The following summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read the entire prospectus before making an investment decision relating to the purchase of our shares of common stock.
OUR BUSINESS
We were incorporated as Auror Capital Corp. under the laws of Nevada on March 16, 2006. We began as an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On January 23, 2009, we decided to abandon our Katrina mineral claim due to our unsuccessful explorations to date and our inability to attract investment capital to proceed with further exploration on the claim.
On July 27, 2009 , we entered into an exclusive licensing agreement (“License Agreement”) with Mount Knowledge™, Inc., a corporation based out of Ontario, Canada (“MtK”), and its founder, Erwin Sniedzins (“Sniedzins”) wherein we were granted exclusive world-wide license to all intellectual property owned by MtK (“MtK Products”) for the purposes of promoting, marketing and selling MtK products. A copy of the License Agreement is included with this Prospectus as Exhibit 10.2.
Mount Knowledge Inc. was established in Toronto, Canada, in 2005 and provides Real Time interactive Self-Learning multi-media content enablers (“RTSL”) that help to turn information into knowledge up to 300% faster than traditional methods. Its patent pending “e-learning engine” takes a third party’s dormant textual content and automatically creates exercises, tests and scores to enable learners to acquire knowledge faster than passive (rote) learning methods.
Mount Knowledge markets are Corporation’s Training departments and the more than 630 million students who are studying ESL (English as a Second Language), TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) as well as enhancing any third party textual content that a student or employee wants or needs to learn from books, internet and articles. This learning engine solution is being used by students from elementary, high school to colleges and MBA courses.
In consideration for the licensing rights granted by the License Agreement, we have agreed to pay MtK and Sniedzins, collectively, a royalty of eight percent (8%) of gross sales received by us, adjusted for direct costs of sales, commissions and/or franchise fees, related to the sale of MtK products, if applicable, if such costs have not already been deducted or accounted for in the gross sales amount.
We anticipate that we will require additional financing in order to effectively market MtK products pursuant to the License Agreement. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to acquire the financing necessary to enable us to pursue our plan of operation. If our company requires additional financing and we are unable to acquire such funds, our business may fail.
We have no revenues, have achieved losses since inception, have been issued a going concern opinion by our auditors and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund operations. Accordingly, we will be dependent on future additional financing in order to maintain our operations.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our shares of common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock, when and if we trade at a later date, could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
We are a development stage company with a limited operating history that makes it impossible to reliably predict future growth and operating results.
We have not been able to achieve profitable operations and there are no assurances that we will be able to do so in the future. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by a new enterprise and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The potential for future success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the development of a business in general. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and there can be no assurance that we will generate significant operating revenues in the future or ever achieve profitable operations.
We are dependent on third-party manufacturers and suppliers, over whom we have very limited control.
The Company is currently dependent on one or more third-party manufactures and/or suppliers to perform its services. The Company does maintain limited written agreements with thirty party manufacturers or suppliers due to market-specific development, accordingly, such third party manufacturers and/or suppliers could terminate their relationship with the Company at any time. Moreover, the Company is dependent on the ability of the third-party manufacturers to adhere to the Company’s product licensing guidelines, price and quality specifications and scheduling requirements. Any delays in manufacturers scheduling, commitments or product supplies would adversely affect the Company’s ability to deliver the product to the market on a timely basis. The Company is subject to risks of periodic price fluctuations, shortages and delays which could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of the Company’s operations; and ultimately operating margins. In addition, in some cases, the Company may not be able to increase the price of its product to offset increases in the cost of certain supplies and raw materials, which are generally passed through to the customer. Further, if any of the suppliers seek bankruptcy relief or otherwise cannot continue their business as anticipated, the availability or price of raw materials or supplies could be adversely affected. Failure by certain suppliers to continue to supply the Company with raw materials or supplies on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our future success is dependent on technology developments and our ability to adapt to these and other technological changes and to meet evolving industry standards.
Our ability to execute our strategy of marketing MtK products and generating the related expected revenues is dependent on the development and maintenance of technology as well as the MtK’s ability to adapt to changes in technology.
Page 7
We may encounter difficulties responding to these and other technological changes that could delay our introduction of products and services. Software industries are characterized by rapid technological change and obsolescence, frequent product introduction, and evolving industry standards. Our future success will, to a significant extent, depend on the ability to enhance MtK’s existing products, develop and introduce new products, satisfy an expanded range of customer needs, and achieve market acceptance. We may not have sufficient resources to make the necessary investments to develop and implement the technological advances required to maintain our competitive position.
Misuse or misappropriation of our proprietary rights or inadvertent infringement by us on the rights of others could adversely affect our results of operations.
We regard our exclusive license to MtK’s intellectual property rights as essential to our business. We rely on a combination of the laws of copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, as well as license agreements, employment and employment termination agreements, third-party non-disclosure agreements, and other methods to protect those proprietary rights. If either MtK or the Company is unsuccessful in protecting these rights, our operating results could be adversely affected.
Although we believe MtK Products and services have been independently developed and that none of our products or services infringes on the rights of others, third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future. We may, then be required to cease selling certain MtK Products, services or technologies. We may not be able to do so in a timely manner or upon reasonable terms and conditions. Failure to do so could harm our business and operating results.
If we do launch planned marketing initiatives, our target consumer market may not be receptive to the software and/or the cost of the product may be prohibitive.
No assurance can be given that MtK products covered by the License Agreement will be widely accepted by consumers in countries outside the United States, and we have not engaged in any preliminary test marketing program. In the event there is no general market acceptance in the product by consumers, or the price point is too high as compared to the competition, it is unlikely that we will be able to sustain commercial operations. If there is no demand or only a limited demand for the products, we could financially fail and our shareholders could potentially lose there entire investment.
Distributors and dealers may not wish to carry MtK products if we fail to meet their standards.
It is possible that we will not be able to secure agreements with established distributors and dealers in the United States and in other countries worldwide unless the products are accepted and purchased by consumers and significant sales are generated. The lack of distributor and dealer support will dramatically impact our ability to operate.
We may be unable to establish new distributors or dealers if our performance with those channels during our initial launch does not demonstrate a level of opportunity consistent with their standards.
We are not currently well financed to launch MtK products on a large scale worldwide. Therefore, initially the products will be offered on a regional basis in China. We will attempt to enter into agreements with established distributors and dealers throughout China. If MtK products are not accepted by the consumers in the initial marketing area or if we are not able to secure agreements with qualified distributors or dealers in this region, it is highly unlikely that it will be able to secure distributors and dealers in other countries.
Page 8
As a result of our limited operating history, we may not be able to correctly estimate our future operating expenses, which could lead to cash shortfalls.
We have no operating history in the area of marketing and selling educational software from which to evaluate our business. We have not generated revenue to date. Accordingly, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in an early stage of development. We may not be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Because of this limited operating history and because of the emerging nature of the markets in which we compete, our historical financial data is of no value in estimating future operating expenses. Our budgeted expense levels are based in part on our expectations concerning future revenues. However, our ability to generate revenues depends on purchase orders generated by us.
The size of any future revenues initially depends on the choices and demands of individual consumers residing in the country of China, which are difficult to forecast accurately. We may be unable to adjust our operations in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in revenues. Accordingly, a significant shortfall in demand for MtK Products could have an immediate and material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We are a development stage company, have never earned any revenues, and have incurred net loss and accumulated deficit during the development stage. There is no guarantee that we will ever earn a profit.
We are a development stage company since we have not generated any revenues since March 16, 2006 (inception), through April 30, 2009. Rather, we incurred a net loss, and have an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $147,177 from March 16, 2006 (inception), through April 30, 2009. We do not currently have any revenue producing operations. We are not currently operating profitably, and it should be anticipated that it will operate at a loss at least until such as up until the production stage is reached, if production is, in fact, ever achieved.
If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms and dates acceptable to us, we may not be able to expand or continue our operations and development and so may be forced to scale back or cease operations or discontinue our business. You could lose your entire investment.
We will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income. We are an early stage company and we have not realized any revenues to date. As of April 30, 2009, we had cash-on-hand in the amount of $117. We have not generated any revenue to date. Given the recent rate at which we use cash in our operations, as well as the likelihood that our cash burn rate will increase once commence operations on the executed MtK licensing agreement, we do not have sufficient capital to carry on operations, and we will need to raise at least $500,000 in a private placement offering to meet our financial commitments for at least the next twelve months. There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising these funds or generate these funds from the sales of MtK products. In the event were are successful, there is no assurance that the terms and conditions of these funds will be in the best interest of our company or our shareholders. We do not have any arrangements for financing and we may not be able to find such financing if required. We will need to obtain additional financing to operate our business for the next twelve months, and if we do not, our business will fail. We will raise the capital necessary to fund our business through a private
Page 9
offering of our common stock or units consisting of common stock and stock purchase warrants. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance of our business strategy, its technology and investor sentiment. These factors may adversely affect the timing, amount, terms, or conditions of any financing that we may obtain or make any additional financing unavailable to us.
We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors we will be able to find such financing when such funding is required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance of our product and our business model. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we will not incur further debt in the future, that we will have sufficient funds to repay our future indebtedness, or that we will not default on our future debts, thereby jeopardizing our business viability. Finally, we may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet our needs or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to maintain our operations, which might result in the loss of some or all of your investment in our common stock.
Our company anticipates that the funds that were raised from our previous private placement will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve month period. Also, there is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. In particular, additional capital may be required in the event that:
| 1. |
we incur unexpected costs in our regard to marketing MtK product in China; | |
| 2. |
we are unable to create a substantial market for MtK products; | |
| 3. |
we incur any significant unanticipated expenses; and | |
| 4. |
we find that we need to spend additional funds to educate the market and promote the new products. |
The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could prevent us from pursuing our business plan, expanding our business operations and ultimately achieving a profitable level of operations.
We depend almost exclusively on outside capital to pay for the continued development of our business and the marketing of MtK Products. Such outside capital may include the sale of additional stock, shareholder and director advances and/or commercial borrowing. There can be no assurance that capital will continue to be available if necessary to meet these continuing development costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to us. The issuance of additional equity securities by us will 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.
If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may not be able to expand or continue sales of the product in the Chinese market and/or other international markets opened, and so may be forced to scale back or cease operations or discontinue business.
There are many competitors in our market and we may not be able to effectively compete against them.
The business of marketing language education software is highly competitive. This market segment includes numerous manufacturers, distributors, marketers and retailers that actively compete in the
Page 10
educational software business. In addition, the market is highly sensitive to the introduction of new products that may rapidly capture a significant share of the market. As a result, our ability to remain competitive depends in part upon its successful introduction and end user acceptance of a new product.
We have no operating history that makes an evaluation of our business difficult.
Our lack of operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and prospects or to accurately predict our future revenues or results of operations. Our business model, and accordingly our revenue and income potential, is new and unproven. In addition, early-stage companies are subject to risks and difficulties frequently encountered in new and rapidly evolving markets.
We have a new and unproven business model, a new technology and may not generate sufficient revenues for our business to survive or be successful.
Our business model is based on the commercial viability of copy written educational software developed by Mount Knowledge, Inc. The educational software products have been previously marketed or test marketed in China on a limited basis. In order for our business to be successful, we must not only develop viable marketing channels that directly generate revenues, but also provide educational content to end users to create demand for MtK Products. Our business model assumes that end users in many markets will see the value of MtK educational software and we will be able to generate revenues through sales to end users in China through various sales and marketing arrangements with local and regional companies. Each of these assumptions is unproven, and if any of the assumptions are incorrect, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenues to sustain our business or to obtain profitability. At the present time, we have only one contract, arrangement or agreement with a sales and marketing / distributor firm in China which has been assigned to us from Mount Knowledge, Inc However, due to limited sales in China thus far, we are uncertain as to the ability by said sales and marketing / distributor firm to meet the contractual sales comments agreed to over the next five (5) years.
Because of our limited resources and the speculative nature of our business, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to operate as a going concern.
Our continued operations are dependent on our ability to obtain financing and upon our ability to achieve future profitable operations from the development of our business model. Our independent registered public accounting firm (our auditors) issued its audit report including an explanatory paragraph as to an uncertainty with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely investors will lose their investment.
We have no operating history and expect to incur losses in the future.
We have no operating history and have generated no revenues. We have not achieved profitability and expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We expect those losses to increase as we continue to incur expenses to develop sales and marketing channels for the MtK Products and services licensed. We believe that our business depends on our ability to significantly increase revenues and to limit our operating expenses. If our revenues fail to grow at anticipated rates or our operating expenses increase without a commensurate increase in our revenues, or we fail to adjust operating expense levels appropriately, we may never be able to achieve profitability.
Page 11
Our future operating results are likely to be volatile and may cause our equity value to fluctuate.
Our future revenues and operating results, if any, are likely to vary from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Factors, which may cause our revenues and operating results to fluctuate, include the following:
We are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties associated with marketing new products in China, all of which may have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
Our future operating results will depend upon numerous factors beyond our control, including the acceptability of MtK Products by end users, national, regional and local economic conditions inside China and other international markets, changes in demographics, the availability of alternative software program being marketed by competing companies, which change rapidly and cannot be predicted. If we are unable to successfully anticipate and respond to changes in attitude by end users, our business and operating results will be adversely affected.
Current or future government regulations may add to our operating costs.
We may face unanticipated operating costs because of potential changes in governmental regulations in the countries we serve. We have no assurance that the government of such countries will continue to allow business to function in the future as they do now, or whether business practices and regulations will fluctuate within and/or between such countries and its trade with other countries.
If we fail to attract end users, distributors or professional sales personnel for MtK Products, it will have an adverse impact on our business.
Our success depends upon our ability to attract capable distributors to enter into arrangements with us to sell MtK Products to end users on a direct basis and by utilizing the internet. If we do not continually augment and improve our marketing channels, we will not be able to sustain a sales level that will support our operations without the infusion of additional capital.
If we do not effectively educate end users on the benefits of language education software being sold by the company, we will not have sufficient demand for MtK Products.
Our business plan is predicated on our company attracting active and loyal support from end users interested in learning new languages. Our target market will be consumers that have a specific interest in learning a second language. There can be no assurance that there will be significant support from our efforts to educate end users on the advantages of this new language education software. Failure to achieve recognition and acceptance of this new software will have a material adverse effect on the sales
Page 12
and may require us to incur unexpected incremental marketing expenses to educate and inform the market place.
Delivery of MtK Products may be interrupted due to natural disasters or other causes.
MtK Products are manufactured by a third-party manufacturing company. Thus, we are subject to the risk that delivery of MtK Products may be interrupted as a result of natural disasters such as earthquakes and fires or capacity constraints with our vendors or suppliers. Any such interruptions may lead to a loss of customers or distributors and, accordingly, may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Because our executive officer has other business interests, he may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operation, causing our business to fail.
Our executive officer is spending approximately 20 to 30 hours per week of his business time on providing management services to us. While our executive officer presently possesses adequate time to attend to our interests, it is possible that the demands on him from his other obligations could increase, with the result that he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. This could negatively impact our business development.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
Our common stock is illiquid and shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.
There is currently a limited market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance to investors that a market will develop. If a market for our common stock does not develop, our shareholders may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and they may lose all of their investment. Public announcements regarding our company, changes in government regulations, conditions in our market segment or changes in earnings estimates by analysts may cause the price of our common shares to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common shares.
We have not paid any dividends and do not foresee paying dividends in the future.
Payment of dividends on our common stock is within the discretion of the board of directors and will depend upon our future earnings, our capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors. We have no plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and the FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with
Page 13
their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Timing of Sales
The selling stockholders may offer and sell the shares covered by this prospectus at various times. The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.
No Known Agreements to Resell the Shares
To our knowledge, no selling stockholder has any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to resell the shares covered by this prospectus.
Offering Price
There is presently no liquid, public market for our common stock. Our stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "AROC.OB". However, we can provide no assurance that our shares will have a market value or that a market for our securities can be sustained if developed.
Manner of Sale
The shares may be sold by means of one or more of the following methods:
1. a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
2. purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by that broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
3. ordinary brokerage transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
4. through options, swaps or derivatives;
5. privately negotiated transactions; or
6. in a combination of any of the above methods.
The selling stockholders may sell their shares directly to purchasers or may use brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents to sell their shares. Brokers or dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling stockholders, or, if any such broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale. The compensation received by brokers or dealers may, but is not expected to, exceed that which is customary for the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with a selling stockholder to sell a specified number of
Page 19
shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent the broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for a selling stockholder, to purchase as principal any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholder. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may thereafter resell the shares from time to time in transactions, which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices then related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with re-sales of the shares, broker-dealers may pay to or receive from the purchasers of shares commissions as described above.
If our selling stockholders enter into arrangements with brokers or dealers, as described above, we are obligated to file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement disclosing such arrangements, including the names of any broker dealers acting as underwriters.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholders in the sale of the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. In that event, any commissions received by broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
Sales Pursuant to Rule 144
Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. Presently, there are no shares of our common stock that are available for resale to the public in accordance with the requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
Because we are considered a “shell” company, Rule 144 will not be available for resales until 1 year from the date the company files Form 10 information.
Regulation M
The selling stockholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, we will advise the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. Regulation M under the Exchange Act prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from bidding for, or purchasing for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution.
Accordingly, during such times as a selling stockholder may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, the selling stockholder must comply with applicable law and, among other things:
1. may not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock;
2. may not cover short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place; and
3. may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Exchange Act.
Page 20
In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
Penny Stock Rules
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “institutional accredited investors.” The term “institutional accredited investor” refers generally to those accredited investors who are not natural persons and fall into one of the categories of accredited investor specified in subparagraphs (1), (2), (3), (7) or (8) of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, including institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, obtain from the customer a signed and dated acknowledgement of receipt of the disclosure document and to wait two business days before effecting the transaction. The risk disclosure document provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
State Securities Laws
Under the securities laws of some states, the common shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common shares may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
Expenses of Registration
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. These expenses are estimated to be $40,000, including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, auditing, printing and mailing fees. The
Page 21
selling stockholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We currently are not party to any material legal proceedings and, to our knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated.

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. |

The percentage of class is based on 8,887,888 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of July 23, 2009. |

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of July 27, 2009, there were 8,887,888 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding held by fifty-seven (58) shareholders of record. We have not issued any shares of preferred stock.
Common Stock
Our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as otherwise required by law or as provided in any resolution adopted by our board of directors with respect to any series of preferred stock, the holders of our common stock possess all voting power. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares of our common stock that are present in person or represented by proxy, subject to any voting rights granted to holders of any preferred stock.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Nevada corporation law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnification can cover expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such a person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Nevada corporation law also provides that to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defence of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him
Page 27
against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defence. Our articles of incorporation and our by-laws authorize our company to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under Nevada law, subject to certain enumerated exceptions.
We have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court’s decision.
ORGANIZATION SINCE INCORPORATION
We were incorporated on March 16, 2006 as Auror Capital Corp. under the laws of the state of Nevada.
On the date of our incorporation, we appointed Ian McBean as our President, Secretary, Treasurer and director. Mr. McBean is our promoter. Mr. McBean participated in the initial private placement of our securities on March 16, 2006, purchasing 5,000,000 shares at a price of $0.001 per share for proceeds to us of $5,000. Transactions in which Mr. McBean has had an interest in are described in detail below under the heading “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”
We acquired the Katrina mineral claim for a purchase price of $4,582 on April 28, 2006.
We completed a private placement of 1,750,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.04 per share for proceeds of $70,000 on June 26, 2006.
We completed a private placement of 362,500 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.10 per share for proceeds of $36,250 on December 12, 2006 and February 7, 2007. Of these shares, 261,500 were issued on December 12, 2006 and 101,000 were issued on February 7, 2007.
On January 23, 2009, we abandoned the Katrina mineral claim.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
General
We were incorporated as Auror Capital Corp. under the laws of Nevada on March 16, 2006. We began as an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On January 23, 2009, we decided to abandon our Katrina mineral claim due to our unsuccessful explorations to date and our inability to attract investment capital to proceed with further exploration on the claim.
Exclusive License Agreement
On July 27, 2009 , we entered into an exclusive License Agreement with Mount Knowledge™, Inc., a corporation based out of Ontario, Canada, and its founder, Erwin Sniedzins, wherein we were granted exclusive world-wide license to all intellectual property owned by MtK for the purposes of promoting, marketing and selling MtK products.
Mount Knowledge Inc. was established in Toronto, Canada, in 2005 and provides Real Time interactive Self-Learning multi-media content enablers (“RTSL”) that help to turn information into knowledge at up to 300% faster than traditional methods. Its patent pending “e-learning engine” takes a third party’s dormant textual content and automatically creates exercises, tests and scores to enable learners to acquire knowledge faster than passive (rote) learning methods.
Mount Knowledge has been designed and developed as a complete educational integrated system that addresses individual from general needs to special needs and can turn any textual information into knowledge quickly. With more than 200 individual enabling learning tools the system covers most learning needs from Preschool to College; from one Phonetic sound to complete pronunciation phrases; from learning one word to complete sentences, from writing, listening to speaking and comprehension and so on.
Mount Knowledge markets are Corporation’s Training departments and the more than 630 million students who are studying ESL (English as a Second Language), TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) as well as enhancing any third party textual content that a student or employee wants or needs to learn from books, internet and articles. This learning engine solution is being used by students from elementary, high school to colleges and MBA courses.
In consideration for the licensing rights granted by the License Agreement, we have agreed to pay MtK and Sniedzins, collectively, a royalty of eight percent (8%) of gross sales received by us, adjusted for direct costs of sales, commissions and/or franchise fees, related to the sale of MtK products, if applicable, if such costs have not already been deducted or accounted for in the gross sales amount.
The License Agreement will expire on July 19, 2019. However, we have the option to extend the License Agreement for two additional five (5) year periods upon thirty (30) days written notice. The License Agreement may also be further extended upon mutual agreement between the parties.
Competition
We conduct our business in an environment that is highly competitive and unpredictable. All the learning software on the market today offer less than 40% of what Mount Knowledge can offer students, parents, educators and corporate trainers in terms of features and functionality. This currently provides us a competitive edge in the market. However, we have identified over fifteen (15) other revenue-generating companies that compete directly with us in the same educational learning market. This competition could
Page 29
result in our competitors having resource properties of greater quality and attracting prospective investors to finance the development of such properties on more favorable terms. As a result of this competition, we may become involved in an acquisition with more risk or obtain financing on less favorable terms.
Compliance with Government Regulation
None.
Employees
Currently our only employee is our sole director and officer. We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period. We anticipate that we will be conducting most of our business through agreements with consultants and third parties. Our sole officer does not have an employment agreement with us.
Subsidiaries
We do not have any subsidiaries.
Intellectual Property
Under the License Agreement, we have an exclusive worldwide license to MtK’s intellectual property. We do not, however, own any intellectual property ourself.
Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights
We are substantially dependent on the ability of MtK to maintain proprietary copyright protection of the software products and to avoid infringement or copy write violations by other third parties.
REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS
At this time, we are not required to provide annual reports to security holders. However, shareholders and the general public may view and download copies of all of our filings with the SEC, including annual reports, quarterly reports, and all other reports required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by visiting the SEC site (http://www.sec.gov) and performing a search of our electronic filings. We plan to register our common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 concurrent with the effectiveness of this registration statement. Thereafter, annual reports will be delivered to security holders as required or they will be available online.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Plan of Operations
On July 27, 2009, we entered into an exclusive License Agreement with Mount Knowledge™, Inc., a corporation based out of Ontario, Canada, and its founder, Erwin Sniedzins, wherein we were granted exclusive world-wide license to all intellectual property owned by MtK for the purposes of promoting, marketing and selling MtK products.
Today, our primary business consists of the marketing and sales of a proprietary Real-time Self Learning Intelligent (“Syntality” – Knowledge Generator) software application for the ESL, TOEFL and
Page 30
LITERACY markets, and to position itself as the pre-eminent supplier of Interactive ESL and Literacy accelerated learning software tools, with a product family that addresses the Users learning style from simple, through complex data or structured text book information. The Company has exclusively licensed the MtK product line from Mount Knowledge, Inc. and Erwin Sniedzins (the “Licensor”) consisting of proprietary core technology that allows for many aspects of text input converted into a multi-purpose interactive learning platform of instantly created lessons that surpasses other competitive learning products such as Rosetta Stone, Kaplan, Princeton, etc.
The international learning software market continues to expand rapidly at a worldwide growth rate of 15% to 30% and is anticipated to exceed $52.6 billion by 2010. Specifically, the Asian market is expected to reach an annual compounded growth rate of 25% to 30% through 2010. Based upon the overall size of the market and predictions from initial sales and marketing efforts, the market share available to us and our products may potentially reach 300 million users, including individuals, students, and employees of international companies over the next 5-10 years.
The world creates 4 Exabytes(1) of new information each year. This is 500Mb of new data for every man, woman and child on earth per year. People are being “overwhelmed” by information. Companies are trying to stay competitive. Employees are trying to stay informed. Students are stressed out and dropping out of school. 30% of High School students do not graduate and only 12% of North American higher education students receive a BA.
Today, with a click of a button you have immediate access to terabytes of information at your fingertips. This is meaningless since you can only see and consume this data “ONE PAGE” at a time. The average absorption rate is 200 words per minute. This is about one page of data per minute. It is not how fast you can get data but how fast can you turn information into knowledge that matters.
More than one Billion people are studying English. They spend more than $25 Billion in books and preparations to take tests and $39 Billion per year in tutoring. Users can now download whatever they want to learn and the RTSL application tools will automatically create ESL/TOEFL, Subject Learning, Skill Training Lessons, tests and scores at no additional costs.
The following provides a breakdown of the ELearning and Educational marketplace:

Mtk products and services also provide specific job skills interactivity for a wide range of companies to enhance employer specific content to help users upgrade or learn new job skills up to 300% faster than traditional location-based (schools) services. We will continue to add new interactive job skill content services and innovative features over time. The MtK solution can be used by anybody and everybody needing to learn any subject at any time via Internet, cell phone, email and other information sources.
Mount Knowledge, Inc, the licensor, has Canadian, US and International patents-pending and trade marks to protect key aspects of its Real Time Self Learning Intelligent System and interactive learning technology and has taken over five (5) years to design and develop, through IRAP, NRC and Private financing.
Mount Knowledge, Inc has participated in a number of recent industry tradeshows prior to our licensing agreement and has actively pursued various sales channels we intend to further:
1. Partnerships and Distribution Alliances – We will seek partnership and distribution alliances in Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Russia, Mexico, etc. Presently, we have established an exclusive partnership in China and are developing similar agreements in other countries.
2. Technology Partners – We will seek Partnership Alliances with OEMs such as Dell, HP, Apple, Microsoft and Research in Motion for interactive educational offerings.
3. Direct Sales and Global Membership Programs – We plan to develop Web base e-learning membership programs that will charge anticipated monthly fees ranging from US $19 to $49 per month.
Page 32
4. Franchises Packages – We plan to develop worldwide franchise opportunities to sell Syntality, Knowledge Generator, Job Skills training programs and membership programs.
5. Infomercials. We plan to establish strong infomercials to quickly create Brand awareness and immediate sales revenue for the global markets starting with China and then moving into North America.
The Company generates revenue through direct sales and annual licence fees from end users. This direct sale fee supports software licenses, hosting and ongoing support and maintenance. The Company’s consumer consists of Individuals, Schools and/or other Business Enterprise purchasers.
The Mount Knowledge™ product line has been under development since early 2002 and has been trialed by hundreds of users. The Licensor recently released its commercial “Complete English Real Time Self Learning Intelligent System™”. Since its release, the product line has seen significant demand from various schools, business and potential sales partners throughout Canada and China.
In 2007, the Licensor signed its first annual licence agreement with the Toronto District School Board for several schools for their elementary and high school programs. Mount Knowledge is now being used to help students in Literacy improvements, English as a Second Language (ESL), Adult Professional Accreditation, TOEFL preparation (Teaching of English as a Foreign Language) and Special needs for students at Risk and Down syndrome.

We anticipate that we will incur approximately $40,000 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 cash in operating activities in the amount of ($19,218) during the six month period ended April 30, 2009 and ($26,664) during the six month period ended April 30, 2008. Cash used in operating activities was funded by cash from financing activities.
Cash From Investing Activities
No cash was used or provided in investing activities during the six month period ended April 30, 2009.
Cash from Financing Activities
We generated cash of $16,426 from financing activities during the six month period ended April 30, 2009.
Disclosure of Outstanding Share Data
As of July 27, 2009, the Company had 8,887,888 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Company does not have any warrants, options or shares of any other class issued and outstanding as at the date of this quarterly report.
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
Page 35
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 at April 30, 2009, our company has accumulated losses of $147,177 since inception. 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 October 31, 2008, 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. Ian McBean has agreed to continue to provide loans to a minimal amount 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.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
Our executive offices are located at 39555 Orchard Hill Place, Suite 600, Novi, Michigan 48375. Mr Daniel Carr, our Director, currently provides this space to us free of charge. This space may not be available to us free of charge in the future.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Except as described below, none of the following parties has, since our date of incorporation, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with us or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect us:
Any of our directors or officers;

Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to our outstanding shares of common stock;

Ian McBean, our initial director and officer, acquired 5,000,000 shares of our common stock effective March 16, 2006 at a price of $0.001 per share for a total purchase price of $5,000.

Report of Registered Independent Public Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders,
Auror Capital
Corp.
(an exploration stage company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Auror Capital Corp. (the “Company”) (an exploration stage company) as of October 31, 2008 and October 31, 2007 and the related statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the years then ended and for the period from March 16, 2006 (inception) to October 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amount 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, these financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Auror Capital Corp. as of October 31, 2008 and October 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal years then ended and for the period March 16, 2006 (inception) to October 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage, has not yet achieved profitable operations and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors, along with other matters set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Management plans in regard to their planned financing and other matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

| NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| OCTOBER 31, 2008 |
| (Audited) |
| (Stated in U.S. Dollars) |
| 1. |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
|
Organization | |
|
Auror Capital Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A., on March 16, 2006. The Company’s principal executive offices are in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. | |
|
Exploration Stage Activities | |
|
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring exploration and development stage natural resource properties, and is an exploration stage company as defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission (“S.E.C.”) Industry Guide No. 7. However, the Company’s October 31, 2008 financial statements reflect an impairment charge for all of its natural resource and exploration property and, without natural resource property or other business assets, the Company may be considered a public shell entity with a proposed business strategy of merging with a private operating company. | |
|
Going Concern | |
|
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. | |
|
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the period from March 16, 2006 (inception) to October 31, 2008, the Company had no revenue and incurred net losses aggregating $129,359. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and/or upon the successful merger with a private operating company. 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. | |
| 2. |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. 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. |

| 2. |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) | |
|
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below: | ||
| a) |
Organization and Start-up Costs | |
|
Costs of start up activities, including organizational costs, are expensed as incurred. | ||
| b) |
Mineral Property Interests | |
|
For the periods covered by these financial statements, the Company was an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any revenue from its operations. It is 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 Financial Accounting Standards 144 (“FAS 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, when facts and circumstances indicate impairment may exist. | ||
|
The Company regularly performs 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 are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. | ||
|
Management periodically reviews 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 is 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 does not set a pre-determined holding period for properties with unproven deposits, however, properties which have not demonstrated suitable metal concentrations at the conclusion of each phase of an exploration program are re-evaluated to determine if future exploration is warranted, whether there has been any impairment in value and that their carrying values are appropriate. | ||

| 2. |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) | |
| b) |
Mineral Property Interests (Continued) | |
|
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. | ||
|
The Company’s business activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing, generally becoming more restrictive. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. | ||
|
The accumulated costs of properties that are developed on the stage of commercial production will be amortized to operations through unit-of-production depletion if and when revenue is generated from the Company’s business activities. | ||
| c) |
Financial Instruments | |
|
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. | ||
|
Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that this Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted. | ||
| d) |
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share | |
|
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (“SFAS 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 October 31, 2008, the Company had no common stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded in the earnings per share computation. Loss per share is rounded to the nearest penny. | ||

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) | ||
| e) |
Income Taxes | ||
|
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 – “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SF AS 109). This standard requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting on income taxes. 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. | |||
| f) |
Foreign Currency Translation | ||
|
The Company’s functional currency is 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 | ||
|
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company records impairment losses on long- lived assets used in operations 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. | |||

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) | |
| i) |
Asset Retirement Obligations | |
|
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (“SFAS 143’), “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which requires that an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the period which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset. | ||
|
The cost of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the asset. The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. To date, no significant asset retirement obligation exists due to the early stage of exploration. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded. | ||
| 3. |
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | |
|
The following Recent Accounting Pronouncements are disclosed as they may be applicable to the Company’s operations and have an impact on the Company’s financial statements: | ||
|
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” or SFAS 162. SFAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 162 but does not expect that it will have a significant effect on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations. | ||

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued) |
|
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60,” or SFAS 163. SFAS 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities. SFAS 163 requires that disclosures about the risk- management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 163 but does not expect that it will have a significant effect on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations. | |
|
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, "Business Combinations" (“FAS 141R”) which replaces FAS No. 141 and establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. FAS 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption of FAS 141R is prohibited. The company will assess the impact of FAS 141R in the event it enters into a business combination for which the expected acquisition date is subsequent to the required effective date. |

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued) |
|
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS 160, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Under FAS 160, the non-controlling interest will be measured at 100% of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Under current standards, the non- controlling interest is measured at book value. For presentation and disclosure purposes, non- controlling interests will be classified as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. In addition, FAS 160 will change the manner in which increases/decreases in ownership percentages are accounted for. Changes in ownership percentages will be recorded as equity transactions and no gain or loss will be recognized as long as the parent retains control of the subsidiary. When a parent company deconsolidates a subsidiary but retains a non-controlling interest, the non-controlling interest is re-measured at fair value on the date control is lost and a gain or loss is recognized at that time. Finally, under FAS 160, accumulated losses attributable to the non-controlling interests are no longer limited to the original carrying amount, and therefore non-controlling interests could have a negative carrying balance. The provisions of FAS 160 are to be applied prospectively with the exception of the presentation and disclosure provisions, which are to be applied for all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company has reviewed the standards of FAS 160 and has concluded that it will not have any effect on its financial statements. | |
|
In February 2007, the FASB issued No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits Companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, although earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 159 will have on its financial statements. | |
|
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measures”. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company would be the fiscal year beginning September 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 but does not expect that it will have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operations. |

MINERAL PROPERTY |
|
During 2006, the Company acquired an undivided 100% interest in a mineral claim (known as the “Katrina”) located in the Province of British Columbia for $4,582 (CDN$5,000). | |
|
For the fourth quarter ended October 31, 2008, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $4,582 for its Katrina holdings, representing all of its natural resource properties. The Company determined that indicators of impairment were present and that the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by this asset was less than the carrying amount. | |

SHARE CAPITAL |

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
|
The unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented. These second quarter financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s October 31, 2008 Form 10-K. 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 Company’s October 31, 2008 financial statements, have been omitted. The results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended April 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending October 31, 2009. | |
|
Organization | |
|
Auror Capital Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A., on March 16, 2006. The Company’s principal executive offices are in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. | |
|
Exploration Stage Activities | |
|
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring exploration and development stage natural resource properties. . In addition to natural resource exploration, management is considering other business ventures including those in the nature of a public shell corporation. | |
|
Going Concern | |
|
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. | |
|
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the period from March 16, 2006 (inception) to April 30, 2009, the Company had no revenue and incurred net losses aggregating $147,177. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its natural resource properties. 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. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
|
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. 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 judgement. | ||
|
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below: | ||
| a) |
Organization and Start-up Costs | |
|
Costs of start up activities, including organizational costs, are expensed as incurred. | ||
| b) |
Mineral Property Interests | |
|
The Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any revenue from its operations. It is 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 Financial Accounting Standards 144 (“FAS 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, when facts and circumstances indicate impairment may exist. | ||
|
The Company regularly performs 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 are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. | ||
|
Management periodically reviews 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 is 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 does not set a pre-determined holding period for properties with unproven deposits, however, properties which have not demonstrated suitable metal concentrations at the conclusion of each phase of an exploration program are re-evaluated to determine if future exploration is warranted, whether there has been any impairment in value and that their carrying values are appropriate. | ||

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) | |
| b) |
Mineral Property Interests (Continued) | |
|
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. | ||
|
The Company’s business activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing, generally becoming more restrictive. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. | ||
|
The accumulated costs of properties that are developed on the stage of commercial production will be amortized to operations through unit-of-production depletion if and when revenue is generated from the Company’s business activities. | ||
| c) |
Financial Instruments | |
|
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. | ||
|
Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that this Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted. | ||
| d) |
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share | |
|
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (“SFAS 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 April 30, 2009, the Company had no common stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded in the earnings per share computation. | ||

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) | ||
| e) |
Foreign Currency Translation | ||
|
The Company’s functional currency is 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. | |||
| f) |
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. | |||
| g) |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ||
|
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company records impairment losses on long- lived assets used in operations 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. | |||
| 3. |
MINERAL PROPERTY | ||
|
During 2006, the Company acquired an undivided 100% interest in a mineral claim (known as the “Katrina”) located in the Province of British Columbia for $4,582 (CDN$5,000). | |||
|
Subsequent to October 31, 2008, the Company has ceased work on the claim. The property had been fully written down at October 31, 2008. | |||

Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), our articles of incorporation and our bylaws. The following provides a summary of the indemnification provisions relating to our officers and directors set forth in the NRS, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws:
Nevada Revised Statutes
Section 78.7502 of the NRS provides as follows:
1. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
2. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
3. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.
Section 78.751 of the NRS provides as follows:
1. Any discretionary indemnification under NRS 78.7502 unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to subsection 2, may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:
(a) By the stockholders;
Page 40
(b) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;
(c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
(d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
2. The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
3. The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section:
(a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to NRS 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 2, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action.
(b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Our Articles of Incorporation
Our articles of incorporation do not limit the automatic director immunity from liability under the NRS. Our articles of incorporation further provide that we will, from time to time, reimburse or advance to any director or officer the funds necessary for payment of expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with defending any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding for which the Corporation may be required to indemnify the director or officer pursuant to NRS 78.7502, which expenses will be paid as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding; provided that the Corporation has received the undertaking of such director or officer to repay any such amount so advanced if it is ultimately determined by a final and unappealable judicial decision of a court of competent jurisdiction that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.
Our Bylaws
Our bylaws provide as follows:
(a) we may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person (the “Indemnitee”) made or threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor of the

Corporation against judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid in settlement and costs, charges and expenses that he or she incurs in connection with such proceeding; provided that such indemnification may only be made if the Indemnitee is not liable under Section 78.138 of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes or is determined to have acted in good faith and in a manner which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation (and with respect to any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful);
(b) to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to in subsection (a), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Corporation shall indemnify him or her against expenses actually incurred in connection with the defense;
(c) we will, from time to time, reimburse or advance to any Indemnitee the funds necessary for payment of expenses incurred in connection with defending any proceeding for which he or she is indemnified by the Corporation, in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding; provided that the Corporation has received the undertaking of such director or officer to repay any such amount so advanced if it is ultimately determined by a final and unappealable judicial decision that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses; and
(d) any discretionary indemnification pursuant to subsection (a), unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to subsection (c), may be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made (i) by the stockholders; (ii) by the Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding; (iii) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
Opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
We have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court’s decision.

We did not engage in any directed selling efforts, as defined in Regulation S, in the United States.

UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; provided that any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
(c) To include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 of Regulation C of the Securities Act;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
