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 and, through December 31, 2015, has had no transactions.
On April 27, 2009 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Amanasu Water Corporation (Water). This company has changed its name to Amanasu Support Corporation. That subsidiary was subsequently sold to the Company's parent corporation, Amanasu Corporation on February 7, 2012.
Business
The Company previously acquired worldwide licensing rights for certain patented magnetic and power generating technology. Until 2006, it was the intention of the Company to license these rights for use by others. The Company continues to pursue such licensing opportunities, but its primary efforts are now directed at other opportunities.
2. AMENDMENTS TO DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTITY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The Company follows Topic 915 of the (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) for disclosures on development stage reporting requirements. Topic 915 eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception to date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder’s equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years I had been in the development stage. Topic 915 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interims therein. Early application of Topic 915 is permitted for any annual reporting period for which the entities financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. The Company has opted to adopt Topic 915 earlier than the effective date as this did not have a material effect on the financial statements.
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.
Risks and Uncertainties:
The Company’s operations are subject to a number of risks, including but not limited to changes in the general economy, demand for the Company’s products, and the success of its customers.

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.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis, with lives of seven years for furniture and equipment and five years for computers and automobiles.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Amortization is provided by the straight line method, using lives which are based on the lives of the underlying assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company performs a review for potential impairment of long-lived assets whenever an event or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences or benefits to future years of any temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and of net operating loss carryforwards.
Advertising Costs
The Company will expense advertising costs when an advertisement occurs. There has been no spending thus far on advertising.
Foreign Currency Translation
Substantial Company assets were previously located in Japan. On February 7, 2012, the Company sold its majority position in Amanasu Support Corporation to its parent company, Amanasu Corporation. Previous to the transfer, amounts were translated to US dollars as follows:
a. Assets and liabilities, at the rates of exchange in effect as balance sheet dates;
b. Equity accounts, at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions that established the equity accounts; and
c. Revenues and expenses, at the average rates of exchange of each period reported.
Segment Reporting
Management will treat the operations of the Company as one segment.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at December 31, 2015 and, 2014, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”, does not differ materially, except for the items discussed below, from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 for cash and accrued expenses and advances from shareholders and officers approximate the fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Each reporting period we evaluate market conditions including available interest rates, credit spreads relative to our credit rating and liquidity in estimating the fair value of our debt. After considering such market conditions, we estimate that the fair value of debt approximates its carrying value.
Accounting for Income Taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets arise from a variety of sources, the most significant being: a) tax losses that can be carried forward to be utilized against profits in future years; b) expenses recognized for financial reporting purposes but disallowed in the tax return until the associated cash flow occurs; and c) valuation changes of assets which need to be tax effected for book purposes but are deductible only when the valuation change is realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefit which is not more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, future taxable income is estimated, considering the realization of tax loss carryforwards. Valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can also be affected by changes to tax laws, changes to statutory tax rates and future taxable income levels. In the event it was determined that the Company would not be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, we would reduce such amounts through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made. Conversely, if we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net carrying amounts, we would decrease the recorded valuation allowance through an increase to income in the period in which that determination is made.
Income Tax Uncertainties:
The Company accounts for uncertainties in income taxes under ASC 740-10-50 which 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 740-10 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of its tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on its income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. The implementation of ASC 740-10 had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
Despite the Company’s belief that its tax return positions are consistent with applicable tax laws, one or more positions may be challenged by taxing authorities. Settlement of any challenge can result in no change, a complete disallowance, or some partial adjustment reached through negotiations or litigation.
Interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if applicable, will be recognized as income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not incur any expense related to interest or penalties for income tax matters, and no such amounts were accrued as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

4. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company had a material working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2015, and a record of continuing losses. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.
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.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company president made advances to the Company totaling $130,000, all of which remains due to the President at December 31, 2015.
The parent corporation made advance of $92,285 during the period between 2007-2011. This advance was repaid in full in 2014.
During 2013 the Company President provided personal services for the subscriber and as a result the subscriber assigned the debt to the Company President. The $99,900 is now payable to the Company President and is included in Advances from Shareholders and Officers.
Shareholder has amount owed of $8,000 at December 31, 2015.
All advances bear interest at 4.45% and are due on demand.
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 Advances from Shareholders and Officers amounted to $237,900 and $233,450, respectively.
Accrued interest owed to these related parties is included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2015 and 2014 in the amounts $40,134 and $33,837, respectively.

7. 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 be carried forward and applied against future profits for a period of twenty years. The available NOL's totaled $1,111,615 at December 31, 2015. The potential benefit of these NOL's has been recognized on the books of the Company, but it has been offset by a valuation allowance. If not used, the NOL carryforward will expire in the years 2020 through 2034.
Under pronouncements of the FASB, recognition of deferred tax assets is permitted unless it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. The Company has recorded noncurrent deferred tax assets as presented below, offset by a valuation allowance.
