The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the presentation of interim financial information, but do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are included in Annual Report on Form 10-K of Astika Holdings, Inc. which was filed on April 14, 2014, with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are hereby referenced.

The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans focus is on a variety of strategic acquisitions in service, agriculture and industrial companies to compliment and grow Astika Holdings, Inc.’s business.

Astika’s planned focus is also on adding value through successful project development, efficient operations, and opportunistic acquisitions while maintaining a low risk profile through project diversification, astute financial management and operating in secure. to obtain such resources for the Company include (i) obtaining capital from management and significant stockholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses; (ii) obtaining funding from outside sources through the sale of its debt and/or equity securities; and (iii) completing a merger with or acquisition of an existing operating company. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

Overview
Astika Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation, planned focus is on a variety of strategic acquisitions in service, agriculture and industrial companies to compliment and grow Astika Holdings, Inc.’s business. The Company is positioning to capture the next wave of growth companies from Asia. As the centrepieces for Astika Holdings in Asia, the focus is on rapid economic growth and increased foreign investment sector companies which management believes is poised for accelerated economic growth with national modernization. Astika’s planned focus is also on adding value through successful project development, efficient operations, and opportunistic acquisitions while maintaining a low risk profile through project diversification, astute financial management and operating in secure.
Plan of Operation
Astika Holdings’ planed focus is on a variety of strategic acquisitions in the service, agriculture and industrial sectors to compliment and capture the next wave of growth companies from Asia and New Zealand. Astika plans on adding value through successful project development, efficient operations, and opportunistic acquisitions while maintaining a low risk profile through project diversification, astute financial management and operating in secure jurisdictions. Management believes there will be rapid economic growth and an increase in foreign investment sector companies poised for accelerated growth with national modernization are planned centerpieces for Astika Holdings in Asia. The planned initial acquisitions from the Nantong Region, private companies, have all been in business for over a decade and have consistent track records of delivering revenue and earnings growth. Additionally, Astika qualifies as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, which became law in April 2012.
Astika's ongoing strategy through opportunistic high growth sector planned acquisitions include: (1) Nantong Dredging Machinery CO., LTD., in the dredging sector (2) the Company's agriculture 'Green Future' planned initiatives into the Industrial Hemp sector (the launch of Nantong HZ Hemp Co. Ltd is intended to be utilized for Industrial Hemp and related projects. As global demand for hemp is increasing, the Company's existing relationships with China coupled with New Zealand infrastructure for seed production and food processing along with New Zealand's temperate climate and ideal soils offers Astika a position to capture the added value and economic benefits that this opportunity presents.
Astika's planned entrance into the Industrial Hemp sector is in conjunction with Astika's commitment to acquisitions and development of agriculture in Asia and New Zealand with (3) the Nantong Grain Seeder of High Accuracy, the modernization of agriculture for farmers and increased profit potential has our initial focus on the Nantong Grain Seeder of High Accuracy which meets the requirement of agriculture modernization in China. There are large rural areas and management believes that farmers are eager to utilize a multi-functional grain seeder to improve yield in seeding rice, oilseed rape, corn, beans and wheat to supply the growing Asia and world markets. Additionally, the Nantong seeder performs a multi-function agriculture process which reduces the utilization of tractors, lowers the associated costs, increases the yield and uses less fertilization. Nantong's Grain Seeder of High Accuracy also decreases pollution and protects the environment.) and (4) Astika's planned entrance into negotiations with Nantong Poultry Farming Co. Ltd., in the food service sector intend to benefit the future of Astika's shareholders along with the Asian, New Zealand and World Markets.
Under the contemplated transactions for the acquisition of service, agriculture and industrial companies to compliment and grow Astika Holdings, Inc.’s business, the Company intends to deliver common shares to achieve the contemplated transactions. The Company has begun the process of integrating management and moving its headquarters to Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand.
Results of Operations for the Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to the Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2013
Revenues. The Company’s revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 were $0 as compared to $677 for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, and the decrease was due to the change in business of the company.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 were $4,019 as compared to $25,537 for the three month period ended March 31, 2014. General and administrative expenses increased due to expenses relating to being a public reporting company, including professional service fees for preparing our SEC reports, transfer agent fees and blue sky filing fees and fees and expenses relating to the Company’s public offering. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of corporate support expenses, such as legal, accounting, and financial printing relating to our SEC filings.

From January 13, 2011 (inception) through March 31, 2014, we raised a total of $123,500 from the issuance of common stock and the conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock. We have not raised any additional capital since the completion of our public offering in Fall 2012.
Impact of Inflation
We believe that the rate of inflation has had negligible effect on our operations. We believe we can absorb most, if not all, increased non-controlled operating costs by increasing sales prices, whenever deemed necessary and by operating our Company in the most efficient manner possible.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
We experienced no cash flow from operating activities during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 as compared to negative cash flow from operating activities in the amount of $35,921 during the three month period ended March 31, 2013. The cash used in operating activities during the three month period ended March 31, 2013, was due to cash used to fund a net loss of $35,921, adjusted for non-cash expenses related to amortization of intangible assets, depreciation on equipment, and accrued interest, as well as the decrease in accounts payable for legal and accounting services.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
The cash used in investing activities during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 was $0 and $0 during the three month period ended March 31 2013.
Net Cash Provided by and Used In Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 was $0 and $0 during the three month period ended March 31, 2013.
Availability of Additional Funds
Based on our working capital as of March 31, 2014 and zero revenues, we expect to need additional equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations during the next 12 months. We expect that our current cash on hand will not fund our operations through March 2015. See “Description of Business”.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant estimates and assumptions include amortization, the fair value of our stock, and the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets.
We qualify as an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, which became law in April, 2012. Under the JOBS Act, “emerging growth companies”, can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Material Commitments
There were no material commitments during the three month period ended March 31, 2014.
Purchase of Furniture and Equipment
We purchased no equipment in the amount of $0 during the three month period ended March 31, 2014.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2014, we had no off balance sheet arrangements.
Disclosure under this section is not required for a smaller reporting company.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Treasurer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of our fourth fiscal quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our President and Treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and financial officer and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
|
●
|
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
|
|
●
|
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
|
|
●
|
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. The COSO framework is based upon five integrated components of control: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communications and ongoing monitoring.
Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of March 31, 2014 (the “Evaluation Date”), to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Each of the following is deemed a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:
|
●
|
We do not have an audit committee. While we are not currently obligated to have an audit committee, including a member who is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K, under applicable regulations or listing standards; however, it is management’s view that such a committee is an important internal control over financial reporting, the lack of which may result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of internal controls and procedures.
|
|
●
|
We did not maintain proper segregation of duties for the preparation of our financial statements. We currently have only one officer overseeing all transactions. This has resulted in several deficiencies, including the lack of control over preparation of financial statements and proper application of accounting.
|
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in the two items above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Management's Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we plan to initiate the following series of measures once we have the financial resources to do so:
|
●
|
We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. And, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee, which will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.
|
|
●
|
Management believes that the appointment of outside directors to a fully functioning audit committee, would remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered independent 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 temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
