BUSINESS Organizational History Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc. (we, us, our or the Company) was incorporated as Auror Capital Corp. under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 16, 2006. We are a global provider of learning products and training solutions with a focus on corporate training, language learning and technology development. We have offices in 7 major cities in the United States, Canada, Hong Kong and Mainland China. We began our operations as an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On January 23, 2009, our former management decided to abandon the Companys Katrina mineral claim due to unsuccessful explorations to date and inability to attract investment capital to proceed with further exploration on the claim. We then began seeking other opportunities with established entities for the merger or other combination of a target business with the Company. On July 27, 2009, we changed our business purpose to focus on becoming an educational software development and sales company. In furtherance of our new approach, we entered into an exclusive License Agreement with Mount Knowledge, Inc. (MtK), a corporation formed by the Chairman of our Board of Directors, Erwin Sniedzins, pursuant to which we obtained the exclusive worldwide licensing rights to promote, market and sell MtKs products. At that time, MtKs products included the Syntality Knowledge Generator and Complete English Real Time Intelligent Self Learning Systems. This License Agreement was subsequently superseded by an exclusive Master Software License Agreement dated January 21, 2010 (the Master Software License Agreement). The Master Software License was subsequently cancelled on December 27, 2010. See the discussion below under Arrangements with UCandu Learning Centres Inc. Purchase of Intellectual Property. Recent Developments Arrangements with UCandu Learning Centres Inc. On December 28, 2010, the Company entered into an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement (the IP Purchase Agreement) with Erwin Sniedzins, the Chairman of the Companys Board of Directors, and Ucandu Learning Centres Inc., an Ontario corporation founded and controlled by Mr. Sniedzins (Ucandu and, together with Mr. Sniedzins, the Ucandu Sellers), pursuant to which the Ucandu Sellers sold that certain software commonly referred to between the parties as the Real-Time Self Learning Systems (the Software), including all copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks and trade secrets therein (collectively, with the Software, the Intellectual Property) to the Company. The Company previously licensed the Intellectual Property from MtK pursuant to the Master Software License Agreement. Pursuant to the IP Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the Intellectual Property and as a result, the Master Software License Agreement was no longer needed. On December 28, 2010, the Company entered into an Independent Contractor Agreement (the Independent Contractor Agreement) with Ucandu pursuant to which the Company engaged Ucandu to provide sales and marketing and technology services to the Company. As compensation for such services, the Company shall pay Ucandu an aggregate of $432,000 in equal monthly payments of $12,000 per month on the first business day of each month, which such payments commenced on January 3, 2011. The term of the Independent Contractor Agreement commenced upon execution of the agreement and shall continue in full force and effect through December 31, 2013. The agreement may only be extended thereafter by mutual agreement of the parties. The Company may terminate the agreement at any time upon 30 days written notice. The Company may terminate the agreement, effective immediately; with Cause as such term is defined in the agreement. If the Company terminates the agreement without cause on or before December 31, 2011, Ucandu will continue to receive monthly payments of $12,000 for the period of time between the date on which the agreement was terminated and December 31, 2011 and for the eight months thereafter. 2 If the Company terminates the agreement without cause after December 31, 2011, Ucandu will continue to receive monthly payments of $12,000 for the period of time that is the lesser of (i) eight (8) months after the termination date or (ii) the period of time between the termination date and the end of the term of the agreement. On December 28, 2010, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (the Option Agreement) with Ucandu pursuant to which Ucandu granted to the Company an option (the Option) to purchase 510,000 shares of common stock of Mount Knowledge Technologies, Inc., an Ontario corporation (f/k/a 1827281 Ontario Inc.) (MTK Tech), from Ucandu. MTK Tech was formed on June 18, 2010 and is jointly owned by Ucandu, which currently holds 51% of MTK Techs common stock, and the Company, which currently holds the remaining 49% of the MTK Tech common stock. The shares of MTK Techs common stock underlying the Option represent all of the shares of MTK Techs common stock held by Ucandu as of December 28, 2010. Acquisition of Language Key Asia, Ltd. On December 31, 2010, the Company, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Mount Knowledge Asia, Ltd. (MTK Asia) completed the acquisition of 100% of the ordinary shares of Language Key Asia, Ltd.

Product Description and Features Knowledge Generator and Examatar Knowledge Generator and Examatar were developed with various software user-interface enablers and interactive tools to promote the utilization of the users senses during the learning process; to see (visualize), listen, compose, speak, reply and interact and react to information by keyboard touch, sound and voice. Knowledge Generator and Examatar address learning needs of students from preschool to college and throughout their adult continued education learning cycle. KG assists students learning needs from one phonetic sound to complete pronunciation of phrases, from learning one word to understanding and writing complete sentences, from listening to speaking and comprehension, etc. Users can import, in various formats (i.e. word document, RTF, Internet documents, etc.), virtually textual content or subject they want to learn and the Knowledge Generator software application tools will automatically create interactive subject based learning or skills training lessons, tests and subsequently, scores. The Companys product line consists of a proprietary core technology that allows for textual information to be converted into a multi-purpose learning experience with automatically generated interactive lessons, exercises, tests and scores. The software application has more than 240 interactive enabling learning tools that allow users to transform information into knowledge quickly, providing an interactive and dynamic alternative to traditional passive (rote) learning methods. ECO Learning ECO Learning is a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) dedicated to English communication for the Business-to-Business (B2B) or corporate market space. ECO Learning is a low-cost mass-market English solution that aligns the English training initiatives of a foreign corporate client by offering the following:
7 With the ECO Learning Level Check Test, users can gauge their English proficiency anytime. The test provides an approximate ALTE grade and helps users define their personal learning objectives though a selection process. ECO Learning then recommends lessons and courses that are relevant and appropriate to the users proficiency and needs. The Personal Learning Path can be studied alongside all other content on the platform giving users complete autonomy over their personal development.
Growth Strategy We believe the Company is well positioned to become the standard for accelerated learning products and training services. The Company has a four-part strategy for growth:
Sales and Marketing Overview The Companys sales and marketing strategy combines direct sales and service-based sales techniques. In certain markets, one-on-one training and product sales in corporately owned or partnered learning centers or schools in conjunction with a monthly residual web-based business model and/or a direct internet sales and marketing approach may be the most cost-effective and efficient method. 8 In addition, we expect that marketing channel alliances will play a significant role in our Companys sales strategy, capitalizing on existing marketing and distribution channels. However, our Companys long-term strategy is to maximize all sales and marketing channels available, including corporate and direct consumer alliances and co-marketing channels. Revenues The Company anticipates generating revenues from the marketing and sale of the Companys learning products and services. Management foresees the primary source of our revenues in 2011 to come primarily from the sale of its products and services in US, Canada, China and Hong Kong. Milestones Our milestones and objectives over the next 12 months are significantly dependent on various factors which the Company may or may not be in control of, including, but not limited to: (a) obtaining adequate financing to sustain and expand our operations; (b) ability to identify suitable acquisition targets; (c) acquiring synergistic business operations to accelerate revenue growth; (d) ability to develop new partnerships and distribution channels in China; (e) launching new marketing and sales strategies; (f) completing market-specific product enhancements; (g) creating new B2B applications, (h) generating adequate cash flow from the sales of the Companys products and services to sustain its operations. Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to complete the objectives described under the heading Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations. Capital & Uses of Proceeds Capital Needs To implement our plan of operations, we will need to continue to raise capital in an amount between $2.5 to $5.0 million in equity from restricted stock sales or other acceptable financing vehicles over the 6 month period beginning in the first quarter of 2011 on terms and conditions to be determined. Management may also elect to seek subsequent interim or bridge financing in the form of debt as may be necessary. We anticipate the need to raise additional capital beyond the first 6 months of operations, subject to the successful implementation of our initial milestones over the first 180 days of operations and our revenue growth cycle thereafter. At this time, management is unable to determine the specific amounts and terms of such future financings. Proceeds We foresee the proceeds from capital raised to be allocated as follows: (a) consolidation and integration; (b) growth capital; (c) acquisition research and due diligence; (d) business enterprise applications; (e) product enhancements, membership programs and technology partners; (f) new business development and marketing; (g) legal, audit, SEC filings and compliance fees; (h) financing costs; (i) working capital (general and administrative); (j) reserve capital for costs of acquisition and market expansion. Competition Competition Overview The Company conducts its business in an environment that is highly competitive and unpredictable. The Company has identified at least 20 other companies and/or products that compete directly in the same educational/learning market. Its competition may have considerable financial resources at their disposal, which could facilitate their access to the market under more favorable terms than the Company and could allow them faster market penetration. 9 Each of our competitors has existing marketing campaigns, fully developed products and an established customer base, to varying respective degrees. Competitive Analysis The following table outlines some of the competition to the Knowledge Generator product line presently in the market*:
* The chart above represent comparisons of other companies offering a similar product or services to that of the Company during 2010 and may not be an accurate depiction of their products and services offerings for 2011. Employees Currently, we have approximately 64 full-time employees in the Company, including employees in US, Canada, China and Hong Kong. Intellectual Property The Company own certain Intellectual Property consisting of software commonly referred to between the parties as the Real-Time Self Learning Systems (the Software), including all copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks and trade secrets therein (collectively, with the Software, the Intellectual Property) to the Company, it acquired on December 28, 2011 from Erwin Sniedzins, the Chairman of the Companys Board of Directors, and Ucandu Learning Centres Inc., an Ontario corporation founded and controlled by Mr. Sniedzins. The Company previously licensed the Intellectual Property from Mount Knowledge Inc., a sales and marketing entity founded and controlled by Mr. Sniedzins (MTK Inc), pursuant to a Master Software License Agreement (the Original Agreement) dated January 21, 2010 between the Company and MTK Inc. Pursuant to the IP Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the Intellectual Property and as a result, the Original Agreement was no longer needed. The purchase price (the Purchase Price) for the Intellectual Property is payable in two installments. The amount of the first installment is based upon a post-closing appraisal of the value of the Intellectual Property as of December 28, 2010. Specifically, within six (6) months after December 28, 2001, the Company shall select, in its sole discretion, an independent appraiser or auditor to conduct an evaluation and appraisal of the book value of the Intellectual Property as of December 28, 2010 (the Closing Date Appraised Value). 10 The amount of the first installment (the First Payment Amount), which is due on the first anniversary of December 28, 2010 (the First Anniversary Date), shall be determined as follows:
In lieu of a cash payment, the Company may elect to pay all or part of the First Payment Amount in shares of its common stock based on a price per share equal to the closing bid price of the Companys common stock on the trading date that immediately precedes the First Anniversary Date. The second installment is payable on the second anniversary of December 28, 2010 by delivery of 2,500,000 shares of the Companys common stock to the Sellers. In the event of an Acceleration Event, as defined in the IP Purchase Agreement, the then-outstanding portion of the Purchase Price, if any, through the date of such event, shall become, at the Sellers election in writing to the Company, immediately due and payable. The IP Purchase Agreement contains customary warranties and representations and indemnification and confidentiality provisions and provides that the Sellers are subject to noncompetition and noninterference covenants. Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights The Company is dependent on the ability to maintain protection of current and future intellectual property, patents, trademarks, and/or copyrights owned by the Company. Our current intellectual property includes the Real Time Learning and Self Improvement Educational System and Method, also referred to as the Real-Time Self Learning Systems learning and training method as set forth in the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/807,028, initially filed on or about July 11, 2006 in the name of Erwin E. Sniedzins, with an updated Utility Patent Application executed on or about June 27, 2007 as set forth Utility Patent Application Transmittal filed on or about July 5, 2007 as set forth in the United States Patent and Trademark Office confirmation receipt dated July 25, 2007, including but not limited to, any and all related computer code, including any and all software products and services derived from said learning and training method and related computer code (e.g. Knowledge Generator, Examatar, and Syntality learning products and services trademarks filed with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office), existing now or in the future, along with all trademarks, trade names (e.g. Mount Knowledge, Knowledge Generator, KG, Examatar, Syntality), technology know-how, marketing materials, owned jointly and severally by Ucandu, corporately and/or Erwin Sniedzins, personally and individually and/or assigned to or used by MTK. The Company does not require it to obtain any patents for the products developed and owned by Company in order for it to market and sell the products as contemplated, nor does it anticipate any adversity in its ability to generate revenues if such patents are not obtained in the future. However, the approval of one or more patents of the products developed and owned by Company may increase its competitive advantage in the marketplace in terms of proprietary features, functions, and overall value proposition to the customers we intend to serve.

Plan of Operations Over the 12-month of 2011, we must raise capital and complete certain milestones as described below: Milestones The Company anticipates the completion of the following objectives over the next 12 months, beginning in the first quarter of 2011: 14 First 180 Days of Operations (Administrative). In the first 180 days of operations, beginning in the first quarter of 2011, our primary focus will be to complete necessary administrative functions and consolidations from recent acquisitions, obtain new financing and acquire certain existing marketing and sales agreements in order to properly position the Company execute its business plan. These proposed objectives are as follows:
15
Next 180 days of Operations. In the next 180 days of operations beginning the first quarter of 2011, we plan to expand our objectives to include new product enhancements, the development of new partnerships and distribution channels, and direct sales opportunities in the form of infomercials and online membership programs, including the option of bundling our product with potential technology partners to increase brand awareness and product reach as follows:
16 The milestones outlined above represent our objectives for the purpose of obtaining revenues from the marketing and sales of our products and services through various marketing and distribution channels. Although, we have arranged and specified each respective milestone in a defined order, or timeline, over the next 12 months, beginning the first quarter of 2011, we may find the need to modify any or all of the milestones listed, subject to unforeseen circumstances and other contingences which may require us to alter, in whole, or in part, certain aspects of each respective milestone in order for us to successfully realize revenue and ultimately attempt to achieve profitability. Each milestone many begin at a different time than indicated and may continue for a shorter or longer period of time than suggested, depending upon if such milestones have successfully resulted in generating revenues for us. Also, each milestone may require more or less capital than anticipated and may need to be adjusted from time to time. Furthermore, any adjustments made to the proposed milestones may adversely affect the revenue potential of each milestone and overall revenues and/or our profitability. Requirements and Utilization of Funds To implement our plan of operations, including some or all of the above described milestones (objectives), we will need to continue to raise capital in an amount between $2.5 and $5.0 million over the next 6 month period beginning in the first quarter of 2011 on terms and conditions to be determined. Management intends to raise such capital through the issuance of equity securities. Management may elect to seek subsequent interim or bridge financing in the form of debt (corporate loans) as may be necessary. We anticipate the need to raise additional capital beyond the first 6 months of operations, subject to the successful implementation of our initial milestones over the first 180 days of operations and our revenue growth cycle thereafter. At this time, management is unable to determine the specific amounts and terms of such future financings. We foresee the proceeds from capital raised to be allocated as follows: (a) consolidation and integration; (b) growth capital; (c) acquisition research and due diligence; (d) business enterprise applications; (e) product enhancements, membership programs and technology partners; (f) new business development and marketing; (g) legal, audit, SEC filings and compliance fees; (h) financing costs; (i) working capital (general and administrative); (j) reserve capital for costs of acquisition and market expansion. Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2010, we had $288,872 in the bank and $2,747 of prepaid expenses. We had revenues of $1,901,396 during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2010. We are illiquid and need cash infusions from investors and/or current shareholders to support our proposed marketing and sales operations. Management believes this amount may not satisfy our cash requirements for the next 12 months and as such we will need to either raise additional proceeds and/or our officers and/or directors will need to make additional financial commitments to our company, neither of which is guaranteed. We plan to satisfy our future cash requirements, primarily the working capital required to execute on our objectives, including marketing and sales of our product, and to offset legal and accounting fees, through financial commitments from future debt/equity financings, if and when possible. Management believes that we may generate some sales revenue within the next twelve (12) months, but that these sales revenues will not satisfy our cash requirements during that period. We have no committed source for funds as of this date. No representation is made that any funds will be available when needed. In the event that funds cannot be raised when needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan, may never achieve sales, and could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements as a result of these uncertainties. If we are unsuccessful in raising the additional proceeds from officers and/or directors, we may then have to seek additional funds through debt financing, which would be extremely difficult for an early stage company to secure and may not be available to us. However, if such financing is available, we would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high-risk loans and be subject to above market interest rates. 17 At such time as these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing and determine whether the business could sustain operations and growth and manage the debt load. If we cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of our common stock or secure debt financing we would be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors in our common stock would lose all of their investment. The staged development of our business will continue over the next 12 months. Other than engaging and/or retaining independent consultants to assist the Company in various administrative and marketing related needs, we do not anticipate a significant change in the number of our employees, if any, unless we are able to obtain adequate financing. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next 12 months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our expenses. This is because anticipated revenues during the next 12 months will not be enough to satisfy our cash requirements. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than from the sale of our products. Results of Operations The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 which are included herein. Our operating results for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are summarized as follows:
18 Revenues Our revenue results for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are summarized as follows:
Expenses Our expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are outlined in the table below:
General and Administrative The increase in our general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 was primarily due to: (i) an increase in general operating expenses for the reorganization of LKA, new product development, and sales and marketing efforts. Professional Fees Professional fees include our accounting and auditing expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and audit of our financial statements and professional fees that we pay to our legal counsel are included in the General and Administrative expenses. Our accounting and auditing expenses were incurred in connection with the preparation of our audited financial statements and unaudited interim financial statements and our preparation and filing of a registration statement with the SEC. Our legal expenses represent amounts paid to legal counsel in connection with our corporate organization. Legal expenses will be ongoing during fiscal 2011 as we are subject to the reporting obligations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 19 Liquidity and Capital Resources Working Capital
Cash Flows
We anticipate that we will incur approximately $250,000 for operating expenses, including professional, legal and accounting expenses associated with our reporting requirements under the Exchange Act during the next twelve months. Accordingly, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. Cash Used in Operating Activities We used net cash in operating activities in the amount of $ (69,022) for the period from January 1, 2010 to December 30, 2010 and $ 83,701 during the year ended December 31, 2009. Cash used in operating activities was funded by cash from financing activities. Cash Used in Investing Activities We used net cash in investing activities in the amount of $ (58,881) for the period from January 1, 2010 to December 30, 2010 and $ (7,379) during the year ended December 31, 2009. 20 Cash Provided by Financing Activities We generated $ 155,286 net cash from financing activities for the period from January 1, 2010 to December 30, 2010 compared to net cash from financing activities in the amount of $ 1,234 during the year ended December 31, 2009. Cash generated by financing activities during 2010 is attributable mainly to related party borrowings. Disclosure of Outstanding Share Data As of April 15, 2011, we had 100,287,123 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.. Going Concern The financial statements accompanying this report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that our company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our company has generated limited revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, the ability of our company to obtain necessary equity financing to achieve our operating objectives, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of December 31, 2010, we had accumulated losses of $79,278 since January 1, 2009 and a working capital deficit of $765,037. We do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our company be unable to continue as a going concern. Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above in their report on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors. The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. Future Financings We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned activities. There is no assurance that the Company will able to obtain financing to carry on our legal, accounting and reporting needs. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders. Application of Critical Accounting Estimates The financial statements of our company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgment. 21 The financial statements have been prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below: Mineral Property and Exploration Costs Until abandonment of its mineral property on January 23, 2009, we were an exploration stage mining company and had not realized any revenue from its operations. We were primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties. Exploration costs are expensed as incurred regardless of the stage of development or existence of reserves. Costs of acquisition are capitalized subject to impairment testing, in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment Subsequent Measurement, (formerly SFAS 144), when facts and circumstances indicate impairment may exist, as defined in Note 3, Newly Adopted Accounting Policies And Recent Accounting Guidance . We regularly performed evaluations of any investment in mineral properties to assess the recoverability and/or the residual value of its investments in these assets. Also, long-lived assets were reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Management periodically reviewed the carrying value of its investments in mineral leases and claims with internal and external mining related professionals. A decision to abandon, reduce or expand a specific project was based upon many factors including general and specific assessments of mineral deposits, anticipated future mineral prices, anticipated future costs of exploring, developing and operating a production mine, the expiration term and ongoing expenses of maintaining mineral properties and the general likelihood that the Company will continue exploration on such project. The Company did not set a pre-determined holding period for properties with unproven deposits; however, properties which had not demonstrated suitable metal concentrations at the conclusion of each phase of an exploration program were re-evaluated to determine if future exploration was warranted, whether there has been any impairment in value and that their carrying values was appropriate. If an area of interest is abandoned or it is determined that its carrying value cannot be supported by future production or sale, the related costs are charged against operations in the year of abandonment or determination of value. The amounts recorded as mineral leases and claims represent costs to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future values. Recent Accounting Pronouncements We do not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

22 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA. MOUNT KNOWLEDGE HOLDINGS, INC. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2010 F-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (the Successor Company or the Company) as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the one day period from December 30, 2010 to December 31, 2010 for the Successor Company and the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Language Key Asia Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (the Predecessor Company or the Company) as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from January 1, 2010 through December 30, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Successor Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Successor Company as of December 31, 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the one day period from December 30, 2010 to December 31, 2010 and the consolidated financial position of the Predecessor Company as of December 31, 2009 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from January 1, 2010 through December 30, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Successor Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses for the period from January 1, 2010 through December 30, 2010, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ MaloneBailey, LLP www.malonebailey.com

LKA was further established to enable the efficient acquisition of the LK Group by the Company and to be the vehicle into which to receive equity capital contributions from the Company. The LK Group provides custom-tailored business English and communications skills courses and workshops, executive coaching and other related services to public and private sector clients. As all of the companies in the LK Group are under common control, this structure has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and the financial statements have been prepared as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively. Upon the completion of the Language Key Asia Acquisition, LKA became a wholly owned subsidiary of Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc. (See Note. 3) and the Successor Company no longer qualified as a development stage enterprise as defined under SFAS No. 7 Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises. On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired a 54.34% interest in Mount Knowledge USA, Inc. (MTK USA) by issuing 11,166,690 shares of its common stock and 8,888,888 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. MTK USA markets, sells and distributes a proprietary real time self learning system software application domestically and internationally to a variety of customers, including individuals, schools, government agencies, and businesses. The following chart sets forth the structure of Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries:
The following chart sets forth the structure of Language Key Asia Ltd. and its subsidiaries: F-8 Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP). The Companys functional currency is the US dollar. The LK Groups functional currencies are the Chinese Renminbi and Hong Kong dollar. However, the accompanying financial statements have been translated and presented in United States dollars. On December 31, 2010, the Company changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31. Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Language Key Asia Ltd. is deemed as the Predecessor and Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc. is the Successor for the purpose of financial reporting in accordance with SEC rules. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results may differ from the estimates. Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk The fair value of financial instruments, which consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans payable, were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or relatively short maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is managements opinion that this Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Basic and Diluted Loss per Share In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) subtopic 260-10 (formerly SFAS No. 128 Earnings Per Share), the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. At December 31, 2010, the Company had no stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded in the earnings per share computation. F-9 Foreign Currency Translation Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc.s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. While Language Key Asia Ltd. presents its consolidated financial results and accompanying notes in U.S. dollar terms, its functional currency for its operations in The Peoples Republic of China (PRC) is the Chinese Renminbi, and its functional currency for its operations in Hong Kong is the Hong Kong dollar. Transactions in Renminbi and Hong Kong dollars are translated into U.S. dollars as follows: i) monetary items at the exchange rate
prevailing at the balance sheet date; Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded in Stockholders Equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are recorded in the Statement of Operations. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash is comprised of cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Accounts Receivable The Company records an Account Receivable when it issues an invoice for a particular training contract. Accounts Receivable is reduced by the collection of payments from clients for such invoices. Invoices issued prior to the start of a training course, and therefore in advance of the recognition of any revenue associated with that training course, are classified on the Companys balance sheet as Deferred Revenues. The Company currently does not maintain an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts due to its good collections history with its clients. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as set out below:
Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiary The Company has investments in certain subsidiary of which the Company does not have a majority-ownership interest that do not require consolidation. The investment is accounted for under the equity method. Income Taxes The Company has adopted the ASC subtopic 740-10. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting of income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740-10, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. F-10 The Company provides deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry forwards when realization is more likely than not. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and the estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles Goodwill and Other, goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each of its fiscal year or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. The provisions of ASC 350 require that a two-step test be performed to assess goodwill for impairment. First, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is performed. The second step is performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill must be determined and compared to the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting units goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference will be recorded. Comprehensive Income The Company has adopted ASC220, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income, its components, and accumulated balances in a full-set of general-purpose financial statements. The Companys accumulated other comprehensive income represents the accumulated balance of foreign currency translation adjustments. Share-based Payments The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB on stock compensation, which establishes the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. Under the provisions of the authoritative guidance, share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period). The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Additionally, share-based awards to non-employees are expensed over the period in which the related services are rendered at their fair value. Revenue Recognition The Company and its subsidiaries recognize revenues from training sales equally over the duration of training contracts. Revenues recognized for training courses that commence prior to an invoice being issued are classified on the Companys balance sheet as unbilled revenues. Related parties A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

On December 31, 2010, MKHD announced an agreement on the terms of the acquisition of all of the Ordinary A stock of LKA, being 325,710 shares, by Mount Knowledge Asia Ltd. for cash of $66,960 and 1,800,000 common shares of MHKD at a fair value of $0.20 per share, based on the closing price of MKHDs common stock at December 31, 2010. The acquisition valued the entire issued share capital of LKA at $426,960. As a result of the acquisition, LKA became a wholly owned subsidiary of MKA. The Acquisition closed on December 31, 2010. The acquisition of LKA was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method. Accordingly, the results of LKA have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The components of the consideration paid are shown below. The purchase price of $426,960 was allocated based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition using available information and certain assumptions management believed reasonable. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price:
F-12 The acquisition resulted in allocations of the purchase price to goodwill of $375,292. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company determined that the acquisition of LKA resulted in the recognition of goodwill primarily because the acquisition is expected to help LKA to reach critical mass and shorten the timeframe to its long term financial and strategic objectives through geographic and training product expansion, as well as through the development, launch, and ongoing support of ECO-Learning. The goodwill is subject to review for impairment as indicators of impairment develop and otherwise at least annually. The Company assumed certain liabilities in the acquisition including deferred revenue that was ascribed a fair value of $203,970 using a cost-plus profit approach. The Company is amortizing deferred revenue over the remaining term of the contracts, which reflects the estimated period to satisfy these contract obligations.

Due from related parties consists of the following:
At December 31, 2010, the amounts due from related parties consisted of funds due from the LKCH's Guangzhou branch, which, while it was incorporated in December 2010, did not have opened bank accounts until January 2011. As of this filing, the amounts due from the Guangzhou branch would be eliminated in LKCH, and therefore within LKA's consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2010, Birch First Advisors, LLC, controlled by a shareholder of Mount Knowledge USA, Inc., providing management and advisory services held prepaid expenses from the Company in the amount of $41,573. These expense advances are non-interest bearing and will be applied to future services to be rendered. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the amounts due from related parties consisted entirely of amounts due from a former shareholder. During the period from January 1, 2010 through December 30, 2010, this amount was forgiven and subsequently written off. F-15 Due to related parties consists of the following:
Preferred Stock 8,888,888 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock were issued as partial consideration in the acquisition of Mount Knowledge USA, Inc. per the share exchange agreement entered on December 31, 2010. Common Stock On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired a 54.34% interest in Mount Knowledge USA, Inc by entering into a share exchange agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired 8,888,888 shares of series A convertible preferred stock of Mount Knowledge USA, Inc. and 11,166,690 shares of common stock of Mount Knowledge USA, Inc. In exchange for the Mount Knowledge USA securities, the Company issued 8,888,888 shares of its series A convertible preferred stock and 11,166,690 shares of its common stock. F-16 On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired 325,710 of the ordinary shares (100%) of Language Key Asia Ltd. (LKA), a company incorporated in Hong Kong on October 13, 2010. Consideration comprised 1,800,000 shares of common stock of the Company. On December 31, 2010, the Company agreed to issue to LKA and/or its assigns at closing a total of 480,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Company at a value of $0.001 per share, subject to a 12 month sale restriction from the date of issuance, for the purpose of providing certain employee stock incentives (signing bonus) for key management personnel of LKA. Common Stock Warrants On January 21, 2010, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 8,888,888 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.0001 per share to a company controlled by the Companys founder and present Chairman and director for the acquisition of a software license agreement. The warrants vest two years from the date of grant and expire on January 12, 2013. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be zero as the companys are under common control and there was not cost basis in the software license agreement that was transferred. In December 2010, the software license agreement and the 8,888,888 common stock warrants were cancelled. On January 21, 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 24,000,000 common stock warrants to certain stockholders of the Company. 12,000,000 of the warrants are exercisable at $0.15 per share and 12,000,000 are exercisable at $0.20 per share. The warrants vest immediately and expire January 21, 2013. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $57,180 and was recorded as a cost of raising capital with no net impact of total equity. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The significant assumptions used in the model include the following: Expected dividend yield - 0%
On December 27, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement to cancel the 8,888,888 common stock warrants and the associated software license agreement. There were no common stock options or warrants granted prior to December 31, 2009. A summary of the common stock warrant activity for the year ended December 31, 2010 is as follows:
The range of exercise prices and the weighted average remaining life of the warrants outstanding at December 31, 2010 were $0.15 to $0.20 and 2.5 years, respectively. The Company evaluated its warrants under ASC 815 for consideration of derivative treatment and determined they do not qualify to be accounted for as derivatives. F-17 Predecessor Company As of December 30, 2010, the authorized shares of Language Key Asia Ltd. consisted of the following:
F-18 On November 15, 2010, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for investor relations services over a period of three months.

Tax issues The tax authority of the PRC Government conducts periodic and ad hoc tax filing reviews on business enterprises operating in the PRC after those enterprises had completed their relevant tax filings, hence the Company's PRC subsidiaries tax filings may not be finalized. It is therefore uncertain as to whether the PRC tax authority may take different views about the Company's PRC subsidiarys tax filings which may lead to additional tax liabilities. One area in which the Companys PRC subsidiary faces such uncertainty is with respect to China's Circular on Strengthening the Administration of Enterprise Income Tax on Non-Resident Enterprises' Share Transfer Income (" Circular 698") that was released in December 2009 with retroactive effect from January 1, 2008. The Chinese State Administration of Taxation (SAT) released a circular (Guoshuihan No. 698 - Circular 698) on December 10, 2009 that addresses the transfer of shares of Chinese resident companies by nonresident companies. Circular 698, which is effective retroactively to January 1, 2008, may have a significant impact on many companies that use offshore holding companies to invest in China. While Circular 698 does not apply to shareholders who are individuals, Language Key Corporate Training Solutions Ltd., the sole shareholder of The Language Key China Ltd., and a wholly owned subsidiary of LKA, is a Hong Kong corporation. The PRC authority has the discretion to determine whether this enterprise shareholder is treated as a resident enterprise. If such shareholder is recognized as a non-resident enterprise, Circular 698 may be applicable to the Share Exchange Agreement due to the transfer of shares of LKA, which indirectly holds the equity interests of The Language Key China Ltd., to the Company. Circular 698 provides that where a non-resident enterprise investor indirectly transfers the equity of a PRC resident enterprise, if the overseas intermediary holding company being transferred by the non-resident enterprise is established in a country/region where the effective tax rate is less than 12.5% or which does not tax the overseas income of its residents, the non-resident enterprise must submit the required documents to the PRC tax authority in charge of the PRC resident enterprise within 30 days after the equity transfer agreement is concluded. However, there is uncertainty as to the application of Circular 698. For example, while the term "indirectly transfer" is not defined, it is understood that the relevant PRC tax authorities have jurisdiction regarding requests for information over a wide range of foreign entities having no direct contact with China. Moreover, the relevant authority has not yet promulgated any formal provisions or formally declared or stated how to calculate the effective tax in the country or jurisdiction and to what extent and the process of the disclosure to the tax authority in charge of that Chinese resident enterprise.

F-20 The Companys subsidiary, LKA is incorporated in Hong Kong, and is subject to tax on income or capital gain under the current laws of the Hong Kong. LKA's subsidiaries are subject to income tax as described below. Hong Kong Taxation in the income statement represents the provision for Hong Kong profits tax for the period. Hong Kong profits tax is calculated at 16.5% of the estimated assessable profit for the period. The charge for current income tax is based on the results for the period as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed. Income tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, if the deferred tax arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss, it is not accounted for. The deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is recovered or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, tax losses and credits can be utilized. The People's Republic of China (PRC) Prior to January 1, 2008, LKA was governed by the previous Income Tax Law (the " Previous Tax Law") of China. Under the Previous Tax Law, LKA's PRC subsidiary, The Language Key China Ltd. was entitled various preferential tax treatments. On March 16, 2007, the National People's Congress passed the new Enterprise Income Tax law (the " new EIT law") which imposes a single income tax rate of 25% for most domestic enterprises and foreign investment enterprises. The new EIT law was effective as of January 1, 2008. The new EIT law provides a five-year transition period from its effective date for those enterprises which were established before March 16, 2007 and which were entitled to a preferential lower tax rate under the then effective tax laws or regulations, as well as grandfathering tax holidays. The new EIT Law also provides that an enterprise established under the laws of foreign countries or regions but whose "de facto management body" is located in the PRC be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes and consequently be subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% for its worldwide income. The Implementing Rules of the new EIT Law merely defines the location of the "de facto management body" as " the place where the exercising, in substance, of the overall management and control of the production and business operation, personnel, accounting, properties, etc., of a non-PRC company is located." On April 22, 2009, the PRC State Administration of Taxation further issued a notice entitled "Notice Regarding Recognizing Offshore-Established Enterprises Controlled by PRC Shareholders as Resident Enterprises Based on Their Place of Effective Management." Under this notice, a foreign company controlled by a PRC company or a group of PRC companies shall be deemed as a PRC resident enterprise, if (i) the senior management and the core management departments in charge of its daily operations mainly function in the PRC; (ii) its financial decisions and human resource decisions are subject to decisions or approvals of persons or institutions in the PRC; (iii) its major assets, accounting books, company seals, minutes and files of board meetings and shareholders' meetings are located or kept in the PRC; and (iv) more than half of the directors or senior management personnel with voting rights reside in the PRC. Based on a review of surrounding facts and circumstances, the Company does not believe that it is likely that its operations outside of the PRC should be considered a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. However, due to limited guidance and implementation history of the new EIT Law, should the Company be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes, the Company will be subject to PRC tax on worldwide income at a uniform tax rate of 25% retroactive to January 1, 2008. F-21 The new EIT Law also imposes a withholding income tax of 10% on dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside of China, if such immediate holding company is considered as a non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the received dividends have no connection with the establishment or place of such immediate holding company within China, unless such immediate holding companys jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. Such withholding income tax was exempted under the previous income tax regulations. LKAs subsidiary, The Language Key China Ltd., as an enterprise established in Shanghai, PRC, was entitled to a preferential enterprise tax rate of 18% prevailing in Pudong Economic Zone for all years before 2008, and the following preferential rates started on January 1, 2008:

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on January 1, 2007. The provisions clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with the standard Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The provisions of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions. In the event it receives an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it will be classified in the financial statements as tax expense. Based on the Companys evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. F-23
