(the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada in September, 1999. The Company's corporate offices are located at 112 Middle Road, #08-01 Midland House, Singapore 188970; telephone (65) 6332 9287. The Company's previous address was 610 Newport Center Drive, Suite 1400, Newport Beach, California 92660. The Company was organized for the purposes of creating a corporate vehicle to locate and acquire an operating business entity which management believes is a suitable acquisition candidate. The Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and has no operating history other than organizational matters. The Company had no operating business in fiscal year 2003. The Company did not intend to develop its own operating business but instead was seeking to effect a merger (a "Merger") with a corporation which owned an operating business and wished to undertake a Merger for its own corporate purposes (a "Merger Target"), generally related to achieving liquidity for its stockholders. The primary activity of the Company in fiscal year 2003 involved seeking a Merger Target. As of February 25, 2004 (the "Closing Date"), Amaru, Inc. (the "Company") acquired M2B World Pte Ltd., a Singapore corporation ("M2B World") in exchange for 19,500,000 newly issued "restricted" shares of common voting stock of the Company and 143,000 "restricted" Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shares to the M2B World shareholders on a pro rata basis for the purpose of effecting a tax-free reorganization pursuant to sections 351, 354 and 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("IRC") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement") by and between the Company, M2B World and M2B World shareholders. As a condition of the closing of the share exchange transaction, certain shareholders of the Company cancelled a total of 1,457,500 shares of common stock. Each one (1) ordinary share of M2B World has been exchanged for 1.3636363 shares of the Company's Common Stock and 100 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of newly issued Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted to 38.461538 shares of the Company's common stock. Following the Closing Date, there were 20,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding and 143,000 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. Immediately prior to the Closing , there were 500,000 shares issued and outstanding. M2B World is in the business of broadband entertainment and education-on-demand, streaming via computers, television sets, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant) and in the near future through third generation devices; 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 and E-commerce. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company resigned and is to be replaced with the designee of M2B World set forth in Item 9, effective approximately on the tenth day following the mailing of this informational statement, and the current officers resigned upon the Closing Date. The sole director of the Company prior to the Closing was Sahra Partida. In fiscal year 2003, the Board of Directors has elected to begin implementing the Company's principal business purpose, which was at that time to locate a Merger Target and consummate a Merger. In addition, Sahra M. Partida, who served as the Company's officer and director until February, 2003, also serves as the sole director and officer of four other companies (identified in Part III, Item 9 below) that contemplate the same business activities as the Company did and thus competed directly with the Company. As a result, there may have been a conflict of interest with respect to prospective Merger Targets and presenting the corporate opportunity to the Company. In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada are required to present certain business opportunities to such corporation. As a result of Ms. Partida's business associations with multiple companies she had and will have conflicting interests. Therefore, the Company has agreed that with respect to conflicts of interest amongst these companies related to the allocation of opportunities to negotiate and Merge with Merger Targets, the Company will waive any conflict or claim related to Ms. Partida's fiduciary duty. 1 Item 2. Description of Property ----------------------- The Company neither owned nor leased any real property in fiscal year 2003. Pursuant to an oral agreement with Ms. Iwona Alami, the Company's majority stockholder and legal counsel, the Company utilized the office space of her lawfirm as its principal executive office. Such office was located at 610 Newport Center Drive, Suite #1400, Newport Beach, California 92660. Following the closing of the transaction with M2B World Pte., Ltd. in February, 2004, the Company's principal executive offices are located at 112 Middle Road, #08-01 Middland House, Singapore 188970. The Company has not invested in any real property at this time nor does the Company intend to do so. The Company has no formal policy with respect to investments in real estate or investments with persons primarily engaged in real estate activities. Item 3. Legal Proceedings ----------------- We are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders --------------------------------------------------- No matter was submitted to a vote of stockholders in the fourth quarter of 2003. PART II Item 5. Market for Company's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters ------------------------------------------------------------------ NO PUBLIC MARKET The Company's Common Stock is currently not traded on any public trading market. Management intends to file an application with National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. to initiate the quotation of its common stock on NASD's over-the-counter market (the "Bulletin Board") pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. No assurances can be given that NASD will approve the Company's application. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 25,000,000 shares, of which 20,000,000 shares have been designated Common Stock, $0.001 par value, and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value. At December 31, 2003, there were 1,957,500 shares of Common Stock outstanding and held of record by 32 stockholders. Following the closing of the transaction with M2B World, there were 20,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding and 143,000 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. In addition, in February, 2004, the Company approved the amendment to its articles of incorporation increasing its authorized capital stock to up to 200 million shares of common stock. The Company anticipated that such amendment will be filed in April of 2004. DIVIDENDS The Company does not expect to pay any dividends at this time. The payment of dividends, if any, will be contingent upon the Company's revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and may be subject to restrictions under the terms of any debt or other financing arrangements that the Company may enter into in the future. The Company presently intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the Company's business operations and accordingly, the Board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES In September, 1999, Liliana Partida and Iwona Alami, the Company's founders and majority shareholders acquired 900,000 shares of Common Stock each for the consideration of $900 each in connection with the formation of the Company. Liliana Partida paid for the shares issued to her in cash; Iwona Alami rendered legal services to the Company as consideration for the shares issued to her. The shares were issued without registration in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. 2 Commencing May 1, 2000, and ending August 20, 2000, the Company conducted an offering of its Common Stock (the "Private Placement"), in reliance upon the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D (Rule 506) promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company offered on a "best efforts" basis directly and through its officers and directors and through broker-dealers who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a maximum of 150,000 shares of Common Stock at an offering price of $0.03 per share, to investors who were "accredited investors" as defined in the Securities Act. An aggregate of 152,500 shares of Common Stock were sold in the Private Placement to a total of 29 accredited investors for gross proceeds of $4,575 (the maximum offering was increased by the Company). In August, 2000, the Company issued 5,000 shares of its Common Stock for paralegal services rendered to the Company. The Company is one of the following six companies in which investors in the Private Placement were required to make an equal investment: New Pacific, Inc., Corniche Corporation, ForSale.com, Inc., Rio Ventures, Inc., and Allonline.com. Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation --------------------------------------------------------- Plan of Operation Statements contained in this Plan of Operation of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause the actual results of the Company, performance (financial or operating) or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements not to occur or be realized. Such forward-looking statements generally are based upon the Company's best estimates of future results, general merger and acquisition activity in the marketplace, performance or achievement, current conditions and the most recent results of operations. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "project," "expect," "believe," "estimate," "anticipate," "intends," "continue", "potential," "opportunity" or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms or other variations of those terms or comparable words or expressions. (See the "RISK FACTORS" section below for a description of certain of the known risks and uncertainties of the Company.) General In fiscal year 2003, our plan was to seek, investigate, and if such investigation warrants, consummate a merger or other business combination, purchase of assets or other strategic transaction (i.e. Merger) with a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity (a "Merger Target") desiring the perceived advantages of becoming a publicly reporting and publicly held corporation. Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their report for the year ended December 31, 2003, indicating that certain conditions raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included in this Form 10-KSB do not include any adjustment to asset values or recorded amounts of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we are unable to continue as a going concern. If we are in fact unable to continue as a going concern, shareholders may lose their entire investment in our common stock. Selecting a Merger Target was complex and involved a high degree of risk. Because of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries, and shortages of available capital, management believes that there are numerous entities seeking the benefits of being a publicly-traded corporation. Many potential Merger Targets are in industries that have essentially not presented well in the conventional IPO market, regardless of their financial success, and suffer from low initial valuations. The perceived benefits of being a publicly traded corporation may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes and regulations) for the principals of a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes and regulations) for all stockholders, and other items. Potential Merger Targets may exist in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which renders the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such Merger Targets extremely difficult and complex. 3 We offered owners of Merger Targets the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a public company at substantially less cost than is required to conduct an initial public offering. Nevertheless, we have not conducted any specific market research and we are not aware of statistical data which would support the perceived benefits of a Merger or acquisition transaction for the owners of a Merger Target. Transaction with M2B World As of February 25, 2004 (the "Closing Date"), Amaru, Inc. acquired M2B World Pte Ltd., a Singapore corporation ("M2B World") in exchange for 19,500,000 newly issued "restricted" shares of common voting stock of the Company and 143,000 "restricted" Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shares to the M2B World shareholders on a pro rata basis for the purpose of effecting a tax-free reorganization pursuant to sections 351, 354 and 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("IRC") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement") by and between the Company, M2B World and M2B World shareholders. As a condition of the closing of the share exchange transaction, certain shareholders of the Company cancelled a total of 1,457,500 shares of common stock. In connection with the transaction, the Company paid $30,000 for consulting services. Each one (1)ordinary share of M2B World has been exchanged for 1.3636363 shares of the Company's Common Stock and 100 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of newly issued Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted to 38.461538 shares of the Company's common stock. Following the Closing Date, there were 20,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding and 143,000 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. Immediately prior to the Closing , there were 500,000 shares issued and outstanding. M2B World is in the business of broadband entertainment and education-on-demand, streaming via computers, television sets, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant) and in the near future through third generation devices; 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 and E-commerce. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company resigned and is to be replaced with the designee of M2B World set forth in Item 9, effective approximately on the tenth day following the mailing of this informational statement, and the current officers resigned upon the Closing Date. Following the closing of the transaction with M2B World, there were 20,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding and 143,000 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. Selection and Evaluation of Merger Targets Our management, which in fiscal year 2003, consisted of Ms. Partida, had complete discretion and flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective Merger Target with the assistance of our legal counsel or other consultants, as we deemed necessary. In connection with its evaluation of a prospective Merger Target, management conducted a due diligence review which encompassed, among other things, meeting with incumbent management and inspection of facilities, as well as a review of financial, legal and other information which was made available to us. Under the Federal securities laws, public companies must furnish stockholders certain information about significant acquisitions, which information may require audited financial statements for an acquired company with respect to one or more fiscal years, depending upon the nature of the specific acquisition. We filed Form 8-K in March, 2004 with respect to the acquisition of M2B World. We sought our Merger Targets from all known sources and anticipated that various prospective Merger Targets would be brought to our attention from various non-affiliated sources, including securities broker-dealers, investment bankers, venture capitalists, bankers, other members of the financial community and affiliated sources, including, possibly, our executive officer, director and his affiliates. We did not plan to and we did not pay a finder's fee or commission to our current officer and director or any entity with which he is affiliated for such service. 4 In analyzing prospective Merger Targets, management considered, among other factors, such matters as; o the available technical, financial and managerial resources; o working capital and other financial requirements; o the current Wall Street and other market and analyst's valuations of similarly situated companies; o history of operation, if any; o prospects for the future; o present and expected competition; o the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of that management; o the potential for further research, development or exploration; o specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the company; o the potential for growth or expansion; o the potential for profit; o the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services or trades; and o name recognition. There can be no assurance that the return on an investment in our securities will be realized, and or that there will be a market for the Company's stock. Tax Considerations in Structuring of a Merger As a general rule, Federal and state tax laws and regulations have a significant impact upon the structuring of Mergers. We typically evaluate the possible tax consequences of any prospective Merger and we endeavor to structure a Merger so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment to us, the Merger Target and our respective stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or relevant state tax authorities will ultimately assent to our tax treatment of a particular consummated Merger. To the extent the Internal Revenue Service or any relevant state tax authorities ultimately prevail in recharacterizing the tax treatment of a Merger, there may be adverse tax consequences to us, the Merger Target and our respective stockholders. Merger Target We were subject to intense competition in the business of seeking a Merger with a Merger Target. Such competition is from other entities having business strategies similar to ours. Many of these entities, including venture capital partnerships and corporations, other blind pool companies, large industrial and financial institutions, small business investment companies and wealthy individuals, are well-established and have extensive experience in connection with identifying and effecting Mergers directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us. Equipment and Employees In fiscal year 2003, we had no operating business and thus no equipment and no employees other than our president, who does not receive a salary. 5 Expenses for Year Ended December 31, 2003 Net cash used in operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 was ($18,037) compared to ($652) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. Net cash provided from financing activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 was $19,790 compared to $657 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, the Company had no revenues. The Company received a loan from a\ related party in the amount of 19,790. The expenses of $16,090 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 and $7,544 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 resulted primarily from accounting/auditing, legal and general administrative expenses relating to the Company's quarterly and annual filings with the Commission. The Company incurred substantial expenses, including expenses for professional and other services in January and February of 2004 in connection with its acquisition of M2B World. Item 7. Financial Statements -------------------- See the Financial Statements and related Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants included herewith as pages F-1 through F-9. 6 AMARU, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT-STAGE COMPANY) TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE ---- INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT OF MENDOZA BERGER & CO., LLP F-1 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Balance Sheet F-2 Statements of Operations F-3 Statements of Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) F-4 Statements of Cash Flows F-5 Notes to Financial Statements F-6 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Board of Directors and Stockholders Amaru, Inc. We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Amaru, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of Amaru, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and from inception (September 1, 1999) through December 31, 2001 were audited by another auditor, whose report dated May 3, 2002 on these statements included an explanatory paragraph that describes the Company's recurring losses, negative working capital and shareholders' capital deficiency which raised substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as discussed in the notes to the financial statements. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Amaru, Inc. as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company has been in the development stage since its inception, sustained losses and has used capital raised through the issuance of stock to fund activities, which raises substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in the notes to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Mendoza Berger & Company, LLP Irvine, California March 15, 2004 F-1 AMARU, INC.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND FOR THE PERIOD FROM INCEPTION SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 TO DECEMBER 31, 2003 GENERAL Amaru, Inc. ("the Company") is a Nevada corporation incorporated September 1, 1999. The Company is in the development stage and its intent is to operate as a capital market access corporation and to acquire one or more existing businesses through merger or acquisition. The Company has had no business activity to date. The accompanying financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has been in the development stage since its inception (September 1, 1999), sustained losses and has used capital raised through the issuance of stock and loans to fund activities. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is contingent upon establishing and achieving profitable operations. Such operations will require management to secure additional financing for the Company in the form of debt or equity. Management believes that actions currently being taken to revise the Company's funding requirements will allow the Company to continue its development stage operations. However, there is no assurance that the necessary funds will be realized by securing debt or through stock offerings. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company is expensing all start up expenses in accordance with AICPA Statements of Position 98-5. The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The Company has not recorded the tax benefit of the net operating loss carry-forward since realization is not certain. Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company has no shares that are dilutive. F-6 INCOME TAXES The components of the deferred tax asset is as follows: December December 31, 2003 31, 2002 --------- --------- Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carry-forward $ 11,200 $ 5,700 Valuation allowance (11,200) (5,700) --------- --------- Net deferred tax assets $ -- $ -- ========= ========= The Company had available approximately $33,000 and $16,900 of unused Federal net operating loss carry-forwards at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, that may be applied against future taxable income. These net operating loss carry-forwards expire for Federal purposes in 2023. There is no assurance that the Company will realize the benefit of the net operating loss carry-forwards. SFAS No. 109 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. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, valuations for the full amount of the net deferred tax asset were established due to the uncertainties as to the amount of the taxable income that would be generated in future years. Reconciliation of the differences between the statutory tax rate and the effective income tax rate is as follows: December December 31, 2003 31, 2002 --------- --------- Statutory federal tax (benefit) rate (34.0)% (34.0)% Valuation allowance 34.0% 34.0% --------- --------- Effective income tax rate 0.00% 0.00% ========= ========= EQUITY TRANSACTIONS In September 1999, the Company issued 900,000 shares of common stock to its President in exchange for cash of $900. In September 1999, the Company issued 900,000 shares of common stock in exchange for legal services valued at $900. In connection with private placements of its common stock, the Company has issued an aggregate of 152,500 shares of common stock in exchange for cash aggregating $4,350 and an additional 5,000 shares of common stock for services valued at $150. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company received legal services from a stockholder that aggregated $9,900 and $6,000 respectively. As of December 31, 2003, the Company owes the stockholder $7,074 for related services, and such amount is included in accounts payable in the accompanying balance sheet. The officers and directors of the Company receive no compensation for Company activity and the Company has reflected no expense in the statement of operations. The Company has no rented office space but uses the offices of one of the shareholders at no cost to the Company. The loan from M2B World Pte Ltd. ("M2B") is not evidenced by a note, bears no interest and is due on demand. F-7 SUBSEQUENT EVENT The Company entered into and executed an "Agreement and Plan of Reorganization" with M2B World Pte Ltd., a Singapore corporation ("M2B") as of February 25, 2004.
