SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting and presentation
The consolidated financial statements include
the financial statements of Amaru, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the company evaluates its relationships with other entities to identify whether
they are variable interest entities as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) Section 810 consolidation of variable interest entities and to assess whether it is the primary
beneficiary of such entities. If the determination is made that the company is the primary beneficiary, then that entity is included
in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 860.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Presentation as a going concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $41,469,107 and $41,322,752
at March 31 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company also has a working capital deficit of $2,844,183 and $2,744,354
at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company has had difficulty in raising adequate additional funding.
The items discussed above raise substantial
doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will require additional financing in order to execute
its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the
form of equity, debt or another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis,
on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company plans also to attempt to address its working capital deficiency by increasing its sales,
maintaining strict expense controls and seeking strategic alliances.
In the event that these financing sources do
not materialize, or the Company is unsuccessful in increasing its revenues and ultimately returning to profitable operations, the
Company will be forced to further reduce its costs, may be unable to repay its debt obligations as they become due or respond to
competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition
and results of operations.
The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and reclassification of liabilities
that might be necessary, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all demand and time deposits
and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable is stated at cost, net
of an allowance for doubtful accounts, if required. Receivables outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses when necessary resulting from the failure of customers
to make required payments. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes allowances where there is
doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the
Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s payment history, its current credit-worthiness
and current economic trends.
Property and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Cost includes the price paid to acquire or construct the asset, including capitalized interest during the construction
period, and any expenditures that substantially increase the assets value or extend the useful life of an existing asset. Depreciation
is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Major repairs and betterments that significantly
extend original useful lives or improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the periods benefited. Maintenance and
repairs are generally expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives of the assets range from 3 to 5 years.

Film library
Investment in the Company's film library includes
movies, dramas, comedies and documentaries in which the Company has acquired distribution rights from a third party. For acquired
films, these capitalized costs consist of minimum guarantee payments to acquire the distribution rights. Costs of acquiring the
Company's film libraries are amortized using the individual-film-forecast method in accordance with ASC 926, "Accounting for
Producers and Distributors of Films," whereby these costs are amortized and participations and residuals costs are accrued
in the proportion that current year's revenue bears to management's estimate of ultimate revenue at the beginning of the current
year expected to be recognized from the exploitation, exhibition or sale of the films. Ultimate revenue for acquired films includes
estimates over a period not to exceed twenty years following the date of acquisition. Investments in films are stated at the lower
of amortized cost or estimated fair value.
The valuation of investment in films is reviewed
on a overall basis, when an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair value of the film library is less than its
unamortized cost. The fair value of the film is determined using management's future revenue and cost estimates and a discounted
cash flow approach. Additional amortization is recorded in the amount by which the unamortized costs exceed the estimated fair
value of the film. Estimates of future revenue involve measurement uncertainty and it is therefore possible that reductions in
the carrying value of investment in films may be required as a consequence of changes in management's future revenue estimates.
The Company most recently completed an impairment
evaluation in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. The film library was determined to be impaired during the year ended December
31, 2009. In conducting the analysis, the Company used a discounted cash flow approach in estimating fair value as market values
could not be readily determined given the unique nature of the respective assets. Based upon the analysis the Company determined
that carrying amount of the film library exceeded its fair value by $19,166,406, as reflected Note 7.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist of gaming, software
license and product development costs. Intangible assets which were purchased for a specific period are stated at cost less accumulated
amortization and impairment losses. Such intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 350, Accounting for
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Such intangible assets are amortized over the period of the contract, which is 2 to 18 years.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Associate
An “Associate” is an entity over
which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence
is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control
over those policies.
The results of the Associate are incorporated
in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in the Associate are
carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost and adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Company's share of the net assets
of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of an Associate in excess of the group's interest
in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company's net investment in the
Associate) are not recognized, unless the group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the
Associate.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over
the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the Associate recognized
at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and
is assessed for impairment as part of the investment. Any excess of the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in the
consolidated profit and loss statement of operations. The Company currently has no goodwill related to the Associate. If the Company
has transactions with the Associate, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Company's interest in the relevant
associate.

Investments
The Company classifies its investments in marketable
equity and debt securities as "available-for-sale", "held to maturity" or "trading" at the time of
purchase in accordance with "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Equity securities held
for trading as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $633,171, and $584,406, respectively. The changes relates to an unrealized
gain of $48,765 and an unrealized loss of $72,221 were recognized for three months ended March 31, 2012 and, 2011, respectively.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at
fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of related tax, if any, reported as a component of other comprehensive income
(loss) until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific-identification
basis. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary will
result in an impairment, which is charged to earnings.
Investments that are not publicly traded or
have resale restrictions greater than one year are accounted for at cost. The Company's cost method investments include companies
involved in the broadband and entertainment industry. The Company uses available qualitative and quantitative information to evaluate
all cost method investments for impairment at least annually. An impairment is booked when there is an other-than-temporary difference
between the carrying amount and fair value of the investment that would result in a loss.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
Valuation of long-lived assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets
under ASC 360,"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets". Management assesses the recoverability
of its long-lived assets, which consist primarily of fixed assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives, whenever events
or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The following factors, if present, may trigger
an impairment review: (i) significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii)
significant negative industry or economic trends; (iii) significant decline in the Company's stock price for a sustained period;
and (iv) a change in the Company's market capitalization relative to net book value. If the recoverability of these assets is unlikely
because of the existence of one or more of the above-mentioned factors, an impairment analysis is performed using a projected discounted
cash flow method. Management must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair
value of these respective assets. If these estimates or related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to
record an impairment charge. Impairment charges would be included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations, and would
result in reduced carrying amounts of the related assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Fair value of financial instruments
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy
that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:
Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market
prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices in markets
that not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or
liability.
Level 3 Inputs – Prices or valuation
techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or
no market activity).

Leases
The Company is the lessee of equipment under
a capital lease expiring in 2014. The assets and liabilities under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the present value
of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the asset. The assets are amortized over the lesser of their related lease terms
or their estimated useful lives. Amortization of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation expense for the three
months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are measured
and recorded in the functional currency, U.S. dollars, using the Company's prevailing month exchange rate. The Company's reporting
currency is also in U.S. dollars. At the balance sheet date, recorded monetary balances that are denominated in a foreign currency
are adjusted to reflect the rate at the balance sheet date and the operations statement accounts using the average exchange rates
throughout the period. Translation gains and losses are recorded in stockholders' equity as other comprehensive income and realized
gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are reflected in operations.
Revenues
The Company's primary sources of revenue are
from the sales of advertising space on interactive websites owned by the Company; distribution and licensing of content to our
partners, broadband consulting services, and gaming revenue from our digital games.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance
with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 605-10 Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, the service or product is performed or delivered and collectability of the resulting receivable
is reasonably assured.

Website advertising revenue is recognized on
a cost per thousand impressions (CPM) or cost per click (CPC), and flat-fee basis. The Company earns CPM or CPC revenue from the
display of graphical advertisements. An impression is delivered when an advertisement appears in pages viewed by users. Revenue
from graphical advertisement impressions is recognized based on the actual impressions delivered in the period. Revenue from flat-fee
services is based on a customer's period of contractual service and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
contract. Proceeds from subscriptions are deferred and are included in revenue on a pro-rata basis over the term of the subscriptions.
The Company enters into contractual arrangements
with customers to license and distribute content; revenue is earned from content licenses, and content syndication, Agreements
with these customers are typically for multi-year periods. For each arrangement, revenue is recognized when both parties have signed
an agreement, the fees to be paid by the customer are fixed or determinable, collection of the fees is probable, the delivery of
the service has occurred, and no other significant obligations on the part of the Company remain. Licensing and content syndication
revenue is recognized when the license period begins, and the contents are available for exploitation by the customer, pursuant
to the terms of the license agreement.
The Company enters into contractual arrangements
with customers on broadband consulting services and on-line turnkey solutions. Revenue is earned over the period in which the services
are rendered. For each arrangement, revenue is recognized when a written agreement between both parties exist, the fees to be paid
by the customer are fixed or determinable, collection of the fees is probable, and fulfillment of the obligations under the agreement
has occurred, Revenue from broadband consulting services and on-line turnkey solutions is recognized over the period in which the
services are rendered, by reference to completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual services provided
as a proportion of the total services to be performed. It is generally recognized from the date of acceptance and fulfillment of
obligations under the sale and purchase agreement.
Cost of services
The cost of services pertaining to advertising
and sponsorship revenue and subscription and related services are the cost of bandwidth charges, channel design and alteration,
copyright licensing, and hardware hosting and maintenance costs. The cost of services pertaining to E-commerce revenue is channel
design and alteration, and hardware hosting and maintenance costs. The cost of services pertaining to gaming is for managing and
operating the operations and gaming centers. All these costs are accounted for in the period its was incurred.

Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are determined using
the assets and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income taxes are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in years in which such temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely
than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company files income tax returns in the
United States Federal jurisdiction and certain states in the United States and certain other foreign jurisdictions. The Company
is beyond the statute of limitations subjecting it to U.S. Federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years
before 2008. No income tax returns are currently under examination by any tax authorities.
Income (loss) per share
The Company computes net income (loss) per
common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”) and SEC SAB 98. Under the
provisions of ASC 260 and SAB 98, basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the amount available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common
share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding plus the effect of any dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The Company has no common stock equivalents,
which would dilute earnings per share.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts for the Company's cash, other current assets,
accounts payable, advances from related parties accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair value due to their
short term nature. Investments that are not publicly traded or have resale restrictions greater than one year are accounted for
at cost. Trading securities are held at fair value based upon prices quoted on an exchange.

statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present
each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other
comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components
of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments to the Codification in
the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income
must be reclassified to net income. ASU 2011-05 should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective
for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has adopted this guidance.
The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04,
Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP
and IFRSs. This ASU represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the IASB (the Boards) on fair value measurement. The collective
efforts of the Boards and their staffs, reflected in ASU 2011-04, have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value
and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term "fair value."
The Boards have concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and
disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (Codification) in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during
interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial statements
