Item 1.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Introduction to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Aurum, Inc. (“Aurum” or the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (The “Commission”). Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2014.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2015, the results of its operations for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014 and the changes in its cash flows for the nine month periods ended July 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014 have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

AURUM, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
July 31, 2015
(unaudited)

(1)
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
 
Aurum, Inc. ("Aurum” or the “Company") is a Delaware corporation, originally incorporated in Florida as Liquid Financial Engines, Inc. The principal stockholder of Aurum is Golden Target Pty Ltd., an Australian corporation (“Golden”), which owned 74.93% of Aurum as of July 31, 2015.
 
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 financial reporting purposes 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 and Chief Financial Officer/Secretary and a new sole Director. 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 (Lao P.D.R or Laos).
 
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 Century Concession expired in fiscal 2014 and was not renewed. As a result, the Company no longer has any exploration interests in Laos.
 
The Company has now commenced a search for new projects that the Company may be able to acquire an interest in.
 
.
 
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, however there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
 
(2)
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and applicable to the Company. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
 
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 amendment to (Topic 915) Development Stage Entities, for the elimination of certain disclosures currently required under US GAAP in the consolidated 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 eliminated the inception-to-date information in the statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity (deficit). The consolidated 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.

(3)
GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of Aurum as a going concern. Aurum has incurred net losses since inception and may continue to incur substantial and increasing losses for the next several years, all of which raises substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern.
 
In addition, Aurum is reliant on loans and advances from corporations affiliated with the Company. 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 arrangements for ongoing funding. As a result the Company may be required to raise funds by additional debt or equity offerings in order to meet its cash flow requirements during the forthcoming year. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s fund raising efforts will be successful.
 
The retained deficit of the Company at July 31, 2015 amounted to approximately $9,100,000.
 

(4)
AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS
 
The Company entered into an agreement with AXIS Consultants Pty Ltd (“AXIS”) to provide management and administration services to the Company. AXIS is affiliated through common management. The Company is one of nine affiliated companies to which AXIS provides services. Each of the companies has some common Directors, officers and shareholders. Currently, there are no material arrangements or planned transactions between the Company and any of the affiliated companies other than AXIS.
 
During the nine months ended July 31, 2015, AXIS provided services in accordance with the services agreement, incurred direct costs on behalf of the Company and provided funding of $74,397. During the nine months ended July 31, 2015, the foreign exchange effect on the amounts owed to affiliates was a gain of $1,206,789. On July 31, 2015 the Company issued 30,000,000 shares of common stock to AXIS in satisfaction of a debt of $5,057,776. The amounts owed to affiliates as of July 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014 is $847,163 and $7,025,426, respectively, and are reflected in non-current liabilities - advances from affiliates. At July 31, 2015, the Company owed the former Managing Director of its Laos operation $232,500 (2014: $232,500). During the nine months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, the affiliates have agreed not to charge interest.
 
The Company intends to repay these amounts with funds raised either via additional debt or equity offerings. Both affiliates have agreed not to call the advance within the next twelve months and accordingly the Company has classified the amounts payable as non-current in the accompanying balance sheet.
 
(5)
INCOME TAXES
 
Aurum files its income tax returns on an accrual basis.
 
The Company follows the accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. It also provides guidance for de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of July 31, 2015, the Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

(7)
ISSUE OF OPTIONS UNDER EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 
(i)
Effective December 13, 2010, the Company issued 2,500,000 options over shares of Common Stock to employees under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan that has been adopted by the Directors of the Company. The options vested 1/3 on December 13, 2010, 1/3 vested on November 17, 2011 and the balance vested on November 17, 2012. The exercise price of the options is US$1.00 and the latest exercise date for the options is November 17, 2020.
 
The Company has accounted for all options issued based upon their fair value using the Binomial pricing model.
 
At October 31, 2014, there were 2,500,000 options outstanding with an option price per share and weighted average exercise price of US$1.00.  The exercise price is US$1.00 per option. The weighted average per option fair value of options granted during fiscal 2011 was US$0.81.
 
 As a result of the termination of the employee holding the options, the employee had a period of 90 days from the date of termination to exercise the options. The holder did not exercise the options therefore the options expired in May 2015.
 
(ii)
In May 2011, the Company issued 750,000 options over shares of Common Stock to employees under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan that has been adopted by the Directors of the Company. The options vested 1/3 upon grant date, 1/3 vested on February 1, 2012 and the balance vested on February 1, 2013. The exercise price of the options is US$1.00 and the latest exercise date for the options is February 1, 2018.
 
The Company has accounted for all options issued based upon their fair value using the Binomial pricing model.
 
As a result of the termination of the employee holding the options, the employee had a period of 90 days from the date of termination to exercise the options. The holder did not exercise the options therefore the options have expired in April 2014.

(8)
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and advances from affiliates. The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, accounts payables and accrued expenses approximates their fair values because of the short term maturities 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.
 
(9)
NET INCOME ( LOSS) PER SHARE
 
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net profit (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Options to acquire 3,250,000 shares of common stock were not included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding as such effects would be anti-dilutive.
 
(10)
CASH
 
The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions in Australia and in Laos (USD).  Cash deposits maintained in Australian dollars are translated into US dollars at the period end exchange rate with the related adjustment recognized in statements of operations.
 
(11)
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
The Company has evaluated events and transactions after the balance sheet date and through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued, and believes that all relevant disclosures have been included herein and there are no other events which require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements.
 
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.

This report contains numerous forward-looking statements relating to our business. Such forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as believes, intends, expects, hopes, may, should, plan, projected, contemplates, anticipates or similar words.

Overview
 
Aurum, Inc. is an exploration stage company and was incorporated in Florida on September 29, 2008, to develop and market financial software. In July 2009, Golden Target Pty Ltd, an Australian corporation ("Golden") acquired a 96% interest in Aurum from Daniel McKelvey and certain other stockholders. Commencing August 2009, the Company decided to focus on mineral exploration for gold and copper in the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic. The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage. On January 20, 2010, the Company re-incorporated in the State of Delaware through a merger involving Liquid Financial Engines, Inc. (“Liquid”) and Aurum, Inc., with Aurum being the surviving entity. For the purpose of the Company’s financial reporting status, Aurum is deemed a successor to Liquid.
 
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 gives 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 to spend US$6.5 million on exploration within the five year period ending December 10, 2015. The Century Concession expired in fiscal 2014 and was not renewed.
 
We have incurred net losses since our inception and may continue to incur substantial and increasing losses for the next several years We have incurred accumulated losses of approximately $9.1 million which has been funded primarily by the sale of equity securities and advances from affiliates.

The Company continues to search for additional sources of capital, as and when needed; however, 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.

Information Concerning 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 risk factors set forth in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014,
 
The risks and hazards inherent in the mineral exploration business (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, weather or geologically related conditions),
 
The uncertainties inherent in our exploratory activities, including risks relating to permitting and regulatory delays,
 
The political, governmental and regulatory risks affecting mineral exploration activities in foreign countries,
 
The effects of environmental and other governmental regulations, and
 
Uncertainty as to whether financing will be available to enable further exploration and development.
 
Movements in foreign exchange rates,
 
Performance of information systems,
 
Ability of the Company to hire, train and retain qualified employees,
 
Our ability to enter into key exploration 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, including under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere herein and therein 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 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
At July 31, 2015, the Company had no outstanding loan facilities.
 
The Company reports in US$ and holds cash in Australian dollars. At July 31, 2015, this amounted to A$1,076. A change in the exchange rate between the A$ and the US$ will have an effect on the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and create a foreign exchange gain or loss. A movement of 1% in the A$ versus the US$ exchange rate will have a US$10 effect on the balance sheet and statement of operations.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures.
 
a)
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)
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third of fiscal 2015 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
 
c)
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 July 31, 2014, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in achieving that level of reasonable assurance.
