to
increase the demand for and use of our services not only by dealers,
but
also by collectors, only a relatively small percentage of which use
independent authentication or grading services;

collectibles markets.

Increasing
GCAL’s market share by offering services, such as its Gemprint
diamond identification service, that are not available from its
competitors and by implementing marketing programs targeted at sellers

purchasers of diamonds which emphasize the benefits of the GCAL grading
certificate, and the faster turnaround service and the more competitive
pricing of services offered by
GCAL;

Collectors
Universe Invitationals. Since 2001, we have been holding
special “invitation-only” events for our authorized PCGS and PSA dealers.
At those events, dealers have the opportunity to meet and engage
in
collectibles trading with other invited dealers. To facilitate
collectibles trading at these events, we offer same day, on-site
authentication and grading services, enabling the dealers to complete
their transactions while at the invitationals. In fiscal 2007, we
held ten
dealer invitationals.
|
• |
Participation
at Collectibles Trade Shows. Each year we participate in
approximately 50 collectibles trade shows that attract collectibles
dealers and collectors who buy and sell collectibles at those
shows. We offer same day, on-site authentication and grading
services, which facilitate the trading and sales of collectibles
at these
shows and conventions. At the same time, we obtain additional
brand exposure and generate increased revenues, because dealers and
collectors generally are willing to pay higher fees for same day,
on-site
services. In July 2006, we acquired Expos Unlimited LLC
(“Expos”), a tradeshow management company that operates two well-known
coin, stamp and collectibles shows in Long Beach and Santa Clara,
California, respectively. This acquisition assures us of the
continued availability of these two show venues for our authentication
and
grading services, provides us a platform for inaugurating and conducting
collectibles shows in our other markets and adds management personnel
who
are experienced in managing and conducting collectibles trade
shows.

|
Sales
of Website and Print Advertising. We sell advertising in
our publications and on our websites to collectibles dealers and
auctioneers in the markets in which we offer our branded authentication
and grading services. Due to the increasing number of visitors to
our
websites, we are able to offer those dealers and auctioneers the
opportunity to market their products and services to an increased
number
of prospective customers.
|
|
•
|
Dealer
Financing Program. Under this program, we offer short-term
loans, primarily to established collectibles dealers and collectors
that
use our authentication and grading services. The loans, which
are collateralized by the collectibles that dealers submit to us
for
authentication and grading, are intended to provide those dealers
and
collectors with working capital. We believe these loans will
provide an incentive to dealers to submit additional collectibles
to us
for authentication and grading, as well as generating interest income
for
us.

•
|
Autograph
Grading Services. We launched autograph grading services,
beginning with single signed baseballs. Our autograph grading service
meets existing and creates additional demand for differentiation
in the
quality, and thus in the value, of autographed memorabilia. Our grading
is
based primarily on sharpness, intensity, readability and clarity
of
autographs.
|
|
•
|
Expansion
of Website Information Services. We have been expanding
the information available on our websites, including the addition
of: (i)
historical coin auction prices; (ii) reproductions of historical
reference
books; and (iii) the contents of famous coin, sportscard and stamp
collections. These services are designed to attract new
collectors, increase the number of visitors to our websites and increase
advertising revenues. During the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006
and 2005,
on a combined basis, our five websites attracted, on average, over
255,000, 227,000, and 167,000 visitors, respectively, per
week.

eBay
Promotional Programs. Leveraging our expertise and
reputation as a leading independent third party authenticator and
grader
of high-value collectibles, we work with eBay to create programs
designed
to increase the marketability of collectibles on its auction websites
and,
at the same time, promote our authentication and grading services.
We
offer a fee-based “Quick Opinion” autograph authentication service to
visitors on eBay’s sports memorabilia auction website. Our autograph
experts render an authenticity opinion based on an examination of
the
digital image of the autograph posted on eBay. We also have included,
at
eBay’s request, information about the benefits of our authentication and
grading services on our websites, to which eBay has placed links
on its
collectibles websites in order to make that information readily accessible
to its users.

“First
Strike®” and First Day of Issue Programs. Every year since
1992, the U.S. Mint has produced, in limited quantities, issues of
gold
bullion coins, and beginning in 1997, silver bullion coins, changing
the
dies each year that strike the coins so that the current year is
minted on
the coins. Because the detail of the coin as struck by new dies
is an important collector characteristic, in 2005, PCGS introduced
a new
“First Strike” designation to identify those coins that were
submitted for certification, or which could be verified as having
been
released by the U.S. Mint in sealed containers, in January of each
year. We inaugurated our First Strike program to
provide dealers and collectors with independent verification of the
release of those coins in the first month of the year. During
fiscal year 2007, the U.S. Mint began releasing the new designs of
Presidential One Dollar coins under

Provided
increased security for purchasers of diamonds by including, with
each
diamond that is graded by GCAL, a “Gemprint” of the diamond, which is a
digital image of its unique refractive light pattern, using our patented
non-invasive diamond identification process. GCAL stores the
Gemprint in its computer database, cross-indexed to the diamond’s GCAL
grading certificate. As a result, if a dealer or consumer wants
to sell the diamond at a future date, the seller can provide the
prospective purchaser with evidence that the diamond being sold is,
in
fact, the diamond that was originally graded by and described in
the
grading certificate issued by GCAL, by (i) using the Gemprint process
to produce another digital image of the diamond at the time of sale
and
(ii) comparing that digital image to one stored in GCAL’s
database. Consequently, the Gemprint process enables GCAL to
provide an additional measure of protection against misrepresentations
of
diamond quality that can occur by, for example, switching a diamond
grading certificate issued for a higher quality diamond to a lower
quality
diamond or by altering the grading
certificate.

Launched
the Five Star Diamond Grading Certificate that includes five distinct
services bundled into one certificate at a 20% to 50% discount to
the fees
that we believe the customer would have to pay to purchase these
services
separately. GCAL’s Five Star certificate also means that the
customer need only keep a single grading certificate, rather than
having
to maintain multiple grading certificates issued by the different
grading
services. The five bundled services
include:
|
—
|
Direct
Light Performance Analysis, which is a service that directly measures
the light return from a diamond and expresses that return in calculations,
of Optical Brilliance and, Optical Symmetry, using descriptive terms
from
Excellent, Very Good, and Good to Fair. These results are based
on the measurement of the number of pixels in light return from incident
light. The results are shown on the certificate in two digital
images of the diamond along with the two associated adjectival
descriptions for Brilliance and Symmetry. The easily understood
graphics and rating assist a potential diamond buyer in comparing
the
visual qualities of one diamond to
another.
|
—
|
Gemprint
Security Registration, which is a service that captures the unique
light refraction pattern of a diamond in a digital format and records
the
unique “fingerprint” of the diamond, and registers that image in a
database. At any time after the diamond has been certified by
GCAL and a Gemprint registered, the diamond may be matched to this
database by taking another Gemprint of the diamond and comparing
the
digital image of the requested diamond to the registered database
using
the Gemprint proprietary algorithm. This process provides
assurance that a GCAL certified diamond can be matched to the original
certificate, thereby making it possible to detect misrepresentations
of
the quality of the diamond by switching or altering its grading
certificates.
|
—
|
Laser
Inscription, which is a service that inscribes information using a
cold laser on the girdle of the diamond. Laser inscription is often
used
for quick identification, engraving of logos or particular phrases.
Laser
inscription is only a few microns deep into the diamond and can be
easily
removed and is one of the most often requested extra services that
is
included in the GCAL bundled
services.
|
—
|
Grading
Guarantee, which is a limited warranty that provides assurance to the
diamond purchaser that if the diamond is submitted for re-grading,
within
two years following the date of its original examination (which may
occur
as a result of a resale of the diamond), the color and clarity grades
on
the re-grading will be equal to the color and clarity grades assigned
on
the diamond’s original grading. Due to the grading process
employed by GCAL, the grading experts who re-grade a diamond are
not able
to determine the original grades assigned to the diamond and, therefore,
the rating assigned on re-grading cannot be affected by the original
grades given to the diamond. This guarantee is the first and
only warranty issued in the industry and provides the buyer with
increased
confidence in the quality rating provided by
GCAL.
|
—
|
Fair
and Consistent Clarity and Color Certification, which is the result
of the consensus process employed by GCAL, where at least two qualified
diamond experts must agree on the subjective grading of Clarity and
Color,
two of the four “C’s” of diamond grading. The other two “C’s”
are Carat and Cut, both of which are measured by high technology
machines. Differences in one grade of Clarity or one grade of
Color may result in value differences in the marketplace of from
10% to
50%.

|
Launched
the Source VeritasSM
Passport
that includes all of the benefits of the Five Star Diamond Grading
Certificate and provides the assurance that the diamond was cut and
polished from a rough diamond mined in compliance with the Kimberley
Process (www.kimberleyprocess.com) and the 2003 Clean Diamond Act,
as may
be applicable, which are designed to assure that the diamond being
sold
was not mined in a country where diamond sales are used to fund rebel
movements against legitimate
countries.
|
|
•
|
Launched
the GemFactsSM
Digital
Certification Data Delivery System, by which the information on a
GCAL
grading certificate is delivered, digitally, on a mini-CD along with
the
printed certificate at the time of retail sale or on the Internet
in a
certificate look-up feature on the GCAL website. This digital
delivery system allows for co-marketing of certain diamond retail
programs, including co-branding with the retail seller and may include
a
digital marketing video for the retail seller. Educational
“pop-up” windows are available when any one of 19 key terms are touched
with the cursor, making the GemFacts digital certificate interactive
for
the user and a helpful sales tool at the retail
counter.

Market
Size. The size of the target market, measured both in
terms of the volume and the value of the collectibles or high-value
assets
that trade in the market;
|
|
•
|
Trading
Prices. The prices at which collectibles or other
high-value assets trade in the target market, because we have found
that
the more valuable the collectible or asset, the greater is the demand
for
authentication and grading
services;
|
|
•
|
Competitive
Environment. The presence or absence of existing
independent authentication and grading services in the target market,
its
capacity for new entrants and the satisfaction of dealers and collectors
with the services offered by existing
providers;
|
|
•
|
Availability
of Experts. The availability of experts needed to succeed
in entering a target market; and
|
|
•
|
Means
of Entry. The benefits and costs of entry by means of an
opportunistic acquisition, as opposed to starting a new authentication
and
grading service that would require the development of a new
brand.
|
|
•
|
Price
Guides. We provide a wide variety of authoritative price
guides for a number of collectible markets. For example, we track
the
prices at which the 3,000 most actively-traded U.S. coins are sold,
dating
back to 1970, and compile and publish this information in a generally
recognized collectible coin index, known as the
CU3000.
|
|
•
|
Rarity
Reports. We compile and publish reports that list the
total number of coins and sportscards we have graded since our inception,
categorized by item type and grade determination. We can publish,
for
example, the exact number of Mint State (MS) 67-grade 1881-S Morgan
silver
dollars that we have graded. We believe that collectors use this
information to make more informed decisions regarding the purchase
of
particular coins.
|
|
•
|
Articles. Collecting
is a passion for many and has nuances and anecdotes that are well
suited
to a library of articles for each category of collectibles. We write
informative articles and publish them on our websites. A sense of
community is also important to collectors. We therefore encourage
our
customers to communicate and to write articles which we sometimes
publish
on our websites or include in our
publications.
|
|
•
|
Historical
Content. Collecting is often about history, and, in many
instances, historical events associated with a collectible enhance
its
value. In our publications, we provide short histories about unusual
and
rare collectibles. We believe that these historical accounts
add to the attractiveness and excitement of purchasing such
items. During 2004, House of Collectibles, a division of Random
House, published the second edition of the Official Guide to Coin
Grading and Counterfeit Detection, which was authored by our
collectible coin experts. To enhance the historical content
that we are able to provide dealers and collectors, in the first
quarter
of the current fiscal year we acquired CoinFacts.com, which operates
a
website at www.coinfacts.com, at which we are now able to offer coin
dealers and collectors proprietary information about the date and
mintmark
combinations of U.S. Colonial Coins, early U.S. coins, such as the
Liberty
Cap Half Cent of 1794, to the most recent U.S. minted coins, such
as the
Fifty State Quarters™ and the One Ounce American Eagle Gold and Silver
Bullion Coins currently being produced by the U.S.
Mint.
|
|
•
|
News. We
provide market news and information that are accessible to collectors
and
dealers on our websites. The news and information most often relate
to
recent events, such as sales of collectibles at record prices, the
introduction of new collectibles and trends and developments in the
collectibles markets we serve.
|
|
•
|
Direct
Advertising. We directly address collectors by advertising
our services in trade journals and periodicals in each of our markets.
Those journals include Coin World, Linn’s Stamp News,
Sports Collectors Digest and Autograph Collector
Magazine. We make personal appearances at major,
national-market trade shows around the United States that are attended
by
collectors, as well as dealers. We also participate in and
support programs conducted by non-profit associations whose members
are
primarily collectors, such as the American Numismatic Association
and the
American Stamp Dealers Association.
|
|
•
|
Set
Registry Programs. We provide collectors with the
opportunity to participate in free Internet “Set Registry” programs that
we host on our collectibles websites. These programs encourage
collectors to assemble full sets of related collectibles that have
been
authenticated and graded by us. Generally, each registered set
is comprised of between 50 and 200 separate, but related,
collectibles. Examples include particular issues of coins, such
as Twenty Dollar Gold Double Eagles or Morgan Silver Dollars; particular
sets of sportscards, such as all Hall of Fame pitchers or a particular
team, like the 1961 Yankees; or sets of collectible stamps, such
as
Columbian Commemoratives or Graf Zeppelin Airmail stamps. Our
Set Registry programs enable
collectors:
|
|
—
|
to
register their sets on our websites, which provides them with an
off-site
reference source for insurance and informational
purposes;
|
|
—
|
to
display on our websites, and compare the completeness and quality
grades
of, the collectibles making up their sets to those of other collectors
who
have registered similar sets on our websites, thereby creating a
competitive aspect to collecting that adds to its excitement;
and
|
|
—
|
to
enter our annual Company-sponsored Set Registry competitions and
awards
programs in which collectors can win awards for having collected
the most
complete and highest graded sets of particular series or issues of
coins,
sportscards or stamps.
|
•
|
Collectors
Clubs Subscription Program. We also have established
“Collectors Clubs” for coin, currency and sportscard
collectors. For an annual membership fee, ranging from $50 to
$230, collectors receive a number of benefits, including (i) the
right to
have, without any further charge, a specified number of collectibles
authenticated and graded by us, a privilege that non-member collectors
do
not have; and (ii) access to certain proprietary data that we make
available on our websites or in print. As of June 30, 2007,
there were approximately 18,000 members in our Collectors
Clubs.
|
• |
Certified
Coin Exchange Business-to-Business Website. The Certified
Con Exchange (CCE) website, which we purchased in 2005, is a
business-to-business website for recognized dealers in the trade.
Currently, there are over 200,000 certified coins being offered at
bid and
ask at an aggregate value of over $200 million, an increase in excess
of
100% of the number of items offered on average in the previous
year. The liquidity afforded the units traded on CCE increases
the demand for PCGS certified
coins.
|
• |
Collectors
Corner Business-to-Consumer Website. We have launched
Collectors Corner (www.collectorscorner.com), a business-to-consumer
website where consumers can visit, identify, search, select and sort
over
100,000 coins offered for sale by dealers, an increase of over nine
times
the number of coins offered on average at Collectors Corner in fiscal
2006. All coins on Collectors Corner are offered by members of
the business-to-business website CCE. In addition, we launched
the functional ability for PCGS Set Registry participants to automatically
search Collectors Corner for specific coins that would increase the
value
of the participant’s set on Set Registry by either filling a void in the
set or by upgrading the quality of a coin currently a part of the
participant’s set. Collectors Corner has advantages over other
business-to-consumer websites in that the counterparties to the consumer
are members of the largest and best known coin exchange and the coins
listed are at fixed prices with the opportunity to negotiate lower
prices. The increased turnover offered for coins on Collectors
Corner in conjunction with the relative simplicity of the improvement
of a
set in Set Registry provides for increased brand preference for PCGS
authenticated and graded coins.

Diamond
Trade Buyer Website. We have launched
the GCAL diamond website, which is directed to the trade to provide
information on our services and processes. The website includes
details about our service levels and our unique warranty and Gemprint
application, along with videos of our processes in the
laboratory. During the three month period ended June 30, 2007,
we had (on average) approximately 700 unique visitors a week to this
trade-oriented website.
|
• |
Diamond
Certificate Co-Branding. GCAL has a program of co-branding
the diamond sightholder or the retailer on the diamond grading certificate
in order to provide point-of-sale support for the brand or after-sale
support for the brands once the consumer has taken the diamond
home. Diamond sightholders are requested by many diamond mining
interests to conduct marketing programs to “brand” a diamond from that
mining interest at the retail counter. Co-branding on the
diamond grading certificate is one of the most cost effective ways
by
which a sightholder can brand the diamonds it purchases and
resells. Retailers are searching for various points of
differentiation in a sales presentation and co-branded diamond grading
certificates can create a point of differentiation between the retailer
and those of its competitors who are not using GCAL’s services.
Currently there are several co-branding programs in process
including programs with retailers Bailey Banks & Biddle, a unit of
Zale Corporation and Blue Nile, and product manufacturer Vision Cut
for
the Cushette brand diamond.
|
• |
Certified
Diamond Exchange Business-to-Business Website. In the very
near future, we expect to launch the Certified Diamond Exchange,
a
business-to-business website for GCAL certified diamonds. This
website is targeted to diamond buyers comprised of more than 20,000
independent, U.S. based jewelry retailers that are members of the
Jewelers
Board of Trade, a credit scoring business in the jewelry markets.
The
targeted sellers are the diamond dealers who have loose diamond inventory
for sale. We believe that by making GCAL certified diamonds
more widely available to the
independent jewelers, we can increase demand for GCAL
certifications. Buyers are admitted to the website at no cost,
and during the launch phase, sellers will not have to pay any
fees to list GCAL certified diamonds on our Certified Diamond
Exchange. Similar websites offering diamonds require a fee to
be paid by both the buyer and the seller.

•
|
Colored
Gemstone Brand Extension. Because AGL has an established
brand associated with the high-value colored gemstones, we believe
we can
extend that brand “down market” to the middle value market using the
existing retail distribution channels and providing retailers and
customers with information about the AGL brand and its prominence
for high
value colored gemstones.
|
•
|
Colored
Gemstone Trade Buyer Website. We have launched the AGL colored
gemstone website directed to the trade that provides information
on our
services and processes. The website includes details about our
service levels and our two key levels of service: Prestige
Services and Fast Track Services.
|
|
•
|
Trade
Publication Advertising and Direct Communications. We
communicate to dealers and auctioneers by direct contact and through
advertising in trade journals and publications in the respective
markets.
Those journals include Coin World, Linn’s Stamp News,
Sports Collectors Digest and Autograph Collector
Magazine. We also communicate with our dealers and with
auctioneers by direct mail, email, and
telephone.
|
|
•
|
Trade
Shows and Conventions. There are numerous collectibles
trade shows and conventions held annually in the United States, of
which
approximately 30 generally are considered to be the largest and most
significant in the collectible coin, sportscard, autograph and stamp
markets. At these shows and conventions, collectibles dealers
gather on a trading floor or “bourse” to buy and sell
collectibles. We offer same day, on-site authentication and
grading services, which facilitate the trading and sales of collectibles
at these shows and conventions. At the same time, we obtain
additional brand exposure and generate increased revenues, because
dealers
and collectors generally are willing to pay higher fees for same
day,
on-site services.
|
|
•
|
Our
Dealer Invitationals. We sponsor and host 8-to-10
“invitation-only” events per year for our larger dealers that provide them
with forums for buying and selling their collectibles. We also
offer same day, on-site authentication and grading services at these
invitationals. Like the other trade shows and conventions we
attend, these invitationals enable us to generate additional
authentication and grading revenues. At the same time, because
we host the invitationals, they provide additional brand exposure
and
build goodwill for us among the collectibles
dealers.
|
|
•
|
Authorized
Dealer Network. We have implemented authorized dealer
programs for coin and sportscard collectibles dealers and auction
companies. Authorized dealers are able to use our marketing
materials which are designed to promote our services and those of
our
authorized dealers to collectors. Those materials include
“point of sale” and “point of purchase” displays and brochures and direct
mail pieces for insertion in customer mailings. In addition,
authorized dealers may use our brand logotypes on their websites
to
attract buyers for coins and sportscards that have been authenticated
and
graded by us. We also conduct joint marketing programs with our
authorized dealers in which we provide financial support for dealer
marketing programs, approved by us, that promote both the dealer’s
products and services and our authentication and grading
services.

Jewelry
Trade Publication Advertising, Trade Show Appearances and Educational
Seminars. GCAL advertises in the major jewelry trade publications and
maintains an active press relations campaign. GCAL was featured in
the May
2007 issue of New York Diamonds for the introduction of GCAL
services by the company. GCAL also attends the major jewelry trade
shows
primarily in the summer (targeted at the fall and holiday selling
season)
and late fall and winter (targeted at the Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day
season). GCAL also has the opportunity to hold educational seminars
at
some of the trade shows and in-store training on grading issues and
the
use of the GCAL diamond grading certificate in retail
transactions. Because colored gemstones are sold at retail
through virtually identical channels of distribution, AGL utilizes
these
same communication channels in trade publications, trade show appearances
and educational seminars. This increased utilization of the existing
communications links, allows for significant synergy between GCAL
and AGL
with respect to the time, energy, messaging and expenses in these
venues.
|
|
•
|
Cross-Marketing
Between GCAL and AGL. GCAL is establishing
relationships with retailers to provide diamond authentication and
grading
services for the middle market. By introducing the AGL brand to
the retailers and drawing on the high value brand recognition of
AGL and a
more value-driven pricing program, we believe we can cross-market
AGL
services to the GCAL relationships. At the same time, AGL has
relationships with some of the high value sellers like Sotheby’s and
Christies. By introducing GCAL to these high value sellers and
describing the benefits of GCAL certifications, including the grading
warranties offered by GCAL and the security benefits of Gemprint,
we
believe we can cross-market GCAL to the AGL relationships. As a
result of those cross-marketing efforts, Christies, which is a long-time
AGL customer, will soon begin including, in its diamond auction
catalogues, descriptions or copies of GCAL grading certificates to
promote
the sale of GCAL certified-diamonds at its
auctions.
|
|
•
|
Informative
and Educational Web Pages. We have created web pages for
eBay specifically designed to inform and educate eBay buyers and
sellers
about the benefits of our authentication and grading services. eBay
includes, on its collectibles web pages, links to our web pages and
encourages its collectibles customers to use our services. eBay has
similar programs with other collectibles authentication and grading
services.
|
|
•
|
Quick
Opinion Autograph Authentication Service. We have
developed, for eBay’s customers that visit its sports memorabilia auction
website, a fee-based “Quick Opinion” autograph authentication
service. For a prescribed fee, currently $7 per autograph, an
eBay visitor that is interested in selling or buying an autographed
item
of memorabilia on the eBay auction website can obtain, from one of
our
autograph experts, a “quick” opinion as to the authenticity of the
autograph, generally provided within a day of submission. The
opinion is based on an examination of a digital image of the autograph
posted on eBay and, due to the limitations inherent in this process,
we do
not warrant the accuracy of these opinions. The fees generated
by this service are shared between us and
eBay.
