NOTE 1 - BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc. (MKHD) (the Company or Successor Company) was incorporated as Auror Capital Corp. under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 16, 2006. On January 25, 2010, the Company filed an amendment and restatement to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company with the State of Nevada, which were approved by the Board of Directors on October 20, 2009 by written consent in lieu of a special meeting in accordance with the Nevada Corporation Law, changing its name to Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc. and increasing the number of authorized common and preferred shares.
The Company began as an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On January 23, 2009, the Company decided to abandon its mineral claim due to unsuccessful explorations to date and inability to attract investment capital to proceed with further exploration on the claim.
On July 27, 2009, the Company changed its business purpose from a mining and exploration company to an educational software development and sales company offering innovative and proprietary learning software products and teaching services. The Companys principal executive offices are now in Novi, Michigan.
On January 21, 2010, the Company executed a new exclusive Master Software License Agreement with Mount Knowledge Inc., a corporation owned by the Companys founder and present Chairman and director based in Ontario, Canada, wherein the Company was granted the exclusive world-wide license rights to promote, market and sell any and all of Mount Knowledge Inc.s products, both existing and future. These existing products consist of patent pending Real Time Learning and Self Improvement Educational System and Method software application referred to as Syntality. During December 2010, Company acquired 100% ownership interest in the intellectual property and the license agreement was cancelled.
On October 19, 2010, the Company formed Mount Knowledge Asia Ltd. (MKA), a Hong Kong corporation (wholly owned by the Company) for the purposes of facilitating the acquisition of Language Key Asia Ltd and to acquire other business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) business interests throughout Asia.
On December 16, 2010, the Company acquired 490,000 shares of common stock of Mount Knowledge Technologies, Inc., an Ontario corporation (f/k/a 1827281 Ontario Inc.) (MTK Tech) for a purchase price of $490, representing 49% ownership interest in MTK Tech with the remaining 51% ownership interest of MTK Tech owned and held by Ucandu Learning Centres Inc., an Ontario corporation, controlled by a director of the Company. MTK Tech provides software development services for the Company pursuant to an executed Services Agreement dated December 1, 2010 with Mount Knowledge USA, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company.
On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired, via MKA, 100% ownership of Language Key Asia Ltd. (LKA or Predecessor Company), a Hong Kong corporation formed in October 2010 as a holding company for ownership interests in business-to-business operations in Asia.
LKA was established to centralize the administrative, governance, management, and financing for the Language Key Group of companies (LK Group), all of which are wholly-owned by LKA, which consists of Language Key Corporate Training Solutions Ltd. (a Hong Kong corporation, and formerly The Language Key China Ltd., established on August 21, 2002, LKCTS), The Language Key Training Ltd. (a Hong Kong corporation established on March 21, 2003, LKTR), and The Language Key China Ltd. (a Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprise registered in Shanghai, China established on October 11, 2002, LKCH), and Language Key Publishing Ltd. (established on January 11, 2011, LKPUB).
LKA was established to facilitate the acquisition of the LK Group by the Company and to be the vehicle into which to receive equity capital contributions from the Company. On December 31, 2010, the shareholders of LKA executed a share exchange agreement with the Company.
The LK Group provides custom business English and communications skills courses, soft skills workshops, executive coaching and other related services to public and private sector clients, including government entities in Hong Kong and Mainland China and Fortune 500 corporations.
Upon the completion of the Language Key Asia Acquisition, LKA became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company no longer qualified as a development stage enterprise as defined under SFAS No. 7 Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.

(b)
100% ownership interest of LKPUB
Basis of Presentation
On December 31, 2010, the Company changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31.
The unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Companys financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys December 31, 2010 Form 10-K/A. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnote disclosures, which would substantially duplicate that contained in the Companys December 31, 2010 financial statements, have been omitted. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 2011.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S, generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP). The Companys functional currency is US dollar. The LK Groups functional currencies are the Chinese Renminbi (RMB¥) and Hong Kong dollar (HKD$); however the accompanying unaudited financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars (USD$).
The financial statements have, in managements opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
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.
10
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results may differ from the estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The exchange rates used for foreign currency translation were as follows (USD$1 = RMB):
Period Covered | Balance Sheet Date Rates | Average Rates |
|
|
|
Year ended December 31, 2010 | 6.61201 | 6.75950 |
Quarter ended June 30, 2011 | 6.46621 | 6.54879 |
Quarter ended June 30, 2010 | 6.79348 | 6.83527 |
The exchange rates used for foreign currency translation were as follows (USD$1 = HKD):
Period Covered | Balance Sheet Date Rates | Average Rates |
|
|
|
Year ended December 31, 2010 | 7.80000 | 7.80000 |
Quarter ended June 30, 2011 | 7.80000 | 7.80000 |
Quarter ended June 30, 2010 | 7.80000 | 7.80000 |
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period for the comparative purposes.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred net loss of $1,463,940 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and had a working capital deficit of $825,337 as of June 30, 2011. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and become successful in marketing products under the license agreement described above. Management has plans to seek additional capital through debt, and private and public offerings of its common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY (DEFICIT)

11
On February 4, 2011, the Company issued a total of 241,380 shares of restricted common stock for services rendered by a contractor to the Company pursuant to an executed consulting agreement. The fair value of the services received during this period was calculated as the market price at the date of grant and the date service is provided with a total value of $63,276.

The grant date fair value was $96,000 and $48,000 of this amount (240,000 shares) was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Tentative Settlement of Employee Dispute
Subsequent to the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company and a former employee tentatively agreed to an approximately $31,000 settlement to a dispute over past compensation, however, as of the date of this filing, the final terms had not been determined. The Company included this amount in its liability as of June 30, 2011 as the dispute is related to period prior to June 30, 2011.
Letter of Intent
On May 27, 2011, the Company entered into a letter of intent with C 2 Technologies, Inc. (C 2) for the purchase by the Company of all of the outstanding capital stock of C 2 for $15 million to be paid at the time of closing. The letter of intent also provides for an additional payment by the Company to the C 2 shareholders equal to five times C 2 s 2011 earnings before interest taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) less $15 million, not to exceed $8.5 million. The letter of intent provides for an earn-out payment payable to the C 2 shareholders in an amount equal to 35% of C 2 s EBIDTA for fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014.
The completion of the acquisition will be dependent upon the satisfactory completion of due diligence, the execution of definitive transaction agreements, receipt of all necessary government approvals and material third-party consents and other conditions, including, the ability of the Company to obtain financing. A definitive purchase agreement was anticipated to be completed on or before August 1, 2011. However, to date no definitive agreement has been entered into by the parties and it is possible that the parties will not finalize such an agreement by such date, if at all.
Execution of Institutional Financing Term Sheet
On May 16, 2011, the Company and Westor Capital Group, Inc. (Westor), a licensed broker-dealer, executed a term sheet whereby Westor would be the placement agent for a possible capital raise, under certain "to be defined" terms and conditions at closing. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had terminated the agreement with Westor due to irreconcilable differences on exclusivity terms.
On December 31, 2010, the Company and MKA, its wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a subscription agreement with LKA for the purchase by the Company of MKA of 10,000,000 shares of Ordinary B stock of LKA for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000, which is due over 12 months. As of the date of this filing, the Company has fulfilled $215,000 of its $1,000,000 stock subscription in LKA; however, the Company has also advanced approximately $225,000 in loans to Language Key Training Solutions, Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LKA, which the Company intends to offset against the total $1,000,000 purchase price in the next fiscal quarter.
On December 31, 2010, the Company, in connection with its acquisition of LKA, agreed to pay an amount of $66,960 to Foxglove International Enterprises (Foxglove) for the transfer of the Language Key trademark from Foxglove to LKA.

NOTE 7 INCOME TAX
United States
The Company incorporated in United States, and is subject to tax on income or capital gain under the current laws of the United States.
Taxation in the income statement represents the provision for US profits tax for the period. US profits tax is calculated at 34% of the estimated assessable profit for the tax period.
Hong Kong

The People's Republic of China (PRC)
Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (EIT) law has replaced the old laws for Domestic Enterprises (DES) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (FIEs). The new standard EIT rate of 25% replaces the 33% rate applicable to both DES and FIEs.
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:

Plan of Operations
Over the 12-month of 2011, we must raise capital and complete certain milestones as described below:
Milestones
First and Second Quarter - 2011
In the first and second quarter of 2011, the Company completed the integration of the Companys newly acquired subsidiaries, LKA and its operational subsidiaries in Hong Kong and China and MTK USA in the US, acquired on December 31, 2010. As a result of the integration, the Company now has operations in Novi, Michigan, Toronto, Canada, Hong Kong, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen, China. Additionally, the U.S. GAAP audited financial statements for MTK USA and LKA, individually, were filed in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated March 25, 2011 and March 29, 2011, respectively, and consolidated financials were filed in the Current Report on Form 10K/A dated April 15, 2011.
Furthermore, during the first and second quarter of 2011, MTK USA raised approximately $552,165 in equity and converted approximately $719,354 in debt into equity in MTK USA.
During the first and second quarter of 2011, the Companys management focused its efforts on an acquisition strategy to acquire synergistic companies in the language learning and training business sector. The Companys first target market for 2011 was the vast English learning China market and other Asian territories, with a long-term vision of expanding into other world markets in 2012. However, on May 27, 2011, the Company entered into a letter of intent with C 2 for the purchase by the Company of all of the outstanding capital stock of C 2 for $15 million to be paid at the time of closing.
C² provides training, strategic human capital management, mission-critical support services, and information technology solutions to meet the specific needs of its civilian, defense, and private-industry clients. To date, the parties have not entered into a definitive agreement and it is possible that the parties will not finalize such an agreement prior to the closing date of November 1, 2011, if at all. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully negotiate and consummate the C² transaction or the acquisition of any other target that it identifies.
18
Also during the second quarter of 2011, LKA conducted and completed User Acceptance Testing (UAT) of its new E-Learning platform, ECO-Learning (ECO). More than 40 clients participated in UAT, which officially concluded at the end of July. LKAs objectives of UAT were to get feedback from its clients as it finalized the first commercial version of ECO, as well as to jump start the sales process by essentially having in excess of 40 potential purchasers of the product at the commencement of its commercialization in August. The official commercialization of ECO is set to begin on or about September 1, 2011 and no sales have been made as of the date of this filing.
During the second quarter of 2011, the Company anticipated a capital raise between $2,500,000 and $5,000,000 to finance its operations and acquisition strategy and to complete our commitment to fund a total of $1,000,000 in additional growth capital to LKA for 2011. To date, the Company has been unsuccessful in obtaining the necessary financing to meet all its current obligations, however, the Company was able to raise approximately $552,165 in equity financing. As a result of such financings, the Company has funded a total of approximately $440,000 to LKA against the funding commitment in equity payments and other advances, as of June 30, 2011.
The Company continues to seek additional financing to meet it operational obligations and to further its acquisition plans. In doing so, the Company anticipates the need to raise approximately $20 million in debt and/or equity to consummate on the C 2 transaction on or before November 1, 2011. Besides, the original amount of financing anticipated, the Company might seek additional funding as deemed necessary by our management. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us on terms that are acceptable or at all.
Third and Fourth Quarters - 2011
In the third and fourth quarters of 2011, the Company plans to consummate the C 2 transaction and, through LKA, begin commercial sales of its new E-Learning platform, ECO-Learning. With respect to ECO, LKA has begun to market the product to its clients in Greater China, as well as to resellers in other parts of Asia and Europe. While ECO is first being marketed as a B2B solution, LKA expects to offer it B2C in selected markets.
With the planned acquisition of C² and the commercial launch of ECO, the Company expects to realize an expanded set of objectives that includes 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:
1.
Business Enterprise Applications (Corporations, Schools and Government Agencies). With the 2010 acquisition of LKA, we foresee the use of the our products and services as a learning solution for schools, government agencies, healthcare facilities, and corporations to provide an enhanced, interactive learning program to facilitate new job skills training and continual education programs. Therefore, we intend to develop product-specific enhancements to our existing products and services for use in various business applications. It is likely that most of the product enhancements for business applications will be in the form of client-specific modifications based upon requests for customized specifications and functionality. As such, we anticipate that some of the costs for these modifications will be borne by each respective client. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately determine the upfront costs attributable to us for any research and development of business enterprise applications.
2.
Product Enhancements, Membership Program and Technology Partners. Subject to the successful launch of our products and services in the US, Canada, and Asia, we plan to provide product enhancements consistent with perceived customer requirements for other world markets. Most of these enhancements are believed by management to be in the form of updated graphics, to enhance the fluidity of the user experience and interface, and some market-specific content. In addition, we foresee a web-based e-learning membership program with recurring monthly fee based revenues as being one of the more important and lucrative long-term revenue models for us. It is difficult to accurately estimate the total cost involved in the design and development of this program, including the time required to implement such a program. Furthermore, we will seek to identify and develop relationships with globally recognized technology providers and OEMs to pursue the possibility of bundling the Mount Knowledge products and services with established product platforms, including mobile applications (PDA) to provide the Company with an ancillary revenue stream. We see this as a potentially significant opportunity to generate revenues, if the Company can successfully demonstrated the desirability of the Knowledge Generator product with its initial audience and market(s).
3.
New Business Development and Marketing (Additional Partnerships and Distribution Channels). We will also pursue our business development and marketing efforts in other territories of Asia, and in the North American and European markets
19
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, as evident in the first and second quarter of 2011, the Company may find the need to modify any or all of the milestones listed in subsequent yearly quarters, 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), the Company will need to raise capital in an amount between $10 and $20 million over the remaining 6 months 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.
The Company anticipates the need to raise additional capital for the next 6 months of operations, subject to the successful implementation of our initial milestones over the next 90 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.
The Company 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 June 30, 2011, we had $103,031 in cash, $168,232 in accounts receivables, and $211,587 in unbilled revenue. We had revenues of $974,330 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. 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 the Company will continue to generate sales revenue comparable to 2010 for the remainder of 2011, 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.
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 might be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors in our common stock would lose all of their investment.
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 and grow the Company organically or through subsequent acquisitions.

Revenues
The Company generates revenue, through its wholly owned subsidiary, LKA. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $534,045 compared to revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 of $484,856, an increase of $49,189, or 10%. Respectively, the revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $974,330 compared to revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $813,784, an increase of $160,546, or 20%. The increase is mainly due to higher sales in the first and second quarter of 2011 compared to sales in the first and second quarter of 2010.
Cost of goods sold is primarily composed of the costs of the Companys trainers as well as materials and transportation expenses associated with delivering training courses. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $279,980 compared to cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2010 of $208,023, an increase of 35%. Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $520,806 compared to cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $379,087, an increase of 37%.
Gross profit is calculated by deducting cost of goods sold from revenues and ranges from 47% to 57%, depending on the nature of the specific courses sold and the contract terms negotiated. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 48% compared to gross profit for the three months ended on June 30, 2010 of 57%, a decrease of 9%. Respectively, the gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 47% compared to gross profit for the six months ended on June 30, 2010 of 53%, a decrease of 6%.

The following table represents operating costs and expenses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:
Operating costs and expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $956,505 compared to $ 152,164 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, an increase of 529% and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $1,935,620 compared to $ 375,741 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of 415%. This increase is due to both the impact of corporate decisions made in the third and fourth quarters of 2010 for expansion in 2011 and beyond, as well as additional costs incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to audit fees, maintaining compliance as a publicly reporting company, and the development of the ECO-Learning platform. In addition, the increase in operating expenses in the first six months of 2011 compared to the first three and six months of 2010, reflects expenses related to initiatives and changes at LKA that became effective after the first quarter of 2010. Specifically, during the third and fourth quarters of 2010, LKA opened a new office in Guangzhou, hired additional key staff in each of its offices, increasing the salaries of key personnel, outsourced its monthly bookkeeping and accounting functions, and invested in systems and personnel to develop the content for ECO-Learning. The costs related to aforementioned are expected to be ongoing as LKA builds out its infrastructure for growth. Also, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, LKA incurred costs related to the initial launch of ECO learning, including technical, promotional, and legal. LKA expects to incur future costs related to ECO as it builds the business unit going forward.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our main sources of liquidity and capital resources for fiscal 2011 will be cash on hand, internally generated cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2011, we had cash on hand of $ 103,031, $ 168,232 in accounts receivables, and $ 211,587 in unbilled revenue and negative working capital as a result of added operational expenses due to acquisition integration costs and the development and release of a new product line.

We anticipate that we will incur a minimum of $ 500,000 for operating expenses in the next quarter. Accordingly, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan.
Cash Used In Operating Activities
We used cash in operating activities in the amount of $ 942,584 during the six month period ended June 30, 2011 and $ 82,146 during the six month period ended June 30, 2010. Cash used in operating activities was funded by cash from operating revenues and financing activities.
Cash From Investing Activities
We received cash in investment activities in the amount of $ 25,132 during the six month period ended June 30, 2011 and $ 12,381 cash from investing activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2010.
Cash from Financing Activities
We generated $ 722,804 cash from financing activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2011 and used $ 0 during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
For the period from January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2011, the Company incurred net losses aggregating $ 1,543,218. 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 future operating expenses and the capital expenses in their report on the financial statements for the year period 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.
23
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 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.
The financial statements have been prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
a) Exploration Stage Activities and Mineral Property Interests
Until abandonment of its mineral property on January 23, 2009, the Company was an exploration stage mining company and had not realized any revenue from its operations. It was primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties.
b) Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk
The fair value of financial instruments, which consist of cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, 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.
c) Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (formerly SFAS 128), 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. Diluted earnings per share excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants at fair value in accordance with EITF 00 19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Practically Settled in, a Companys Own Stock, (codified in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ). The Black-Scholes option pricing valuation method is used to determine fair value of these warrants. Use of this method requires that the Company make assumptions regarding stock volatility, dividend yields, expected term of the warrants and risk-free rates.
d) Foreign Currency Translation
24
The Companys functional currency is now the U.S. dollar. In the fiscal year 2009, the functional currency was the Canadian dollar.
Transactions in Canadian currency are translated into U.S. dollars as follows:
i)
monetary items at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;
ii)
non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate;
iii)
revenue and expense at the average rate in effect during the applicable accounting period.
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.
g) 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.
h) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations are recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amount. In such cases, the amount of the impairment is determined based on the relative fair values of the impaired assets.
i) Treasury Stock
Common stock repurchases are recorded as treasury stock at cost.
On forward stock split-ups, the number of all common shares disclosed in the financial statements is adjusted to give retroactive effect to such recapitalizations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-5, Comprehensive Income. This ASU amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, and requires the presentation of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. We are currently evaluating the single statement versus two consecutive statement approach.

Each Warrant is exercisable for 1,200,000 shares of the Companys common stock at, provided that such shares have vested prior to the time of exercise. Each Warrant becomes vested in three equal annual installments commencing on December 31, 2011, provided that the applicable Independent Contractor Agreement is not terminated prior to the applicable vesting date.

The Shares and Warrants were issued in reliance on exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. These transactions qualified for exemption from registration because among other things, the transactions did not involve a public offering, each investor was an accredited investor and/or qualified institutional buyer, each investor had access to information about the Company and their investment, each investor took the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.
The foregoing disclosure is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Independent Contractor Agreements (Exhibits 10.1, 10.3, and 10.5) and the Warrant Agreements (Exhibits 10.2, 10.4, and 10.6) filed as exhibits to this Report and incorporated herein by reference.
