ITEM 1. Consolidated Financial
Statements
AMARU, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND REORGANIZATION
Amaru, Inc. (the "Company") is
in 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 in the business of
digit gaming (lottery). The Company has an 18 year license to conduct nationwide lottery in Cambodia. The Company through its subsidiary,
M2B commerce limited, signed an agreement with Allsports International Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company to operate and conduct
digit games in Cambodia and to manage the digit games activities in Cambodia. The license has been suspended, see Note 13.
The key business focus of the Company is
to establish itself as the leading 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 would provide the Company with multiple streams of revenue. Such revenues
would be derived from advertising and branding (channel and program sponsorship); on-line subscriptions; online games micro-payments;
channel/portal development (digital programming services); content aggregation and syndication; broadband consulting services;
broadband hosting and streaming services; E-commerce commissions and on-line dealerships; and pay per view services.
1.2 Recent Accounting Standards and Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No.
2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications
of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. The amendments of this ASU are
effective at the same time as the amendments in ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive
Income, so that entities will not be required to comply with the presentation requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 that ASU No. 2011-12
is deferring. All other requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 are not affected by ASU No. 2011-12, including the requirement to report
comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements.
Public entities should apply these requirements for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December
15, 2011. Nonpublic entities should begin applying these requirements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim
and annual periods thereafter. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No.
2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Offsetting, otherwise known as netting,
is the presentation of assets and liabilities as a single net amount in the statement of financial position (balance sheet). Unlike
IFRS, U.S. GAAP allows companies the option to present net in their balance sheets derivatives that are subject to a legally enforceable
netting arrangement with the same party where rights of set-off are only available in the event of default or bankruptcy. To address
these differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP, in January 2011 the FASB and the IASB (the Boards) issued an exposure draft that
proposed new criteria for netting that were narrower than the current conditions currently in U.S. GAAP. Nevertheless, in response
to feedback from their respective stakeholders, the Boards decided to retain their existing offsetting models. Instead, the Boards
have issued common disclosure requirements related to offsetting arrangements to allow investors to better compare financial statements
prepared in accordance with IFRS or U.S. GAAP. ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related
arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position.
An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods
within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative
periods presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No.
2011-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate-a Scope Clarification. ASU No. 2011-10
represents the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 10-E, "Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate." The objective of
this ASU is to resolve the diversity in practice about whether the guidance in FASB ASC Subtopic 360-20, "Property, Plant,
and Equipment -- Real Estate Sales," applies to a parent that ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary
that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary's nonrecourse debt. ASU 2011-10 provides that when a
parent (reporting entity) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a
result of default on the subsidiary's nonrecourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance in Codification Subtopic
360-20 to determine whether it should derecognize the in substance real estate. Generally, a reporting entity would not satisfy
the requirements to derecognize the in substance real estate before the legal transfer of the real estate to the lender and the
extinguishment of the related nonrecourse indebtedness. That is, even if the reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial
interest under Subtopic 810-10, the reporting entity would continue to include the real estate, debt, and the results of the subsidiary's
operations in its consolidated financial statements until legal title to the real estate is transferred to legally satisfy the
debt. ASU 2011-10 should be applied on a prospective basis to deconsolidation events occurring after the effective date; with prior
periods not adjusted even if the reporting entity has continuing involvement with previously derecognized in substance real estate
entities. For public entities, ASU 2011-10 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on
or after June 15, 2012. For nonpublic entities, ASU 2011-10 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2013, and interim
and annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05,
Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This ASU allows an entity the option to present the total
of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous
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. For nonpublic entities, the amendments
are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company has adopted this guidance. The adoption had no 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 IFRSs. 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. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. Nonpublic entities may apply the amendments
in ASU 2011-04 early, but no earlier than for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has adopted this guidance.
The adoption had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements..
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
2.1 Principles of Consolidation
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 ASC 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.
2.2 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 also has an accumulated deficit of $40,325,665 and
a working capital deficit of $1,654,599 at September 30, 2012.
The items discussed above raise substantial
doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company's financial resources are insufficient, the Company
may 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. Should financing sources fail to materialize, management
would seek alternate funding sources such as the sale of common and/or preferred stock, the issuance of debt or other means. The
Company plans 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 profits, 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.
2.3 Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating
to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates
and assumptions include carrying amount of property and equipment, intangibles, valuation allowances of receivables and inventories.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management has not made any subjective
or complex judgments the application of which would result in any material differences in reported results.
2.4 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as
cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible to cash and subject to insignificant
risk of changes in value.
Cash in banks and short-term deposits are
held to maturity and are carried at cost. For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
consist of cash on hand and deposits in banks, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
The Company monitors its liquidity risk
and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Company's operations and to mitigate
the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
2.5 Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable, which generally have
30 to 90 day terms, are recorded at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts (if any) and do not bear
interest. Amounts collected on accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated
statements of cash flows. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses
in the Company's existing accounts receivable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection
have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Bad debts are written off as incurred. The Company does
not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
The Company's primary exposure to credit
risk arises through its accounts receivable. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with
high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

2.6 Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial reporting purposes.
Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives are capitalized. Expenditures for normal maintenance
and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of assets sold or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated
from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations of the respective
period. The estimated useful lives of the assets range from 3 to 5 years.
Equipment written off was nil for the nine
months ended September 30, 2012 and $110,890 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Gain on disposal of equipment was $66,506
and nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 respectively, with net carrying value of nil as at September 30,
2012 and 2011 respectively.
2.7 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 $19,164,782, as reflected Note 6.
2.8 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.
Included in the gaming license are the
rights to a digit games license in Cambodia. The license is for a minimum period of 18 years commencing from June 1, 2005, with
an option to extend for a further 5 years or such other period as may be mutually agreed. The digit gaming license was suspended,
and the asset was impaired during the year ended December 31, 2008. See Note 13.
The Company most recently completed an
impairment evaluation in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 of its remaining gaming licenses relating to it online video game
downloads. The gaming license was determined to be impaired during the year ended December 31, 2009. In conducting the analysis,
the Company used a discounted cash flow.
The Company most recently completed an
impairment evaluation in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 of its remaining gaming licenses relating to it online video game
downloads. The gaming license 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 gaming licenses. For the gaming licenses identified as being impaired, the cash flows associated with
underlying assets did not support a value greater than zero due to a lack of revenue associated with the gaming license. The licenses
were fully impaired as disclosed in Note 7.
The Company capitalized the development
and building cost related to the broad-band sites and infrastructure for the streaming system. The Company projects that these
development costs will be useful for up to 5 years before additional significant development needs to be done.
2.9 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 and assets and liabilities
of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments
in associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as 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 recognised, 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 recognised
at the date of acquisition is recognised 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 recognised immediately in the
consolidated statements of operations.
Where a group entity transacts with an
associate of the group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the group's interest in the relevant associate.
2.10 Equity Method Investment
An Equity Method Investment is an entity
over which the group 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 and assets and liabilities of Equity Method Investment are incorporated in these financial
statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments are carried in the consolidated balance
sheet at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the group's share of the net assets of the Equity Method Investment,
less any impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of an Equity Method Investment in excess of the group's interest
in that Equity Method Investment (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company's net investment
in the Equity Method Investment) are not recognised, unless the group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments
on behalf of the Equity Method Investment.
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 Equity Method
Investment recognized at the date of acquisition is recognised 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 recognised
immediately in the consolidated profit and loss statement.
Where a group entity transacts with an
Equity Method Investment of the group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the group's interest in the relevant
associate.
2.11 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 the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("ASC 320"). Equity securities held
for trading as of September 30, 2012 totaled $1,163,161, December 31, 2011 totaled $584,406. The changes relates to an unrealized
gain of $860,100 and a loss of $189,324, for nine months ended September 30, 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 investment impairments 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.
2.12 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 with costs and expenses 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.
See notes 2.7 and 2.8 for impairment.
2.13 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:
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
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).
|
The following table sets forth the Company's
financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820, assets
and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company's equity securities held for trading are classified
within the Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and it is valued using quoted market prices reported on the active market on which
the securities are traded.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (ASC 825), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS
No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and
losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in net income. SFAS No. 159 (ASC 825) is effective
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption of this Statement,
the Company did not elect SFAS No. 159 (ASC 825) option for existing financial assets and liabilities and therefore adoption of
SFAS No. 159 (ASC 825) did not have any impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

The investment held at cost located in
Cambodia represents 10 percent of the issued common stock of an untraded company; that investment is carried at its fair value
of $1,726,940 in the consolidated balance sheet. At year-end the total assets reported by the untraded company were $25,742,378,
common stockholders' equity was $17,269,400, revenues were $7,751,364 and net income (loss) was ($2,801,392). The investment held
at cost located in Singapore represents 8 percent of the issued common stock of an untraded company; the investment is carried
at its original cost of $116,136 in the consolidated balance sheet. In 2010, all investments were classified as long term with
$1,843,076 as its fair value.
2.14 Advances from Related Party
Advances from director and
related party of $100,465 and $100,465 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, are unsecured,
non-interest bearing and payable on demand.
2.15 Leases
The Company is the lessee of equipment
