COMPANY OVERVIEW
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.
The Company's principal offices were relocated on April 1, 2010
from 115 East 57th Street 11th Floor New York, NY 10022, to 445
Park Avenue Center 10th floor New York, NY 10022 Telephone:
604-790-8799. The Tokyo branch has relocated from 3-7-11
Azabujuubann Minato-Ku Tokyo Japan to Suite 905, 1-6-1 Senzoku
Taito-Ku Tokyo Japan. Telephone: 03-5808-3663.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
The Company has 2 technologies which the Company believes have
great market potential. The first technology is a fast microbe
detection system for processed and unprocessed foods, called
Biomonitec Glaze by NMG Inc., a Japanese corporation. Traditional
microbe level detection systems take at least 24 hours to process;
however, this mobile system can process the same information in 15
minutes. The Company is currently searching for investment partners
to fund initial sales and marketing efforts. The second technology
is an automated personal waste collection and cleaning machine
Haruka (formerly "Heartlet"), developed by Nanomax Corporation in
Japan. The Haruka is a machine used in retirement homes, hospitals,
and even in private residences. The Haruka allows the patient
maximum comfort. The Haruka lowers the burden on the caretaker with
an automated cleaning system. This machine is the only machine in
its class to have a 90% government rebate, which the company
believes makes the technology, extremely competitive even in the
current global economic crisis. The company obtained sales and
manufacturing rights to the Haruka brand and is now seeking,
manufacturing partners.
On April 27th, 2009, the Company acquired Amanasu Water Corporation
from its sister company Amanasu Environment Corporation and
renamed it Amanasu Support Corporation. During the quarter ending
March 31, 2013 The Company sold its 100% ownership of Amanasu
Support Corporation, formerly named Amanasu Water Corporation
(Water) to its parent company, Amanasu Corporation (Japan) for
$10,000. Because the subsidiary had an excess of liabilities over
the assets transferred on the sale, the excess was transferred to
paid-in capital.
History
The Company is a development stage company and significant risks
exist with respect to its business (see "Cautionary Statements"
below). The Company received the exclusive worldwide rights to a
high efficiency electrical motor and a high-powered magnet both of
which are used in connection with an electrical motor scooter. The
technologies were initially acquired under a license agreement with
Amanasu Corporation, formerly Family Corporation. Amanasu
Corporation, a Japanese company and the Company's largest
shareholder, acquired the rights to the technologies under a
licensing agreement with the inventors. Amanasu Corporation
subsequently transferred the right to the Company, and the Company
succeeded to the exclusive, worldwide rights. Atsushi Maki, a
director and officer of the Company, is the sole shareholder of
Amanasu Corporation. At this time, the Company is not engaged in
the commercial sale of any of its licensed technologies. Its
operations to date have been limited to acquiring the technologies,
constructing four proto-type motor scooters and various testing of
the technologies and the motor scooter.
The market place for electric scooters has become intensely
competitive, thus offering rapid battery recharge time and more
economical sale prices are prerequisites to compete successfully.
To meet the economical sale price requirement the Company planned
to conduct their manufacturing in China to reduce cost, and hoped
it would meet the Company's expectations; however, significant
difficulty with protecting the Company's proprietary technology
unexpectedly emerged. In addition to proprietary issues, there were
major concerns in customer service follow-ups (i.e. product
warranty, maintenance, etc). The Company realized that with minimal
control of the manufacturing standards in China, the result of
safety related incidents, if not managed appropriately, would prove
to be an overwhelming liability for the Company. To solve the two
major issues, the Company decided to initiate a cooperative with a
company that already produces completed electric scooters in a
successful marketing condition. Evader Motorsports, Inc.
("Evader"), an electric motorcycle producer, entered into an
International Distributor Agreement, whereby the Company is
appointed as an exclusive distributor of Evader products. Evader,
in turn, would manage customer-service concerns. The Company was
granted the exclusive rights for the motorcycle retail industry in
Japan, with the right to include other marketing channels provided
that it was agreed upon by both parties. The Company also
considered Evader as a prospective company to share its technology
with to create improved and more advanced electric scooters. The
Company believed that with a combined effort using both companies'
resources and technology, the resulting product would make a
stronger impact on the market.
Further marketing research was carried out comparing current
electric scooters on the market and Evader's scooters. The research
concluded that further refinement in several areas were required.
First the retail price of the Evader scooters was too high to be
competitive in the Japanese market. The research also found that a
new company recently began importing electric scooters from China
to Japan directly. The quality of their product is unclear;
however, the retail price of the new company's product effectively
competes in the Japanese market. The refinements needed to make the
Evader scooters competitive economically would take too much time,
thus the Company has decided to discontinue business relations with
Evader, and abandon the electric scooter project; however, the
Company still holds the related patents.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
History (continued)
In place of the electric scooter, other projects including a
cooperative effort with Seems Inc., formerly introduced as Pixen
Inc. and their breakthrough "Bio-scent technology" are in
development. Seems Inc. is a Pioneer in the newly developed
bio-scent technology industry. Bio-scent technology involves the
application of "scent data transmission", a digitized form of
scents, in various industries such as biotechnology, medical care,
environment, security, etc in addition to common aroma therapy. Due
to its revolutionary technologies, Seems has been able to become a
multi-million dollar company in less than 6 years and is expected
to become public. Its DAA (Defensive Aromatic Air) is its current
flagship product.
In addition to being an air purifying system, Seems' DAA
effectively removes up to 91% of air pollutants such as ammonia,
and by products of cigarette smoke. It also provides odor
neutralization, and air-borne anti-bacterial effects. Seems has
also developed a scent-particle sensor, which is programmable to
detect certain scent particles. This sensor is 1000 times more
sensitive than even a dog’s sense of smell. This scent
detection system can be applied in fields such cancer detection.
All diseases carry a scent profile that is undetectable by the
human senses. Seems' sensor is able to detect these scent profiles
and display the digitized scent data.
With uncertainty in the amount of time taken to obtain approval
from the FDA for various technologies by Seems Inc, the Company
decided to begin a new project in the Food/Beverage industry,
specifically Franchise management under the new leadership of
Yukinori Yoshino, who was appointed President of the Company as of
October 16th, 2007; however, due to personal reasons unrelated to
the Company, Mr. Yoshino stepped down as President as of May 11,
2009, with the Chairman Mr. Atsushi Maki assuming the position of
Chief Executive Officer.
PRODUCTS
Electric Motor Scooter
The Company initial intentions were to participate in the emerging
electric vehicle market by using its licensed technologies to
design, manufacture, and market lightweight, electric motor
scooters. The Company planned to provide its own battery charging
technology to Evader Motorcycle, Inc. to develop an improved
electric scooter aiming at the Japan and Southeast Asian markets;
however, with recently marketing research, the Evader product was
not able to meet the Company's pricing standards. The Company's
electric scooter project will be on hold until more
customer-service related resources can be attained.
Automated Human Waste Disposal Unit
“Haruka”
This technology collects human waste of hospital, and other care
facility patients on an individual basis through an automated
system (patents pending). The non-invasive collection mechanism is
fastened to patient, which in turn is connected to the collector
itself. The part attached to the patient contains several cleaning
mechanisms, which are activated automatically through the unit's
controller. The collection unit can then be emptied by an attending
care professional when the unit is full. The Company believes that
the hospital, and related care industries will greatly benefit from
this form of technology. With an automated system, care
professional will be able to more effectively allocate their time
to more critical patient needs, while at the same time the patient
is provided with more comfort. The Company plans to utilize
government health care initiatives to reduce the cost the purchaser
(varies by market), which the company believes is the cornerstone
to the project that will in turn help revolutionize the care
industry.
The Company believes that the Haruka is a Class I medical device,
which has a much shorter approval process. The Company has
tentative plans for production, however, cannot guarantee this
production schedule.

PLAN OF
OPERATION
The Company is a development stage corporation. It has not
commenced its planned operations of manufacturing and
marketing. Its operations to date have been limited to
conducting various tests on its technologies.
The Company will continue to develop and market two technologies
which the Company believes have great market
potential.
The first technology is a fast microbe detection system for
processed and unprocessed foods, called Biomonitec Glaze by NMG
Inc., a Japanese corporation. Traditional microbe level detection
systems take at least 24 hours to process; however, this mobile
system can process the same information in 15 minutes. The Company
is currently searching for investment partners to fund initial
sales and marketing efforts.
The second technology is an automated personal waste collection and
cleaning machine Haruka (formerly "Heartlet"), developed by Nanomax
Corporation in Japan. The Haruka is a machine used in retirement
homes, hospitals, and even in private residences. The Haruka allows
the patient maximum comfort. The Haruka lowers the burden on the
caretaker with an automated cleaning system. This machine is the
only machine in its class to have a 90% government rebate, which
the company believes makes the technology extremely competitive
even in the current global economic crisis. The company obtained
sales and manufacturing rights to the Haruka brand and is now
currently seeking, manufacturing partners.
The Company will also be concentrating its efforts on capital
raising efforts to enter into the NASDAQ Global Market. The Company
satisfies all entry requirements, except for investment capital.
The Company's target is to raise $30,000,000 in the near future.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise
the fund on an acceptable term or at all.
As stated above, the Company cannot predict whether or not it will
be successful in its capital raising efforts and, thus, be able to
satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12 months. If the
Company is unsuccessful in raising at least $165,000, it may not be
able to complete its plan of expanding operations as discussed
above.
The company is expecting to gain the capital from issuing and
selling the shares of the Company.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's minimum cash requirements for the next twelve months
are estimated to be $60,000, including rent, audit and professional
fees. The Company does not have sufficient cash on hand to support
its overhead for the next twelve months and there are no material
commitments for capital at this time other than as described above.
The Company will need to issue and sell shares to gain capital for
operations or arrange for additional shareholder or related party
loans. There is no current commitment for either of
these fund sources.
Our working capital deficit increased $54,642 to $384,155 at
September 30, 2016 as compared to $329,513 at December 31, 2015
primarily due to an increase in advances from shareholders and
officers and accrued interest.

Company used $34,383 in cash for operations as compared to $63,022
in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily as
a result of the lower operating loss.
Cash provided by investing activities.
Net cash provided by investing activities was
$8,162 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to
