1. ORGANIZATION
Amaru, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the
"Company") hopes to develop the business of broadband entertainment-on-demand, streaming via computers,
television sets, PDAs (personal digital assistant) and the provision of broadband services. Its business includes channel and
program sponsorship (advertising and branding); online subscriptions, channel/portal development (digital programming
services); content aggregation and syndication, broadband consulting services, broadband hosting and streaming services and
e-commerce.
The Company was also previously in the business
of digit gaming (lottery). That license has been suspended.
The key business focus of the company is to
establish itself as the provider and creator of a new generation of entertainment-on-demand and e-commerce channels on broadband,
and 3G (third generation) devices.
The Company delivers both wire and wireless
solutions, streaming via computers, TV sets, PDAS and 3G hand phones.
The Company's business model in the area
of broadband entertainment includes e-services, which the Company believes will provide it with multiple streams of revenue.
Such revenues are derived from advertising and branding (channel and program sponsorship); on-line subscriptions;
channel/portal development (digital programming services); content aggregation and syndication; broadband consulting
services; broadband hosting and streaming services, and on-line dealerships and pay per view services.
2. 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” and assesses 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 810.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements of the Company as of June 30, 2014 and for the three months and six months period ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations
of the Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) which apply to interim financial statements.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes normally required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such information contains all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The
interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or for the year ending
December 31, 2014.
All consolidated financial statements and notes
to the consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US Dollar” or “US$” or
“$”).
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
$43,243,689 and $42,759,864 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company also has a working capital
deficit of $2,923,835 and $3,107,722 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company has had difficulty in
raising adequate additional funding to support its ongoing and planned operations.

(UNAUDITED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
The items discussed above raise substantial
doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will require additional equity or debt 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 equity or debt 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 additional 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.
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
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, “Entertainment-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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
The valuation of investment in films is reviewed
on an 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.
(See Note7).
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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were nil, respectively. The changes relates to an unrealized gain and
loss of was nil for June 30, 2014. An unrealized loss of $14,633 and $40,351 was recognized for
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013.
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. Please also see Notes 7 and 8 to consolidated
financial statements.
Valuation of long-lived assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets
under ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”. Management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets, which
consist primarily of fixed 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
FASB ASC 820,
“Fair Value Measurement,”
defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset
or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.

(continued)
Advances from related party
Advances from a director and related party
of $300,403 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, are unsecured, non-interest bearing and payable on demand.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are
measured and recorded and translated to the functional currency, U.S. dollars, using the Company's prevailing month exchange
rate. 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. Translation gains or losses as of June 30,
2014 and 2013 were not material to the consolidated financial statements.
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 and broadband consulting services, and gaming revenue from our digital games.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance
with 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. All these costs are accounted for in the period incurred.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are determined using
the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “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 of the period that includes the enactment date.
In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax assets for which it is determined that it is more
likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets 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 2010. 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 net income (loss) available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share includes
the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents from the assumed exercise of convertible preferred stock. The Company’s common
stock equivalents were excluded in the computation of diluted net (loss) per share since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
These common stock equivalents may dilute future earnings per share.
Advertising
The
cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred advertising expenses of $44,615 and $2,515, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred advertising expenses of $47,798 and $3,784, respectively.
3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 2014, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2014-06,
“
Technical Corrections and Improvements Related to Glossary Terms
”.
This ASU provides
technical corrections and improvements to Accounting Standards Codification glossary terms. The adoption of this pronouncement,
effective March 14, 2014, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC
605, “Revenue Recognition”. The core principle of this updated guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue
to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new rule also requires additional disclosure about the nature,
amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and
changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This guidance is effective for
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Companies
are permitted to adopt this new rule following either a full or modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is not permitted.
The Company has not yet determined the potential impact of this updated authoritative guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In
April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment
(Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”, which amends the
requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under ASU 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components
of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will
have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component or group of components meets the
criteria to be classified as held for sale or when the component or group of components is disposed of by sale or other than by
sale. In addition, this ASU requires additional disclosures about both discontinued operations and the disposal of an individually
significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements.
The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. This
accounting standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, FASB issued ASU
No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax
Credit Carryforward Exists”. This ASU requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented in the financial statements as
a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. An
exception exists to the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not
available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would
result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and
entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such a purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in
the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

Fair value measurementS
FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,”
specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other
market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with
ASC 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:
|
Level 1 Inputs –
|
Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Inputs –
|
Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Inputs –
|
Inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.
|
ASC 820 requires the use of observable market
data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of
the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant
to the fair value measurements. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, none of the Company’s assets
and liabilities were required to be reported at fair value on a recurring basis. Carrying values of non-derivative financial instruments,
including cash, receivables, payables and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due
to the short term nature of these financial instruments. There were no changes in methods or assumptions during the periods presented.

monthly rental of approximately $9,834 under an operating lease which expires on August 14, 2014. Total rental expense under operating
leases for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $26,732 and $28,898, respectively, and for the six months ended June

11. INCOME TAXES
The Company files separate tax returns for
Singapore and the United States of America.
The Company had approximately $5,200,000 in
deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2014. The Company provided a full allowance of $5,200,000 as of June 30, 2014.
The Company had available approximately
$8,100,000 of unused U.S. net operating loss carry-forwards at June 30, 2014, that may be applied against future
taxable income. These net operating loss carry-forwards expire for U.S. income tax purposes beginning in 2033. There is no
assurance the Company will realize the benefit of the net operating loss carry-forwards.
The Company requires a valuation
allowance to be recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As
of June 30, 2014, the Company maintained a valuation allowance for the U.S. deferred tax asset due to uncertainties as
to the amount of the taxable income from U.S. operations that will be realized.
The
Company had available approximately $11,700,000 of unused Singapore tax losses and capital
allowance carry-forwards at June 30, 2014, that may be applied against future Singapore
taxable income indefinitely provided the company satisfies the shareholdings test for
carry-forward of tax losses and capital allowances.
