Risk Factors
The purchase of the Shares is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and significant dilution. Prospective investors should carefully consider all of the information contained in this PROSPECTUS and, in particular, the following factors which could adversely affect the operations and prospects of the Company, before making a decision to purchase the Shares.
Cautionary Statements
The following are cautionary statements made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 in order for the Company to avail itself of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Reform Act. The discussions and information in this PROSPECTUS may contain both historical and forward-looking statements. To the extent that the PROSPECTUS contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects, or any other aspect of the Company, please be advised that the Company's actual financial condition, operating results and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by the Company in forward-looking statements. The difference may be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to adverse economic conditions, intense competition, including entry of new competitors and products, adverse federal, state and local government regulation, inadequate capital, unexpected costs and operating defic its, lower sales and revenues than forecast, technological obsolescence of the Company's facilities, loss of customers, inability to obtain and retain customers, inability to attract new customers or to maintain customer satisfaction, inability to establish consumer confidence in conducting transactions internationally, price competition, inability to upgrade and develop its international distribution network and attract or retain qualified personnel, economic conditions specific to foreign commerce and trade, termination of contracts, loss of supplies, price increases for supplies, the risk of litigation and administrative proceedings involving the Company and its employees, higher than anticipated labor costs, the possible acquisition of new businesses that result in operating losses or that do not perform as anticipated, resulting in unanticipated losses, the possible fluctuation and volatility of the Company's operating results and financial condition, adverse publicity and news coverage, inability to ca rry out marketing and sales plans, loss of key executives, changes in interest rates, inflation factors, and other specific risks that may be alluded to in this PROSPECTUS or in other reports issued by the Company.
Potential Loss of Entire Investment
Ownership of common shares of the company involves a high degree of risk and is not recommended for any investor who cannot afford a total loss of his/her investment. Due to the limited liability of investors in a corporation, however, any investor's loss will be limited to the amount of funds invested. No other liability will accrue.
We need to manage our Growth Effectively
We may have and may continue to experience rapid growth, which may place a significant strain on our managerial, financial and operational resources. We will be required to manage multiple relationships with various vendors, distributors and other third parties. These requirements will be strained in the event of our rapid growth or in the number of third party relationships, and there can be no assurance that our systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations, or that our management will be able to manage any growth effectively. We will need to: (1) improve our financial management and controls, reporting systems and procedures; (2) expand, train and manage our workforce for marketing, sales and support, product development, site design, maintenance, network and equipment repair; and (3) manage multiple relationships with various vendors, distributors and other third parties.
The Company is Subject to a Competitive Marketplace
There can be no assurance that the company will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures faced by the company will not materially adversely affect the company's business, operating results or financial condition. Further, as a strategic response to changes in the competitive environment, the company may make certain pricing, service or marketing decisions or enter into acquisitions or new ventures that could have a material adverse effect on the company's business, operating results or financial condition.
The Loss of Services of Key Personnel could impair Chances for Success
Our performance will be substantially dependent on the performance of our entire executive staff that has worked together (some of them) for only a short period of time. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditions. Each officer will devote his full-time to working on our affairs. Competition for senior management, experienced personnel, qualified representatives and other employees is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. Our failure to successfully manage our personnel requirements would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Foreign government regulations and legal uncertainties could jeopardize the Company
Our products and/or their manufacturing and/or their distribution are currently subject to direct regulations by foreign and local governments. Since most, if not all, of the company's products are manufactured in foreign countries including but not limited to the Russian Federation, the products may be subject to volatile governmental control which may adversely affect the financial position of the company as well as vendor and distributor relations.
Financial Projections
Financial projections concerning the estimated operating results and financial condition of the Company may be prepared by management, although no projections or forecasts are included in the PROSPECTUS. Any projection regarding the Company would be based on certain assumptions, which may prove to be inaccurate, and which are subject to future conditions which may be beyond the control of the Company, such as general industry trade conditions.
Trademarks and Trade names
The Company believes that its trademarks and trade names will have significant value and will be important to the marketing of its services and products. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to register its trademarks and trade names with the United States Office of Patents and Trademarks, that the Company's marks and names will not violate the proprietary rights of others, that the Company's marks and names would be upheld if challenged, or that the Company will not be prevented from using its marks and names, any of which could have an adverse effect on the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will have the financial resources necessary to enforce or defend its trademarks and service marks.
Uninsured Losses
There is no assurance that the Company will not incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of its business. The Company plans to maintain comprehensive liability and property insurance at customary levels. The Company will also evaluate the availability and cost of business interruption insurance.
This is a Best Efforts Offering
This offering is being conducted directly by our officers on a "best-efforts" basis. No underwriter, placement agent, or other person has contracted with us to purchase or sell all, or a portion of, the securities offered hereby and there is no assurance that we can sell all or any of the securities. Due to the absence of an underwriter, there may be less due diligence performed in conjunction with this offering than would be performed in a firm underwritten offering. It is also important to note that there are no restrictions as to whether officers, directors or beneficial shareholders can purchase securities in the offering or the amounts they are able to purchase.
We May be Unable to raise the needed Capital in the Future, which would adversely affect your Investment
The Company is taking steps to prepare for and obtain funding. There can be no assurance that needed financing will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to fund our future operations, promote our brand as we desire, take advantage of anticipated acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance services or respond to competitive pressures.
Dividends are highly unlikely in the foreseeable future
The company is not restricted from paying cash dividends, however, the company presently plans to use earnings to pay for marketing, development, acquisitions and future expansion in order to expand the Company through the global marketplace as well as to maintain and bring the Company to a debt free status. It is unlikely that any cash dividends will be declared in the foreseeable future.
There is no Public Market for the Company's Securities
At the present time, there is no known public market for the Company's stock, and a public market may not be available in the foreseeable future. The Company plans to provide liquidity to its shareholders by applying for an Exchange listing, and to further develop a public market for its common stock by soliciting securities brokers to become market makers of the Company's stock. However, there is no guarantee that the company will succeed in obtaining any of these listings nor can there be an assurance that the Company will be successful in soliciting a market-maker if and when it attempts to do so. There is no assurance that the price of the shares in any market, which may develop, will be greater than the offering price. As a result of these factors, purchasers of the shares offered hereby may not be able to liquidate an investment in the shares readily or at all. In view of the absence of an underwriter there is little likelihood that a regular trading market will develop in th e near term, if at all, or that if developed it will be sustained. Accordingly, an investment in these Shares should not be considered highly liquid.
We have Broad Discretion to Allocate Net Proceeds
We have broad discretion to allocate a substantial portion of the proceeds of this Offering, in both dollar and percentage terms, on a net proceeds basis. See "Plan of Distribution"
Arbitrary Determination of Offering Price
In determining the offering price, the Company considered, among other things, estimates of the business potential of the Company and the relative capabilities of the management of the Company. The offering price does not necessarily bear any relationship to assets, book value, net worth or earnings history of the Company or other investment criteria. The offering price of the Common Stock should not necessarily be considered an indication of the actual value of the Company's securities.
Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This offering includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Offering, including, without limitation, the statements under "Risk Factors," "Business and Properties" and "Plan of Distribution" regarding the Company's strategies, plans, objectives and expectations, the Company's ability to acquire intellectual property, the Company's ability to market such intellectual property to potential customers, the Company's ability to design, develop, manufacture and market products; the ability of the Company's products to obtain commercial acceptance; the Company's ability to achieve new product commercialization; the anticipated growth of its target markets; its future operating results; and other matters are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable at this time, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations ("Cautionary Statements") are set forth in these "Risk Factors," as well as elsewhere in this Offering. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the Cautionary Statements.
Future Issuance of Stock by the Company
Following the placement of the Shares available for purchase through this offering, the Company is expected to have outstanding 625,000 shares of Common Stock out of a total of 30 million shares of Common Stock authorized. The remaining shares of Common Stock not issued or reserved for specific purposes may be issued without any action or approval of the Company's stockholders. In the future, the Company's Articles of Incorporation may also be amended to authorize the issuance of Preferred Stock on terms that may be fixed by the Company's Board of Directors without further stockholder action. No shares of Preferred Stock are presently authorized, issued or outstanding. The terms of any future series of Preferred Stock, which may include priority claims to assets and dividends, and special voting rights, could adversely affect the rights of holders of the Common Stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will not undertake to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Preferr ed Stock if it deems the issuance appropriate. See "DILUTION."
Note:In addition to the above risks, businesses are often subject to risks not foreseen or fully appreciated by management. In reviewing this Disclosure Document potential investors should keep in mind other possible risks that could be important.
Offering Period
Subscriptions will be accepted by the Company, unless terminated earlier or extended by the Company, in its sole discretion, to a date no later than April 1, 2002 ("Expiration Date"). Should the Company receive the maximum $10,000,000 in proceeds prior to the Expiration Date, it will declare the Offering closed without further notice to subscribers. Further, THE COMPANY RETAINS THE RIGHT TO CANCEL OR WITHDRAW THE OFFERING AT ANY TIME WITHOUT LIABILITY TO THE COMPANY, WITH NO OBLIGATION TO RETURN SUBSCRIBER'S FUNDS PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED.
USE OF PROCEEDS
THE PROJECTED USE OF PROCEEDS BELOW IS BASED LARGELY ON THE COMPANY'S RESEARCH OF THE INDUSTRY AND IS A PROJECTION ONLY. ACTUAL USE OF PROCEEDS COULD VARY SIGNIFICANTLY AT ANY TIME DURING AND/OR AFTER THE OFFERING PERIOD (see "RISK FACTORS").

Management believes that the proceeds of the Offering will enhance the Company's ability to grow its business, through increased financial strength, both as enumerated above and in respect to increased ability to take advantage of future opportunities as they arise.
Management of the Company will have substantial discretion in the use of the Offering proceeds, and shareholders generally will have no opportunity to vote upon management decisions regarding use of proceeds prior to their utilization (See "Risk Factors"). If management determines that the use of proceeds of this Offering described above is impractical or inadvisable, the Company may apply the Offering proceeds in such a manner as management deems appropriate under the existing circumstances, which may vary significantly based on a number of factors, the effect of which are difficult to predict.
The foregoing represents the Company's best estimate of its use of the net proceeds of this Offering based upon present planning and business conditions. As a forward looking statement based on its current operations, the Company believes that the proceeds raised hereby will be sufficient to meet the Company's financial needs for at least twelve months following the date of the Offering.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABLILITIES
Limitations of Liability and Indemnification
Under Nevada Corporation Law and the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Company's directors will have no personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by a director of his "duty of care". This provision does not apply to the director's (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross negligence.
The effect of this provision in the Company's Articles of Incorporation is to eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders (through stockholder's derivative on behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (vi) above. This provision does not limit nor eliminate the rights of the Company or any stockholder to see non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care. In addition, the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides that if Nevada law is amended to authorize the future elimination or limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of the directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the law, as amended. The Delaware Corporations Code grants corporations the right to indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with applicable law. The Company's Bylaws provide for indemnification of such persons to the full extent allowable under applicable law. These provisions will not alter the liability of the directors under federal securities laws.
The Company intends to enter into agreements to indemnify its directors and officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Company's Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify the Company's directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorney's fees), judgment, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the Company, arising out of such person's services as a director or officer of the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the request of the Company. The Company believes that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the o pinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as express in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
ORGANIZATION WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS
The officer, directors, affiliates and scientists spent more than 20 years developing, patenting, and testing the technology.,
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
AMRUS TECHNOLOGY, INC.,a Nevada corporation (the "Company") installs fixed and hand held proprietary equipment (LIDAR detectors) to screen for explosives, bullets, chemical and biological weaponry. The company has programming and software for monitoring centers of the company and Government Enforcement Centers to monitor signals and be able to apprehend and prevent attempted attacks and to prevent the loss of lives and property. The installations will be done to scan entrances, driveways, side walks and etc. of federal and state building, private buildings, schools, industrial facilities, airport facilities, train stations and other objects as ordered.
The Company provides to the world market technology for analytical sensing, determination and physical quantification of chemical, biological states to targets, identifications and quantification of atomic, molecular and/or biological species in various media.
The company provides to the world market the most reliable automated currency detectors. The United States Treasury Department has found the detectors to be the most accurate technology in the field.
The company provides to the market a whole range of recently developed state of the art LIDAR technology, which include a wide range of sensing, measuring on a distance from oil leaks on pipelines, oil spills from tankers, fertilization of fields, explosives, bullets, chemical and biological weaponry and etc.
The equipment are developed and produced, manufactured and operate per customer requests and are used as payloads for the ground, air or sea borne platforms (Helicopter, airplanes, coastal boat platforms, marine station platforms, truck, truck minivan, as well as building structures and etc.)
Amrus Technology, Inc. provided quantitative measurements and are now considered an essential component of major programs such as space and planetary exploration, energy balance, natural and anthropogenic global changes, earth and earth space monitoring, arms control, global weather forecasting, and the most quite essential element: as prevention, protection and defense of the country from terrorist attack, diversions, biological and chemical weaponry, explosives to prevent loss of life and property.
The technology can protect earth, the water, the atmosphere and environment.
Industry Background
The condition of the industry today is such that it became extremely costly when high spatial resolution is needed. Such need requires time consuming, tracking and analysis of a great number of samples. The existing equipment is unable to deliver the data and on the spot analysis in real time and its provides an undue strain for obtaining and delivering information from areas such as where a multitude of people, (for example: people are passing through a desirable check point, and being remotely scanned for inaccessible targets in the luggage, pockets, boxes and etc.) The convention technology is not only cost prohibited, but mainly depends on human judgment and is prone to a high degree of error. For example: after the September 11, 2001 events in New York and Washington D.C. the security of newly opened airports was brought to the highest possible level of security, however by a test conducted by CNN on the same airport where the terrorists boarded the plane, the journalist was a ble to pass the checkpoint with a loaded guns. With the technology of Amrus Technology, Inc. the passing through the checkpoint with one bullet, is an impossibility.
Amrus Technology, Inc. in a joint venture with its supporting scientific centers is ready for installation of technology which is a major breakthrough in industry, namely in real time LIDAR portable analytical systems becoming commonly accessible and cost effective for quantitative, remote and range resolving sensing of on-site measurements where conventional utilization is impossible or impractical. L.J. Bean has illustrated recent enthusiasm based on technology provided by Amrus Technology, Inc., its affiliated scientific centers the technology market potential: "Thought portable spectroscopy is still in its infancy, it is not to bold to suggest that this field could revolutionize the way chemical composition, color and appearance, particle composition and other properties are analyzed. (Photonics Spectra, Jan 1, 99) Today the technology of Amrus Technology, Inc. is doing what L.J. Bean predicted in 1999.
The company is strategically positioned for a major share in the world market.
Previous Financing and Development Arrangement
The Officers and Directors of the Company have supported the company both financially through out of pocket expenses and through their time and effort as well as contributing to acquisition of the companies assets. The Officers and Directors began their support from before the Company was ever incorporated. Officers, Directors and Joint Venturers have agreed to waive the expense they incurred prior to the Company's incorporation so as not to produce a burden on a newly incorporated company.
Proprietary Rights
The Company believes its trademarks; service marks, trade secrets and intellectual property are essential to its success. The Company relies upon trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements with its employees, customers and others to protect its proprietary rights. The Company will be pursuing the registration of its service marks and trademarks in the United States and internationally. While the Company will endeavor to rely on trademark, trade secret and copyright law to protect its intellectual property, the Company believes that factor such as the technology and creative skills of personnel, new product development, frequent product enhancements, name recognition and reliable product maintenance are more essential to establishing and maintaining a business leadership position. The Company presently has no patents or patent applications pending.
The Company has entered into confidentiality or license agreements with its employees, consultants and vendors, and generally controls access to and distribution of its other proprietary information. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries, and the global nature of the companies operations make it virtually impossible to control the ultimate destination of the Company's products. See "RISK FACTORS."
Employees
As of July 2001, the Company had 120 full-time employees inclusive the scientific center joint venture, which include its executive staff. The Company may engage additional consultants in the future. See "MANAGEMENT."

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. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Amrus Technologies, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and as of December 31, 2000 and related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Indemnification Of Directors And Officers.
Limitations of Liability and Indemnification
Under Nevada Corporation Law and the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Company's directors will have no personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by a director of his "duty of care". This provision does not apply to the director's (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross negligence.
The effect of this provision in the Company's Articles of Incorporation is to eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders (through stockholder's derivative shits on behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (vi) above. This provision does not limit nor eliminate the rights of the Company or any stockholder to see non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care. In addition, the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides that if Nevada law is amended to authorize the future elimination or limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of the directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the law, as amended. The Nevada Corporations Code grants corporations the right to indemn ify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with applicable law. The Company's Bylaws provide for indemnification of such persons to the full extent allowable under applicable law. These provisions will not alter the liability of the directors under federal securities laws.
The Company intends to enter into agreements to indemnify its directors and officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Company's Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify the Company's directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorney's fees), judgment, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the Company, arising out of such person's services as a director or officer of the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the request of the Company. The Company believes that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the o pinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as express in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Other expenses of Issuance and Distribution
The company currently does not have expenses of issuance and distribution.
