You are cautioned that such statements are subject to a multitude of risks and uncertainties that could cause future circumstances, events, or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, including the risks that actual results may differ

he 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 March 31, 2016, and a record of continuing losses.

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 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.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
History
Amanasu Environment Corporation ("Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 22, 1999 under the name of Forte International Inc. On March 27, 2001, the Company's name was changed to Amanasu Energy Corporation, and on November 13, 2002, its name was changed to Amanasu Environment Corporation.
It has acquired the exclusive, worldwide license rights to a high temperature furnace, a hot water boiler, and ring-tube desalination methodology. 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, conducting limited product marketing, and testing the
technologies for commercial sale. For each such technology, proto-type or demonstrational units have been constructed by each licensor or inventor of the technology. The Company has conducted various internal tests on these units to determine the commercial viability of the underlying technologies. As a result of such testing, the Company believes that the products are not commercially ready for sale, and that product refinements are necessary with respect to each of the technologies. In addition, the Company
may seek joint venture or other affiliations with companies competitive in each respective product market whereby the Company can capitalize on the existing infrastructure of such other companies, such as product design and engineering, marketing and sales, and warranty and post-warranty service and repair. The Company believes that its marketing efforts to sell any of its products will be limited until such time as it can complete the refinements of its technologies. The Company cannot predict whether it will
be successful in developing commercial products, or establishing affiliations with any operating company.

History (continued)
On June 8, 2000, the Company obtained the exclusive, worldwide license to a technology that disposes of toxic and hazardous wastes through a proprietary, high temperature combustion system, known as the Amanasu Furnace. The
rights were obtained pursuant to a license agreement with Masaichi Kikuchi, the inventor of the technology, for a period
of 30 years. The Company issued 1,000,000 share of common stock to the inventor and 200,000 shares of common stock to a director of the inventor's company. Under the licensing agreement; the Company is required to pay the licensor a royalty of two percent of the gross receipts from the sale of products using the technology. If the Company fails to comply with any provision of the agreement after a 90-day notice period, the licensor may terminate the agreement.
Effective September 30, 2002, the Company obtained the exclusive, worldwide license to a hot water boiler technology that incinerates waste tires in a safe and non-polluting manner and extracts heat energy from the incineration process. The rights were obtained pursuant to a license agreement with Sanyo Kogyo Kabushiki Gaisha and Ever Green Planet
Corporation, both Japanese companies, for a period of 30 years. As consideration for this acquisition, the Company paid the licensors $250,000, of which the Company's President paid $95,000, issued to them 600,000 shares of common stock, and issued to an affiliate of the licensors 50,000 shares of common stock. The licensors are entitled to receive a two percent royalty on the gross receipts from the sale of the products related to the technology. If the Company fails to comply with any provision of the agreement
after a 90-day notice period, the licensor may terminate the agreement.
On June 30, 2003, the Company acquired the exclusive worldwide rights to produce and market a patented technology that purifies seawater, and removes hazardous pollutants from wastewater. The rights were obtained pursuant to a license agreement with Etsuro Sakagami, the inventor, for a period of 30 years. As consideration for obtaining the license, the
Company issued 1,000,000 shares to the inventor and 50,000 shares to a finder. The licensor is entitled to receive a two percent royalty on the gross receipts from the sale of the products related to the technology. If the Company fails to comply with any provision of the agreement after a 90-day notice period, the licensor may terminate the agreement.
Current
During recent years, the Company has embarked on a mission to achieve a capital-raising goal of $30,000,000 to increase the Company’s potential by entering into the NASDAQ global market. The Company’s main objective has not changed for the coming fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
raise the funds on acceptable terms or at all.
Aside from capital raising efforts, the Company has been supporting Amanasu Maritek Corporation, in the development and required regulatory approval for the Commercial Cargo Ship Ballast Water Purification System. The Company and Amanasu Maritek Corporation have been working through the approval process of this type of product with the Japanese regulatory
bodies. Also, required documentation, and translations have been prepared for additional approval by the main global governing body for marine technologies, IMO the International Marine Organization. So far, the Company has been unable to obtain approval for the Commercial Cargo Ship Ballast Water Purification System. In adhering to the guidelines set by the IMO and the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the Company needs to collaborate with a shipbuilding company to conduct experiments
and tests, requiring 2-3 years and a minimum budget of $10,000,000. Due to a lack of resources, the Company is currently seeking partners who are interested in developing such businesses and technologies acquired by Amanasu Maritek Corporation, the Company's subsidiary.

Furthermore, the Company is making plans to enter the reforestation industry in Japan, through Amanasu Maritek Corporation. Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, approximately 1 million houses need to be rebuilt, causing wood to be in high demand. Also, the Japanese Government currently subsidizes new firms entering the reforestation industry, giving
the Company an opportunity to enter an industry that is reflective of its vision.
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.
PRODUCTS
Currently the Company is supporting Amanasu Maritek Corporation in development and required regulatory approval for a Commercial Cargo Ship Ballast Water Purification System. No licensing agreements with partners have been made at this time, as the Company is also in the process of raising capital for this project. Currently the company is negotiating with
its partners for a worldwide manufacturing and sales agreement. The Company cannot guarantee if the negotiations will succeed.
PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company has three main objectives during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. Firstly, the Company will continue in its goal to meet the capital objective of $30,000,000. Currently the company is exploring various potential investment partners in Japan, as well as China. The Company cannot predict whether it will be successful with its objective.
Secondly the Company will continue to support the efforts of Amanasu Maritek Corporation to enter into marine technologies. The Company will assist for another year in the design, and approval process for the product from at least 2 regulatory bodies: the Japanese Government, and the IMO (International Marine Organization). This approval process requires
capital for additional product testing, documentation, and documentation translations. The Company believes that Amanasu Maritek Corporation's most significant hurdle will be in capital raising. The Company has already initiated documentation and application processes, and is now looking for capital to fund the project. The Company cannot predict whether it will be successful with its capital raising efforts.
Thirdly, the Company is making plans to enter the reforestation industry in Japan, through Amanasu Maritek Corporation. The Company must first reach an agreement with the relevant government agencies in Japan. The Company intends to focus on the prefectures of Miyagi, Iwate and Niigata and begin operations within 12 months. The Company cannot predict whether
it will be successful with its objective.
