ITEM 1. BUSINESS
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.
Current
As of April 27th, 2009, Amanasu Techno Holdings Corporation (herein after the "Company"), acquired Amanasu Water Corporation from its brother company Amanasu Environment Corporation. The Company was to assist Amanasu Water Corporation under a new name, Amanasu Support Corporation, to manufacture and market technologies. Subsequently the Company interest in Amanasu Support Corporation was sold to its parent corporation, Amanasu Corporation.
The Company is pursuing two technologies. 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 a 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 is now currently seeking, manufacturing partners.
Overview and 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 Amanasu Technologies Corporation, and the Company succeeded to the exclusive, worldwide rights. Atsushi Maki, a director 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.
After considerable market research, including the evaluation of competing products, the Company has decided to abandon the electric scooter project; however, the Company still holds the related patents.
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.
The Company’s goal for the next 2 years is to enter into the NASDAQ global market.

ITEM 1A.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Developmental Stage Company. The Company was incorporated on February 22, 1999, and is a development stage company. Presently, the Company is in the initial stages of licensing the necessary patents/technologies in order obtain exclusive sales and manufacturing rights to the Haruka, automatic personal waste disposal system. The company is also in negotiations for a licensing agreement for the Biomonitec Glaze (a food microbe testing apparatus that shortens testing times from days to minutes)from NMG Inc. As a development stage enterprise, the Company may be subject to the many pitfalls commonly associated with development stage enterprises, such as testing and proving technologies. These risks are in addition to normal business risks. The Company's ability to emerge from the development stage with respect to its planned principal business activity is dependent upon a number of factors, including product development of existing technologies and successfully raising additional financing to meet its working capital needs.
Need For Additional Capital. The Company will require additional capital to meet its ongoing operating requirements. Once the Haruka technology has been established in eastern Asia, the company plans to market the product in North America which will require FDA, and Health Canada approval. Even though the initial market approval is not capital intensive, additional pre-market approvals are. The Company intends to raise the capital through a private or public financing of debt or equity. Presently, the Company has no commitment for any such funding, however, is negotiating with potential partners to acquire funding. The Company can not predict whether it will be successful in obtaining such financing on terms acceptable to the Company or on any terms. The inability to obtain such financing will have a material adverse affect on the Company and its ability to develop and commercial sell the products.
Ability To Develop Commercial Product. The majority of the Company's partners reside in Japan, and with that, the Company must pass through different government regulatory departments. The Company's upcoming Haruka product to the United States will require FDA Pre-market approval in order to maximize the Company's ability to market. FDA approval is required due to the nature of the Haruka product, which are considered medical devices in the United States. Certain principal marketing statements may also require FDA approval; however, will not be used in the initial sale stages.
Rapid Technological Changes. The industry in which the Company intends to compete is subject to rapid technological changes. No assurances can be given that the any technological advantages which may be enjoyed by the Company in respect of its technologies can not or will not be overcome by technological advances by competitors rendering the Company's technologies obsolete or non-competitive.
Lack Of Established Distribution Channels. The Company does not have an established channel of distribution for any of its products at present. The Company is currently researching and contacting possible channels of distribution. The main focus is on chain organizations: restaurant, hotel, and hospital chains. The Company will also focus on establishing a network of designated dealers in targeted markets in Japan and South East Asia. The Company can not predict whether it will be successful in establishing its intended dealer network in Japan.
Management. The ability of the Company to successfully conduct its business affairs will be dependent upon the capabilities and business acumen of current management including Mr. Atsushi Maki, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Accordingly, shareholders must be willing to entrust all aspects of the business affairs of the Company to its current management. Further, the loss of any one of the Company's management team could have a material adverse impact on its continued operation.
Control Exercised By Management. The current officers and directors control approximately 87% of the shareholder votes, based on ownerships of February 28, 2014. Consequently, management will control the vote on all matters brought before shareholders, and holders of common stock may have no power in corporate decisions usually brought before shareholders.
Conflicts of Interest. The officers of the Company are not full time employees. Presently, the Company does not have a formal conflicts of interest policy governing its officers and directors. In addition, the Company does not have written employment agreements with its officers. Its officers intend to devote sufficient business time and attention to the affairs of the Company to develop the Company's business in a prudent and business-like manner. However, the principal officer is engaged in other businesses related and unrelated to the business of the Company, and in the future, will engage in other business ventures. As a result, the principal officer and other officer of the Company may have a conflict of interest in allocating their respective time, services, and future resources, and in exercising independent business judgment with respect to their other businesses and that of the Company.
Reliance upon Third Parties. The Company does not intend on maintaining a significant technical staff nor does it intend on manufacturing its products. Rather it will rely heavily on consultants, contractors and manufacturers to design, develop and manufacture its products. Accordingly, there is no assurance that such third parties will be available when needed at affordable prices.
Competition. Although management believes its product has significant competitive advantages to other products in the industry. However, the Company will be competing in industries where enormous competition exists. Competitors in these industries have greater financial, engineering and other resources than the Company. No assurances can be given that any advances or developments made by such companies will not supersede the competitive advantages of the Company's products.
Protection Of Intellectual Property. The success of the Company will be dependent, in part, upon the protection of its proprietary of its various technologies from competitive use. Certain of its technologies are the subject of various patents in varying jurisdictions (See "Description of Business - Proprietary Rights"). In addition to the patent applications, the Company relies on a combination of trade secrets, nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to protect its intellectual property rights. Nevertheless, these measures may be inadequate to safeguard the Company's underlying technologies. If these measures do not protect the intellectual property rights, third parties could use the Company's technologies, and its ability to compete in the market would be reduced significantly. In addition, if the sale of the Company's product extends to foreign countries, the Company may not be able to effectively protect its intellectual property rights in such foreign countries. In the future, the Company may be required to protect or enforce its patents and patent rights through patent litigation against third parties, such as infringement suits or interference proceedings. These lawsuits could be expensive, take significant time, and could divert management's attention from other business concerns. These actions could put the Company's patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, and any patent applications at risk of not issuing. In defense of any such action, these third parties may assert claims against the Company. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will have sufficient funds to vigorously prosecute any patent litigation, that it will prevail in any of these suits, or that the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, will be commercially valuable. During the course of these suits, there may be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions and other interim proceedings or developments in the litigation which could result in the negative perception by investors, which could cause the price of the Company's common stock to decline dramatically.
Indemnification of Officers and Directors for Securities Liabilities. The Company's By-Laws eliminates personal liability in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS). Section 78.7502 of the NRS provides that a corporation may eliminate personal liability of an officer or director to the corporation or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer or director provided that such indemnification is limited if such party acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation. In so far as indemnification for liability arising from the Securities Act of 1933 ("Act")may be permitted to Directors, Officers or persons controlling the Company, it has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Penny Stock Regulation. The Company's common stock may be deemed a "penny stock" under federal securities laws. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that define a "penny stock" generally to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These regulations impose additional sales practice requirements on any broker/dealer who sell such securities to other than established investors and accredited investors. For transactions covered by this rule, the broker/dealer must make certain suitability determinations and must receive the purchaser's written consent prior to purchase. Additionally, any transaction may require the delivery prior to sale of a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission. Disclosure also is required to be made of commissions payable to the broker/dealer and the registered representative, as well as current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account of the customers and information on the limited market in penny stocks. These requirements generally are considered restrictive to the purchase of such stocks, and may limit the market liquidity for such securities.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's Financial Statements, including the Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Please note the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 of Amanasu Techno Holdings Corporation have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements the Company had a working capital deficiency of $248,103 as well as an accumulated deficit of $1,741,050. These factors, among other things discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.
Company Overview
The Company was organized on December 1, 1997. Its operations to date have been limited to obtaining the license to various environmental and other technologies, and conducting preliminary marketing efforts.
Plan Of Operations
The Company is a development stage corporation. It has not commenced its planned operations of manufacturing and marketing technology products. Its operations to date have been limited to conducting various tests on its technologies.
On April 27th, 2009, the Company acquired Amanasu Water Corporation from its brother company Amanasu Environment Corporation. The Company was to assist Amanasu Water Corporation under a new name, Amanasu Support Corporation, to manufacture and market technologies which the Company believes have great market potential. On February 7, 2012, the Company sold its interest in Amanasu Support Corporation and will pursue development opportunities on its own.
The first technology is a fast microbe detection system for processed and unprocessed foods, called Biomonitec Glaze developed 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 a 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 is seeking, manufacturing partners.
The Company will also be concentrating its capital raising efforts to enter into the NASDAQ Global Market. The Company's target in the next two years is to raise $30,000,000.
Other than the provision of alternating business planning costs discussed above, the Company's cash requirements for the next 12 months are estimated to be $165,000. This amount is comprised of the following estimate expenditures; $100,000 in annual salaries for office personnel, office expenses and travel, $30,000 for rent, $20,000 for professional fees, and $15,000 for miscellaneous expenses.
As stated above, the Company can not 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 $300,000, it may not be able to complete its plan of operations as discussed above.
The company is expecting to gain the capital from issuing and selling shares of the Company.
Liquidity And Capital Resources
In October 2001, the Company received $46,000 from four investors and $400,000 resulting from the exercise of stock options for 20,000,000 shares of common stock by the Company's principal shareholder. During the 2003 period, the Company also received $99,900 from a potential investor that subsequently declined to invest. The potential investor has cancelled that debt based on business services provided by Mr. Maki, President of the Company. The deposit has been credited to paid in capital. The Company intends to raise additional funds in the near future through private placements of its common stock. $50,000 was received for stock sales in 2013. The proceeds from such private placements will be allocated for administrative salaries, office expenses and travel, product development and testing.
Results of Operations
During the fiscal 2013 and 2012, the Company spent $-0- and $-0- respectively on research and development.
Total assets as of December 31, 2013 were $25,241, compared to $3,981 as of December 31, 2012. Total Current Liabilities as of December 31, 2013 was $366,444 compared to $357,727 at December 31, 2012. The increase is primarily due to accrued interest on debt.
Selling and administrative expenses as during 2013 was $27,523 compared to $15,641 during the same period in 2012. The increase is due primarily to higher professional fees and filing costs due to the 2012 sale of Amanasu Support.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANAGEMENTS
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using accelerated methods, 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 a n 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.
Use Of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts 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 estimated.
Advertising Costs
The Company will expense advertising costs when an advertisement occurs. There has been no spending thus far on advertising.
Other Comprehensive Income
The Company reports as other comprehensive income revenues, expenses, and gains and losses that are not included in the determination of net income; principal among these has been unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange rate fluxuation.
Foreign Currency Translation

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. 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, 2013, and a record of continuing losses.

6. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Included in administrative expenses are the following items:
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 $948,602 at December 31, 2013. 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 2033.
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. The valuation allowance increased by $12,735 during the year.
Following is a table of NOL expiration dates:

10.STOCK OPTIONS
On May 9, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 1,000,000 options to purchase Company common stock. These options vested upon issuance and are exercisable for a period of ten years at .05 per share, expiring May 9, 2019. The fair value of these options at the date of issuance was $10,000, determined by a Black Sholes valuation model. There is disagreement regarding the value of services performed in exchange for these options. They will be continued at $10,000 until the contract can be resolved.
11. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls
We carried out an evaluation required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that (i) information required to be disclosed in an issuer's reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of our objectives and processes and effect on the information generated for use in this Report. This type of evaluation is done quarterly so that the conclusions concerning the effectiveness of these controls can be reported in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.
Our report on management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, as reported in our original filing on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, was not prepared in the manner prescribed in Rule 13a-15. We have implemented the required processes and compensatory controls to minimize the risk of any recurrence and we will continue to develop processes that will be necessary as the business grows, and financial reporting becomes more complex. We intend to maintain these controls as processes that may be appropriately modified as circumstances warrant.
Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in timely alerting them to material information which, is required to be included in our periodic reports filed with the SEC as of the filing of this Report.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the company's internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Exchange Act rule 13a - 15 and based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting were ineffective as of December 31, 2012.
However, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor have we engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform, an audit on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this Annual Report.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors since the date of the Chief Executive Officer's and Principal Financial Officer's evaluation that could significantly affect these internal controls, including any corrective actions with regards to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
