Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This report and other reports, as well as other written and oral statements made or released by us, may contain forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are statements that describe, or that are based on, our current expectations, estimates, projections and beliefs. Forward looking statements are based on assumptions made by us, and on information currently available to us. Forward-looking statements describe our expectations today of what we believe is most likely to occur or may be reasonably achievable in the future, but such statements do not predict or assure any future occurrence and may turn out to be wrong. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. The words "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "estimate," "project", "predict", "hope", "should", "may", and "will", other words and expressions that have similar meanings, and variations of such words and expressions, among others, usually are intended to help identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are subject to both known and unknown risks and uncertainties and can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make. Risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those currently anticipated. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. The potential risks and uncertainties that could affect forward looking statements include, but are not limited to:

§ the risks of mineral exploration stage projects, § political risks in foreign countries, § risks associated with environmental and other regulatory matters, § exploration risks and competitors, § the volatility of gold and other mineral prices, § availability of financing, § movements in foreign exchange rates, § increased competition, governmental regulation, § performance of information systems, § ability of the Company to hire, train and retain qualified employees, § the availability of sufficient transportation, power and water resources, and § our ability to enter into key exploration and supply agreements and the performance of contract counterparties.

In addition, other risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and factors that could affect the Company's results and prospects are described in this report, including under the heading “"Risk Factors”" and elsewhere and may further be described in the Company's prior and future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other written and oral statements made or released by the Company.

We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document. The information contained in this report is current only as of its date, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Item 1 Business

General

Our name is Aurum, Inc. and we sometimes refer to ourselves in this Annual Report as “"Aurum”", the “"Company”" or as “"we,”" “"our,”" or “"us.”"

We were incorporated in the State of Florida on September 29, 2008 under the name Liquid Financial Engines, Inc. (“"Liquid”") and we changed our name to Aurum, Inc. (“"Aurum”") and our State of domicile to the State of Delaware.

Description of Business

Background

Aurum, Inc. is an exploration stage company and was incorporated in Florida to initially develop and market financial software systems for banks, brokerage firms, pension funds, family offices, and hedge funds.

In July 2009, Golden Target Pty Ltd, an Australian corporation ("Golden") acquired a 96% interest in Aurum from Daniel McKelvey and certain other stockholders. Mr. McKelvey resigned as Sole Director and Officer of Aurum, Joseph Gutnick was appointed President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director and Peter Lee was appointed Chief Financial Officer and Secretary.

Commencing August 2009, the Company decided to focus on mineral exploration for gold and copper in the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic. The Company's planned operations have not commenced and are considered to be in the exploration stage.

On January 20, 2010, the Company re-incorporated in the State of Delaware (the “"Reincorporation”") through a merger involving Liquid Financial Engines, Inc. (“"Liquid”") and Aurum, Inc., a Delaware Corporation that was a wholly owned subsidiary of Liquid. The Reincorporation was effected by merging Liquid with Aurum, with Aurum being the surviving entity. For purposes of the Company’'s reporting status with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Aurum is deemed a successor to Liquid.

Corporate Developments

In December 2010, the Company executed a Management and Shareholders Agreement with Argonaut Overseas Investments Ltd (“"AOI”"), an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Argonaut Resources N.L., in respect to Argonaut’'s 70% held, 55,105 acre Century Concession in Laos.

The agreement appointed Aurum as the manager of the Century Thrust Joint Venture Agreement, which existed between Argonaut and two other parties, and gave the Company the right to earn 72.86% of AOI’'s interest in the Joint Venture which was equivalent to a 51% beneficial interest in the Century Concession. In order to acquire this interest, Aurum was required to spend US$6.5 million on exploration within five years.

The Century Concession has expired and the Company ~~has~~had been negotiating with the Lao Government to renew the Concession. The Company has recently been advised that the Government does not intend to renew the Concession. As a result, the Company no longer has any exploration interests in Laos.

On April 1, 2016 the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with an Israeli company, PayItSimple Ltd and its subsidiaries (PayItSimple) whereby the Company would invest $15 million directly into PayItSimple by September 5, 2016 to acquire a 30% interest in PayItSimple, and a further $7.5 million into PayItSimple over 18 months to acquire a further 10% interest in PayItSimple, taking its holding to 40% of interest in PayItSimple. PayItSimple owns a business known as Splitit. On April 6, 2016 the Company terminated the proposed acquisition of PayItSimple.

On June 27, 2016 the Company announced that it had entered into a binding term sheet with the shareholders of an Israeli company, Humavox Ltd (Humavox), a company that creates wireless charging solutions. In accordance with the proposed acquisition of Humavox, Aurum would acquire 100% of the shares of Humavox and 100% of the warrants and options to acquire shares of Humavox in exchange for the issue of shares of common stock of Aurum representing 50% of the shares of common stock of Aurum post issue on a fully-diluted basis, including the investment of an amount of US$16 million in Humavox. The investment would take place in unconditional instalments over a period of 24 months following the closing. The closing of the merger was subject to certain closing conditions, including the investment in Humavox of the first instalment of the investment in the amount of $5.5 million. On July 29, 2016 the Company terminated the proposed acquisition of Humavox.

On ~~July~~June 1927, ~~2017,~~2016 the Company announced that it had entered into a ~~Term~~binding ~~Sheet~~term sheet with ~~Lior~~the ~~Wayn,~~shareholders ~~Erez~~of ~~Glazer~~Israeli ~~and~~company, DrHumavox ~~Guy~~Ltd ~~Shalom~~(Humavox), ~~(collectively~~a company that creates wireless charging solutions. In accordance with the proposed acquisition of Humavox, Aurum would acquire 100% of the ~~‘’Sellers”)~~ shares of Humavox and 100% of the warrants and options to acquire shares of Humavox in exchange for the ~~acquisition~~issue of ~~all~~shares of ~~the~~common ~~issued~~stock of Aurum representing 50% of the shares of common stock of Aurum post issue on a ~~medical~~fully-diluted ~~technology~~basis, ~~business.~~including the investment of an amount of US$16 million in Humavox. The ~~Company~~investment ~~has~~would atake ~~120~~place ~~day~~in unconditional instalments over a period of 24 months following the closing. The closing of the merger was subject to ~~conduct~~certain ~~due~~closing ~~diligence~~conditions, ~~and~~including ~~negotiate~~the ainvestment ~~formal~~in ~~share~~Humavox ~~sale~~of ~~agreement~~the first instalment of the investment in the amount of $5.5 million. On July 29, 2016 the Company terminated the proposed acquisition of Humavox.

On July 19, 2017, the Company entered into a Term Sheet with Lior Wayn, Erez Glazer and Dr Guy Shalom, (collectively, the ''Sellers") for the acquisition of all of the issued shares of a medical technology business. The Company has a 120 day period to conduct due diligence and negotiate a formal share sale agreement.

The purchase price is up to USD$7,500,000 which is to be satisfied as follows:

a)	The sum of USD$100,000 payable to the Sellers for due diligence expenses, 30 business days from the execution of the Term Sheet;

b)	A further USD$100,000 each month after the date in a) above for due diligence expenses, for 3 months, payable to the Sellers for working capital purposes;

c)	An issue of fully paid ordinary shares of common stock of the Company to the value of USD$2,500,000 (less any payments made to the Sellers under (a) and (b) above) to the Sellers at an issue price of USD$0.22 per share of common stock (Consideration Shares);

d)	The issue to the Sellers of shares of common stock to the equivalent to USD$2,500,000 at the issue price of USD$0.22, subject to the Sellers achieving sales revenue of USD$100,000 within twelve months after the first anniversary of Completion; and

e)	The issue to the Sellers of shares of common stock to the equivalent to USD$2,500,000 at the issue price of USD$0.22, subject to the Sellers achieving sales revenue of USD$1,000,000 within twelve months after the first anniversary of Completion.

If the Transaction is terminated or is in the reasonable opinion of the Company unable to proceed at any point, the Vendors and the Sellers have agreed to convert any monies paid to the Sellers under (a) and (b) above into convertible securities in the Sellers.

As part of the agreement and as a condition to completion, the Company will raise USD$2,500,000.

Pending completion, the Sellers are required to carry on business in the ordinary course.

~~Employees~~In July 2017, the Company raised $38,329 through the private placement of 250,000 shares of common stock.

Employees

We use temporary employees for some of our activities. The services of our President, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Director, Joseph Gutnick, Executive General Manager, Craig Michael, our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, Peter Lee, as well as clerical employees are provided to us on a part-time as needed basis pursuant to a Service Agreement (the "Service Agreement") between us and AXIS Consultants Pty Limited ("AXIS") effective from August 2009. AXIS also provides us with office facilities, equipment, administration and clerical services in Melbourne, Australia pursuant to the Service Agreement. The Service Agreement may be terminated by written notice by either party.

Other than this, we rely primarily upon consultants to accomplish our activities. We are not subject to a union labor contract or collective bargaining agreement.

SEC Reports

We file annual, quarterly, current and other reports and information with the SEC. These filings can be viewed and downloaded from the Internet at the SEC’'s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, these SEC filings are available at no cost as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof on our website at auruminc.net. These reports are also available to be read and copied at the SEC’'s public reference room located at Judiciary Plaza, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operations of the public reference room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.

Item 1A Risk Factors

You should carefully consider each of the following risk factors and all of the other information provided in this Annual Report before purchasing our common stock. An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk, and should be considered only by persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. There may be additional risks and uncertainties that are not known to us or that we do not consider to be material at this time. If the events described in these risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations would likely suffer. Additionally, this Annual Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. This section discusses the risk factors that might cause those differences.

Risk Factors

Risks of Our Business

We Lack an Operating History And Have Losses Which We Expect To Continue Into the Future.

To date we have no source of revenue. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:

-	our ability to identify suitable opportunities

-	our ability to raise the capital necessary to conduct our activities; and

-	our ability to generate revenues and profitably operate our business.

Our Proposed Areas Of Operations May Be Located In Locations That Are Subject To Changes In Political Conditions And Regulations In Those Regions.

Our proposed areas of operations may be located in locations that are subject to changes in political conditions and regulations. In the past some countries have been subject to political and social instability, changes and uncertainties which may cause changes to existing government regulations affecting resource exploration and mining activities. Civil or political unrest could disrupt our operations at any time.

We May Engage in Acquisitions, Strategic Investments, Strategic Partnerships or Alliances or Other Ventures that may or may not be Successful.

We may acquire or make strategic investments in businesses, technologies, services or products, or enter into strategic partnerships or alliances with third parties in order to enhance our business. It is possible that we may not be able to identify suitable acquisitions targets and candidates for strategic investments or partnerships, or if we do identify such targets or candidates, we may not be able to complete those transactions on terms commercially acceptable to us, or at all. The inability to identify suitable acquisition targets or investments or the inability to complete such transactions may affect our competitiveness and our growth prospects.

We may make strategic investments in early-stage start-up companies in order to gain experience in or exploit niche technologies. However, our investments may not be successful. The lack of profitability of any of our investments could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

The Report Of Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Contains An Emphasis of Matter Paragraph Questioning Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern.

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements as of October 31, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015, and for the years ended October 31, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015, includes an emphasis of matter paragraph questioning our ability to continue as a going concern. This paragraph indicates that we have not yet commenced revenue producing operations and have ana ~~accumulated~~retained (deficit) of ~~approximately~~ $9~~,100,000~~.2 million which ~~raises~~could raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We Are A Small Operation And Do Not Have Significant Capital.

Because we will have limited working capital, we must limit our activities. If we are unable to raise the capital required to undertake adequate activities, we may miss opportunities to acquire suitable businesses. If we do not find suitable businesses we may be forced to cease operations and you may lose your entire investment.

World Economic Conditions Could Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The effects of the recent global financial crisis are difficult to accurately predict. As a result of this crisis, conditions in the credit markets have become uncertain and risk adverse. These adverse conditions may make it harder for the Company to raise additional funds to finance the continued development of its business. Continued adverse economic conditions could adversely affect our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.

Approximately 75% Of Our Common Stock Is Controlled By The Family Of Our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

The family of Mr. Joseph Gutnick, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owned 101.6 million shares of our common stock, which represented approximately 75% of our shares outstanding as of September 18 2017. Mr Joseph Gutnick has no beneficvial interest in the shareholdings of his family. As a result, Mr. Gutnicks’ family has and is expected to continue to have the ability to appoint our Board of Directors and to determine the outcome of all other issues submitted to our stockholders. The interests of Mr. Gutnicks’ family may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders, and subject to his fiduciary duties as a director, he may act in a manner that advances his family’s best interests and not necessarily those of other stockholders. One consequence to this substantial influence or control is that it may not be possible for investors to remove management of the Company. It could also deter unsolicited takeover, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.

Mr Joseph Gutnick has no beneficvial interest in the shareholdings of his family. As a result, Mr. Gutnicks' family has and is expected to continue to have the ability to appoint our Board of Directors and to determine the outcome of all other issues submitted to our stockholders. The interests of Mr. Gutnicks' family may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders, and subject to his fiduciary duties as a director, he may act in a manner that advances his family's best interests and not necessarily those of other stockholders.

It could also deter unsolicited takeover, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.

We are substantially dependent upon AXIS To Carry Out Our Activities

We are substantially dependent upon AXIS for our senior management, financial and accounting, corporate legal and other corporate headquarters functions. For example, each of our officers is employed by AXIS and, as such, is required by AXIS to devote substantial amounts of time to the business and affairs of the other shareholders of AXIS.

Pursuant to a services agreement, AXIS provides us with office facilities, and some administrative personnel and services, management and geological staff and services. No fixed fee is set in the agreement and we are required to reimburse AXIS for any direct costs incurred by AXIS for us. In addition, we pay a proportion of AXIS indirect costs based on a measure of our utilization of the facilities and activities of AXIS plus a service fee of not more than 15% of the direct and indirect costs. AXIS has not charged a service fee for ~~2015~~2016. This service agreement may be terminated by us or AXIS on 60 days’' notice. See “"Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”" AXIS billed Aurum, Inc., as per the services agreement, for ~~2015~~2016 a total of $561,~~226~~817 (~~2013~~2015: $7156,~~597~~226).

We are one of seven companies that AXIS provides services to. Each of the companies has some common Directors, officers and shareholders. In addition, each of the companies is substantially dependent upon AXIS for its senior management and certain mining and exploration staff. A number of arrangements and transactions have been entered into from time to time between such companies. Currently, there are no material arrangements or planned transactions between the Company and any of the other affiliated companies other than AXIS. However, it is possible we may enter into such transactions in the future which could present conflicts of interest. In addition, there may be conflicts among the Company and the other companies that AXIS provides services to with respect to access to executive and administrative personnel and other resources.

Historically, AXIS has allocated corporate opportunities to each of the companies engaged in the exploration and mining industry after considering the location of each of the companies’' operations and the type of commodity for which each company explores within its geographic region. At present, there are no conflicts among the Company and the other companies with respect to the principal geographic areas in which they operate and/or the principal commodities that they are searching for.

The Company has received advances from AXIS in connection with the ongoing business relationship between the two parties, which have been disclosed in the Company’s SEC reports, but which are not specifically provided for in the AXIS Services Agreement. Historically, the shortfall in our cash receipts has been covered by cash advances from AXIS. The purpose of such advances is to assist us in meeting our ongoing cash flow requirements. The parties are in discussions in relation to the Company providing security to AXIS for the amount outstanding however no agreement has been reached to-date. Mr. Peter Lee is Chief Financial Officer & Company Secretary of AXIS and owes fiduciary obligations to both parties. It is the intention of the Boards of Directors of AXIS and the Company that this issue be resolved in a manner that is fair to all parties and equitable to the shareholders of each, but there are no agreements or understandings addressing the priority or dispensation of fiduciary duties with respect to the discussions to resolve the amount outstanding owed to AXIS or any other conflict of interest with AXIS or other affiliates. See Item 13 “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.”

See Item 13 "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence."

Future Sales of Common Stock Could Depress The Price Of Our Common Stock

Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 or otherwise by certain stockholders could have a material adverse impact on the market price for the common stock at the time. As at September 2228, 2017, there were ~~135~~131,~~850~~600,000 outstanding shares of common stock which are deemed “"restricted securities”" as defined by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or control securities. Under certain circumstances, these shares may be sold without registration pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144. In general, under rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a six-month holding period and who is not an affiliate of the Company may sell restricted securities without limitation as long as the Company is current in its SEC reports. A person who is an affiliate of the Company may sell within any three-month period a number of restricted securities and/or control securities which does not exceed the greater of one (1%) percent of the shares outstanding or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the notice of sale required by Rule 144. In addition, Rule 144 permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of restricted securities by a non-affiliate without any limitations after a one-year holding period. Any sales of shares by stockholders pursuant to Rule 144 may have a depressive effect on the price of our Common stock.

Our Common Stock Is Traded Over the Counter, Which May Deprive Stockholders Of The Full Value Of Their Shares

Our common stock is quoted via the Over The Counter Market (OTC). As such, our common stock may have fewer market makers, lower trading volumes and larger spreads between bid and asked prices than securities listed on an exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. These factors may result in higher price volatility and less market liquidity for the common stock.

A Low Market Price May Severely Limit The Potential Market For Our Common Stock

Our common stock is currently trading at a price substantially below $5.00 per share, subjecting trading in the stock to certain SEC rules requiring additional disclosures by broker-dealers. These rules generally apply to any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions (a “"penny stock”"). Such rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and institutional or wealthy investors. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’'s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’'s presumed control over the market. Such information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock.

The Market Price Of Your Shares Will Be Volatile.

The stock market price of mineral exploration companies like us has been volatile. Securities markets may experience price and volume volatility. The market price of our stock may experience wide fluctuations that could be unrelated to our financial and operating results. Such volatility or fluctuations could adversely affect your ability to sell your shares and the value you might receive for those shares.

Item 1B Unresolved Staff Comments

Overview

Aurum, Inc. ("Aurum”" or the “"Company") was incorporated in the State of Florida in September 2008. The principal stockholder of Aurum is Golden Target Pty Ltd., an Australian corporation (“"Golden”"), which owned 7496.9321% of Aurum as of October 31, ~~2015~~2014. On January 20, 2010, the Company re-incorporated in the state of Delaware (the “"Reincorporation”") through a merger involving Liquid Financial Engines Inc. and Aurum, Inc., a Delaware Corporation that was a wholly owned subsidiary of Liquid. The Reincorporation was effected by merging Liquid with Aurum, with Aurum being the surviving entity. For purposes of the Company’'s financial reporting status, Aurum is deemed a successor to Liquid.

In July 2009, Golden acquired an approximate 96% interest in Aurum from certain stockholders. In connection therewith, the Company appointed a new President/Chief Executive Officer/Director and Chief Financial Officer/Secretary.

Commencing August 2009, the Company decided to focus on mineral exploration for gold and copper in the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic. The Century Concession has expired and the Company had been negotiating with the Lao Government to renew the Concession. The Company was advised that the Government does not intend to renew the Concession. As a result, the Company no longer has any exploration interests in Laos.

The Company has now commenced a search for new gold projects that the Company may be able to acquire an interest in. The Company's planned operations have not commenced and are considered to be in the exploration stage.

Results of Operations

Year ended October 31, ~~2015~~2016 versus Year ended October 31, ~~2014~~2015

We are an exploration stage company and have not generated any revenues since inception. As set out in Management’'s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Overview, the Company is managed by AXIS. Certain costs and expenses are incurred by the Company and certain costs and expenses are incurred by AXIS on behalf of the Company and billed to the Company by AXIS. The total amount of expenses billed to the Company by AXIS in fiscal ~~2015~~2016 was $561,~~226~~817 (~~2014~~2015: $7156,~~597~~226). The discussion in the next paragraphs relates to costs and expenses of the Company, incurred by both the Company; and by AXIS that are billed to the Company.

Total costs and expenses have decreased from $~~356~~120,~~462~~052 for the year ended October 31, ~~2014~~2015, to $~~120~~51,~~052~~027 for the year ended October 31, ~~2015~~2016. The decrease in the total costs and expenses was a result of:

i) ana ~~increase~~decrease in legal, accounting and professional costs from $6070,~~319~~266 in fiscal ~~2014~~2015 to $7044,~~266~~025 in fiscal ~~2015~~2016. Included within legal, accounting and professional costs for the year ended October, 31 ~~2015~~2016 is $~~9,371~~(650) for stock transfer agent fees for management of the share register (~~2014~~2015: $89,~~073~~371); $5944,~~743~~675 (~~2014~~2015: $5159,~~552~~743) for audit and tax fees and professional services in relation to consolidated financial statements in the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K; and legal fees of $~~1,152~~nil (~~2014~~2015: $~~694~~1,152) ~~for legal expenses~~.

ii) a decrease in administrative costs from $~~110~~49,~~847~~636 in fiscal ~~2014~~2015 to $496,~~636~~756 in fiscal ~~2015~~2016. Included within administrative costs for the year ended October, 31 ~~2014~~2016 is $401,~~362~~311 (~~2014~~2015: $6740,~~541~~362) for charges by AXIS for salaries incurred on behalf of the Company which relate to amounts paid to the President and Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer and other staff of AXIS who provide services to the Company; $(74,~~650)~~767 for lodgement of company filings with the SEC (~~2014~~2015: ($267,~~167~~650); ~~insurance~~$202 for contractor and consultant costs (2015: $621); and storage costs of $11476 (2015: $1,~~733~~901); insurance costs of $nil (~~2014~~2015: $811,~~744~~733); bank charges for $72nil (~~2014~~2015: $~~312~~72); franchise tax of $~~837~~nil (~~2014~~2015: $~~697~~837); and $~~621~~nil for contractor and consultant costs (~~2014~~2015: $~~2,072~~621)~~; and storage costs of $1,901 (2014: $5,314)~~.. The decrease is primarily as a result of a decrease in the cost of services provided by AXIS in accordance with the service agreement. The total administrative expenses include AXIS billings of $551,~~944~~817 for ~~2015~~2016 (~~2014~~2015: $7155,~~217~~944).

Net income was $1,172,970 for the year ended October 31, 2015 compared to net income of $186,277 for the year ended October 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the year ended October 31, ~~2015~~2016, net cash ~~used~~from in operating activities was $9523,~~929~~356 consisting primarily of the net ~~income~~loss of $1106,~~172~~054,~~970,~~ adjusted for non-cash items being foreign currency ~~gain~~loss of $155,~~226,376~~027 and aan ~~decrease~~increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $4374,~~486~~383.

During ~~2015~~2016, AXIS charged the Company $551,~~944~~817 for management and administration services ~~and $282 for exploration services~~. The net amount owed by the Company to AXIS at October 31, ~~2015~~2016 of $~~834~~828,~~327~~064 is included under non-current liabilities.

The Company has ~~$197~~funded inoperations since inception through advances from affiliated entities. The Company's ability to continue operations for the foreseeable future is dependent upon future funding from affiliated entities, capital raisings, or its ability to commence revenue producing operations and positive cash atflows, of which there can be no assurance. AXIS has advised it does not currently intend to require repayment of these advances prior to October 31, ~~2015~~2017, accordingly the Company has decided to classify the amounts payable as non-current in the accompanying balance sheets.

AXIS has advised it does not currently intend to require repayment of these advances prior to October 31, 2016, accordingly the Company has decided to classify the amounts payable as non-current in the accompanying balance sheets.

The Company continues to search for additional sources of capital, including capital raisings from share issuances, however no agreements or arrangements have been made as of this date and there can be no assurance funding will be successfully obtained. Even if it is obtained, there is no assurance that it will not be secured on terms that are highly dilutive to existing shareholders.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of Aurum as a going concern. However, Aurum has limited assets, negative working capital, has not yet commenced revenue producing operations and has sustained recurring losses since inception.

Impact of Australian Tax Law

In July, 2009 the management and control of Aurum was effectively transferred to Australia making the company an Australian resident corporation for tax purposes under Australian law. Australian resident corporations are subject to Australian income tax on their non-exempt worldwide assessable income (which includes capital gains), less allowable deductions, at the rate of 30%. Foreign tax credits are allowed where tax has been paid on foreign source income provided the tax credit does not exceed 30% of the foreign source income.

Under the U.S. Australia tax treaty, a U.S. corporation such as us is subject to Australian income tax on net profits attributable to the carrying on of a business in Australia through a “"permanent establishment”" in Australia. A “"permanent establishment”" is a fixed place of business through which the business of an enterprise is carried on. The treaty limits the Australian tax on interest and royalties paid by an Australian business to a U.S. resident to 10% of the gross interest or royalty income unless it relates to a permanent establishment. Although we consider that we do not have a permanent establishment in Australia, the Company may be deemed to have such an establishment due to the location of its administrative offices in Melbourne. In addition we may receive interest or dividends from time to time.

Impact of Australian Governmental, Economic, Monetary or Fiscal Policies

Although Australian taxpayers are subject to substantial regulation, we believe that our operations are not materially impacted by such regulations nor is it subject to any broader regulations or governmental policies than most Australian taxpayers.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of the impact of recent accounting pronouncements on the Company’'s consolidated financial statements, see Note 4 to the Company’'s ~~consolidated~~Financial ~~financial~~Statements ~~statements~~ which are included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Item 9A Controls and Procedures

(a)	Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, such principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’'s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report at the reasonable level of assurance.

~~(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting~~14

~~Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange act Rules 13a-15~~(fb) ~~under~~Management's ~~the~~Report Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the supervision of management and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on ~~the 1992 framework in~~ Internal Control~~-Integrated~~ ~~Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation of internal control~~ over ~~financial~~Financial ~~reporting, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting was effective as of October 31, 2015.~~Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange act Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the supervision of management and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the 1992 framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting was effective as of October 31, 2016.

(c)	Attestation report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’'s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’'s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’'s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for smaller reporting companies under Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

(d)	Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’'s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during the Company’'s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’'s internal control over financial reporting.

(e)

Other

We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Therefore, 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. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide such reasonable assurances of achieving our desired control objectives, and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, as of October 31, ~~2015~~2016, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in achieving that level of reasonable assurance.

The Company’'s Directors have been appointed for a one-year term which will continue until their successors have been elected and qualified.

The Director and Senior Executives devote sufficient amounts of their business time to the affairs of the Company to advance its activities.

Directors need not be stockholders of the Company or residents of the State of Delaware. Directors are elected for an annual term and generally hold office until the next Directors have been duly elected and qualified. Directors may receive compensation for their services as determined by the Board of Directors. A vacancy on the Board may be filled by the remaining Directors even though less than a quorum remains. A Director appointed to fill a vacancy remains a Director until his successor is elected by the Stockholders at the next annual meeting of Shareholder or until a special meeting is called to elect Directors.

Mr. Simon Lee, who was CFO of the Company resigned as of January 22, 2015.

Involvement on Certain Material Legal Proceedings During the Last Ten Years

No director, officer, significant employee or consultant has been convicted in a criminal proceeding, exclusive of traffic violations. No director, officer, significant employee or consultant has been permanently or temporarily enjoined, barred, suspended or otherwise limited from involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities. No director, officer or significant employee has been convicted of violating a federal or state securities or commodities law.

On August 27, 2013 the Supreme Court of Australia found in favour of a shareholder of an entity of which Joseph Gutnick is a director in respect of the purchase of shares in that entity from Mr. Gutnick by that shareholder. The Court found and made orders that (i) notwithstanding that the purchase by the plaintiff was for a total of A$1,000,000, the investor was not a sophisticated investor within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2011 (Cth) by reason of the fact that the investment funds were paid by a number of instalments. The Court held that only a purchase where a minimum of A$500,000 was paid as a first payment qualified the purchaser as a sophisticated investor and thereby exempted the seller from providing a disclosure statement. In consequence, the Court ordered the shares purchase agreement be rescinded and declared void and that Mr. Gutnick repay the plaintiff the $1,000,000 purchase price.

On November 24, 2015, Legend International Holdings Inc. announced that it had entered into a Convertible Bond and Subscription Agreement (“"Bond Agreement”") and Security Bond Deed, both dated November 24, 2015 with Queensland Phosphate Pty Ltd (“"QPL”"). Pursuant to those documents, the Company was advised on March 16, 2016 that QPL had appointed receivers and managers to Paradise Phosphate Limited (“"PPL”") and the Company’'s shareholding in PPL on March 11, 2016.

On October 21, 2015, Legend International Holdings Inc. announced that Indian Farmers Fertilizer Co-Operative and its Dubai domiciled subsidiary Kisan International Trading had filed a claim in the Victorian Supreme Court (Australia) to enforce an order of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre against the Company and Mr Joseph Gutnick. Under the order, the Company and Mr Gutnick are to pay IFFCO and Kisan a total of US$12.35 million and US$28.05 million, plus interest and costs, respectively. Following on from that decision, Indian Farmers Fertilizer Co-Operative and its Dubai domiciled subsidiary Kisan International Trading have served a letter of demand on the Company for AUD$25,027,208. Legend and Mr Gutnick challenged the enforcement of the order in the Supreme Court of Victoria Australia but were unsuccessful and the Court ordered that Legend be placed in liquidation.

1817

Mr Gutnick was a Director and Mr Lee was Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of Legend and PPL.

Following the decision of the Supreme Court in Victoria, Mr Gutnick declared personal bankruptcy.

Board, Audit Committee and Remuneration Committee Meetings

Our Board of Directors currently consists of one director. During fiscal ~~2015~~2016, our Board of Directors met once.

We do not have a nominating committee. Historically our entire Board has selected nominees for election as directors. The Board believes this process has worked well thus far particularly since it has been the Board's practice to require unanimity of Board members with respect to the selection of director nominees. In determining whether to elect a director or to nominate any person for election by our stockholders, the Board assesses the appropriate size of the Board of Directors, consistent with our bylaws, and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. If vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Board will consider various potential candidates to fill each vacancy. Candidates may come to the attention of the Board through a variety of sources, including from current members of the Board, stockholders, or other persons. The Board of Directors has not yet had the occasion to, but will, consider properly submitted proposed nominations by stockholders who are not directors, officers, or employees of Aurum, Inc. on the same basis as candidates proposed by any other person. We do not have a policy with respect to the use of diversity as a criteria for Board membership and do not consider diversity in the selection of our Directors.

Audit Committee

At October 31, ~~2015~~2016, the Company had not formed an audit committee or adopted an audit committee charter. In lieu of an audit committee, the Company's Board of Directors assumes the responsibilities that would normally be those of an audit committee. Given the limited scope of the Company’'s operations to date, the Board of Directors does not at present have a director that would qualify as an audit committee financial expert under the applicable federal securities law regulations.

Remuneration Committee

At October 31, ~~2015~~2016, the Company had not formed a remuneration committee or adopted a remuneration committee charter. In lieu of a remuneration committee, the Company's board of directors assumes the responsibilities that would normally be those of a remuneration committee.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics and it applies to all Directors, Officers and employees. A copy of the Code of Conduct and Ethics is on our website at auruminc.net. We will provide a copy of the Code of Conduct and Ethics any person without charge. If you require a copy, contact us by facsimile or email and we will send you a copy.

2010 Stock Option Plan

The 2010 Plan provides for the granting of options. The maximum number of shares available for awards is 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock on issue at any time (on a fully diluted basis). If an option expires or is cancelled without having been fully exercised or vested, the remaining shares will generally be available for grants of other awards.

The 2010 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors.

Any employee, director, officer, consultant of or to the Company or an affiliated entity (including a company that becomes an affiliated entity after the adoption of the 2010 Plan) is eligible to participate in the 2010 Plan if the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that such person has contributed significantly or can be expected to contribute significantly to the success of the Company or an affiliated entity. During any one year period, no participant is eligible to be granted options to purchase more than 5% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock or if they provide investor relations activities, or are a consultant to the Company, 2% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in any 12 month period.

Options granted under the 2010 Plan are to purchase Aurum common stock. The term of each option will be fixed by the Board, but no option will be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant. The option exercise price is fixed by the Board at the time the option is granted. The exercise price must be paid in cash. Options granted to participants vest and have a term of 10 years, unless otherwise decided by the Board at the time of issue.

No award is transferable, or assignable by the participant except upon his or her death.

The Board may amend the 2010 Plan, except that no amendment may adversely affect the rights of a participant without the participant’s consent or be made without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to qualify for or comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation the Board deems necessary or desirable to qualify for or comply with.

Subject to earlier termination by the Board, the 2010 Plan has an indefinite term except that no Incentive Stock Options (“ISO”) may be granted following the tenth anniversary of the date the 2010 Plan is approved by stockholders.

There are no current plans or arrangements to grant any options under the 2010 Plan other than those already issued.

Compensation Pursuant to Plans

The Company does not have any pension or profit sharing plans.

Compensation of Directors

The Company’s directors did not receive any compensation during fiscal 2015 other than as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table.

It is our policy to reimburse Directors for reasonable travel and lodging expenses incurred in attending Board of Directors meetings.

Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans

The following table sets forth, as of October 31, 2015, information regarding options under our 2010 stock option plan, our only active plan. The 2010 Plan has not been approved by our stockholders. Outstanding options under this plan that are forfeited or cancelled will be available for future grants. All of the options are for the purchase of our common stock.

(1) The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the 2010 stock option plan is equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding shares (on a fully diluted basis) of common stock, at any time.

As a result of the termination of the employees holding the options, the employees had a period of 90 days from the date of termination to exercise the options. The holders did not exercise the options therefore the options expired in April 2014 and May 2015.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence

In August 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with AXIS Consultants Pty Ltd (“"AXIS”") to provide geological, management and administration services to the Company. AXIS has some common management and is incorporated in Australia. Mr. Peter Lee is Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary of AXIS and owes fiduciary duties to both parties. AXIS’' principal business is to provide geological, management and administration services to companies. We are one of ~~six~~seven companies that AXIS provides services to, namely Merlin Diamonds Limited, Top End Minerals Limited, Northern Capital Resources Corp, Golden River Resources Corporation, Great Central Resources Corp, Aurum Inc., and Consolidated Gems Inc.

Each of the companies has some common Directors, officers and shareholders. In addition, each of the companies is substantially dependent upon AXIS for its senior management and certain mining and exploration staff. A number of arrangements and transactions have been entered into from time to time between such companies. It has been the intention of the companies and respective Boards of Directors that each of such arrangements or transactions should accommodate the respective interest of the relevant companies in a manner which is fair to all parties and equitable to the shareholders of each. Currently, there are no material arrangements or planned transactions between the Company and any of the other companies other than AXIS.

AXIS is paid by each company for the costs incurred by it in carrying out the administration function for each such company. Pursuant to the Service Agreement, AXIS performs such functions as payroll, maintaining employee records required by law and by usual accounting procedures, providing insurance, human resources, company secretarial, land management, certain exploration and mining support including provision of exploration managers and geologists, financial, accounting advice and services. AXIS also provides for the Company various services, including but not limited to the making available of office supplies, office facilities and any other services as may be required from time to time by the Company as and when requested by the Company.

We are required to reimburse AXIS for any direct costs incurred by AXIS for the Company. In addition, we are required to pay a proportion of AXIS’s overhead cost based on AXIS’s management estimate of our utilisation of the facilities and activities of AXIS plus a service fee of not more than 15% of the direct and overhead costs. Amounts invoiced by AXIS are required to be paid by us. We are also not permitted to obtain from sources other than AXIS, and we are not permitted to perform or provide ourselves, the services contemplated by the Service Agreement, unless we first request AXIS to provide the service and AXIS fails to provide the service within one month.20

We are required to reimburse AXIS for any direct costs incurred by AXIS for the Company. In addition, we are required to pay a proportion of AXIS's overhead cost based on AXIS's management estimate of our utilisation of the facilities and activities of AXIS plus a service fee of not more than 15% of the direct and overhead costs. Amounts invoiced by AXIS are required to be paid by us. We are also not permitted to obtain from sources other than AXIS, and we are not permitted to perform or provide ourselves, the services contemplated by the Service Agreement, unless we first request AXIS to provide the service and AXIS fails to provide the service within one month.

The Service Agreement may be terminated by AXIS or ourselves upon 60 days prior notice. If the Service Agreement is terminated by AXIS, we would be required to independently provide, or to seek an alternative source of providing, the services currently provided by AXIS. There can be no assurance that we could independently provide or find a third party to provide these services on a cost-effective basis or that any transition from receiving services under the Service Agreement will not have a material adverse effect on us. Our inability to provide such services or to find a third party to provide such services may have a material adverse effect on our operations.

The arrangement with AXIS has changed since it was originally entered into as the relationship has evolved as a result of the requirements of certain suppliers to be able to deal directly with us. In these cases, AXIS does not charge us a management or service fee in respect to these arrangements with suppliers who deal with us directly. The types of services that are provided directly to us include audit and tax services, legal services, stock transfer services, drilling services, assay laboratory services, leases of some offices, finance leases and Delaware franchise tax.

In accordance with the Service Agreement, AXIS provides the Company with the services of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and clerical employees, as well as office facilities, equipment, administrative and clerical services. We pay AXIS for the actual costs of such facilities plus a maximum service fee of 15%. AXIS billed Aurum $561,~~226~~817 (~~2014~~2015: $7156,~~597~~226) as per the services agreement for ~~2015~~2016.

During the year ended October 31, ~~2015~~2016, AXIS provided services in accordance with the services agreement and incurred direct costs on behalf of the Company of $561,~~226~~817 (~~2014~~2015: $7156,~~597~~226 ), ~~and~~paid on behalf on the Company $1,882 (2015: $nil), advanced the Company $2310,~~180~~131 (~~2014~~2015: $~~170~~23,~~991~~180) and the Company repaid $75,482 ( 2015:$nil). For the year ended October 31, ~~2015~~2016, the foreign currency translation effect of the amount owed to AXIS was a ~~gain~~loss of approximately $155,~~224,634~~389 (~~2014~~2015: ~~$542,982).~~gain ~~During fiscal 2015, the Company issued 30,000,000 shares of common stock to AXIS as repayment of a debt of~~ $51,~~057~~224,~~776~~634). At October 31, ~~2015~~2016, the Company owed AXIS $~~834~~828,~~327~~064 (~~2014~~2015: $7834,~~025,426~~327). The Company has received advances from AXIS in connection with the ongoing business relationship between the two parties, which have been disclosed in the Company’'s SEC reports, but which are not specifically provided for in the AXIS Services Agreement. Historically, the shortfall in our cash receipts has been covered by cash advances from AXIS. The purpose of such advances is to assist us in meeting our ongoing cash flow requirements. The parties are in discussions in relation to the Company providing security to AXIS for the amount outstanding however no agreement has been reached to-date. Mr. Peter Lee is Chief Financial Officer & Company Secretary of AXIS and owes fiduciary obligations to both parties. It is the intention of the Boards of Directors of AXIS and the Company that this issue be resolved in a manner that is fair to all parties and equitable to the shareholders of each, but there are no agreements or understandings addressing the priority or dispensation of fiduciary duties with respect to the discussions to resolve the amount outstanding owed to AXIS or any other conflict of interest with AXIS or other affiliates. At October 31, ~~2015~~2016, the Company owed the former Managing Director of its Laos operation $232,500 (~~2014~~2015: $232,500). The Company intends to repay these amounts with funds raised either via additional debt or equity offerings. AXIS and the former Managing Director have advised they do not currently intend to require repayment of these advances prior to October 31, ~~2016~~2017, accordingly, the Company has decided to classify the amounts payable as non-current in the accompanying balance sheets.

2321

Transactions with Management

We have a written policy that we will not enter into any transaction with an Officer, Director or affiliate of us or any member of their families unless the transaction is approved by a majority of our disinterested non-employee Directors and the disinterested majority determines that the terms of the transaction are no less favourable to us than the terms available from non-affiliated third parties or are otherwise deemed to be fair to us at the time authorised.

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

The following table shows the audit fees that were billed or are expected to be billed by PKF for fiscal ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015.

Audit fees were for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, review of consolidated financial statements included in our 10-Q quarterly reports, and services that are normally provided by independent auditors in connection with our other filings with the SEC. This category also includes advice on accounting matters that arose during, or as a result of, the audit or review of our interim consolidated financial statements.

As part of its duties, our Board pre-approves audit and non-audit services performed by our independent auditors in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditors’' independence. Our Board does not delegate to management its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by our independent auditors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Aurum, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aurum, Inc. as of October 31, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended October 31, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’'s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’'s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’'s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aurum, Inc. at October 31, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in note 1, at October 31, ~~2015~~2016, the Company has ~~limited assets,~~ negative working capital, has not yet commenced revenue producing operations and has a retained (deficit) of approximately $9~~,100,000~~.2 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’'s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management’'s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in note 3.

AURUM, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

October 31, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015

(1) ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

On January 20, 2010, the Company re-incorporated in the state of Delaware (the “"Reincorporation”") through a merger involving Liquid Financial Engines Inc. and Aurum, Inc., a Delaware Corporation that was a wholly owned subsidiary of Liquid. The Reincorporation was effected by merging Liquid with Aurum, with Aurum being the surviving entity. For purposes of the Company’'s financial reporting status, Aurum is deemed a successor to Liquid.

In July 2009, Golden acquired a 96% interest in Aurum from certain stockholders. In connection therewith, the Company appointed a new President/Chief Executive Officer/Director and Chief Financial Officer/Secretary. The sole director and stockholder of Golden is also the President of the Company.

Commencing August 2009, the Company decided to focus on mineral exploration for gold and copper in the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic.

In December 2010, the Company executed a Management and Shareholders Agreement with Argonaut Overseas Investments Ltd (“"AOI”"), an indirectly wholly owned Subsidiary of Argonaut Resources N.L., in respect to Argonaut’'s 70% held Century Concession in Laos. The agreement appointed Aurum as the manager of the Century Thrust Joint Venture Agreement (“Joint Venture”) and the Company had the right to earn 72.86% of AOI’s interest in the Joint Venture which was equivalent to a 51% beneficial interest in the Century Concession.

The agreement appointed Aurum as the manager of the Century ~~Concession~~Thrust ~~expired~~Joint inVenture ~~fiscal~~Agreement ~~2014.~~("Joint AsVenture") aand ~~result,~~gave the Company nothe ~~longer~~right ~~has~~to ~~any~~earn ~~exploration~~72.86% ~~interests~~of AOI's interest in ~~Laos~~the Joint Venture which is equivalent to a 51% beneficial interest in the Century Concession.

However~~result, ~~Aurum~~the ~~has~~Company ~~limited~~no ~~assets,~~longer ~~negative working capital,~~ has ~~not~~any ~~yet~~exploration ~~commenced~~interests ~~revenue~~in ~~producing operations and has a retained (deficit)~~Laos.

On June 27, 2016 the Company announced that it had entered into a binding term sheet with the shareholders of Israeli company, Humavox Ltd (Humavox), a company that creates wireless charging solutions. In accordance with the proposed acquisition of Humavox, Aurum would acquire 100% of the shares of Humavox and 100% of the warrants and options to acquire shares of Humavox in exchange for the issue of shares of common stock of Aurum representing 50% of the shares of common stock of Aurum post issue on a fully-diluted basis, including the investment of an amount of US$16 million in Humavox. The investment would take place in unconditional instalments over a period of 24 months following the closing. The closing of the merger was subject to certain closing conditions, including the investment in Humavox of the first instalment of the investment in the amount of $5.5 million. On July 29, 2016 the Company terminated the proposed acquisition of Humavox.

F - 8

The purchase price is up to USD$7,500,000 which is to be satisfied as follows:

a)	The sum of USD$100,000 payable to the Sellers for due diligence expenses, 30 business days from the execution of the Term Sheet;

b)	A further USD$100,000 each month after the date in a) above for due diligence expenses, for 3 months, payable to the Sellers for working capital purposes;

c)	An issue of fully paid ordinary shares of common stock of the Company to the value of USD$2,500,000 (less any payments made to the Sellers under (a) and (b) above) to the Sellers at an issue price of USD$0.22 per share of common stock (Consideration Shares);

d)	The issue to the Sellers of shares of common stock to the equivalent to USD$2,500,000 at the issue price of USD$0.22, subject to the Sellers achieving sales revenue of USD$100,000 within twelve months after the first anniversary of Completion; and

e)	The issue to the Sellers of shares of common stock to the equivalent to USD$2,500,000 at the issue price of USD$0.22, subject to the Sellers achieving sales revenue of USD$1,000,000 within twelve months after the first anniversary of Completion.

As part of the agreement and as a condition to completion, the Company will raise USD$2,500,000.

Pending completion, the Sellers are required to carry on business in the ordinary course.

The Company's ability to continue operations for the foreseeable future is dependent upon future funding from affiliated entities, capital raisings, or its ability to commence revenue producing operations and positive cash flows.

(2) ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company is an exploration stage company and the following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed in connection with the preparation of the consolidated ~~consolidated~~ financial statements.

F - 9

(a)	Basis of presentation and use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure on contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar.

(b)	Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of the Company and the entities it controlled at the end of the financial period and the results of the Company and the entities it controlled during the year. Where entities are not controlled throughout the entire financial year, the consolidated results include the results of those entities for that part of the period during which control exists. The effect of all transactions between entities in the group and the inter-entity balances are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated ~~consolidated~~ financial statements. The Company has only one controlled entity.

(c)	Cash Equivalents

Aurum considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. For the periods presented there were no cash equivalents.

(d)	Foreign Currency

The Company’'s payables to affiliates are denominated in Australian dollars and converted to U.S. dollars at the end of each reporting period. Resulting gains and losses are included in the statement of operations.

(e)	Federal Income Tax

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC Topic 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. For the period presented, there was no taxable income. There are no deferred income taxes resulting from temporary differences in reporting certain income and expense items for income tax and financial accounting purposes. Aurum at this time is not aware of any net operating losses which are expected to be realised.

(f)	Australian Tax Law

The Company isaccounts anfor ~~Australian~~income ~~resident~~taxes ~~corporation~~pursuant ~~under~~to ~~Australian~~ASC ~~law~~Topic ~~and~~740, ~~accordingly~~"Accounting isfor ~~subject~~Income Taxes", which requires an asset and liability approach to ~~Australian~~calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax onliabilities ~~its~~and ~~non-exempt~~assets ~~worldwide~~for ~~assessable~~the ~~income~~expected ~~(which~~future ~~includes~~tax ~~capital~~consequences ~~gains),~~of ~~less~~temporary ~~allowable~~differences ~~deductions,~~between atthe carrying amounts and the ~~rate~~tax basis of ~~30%~~assets and liabilities. ~~Foreign~~For ~~tax~~the ~~credits~~period presented, there was no taxable income. There are ~~allowed~~no ~~where~~deferred ~~tax~~income ~~has~~taxes ~~been~~resulting ~~paid~~from ontemporary ~~foreign~~differences ~~source~~in reporting certain income ~~provided~~and ~~the~~expense items for income tax ~~credit~~and ~~does~~financial ~~not~~accounting ~~exceed~~purposes. ~~30%~~Aurum at this time is not aware of ~~the~~any ~~foreign~~net ~~source~~operating ~~income~~losses which are expected to be realised.

~~Under~~F ~~the~~- U.S. Australia tax treaty, a U.S. resident corporation such as Aurum is subject to Australian income tax on net profits attributable to the carrying on of a business in Australia through a “permanent establishment” in Australia. A “permanent establishment” is a fixed place of business through which the business of an enterprise is carried on. The treaty limits the Australian tax on interest and royalties paid by an Australian business to a U.S. resident to 10% of the gross interest or royalty income unless it relates to a permanent establishment. Although we believe that we do not have a permanent establishment in Australia, the Company may be deemed to have such an establishment due to the location of its administrative offices in Melbourne. In addition we may receive interest or dividends from time to time.

F - 9

(g)	Income/(Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period presented. The diluted earnings per share computation includes the effect, if any, of shares that would be issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible debts, reduced by the number of shares which are assumed to be purchased by the Company from the resulting proceeds at the average market price during the period, when such amounts are dilutive to the earnings per share calculation.

(h)	Fair value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC Topic 825, “"Financial Instruments”", requires the Company to disclose, when reasonably attainable, the fair values of its assets and liabilities which are deemed to be financial instruments.

The Company’'s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and advances from affiliate. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair values because of the short term nature of those instruments. The fair value of the advances from affiliate is not determinable as it is due to an affiliated entity, no market exists for similar instruments and settlement date is uncertain.

(i)	Comparative Figures

Where necessary, comparative figures have been restated to be consistent with current year presentation.

(j)	Mineral Property Acquisition, Exploration Costs and Amortization of Mineral Rights

Mineral property acquisition, exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred until such time as economic reserves are quantified. To date, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties. When it is determined that a mining deposit can be economically and legally extracted or produced based on established proven and probable reserves, further exploration costs and development costs incurred after such determination will be capitalized. The establishment of proven and probable reserves is based on results of final feasibility studies which indicate whether a property is economically feasible. Upon commencement of commercial production, capitalized costs will be transferred to the appropriate asset category and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Capitalized costs, net of salvage values, relating to a deposit which is abandoned or considered uneconomic for the foreseeable future, will be written off.

F - 10

(3) GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not yet commenced revenue producing operations and had a retained (deficit) of $9,~~080~~186,~~528~~582 as of October 31 ~~2015~~2016. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’'s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will require additional funding for operations and this additional funding may be raised through debt or equity offerings. The Company has a debt due to AXIS Consultants Pty Ltd (AXIS). AXIS provides management services to the Company and the cost of these services increases the amount of the debt. In addition, the Company has historically relied on loans and advances from corporations affiliated with the President of Aurum, Inc. Based on discussions with these affiliate companies, the Company believes this source of funding will continue to be available. Other than the arrangements noted above, the Company has not confirmed any other ~~arrangement~~arrangements for ongoing funding. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

F - 11

(4)	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. The Company adopted the update to (Topic 915) Development Stage Entities, for the elimination of certain disclosures currently required under US GAAP in the financial statements for development stage entities. The amendment removes the definition of a development stage entity, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between the development stage entities and reporting entities from US GAAP. The Company has adopted ASU No. 2014-10 and accordingly eliminated the inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity. The financial statements are no longer labelled as an exploration or development stage entity, and no disclosure is required for a description of the development stage activities the entity is engaged or when they are no longer a development stage entity. This update also eliminates an exception provided to development stage entities in FASC Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) based on the amount of equity at risk.

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entities Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). The guidance in ASU 2014-15 sets forth management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern as well as required disclosures. ASU 2014-15 indicates that, when preparing financial statements for interim and annual financial statements, management should evaluate whether conditions or events, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This evaluation should include consideration of conditions and events that are either known or are reasonably knowable at the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, as well as whether it is probable that management's plans to address the substantial doubt will be implemented and, if so, whether it is probable that the plans will alleviate the substantial doubt. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods and annual periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company will evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU however management does not believe the financial statements require additional disclosure.

Other Recently Issued, but not Yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

F - 11

(5)	AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS

In August 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with AXIS Consultants Pty Ltd (“"AXIS”") to provide geological, management and administration services to the Company, (the “"Service Agreement”"). AXIS has some common management and is incorporated in Australia. Mr. Peter Lee is Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary of AXIS and owes fiduciary duties to both parties. AXIS’'s principal business is to provide geological, management and administration services to companies. We are one of ~~seven~~six companies that AXIS provides services to, namely, Merlin Diamonds Limited, ~~Top End Minerals Limited,~~ Northern Capital Resources Corp, Golden River Resources Corporation, Great Central Resources Corp, Aurum Inc., and Consolidated Gems Inc.

AXIS is paid by each company for the costs incurred by it in carrying out the administration function for each such company. Pursuant to the Service Agreement, AXIS performs such functions as payroll, maintaining employee records required by law and by usual accounting procedures, providing insurance, human resources, company secretarial, land management, certain exploration and mining support including provision of exploration managers and geologists, financial, accounting advice and services. AXIS also provides for the Company’'s various services, including but not limited to the making available of office supplies, office facilities and any other services as may be required from time to time by the Company as and when requested by the Company.

We are required to reimburse AXIS for any direct costs incurred by AXIS for the Company. In addition, we are required to pay a proportion of AXIS’'s overhead cost based on AXIS’'s management estimate of our utilisation of the facilities and activities of AXIS plus a service fee of not more than 15% of the direct and overhead costs. Amounts invoiced by AXIS are required to be paid by us. We are also not permitted to obtain services from sources other than AXIS, and we are not permitted to perform or provide ourselves, the services contemplated by the Service Agreement, unless we first request AXIS to provide the service and AXIS fails to provide the service within one month.

In accordance with the Service Agreement, AXIS provides the Company with the services of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and clerical employees, as well as office facilities, equipment, administrative and clerical services. We pay AXIS for the actual costs of such facilities plus a maximum service fee of 15%. AXIS billed Aurum, Inc. as per the services agreement for 2015 of $56,226 (2014: $71,597).

During the year ended October 31, 2015, AXIS provided services in accordance with the services agreement and incurred direct costs on behalf of the Company of $56,226 (2014: $71,597), and advanced the Company $23,180 (2013: $170,091). For the year ended October 31, 2015, the foreign currency translation effect of the amount owed to AXIS was a gain of $1,224,634 (2014: $542,982). During fiscal 2015, the Company issued 30,000,000 shares of common stock to AXIS as repayment of a debt of $5,057,776. At October 31, 2015, the Company owed AXIS $834,327 (2014: $7,025,426). At October 31, 2015, the Company owed the Managing Director of its former Laos operations (“Manager”) $232,500 (2014: $232,500). The Company intends to repay these amounts with funds raised either via additional debt or equity offerings.

Under ASC 740, tax benefits are recognised only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery. The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the deferred tax asset will be realized.

F - 13

At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax assets is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.

The Company has available net operating loss carry forwards as of October 31, ~~2015~~2016, which are subject to limitations, aggregating approximately $2,285,000 which would expire in years 2028 through 2034.
