PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Amanasu
Techno Holdings Corporation ("Company") was incorporated in the
State of Nevada on December 1, 1997 under the name of Avani
Manufacturing (China) Inc. The Company changed its name to Genesis
Water Technology on August 17, 1999, and to Supreme Group
International, Inc. on December 24, 2000. On June 7, 2001, it
changed its name to Amanasu Technologies Corporation. It changed
its name again on December 21, 2007 to Amanasu Techno Holdings
Corporation. The Company is still in the development phase, and has
not conducted any operations or generated any revenue since its
inception.
The
Company continues to investigate and develop technologies, which
the Company believes have great market potential. The first
technology is an automated personal waste collection and cleaning
machine Haruka (formerly "Heartlet"), developed by Nanomax
Corporation in Japan. The Haruka is a machine used in retirement
homes, hospitals, and even in private residences. The Haruka allows
the patient maximum comfort. The Haruka lowers the burden on the
caretaker with an automated cleaning system. This machine is the
only machine in its class to have a 90% government rebate, which
the company believes makes the technology, extremely competitive
even in the current global economic crisis. The company obtained
sales and manufacturing rights to the Haruka brand and is now
seeking manufacturing partners.
The
second technology is Thoughts Routine Mechanism
(“RUNE”) developed by the Company. We plan to develop
this operating software to be used on electronic devices, such as
smart phones, PC’s and gaming machines. We have secured
technology and human resources that extend this technology to other
applications outside the gaming sector. The Company has developed
an alliance with Valhalla Game Studios (“VGS”) to
jointly conduct game development and application development on
“fate diagnosis based statistical theory, and “fate
diagnosis” game service on mobile phones, smart phones, and
tablets. We believe the collaboration between the Company and VGS
may contribute to the future growth of the Company. Currently, Mr.
Maki offers a wide range of advice as a special advisor, and this
business continues to be evaluated and developed. In addition,
cartoons, movies and games play a large role and influence world
views and we believe that this technology be a very effective tool
in this area.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS (continued)
Overview and History
The
Company remains in the development stage and significant risks
exist with respect to its business (see "Cautionary Statements"
below). The Company received the exclusive worldwide rights to a
high efficiency electrical motor and a high-powered magnet both of
which are used in connection with an electrical motor scooter. The
technologies were initially acquired under a license agreement with
Amanasu Corporation, formerly Family Corporation. Amanasu
Corporation, a Japanese company and the Company's largest
shareholder, acquired the rights to the technologies under a
licensing agreement with the inventors. Amanasu Corporation
subsequently transferred the rights to the Company, and the Company
succeeded to the exclusive, worldwide rights. Atsushi Maki, a
director and officer of the Company, is the sole shareholder of
Amanasu Corporation. At this time, the Company is not engaged in
the commercial sale of any of its licensed technologies. Its
operations to date have been limited to acquiring the technologies,
raising funds, constructing four proto-type motor scooters and
various testing of the technologies and the motor
scooter.
The
market place for electric scooters has become intensely
competitive, thus offering rapid battery recharge time and more
economical sale prices are prerequisites to compete successfully.
Further marketing research was carried out comparing current
electric scooters on the market and Evader's scooters. The research
concluded that further refinement in several areas were required.
First the retail price of the Evader scooters was too high to be
competitive in the Japanese market. The research also found that a
new company recently began importing electric scooters from China
to Japan directly. The quality of their product is unclear;
however, the retail price of the new company's product effectively
competes in the Japanese market. The refinements needed to make the
Evader scooters competitive economically would take too much time,
thus the Company decided to discontinue business relations with
Evader, and abandon the electric scooter project; however, the
Company still holds the related patents.
In
place of the electric scooter, other projects including a
cooperative effort with Seems Inc., formerly introduced as Pixen
Inc., and their breakthrough "Bio-scent technology" are in
development. Seems Inc. is a pioneer in the newly developed
bio-scent technology industry. Bio-scent technology involves the
application of "scent data transmission", a digitized form of
scents, in various industries such as biotechnology, medical care,
environment, security, etc. in addition to common aroma therapy.
Due to its revolutionary technologies, Seems has been able to
become a multi-million dollar company in less than 6 years and is
expected to become public. Its DAA (Defensive Aromatic Air) is its
current flagship product.
In
addition to being an air purifying system, Seems' DAA effectively
removes up to 91% of air pollutants such as ammonia, and by
products of cigarette smoke. It also provides odor neutralization,
and air-borne anti-bacterial effects. Seems has also developed a
scent-particle sensor, which is programmable to detect certain
scent particles. This sensor is 1,000 times more sensitive than
even a dog’s sense of smell. This scent detection system can
be applied in fields such cancer detection. All diseases carry a
scent profile that is undetectable by the human senses. Seems'
sensor is able to detect these scent profiles and display the
digitized scent data.
With
uncertainty in the amount of time taken to obtain approval from the
FDA for various technologies by Seems Inc., the Company decided to
begin a new project in the Food/Beverage industry, specifically
Franchise management under the new leadership of Yukinori Yoshino,
who was appointed President of the Company as of October 16th,
2007; however, due to personal reasons unrelated to the Company,
Mr. Yoshino stepped down as President as of May 11, 2009, with the
Chairman Mr. Atsushi Maki assuming the position of Chief Executive
Officer.
Employees
As of
December 31, 2018, the Company has no full time
employees.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Developmental Stage Company
The
Company was incorporated on February 22, 1999, and remains in the
development stage. Presently, the Company is in the initial stages
of licensing the necessary patents/technologies in order obtain
exclusive sales and manufacturing rights to the Haruka, automatic
personal waste disposal system. The company is also in negotiations
for a licensing agreement for the Biomonitec Glaze (a food microbe
testing apparatus that shortens testing times from days to minutes)
from NMG Inc. As a development stage enterprise, the Company may be
subject to the many pitfalls commonly associated with development
stage enterprises, such as testing and proving technologies. These
risks are in addition to normal business risks. The Company's
ability to emerge from the development stage with respect to its
planned principal business activity is dependent upon a number of
factors, including product development of existing technologies and
successfully raising additional financing to meet its working
capital needs.
Need For Additional Capital
The
Company will require additional capital to meet its ongoing
operating requirements. Once the Haruka technology has been
established in eastern Asia, the company plans to market the
product in North America which will require FDA, and Health Canada
approval. Even though the initial market approval is not capital
intensive, additional pre-market approvals are. The Company intends
to raise the capital through a private or public financing of debt
or equity. Presently, the Company has no commitment for any such
funding, however, is negotiating with potential partners to acquire
funding. The Company cannot predict whether it will be successful
in obtaining such financing on terms acceptable to the Company or
on any terms. The inability to obtain such financing will have a
material adverse effect on the Company and its ability to develop
and commercial sell the products.
Ability to Develop Commercial Product
The
majority of the Company's partners reside in Japan, and with that,
the Company must pass through different government regulatory
departments. The Company's upcoming Haruka product to the United
States will require FDA Pre-market approval in order to maximize
the Company's ability to market. FDA approval is required due to
the nature of the Haruka product, which are considered medical
devices in the United States. Certain principal marketing
statements may also require FDA approval; however, will not be used
in the initial sale stages.
Rapid Technological Changes
The
industry in which the Company intends to compete is subject to
rapid technological changes. No assurances can be given that the
any technological advantages which may be enjoyed by the Company in
respect of its technologies cannot or will not be overcome by
technological advances by competitors rendering the Company's
technologies obsolete or non-competitive.
Lack of Established Distribution Channels
The
Company does not have an established channel of distribution for
any of its products at present. The Company is currently
researching and contacting possible channels of distribution. The
main focus is on chain organizations: restaurant, hotel, and
hospital chains. The Company will also focus on establishing a
network of designated dealers in targeted markets in Japan and
South East Asia. The Company cannot predict whether it will be
successful in establishing its intended dealer network in
Japan.
Management
The
ability of the Company to successfully conduct its business affairs
will be dependent upon the capabilities and business acumen of
current management including Mr. Atsushi Maki, the Company's
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Accordingly, shareholders
must be willing to entrust all aspects of the business affairs of
the Company to its current management. Further, the loss of Mr.
Atsushi Maki could have a material adverse impact on its continued
operation.
Control Exercised By Management
The current officers and directors control approximately 86% of the
shareholder votes, based on ownerships of March 30, 2019.
Consequently, management will control the vote on all matters
brought before shareholders, and holders of common stock may have
no power in corporate decisions usually brought before
shareholders.
5
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (continued)
Conflicts of Interest
The
officers of the Company are not full time employees. Presently, the
Company does not have a formal conflicts of interest policy
governing its officers and directors. In addition, the Company does
not have written employment agreements with its officers. Its
officers intend to devote sufficient business time and attention to
the affairs of the Company to develop the Company's business in a
prudent and business-like manner. However, the principal officer is
engaged in other businesses related and unrelated to the business
of the Company, and in the future, will engage in other business
ventures. As a result, the principal officer and other officers of
the Company may have a conflict of interest in allocating their
respective time, services, and future resources, and in exercising
independent business judgment with respect to their other
businesses and that of the Company.
Reliance upon Third Parties
The
Company does not intend on maintaining a significant technical
staff nor does it intend on manufacturing its products. Rather it
will rely heavily on consultants, contractors and manufacturers to
design, develop and manufacture its products. Accordingly, there is
no assurance that such third parties will be available when needed
at affordable prices.
Competition
Although
management believes its product has significant competitive
advantages to other products in the industry, the Company will be
competing in industries where enormous competition exists.
Competitors in these industries have greater financial, engineering
and other resources than the Company. No assurances can be given
that any advances or developments made by such companies will not
supersede the competitive advantages of the Company's
products.
Protection Of Intellectual Property
The
success of the Company will be dependent, in part, upon the
protection of its proprietary of its various technologies from
competitive use. Certain of its technologies are the subject of
various patents in varying jurisdictions (See "Description of
Business - Proprietary Rights"). In addition to the patent
applications, the Company relies on a combination of trade secrets,
nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to
protect its intellectual property rights. Nevertheless, these
measures may be inadequate to safeguard the Company's underlying
technologies. If these measures do not protect the intellectual
property rights, third parties could use the Company's
technologies, and its ability to compete in the market would be
reduced significantly. In addition, if the sale of the Company's
product extends to foreign countries, the Company may not be able
to effectively protect its intellectual property rights in such
foreign countries. In the future, the Company may be required to
protect or enforce its patents and patent rights through patent
litigation against third parties, such as infringement suits or
interference proceedings. These lawsuits could be expensive, take
significant time, and could divert management's attention from
other business concerns. These actions could put the Company's
patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, and
any patent applications at risk of not issuing. In defense of any
such action, these third parties may assert claims against the
Company. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will have
sufficient funds to vigorously prosecute any patent litigation,
that it will prevail in any of these suits, or that the damages or
other remedies awarded, if any, will be commercially valuable.
During the course of these suits, there may be public announcements
of the results of hearings, motions and other interim proceedings
or developments in the litigation which could result in the
negative perception by investors, which could cause the price of
the Company's common stock to decline dramatically.
Indemnification of Officers and Directors for Securities
Liabilities
The
Company's By-Laws eliminates personal liability in accordance with
the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS). Section 78.7502 of the NRS
provides that a corporation may eliminate personal liability of an
officer or director to the corporation or its stockholders for
breach of fiduciary duty as an officer or director provided that
such indemnification is limited if such party acted in good faith
and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interest of the corporation. In so far as
indemnification for liability arising from the Securities Act of
1933 ("Act") may be permitted to Directors, Officers or persons
controlling the Company, it has been informed that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
6
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (continued)
Penny Stock Regulation
The
Company's common stock may be deemed a "penny stock" under federal
securities laws. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted
regulations that define a "penny stock" generally to be any equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share,
subject to certain exceptions. These regulations impose additional
sales practice requirements on any broker/dealer who sell such
securities to other than established investors and accredited
investors. For transactions covered by this rule, the broker/dealer
must make certain suitability determinations and must receive the
purchaser's written consent prior to purchase. Additionally, any
transaction may require the delivery prior to sale of a disclosure
schedule prescribed by the Commission. Disclosure also is required
to be made of commissions payable to the broker/dealer and the
registered representative, as well as current quotations for the
securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the
account of the customers and information on the limited market in
penny stocks. These requirements generally are considered
restrictive to the purchase of such stocks, and may limit the
market liquidity for such securities.
Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As
shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a
working capital deficiency of $566,719 and an accumulated deficit
of $2,166,566 at December 31, 2018, and a record of continuing
losses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about
the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
The
Company's present plans, the realization of which cannot be
assured, to overcome these difficulties include, but are not
limited to, a continuing effort to investigate business
acquisitions and joint ventures. The Company will also continue to
investigate and develop technologies, which the Company believes
have great market potential. As such, the Company may need to
pursue additional sources of financing. There can be no assurances
that the Company can secure additional financing.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The
Company's executive offices are located at 445 Park Avenue Center
10th Floor New York, NY 10022, and Vancouver, British Columbia. The
total premises in Vancouver are 2,000 square feet and are leased at
a monthly rate of $2,625 under a lease agreement between the
Company and the Secretary of the Company which expires October 1,
2019. The Company shares the space with Amanasu Environment
Corporation (“AEC”), a reporting company under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our major shareholder and officer
own approximately 81% of AEC’s outstanding shares of common
stock. AEC is responsible for 50% of the rent. The office in New
York is rented at the rate of $328 each year. In addition, the
Company maintains an office at Suite 905, 1-6-1 Senzoku Taito-Ku
Tokyo Japan, and no rent is paid by the Company.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes
thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Please
note the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2018 and 2017 have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the
consolidated financial statements the Company had a working capital
deficiency of $566,719 as well as an accumulated deficit of
$2,166,566. These factors, among other things discussed in Note 2
to the consolidated financial statements, raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the
amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue in operation.
Company Overview
The
Company was organized on December 1, 1997. Its operations to date
have been limited to obtaining the license to various environmental
and other technologies, conducting preliminary marketing efforts
and seeking financing.
Plan of Operations
The
Company is a development stage corporation. It has not commenced
its planned operations of manufacturing and
marketing. Its operations to date have been limited to
conducting various tests on its technologies and seeking
financing.
The
Company will continue to investigate and develop technologies,
which the Company believes have great market potential. The first
technology is an automated personal waste collection and cleaning
machine Haruka (formerly "Heartlet"), developed by Nanomax
Corporation in Japan. The Haruka is a machine used in retirement
homes, hospitals, and even in private residences. The Haruka allows
the patient maximum comfort. The Haruka lowers the burden on the
caretaker with an automated cleaning system. This machine is the
only machine in its class to have a 90% government rebate, which
the company believes makes the technology, extremely competitive
even in the current global economic crisis. The company obtained
sales and manufacturing rights to the Haruka brand and is now
seeking, manufacturing partners.
The
second technology is Thoughts Routine Mechanism
(“RUNE”) developed by the Company. We plan to develop
this operating software to be used on electronic devices, such as
smart phones, PC’s and gaming machines. We have secured
technology and human resources that extend this technology to other
applications outside the gaming sector. The Company has developed
an alliance with Valhalla Game Studios (“VGS”) to
jointly conduct game development and application development on
“fate diagnosis based statistical theory, and “fate
diagnosis” game service on mobile phones, smart phones, and
tablets. We believe the collaboration between the Company and VGS
may contribute to the future growth of the Company. Currently, Mr.
Maki offers a wide range of advice as a special advisor, and this
business continues to be evaluated and developed. In addition,
cartoons, movies and games play a large role and influence world
views and we believe that this technology be a very effective tool
in this area.
The
Company will also be concentrating its efforts on capital raising
efforts to fund the development and marketing of these
technologies.
As
stated above, the Company cannot predict whether or not it will be
successful in its capital raising efforts and, thus, be able to
satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12 months. If the
Company is unsuccessful in raising at least $150,000, it may not be
able to complete its plan of expanding operations as discussed
above.
The
company is expecting to gain the capital from issuing and selling
the shares of the Company. The Company has been able to fund its
existing operations from the proceeds of loans from a
shareholder.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased $3,548 (5.2%) for the
year ended December 31, 2018 to $71,663 as compared to $68,115 for
the year ended December 31, 2017 primarily as a result of higher
travel expenses, partially offset by lower professional
fees.
Interest
expense increased $1,158 (9.2%) to $13,793 for the year ended
December 31, 2018 as compared to $12,635 for the year ended
December 31, 2017.
As a
result of the above, the Company incurred a net loss of $85,456 for
the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to a net loss of
$80,750 for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total
assets as of December 31, 2018 were $1,544, compared to $5,014
as of December 31, 2017. Total
current liabilities as of December 31, 2018 were $568,263 compared
to $486,277 at December 31, 2017. The increase is primarily due to
accrued interest and accrued expenses due to stockholders and
officers of the Company.
The Company intends to raise additional funds in the near future
through private placements of its common stock. The Company
received $50,000 for stock sales in 2013. During 2015, the Company
received $61,030 for a deposit for the purchase of common stock,
this amount is classified as a current liability in the
accompanying balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.
The proceeds from such private placements will be allocated
for administrative salaries, office expenses and travel, product
development and testing.
The Company's minimum cash requirements for the next twelve months
are estimated to be $50,000. This amount is primarily for rent,
interest and professional fees. The Company does not have
sufficient cash on hand to support its overhead for the next twelve
months and there are no material commitments for capital at this
time other than as described above. The Company will need to issue
and sell shares to gain capital for operations or arrange for
additional shareholder or related party loans. There is
no current commitment for either of these fund
sources.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company had a net
decrease in cash of $3,470. The Company’s principal sources
and uses of funds were as follows:
Cash used in operating activities. For the year ended December 31, 2018,
the Company used $47,288 in cash for operations as compared to
$58,115 in cash for the year ended December 31, 2017. This decrease in cash used in operations is
primarily attributed to the increase in accrued
expenses.
Cash provided by financing activities. Net
cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December
31, 2018 was $43,818 as compared to $58,111 for the year ended
December 31, 2017. This decrease is primarily the result of the
decrease in advances from stockholders and the decrease in amounts
due to affiliate,.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The
Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Amanasu
Techno Holdings Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Amanasu
Techno Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows
for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively
referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then
ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note
2 to the financial statements, the Company had a working capital
deficit of $566,719 and an accumulated deficit of $2,166,566 at
December 31, 2018, and a record of continuing losses. These
factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans in regards to these matters are described
in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a
public accounting firm registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with
the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to
perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

AMANASU TECHNO HOLDINGS
CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2018 and 2017
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Organization of Company
Amanasu
Techno Holdings Corporation ("Company") was incorporated in the
State of Nevada on December 1, 1997 under the name of Avani
Manufacturing (China) Inc. The Company changed its name to Genesis
Water Technology on August 17, 1999, and to Supreme Group
International, Inc. on December 24, 2000. On June 7, 2001, it
changed its name to Amanasu Technologies Corporation. It changed
its name again on December 21, 2007 to Amanasu Techno Holdings
Corporation. The Company is a development stage company, and has
not conducted any operations or generated any revenue since its
inception.
On
January 4, 2008, the Company invested $1,837 for a 100% interest in
a newly formed subsidiary, Amanasu Techno Holdings Japan
Corporation (Japan), which is located in Tokyo. This subsidiary is
inactive since inception.
Business
The
Company continues to investigate and develop technologies, which
the Company believes have great market potential.
2. GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As
shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a
working capital deficiency of $566,719 and an accumulated deficit
of $2,166,566 at December 31, 2018, and a record of continuing
losses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about
the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
The
Company's present plans, the realization of which cannot be
assured, to overcome these difficulties include, but are not
limited to, a continuing effort to investigate business
acquisitions and joint ventures. The Company will also continue to
investigate and develop technologies, which the Company believes
have great market potential. As such, the Company may need to
pursue additional sources of financing. There can be no assurances
that the Company can secure additional financing.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States, and include the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires that management make 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Development Stage Company:
The
Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in
ASC 915 “Development Stage
Entities.” The Company is devoting substantially all
of its efforts to the development of its business plans. The
Company has elected to adopt Accounting Standards Update No.
2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of
Certain Financial Reporting Requirements; and does not present or
disclose inception-to-date information and other remaining
disclosure requirements of Topic 915.

AMANASU TECHNO HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 2018 and 2017
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For
purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
short term debt securities purchased with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The
Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines the fair value
as used in numerous pronouncements, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value
measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that
would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an
exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the
asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a
fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use
of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs
when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs
that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable.
Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).
The
estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including
cash, accrued expenses and advances from stockholder and officers
are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates fair
values because of the short-term maturing of these instruments. We
have no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis.
Income Taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of FASB
ASC Topic 740, “Income Tax,” which requires recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated
financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence
attributable to the difference between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted
tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date. The Company establishes a valuation
when it is more likely than not that the assets will not be
recovered.
ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial
statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement
of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain
tax positions for any of the reporting periods
presented.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued
pronouncements to have a significant effect on the Company’s
results of operations, financial position or cash
flows.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 2018 and 2017
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The
Company receives periodic advances from its principal stockholders
and officers based upon the Company’s cash flow needs. There
is no written loan agreement between the Company and stockholders
and officers. The balances due as
of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $313,630 and $292,475,
respectively. All advances bear interest at 4.45%.
During
the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company borrowed
$$21,955 and $30,900, respectively, from a
stockholder.
Interest
expense associated with these loans were $13,793 and $12,635 for
the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Accrued
interest on these loans were $77,913 and $64,120 at December 31,
2018 and 2017, respectively. No terms for repayment have been
established. As a result, the amount is classified as a current
liability.
The
Company has an arrangement with Lina Maki, a stockholder of the
Company, for her management consulting time. The agreement is not
written and no payment terms have been established. The fee is
$10,000 annually. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 amounts due to
the stockholder were $40,000 and $30,000,
respectively.
The
Company also leases it office space from a stockholder of the
Company. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, amounts due to the
stockholder were $3,630. For the
most part, lease payments are made by the Company’s
affiliate. As such, when the lease payments are made by the
Company’s affiliate or the lease payments are made by the
Company on behalf of the affiliate, such amounts are shown as a
reduction in or addition to the amount due from affiliate in the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 2018 and 2017
5. INCOME TAXES
The
Company has experienced losses since its inception. As a result, it
has incurred no Federal income tax. The Internal Revenue Code
allows net operating losses (NOL's) to carry forward and apply
against future profits for a period of twenty years. The available
NOL's totaled approximately $1.3 million at December 31, 2018. The
NOL can be carried forward to offset taxable income, if any, in
future years which expire in the years 2020 through
2038.
In
assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate
realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation
of future taxable income during the periods in which those
temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the
scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future
taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this
assessment. Based on the assessment, management has established a
full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax asset
relating to NOLs for every period because it is more likely than
not that all of the deferred tax asset will not be
realized.
On December 22, 2017, legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act, or the Tax Act, was signed in to law. The Tax Act,
among other changes, reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate
from 35% to 21%, requires taxpayers to pay a one-time transition
tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were
previously tax deferred and creates new taxes on certain foreign
sourced earnings. On December 31, 2018, we did not have any foreign
subsidiaries and the international aspects of the Tax Act are not
applicable.
In connection with the initial analysis of the impact of the Tax
Act, we re-measured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities
based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the
future, which is generally 21%. As a result, we recorded a decrease
in net deferred tax assets of $160,000 with a corresponding net
adjustment to deferred income tax expense. These adjustments were
fully offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance for the year
ended December 31, 2018. We have completed and recorded the
adjustments necessary under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118
related to the Tax Act.
The tax
return for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017 are subject to audit by
the Internal Revenue Service.
The
reconciliation of income tax expense at the U.S. statutory rate of
34% to the Company’s effective tax rate is as

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH
ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls
We
carried out an evaluation required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) under the supervision and with
the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures over financial
reporting.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring
that (i) information required to be disclosed in an issuer's
reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC rules and forms and (ii) information is accumulated and
communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosures.
The
evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a
review of our objectives and processes and effect on the
information generated for use in this Report. This type of
evaluation is done quarterly so that the conclusions concerning the
effectiveness of these controls can be reported in our periodic
reports filed with the SEC.
We have
implemented the required processes and compensatory controls to
minimize the risk of any recurrence and we will continue to develop
processes that will be necessary as the business grows, and
financial reporting becomes more complex. We intend to maintain
these controls as processes that may be appropriately modified as
circumstances warrant.
Based
on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective in timely alerting them to material
information which, is required to be included in our periodic
reports filed with the SEC as of the filing of this
Report.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined
in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the company's
internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Exchange Act
rule 13a - 15 and based on the criteria set forth in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our
evaluation under the criteria set forth in Internal Control -
Integrated Framework, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our internal controls and
procedures over financial reporting were ineffective as of December
31, 2018.
However,
a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can
provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met. Management necessarily
applied its judgment in assessing the benefits of controls relative
to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance
that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the
company have been detected. The design of any system of controls is
based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will
succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions, regardless of how remote. Because of the inherent
limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or
fraud may occur and may not be detected.
This
Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our
independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal
control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor
have we engaged our independent registered public accounting firm
to perform, an audit on our internal control over financial
reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in
this Annual Report.
23
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There
have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls
or in other factors since the date of the Chief Executive Officer's
and Principal Financial Officer's evaluation that could
significantly affect these internal controls, including any
corrective actions with regards to significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
