCD TVs getting better and less expensive each year that there will be 200 million units sold annually by 2012. ⁽¹⁾ We believe these forecasts may be conservative based on a press release issued in December 2009 by DisplaySearch upgrading its 2009 LCD TV forecast to 140.5 million units, based on surging demand in China, as well as improving outlook for LCD TVs in Western Europe and North America from large price declines. DisplaySearch also forecasts a 22.0% percent increase in LCD TV sales in 2010 to 171 million units. According to Aim Specialty Materials, the cost of ITO per LCD panel is insignificant. Despite indium prices exceeding $800 per kilogram in 2006, the cost of indium that is applied to a 32” LCD panel would be approximately $0.55. Even if the price of indium were to double, the indium (ITO) cost per panel would be approximately $1.00 on a product that retails for over $750 per unit.

LED Industry

A light-emitting diode or LED is a semiconductor device that emits visible light or infrared radiation when an electric current is passed. The visible emission, often a high-intensity light, is useful in a whole host of applications. All of the innovation in the high brightness LED (“HB-LED”) market sources back to the compound semiconductor technology based on gallium and indium combinations, according to Tom Griffiths’ article titled “Getting Ahead of the LED Lighting Curve.” An LED usually begins with either a sapphire or silicon-carbide substrate. The substrate is then placed in a specialized oven known as an epitaxial reactor. In the epitaxial ovens (metal organic chemical vapor deposition or “MOVCD” reactors) vaporized metal combinations are injected to form the epitaxial layers on the substrate creating epi-wafers that produce red-orange-yellow-green-blue spectrum. Indium-Gallium-Aluminum-Phosphide (“InGaAlP”) based LEDs are used in high-intensity red-yellow and green LED devices. Indium-Gallium-Nitride (“InGaN”) is used in green, blue, ultraviolet and white LEDs. Cree, a leader in the solid-state lighting industry, combines highly efficient InGaN materials with proprietary substrates to deliver high-intensity LEDs in a wide range of applications including: digital camera flash, full-motion video signs, automotive dashboard lighting, traffic signals and cell phone backlighting. The global LED market is served by a number of large established suppliers. According to Roskill, “The Economics of Indium, 2003,” Nichia Corp, Toyoda Gosei, Cree and Osram dominate the market for blue, green and white LEDs based on InGaN. The major suppliers of yellow, orange and red High-Brightness-LEDs based on InGasAlP are Agilent Technologies, Lumileds Lighting, Osram, Toshiba and Epistar of Taiwan.

The LED TV and the LED Lighting markets are expected to grow rapidly over the next few years. In a KGI research report dated September 16, 2009, titled “LED Sector — Golden Decade Ahead for LED TV and LED Lighting,” analyst Yvonne Lu states “the growth potential of LED Lighting is huge, as at present LED accounts for only 0.5% of the global lighting market estimated at US$122 billion in 2009.” Mr. Lu is forecasting strong growth momentum and expects the “LED TV and LED monitor segments to take off in 2010-2011.” On December 23, 2009, the Digitimes reported that according to LED supplier Neo-Neon Holdings chairman Ben Fan, that “the global supply of LED chips will remain short over the next two years due to increasing use in LCD panel backlighting and even faster increases in lighting applications.” Fan added that “the lighting sector will see the LED chip shortage worsen as inventories of LED chips will be fast decreasing in the next two to three months.” According to Strategies Unlimited, a research firm, and J.P. Morgan’s North America Equity Research, overall HB LED revenue growth is expected to exceed 30.0% annually from 2009 to 2013. This rapid growth will be mostly driven by LCD backlighting and the general lighting market segments. Combined, these two applications are estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 83.0% between 2009 and 2013. They project that within five years, the LED market will grow from $4.9 billion in 2009 to $14.9 billion in 2013.

In December 2009, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors announced they completed construction and process testing for an LED chip production plant located in Penang, Malaysia. OSRAM claims they are the first LED manufacturer with high-volume chip production facilities in both Europe and Asia. Routine production is underway using 4-inch wafer based Indium-Gallium-Nitride (InGaN) semiconductor chips. The chips form the basis for the blue, green and white LEDs used primarily in architectural and general lighting, for display backlighting and in mobile terminal devices.

In September 2009, Bloomberg News reported that at a metals conference in Beijing, Feng Juncong, an analyst at Beijing Antaike Information Development Co., Ltd., the state-backed research group, stated that “Indium used in LED may exceed 100 tons by 2015.” We believe this would represent a very large new demand driver for indium and consume a substantial portion of the world’s primary indium supply, if this projection were to become a reality.

LED Backlit LCDs

The next generation of LCD TVs and computer monitors use LEDs as the backlight. On November 2009, Metal-Pages Ltd. reported that according to the most recent DisplaySearch Quarterly LED & CCFL Backlight Report that light-emitting diodes (LEDs) will become the dominant large-area TFT LCD backlit unit light source by 2011, taking 56.0% share of the market. They also reported that traditional backlights using fluorescent tubes (cold cathode fluorescent lamps “CCFL” and external electrode fluorescent lamps “EEFL”) for notebook PC, monitor, and TV displays will drop to 44.0% of the market in 2011. The LCD TV Association reports in “LCD TV Matters” Volume 3, Issue 2, sighting the DisplaySearch report “LED LCD TV Maker’s Roadmap and Market Forecast, December 2009,” that the LED backlight penetration rate in LCD TVs is expected to grow to 69.1% in 2013. Specifically, DisplaySearch forecasts the penetration rate of LED backlights for LCD TVs to grow from less than 3.0% in 2009 to 69.1% in 2013 and surpass CCFL backlights in 2013 with more than a 70% penetration rate. According to the Digitimes, although LED-backlight penetration in monitor panels was only 1.4% in the third quarter of 2009, current panel makers’ plans indicate that the penetration could reach 22.0% in approximately one year, assuming adoption by brands. Some manufacturers claim that LED-backlit LCD TVs are more efficient than traditional LCD TVs lit by fluorescent tubes by up to 30.0%. LEDs are also much smaller than tubes, even after accounting for the number of them needed to light an entire TV using either LED edge lighting designs or LED direct matrix lighting design technology. LED-backlit TVs can be manufactured significantly thinner than their CCFL lit counterparts. LED-backlit LCD TVs and computer monitors all consume indium. The LCD glass screens continue to be coated with indium-tin-oxide and in addition, the LED-backlights also consume minute quantities of indium.

Solar Industry

Indium is increasingly being used as a crucial raw material in the solar energy industry. According to the United States’ National Renewable Energy Laboratory, to produce 20 gigawatts of solar power by the year 2050, the United States will need 400 metric tons of indium per year for the production of photovoltaic

TABLE OF CONTENTS

modules and systems alone. Based on the same report, the shortage of either indium or tellurium (another raw material for photovoltaic production) could result in serious bottlenecks to such growth unless such cells were made thinner or substitutes were found.

Solar cells are growing in importance and have a distinct similarity to FPDs. For example, the recently announced Sharp Gen 10 fabrication facility will be used not only for LCD panels but also for manufacturing solar cells as well. According to Insight Media Analyst, they believe that in one year, the facility is expected to be able to produce enough solar cells to produce 100 megawatts (“MW”) of power indefinitely. This is the equivalent of a medium-sized nuclear power plant.

Copper-Indium-Gallium-di-Selenide (CIGS) is a new semiconductor material comprising copper, indium, gallium, and selenium. This material is being used in the next generation of photovoltaic cells or CIGS solar cells. CIGS solar cells are not yet as efficient as crystalline silicon solar cells, however, they are expected to be substantially cheaper. As a thin-film photovoltaic (PV) technology, CIGS should have relatively low costs in scale production due to low usage of PV materials and efficient production processes. CIGS is recognized to be one of the most promising thin-film technologies given its high conversion efficiency as delivered in lab environments. We believe that once mass production issues are mastered by industry participants, CIGS based solar photovoltaic panels could be a large new market for the usage of indium.

In a recently released report, “Materials Markets for Thin-Film and Organic Photovoltaics,” NanoMarkets, a leading industry analyst, estimated that the market opportunity for materials used in CIS (Copper-Indium-Selenium)/CIGS type solar cells will grow from $193.2 million in 2008, to $465.2 million in 2010, before climbing to $1.11 billion in 2015. NanoMarkets also believes that the CIS/CIGS sector will produce almost $5.0 billion in revenues by 2015.

In July 2009, NanoMarkets released a report titled “Indium Markets for Photovoltaics.” According to Photovoltaics International, NanoMarkets projects indium consumption by the Photovoltaic industry to grow ten-fold over the next eight years from 20 metric tons to more than 228 metric tons in 2016, a growth rate that is faster than that expected for the FPD industry. Nanomarkets expects a change over time away from the use of sputtering targets and evaporation slugs as lower cost deposition methods develop. Furthermore, they expect a shift towards indium salts for electrodeposition and nanoparticles of indium, indium selenide and indium oxide inks for printing. Printing and electrodeposition will represent close to 28.0%, or 52.3 metric tons, of the total indium consumption for CIGS in 2016. NanoMarkets also said in the report that indium consumption for ITO in the PV industry will grow from 13 metric tons in 2011 to 39.4 metric tons in 2016.

In the 2008 Minerals Yearbook, the USGS states: “The solar industry is experiencing growth, and the percentage of indium consumed for this market may increase substantially in the future. According to sources at Indium Corp., indium demand for thin-film CIGS solar cells potentially could increase to 300 ton per year by 2013. Current indium consumption was nearly 30 to 35 tons per year. Strong investment in CIGS solar cell projects coupled with new or recently expanded manufacturing plants in Europe, Japan, and the United States indicate that indium consumption for solar cells is expected to increase globally.” Currently, the long established thin-film photovoltaic amorphous silicon (a-Si) PV industry uses indium in the form of ITO as its transparent conductor. Some manufacturers of organic photovoltaics (OPV), dye-sensitized cell photovoltaics (DSV-PV) and Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) photovoltaics also use ITO in small quantities.

In May 2009, Metal-Pages reported that Showa Shell Sekiyu KK, the Japanese subsidiary of the Royal Dutch Shell PLC refiner and solar equipment maker, will spend 160 billion Yen ($1.7 billion U.S.) over the next five years to increase solar output to 1 GW a year from its current 80 MW. In 2007, Showa Shell started commercial production of solar panels using CIS for the production of solar energy and electricity. Showa Shell has two factories in the Miyazaki Prefecture that could produce a combined 80 MW per year and plans to build a third solar-panel plant for an estimated 100 billion Yen ($1.05 billion U.S.) to start production in 2011. The USGS reported the Showa Shell 1,000-MW/yr solar manufacturing plant could consume 30 tons of indium per year. CIS panels are similar to CIGS panels but may be easier and possibly cheaper to make, however, they are not as efficient at turning sunlight into power as CIGS panels.

According to Greentech Media, over the past several years, capital investment in CIGS solar companies has exceeded $2.3 billion. In March 2009, Solyndra Inc. announced that it received a $535 million loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to expand its solar panel manufacturing capacity in California. Solyndra has raised in excess of $600 million in financing from venture capital firms including CMEA Ventures and Redpoint Ventures. In June 2006, Nanosolar Inc. announced $100 million in funding from leading venture capital firms. Furthermore, it has been widely reported that Nanosolar raised an additional $300 million in equity financing in August 2008 bringing its total funding to $500 million. Thin-film solar startup Miasole raised $50 million in 2007 and reports indicate as much as an additional $220 million in late 2008 from venture firms including Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and VantagePoint Venture Partners. In 2007, Heliovolt Corporation closed a $101 million series B funding round and an additional $17.5 million as part of a $32 million round in April 2009 led by Sequel Venture Partners, Credit Suisse Private Equity, New Enterprise Associates, and Morgan Stanley Private Equity. SulfurCell has raised more than $165 million from Masdar, Intel and Climate Change Capital. Finally, SoloPower, an innovator of thin-film solar photovoltaic cells and modules, raised $30 million in 2007 and Venture Wire said they secured another $200 million in late 2008.

On December 18, 2009, Solyndra, Inc filed a registration statement with the SEC to raise up to $300 million in an IPO led by Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley, two leading investment banks. Solyndra states in the filing that their proprietary and scalable process technology utilizes a thin layer of CIGS as the primary solar semiconductor material, which has the highest demonstrated efficiency among the three major thin film technologies available today. According to the registration statement, Solyndra commenced shipments of CIGS based photovoltaic systems in July 2008 and increased sales volume every quarter since that date. Solyndra sold 17.4 MW of panels in the nine months ended October 3, 2009, compared to 1.6 MW for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009. The registration statement also states that Solyndra’s Fab 1, had an annualized production run rate of 45 MW during its fiscal month ended December 5, 2009. Furthermore, Solyndra is in the process of expanding production capacity at Fab 1 and expects to reach an annualized production rate of 110 MW by the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010. In addition, Solyndra is building another fab, referred to as Fab 2. In phase I of construction, Fab 2 is expected to have an annualized production run rate of 250 MW by the end of the first half of 2012 with first production output occurring in the first quarter of 2011. Phase II would further expand Fab 2’s production capability to 500 MW. Solyndra is focused on the commercial rooftop photovoltaic opportunity. The registration statement states that according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, or NREL, cumulative rooftop photovoltaic system installations in the United States alone are projected to grow from 733 MW in 2007 to 7,492 MW in 2015, representing a compound annual growth rate of 34.0%. On June 18, 2010, Solyndra requested a withdrawal of its IPO registration statement and opted to raise $175 million by selling convertible promissory notes to existing investors. According to Reuters, an international multimedia news agency, on June 18, 2010, the CEO of Solyndra stated that by the fourth quarter of 2011, Solyndra expects annualized production to exceed 300 MW.

Government Stockpiling

In December 2008, The State Reserve Bureau of China (“SRB”) purchased 30 metric tons of indium ingots from Huludao Zinc Industry for a strategic stockpile. Most traders and producers believe that the SRB plans to continue stockpiling additional indium ingot in the future, although the exact tonnage is uncertain.

In 2006, the South Korean government announced plans to launch a stockpile of thirteen rare metals and ferroalloys. Indium was on their list. In May 2009, Platts reported that South Korea’s Public Procurement Service purchased at least 5 metric tons of indium from Korea Zinc.

In June 2009, Metal Bulletin Ltd. reported that the Japanese government plans to purchase 60 metric tons of refined indium from its own domestic companies through a public tender. In May 2009, Platts reported that a Japanese official from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry stated that the Japanese government plans to stockpile indium and gallium for the first time. The Ministry has requested a 200 million Yen ($2 million) supplementary budget for stockpiling, some of which would be used to purchase indium and gallium according to an official in charge of the country’s stockpiling policy. The second supplementary budget,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

which includes the 200 million Yen stockpiling allowance, is currently before the Parliament. There are no official reports stating whether or not the Japanese government has purchased any indium as of December 1, 2010.

As recently as 2002, the National Defense Stockpile Center (“DNSC”) of the United States operating under the authority of the Strategic and Critical Stock Piling Act (50 U.S.C. 98-h-2 (a)) held 35,000 ounces of indium. The DNSC has liquidated that stockpile.

Governmental Regulation

General Description

There are no governmental regulations which will directly impact our intended operation of purchasing and lending indium. We intend to use standard industry commercial terms recognized by industry participants in connection with the storage and shipment of indium. A representative sample of such terms are listed below.

Purity.   The recognized industry wide standard purity level is 99.99%.

Price.   All purchases and sales of indium are individually negotiated. There is no fixed price ratio between 3N7, 4N or 5N material in the indium industry. Typically, in a regular indium market, balanced supply and demand, the higher the purity of the indium, the more it costs. 4N indium is slightly more expensive than 3N7. 5N is slightly more expensive than 4N. In a declining indium market, the price of 3N7 purity indium is often quoted at an even greater discount to indium with purities of 4N or 5N. In some cases, the prices may be as much as 2.0% to 5.0% lower. Typically, when the price of indium is appreciating, there is often no difference in the price of 3N7 purity indium compared to 4N or 5N purity metal.

Form.   Indium Metal, 3N7 grade, Type 1 or Type 2, is received for storage in the form of ingots which have a uniform trapezoidal shape or uniform rectangular shape with square or rounded edges. The top and bottom surfaces are relatively flat and parallel.

Surface Characteristics.   Indium is a silvery white metal with a bluish cast. Surfaces of the ingot are clean and free of dirt, grease, oil, cleaning residues, etc.

Dimensions.   Nominal ingot dimensions are listed below for the two types of Indium.

		Weight		Length		Width		Height
Type 1		100 tr. oz (3.11 kg)		8.50 in./ 215.9 mm		3.25 in./ 82.5 mm		1.25 in./ 31.75 mm
Type 2		10 kg		340/345 mm (bottom/top)		85/95 mm (bottom/top)		45 mm

Production Lot Size.   Each ingot shall be traceable to the refining lot or melt from which it was produced.

Packaging

Ingots.   Ingots in a production lot shall be individually wrapped in a new, clean, transparent polyethylene bag which has a minimum thickness of 0.004 inches (4 mm). Both ends of the bag shall be closed by heat sealing.

Boxes.   Each box from the supplier shall contain either a maximum of twenty 100 tr. oz ingots or six 10 kg ingots with a total net weight of approximately 63 kg (2,000 tr. oz).

Marking

Ingot.   Each ingot in a refining lot or melt shall be permanently marked or stamped with identification information.

Boxes.   Sufficient aluminum tags shall be affixed to each box and shall be marked with identification information.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Storage

Indium ingots shall be stored indoors, in a vault or vault like area of a warehouse which has been equipped with fire prevention sprinklers. Storage identity shall be maintained by contract and production lot number as indicated on each box and in shipping instructions.

Security

Eight seals shall be affixed through holes bored in the top and bottom corners of the box to maintain the integrity of the box contents. Entry into vault areas for the purpose of shipments, inventory or qualitative maintenance inspections will be documented by use of logs and/or custodial reports.

Our Manager will be responsible for conducting limited inspections of the indium delivered to us. Our Manager will not be responsible for conducting any chemical assays or other tests designed to verify that such indium meets the 99.99% purity requirements referred to in our prospectus. Our Manager will be responsible for ensuring that the contracted third-party storage facilities it utilizes conducts visual inspections, spot checks and hires independent labs to randomly assay, at our expense, the indium delivered to us to verify that such indium meets the minimum 99.99% purity requirements referred to in our prospectus. The third-party storage facility must also confirm the deliveries match the supplier packing lists. Our Manager will rely to a certain degree on the good faith of its suppliers to provide indium that meets our requirements. Regular industry suppliers of indium mark each ingot with grade and ingot number. Boxes of ingots are marked with lot identification. Indium comes delivered with a certificate of analysis in sealed heavy duty boxes. There is a chain of authenticity that our Manager will rely upon. If the Manager purchases indium from a company that is not known to be a regular indium industry supplier, then at the Manager’s discretion, it may hire, at our expense, an independent lab to perform random assay tests using glow-discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS) to verify the purity of the indium. This would be done prior to taking delivery of the said lots. Depending on the lot size, we might take a sample of indium from random ingots to be tested for purity. This would minimize our risk in taking delivery of an entire shipment of lower grade indium. The Manager does not intend to certify known indium industry refiners. Indium in transit will be insured regardless from whom it is purchased. We anticipate that disputes or disagreements will be resolved by arbitration.

Board of Directors

Board Composition

Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors. We currently have seven directors. In accordance with our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, immediately upon the closing of this offering, our board of directors will be divided into two classes with staggered two-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders commencing with the meeting in 2010, the successors to the directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve until the second annual meeting following the election. The term of office of the first class of directors, Class I, consisting of Mark Neuhof, Fred Arena, William C. Martin and P.J. Richardson, will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders immediately following the initial classification of the board of directors. The term of office of the second class of directors, Class II, consisting of Alan Benjamin, Richard Biele and Ailon Z. Grushkin, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders immediately following the initial classification of the board of directors.

Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the two classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors.

Director Independence

MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT

We will enter into an amended and restated Management Services Agreement with the Manager prior to the consummation of this offering. The primary responsibilities of the Manager under the Management Services Agreement will be to:

(i) use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for, and complete, for and on our behalf through industry-standard tenders, the purchase and sale of indium at the best available prices available over a prudent period of time as may be requested by our board of directors from time to time;

(ii) provide to our board of directors delivery and payment particulars in respect of each purchase and sale of indium;

(iii) arrange for the storage of our indium, including arrangements regarding indemnities or insurance in our favor for the loss of such indium in accordance with industry practices;

(iv) on bi-weekly basis, prepare a report on the NMV of each share of our common stock. The NMV is a non-GAAP term which shall be determined by multiplying the number of kilograms of indium held by or for us by the last spot price for indium published by Metal Bulletin posted on Bloomberg L.P., plus cash and any of our other assets, less any and all of our outstanding payables, indebtedness and any other liabilities, divided by the total number of outstanding Common Shares. Such report, and the last spot price of indium as published by Metal Bulletin and the quantity of indium we hold in inventory will be made available to us and our board of directors and published on our website bi-weekly;

(v) prepare regulatory filing materials, reports to our stockholders, and other reports to our board of directors as may be reasonably requested from time to time;

(vi) furnish office facilities, services and supplies and generally oversee with its staff and independent contractors, our management; and

(vii) generally manage our business and affairs.

Our Manager has agreed to manage our activities in accordance with reasonable and prudent practices and may delegate, with the approval of our board of directors and at its own cost, any of its duties or obligations under the Management Services Agreement to any third-party.

All purchases and sales of indium will be completed by the Manager in its discretion for and on our behalf. The Manager will typically purchase or sell indium in the form of a tender for an offer to sell or buy indium, whichever the case may be. Such purchases are usually in the form of a tender, which will stipulate the quantity to be purchased or sold, delivery particulars and payment particulars, but not price. Typical purchasers or sellers of indium include, but are not limited to, Huludao Zinc Industry Co. of China, Liuzhou China Tin Group, Jianxi Copper Co., Zhuzhou Smelter Group Co., Ltd., Nanjing Foreign Economic & Trade Development Co., Ltd., Nanjing Sanyou Electronic Materials Co., Ltd., Huludao Nonferrous Metals (Group) I/E Co., Ltd., Nanjing Germanium Co., Ltd., Xiangten Zhengtan Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd., Guangxi Intai Technology Co., Ltd., Hunan Jingshi Group, Laibin Debang Industry and Trade Co., Ltd., Tianjin Indium Products Co. Ltd., Shaoguan Huali Industrial Co., Ltd., Zhuzhou Keneng New Materials Co., Ltd., Guangdong Shixing Star Source Metals, Guanxi Debang Industry, Shaoguan Jinyuan Industrial Co. Ltd., Li Ying, Zhaoqing Jinchang, Zhozhou Sinotech Special Metals Co. Ltd., Hsikuangshan Twinkling Star, Teck Resources Limited, Xstrata Plc, Indium Corporation of America, Umicore Indium Products, Dowa Electronics Materials Co., Unionmet (Singapore) Limited, Aim Specialty Materials, Glencore International AG, Wogen PLC, RJH Trading Ltd., MCP Metal Specialties, Hudson Metals Corporation, Traxys North America LLC, AU Optronics, Chi Mei Optoelectronics, Chunghwa Picture Tubes, HannStar Display Co., Innolux, LG Phillips LCD, Quanta Display Inc., Samsung Electronics, Sharp Corp., and Sony Corp. There is no public market through which these purchases and sales may occur and accordingly all such purchase and sale transactions are private. The pool of potential purchasers and sellers is limited and each transaction may require the negotiation of specific provisions. Accordingly, a purchase or sell cycle pursuant to a tender may take several months to complete. Since all purchases are confidential, we, including our Manager, may not be able to publicly disclose any vendor from which we would potentially purchase indium or any seller to which we may sell indium.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The amended and restated Management Services Agreement shall have an initial term of five years (the “Initial Term”). After the Initial Term, the Management Services Agreement may be renewed on terms mutually acceptable to each party and may be terminated by the mutual consent of both parties upon the provision of 90 days prior written notice. The Management Services Agreement shall terminate immediately upon completion of a winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, sale of assets, sale of business or insolvency proceeding. We may terminate the Management Services Agreement at any time if the Manager breaches any of its material obligations thereunder and such breach has not been cured within 90 days following notice thereof from us to the Manager. If the Manager is terminated by us (other than for cause) or the Manager terminates the Management Services Agreement, then the Manager shall receive that portion of the Management Fee payable to the effective date of termination plus an additional amount equal to: (i) one year’s Management Fee calculated based upon (y) an average of the Company’s monthly NMV over the previous twelve (12) month period prior to termination (z) multiplied by twelve (12); or (ii) in the event that the Management Services Agreement is terminated prior to twelve (12) months of service, the Manager shall be entitled to an additional Management Fee calculated based upon (y) an average of the Company’s monthly NMV over the previous months of service (z) multiplied by the number of months of service. However, if the Manager is terminated by us for cause, no further payments of the Management Fee shall be paid after the effectiveness of termination is given by the Board of Directors to the Manager.

We acknowledge that our Manager shall not be responsible, and agree to indemnify our Manager, for any loss of opportunity whereby the value of any of our assets or the value of any particular indium, monetary or currency investment could have been increased, nor shall it be responsible for any decline in value of any of our assets unless such decline is the result of the Manager’s gross negligence or willful failure to comply with express directions given by resolution of either our board of directors or our Common Shareholders. Further, we agree to indemnify our Manager against any losses, claims liabilities and costs, whether or not in connection with litigation in which our Manager is a party, as incurred, directly or indirectly caused by or relating to any work performed by the Manager in connection with the amended and restated Management Services Agreement.

We will be responsible for paying all costs and expenses incurred in connection with its business except those that are expressly to be borne by our Manager as set out therein. Such costs and expenses to be borne by us will include, without limitation: (i) brokerage and trading commissions; (ii) fees associated with the performance of assay testing by independent laboratories; (iii) transportation costs, insurance fees and commissions, security services costs, and other charges arising upon the holding, purchase or sale of indium or our other assets; (iv) legal and audit fees; (v) corporate finance offering costs; (vi) fees payable for listings, the maintenance of listings and filings or other requirements of stock exchanges on which any of our securities are listed or quoted; (vii) the cost of printing and mailing financial reports and material for Common Shareholders’ meetings, valuations, reporting to Common Shareholders, securities regulatory filings and any other purposes required by law; (viii) fees payable to any registrar and transfer agent of the Common Shares or our other securities; (ix) our directors’ fees and expenses; (x) the Manager’s fees payable under the Management Services Agreement; (xi) all taxes (including income, capital and sales taxes) and (xii) all other fees and expenses related to running and operating our company, unless specifically excluded under the Management Services Agreement.

Our estimated annual expenses are anticipated to be approximately $1,700,000 in the aggregate, include: (i) storage and holding of indium — $115,000; (ii) insurance — $60,000; (iii) shareholder communications and relations and maintaining the effectiveness of our registration statement for the shares of common stock underlying our public warrants — $150,000; (iv) the annual Manager’s fee — $1,050,000; (v) director and officer liability insurance premiums and director fees — $150,000; and (vi) other/administrative expenses including legal and accounting — $175,000.

In consideration of the Manager carrying out its duties and obligations under the terms of the Management Services Agreement, we shall pay to the Manager a fee equal to 2.0% per annum of our NMV (the “Management Fee”). We and our Manager subjectively determined that two percent per annum of our NMV is the minimum compensation required for the Manager to assume the risk involved with overseeing our Company, executing the strategy, and annual time required to be spent managing our affairs. The Management Fee shall be payable on or before the 10 ^th day following the end of each such month. For such

TABLE OF CONTENTS

purposes, the Management Fee shall be determined by (x) our total assets as at the valuation date, valued by multiplying the number of kilograms of indium held by or for us by the last spot price for indium published by Metal Bulletin as posted on Bloomberg L.P., plus cash and any of our other assets, less any and all of our outstanding payables, indebtedness or any other liabilities (y) multiplied by 1/6 ^th of one (1.0%) percent. Our independent board of directors will have the express authority to engage a third-party for the purpose of conducting an independent valuation or audit of our assets.

Under the terms of the Management Services Agreement, the Manager shall incur no liability for any action except for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of the Management Services Agreement.

2008 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan

In connection with the commencement of our initial public offering, our board of directors adopted and our stockholders approved the plan in its entirety in January 2008. Under this plan, we may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options restricted and unrestricted stock awards and other stock-based awards. A maximum of 550,000 shares of common stock has been reserved for issuance under this plan. In 2008, we granted 8,333 options to purchase common stock to each of our three independent directors, Mssrs. Richardson, Arena and Neuhof and 50,000 options to our Chief Financial Officer. The option grants will be exercisable at $7.50 per share and are exercisable subsequent to completion of this offering. In 2010, we granted 5,000 options to purchase common stock to each of our four independent directors,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Mssrs. Richardson, Arena, Neuhof and Martin and 30,000 options to our Chief Financial Officer. The option grants will be exercisable at $4.50 per share and are exercisable subsequent to completion of this offering. The plan expires on January 31, 2018. On July 7, 2010, our board of directors authorized an increase from 550,000 shares of common stock to 1,000,000 shares of common stock to be reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2008 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. Prior to the consummation of this offering, such increase will be submitted to shareholders for their approval.

Our board of directors has authorized our compensation committee to administer our plan. In connection with the administration of our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, the compensation committee, with respect to awards to be made to any person who is not one of our directors, will:

With respect to stock options or restricted stock awards to be made to any of our directors, the Compensation Committee will make recommendations to our board of directors as to:

Any grant of awards to any of directors under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan must be approved by our board of directors.

In addition, the compensation committee will:

Types of Awards

Our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan permits the Compensation Committee to grant the following types of awards.

Stock Options.   Stock options are contractual rights entitling an optionee who has been granted a stock option to purchase a stated number of shares of our common stock at an exercise price per share determined at the date of the grant. Options are evidenced by stock option agreements with the respective optionees. The exercise price for each stock option granted under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan will be determined by our board of directors or the Compensation Committee at the time of the grant, but will not be less than fair market value on the date of the grant. Our board of directors or a committee of the Board will also determine the duration of each option; however, no option may be exercisable more than ten years after the date the option is granted. Within the foregoing limitations, the board of directors or committee of the Board may, in its discretion, impose limitations on exercise of all or some options granted under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, such as specifying minimum periods of time after grant during which options may not be exercised. Options granted under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan will vest at rates specified in the option agreement at the time of grant; however, all options granted under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan will vest upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. Our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan also contains provisions for our board of directors or a committee of the Board to provide in the participants’ option award agreements for

TABLE OF CONTENTS

accelerating the right of an individual employee to exercise his or her stock option or restricted stock award in the event of retirement or other termination of employment. No cash consideration is payable to us in exchange for the grant of options.

Our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan provides that the stock options may either be Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Non-Qualified Options, which are stock options other than Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of Sections 422 of the Code. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to our employees or employees of our subsidiaries, and must be granted at a per share option price not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a stockholder who owns shares of our outstanding stock of all classes representing more than 10.0% of the total combined voting power of all of our outstanding stock of all classes entitled to vote in the election of directors, the per share option price must be not less than 110.0% of the fair market value of one share of our common stock on the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted and the term of such option may not exceed five years. As required by the Code, the aggregate fair market value, determined at the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted, of our common stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options may be exercised by an optionee for the first time during any calendar year under all of our incentive stock option plans may not exceed $100,000.

The exercise price for Non-Qualified Options may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date the Non-Qualified Option is granted. Non-Qualified Options are not subject to any of the restrictions described above with respect to Incentive Stock Options. The exercise price of stock options may be paid in cash, in whole shares of our common stock, in a combination of cash and our common stock, or in such other form of consideration as our board of directors or the committee of the Board may determine, equal in value to the exercise price. However, only shares of our common stock which the option holder has held for at least six months on the date of the exercise may be surrendered in payment of the exercise price for the options. In no event may a stock option be exercised after the expiration of its stated term.

Stock Appreciation Rights.   A stock appreciation right permits the grantee to receive an amount (in cash, common stock, or a combination thereof) equal to the number of stock appreciation rights exercised by the grantee multiplied by the excess of the fair market value of our common stock on the exercise date over the stock appreciation rights’ exercise price. Stock appreciation rights may or may not be granted in connection with the grant of an option. The exercise price of stock appreciation rights granted under the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan will be determined by the board of directors or a committee of the Board; provided, however, that such exercise price cannot be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on a date the stock appreciation right is granted (subject to adjustments). A stock appreciation right may be exercised in whole or in such installments and at such times as determined by the board of directors or a committee of the Board.

Restricted Stock.   Restricted shares of our common stock may be granted under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan subject to such terms and conditions, including forfeiture and vesting provisions, and restrictions against sale, transfer or other disposition as the board of directors or a committee of the Board may determine to be appropriate at the time of making the award. In addition, the board of directors or a committee of the Board may direct that share certificates representing restricted stock be inscribed with a legend as to the restrictions on sale, transfer or other disposition, and may direct that the certificates, along with a stock power signed in blank by the grantee, be delivered to and held by us until such restrictions lapse. The board of directors or a committee of the Board, in its discretion, may provide in the award agreement for a modification or acceleration of shares of restricted stock in the event of permanent disability, retirement or other termination of employment or business relationship with the grantee.

Performance Units.   The Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan permits grants of performance units, which are rights to receive cash payments equal to the difference (if any) between the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and its fair market value on the date of exercise of the award, except to the extent otherwise provided by the board of directors or a committee of the Board or required by law. Such awards are subject to the fulfillment of conditions that may be established by the board of directors or a

TABLE OF CONTENTS

committee of the Board including, without limitation, the achievement of performance targets based upon the factors described above relating to restricted stock awards.

Performance Bonus.   The Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan permits grants of performance bonuses, which may be paid in cash, common stock or combination thereof as determined by the board of directors or a committee of the Board. The maximum value of performance bonus awards granted under the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan shall be established by the compensation committee at the time of the grant. An employee’s receipt of such amount will be contingent upon achievement of performance targets during the performance period established by the compensation committee. The performance targets will be determined by the board of directors or a committee of the Board based upon the factors described above relating to restricted stock awards. Following the end of the performance period, the board of directors or a committee of the Board will determine the achievement of the performance targets for such performance period. Payment may be made within 60 days of such determination. Any payment made in shares of common stock will be based upon the fair market value of the common stock on the payment date.

Transferability

With the exception of Non-Qualified Stock Options, awards are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Non-Qualified Stock Options are transferable on a limited basis. Restricted stock awards are not transferable during the restriction period.

Change of Control Event

The Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan provides that in the event of a change of control event the Board shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent to accelerate the vesting, exercise or payment of an Award.

Termination of Employment/Relationship

Awards granted under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan that have not vested will generally terminate immediately upon the grantee’s termination of employment or business relationship with us or any of our subsidiaries for any reason other than retirement with our consent, disability or death. The board of directors or a committee of the Board may determine at the time of the grant that an award agreement should contain provisions permitting the grantee to exercise the stock options for any stated period after such termination, or for any period the board of directors or a committee of the Board determines to be advisable after the grantee’s employment or business relationship with us terminates by reason of retirement, disability, death or termination without cause. Incentive Stock Options will, however, terminate no more than three months after termination of the optionee’s employment, twelve months after termination of the optionee’s employment due to disability and three years after termination of the optionee’s employment due to death. The board of directors or a committee of the Board may permit a deceased optionee’s stock options to be exercised by the optionee’s executor or heirs during a period acceptable to the board of directors or a committee of the board following the date of the optionee’s death but such exercise must occur prior to the expiration date of the stock option.

Dilution; Substitution

As described above, our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan will provide protection against substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to holders of awards in the event of stock splits, recapitalizations, asset acquisitions, consolidations, reorganizations or similar transactions. New award rights may, but need not, be substituted for the awards granted under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, or our obligations with respect to awards outstanding under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan may, but need not, be assumed by another corporation in connection with any asset acquisition, consolidation, acquisition, separation, reorganization, sale or distribution of assets, liquidation or like occurrence in which we are involved. In the event that our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan is assumed, the stock issuable with respect to awards previously granted under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan shall thereafter include the stock of the corporation granting such new option rights or assuming our obligations under the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Amendment of the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan

Our Board may amend our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan at any time. However, without stockholder approval, our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan may not be amended in a manner that would:

Awards previously granted under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan may not be impaired or affected by any amendment of our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, without the consent of the affected grantees.

Accounting Treatment

Under generally accepted accounting principles with respect to the financial accounting treatment of stock options used to compensate employees, upon the grant of stock options under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, the fair value of the options will be measured on the date of grant and this amount will be recognized as a compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. Stock appreciation rights granted under the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan must be settled in common stock. Therefore, stock appreciation rights granted under the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan will receive the same accounting treatment as options. The cash we receive upon the exercise of stock options will be reflected as an increase in our capital. No additional compensation expense will be recognized at the time stock options are exercised, although the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise may reduce basic earnings per share, as more shares of our common stock would then be outstanding.

When we make a grant of restricted stock, the fair value of the restricted stock award at the date of grant will be determined and this amount will be recognized over the vesting period of the award. The fair value of a restricted stock award is equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

Due to consideration of the accounting treatment of stock options and restricted stock awards by various regulatory bodies, it is possible that the present accounting treatment may change.

Tax Treatment

The following is a brief description of the federal income tax consequences, under existing law, with respect to awards that may be granted under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan.

Incentive Stock Options.   An optionee will not realize any taxable income upon the grant or the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. However, the amount by which the fair market value of the shares covered by the Incentive Stock Option (on the date of exercise) exceeds the option price paid will be an item of tax preference to which the alternative minimum tax may apply, depending on each optionee’s individual circumstances. If the optionee does not dispose of the shares of our common stock acquired by exercising an Incentive Stock Option within two years from the date of the grant of the Incentive Stock Option or within one year after the shares are transferred to the optionee, when the optionee later sells or otherwise disposes of the stock, any amount realized by the optionee in excess of the option price will be taxed as a long-term capital gain and any loss will be recognized as a long-term capital loss. We generally will not be entitled to an income tax deduction with respect to the grant or exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.

If any shares of our common stock acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option are resold or disposed of before the expiration of the prescribed holding periods, the optionee would realize ordinary income, instead of capital gain. The amount of the ordinary income realized would be equal to the lesser of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(i) the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the exercise date over the option price; or (ii) in the case of a taxable sale or exchange, the amount of the gain realized. Any additional gain would be either long-term or short-term capital gain, depending on whether the applicable capital gain holding period has been satisfied. In the event of a premature disposition of shares of stock acquired by exercising an Incentive Stock Option, we would be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income realized by the optionee.

Non-Qualified Options.   An optionee will not realize any taxable income upon the grant of a Non-Qualified Option. At the time the optionee exercises the Non-Qualified Option, the amount by which the fair market value at the time of exercise of the shares covered by the Non-Qualified Option exceeds the option price paid upon exercise will constitute ordinary income to the optionee in the year of such exercise. We will be entitled to a corresponding income tax deduction in the year of exercise equal to the ordinary income recognized by the optionee. If the optionee thereafter sells such shares, the difference between any amount realized on the sale and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise will be taxed to the optionee as capital gain or loss, short- or long-term depending on the length of time the stock was held by the optionee before sale.

Stock Appreciation Rights.   A participant realizes no taxable income and we are not entitled to a deduction when a stock appreciation right is granted. Upon exercising a stock appreciation right, a participant will realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received minus any amount paid for the shares, and we will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. A participant’s tax basis in the shares of common stock received upon exercise of a stock appreciation right will be equal to the fair market value of such shares on the exercise date, and the participant’s holding period for such shares will begin at that time. Upon sale of the shares of common stock received upon exercise of a stock appreciation right, the participant will realize short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending upon whether the shares have been held for more than one year. The amount of such gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the amount realized in connection with the sale of the shares, and the participant’s tax basis in such shares.

Restricted Stock Award.   A recipient of restricted stock generally will not recognize any taxable income until the shares of restricted stock become freely transferable or are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. At that time, the excess of the fair market value of the restricted stock over the amount, if any, paid for the restricted stock is taxable to the recipient as ordinary income. If a recipient of restricted stock subsequently sells the shares, he or she generally will realize capital gain or loss in the year of such sale in an amount equal to the difference between the net proceeds from the sale and the price paid for the stock, if any, plus the amount previously included in income as ordinary income with respect to such restricted shares.

A recipient has the opportunity, within certain limits, to fix the amount and timing of the taxable income attributable to a grant of restricted stock. Section 83(b) of the Code permits a recipient of restricted stock, which is not yet required to be included in taxable income, to elect, within 30 days of the award of restricted stock, to include in income immediately the difference between the fair market value of the shares of restricted stock at the date of the award and the amount paid for the restricted stock, if any. The election permits the recipient of restricted stock to fix the amount of income that must be recognized by virtue of the restricted stock grant. We will be entitled to a deduction in the year the recipient is required (or elects) to recognize income by virtue of receipt of restricted stock, equal to the amount of taxable income recognized by the recipient.

Performance Units and Performance Bonuses.   A participant realizes no taxable income and we are not entitled to a deduction when performance units or performance bonuses are awarded. When the performance units or performance bonuses vest and become payable upon the achievement of the performance objectives, the participant will realize ordinary income equal to the amount of cash received or the fair market value of the shares received minus any amount paid for the shares, and we will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. A participant’s tax basis in shares of common stock received upon payment will be equal to the fair market value of such shares when the participant receives them. Upon sale of the shares, the participant will realize short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending upon whether the shares have been held for more than one year at the time of sale. Such gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale of the shares and the tax basis of the shares in the participant’s hands.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) of the Code precludes a public corporation from taking a deduction for annual compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to its chief executive officer or any of its four other highest-paid officers. However, compensation that qualifies under Section 162(m) of the Code as “performance-based” is specifically exempt from the deduction limit. Based on Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, our ability to deduct compensation income generated in connection with the exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights granted under the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan should not be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code. Further, we believe that compensation income generated in connection with performance awards granted under the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan should not be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code. The Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan has been designed to provide flexibility with respect to whether restricted stock awards or performance bonuses will qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code and, therefore, be exempt from the deduction limit. If the vesting restrictions relating to any such award are based solely upon the satisfaction of one of the performance goals set forth in the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, then we believe that the compensation expense relating to such an award will be deductible by us if the awards become vested. However, compensation expense deductions relating to such awards will be subject to the Section 162(m) deduction limitation if such awards become vested based upon any other criteria set forth in such award (such as the occurrence of a change in control or vesting based upon continued employment with us).

Certain Awards Deferring or Accelerating the Receipt of Compensation. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, imposes certain new requirements applicable to “nonqualified deferred compensation plans.” If a nonqualified deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A fails to meet, or is not operated in accordance with, these new requirements, then all compensation deferred under the plan may become immediately taxable. Stock appreciation rights and deferred stock awards which may be granted under the plan may constitute deferred compensation subject to the Section 409A requirements. It is our intention that any award agreement governing awards subject to Section 409A will comply with these new rules.

Limitation of Directors’ Liability and Indemnification

The Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate, subject to certain conditions, the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties. Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, limits the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

We will have in place, upon effectiveness of this offering, director and officer liability insurance to cover liabilities our directors and officers may occur in connection with their services to us, including matters arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws also provide that we will indemnify any of our directors and officers who, by reason of the fact that he or she is one of our officers or directors, is involved in a legal proceeding of any nature. In addition, we expect to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. We expect that, under these agreements, we will repay certain expenses incurred by a director or officer in connection with any civil or criminal action or proceeding, specifically including actions by us or in our name (derivative suits). Such indemnifiable expenses would include, to the maximum extent permitted by law, attorney’s fees, judgments, civil or criminal fines, settlement amounts and other expenses customarily incurred in connection with legal proceedings. A director or officer would not receive indemnification if he or she is found not to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interest.

Such limitation of liability and indemnification does not affect the availability of equitable remedies. In addition, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents in which indemnification will be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for such indemnification.

Class A Common Stock

Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, and do not have cumulative voting rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, holders of Class A common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividend payments. All outstanding shares of Class A common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. The Class A common stock shall automatically convert into 1,396,320 shares of common stock upon completion of this offering. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A common stock. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs, holders of Class A common stock will be entitled to share ratably in our assets that are remaining after payment or provision for payment of all of our debts and obligations and after liquidation payments to holders of outstanding shares of preferred stock, if any.

Preferred Stock

The preferred stock has priority over the common stock with respect to dividends and other distributions, including the distribution of assets upon liquidation. Our board of directors has the authority, without further stockholder authorization, to issue from time to time shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the terms, limitations, relative rights and preferences and variations of each series. Although we have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock, the issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock, could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the common stock, and could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of us or an unsolicited acquisition proposal.

Options

As of the date hereof, we have issued options to purchase an aggregate of 155,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share to our Manager in connection with the 2009 Private Placement. Further, upon the successful completion of this offering, the promissory notes payable to the Manager in the principal amount of $265,000 plus accrued but unpaid interest, will automatically convert into 150,000 options to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share. Further, upon the successful completion of this offering, 75,000 common shares held by the Manager will automatically convert into 150,000 options to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share.

As of the date hereof, we have issued options to purchase an aggregate of 579,999 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $4.50 to $7.50 per share pursuant to our 2008 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. Of the total outstanding options, 579,999 of those options were issued to our current directors and officers.

Existing Warrants

In connection with our 2009 Private Placement, we issued to investors in the 2009 Private Placement warrants to purchase 1,163,600 shares of common stock. These warrants are exercisable for five years to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.75 per share. The investors in the 2009 Private Placement will enter into lock-up agreements with respect to their warrants for a period of six months commencing on the closing of this offering In connection with its services as placement agent for the 2009 Private Placement, Andrew Garrett Inc. and Sunrise Securities received warrants to purchase 16,500 and 21,300 shares of common stock, respectively. These warrants may be exercised at $5.75 per share for five years after issuance. Additional warrants to purchase 232,720 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.75 per share shall be issued to the 2009 Private Placement investors upon completion of this offering.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the foregoing warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of any stock split or dividend. These warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the Company with the exercise form included with the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock, including any voting rights,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon exercise of these warrants. If, upon exercise of the Existing Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round the number of shares issuable to the nearest whole share.

Public Warrants

Each warrant included in the units entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $5.75 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration statement. The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on [  ], 2011, [five years from the date of this prospectus] or earlier upon redemption.

The warrants may trade separately on the 90 ^th day after the date of this prospectus unless the representatives of the underwriters determines that an earlier date is acceptable, based upon its assessment of the relative strengths of the securities markets and small capitalization companies in general, and the trading pattern of, and demand for, our securities in particular. In no event will the representatives of the underwriters allow separate trading of the common stock and warrants until the underwriters’ over-allotment option has either expired or been exercised.

We may call the warrants for redemption (including any warrants issued upon exercise of the unit purchase option) at any time after [  ], 2011 [six months from the date of this prospectus] :

In addition, we may not redeem the warrants unless the warrants comprising the units sold in this offering and the shares of common stock underlying those warrants are covered by an effective registration statement from the beginning of the measurement period through the date fixed for the redemption.

We have established these criteria to provide warrant holders with a reasonable premium to the initial warrant exercise price as well as a degree of liquidity to cushion against a negative market reaction, if any, to our redemption call. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we call the warrants for redemption, each warrant holder will then be entitled to exercise his or her warrant prior to the date scheduled for redemption, however, there can be no assurance that the price of the common stock will exceed the call trigger price or the warrant exercise price after the redemption call is made.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the transfer agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

No warrants will be exercisable unless at the time of exercise a prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the common stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, we have agreed to use our best efforts to maintain a current prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. If we are unable to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the expiration of the warrants, and therefore are unable to deliver registered shares of common stock, the warrants may become worthless. Additionally, the market for the warrants may be limited if the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the common stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside. In no event will the registered holders of a warrant be entitled to receive a net-cash settlement, stock, or other consideration in lieu of physical settlement in shares of our common stock.

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

Purchase Option

We have agreed to issue to the representatives of the underwriters an option to purchase up to a total of 500,000 units at $5.50 per unit. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to those offered by this prospectus, except as described in more detail, including the registration rights afforded to the holders of such option, in the section appearing elsewhere in this prospectus entitled “Underwriting — Purchase Option.”

Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. The payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of our then board of directors. It is the present intention of our board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, our board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. Further our ability to declare dividends may be limited to restrictive covenants if we incur any indebtedness.

Delaware Law and Certain Charter and Bylaw Provisions

The provisions of (1) Delaware law, (2) our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and (3) our bylaws could discourage or make it more difficult to accomplish a proxy contest or other change in our management or the acquisition of control by a holder of a substantial amount of our voting stock. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish, or could deter, transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interests or our best interests. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by the board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control of us. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions also are intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. Such provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management.

Delaware Statutory Business Combinations Provision.   We are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporations Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. For purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” is defined broadly to include a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and, subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with his or her affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior, did own) 15.0% or more of the corporation’s voting stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Classified Board of Directors.   Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, provides that our board of directors will be divided into two classes as nearly equal in number as possible. Each year the stockholders will elect the members of one of the two classes to a two-year term of office. All directors elected to our classified board of directors will serve until the election and qualification of their respective successors or their earlier resignation or removal. Our board of directors is authorized to create new directorships and to fill such positions so created and is permitted to specify the class to which any such new position is assigned. The person filling such position would serve for the term applicable to that class. Our board of directors (or its remaining members, even if less than a quorum) is also empowered to fill vacancies on the board of directors occurring for any reason for the remainder of the term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred. Members of our board of directors may only be removed for cause. These provisions are likely to increase the time required for stockholders to change the composition of our board of directors. For example, in general, at least two annual meetings will be necessary for stockholders to effect a change in a majority of the members of our board of directors.

Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Proposals.   For an annual or special meeting, a stockholder’s notice generally must be delivered not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the meeting.

Special Meetings of Stockholders.   Special meetings of the stockholders may be called by our board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors, or by such persons or persons as may be authorized by the certificate of incorporation, as amended, or the by-laws.

Super-Majority Stockholder Vote required for Certain Actions.   The Delaware General Corporation Law provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage.

UNDERWRITING

Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, the underwriters named below have severally agreed to purchase from us on a firm commitment basis the following respective number of units at a public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus:

Underwriters		Number of Units
Sunrise Securities Corp.
Rodman & Renshaw, LLC
Total			10,000,000

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligation of the underwriters to purchase all of the 10,000,000 units being offered to the public is subject to specific conditions, including the absence of any material adverse change in our business or in the financial markets and the receipt of certain legal opinions, certificates and letters from us, our counsel and the independent auditors. Subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, the underwriters will purchase all of the 10,000,000 units being offered to the public, other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below, if any of these units are purchased.

We have been advised by the representatives of the underwriters that the underwriters propose to offer the units to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus and to dealers at a price that represents a concession not in excess of $ per unit under the public offering price of $5.00 per unit. The underwriters may allow, and these dealers may re-allow, a concession of not more than $ per unit to other dealers. After the initial public offering, the representatives of the underwriters may change the offering price and other selling terms.

We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable not later than 45 days after the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional units at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover of this prospectus. The underwriters may exercise this option only to cover over-allotments made in connection with the sale of the units offered by this prospectus. The over-allotment option will only be used to cover the net syndicate short position resulting from the initial distribution. To the extent that the underwriters exercise this option, each of the underwriters will become obligated, subject to conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage of these additional units as the number of units to be purchased by it in the above table bears to the total number of units offered by this prospectus. We will be obligated, pursuant to the option, to sell these additional units to the underwriters to the extent the option is exercised. If any additional units are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional units on the same terms as those on which the other units are being offered hereunder.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Commission and Expenses

The underwriting discounts and commissions are 5.0% of the initial public offering price. We have agreed to pay the underwriters the discounts and commissions set forth below, assuming either no exercise or full exercise by the underwriters of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

Purchase Option

We have agreed to issue to the representatives of the underwriters, at the closing of this offering, an option to purchase up to a total of 500,000 units. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to those offered by this prospectus, except that (i) the units are exercisable at a price equal to 110% of the offering price of the units being sold as part of this offering, (ii) subject to certain limited exceptions described below, the units will not be transferable or salable for a period of one year after the date hereof, (iii) the warrants included in the units will be exercisable on a cashless basis, (iv) the warrants included in the units will not be redeemable by us, and (v) the warrants included in the units may be exercised for unregistered shares so long as a registration statement relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective and current. This option is exercisable at $5.50 per unit, commencing one year from the date of this prospectus and expiring four years from the effective date of this registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The option and the 500,000 units, the 500,000 shares of common stock and the 500,000 warrants underlying such units, and the 500,000 shares of common stock underlying such warrants, have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1). The representatives of the underwriters will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate this option or the securities underlying this option, nor will it engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of this option or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days from the effective date of this registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners. Although the purchase option and its underlying securities have been registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the option grants holders two demand and unlimited “piggy back” registration rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective date of this registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. These rights apply to all of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the option. We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the option, other than underwriting commissions incurred and payable by the holders. The exercise price and number of units issuable upon exercise of the option may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The sale of the option will be accounted for as a cost attributable to the proposed offering. Accordingly, there will be no net impact on our financial position or results of operations, except for the recording of the $100 proceeds from the sale.

Directed Unit Program

At our request, the underwriters have reserved up to 500,000 units for sale at the initial public offering price through a directed unit program to persons who are directors, officers or employees, or who are otherwise associated with our corporate stockholder. The number of units available for sale to the public will be reduced by the number of directed units purchased by participants in the program, if any. To the extent the directed units are not purchased pursuant to the directed unit program, the units will be offered by the underwriters to the public on the same basis as all other units. We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities and expenses, including liabilities under the Securities Act, in connection with the sales of the directed units. The intended purchase of 700,000 units in this offering by Raging Capital Fund L.P. and Raging Capital Fund Q.P., L.P. will not be included as part of the directed unit purchase program.

Lock-up Agreements

Our current officers, directors and principal shareholders have agreed, with limited exceptions, to a 12 month “lock-up” period with respect to all of their shares. After the 12 month period from the date of this prospectus, these shares may be sold in the public market, subject to compliance with Rule 144. At any time without notice, the representative of the underwriters may, in their sole discretion, release all or some of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements. The representatives, decision to waiver the lock-up restrictions may be based on market conditions, then-current stock price, the number of shares requested to be waived from the lock-up restrictions, the potential price impact of the release and other factors the selection of which are based on its sole discretion. The underwriter has no present intention to release such lock-ups early.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) during the last 17 days of the lock-up period we release earnings results or material news or a material event relating to us occurs, or (b) prior to the expiration of the lock-up period, we announce that we will release earnings results during the 16-day period following the last day of the lock-up period, the above restrictions shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of the release of the earnings results or the occurrence of the material news or material event.

Pricing of this Offering

Prior to this offering there has been no public market for any of our securities. The public offering price of the units and the terms of the warrants were negotiated between us and the representative. Factors considered in determining the prices and terms of the units, including the common stock and warrants underlying the units, include:

However, although these factors were considered, the determination of our offering price is more arbitrary than the pricing of securities for an operating company in a particular industry since the underwriters are unable to compare our financial results and prospects with those of public companies operating in the same industry.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may distribute prospectuses electronically. No forms of prospectus other than printed prospectuses and electronically distributed prospectuses that are printable in Adobe. PDF format will be used in connection with this offering.

The underwriters have informed us that they do not expect to confirm sales of units offered by this prospectus to accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority without obtaining the specific approval of the account holder.

Price Stabilization and Short Positions

Rules of the SEC may limit the ability of the underwriters to bid for or purchase our securities before the distribution of the securities is completed. The “Restricted Period” under Regulation M for this offering will have ended when (i) all of the Units have been sold, (ii) there are no more selling efforts, (iii) there is no more stabilization, and (iv) the over-allotment option has been exercised or has expired. However, the underwriters may engage in the following activities in accordance with the rules:

Stabilization and syndicate covering transactions may cause the price of the securities to be higher than they would be in the absence of these transactions. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the prices of the securities if it discourages resales of the securities.

Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the prices of the securities. These transactions may occur on the NASDAQ Capital Market or on any trading market. If any of these transactions are commenced, they may be discontinued without notice at any time.

Other Terms

We have agreed to reimburse the underwriters $20,000 for the costs of the investigative search firm that conducted an investigation of our officers and directors and up to $10,000 for the underwriters’ road show expenses.

Although we are not under any contractual obligation to engage any of the underwriters to provide any services for us after this offering, and have no present intent to do so, any of the underwriters may, among other things, assist us in raising additional capital, as needs may arise in the future. If any of the underwriters provide services to us after this offering, we may pay such underwriter fair and reasonable fees that would be determined at that time in an arm’s length negotiation.

We have also agreed that if 12 months or later following the successful completion of the offering, the representatives conduct a solicitation for the exercise of outstanding warrants, we will pay to the representatives a warrant solicitation fee equal to 5.0% of the total proceeds received from the exercise of any and all warrants as a result of such solicitation by the representatives, provided that the representatives are designated as the soliciting broker on the exercise form of the warrant certificate evidencing the warrants so exercised.
