 Introduction
 
 We operate an educational facility under the name "Blue Tassel School" which provides a comprehensive curriculum required by the government of the People’s Republic of China, supplemented by a broad range of elective courses which may be chosen from by our students. To the present date, we have only operated within the People's Republic of China. As used in this report, the terms "we," "our," "Company" and "China Ivy Schools" refers to China Ivy Schools, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All information in this report gives effect to a 1 for 20 reverse stock split effected in December 2008.
 
 The Company's functional currency is the Renminbi, which had an average exchange rate of $0.14475 and $0.14774 during fiscal year 2009 and 2010, respectively.
 
 BLUE TASSEL SCHOOL
 
 Blue Tassel School ("BTS") is an education center located in Suzhou and organized under the laws of China. BTS is accredited by the Jiangsu Educational Committee as a boarding school comprising grades from kindergarten through senior school, including an international school. The five schools that comprise BTS are kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, senior high school, and international school.
 
 The BTS International School has 15 foreign teachers with international teacher certification. They are primarily responsible for the teaching of English. BTS has built a cooperative relationship with other schools located in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong. The BTS International School has established preparatory classes with the BATH ACADEMY located in the United Kingdom, as the BLUE TASSEL-BATH ACADEMY. BTS has also established a program for exchange students, providing long- and short-term study abroad programs, exchange of teachers, sharing of resources, and collaboration of courses. The BTS Kindergarten has 3 classes for children aged 2-6 years, and has developed appropriate learning programs for such students which include art, music and musical instruments performance, dance, skating, and computer programming. In order to develop the potential abilities of its students, BTS provides diverse options for its students.
 
 The BTS Primary School provides elementary education for children aged 6 -12 years and has 14 classes and 47 teachers in the six-year school.
 
 The BTS Junior High School is a three-year middle school for children aged 12 - 15 years with 16 classes and 40 teachers.
 
 The BTS Senior High School is a three-year high school for children aged 15 - 18 years with 24 classes and over 1,200 students. The curriculum and program are designed for preparing students to enter top tier universities.
 
 BTS's education program includes compulsory level education, ample elective courses, activity courses, students' societies, clubs, and seminars presented by famous scholars and successful individuals. Large-scale social practices and educational activities compose a highly selective and personal curriculum, where children can fully develop their personalities and discover their potentials. The comprehensive education system of BTS includes science, art, multi-language, information technology, international understanding, ethics and behavior, adolescence, and ideal seminars. Interaction between students and instructors, an efficient learning environment, and small class teaching are the core ideas for attentive learning and effective study.

  BTS possesses facilities for teaching, learning, living, extracurricular activities and health care purposes. Such facilities are at the vanguard of our educational platform, including a Chinese-English library, e-reading room, computer lab, multi-functional network system, varieties of labs for group study and experimental use, halls for music rehearsal and scholarly presentations. In addition to academic facilities, BTS also has tennis courts, gyms, and other athletic facilities, as well as student apartments.
 
 As of December 31, 2010, there were [1.342] students enrolled at BTS. Our educational facilities are located in the city of Suzhou, in Jiangsu Province on the eastern coast of China. We are within two hours driving distance of Shanghai.
 
 Our Corporate History
 
 The Company was incorporated on September 14, 1999, in and under the laws of the state of Nevada. At the time of our incorporation we were engaged in the business of developing an internet computer software program known as Clear Switch, a program that processes submission of internet web page information to major internet search engines. We suspended these efforts due to our insufficient cash flow and inability to obtain financing to conduct further development of this software program.
 
 On October 12, 2006 (the "Effective Date"), the Company entered into and consummated a Share Exchange Agreement with Brighter International Limited ("BIL"), Blue Tassel School ("BTS"), and the shareholders of BIL (the "BIL Shareholders"), pursuant to which the Company acquired BIL in exchange for the issuance of 2,762,500 shares of the Company’s common stock to the BIL Shareholders (the "Share Exchange Transaction"), which was divided proportionally among the BIL Shareholders in accordance with their respective ownership interests in BIL immediately before the completion of the Share Exchange Transaction.
 
 As a result of the Share Exchange Transaction, a change of control of the Company occurred as of the Effective Date. Prior to the Effective Date, the controlling shareholder of Company was Xu Zuqiang, who held approximately 80% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. As of the Effective Date, the BIL Shareholders became the controlling shareholders of the Company, owning in the aggregate 98% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company as of the Effective Date. Yongqi Zhu ("Zhu"), the Company's present Chairman and Chief Executive Officer acquired 1,745,900 shares of the Common Stock of the Company. After giving effect to the Share Exchange Transaction, Zhu held 56.7% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company.
 
 Prior to the closing of the Share Exchange Transaction, Zuqiang had been Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and sole director of the Company. Effective upon the filing and distribution of such documents as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the expiration of all applicable grace periods, which occurred on November 12, 2006, Zhu (who prior to the Share Exchange Transaction was a shareholder of BIL), Qian Gao, Yipeng Lu, Fugeng Xia and Haiming Zhang were appointed, and Zuqiang resigned from, the Board of Directors of the Company and from his positions as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

 Government Regulation
 
 We are responsible for compliance with all laws relevant to education within the country, as administered by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China. These include, in pertinent part, the Education Law of the People's Republic of China, Higher Education Laws of the People's Republic of China, and the Vocational Education Laws of the People’s Republic of China. Standards of teacher qualification, facilities management and suitability, student assessment and program content are among the most important of the areas which are specified in these regulations.
 
 Because of our arrangements with the Bath Academy, as well as with educational institutions in Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand, we are also regulated by the Ministry's Department of International Cooperation and Exchanges.
 
 Item 1A. Risk Factors.
 
 You should consider carefully each of the following business and investment risk factors and all of the other information in this report. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, the business, financial condition or results of our operations could be materially adversely affected. If that happens, the trading price of our shares of common stock could decline significantly. The risk factors below contain forward-looking statements regarding our business. Actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information."
 
 Risks Relating to Our Business
 
 We depend on our students for our revenues, and any loss, cancellation, reduction, or interruption in our ability to provide educational services could harm our business.
 
 In general, we have derived a material portion of our revenue from tuition payments from our students. If our student base were to be significantly reduced, our revenues and net income could significantly decline. Our success will depend on our continued ability to enroll significant numbers of new students. Any adverse change in our relationship with our students or employees may have a material adverse effect on our business. Although we are attempting to expand awareness of our services, we expect that our student enrollment will not change significantly in the near future. We cannot be sure that we will be able to retain our students or that we will be able to attract additional students, or that students will continue to enroll in our school in the same amounts as in prior years. Any reduction or interruption in the provision of educational services to our students, our inability to successfully enroll additional students, or future concessions in tuition rates or fees that we may have to make could significantly harm our business.
 
 Attracting and retaining key personnel is an essential element of our future success.
 
 Our future success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of our executive officers, other key management, and our faculty, and on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate executive and other key employees, including those in managerial, technical, marketing and information technology support positions. Experienced teaching and technical, marketing and support personnel are in demand and competition for their talents is intense. The loss of the services of one or more of our key employees or our failure to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 Table of Contents
  If we lose the services of our chairman and chief executive officer, our business may suffer.
 
 We are dependent on Mr. Yongqi Zhu, our chairman and chief executive officer. The loss of his services could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to retain and train a replacement. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues. We do not have key-man term life insurance on Mr. Zhu.
 
 Our inability to successfully manage the growth of our business may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
 We expect to experience growth in the number of employees and the scope of our operations as a result of internal growth and acquisitions. Such activities could result in increased responsibilities for management. Our future success will be highly dependent upon our ability to manage successfully the expansion of operations. Our ability to manage and support our growth effectively will be substantially dependent on our ability to implement adequate improvements to financial, inventory, management controls, reporting, order entry systems and other procedures, and hire sufficient numbers of financial, accounting, administrative, and management personnel.
 
 Our future success depends on our ability to address potential market opportunities and to manage expenses to match our ability to finance operations. The need to control our expenses will place a significant strain on our management and operational resources. If we are unable to control our expenses effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
 
 The unsuccessful integration of a business or business segment we acquire could have a material adverse effect on our results.
 
 As part of our business strategy, we expect to acquire assets and facilities, some of which may not be related to or complementary to our operations. These acquisitions will involve risks commonly encountered in acquisitions. These risks include exposure to unknown liabilities of the acquired facilities, additional acquisition costs and unanticipated expenses. Our quarterly and annual operating results could fluctuate due to the costs and expenses of acquiring and integrating new facilities. We may also experience difficulties in assimilating the operations and personnel of acquired facilities. Our ongoing operations may be disrupted and our management's time and attention diverted from existing operations. Our acquisition strategy will likely require additional equity or debt financing, resulting in additional leverage or dilution of ownership. We cannot assure you that any future acquisition will be consummated, or that if consummated, that we will be able to integrate such acquisition successfully.
 
 Our management is comprised almost entirely of individuals residing in the PRC with very limited English skills.
 
 Our management is comprised almost entirely of individuals born and raised in the PRC. As a result of differences in culture, educational background and business experiences, our management may analyze, evaluate and present business opportunities and results of operations differently from the way they are analyzed, evaluated and presented by management teams of public companies in Europe and the United States. In addition, our management has very limited skills in English. Consequently, it is possible that our management team will emphasize or fail to emphasize aspects of our business that might customarily be emphasized in a different manner by comparable public companies from different geographical and political areas.

  We will face many of the difficulties that companies in the early stage may face.
 
 We have a limited operating history as an education provider, which may make it difficult for you to assess our ability to identify merger or acquisition candidates and our growth and earnings potential. Therefore, we may face many of the difficulties that companies in the early stages of their development in new and evolving markets often face. We may continue to face these difficulties in the future, some of which may be beyond our control. If we are unable to successfully address these problems, our future growth and earnings will be negatively affected.
 
 We cannot accurately forecast our future revenues and operating results, which may fluctuate.
 
 Our short operating history and the rapidly changing nature of the markets in which we compete make it difficult to accurately forecast our revenues and operating results. Furthermore, our revenues and operating results may fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors, including the following:
 
 ·
the success of identifying and completing mergers and acquisitions;·
reduced demand for our educational services;
 ·
difficulty in keeping current with changing technologies;·
increased or uneven expenses, whether related to sales and marketing or administration;
 ·
deferral of recognition of our revenue in accordance with applicable accounting principles due to the time required to complete the academic year; and·
costs related to possible acquisitions of technology or other educational facilities.
 
 Due to these factors, forecasts may not be achieved, either because expected revenues do not occur or because they occur at lower prices or on terms that are less favorable to us. In addition, these factors increase the chances that our results could be lower than the expectations of investors and analysts. If so, the market price of our stock would likely decline.
 
 Risks Related to Doing Business in the People's Republic of China
 
 Our business operations take place primarily in the People's Republic of China. Because Chinese laws, regulations and policies are changing, our Chinese operations will face several risks summarized below.
 
 - Limitations on Chinese economic market reforms may discourage foreign investment in Chinese businesses.
 
 The value of investments in Chinese businesses could be adversely affected by political, economic and social uncertainties in China. The economic reforms in China in recent years are regarded by China's central government as a way to introduce economic market forces into China. Given the overriding desire of the central government leadership to maintain stability in China amid rapid social and economic changes in the country, the economic market reforms of recent years could be slowed, or even reversed.
 
 - Any change in policy by the Chinese government could adversely affect investments in Chinese businesses.
 
 Changes in policy could result in imposition of restrictions on currency conversion, imports or the source of supplies, as well as new laws affecting joint ventures and foreign-owned enterprises doing business in China. Although China has been pursuing economic reforms, events such as a change in leadership or social disruptions that may occur upon the proposed privatization of certain state-owned industries, could significantly affect the government's ability to continue with its reform.

 Table of Contents
  We face economic risks in doing business in China.
 
 As a developing nation, China's economy is more volatile than that of developed Western industrial economies. It differs significantly from that of the U.S. or a Western European country in such respects as structure, level of development, capital reinvestment, legal recourse, resource allocation and self-sufficiency. Only in recent years has the Chinese economy moved from what had been a command economy through the 1970s to one that during the 1990s encouraged substantial private economic activity. In 1993, the Constitution of China was amended to reinforce such economic reforms. The trends of the 1990s indicate that future policies of the Chinese government will emphasize greater utilization of market forces. For example, in 1999 the Government announced plans to amend the Chinese Constitution to recognize private property, although private business will officially remain subordinate to state-owned companies, which are the mainstay of the Chinese economy. However, we cannot assure you that, under some circumstances, the government's pursuit of economic reforms will not be restrained or curtailed. Actions by the central government of China could have a significant adverse effect on economic conditions in the country as a whole and on the economic prospects for our Chinese operations.
 
 The Chinese legal and judicial system may negatively impact foreign investors.
 
 In 1982, the National People's Congress amended the Constitution of China to authorize foreign investment and guarantee the "lawful rights and interests" of foreign investors in China. However, China's system of laws is not yet comprehensive. The legal and judicial systems in China are still under development, and enforcement of existing laws is inconsistent. Many judges in China lack the depth of legal training and experience that would be expected of a judge in a more developed country. Because the Chinese judiciary is relatively inexperienced in enforcing the laws that exist, anticipation of judicial decision-making is more uncertain than would be expected in a more developed country. It may be impossible to obtain swift and equitable enforcement of laws that do exist, or to obtain enforcement of the judgment of one court by a court of another jurisdiction. China's legal system is based on written statutes; a decision by one judge does not set a legal precedent that is required to be followed by judges in other cases. In addition, the interpretation of Chinese laws may shift to reflect domestic political changes.
 
 The promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws and the pre-emption of local regulations by national laws may adversely affect foreign investors. However, the trend of legislation over the last 20 years has significantly enhanced the protection of foreign investment and allowed for more control by foreign parties of their investments in Chinese enterprises. We cannot assure you that a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or unforeseen circumstances affecting China's political, economic or social life, will not affect the Chinese government's ability to continue to support and pursue these reforms. Such a shift could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.
 
 The practical effect of the People's Republic of China's legal system on our business operations in China can be viewed from two separate but intertwined considerations. First, as a matter of substantive law, the Foreign Invested Enterprise laws provide significant protection from government interference. In addition, these laws guarantee the full enjoyment of the benefits of corporate articles and contracts to Foreign Invested Enterprise participants. These laws, however, do impose standards concerning corporate formation and governance, which are not qualitatively different from the general corporation laws of the several states. Similarly, the accounting laws and regulations of the People's Republic of China mandate accounting practices which are not consistent with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. China's accounting laws require that an annual "statutory audit" be performed in accordance with People's Republic of China's accounting standards and that the books of account of Foreign Invested Enterprises are maintained in accordance with Chinese accounting laws. Article 14 of the Peoples Republic of China Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law requires a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise to submit certain periodic fiscal reports and statements to designated financial and tax authorities, at the risk of business license revocation. Second, while the enforcement of substantive rights may appear less clear than United States procedures, Foreign Invested Enterprises and Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises are Chinese registered companies, which enjoy the same status as other Chinese registered companies in business-to-business dispute resolution. Generally, the Articles of Association provide that all business disputes pertaining to Foreign Invested Enterprises are to be resolved by the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce in Stockholm, Sweden, applying Chinese substantive law. Any award rendered by this arbitration tribunal is, by the express terms of the respective Articles of Association, enforceable in accordance with the "United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (1958)." Therefore, as a practical matter, although no assurances can be given, the Chinese legal infrastructure, while different in operation from its United States counterpart, should not present any significant impediment to the operation of Foreign Invested Enterprises.

 Table of Contents
  Because our principal assets are located outside of the United States and all of our directors and executive officers reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for you to enforce your rights based on the United States Federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors in the United States or to enforce judgments of United States courts against us or them in the People's Republic of China.
 
 In addition, our operating subsidiaries and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. You will find it difficult to enforce your legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the United States Federal securities laws against us in the courts of either the United States or the People's Republic of China and, even if civil judgments are obtained in courts of the United States, to enforce such judgments in the courts of the People's Republic of China. In addition, it is unclear if extradition treaties in effect between the United States and the People's Republic of China would permit effective enforcement against us or our officers and directors of criminal penalties, under the United States Federal securities laws or otherwise.
 
 Economic Reform Issues
 
 Although the Chinese government owns the majority of productive assets in China, during the past several years the government has implemented economic reform measures that emphasize decentralization and encourage private economic activity. Because these economic reform measures may be inconsistent or ineffectual, we are unable to assure you that:
 
 ·
We will be able to capitalize on economic reforms;·
The Chinese government will continue its pursuit of economic reform policies;
 ·
The economic policies, even if pursued, will be successful;·
Economic policies will not be significantly altered from time to time; and
 ·
Business operations in China will not become subject to the risk of nationalization.
 
 Since 1979, the Chinese government has reformed its economic systems. Because many reforms are unprecedented or experimental, they are expected to be refined and improved. Other political, economic and social factors, such as political changes, changes in the rates of economic growth, unemployment or inflation, or in the disparities in per capita wealth between regions within China, could lead to further readjustment of the reform measures. This refining and readjustment process may negatively affect our operations.
 
 Over the last few years, China's economy has registered a high growth rate. Recently, there have been indications that rates of inflation have increased. In response, the Chinese government recently has taken measures to curb this excessively expansive economy. These measures have included revaluations of the Chinese currency, the Renminbi (RMB), restrictions on the availability of domestic credit, and limited re-centralization of the approval process for purchases of some foreign products. These austerity measures alone may not succeed in slowing down the economy's excessive expansion or control inflation, and may result in severe dislocations in the Chinese economy. The Chinese government may adopt additional measures to further combat inflation, including the establishment of freezes or restraints on certain projects or markets.

 Table of Contents
 
 To date, reforms to China's economic system have not adversely impacted our operations and are not expected to adversely impact operations in the foreseeable future; however, there can be no assurance that the reforms to China's economic system will continue or that we will not be adversely affected by changes in China's political, economic, and social conditions and by changes in policies of the Chinese government, such as changes in laws and regulations, measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation, imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittance abroad, and reduction in tariff protection and other import restrictions.
 
 We are subject to risks associated with our operations which may affect our results.
 
 The field of education in the PRC has drawbacks that the same industry does not have within the United States. For instance:
 
 ·      In China, insurance coverage is a relatively new concept compared to that of the United States and for certain aspects of a business operation, insurance coverage is restricted or expensive. Workers compensation for employees in the PRC may be unavailable or, if available, insufficient to adequately cover such employees.
 
 ·      The laws and regulations in the PRC set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality, including, in some cases, the environment in which educational activities and teaching facilities may be located, or what methods, procedures or substances may be used in the conduct of certain classes. Violation of those standards could result in a temporary or permanent restriction by the PRC of our operations.
 
 We cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately address any of these or other limitations.
 
 Our earnings and, therefore our profitability, may be affected by price volatility.
 
 We anticipate that the majority of our future revenues will be derived from providing educational services, and, as a result, our earnings are directly related to the prices of these services. There are many factors influencing the price of these services including expectations for inflation; regional demand and our ability to meet it; political and economic conditions; and labor costs. These factors are beyond our control and are impossible for us to predict. As a result, price changes may adversely affect our operating results.
 
 Our educational business operations and related activities are subject to PRC government regulations concerning education.
 
 We may have to make a significant financial commitment to ensure that we remain compliant with the regulations affecting education providers. Compliance with existing and future regulations may increase our operating costs and may adversely affect our operating results.
 
 Risks Relating to our Common Stock and our Status as a Public Company
 
 Since our chairman and chief executive officer owns a majority of our outstanding of common stock, and together with our other directors and officers and another stockholder in the aggregate own over 94% of our outstanding shares, you will not have the ability to determine the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval.
 
 Yongqi Zhu, our chairman and chief executive officer, beneficially owns approximately 56% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. In addition, another beneficial owner owns more than 26% of our outstanding shares of common stock and other officers and directors in the aggregate own approximately 12% of our common stock. As a result of this concentration of ownership, you and our other stockholders, acting alone, do not have the ability to determine the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of our directors or significant corporate transactions. In addition, this concentration of ownership, which is not subject to any voting restrictions, may discourage or thwart efforts by third parties to take-over or effect a change in control of our company that may be desirable for you and are other stockholders, and may limit the price that investors are willing to pay for our common stock.

 Table of Contents
  The price of our common stock may be affected by a limited trading volume and may fluctuate significantly.
 
 There has been a limited public market for our common stock and we cannot assure you that an active trading market for our stock will develop or if developed, will be maintained. The absence of an active trading market may adversely affect our stockholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. In addition, we cannot assure you that you will be able to sell shares of common stock that you have purchased without incurring a loss. The market price of our common stock may not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value, and may not be indicative of the market price for the common stock in the future. In addition, the market price for our common stock may be volatile depending on a number of factors, including business performance, industry dynamics, and news announcements or changes in general economic conditions.
 
 We have not and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock; because of this our securities could face devaluation in the market.
 
 We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date and it is not anticipated that any dividends will be paid to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. While our dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, it is anticipated that any earnings will be retained to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividend can further affect the market value of our stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.
 
 We will continue to incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance requirements.
 
 As a public company we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, together with rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable market regulators. These rules impose various requirements on public companies, including requiring certain corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these new compliance requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.
 
 In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal controls for financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, we must perform system and process evaluations and testing of our internal controls over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. Compliance with Section 404 may require that we incur substantial accounting expenses and expend significant management efforts. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if our accountants later identify deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other applicable regulatory authorities.

  Our Board of Directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with terms that may not be beneficial to common stock holders and with the ability to adversely affect stockholder voting power and perpetuate the board's control over the Company.
 
 Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors by resolution may authorize the issuance of preferred stock in one or more series with such limitations and restrictions as it may determine, in its sole discretion, with no further authorization by security holders required for the issuance thereof. The Board may determine the specific terms of the preferred stock, including: designations; preferences; conversions rights; cumulative; relative; participating; and optional or other rights, including: voting rights; qualifications; limitations; or restrictions of the preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of common stock. Preferred stock may be issued quickly with terms calculated to discourage, make more difficult, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or make removal of management more difficult. As a result, the Board of Directors' ability to issue preferred stock may discourage the potential hostile acquirer, possibly resulting in beneficial negotiations. Negotiating with an unfriendly acquirer may result in terms more favorable to us and our stockholders. Conversely, the issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect any market price of, and the voting and other rights of the holders of the common stock. We presently have no plans to issue any preferred stock.
 
 We may issue shares of our capital stock or debt securities to complete an acquisition, which would reduce the equity interest of our stockholders or subject our company to risks upon default.
 
 We may issue our securities to acquire companies or assets. Most likely, we will issue additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock, or both, to complete acquisitions. If we issue additional shares of our common stock or shares of our preferred stock, the equity interest of our existing stockholders may be reduced significantly, and the market price of our common stock may decrease. The shares of preferred stock we issue are likely to provide holders with dividend, liquidation and voting rights, and may include participation rights, senior to, and more favorable than, the rights and powers of holders of our common stock.
 
 If we issue debt securities as part of an acquisition, and we are unable to generate sufficient operating revenues to pay the principal amount and accrued interest on that debt, we may be forced to sell all or a significant portion of our assets to satisfy our debt service obligations, unless we are able to refinance or negotiate an extension of our payment obligation. Even if we are able to meet our debt service obligations as they become due, the holders of that debt may accelerate payment if we fail to comply with, and/or are unable to obtain waivers of, covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios or reserves or satisfy certain other financial restrictions. In addition, financial and other covenants in the agreements we may enter into to secure debt financing may restrict our ability to obtain additional financing and our flexibility in operating our business.
 
 We have significant indebtedness. We are significantly leveraged and our indebtedness is substantial in relation to our stockholders' equity. Our ability to make principal and interest payments will depend on future performance, which is subject to many factors, some of which are outside our control. In the case of a continuing default with respect to this indebtedness, the lender will have the right to foreclose on our assets, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. Payment of principal and interest on this indebtedness may limit our ability to pay cash dividends to stockholders and the documents governing this indebtedness prohibit the payment of cash dividends in certain situations. Our leverage may also adversely affect our ability to finance future operations and capital needs, may limit our ability to pursue business opportunities and may make our results of operations more susceptible to adverse economic conditions.

  Future sales of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
 
 As of March 3, 2011, we had outstanding 22,582,500 shares of common stock. There are a limited number of holders of our common stock. Future sales of our common stock, pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or the perception that such sales could occur, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. The number of our shares available for sale pursuant to registration statements or Rule 144 is very large relative to the trading volume of our shares. Any attempt to sell a substantial number of our shares could severely depress the market price of our common stock. In addition, we may use our capital stock in the future to finance acquisitions and to compensate employees and management, which will further dilute the interests of our existing shareholders and could also depress the trading price of our common stock.
 
 Our business may be adversely affected by conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions generally.
 
 Changes in economic conditions worldwide and particularly in China make it difficult for us to accurately forecast and plan future business requirements, and could cause us to slow or reduce our business activities. Furthermore, during challenging economic times, we may face issues gaining timely access to financing or capital infusion, which could result in an impairment of our ability to continue our business activities. We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of any economic slowdown or subsequent economic recovery, worldwide, in China, or in our industry.
 
 These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results. In addition, further negative market developments may affect consumer confidence levels and may cause adverse changes in payment patterns, lessened demand for our products and services, and increased default rates among our clients. A worsening of these conditions would likely exacerbate the adverse effects of these difficult market conditions on us and others in our industry.
 
 Item 2. Properties.
 
 Our educational and principal operating facilities are located at 1 Suhua Road, Shiji Jinrong Building Suite 801, Suzhou Industrial Park, Jiangsu Province, 215020, P.R. China. Our facilities consist of twenty buildings with 50,113 square feet of space housed on approximately 92,000 square meters of land. The term of the lease expires March 2018 and the minimum rent for the next five years is $1,645,735 per annum.
 
 Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
 
 There are no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or security holder is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us. Our property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.

 As of March  3, 2011, our common stock was held of record by approximately 26 stockholders, some of whom may hold shares for beneficial owners and have not been polled to determine the extent of beneficial ownership.
 
 We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, declared and paid from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available. We intend to retain any earnings for the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the payment of cash dividends will depend upon future earnings, results of operations, capital requirements, our financial condition and other factors that our Board of Directors may consider.

  Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 totaled $6,420,307, an increase of $85,526 or 1% compared to $6,334,781 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The revenue from tuition fees was $5,699,353 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $349,284, or 7% compared to $5,350,069 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
 The revenue from accommodation fees was $487,007 for the year ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $112,236, or 19% compared to $599,243 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The revenue from other fees was $233,946 for the year ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $151,523, or 39% compared to $385,469 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to the increase in tuition fee income. Our current enrollment (as of December 31, 2010) was 1,342 students, a decrease of 468 students, or 26%, compared to an enrollment of 1,810 students as of December 31, 2009. The decrease in our enrolled student numbers resulted from a new regulation by the local education authority. Under the new regulation, students are now allowed to transfer from private school to public school without limitation, and allowed to enroll cross school district borders.

 Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 totaled $7,069,032, representing an increase of $122,336, or 2%, compared to $6,946,696 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to the increase in student expenses. The prices of food and other supplies are increasing continually due to inflation in China. The Company was not able to cover the student related costs by increasing student fees without approval of the local authority. The increase in student expenses was the result of price control on student fees by the local authority.
 
 Comparison of Other Income and Expenses for the Year Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009
 
 Other income and expenses consist of interest income, interest expense, loss on disposal of fixed assets and accretion of discount on receivable from leaseback. Other expense (net) for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $185,581, a decrease of $17,432, or 9%, compared to $203,013 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in other expense (net) was mainly attributable to the $14,488 reduction in interest expense.
  Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 Cash has historically been generated from operations. Operations and liquidity needs are funded primarily through cash flows from operations and short-term borrowings. Cash and cash equivalents were $217,424 and $46,187 at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
 Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,341,232 and $1,774,684 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in 2010 was due primarily to the Company’s $19,378 increase in net loss and the $1,115,758 reduction of the positive change in accounts payable and accrued expenses ($852,010 increase in 2009; $263,748 decrease in 2010), offset partially by the increase in the change in deferred revenue of $432,692 in 2010 ($214,565 decrease in 2009; $218,127 increase in 2010).

  On June 17, 2008, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Jiangsu Dongwu Rural Commercial Bank. The Company acquired a 11,000,000 RMB (approximately $1,666,720) credit line from June 17, 2008 to June 17, 2011. This credit line is secured by a 477 square meter residential unit and a 837 square meter land use right owned by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
  The loans from Huaxia Bank are secured by the land use right of Blue Tassel School and four buildings totaling 20,926.86 square meters of the School.
  On October 28, 2010, the Company received a RMB 31,000,000 ($4,697,120) borrowing from Huaxia Bank. The loan bore interest at 5.61% per annum and was due by January 28, 2011. On October 29, 2010, the Company received a RMB 13,000,000 ($1,969,760) borrowing from Huaxia Bank. The loan was a “working capital” loan that bore interest at 5.61% per annum and was due by January 29, 2011. On November 18, 2010, the Company received a RMB 15,000,000 ($2,272,800) borrowing from Huaxia Bank. The loan was a “working capital” loan that bears interest at 5.838% per annum and is due by November 18, 2011. 
 From November 18 through November 23, 2010, the Company received a total of RMB 13,000,000 ($1,969,760) under a “working capital” line of credit agreement entered into on November 16, 2010 with Guorunfa Rural Small Loan Company. Under the line of credit agreement the Company may borrow a maximum of RMB 24,700,000 ($3,742,544) between November 16, 2010 and November 15, 2012, for which Minglong (Suzhou) Industry Co., Ltd. has currently pledged real estate located in Suzhou City, Peoples Republic of China. Minglong (Suzhou) is not required to re-provide sufficient collateral each time a fresh borrowing occurs under the line of credit during its 2 year term. The interest rate for each borrowing is fixed at the time the borrowing occurs. The interest rate for the 3 borrowings comprising the RMB 13,000,000 ($1,969,760) was set at 1.0833% per month.
 
 Convertible Notes Payable
 
 On June 30, 2009, the Company completed the sale of $1,560,000 principal amount of the Company's 6% Convertible Notes, due June 30, 2010 (the "Notes"). The Notes were sold to four related parties ($920,000 to the Company’s chief executive officer, $448,000 to Minglong Asia, and $192,000 to two other Company directors) outside the United States in a private transaction exempted from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Regulation D. The Notes accrued interest at the rate of 6% per annum and were to mature on June 30, 2010. The four related parties paid an aggregate of $1,560,000 for their Notes.
 
 Holders of the Notes could at any time convert all or any portion of the principal amount of the Notes into shares of the Company's Common Stock at a conversion price, subject to adjustment, initially equal to eight cents ($0.08) per share. No interest was payable on any portion of a Note converted into Common Stock. Hand the conversion price decreased or increased, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes would have been proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be. In the event of default by the Company in its obligations under the Notes, Holders could have, at their option, declared the principal of the Note and the interest accrued thereon to be immediately due and payable.
 
 On February 4, 2010, China Ivy issued a total of 19,500,000 shares of its common stock in full satisfaction of the $1,560,000 convertible notes payable due to the four related parties discussed above. Consequently, the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock increased from 3,082,500 shares to 22,582,500 shares. Accrued interest in the amount of $62,956 was treated as additional paid in capital.
 
 Going Concern
 
 The financial statements have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had cash of $217,424 and $46,187, respectively, and a working capital deficit of $12,255,303 and $11,038,871, respectively. The Company also had an accumulated deficit of $5,949,928 as of December 31, 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to improve its financial condition through a debt or equity offering of its securities and /or a business combination with another business entity. However, there is no assurance that the Company will accomplish these objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amount and classification of liability that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
 Historically, operations, short term financing and the sale of our company stock have been sufficient to meet our cash needs. Our school is a reputable school in the City of Suzhou. The tuition income will be relatively stable in the foreseeable future. We believe that we will be able to generate enough cash to cover our daily operating needs in the next twelve months. We will focus our efforts on reducing operating costs, especially administrative expenses, in the next twelve months. However, our actual working capital needs for the long and short term will depend upon numerous factors, including operating results, competition, and the availability of credit facilities, none of which can be predicted with certainty. Future expansion will be limited by the availability of capital.

  Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
 Financial Reporting Release No. 60, published by the SEC, recommends that all companies include a discussion of critical accounting policies used in the preparation of their financial statements. While all our significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
 We believe that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
 
 General
 
 The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Board of Directors. Management believes that the accounting estimates employed and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
 The Company’s revenue consists of tuition fees, donated tuition fees, accommodation fees and others. Those fees will usually be collected in advance at the beginning of a semester. Spring semester runs from February to July. Autumn semester runs from August to January. The Company prorates the fees collected to applicable months during the semester, recognizes revenue in the corresponding periods and records unrecognized fees collected as deferred income. As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the deferred revenue balance was $933,662 and $715,535, respectively.
 
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
 In connection with the determination of the receivable from sale and leaseback of real property - related party (Note 5), the Company used the following assumptions to calculate the present value at the date of the transactions: (1) annual rent payments of $1,603,405; (2) term of ten years; (3) interest rate of 7% per annum.
 
 Foreign Currency Translation
 
 The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.” The Company’s subsidiary, Blue Tassel School, is located and operates in China. The Chinese Yuan is the functional currency. The financial statements of Blue Tassel School are translated to U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates (published by the Federal Reserve Bank) for assets and liabilities, and average exchange rates (published by the Federal Reserve Bank) for revenues, costs and expenses. Translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains or losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated results of operations.

  Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
 
 In February 2010, the Company adopted an amendment to previously adopted accounting guidance on subsequent event disclosure, which established standards of accounting for and disclosure of events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Under the amended guidance, the Company is no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The adoption of this requirement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
 We adopted the accounting principles established by ASU 2009-17, Consolidations: Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities, effective January 1, 2010. This ASU requires an ongoing reassessment and replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) with a primarily qualitative analysis. The qualitative analysis is based on identifying the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (the “power criterion”) and the obligation to absorb losses from or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE (the “losses/benefit criterion”). The party that meets both these criteria is deemed to have a controlling financial interest. The party with the controlling financial interest is considered to be the primary beneficiary and as a result is required to consolidate the VIE. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
 Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
 In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance which expands the required disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance requires disclosures about transfers of investments between levels in the fair value hierarchy and disclosures relating to the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3 investments). This guidance is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
 
 In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,” or ASU 2010-13. ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this update do not expand the recurring disclosures required by Topic 718. Disclosures currently required under Topic 718 are applicable to a share-based payment award, including the nature and the term of share-based payment arrangements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
 Certain other accounting pronouncements have been issued by the FASB and other standard setting organizations which are not yet effective and have not yet been adopted by the Company. The impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations from adoption of these standards is not expected to be material.
 
 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
 We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have never established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.

 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
 We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
 As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including Mr. Yongqi Zhu, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Ms. Jian Xue, our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Zhu and Ms. Xue concluded that because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2010.
 
 Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
 Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
 
 Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of Mr. Yongqi Zhu, our Chief Executive Officer, and Ms. Jian Xue, our Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
 (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and
 (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
 Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
 Management, under the supervision of Mr. Yongqi Zhu, our Chief Executive Officer, and Ms. Jian Xue, our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on its evaluation under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2010.
 
 19
 Table of Contents
 
 Our management concluded that there were several significant deficiencies that when combined, resulted in a material weakness in our internal controls over our ability to produce financial statements free from material misstatements. The material weakness resulted from a combination of the following significant deficiencies:
 
 • Lack of documentation and review of financial information by our accounting personnel with direct oversight responsibility, and lack of analysis and reconciliation of certain accounts on a periodic basis, and the failure of the accounting system to provide information related to expenditures on a project-by-project basis;
 
 • Lack of timely identification, research and resolution of accounting issues and lack of documentation of consideration of recent accounting pronouncements;
 
 • Absence of documented controls over our related party transactions; and
 
 • Lack of technical accounting expertise among senior financial staff regarding US GAAP and the requirements of the PCAOB, and regarding the preparation of draft financial statements.
 
 The above-noted material weaknesses were first noted in management's review for the year ended December 31, 2007. Although the Company has attempted to rectify these deficiencies, certain of them remain, and the Company will continue to seek to rectify them.
 
 These weaknesses, which caused our management to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2007, have been significantly improved, and we expect additional steps to be implemented in the near term, will correct the material weaknesses described above.
 
 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
 In order to further enhance our internal controls, our management, with the participation of Mr. Zhu and Ms. Xue, has recommended the implementation of the following changes by the end of the second quarter of 2011:
 
 • the restructuring of our relationships with related parties to address our controls over related party transactions;
 
 • the hiring of additional accounting personnel to assist us in the timely identification, research and resolution of accounting issues and with our documentation processes;
 
 • the hiring of additional high-level accounting personnel with experience in US GAAP to monitor all financial and accounting affairs throughout the Company; and
 
 • the engagement of a third-party financial consulting firm to assist management in evaluating complex accounting issues on an as-needed basis, and the implementation of systems to improve control and review procedures over all financial statement and account balances.
 
 This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
 
 During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation performed during the fiscal year covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as otherwise noted above.

  Board Committees
 
 Our Board of Directors has not established any committees. Since our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Board has no plans or need to establish an audit committee with a financial expert or a compensation committee to determine guidelines for determining the compensation of its executive officers or directors, who currently serve without compensation. For similar reasons, we have not adopted a written policy for considering recommendations from shareholders for candidates to serve as directors or with respect to communications from shareholders.
 
 We intend to establish an Audit Committee and such other committees as may be required when sufficient members and resources are available. The Audit Committee will have a designated Audit Committee Financial Expert who will be responsible for reviewing the results and scope of the audit, and other services provided by the independent auditors. No final determination has yet been made as to the memberships of these committees or when we will have sufficient members to establish these committees.
 
 Code of Ethics
 
 The Company has not yet adopted a code of ethics to apply to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Company expects to prepare a Code of Ethics in the near future.

 Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, requires the Company's executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of China Ivy's common stock to file reports of their beneficial ownership and changes in ownership (Forms 3, 4 and 5, and any amendment thereto) with the SEC. Executive officers, directors, and greater-than-ten percent holders are required to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on its review of such forms received by it, the Company believes that all reports require to be filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act by its directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of 10% or more of the common stock were timely made during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
 China Ivy School, Inc.
 
 I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Ivy School, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
 
 I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I 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 amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
 
 In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China Ivy School, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
 The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s present financial condition raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 CHINA IVY SCHOOL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 (FORMERLY CLAREMONT TECHNOLOGIES CORP.)
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
 Organization
 
 China Ivy School, Inc. (formerly Claremont Technologies Corp.) (“China Ivy") was incorporated on September 14, 1999 under the laws of the State of Nevada. China Ivy acquired a wholly owned subsidiary Safe Cell Tab Inc. ("Safe Cell") on August 22, 2003. Safe Cell was incorporated on May 9, 1996 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and engaged in distributing Wi-Fi License and Mobius disposable cell phones. On July 31, 2008, the Company spun off Safe Cell to its stockholders.
 
 On October 12, 2006, China Ivy and the shareholders of Brighter International Limited (“Brighter International”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement in which China Ivy acquired 100% of Brighter International's outstanding common stock. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, the shareholders of Brighter International received 2,762,500 newly issued common shares of the company. This acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition since after the acquisition, the former shareholders of Brighter International held a majority of the outstanding shares of China Ivy. The financial statements of the legal acquirer were not significant.
 
 Brighter International Limited is an education investment enterprise and was incorporated in accordance with the General Corporation Act of the State of Nevada on June 1, 2006. On June 15, 2006, Brighter International entered into an agreement with Blue Tassel School, and pursuant to the agreement, all the shareholders of Blue Tassel School transferred all their ownership interests in Blue Tassel School to Brighter International. Prior to the acquisition, Brighter International and Blue Tassel School had common shareholders owning the same percentage of ownership in both companies. Therefore, the entities were under common control before the acquisition. This acquisition was accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to the pooling of interests method. After the acquisition, Brighter International owned 100% of the outstanding shares of Blue Tassel School.
 
 Blue Tassel School was established on July 10, 2001 under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Blue Tassel School is an education center located in Suzhou city, accredited by the Jiangsu Province Educational Committee as a boarding school comprising grades from kindergarten through senior school, including an international school. The five schools that comprise Blue Tassel School are kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, senior high school, and international school.
 
 Effective January 14, 2009, the Company effectuated a 1 for 20 reverse stock split (thereby reducing the issued and outstanding shares from 61,650,001 shares to 3,082,500 shares). The financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this stock split.
 
 Basis of Presentation
 
 The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company's reporting currency is the United States dollar.
  NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Principles of Consolidation
 
 The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China Ivy and its subsidiaries Brighter International Limited, and Blue Tassel School (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
 Going Concern
 
 The financial statements have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had cash of $217,424 and $46,187, respectively, and a working capital deficit of $12,255,303 and $11,038,871, respectively. The Company also had an accumulated deficit of $5,949,928 as of December 31, 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to improve its financial condition through a debt or equity offering of its securities and /or a business combination with another business entity. However, there is no assurance that the Company will accomplish these objectives. The 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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
  F-7
 Table of Contents
  Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
 The functional currency of China Ivy is the United States dollar. The functional currency of Blue Tassel School is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar.
 
 The assets and liabilities of Blue Tassel School are translated into United States dollars at period-end exchange rates. The revenues and expenses are translated into United States dollars at average exchange rates for the periods. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity.
 
 Transaction gains or losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on balances and transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated results of operations. There is no material foreign currency transaction gain or loss for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
 Use of Estimates
 
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
 
 Reclassifications
 
 Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
 The revenues of the Company are tuition fees, accommodation fees and others. Tuition fees and accommodation fees are collected in advance on or before the new semester. Tuition fees are recognized as revenue proportionately as the instructions are delivered, and are reported net of scholarships and tuition refunds. Accommodation fees are recognized as revenue in proportion to semester progress through the end of the reporting period. Tuition and accommodation fees paid in advance are recorded as deferred revenue.
  Stock-Based Compensation
 
 Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) topic 718-10, Stock Compensation. As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, no stock options or warrants have been granted and none are outstanding.
 
 Advertising
 
 Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were not material for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
 Research and Development
 
 In accordance with ASC 730-10, Research and Development, the Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. There were no research and development costs incurred for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
  F-8
 Table of Contents
  Segment Information
 
 ASC 280-10 requires entity-wide disclosures about the products and services an entity provides, the material countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues, and its major customers. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
 
 Income Taxes
 
 The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in ASC 740-10, the objective of which is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
 Blue Tassel School is governed by the Income Tax Laws of the PRC. Pursuant to the PRC relevant laws and regulations and tax law, Blue Tassel School is exempt from income tax.
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
 Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in demand deposit bank accounts, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
 Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives of:
 
 Buildings

20 yearsInfrastructure and leasehold improvements

10 yearsEquipment

10 yearsAutomobiles

10 yearsFurniture and fixtures

5 yearsComputer hardware and software

5 years
  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
 The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, advances made to vendors, receivable from related party, receivable from sale and leaseback of real property - related party, bank borrowings, convertible notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and payables to related parties.  The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets due to the short term maturity of these instruments or based upon market quotations of instruments with similar interest rates and maturities.
 
 Long-Lived Assets
 
 The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss based on the fair value of the assets. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
 
 F-9
 Table of Contents
  Net Loss Per Common Share
 
 The Company has adopted ASC 260-10, which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.
 
 Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
 
 Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed similarly to basic net income (loss) per share except that it includes the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities were converted. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net loss per common share (such as the convertible notes payable (see Note 7) from June 30, 2009 to February 4, 2010) are excluded from the calculation.
 
 Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
 
 In February 2010, the Company adopted an amendment to previously adopted accounting guidance on subsequent event disclosure, which established standards of accounting for and disclosure of events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Under the amended guidance, the Company is no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The adoption of this requirement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
 We adopted the accounting principles established by ASU 2009-17, Consolidations: Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities, effective January 1, 2010. This ASU requires an ongoing reassessment and replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) with a primarily qualitative analysis. The qualitative analysis is based on identifying the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (the “power criterion”) and the obligation to absorb losses from or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE (the “losses/benefit criterion”). The party that meets both these criteria is deemed to have a controlling financial interest. The party with the controlling financial interest is considered to be the primary beneficiary and as a result is required to consolidate the VIE. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
 Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
 In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance which expands the required disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance requires disclosures about transfers of investments between levels in the fair value hierarchy and disclosures relating to the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3 investments). This guidance is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
 
 In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,” or ASU 2010-13. ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this update do not expand the recurring disclosures required by Topic 718. Disclosures currently required under Topic 718 are applicable to a share-based payment award, including the nature and the term of share-based payment arrangements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

  NOTE 3 - RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTY
 
 Minglong Industry Co. Ltd. (“Minglong”) is one of the Company’s significant shareholders and is controlled by the chief executive officer of the Company. Receivable from related party, representing the net amount advanced to Minglong (see Note 13), was $2,643,248 and $2,790,207 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The receivable due from Minglong is interest free and due on demand.
  NOTE 4 - RECEIVABLE FROM SALE AND LEASEBACK OF REAL PROPERTY - RELATED PARTY
 
 On March 12, 2008, Blue Tassel School sold the land use right of 91,993.32 square meters and twenty buildings of 50,113.81 square meters to its former shareholder Minglong with the sales price of $5,563,692 and $10,405,554 respectively, totaling $15,969,247 (RMB 111,829,458). Blue Tassel School leased back the land use right and the buildings from Minglong from the date of sale.
 
 The lease payments equaled the total sales price of $15,969,247 (RMB 111,829,458). The leases approximated $3.40 (RMB 24) per square meter annually, totaling approximately $315,280 (RMB 2,207,840) per year for using the land and $35.60 (RMB 180) per square meter annually, totaling approximately $1,288,125 (RMB 9,020,486) per year for leasing the buildings. The total annual lease was to approximate $1,603,405 (RMB 11,228,326) until a total of approximately $15,969,247 (RMB 111,829,458) has been offset against the amount receivable from related party over the 10 year term of the lease.
 
 The total receivable from related party on the date of sale and lease back was $11,228,703. This amount represented the present value of the future cash inflows (our lease payments) at the date of the transactions. Assumptions used for the present value calculation were: (1) annual rent payments of $1,603,405; (2) term of ten years; (3) interest rate of 7% per annum.
 
 The purpose of the sale and leaseback of the land use right and buildings was to comply with a new regulation from the government of Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China. According to the new regulation, "Public institutions like schools, kindergartens, hospitals etc., educational facilities and health facilities of social organizations and other lands for the use of other social welfare cannot be used as collateral for bank loans". As in 2007 the land use right and buildings were pledged for bank loans, the management of the Company decided to sell the land use right and buildings to Minglong and then lease back for the school use.
 
 The loss on the March 12, 2008 sale of real property was $5,169,294, as follows:
 
 Fair value of consideration received - $15,969,247 noninterestbearing receivable from Minglong due in annual installmentsof $1,603,405 until repaid (discounted at 7% interest rate)
