The Company is a platform company that was established for purpose of acquiring and operating market-leading global technology development companies. The Company currently has no subsidiaries.
Mission and Vision
The Companys mission is to acquire and operate innovative technology companies and become a global provider of market-leading technologies.
Operations and Revenues
The Company is currently a development stage company and does not current have any operations, and therefore no revenues.
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 obtain revenue growth; (d) ability to develop new partnerships and distribution channels; (e) launching new marketing and sales strategies; (h) generating adequate cash flow from the sales of the products and services, once acquired, 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 $500,000 to $2.5 million in equity from restricted stock sales or other acceptable financing options over the remaining 9 months of year-ending 2014 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 next 9 months of operations, subject to the successful implementation of our initial milestones over the last 180 days of operations of 2014 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) legal, audit, SEC filings and compliance fees; (b) working capital (general and administrative); (c) financing costs; (d) acquisition research and due diligence; (e) new business development and marketing; and (f) reserve capital for costs of acquisition and market expansion.
Competition
The Company conducts its business in an environment that is highly competitive and unpredictable. 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.
Due to the Companys current position (seeking acquisition targets), the Company does not current have any direct competitors at this time, however, this does not necessarily mean competition does not exist in terms of bidding for the same acquisitions targets.
Employees
Currently, we have no employees in the Company, except for three (3) advisors which one of them is the sole Officer and Director of the Company. Each of the advisors spends on an average of forty percent (40%) of their available time on Company matters.
Other than engaging and/or retaining independent consultants to assist us 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 to complete one or more acquisitions. Currently, our officers / directors do not have any employment agreements with us.
Subsidiaries
We do not have any operating subsidiaries.
Intellectual Property
We do not currently own any intellectual property.
22
Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights
We do not currently have any filed patents, trademarks or copyrights.

Dividend Policy
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
1.
We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
2.
Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report. Our audited financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
Company Overview
Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc. is a software development and sales company focused on providing innovative technology solutions to the global marketplace.
For more details on the Company and its operations, please refer to History and Company Overview sections in Item 1. Business section, hereinabove in this filing.
Plan of Operations
Over the remaining 9-months of 2014 we must raise capital and complete certain milestones as described below.
Milestones
The Company anticipates identifying and completing one or more acquisitions and/or mergers over the next 6-12 months, beginning in the second quarter of 2014, for the purposes of obtaining operations and revenues.
Requirements and Utilization of Funds
To implement our plan of operations, including some or all of the above described milestones (objectives), we anticipate the need to continue to raise capital (equity) in an amount between $500K and $2.5 million in equity from restricted stock sales or other acceptable financing options over the remaining 9 months of 2014 on terms and conditions to be determined. Management may elect to seek subsequent interim or bridge financing in the form of debt (corporate loans) as may be necessary.
Proceed
We foresee the proceeds from capital raised to be allocated as follows: (a) legal, audit, SEC filings and compliance fees; (b) working capital (general and administrative); (c) financing costs; (d) acquisition research and due diligence; (e) new business development and marketing; and (f) reserve capital for costs of acquisition and market expansion.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2013, we had $8 cash and cash equivalents. We had limited operations to date and we did not have any revenues during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013. We are illiquid and need cash infusions from investors and/or current shareholders to support our proposed marketing and sales operations.
29
Management believes this amount will 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 revenues within the next twelve (12) months, from acquisitions, but that these sales revenues may 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 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 we have not generated any revenues and no substantial revenues are anticipated in the near-term. 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, 2013 which are included herein.
Our operating results for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively are summarized as follows:

General and Administrative
The increase in our general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 was primarily due to extra-ordinary professional fees related to the completion of past due required SEC filings as a fully-reporting pubic company. For the purposes of this disclosure, general and administrative fees include the Companys 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. 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 2014, as we are subject to the reporting obligations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

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 $(82,325) during the year ended December 31, 2013 and $(380,954) during the year ended December 31, 2012. Cash used in operating activities was funded by cash from financing activities. The decrease in operating activities in 2012 compared to 2011 was due to the disposal of all the Companys operating subsidiaries.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
We used net cash in investing activities in the amount of $2,100 during the year ended December 31, 2013 and $(2,100) was used or provided in investing activities during the years ended December 31, 2012.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
We generated $80,000 net cash from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to net cash from financing activities in the amount of $322,000 during the year ended December 31, 2012. Cash generated by financing activities during 2013 is attributable mainly to capital stock sales, issued notes, and related party borrowings of $80,000. The decrease in the net cash from financing activities in 2013 compared to 2012 was due to the disposal of all the Companys operating subsidiaries during 2012 and 2013.
Disclosure of Outstanding Share Data
As of December 31, 2013, we had 198,666,975 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
33
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 not generated 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, 2013, we had accumulated losses of $9,066,574 since inception and a working capital deficit of $1,881,024. 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, 2013, 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.
The financial statements have been prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
34
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.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012
36
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Mount Knowledge Holding, Inc. (A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Mount Knowledge Holding, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statement of operations and other comprehensive loss, stockholders deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was 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 Company's 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 2, the Company has had no revenues and accumulated deficit of $9,066,574 as of December 31, 2013. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in the financial statements, which includes the raising of additional equity financing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MOUNT KNOWLEDGE HOLDINGS, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc. (MKHD, or 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.
On February 24, 2012, MKA sold 100% ownership interest of LKTR. After the LKTR sale, the corporate structure of the Company consisted of the following:
(a)
100% ownership interest of MKA;
(b)
66.47% ownership interest of MTK USA
Beginning April 1, 2012, the Company became classified as a development stage company.
On December 28, 2012, the Company sold its remaining subsidiary companies, comprising MKA and MTK USA
At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the corporate structure of the Company consisted of only its own corporate accounts, with no ownership in any subsidiary companies.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying 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$); however the accompanying financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars (USD$).
Development Stage Activities
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 915 and Securities and Exchange Commission Act Guide 7 for its characterization of the company as a development stage enterprise.
Use of Estimates
In preparing these financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those 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.
44
Basic and Diluted Earnings (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. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had 33,155,046 shares of outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock that were dilutive and included in the diluted earnings per share computation, and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding exceeds the Companys authorized common shares amounted to 200,000,000 shares.
Foreign Currency Translation
Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc.s functional currency is the U.S. dollar.
While Language Key Asia Ltd. presents its 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;
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.
Comprehensive Income
The Company had 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.
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.
45
Derivative Liability
Pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, on March 31, 2011 and at the end of subsequent quarterly periods, the Company recorded mark-to-market adjustments based on the fair value of the derivative liability on those dates, which resulted in a change of $1,299,630 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The fair value of the derivative liability was determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model, using the following data and assumptions:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted
Effective January 2013, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). The amendments in ASU 2011-11 require the disclosure of information on offsetting and related arrangements for financial and derivative instruments to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Amendments under ASU 2011-11 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
46
Effective January 2013, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive (ASU 2013-02). This guidance is the culmination of the FASBs deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
-
Not Adopted
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The amendments in ASU 2013-04 provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this Update is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in this Update also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The amendment in this standard is effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We are evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2013-04 will have on our financial statements.
In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07, Presentation of Financial Statements (Top 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The objective of ASU No. 2013-07 is to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting and to provide principles for the measurement of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting, as well as any required disclosures. The amendments in this standard is effective prospectively for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. We are evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2013-07 will have on our financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Top 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The objective of ASU No. 2013-11 is to provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments in this standard is effective for all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists for fiscal years, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. We are evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 will have on our financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Companys present or future financial statements.
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 has had no revenues and had a working capital deficit of $2,584,996 and accumulated deficit of $9,066,574 as of December 31, 2013. 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 as a going concern.

Note 9 Income Taxes
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. Prior to the acquisitions of MKT USA and Language Key Asia Ltd, the Company had minimal operations and generated no revenue. Consequently, the Company incurred net operating losses through December 31, 2012 and continued for 2013.
Hong Kong
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.
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)
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 company s 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.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive and principal financial officers have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a 15(e) and 15d 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the SECs rules and forms and that the information is gathered and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our principal executive officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
| 1. | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
| 2. | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and |
| 3. | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as a result of the identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company's internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring.
Based on our evaluation and consideration of the material weaknesses identified below, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2013, due to (i) insufficiently qualified accounting and other finance personal with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience, and (ii) lack of documented policies and procedures on monitoring of transactions to ensure that they are accurately recorded, timely analyzed and reconciled to supporting documentation. We currently do not have the funds and resources to remedy our control deficiencies.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to Rule 308(b) of Regulation S-K, which permits the Company to provide only managements report in this Annual Report.
57
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting in our most recent fiscal quarter.
