PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
ASTERIKO CORP.
10,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AT $0.01 PER SHARE
This Prospectus relates to the offering by Asteriko Corp. ("Asteriko," "we,"
"our," the "Company" or the "Registrant") of a total of 10,000,000 shares (the
"Shares") of our common stock on a "self-underwritten" basis at a fixed price of
$0.01 per share.
There is no minimum offering of the Asteriko shares.
We are a development stage company with limited earnings focusing on early-stage
business activities. This fact may impose some limitations on our shareholders'
ability to re-sell their shares in our company. Accordingly, investors should
consider our shares to be a high-risk illiquid investment (see "Risk Factors"
section).
We are not a blank check company and have no plans or intentions to engage in a
business combination following this offering.
These securities involve a high degree of risk, and prospective purchasers
should be prepared to sustain the loss of their entire investment. There is
currently no public trading market for the securities.
Management will have sole control over company's accounts. We have not made
arrangements to place the funds in an escrow account with a third party escrow
agent due to the costs involved. As a result, investors are subject to the risk
that creditors could attach these funds during the offering process (see "Use of
Proceeds" and "Plan of Distribution" sections)
This is our initial public offering. Prior to this offering there has been no
public market for our common stock and we have not applied for listing or
quotation on any public market. After the effective date of the registration
statement, we intend to list our common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin
Board (OTCBB), which is maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc. (FINRA).
This Offering of shares will terminate 180 days from the effective date of this
Prospectus, although we may close the Offering on any date prior if the Offering
is fully subscribed.
Our President will market our common stock and offer / sell the securities on
our behalf. This is the best effort direct participation offering that will not
utilize broker-dealer arrangement. No Officer or Director will receive any
compensation for her/his role in selling shares in the offering.
Our Director and his affiliates have not acted as promoters nor do they have a
controlling interest in any companies (either viable or dormant).
The Company is considered an "emerging growth company" as defined in the
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act and will be subject to reduced public
company reporting requirements.
Before purchasing any of the common stock covered by this Prospectus, carefully
read and consider the risk factors included in the section entitled "RISK
FACTORS".
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities
commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the
adequacy or accuracy of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a

SUMMARY

may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read
the entire Prospectus carefully, including the more detailed information
regarding our company, the risks of purchasing our common stock discussed under
"Risk Factors," and our financial statements and their accompanying notes.
In this Prospectus, "Asteriko," "we," "our," the "Company" or the "Registrant"
refer to Asteriko Corp., unless the context otherwise requires. Unless otherwise
indicated, the term "fiscal year" refers to our fiscal year ending June 30.
Unless otherwise indicated, the term "common stock" refers to shares of the
Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share.
THE COMPANY
Asteriko Corp. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 17, 2014. Our
offices are located at 616 Corporate Way, Suite 2-6834, Valley Cottage, NY
10989.
We are a development stage company with limited earnings to date and nominal
operations and assets with a focus on early-stage business activities such as
proof of concept development, small batch manufacturing and promoting our new
technology. Since incorporation, management has developed a detailed business
plan to provide customers with unique and innovative solution for their
decorative needs. Our initial product is lattice panels designed for suspended
ceiling. These panels will dynamically change the color of their surface with
the change of the viewing angle and / or the type of illumination.
Our aim is to develop Asteriko Corp. in phases. The first phase of development
will focus on design solutions. The second phase will be manufacturing.
We have identified our target market and obtained initial funding of $10,000
from Mr. Tomski (our President and Director).
We will require additional funding in order to pursue our business objectives;
there is no guarantee that we will be successful in this regard.
We will need to complete our offering in order to cover an estimated $9,500 in
federal securities law compliance costs which includes $5,000 in accounting and
auditing costs for the 12 month period following the effectiveness of our
registration statement.
Currently, our President devotes approximately fifteen hours a week to the
Company. We will require the funds from this offering in order to fully
implement our business plan (as discussed in the "Plan of Operation" section of
this Prospectus).
Our financial statements from inception (April 17, 2014) through June 30, 2014
report revenue of $3,239, net loss of ($2,594), and total assets of $11,390
including cash balance of $10,000, which was generated from the sale of
5,000,000 shares to our President and Director, and advances from Director's
loan. We anticipate incurring average quarterly operational costs of about
$5,000 until our offering is completed.
Investors should be aware that our independent auditors have issued an audit
opinion which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our
ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. Our auditor's
opinion is based on our initial financial loss, limited operations, and limited
working capital. Our source of cash at this time is investments and loans from
our Director and three sales to the home remodeling companies that generated
revenue of $3,239. We currently do not have any written agreements in place for
any investments or loans from third parties. We must raise cash to implement our
projects and expand our operations.
Investors must be aware that we do not have sufficient capital to independently
finance our own plans. We have no arrangements or contingencies in place in the
event of ceased operations, in which case investors would lose their entire
investment.
THE OFFERING
We are offering, on a self-underwritten basis, a total of 10,000,000 shares of
the common stock of our Company at a price of $0.01 per share. This is a fixed
price Offering. This Offering of shares will terminate 180 days from the
effective date of this Prospectus, although we may close the Offering on any
date prior if the Offering is fully subscribed. The offering price of the common
stock has been arbitrarily determined and bears no relationship to any objective
criterion of value. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book
value, historical earnings or net worth.
There is no minimum offering of the Asteriko shares; investors will not receive
a return of their investment if all shares are not sold.

$3,239, and a net loss of ($2,594). Our independent
registered public accounting firm has issued an

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this
Prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the risks disclosed
below occur, our business operating results and financial condition could be
seriously harmed.
We do not plan to register our common stock under Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") by filing a Form 8-A on a
pre-effective basis. The consequences to investors of us being a Section 15(d)
registrant in comparison to a Section 12(g) registrant are as follows: Under
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, we are not required to file periodic reports
if we have less than 300 holders of record for the fiscal year after the year of
effectiveness. If we do not register our securities under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act, we may not have an ongoing periodic reporting obligation and will
not be subject to the Commission's proxy rules and Section 16 of the Exchange
Act.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
GOING CONCERN
Our independent auditors express substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. This opinion is based on limited operations to date, the
need to secure additional financing to support our operating plan. We have
completed our business plan, identified target market, and commenced our
business activities with 3 sales to-date. We cannot guarantee full success of
our business. Our ability to design and manufacture color panels is dependent
upon obtaining sufficient finances. There is additional operational risk of
product design/manufacturing to ensure customer satisfaction. Our competitive
position in North America within the industry in negligible in light of the
recent start up. We may be unable to attract enough customers to compete
effectively.
AS A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY, AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMPANY IS CONSIDERED A
HIGH RISK INVESTMENT WHEREBY YOU COULD LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT
We will incur significant expenses in order to implement our business plan,
including estimated $9,500 in federal securities law compliance costs for the 12
month period following the effectiveness of our registration statement. As an
investor, you should be aware of the difficulties, delays and expenses normally
encountered by an enterprise in the development stage, many of which are beyond
our control (such as unanticipated developmental expenses, inventory costs,
employment costs, advertising and marketing expenses). We cannot assure you that
our proposed business plan as described in this Prospectus will materialize or
prove successful.
OUR COMPANY MAY NOT SUSTAIN UNLESS WE FIND SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS
INTERESTED IN OUR PRODUCTS
We have developed a new product that customers are not familiar with and it may
take some time and marketing effort to properly introduce it to the potential
customers.
OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE FUNDS TO BE RAISED IN THIS
OFFERING.
We require the proceeds from this Offering in order to expand our operations. It
will enable us (after paying the expenses of this Offering) to design and
manufacture color panels in 2014 and potentially expand operations in 2015. We
estimate that it will cost us $25,000 to design and manufacture color panels and
cover all related licensing fees and the SEC compliance and filing expenses
including legal fees.
It will also allow us to initiate our marketing plans and prepare support
material such as promotional video, web site and web advertising with an
estimated cost of $2,500. We may need additional funds to further our business
activities and to achieve a sustainable sales level where ongoing operations and
expansion can be funded out of profits. There is no assurance that any
additional financing will be available or if available, on terms that will be
acceptable to us.
BUSINESS EVALUATION IS DIFFICULT SINCE WE HAVE NOT YET COMMENCED SIGNIFICANT
BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
We were incorporated on April 17, 2014 and to date have been involved primarily
in organizational activities.
We have generated revenue of $3,239 and have incurred total losses of ($2,594)
from inception to June 30, 2014.
5
You cannot evaluate our business or our future prospects due to our lack of
operating history. To-date, we have been involved in limited business activities
(3 pilot sales). Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties
normally encountered by development stage companies and the high rate of failure
of such enterprises. In addition, there is no guarantee that we will commence
full business operations.
Furthermore, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses
without realizing any significant revenue. We therefore expect to incur
significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are
unable to generate sufficient revenues from selling color panels, we will not be
able to continue operations.
IF OUR PRESIDENT LEAVES THE COMPANY PRIOR TO SECURING REPLACEMENTS, WE WILL BE
LEFT WITHOUT MANAGEMENT AND OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS WOULD CEASE
We depend on the services of our President, Ilia Tomski, and our success depends
on the decisions made by him. The loss of the services of our President could
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. There is no assurance that our President will not leave the company
or compete against us in the future, as we presently have no employment
agreement with him. In such circumstance, we may have to recruit qualified
personnel with competitive compensation packages, equity participation and other
benefits that may affect the working capital available for our operations. Our
failure to attract additional qualified employees or to retain the services of
Mr. Tomski could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and
financial condition. We will fail without appropriate replacements.
ALTHOUGH OUR PRESIDENT IS NOT CURRENTLY RECEIVING COMPENSATION FOR HIS SERVICES,
HE MAY DECIDE TO PAY HIMSELF, WHICH WILL ADVERSELY IMPACT ANY POTENTIAL NET
PROFIT THAT WE MAY GENERATE
We are not currently compensating our President for providing management
services to us. In the future we might pay him compensation if the cash flow
generated from operations significantly exceeds our total expenses. Mr. Tomski,
as our President and Director, has the power to set his own compensation as he
sees fit. If he determines to compensate himself, it could have an adverse
effect on our net profit, if any.
OUR MANAGEMENT HAS LIMITED PRIOR EXPERIENCE IN THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR AND
THEREFORE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF
OUR COMPANY IN THIS FIELD
Our management has limited experience in manufacturing sector. Although Mr.
Tomski has over 12 years of experience in designing new hi-tech devices such as
high vacuum systems for utilization in particle accelerator applications in
general and for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry applications in particular; ion
optical elements such as atmospheric pressure to vacuum sampling interface, ion
guides, ion collision cells that are vital components of commercial mass
spectrometers for bio-medical applications; cryogenic systems for commercial
superconducting gravity gradiometer this also includes design and manufacturing
of superconducting electrical circuits and gradiometer sensor components.
However, Mr. Tomski has limited experience in manufacturing this may result in
serious missteps in development/implementation of our business plan.
SINCE OUR PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR HAS NO FORMAL TRAINING IN FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING
AND MANAGEMENT, IN THE FUTURE, OUR DISCLOSURE AND ACCOUNTING CONTROLS MAY NOT BE
EFFECTIVE TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN
POTENTIAL FINES, PENALTIES AND ASSESSMENTS
Our President and Director has no formal training in financial accounting and
management; however, he has been preparing the financial statements that have
been audited and reviewed by our auditors (included in this Prospectus).
Furthermore, he is responsible for our managerial and organizational structure,
which will include preparation of disclosure and accounting controls pursuant to
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the SOX Act). Inability to create
and implement the disclosure and accounting controls required under the SOX Act
could result in fines, penalties and assessments against the company, and could
ultimately cause you to lose your entire investment.
THE LACK OF PUBLIC COMPANY EXPERIENCE OF OUR PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR COULD
ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO COMPLY WITH THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF U.S.
SECURITIES LAWS
Mr. Ilia Tomski, our President and Director, has had no responsibility for
managing a public company in the United States, which could impair our ability
to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as those imposed by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Such responsibility includes complying with federal
securities laws and making required disclosures on a timely basis. In addition,
Mr. Tomski may not be able to implement programs and policies in an effective
and timely manner or in a manner which adequately responds to such increased
legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements, including establishing
and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting. Any such
deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse
effect on our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act, which is necessary to maintain our public company status. If we were to
fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability to continue as a U.S. public
company would be in jeopardy, in which event you could lose your entire
investment.
6
OUR PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR WILL ALLOCATE ONLY A PORTION OF HIS TIME - ABOUT
FIFTEEN HOURS A WEEK TO OUR BUSINESS, WHICH COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR
SUCCESS
Currently, our President and Director allocates only a portion of his time to
the operation of our business. If our business develops faster than anticipated,
or if his other commitments require him to devote more substantial amounts of
time than is currently planned, there is no guarantee that he will devote the
time necessary to assure our successful operations.
OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS DO NOT RESIDE IN THE UNITED STATES.
Our executive Officers do not reside in the United States. The U.S. stockholders
would face difficulty in:
* effecting service of process within the United States on our Officers;
* enforcing judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil
liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against the
Officers;
* enforcing judgments of U.S. courts based on civil liability provisions
of the U.S. federal securities laws in foreign courts against our
Officers; and
* bringing an original action in foreign courts to enforce liabilities
based on the U.S. federal securities laws against our Officers.
WE ARE AN "EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY" AND INTEND TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF REDUCED
DISCLOSURE AND GOVERNANCE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EMERGING GROWTH COMPANIES;
AS A RESULT OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE LESS ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS
We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business
Startups Act of 2012. We intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from
various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies
that are not emerging growth companies. Such exemptions include, but not limited
to: not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; reduced disclosure obligations regarding
executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; exemptions
from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive
compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not
previously approved. . We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until
we are no longer considered an emerging growth company, which in certain
circumstances could be up to five years. There may be a less active trading
market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
As an emerging growth company, exemptions from the following provisions are
available to us:
1. Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires
auditor attestation of internal controls;
2. Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which
require companies to hold shareholder advisory votes on executive
compensation and golden parachute compensation;
3. Section 14(i) of the Exchange Act (which has not yet been
implemented), which requires companies to disclose the relationship
between executive compensation actually paid and the financial
performance of the company;
4. Section 953(b)(1) of the Dodd-Frank Act (which has not yet been
implemented), which requires companies to disclose the ratio between
the annual total compensation of the CEO and the median of the annual
total compensation of all employees of the companies; and
5. The requirement to provide certain other executive compensation
disclosure under Item 402 of Regulation S-K. Instead, an emerging
growth company must only comply with the more limited provisions of
Item 402 applicable to smaller reporting companies, regardless of the
issuer's size.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
BECAUSE OUR PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR, WHO IS ALSO OUR SOLE PROMOTER, WILL OWN 33%
OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES AFTER THIS OFFERING, HE WILL RETAIN SIGNIFICANT
CONTROL OF THE COMPANY, WHICH IN TURN COULD DECREASE THE PRICE AND MARKETABILITY
OF THE SHARES
7
After all 10,000,000 shares of common stock of this Offering are sold Mr. Tomski
will own 5,000,000 or 33.3% of total outstanding shares and will retain
significant control. As a result, Mr. Tomski will have an ability to influence
the Company as follows:
* elect or defeat the election of our Directors;
* amend or prevent amendment of our articles of incorporation or bylaws;
* effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate
transaction; and
* affect the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders
for vote
Moreover, because of the significant ownership position held by our insider, new
investors may not be able to effect a change in the Company's business or
management, and therefore, shareholders would be subject to decisions made by
management and the majority shareholder.
In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by Mr. Tomski, or the
prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common
stock. Management's stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from
making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company;
this could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a
premium over our stock price.
WE ARE SELLING SHARES IN THIS OFFERING WITHOUT AN UNDERWRITER AND MAY BE UNABLE
TO SELL ALL OF THE SHARES; WE MAY HAVE TO SEEK ALTERNATIVE FINANCING TO
IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLANS
This offering is self-underwritten, that is, we are not engaging the services of
an underwriter to sell the shares. We intend to sell them through our President
and Director, who will receive no commissions. He will offer the shares to
friends, relatives, acquaintances and business associates; however, there is no
guarantee that he will be able to sell any/all of the shares. In the event we do
not sell all of the shares before the expiration date of the Offering, we will
have to seek alternative financing sources. There is no provision to refund all
or portion of the funds to our existing shareholders raised by selling company
shares.
YOU WILL INCUR IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR
SHARES
Our existing stockholder acquired his shares at a cost of $0.001 per share, a
cost per share that is substantially less than the amount you will pay for the
shares you purchase in this offering. Accordingly, any investment you make in
these shares will result in the immediate and substantial dilution of the net
tangible book value of those shares from the $0.01 you pay for them (see the
Dilution table).
THE PROCEEDS OF OUR OFFERING WILL BE HELD IN A STANDARD CORPORATE CHECKING
ACCOUNT (RATHER THAN AN ESCROW ACCOUNT) UNTIL THE OFFERING CLOSES, IT IS
POSSIBLE THAT CREDITORS OF THE COMPANY COULD ATTACH THESE FUNDS
Our management will have sole control over the withdrawal of funds. We have not
made arrangements to place the funds in an escrow account with a third party
escrow agent due to the costs involved. As a result, investors are subject to
the risk that creditors could attach these funds during the offering process.
THERE IS CURRENTLY NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES, THERE CAN BE NO
ASSURANCE THAT ANY PUBLIC MARKET WILL DEVELOP OR THAT OUR COMMON STOCK WILL BE
QUOTED FOR TRADING
There is no public market for our securities and there can be no assurance that
an active trading market for the securities offered herein will develop after
this offering by the selling stockholders, or, if developed, be sustained. After
the effective date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a
part, we intend to identify a market maker to file an application with the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to have our common stock quoted
on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. We will have to satisfy certain criteria
in order for our application to be accepted. We do not currently have a market
maker that is willing to participate in this application process, and even if we
identify a market maker, we cannot assure you that we will meet the acceptance
criteria. Our common stock may never be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin
Board, or, if quoted, a public market may not materialize.

RISK OF LOSING INVESTMENT
If our securities are not eligible for initial quotation, or if quoted, are not
eligible for continued quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or a
public trading market does not develop, purchasers of the shares of common stock
may have difficulty selling or be unable to sell their securities, rendering
their shares effectively worthless and resulting in a partial or complete loss
of their investment.
PURCHASING PENNY STOCK LIMITS INVESTOR'S ABILITY TO RE-SELL
The shares offered by this Prospectus constitute "penny stock" under the
Exchange Act. The shares will remain "penny stock" for the foreseeable future.
"Penny stock" rules impose additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of
$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with a
spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a
special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have
received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the
purchase.
Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule
prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The
broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the
securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price
information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the "penny
stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our shares of
common stock. The market price of our shares would likely suffer as a result.
FINRA SALES REQUIREMENTS MAY LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR
STOCK
FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a
customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the
investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low
priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make
reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status,
tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations
of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative
low priced securities will not be suitable for certain customers. FINRA
requirements will likely make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend
that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing
the level of trading activity in our common stock. As a result, fewer
broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a
stockholder's ability to resell shares of our common stock.
STATE SECURITIES LAWS MAY LIMIT SECONDARY TRADING, RESTRICTING THE STATES WHERE
YOU CAN RESELL THE SHARES OFFERED BY THIS PROSPECTUS
If you purchase shares of our common stock sold pursuant to this offering, you
may not be able to resell the shares in a certain state unless and until the
shares of our common stock are qualified for secondary trading under the
applicable securities laws of such state or there is confirmation that an
exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is
available for secondary trading in such state. There can be no assurance that we
will be successful in registering or qualifying our common stock for secondary
trading, or identifying an available exemption for secondary trading in our
common stock in every state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or
verify an exemption for the secondary trading of our common stock in any
particular state, the shares of common stock could not be offered or sold to, or
purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number
of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the market for
the common stock will be limited, which could drive down the market price of our
common stock and reduce the liquidity of the shares of our common stock and a
stockholder's ability to resell shares of our common stock at all or at current
market prices, which could increase a stockholder's risk of losing some or all
of her investment.
IF QUOTED, THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE VOLATILE; YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
SELL YOUR SHARES AT OR ABOVE THE ACQUISITION PRICE
Even if our shares are quoted for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board
following this offering and a public market develops for our common stock, the
market price of our common stock may be volatile. It may fluctuate significantly
in response to the following factors:
9
* variations in quarterly operating results;
* our announcements of significant commissions and achievement of
milestones;
* our relationships with other companies or capital commitments;
* additions or departures of key personnel;
* sales of common stock or termination of stock transfer restrictions;
* changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, if any; and
* fluctuations in stock market price and volume.
Your inability to sell your shares during a decline in the price of our stock
may increase losses that you may suffer as a result of your investment.
SINCE WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY ANY DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON SHARES, STOCKHOLDERS
SHOULD RELY ON STOCK APPRECIATION FOR ANY RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since inception;
we do not anticipate paying any such dividends for the foreseeable future.
Accordingly, holders of our common stock will have to rely on capital
appreciation, if any, to earn a return on their investment in our common stock.
ADDITIONAL ISSUANCES OF OUR SECURITIES MAY RESULT IN IMMEDIATE DILUTION TO
EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS
We must raise additional capital in order for our business plan to succeed. Our
most likely source of additional capital will be through the sale of additional
shares of common stock. We are authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of
common stock, of which 5,000,000 shares of common stock are currently issued and
outstanding. Our Board of Directors has the authority over issuing additional
shares of common, and to determine the rights, preferences and privilege of such
shares, without consent of any of our stockholders. We may issue shares in
connection with financing arrangements or otherwise. Any such issuances will
result in immediate dilution to our existing shareholders' interests, which will
negatively affect the value of your shares.
WE MAY BE EXPOSED TO POTENTIAL RISKS RESULTING FROM NEW REQUIREMENTS UNDER
SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002
Pursuant to Section 404 of the SOX Act, we will be required to include in our
annual report our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting once this registration statement becomes effective and we
commence filing financial reports with the Securities & Exchange Commission. We
expect to incur additional expenses and diversion of management's time as a
result of performing the system and process evaluation, testing and remediation
required in order to comply with the management certification and auditor
attestation requirements.
We currently do not have a sufficient number of employees to segregate
responsibilities and may be unable to afford increasing our staff or engaging
outside consultants. During the course of our testing, we may identify other
deficiencies that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline
imposed by the SOX Act Section 404. As such standards are modified, supplemented
or amended; it may be difficult to ensure effective internal controls over
financial reporting. Effective internal controls, particularly those related to
revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports
and are important to help prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable
financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be
harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information,
and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop
significantly.
THE OFFERING PRICE HAS BEEN ARBITRARILY SET BY COMPANY; YOU MAY NOT REALIZE A
RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT UPON RESALE OF YOUR SHARES
The offering price and other terms and conditions relative to the Company's
shares have been arbitrarily determined by us and do not bear any relationship
to assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value.
Additionally, as the Company was formed on April 17, 2014 and has only a limited
operating history and nominal earnings, the price of the offered shares is not
based on its past earnings and no investment banker, appraiser or other
independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the
shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares, as such our
stockholders may not be able to receive a return on their investment when they
sell their shares of common stock.

activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements. In addition, you are directed to factors discussed
in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results

USE OF PROCEEDS
Our offering is being made on a self-underwritten basis: no minimum number of
shares must be sold in order for the offering to proceed. The offering price per
share is $0.01. The following table sets forth the uses of proceeds assuming the
sale of either 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, respectively, of the securities offered
for sale by the Company. There is no assurance that we will raise the full
$100,000 as anticipated.
Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3 Scenario 4
Expense Category $25,000 $50,000 $75,000 $100,000
---------------- ------- ------- ------- --------
Legal and Professional $ 9,500 $ 9,500 $ 9,500 $ 9,500
Administration $ 1,650 $ 4,000 $ 6,000 $ 9,000
Design $ 1,650 $ 4,000 $ 6,000 $ 9,000
Salaries $ 3,000 $11,000 $18,000 $23,000
Advertising $ 3,700 $11,000 $20,000 $26,000
Production $ 5,500 $10,500 $15,500 $23,500
The amounts actually spent for any specific purpose may vary and will depend on
a number of factors. Non-fixed cost, sales and marketing and general and
administrative costs may vary with business progress and development efforts,
general business conditions and market reception. Accordingly, our management
has broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds to non-fixed costs.
An example of changes to this spending allocation for non-fixed costs include
management deciding to spend less of the allotment on product development and
more on sales and marketing.
If necessary, Ilia Tomski, our President and Director has verbally agreed to
loan the company funds to complete the registration process. We will require
full funding to implement our complete business plan. If insufficient funds are
raised we plan to borrow funds from our management.
11
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
There is no established market for our stock. The offering price of the shares
has been determined arbitrarily by us. The price does not bear any relationship
to our assets, book value, earnings, or other established criteria for valuing a
privately held company. In determining the number of shares to be offered and
the offering price, we took into consideration our capital structure and the
amount of money we would need to implement our business plans. Accordingly, the
offering price should not be considered an indication of the actual value of our
securities.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this Prospectus
forms a part, we intend to seek a market maker to file an application with the
FINRA to have our stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. However, we cannot
assure you that our shares will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or, if
quoted, that a public market will materialize.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate
broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny
stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other
than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on
the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with
respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or
quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a
transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document
prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, that:
a. contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market
for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
b. contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the
customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with
respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the
securities laws;
c. contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market,
including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of
the spread between the bid and ask price;
d. contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary
actions;
e. defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct
of trading in penny stocks; and
f. contains such other information and is in such form, including
language, type, size and format, as the Securities and Exchange
Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker or dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a
penny stock, the customer with:
(a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
(b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the
transaction;
(c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other
comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the
market for such stock; and
(d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny
stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a
penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt
of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving
penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a suitably written statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading
activity in the secondary market for our stock. Therefore, if our common stock
becomes subject to the penny stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty
selling those securities.
HOLDERS
We had one holder of record of our common stock as of November 4, 2014.
SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS
We do not have any securities authorized for issuance under any equity
compensation plans.
12
PENNY STOCK REGULATION
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any
equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per
share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are
subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the
broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of
such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the
transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a
penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the
transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny
stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to
both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for
the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the
broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer presumed control
over the market. Finally, among other requirements, 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 stocks. As the Shares immediately
following this Offering will likely be subject to such penny stock rules,
purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to
sell their Shares in the secondary market.
DIVIDENT POLICY
We have not paid any cash dividends to shareholders. The declaration of any
future cash dividends is at the discretion of our board of Directors and depends
upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position,
general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present
intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to
reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
DILUTION
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net
tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net
tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total
liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a
result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being
offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of
the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders.
In this offering, the level of dilution is increased as a result of the
relatively low book value of Asteriko's presently issued and outstanding stock.
This is due to the shares of common stock issued to the Company's founder
totaling 5,000,000 shares at $0.001 per share for $5,000 cash versus the current
offering price of $0.01 per share.
The Company's net tangible book value on June 30, 2014 was $2,406 or
approximately $0.000 per share, based upon 5,000,000 shares outstanding. Upon
completion of this offering, but without taking into account any change in the
net tangible book value after completion of this offering other than that
resulting from the sale of the shares and receipt of the total proceeds of
$100,000, the net tangible book value of the 15,000,000 shares to be outstanding
will be $102,406 or approximately $0.0068 per share.
DILUTION TABLE
The price of the current offering is fixed at $0.01 per common share. This price
is significantly higher than the price paid by our Director and Officer for
common equity since the Company's inception on April 17, 2014. Mr. Tomski, our
Officer and Director, paid $0.001 per share for the 5,000,000 common shares
Assuming completion of the offering, there will be up to 15,000,000 common
shares outstanding. The following table illustrates the per common share
dilution that may be experienced by investors at various funding levels based on
stockholders' equity of $2,406 as of June 30th, 2014.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
This is a self-underwritten offering. There are no plans or arrangements to
enter into any contracts or agreements to sell the Shares with a broker or
dealer. Mr. Tomski, our President and Director will sell the shares and intends
to offer them to friends, family members and business acquaintances with no
commission or other remuneration payable to him for any Shares he sells. In
offering the securities on our behalf, he will rely on the safe harbor from
broker-dealer registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934.
He will not register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1, which sets forth those
conditions under which a person associated with an issuer, may participate in
the offering of the issuer's securities and not be deemed to be a broker-dealer.
Our President and Director satisfies the requirements of Rule 3a4-1, because he:
(a) is not subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is
defined in Section 3(a)(39)of the Act, at the time of his
participation; and
(b) will not be compensated in connection with his participation by the
payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or
indirectly on transactions in securities neither he will be
compensated in any other forms with the proceeds of this offering; and
(c) is not, nor will he be at the time of his participation in the
offering, an associated person of a broker-dealer; and
(d) meets the conditions of paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the
Exchange Act, in that he (A) primarily performs, or is intended
primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties
for or on behalf of our company, other than in connection with
transactions in securities; and (B) is not a broker or dealer, or been
associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding twelve
months; and (C) has not participated in selling and offering
securities for any Issuer more than once every twelve months other
than in reliance on Paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii).
We will not utilize the internet to advertise our offering. We intend to
advertise our products and services through our website. Mr. Tomski will also
distribute the Prospectus to potential investors at the meetings, to business
associates and to his friends and relatives who are interested in us and a
possible investment in the offering. No shares purchased in this offering will
be subject to any kind of lock-up agreement.
Our President and Director does not intend to purchase any shares in this
offering.
14
SECTION 15(G) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules
15g-1 through 15g-6 and Rule 15g-9 promulgated there under, impose additional
sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities to persons
other than established customers and accredited investors (generally
institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth
in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly
with their spouses). While Section 15(g) and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 apply to
brokers-dealers, they do not apply to us.
Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny
stock rules. Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker/dealer transactions in penny
stocks unless the broker/dealer has first provided to the customer a
standardized disclosure document.
Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker/dealer to engage in a penny
stock transaction unless the broker/dealer first discloses and subsequently
confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information
concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker/dealers from completing penny stock transactions for
a customer unless the broker/dealer first discloses to the customer the amount
of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock
transaction.
Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker/dealer executing a penny stock transaction,
other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of
or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.
Rule 15g-6 requires broker/dealers selling penny stocks to provide their
customers with monthly account statements.
Rule 15g-9 requires broker/dealers to approve the transaction for the customer's
account; obtain a written agreement from the customer setting forth the identity
and quantity of the stock being purchased; obtain from the customer information
regarding her investment experience; make a determination that the investment is
suitable for the investor; deliver to the customer a written statement for the
basis for the suitability determination; notify the customer of her rights and
remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the FINRA's toll
free telephone number and the central number of the North American Securities
Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of
broker/dealers and their associated persons.
The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your
shares.

OPTIONS, WARRANTS AND RIGHTS

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE RESALE
GENERAL
There is no public market for our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if
any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of
shares of our common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common
stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market
could adversely affect the market prices of our common stock and could impair
our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.
Upon completion of this offering, based on our outstanding shares as of November
4, 2014, we will have outstanding an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of our
common stock. Of these shares, upon effectiveness of the registration statement
of which this Prospectus forms a part, the 10,000,000 shares covered hereby will
be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the
Securities Act.
The remaining 5,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to be outstanding are
owned by our President and Director, known as our "affiliate," and may not be
resold in the public market except in compliance with the registration
requirements of the Securities Act or under an exemption under Rule 144 under
the Securities Act, if available, or otherwise.

The securities sold in this offering can only be resold through registration
under Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 4(1), if available, for

securities may not rely on the safe harbor from being deemed statutory
underwriter under Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, as provided by Rule 144,
to resell his or her securities. "Form 10 information" is, generally speaking,
the same type of information as we are required to disclose in this Prospectus,
but without an offering of securities.
Matheau J. W. Stout, Esq. has opined on the validity of the shares of common
stock being offered hereby.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
We were incorporated on April 17, 2014 in the State of Nevada. We have never
been involved in any reclassification, merger, consolidation or purchase or sale
of a significant amount of assets nor have we ever declared bankruptcy, been in
receivership, or been involved in any legal action or proceedings.
Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion which includes a statement
expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY STATUS
Because we generated less than $1 billion in total annual gross revenues during
our most recently completed fiscal year, we qualify as an "emerging growth
company" under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups ("JOBS") Act.
We will lose our emerging growth company status on the earliest occurrence of
any of the following events:
1. on the last day of any fiscal year in which we earn at least $1
billion in total annual gross revenues, which amount is adjusted for
inflation every five years;
2. on the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth
anniversary of the date of our first sale of common equity securities
pursuant to an effective registration statement;
17
3. on the date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period,
issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; or
4. the date on which such issuer is deemed to be a `large accelerated
filer', as defined in section 240.12b-2 of title 17, Code of Federal
Regulations, or any successor thereto."
A "large accelerated filer" is an issuer that, at the end of its fiscal year,
meets the following conditions:
1. it has an aggregate worldwide market value of the voting and
non-voting common equity held by its non-affiliates of $700 million or
more as of the last business day of the issuer's most recently
completed second fiscal quarter;
2. It has been subject to the requirements of section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Act for a period of at least twelve calendar months; and
3. It has filed at least one annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Act.
As an emerging growth company, exemptions from the following provisions are
available to us:
1. Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires
auditor attestation of internal controls;
2. Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which
require companies to hold shareholder advisory votes on executive
compensation and golden parachute compensation;
3. Section 14(i) of the Exchange Act (which has not yet been
implemented), which requires companies to disclose the relationship
between executive compensation actually paid and the financial
performance of the company;
4. Section 953(b)(1) of the Dodd-Frank Act (which has not yet been
implemented), which requires companies to disclose the ratio between
the annual total compensation of the CEO and the median of the annual
total compensation of all employees of the companies; and
5. The requirement to provide certain other executive compensation
disclosure under Item 402 of Regulation S-K. Instead, an emerging
growth company must only comply with the more limited provisions of
Item 402 applicable to smaller reporting companies, regardless of the
issuer's size.
Pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company may choose
to forgo such exemption and instead comply with the requirements that apply to
an issuer that is not an emerging growth company. We have elected under this
section of the JOBS Act to maintain our status as an emerging growth company and
take advantage of the JOBS Act provisions relating to complying with new or
revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.
BUSINESS OF ISSUER
INDUSTRY
According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, the overall employment of
designers and decorators is expected to grow about as fast as the average for
all occupations.
The color-shifting technology is currently used in paint systems, primarily for
automobiles, but there is an increased market demand to extend these color
effects to the new product markets beyond auto market.
Exterior and Interior designers start using color-shifting effects in innovative
ways on areas not traditionally associated with dramatic treatments, e.g. walls,
ceilings and floor coverings of building surfaces. The statement surface
coverings can be used in both residential and commercial environments.
Our company will be designing color-shifting materials for decorative purposes.
Our company proposes the new solution for color-shifting effects that will work
on a number of surfaces used for interior and exterior decoration. This will
include ceiling panels, tiled wall surfaces, and floor decorations.
18
Our main market segments are:
* Small and medium size businesses - corporate customers, e.g. shops,
hotels, fitness clubs and night clubs owners
* Building contractors and industrial design and architecture companies
* Individuals - home owners
DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT OR SERVICES
Our initial product will be color changing lattice panels designed for suspended
ceiling.
The idea of color changing surfaces is not new. Color decomposition of reflected
light also known as refraction combined with light interference is a known
effect and is used in automotive industry for development of special paints.
Our approach is to achieve similar results using different and more cost
effective technology. This approach is based on ability of an average human eye
to blend reflected lights and view them as a single color. The type of color
depends on combination of base colors (red, blue, and green) in the reflection.
All color TVs use similar principle to achieve multicolor effect. The main
difference with our proposal is that TV generates light whereas we use the
surface reflection. Only select material can be used to achieve this effect the
surface of the material should have special geometrical figures on a small level
and each painted with at least 3 different colors.
Prior to creating Asteriko Corp. our President has done many experiments and
discovered that simple 3D transparent rectangular grid structure could act as a
color changing decorative element by simply applying different colors to
different faces of the 3D grid. Viewed from different angles, such structure
appears to have not only different but also dynamically changing color depending
of the viewpoint of the observer.
The grid density and the height of each individual rectangular cell defines the
light transparency of the element, if back lit, as well as the sensitivity of
the color shifting to a different viewing angle. Desired color changing effects
can also be achieved through the application of directional spray painting to
randomly oriented micro-surfaces.
We are beginning to experiment with rigid and soft foam. It is our understanding
that foam sheets of 0.5" to 1.0" thick, rigid or soft, could be made as 3D
lattices of adjacent polygons, much like certain types of packing foam. Having
painted each face of the polygon into different color will create desired color
changing illusion if viewed from different directions.
Our plan is to carry out a phased approach in establishing and developing
Asteriko Corp. The first phase will focus on developing and refining design
solutions and producing samples The second phase will be production and
manufacturing.
Phase one:
a) select the most effective way to make a given surface to change its
color
b) identify the materials to be used
c) manufacture and sell small batches of different materials such as
ceiling panels as a proof of concept to see if our products generate
interest
d) enhance directional spray painting process to achieve better quality
e) document the technological process and our "know how"
Phase two:
a) advertise our product and technology
b) negotiate with suppliers and manufacturers of the foam panels of
desired geometry. Currently suppliers such as Clark Foam Products
Corp. and several others all capable of manufacturing an initial
monochromatic 3D foam lattices
c) establish distribution network
19
d) expand our technology to other materials used for surface decorations
capitalizing the basic working principle of the 3D rectangular color
changing grid
In case of successful growth of our business, necessary funds will be available
through operating profits to further optimize present technique for making color
changing rectangular lattices and foam panels as well as establishing proper
manufacturing. It will also be possible to start producing samples of color
changing ceramic or stamped metal tiles.
TARGET MARKET AND CLIENTS
The main target market for our products and services will include retail and
commercial establishments where unique and original appearance is an integral
part of their success. We will also provide design solutions and materials to
the residential sector.
Our potential customers will be in the following potential sectors:
First Phase:
* Building contractors and industrial design and architecture companies
* Home owners for new builds or renovations
Future phases:
* Retail establishments e.g. boutique and specialty stores
* Commercial establishments including restaurants, night clubs,
theaters, hotels and fitness clubs
* Geographically at the initial stage of our development we'll target
the North American markets
SOURCE OF REVENUE
Our main of source of revenue will initially be the sales of design solutions to
the house and building designers and constructors i.e.:
1. Design of color-shifting suspended ceiling panels to customer-provided
specifications
2. Consulting on application and integration of our panels into customer
interior or exterior design.
Additional revenue stream expected to come from manufacturing of color-shifting
suspended ceiling surfaces for home owners as well as retail and commercial
establishments in the future.
MARKETING STRATEGY
In order to attract customers and promote products, our company has created the
website. We will also market through online advertisements. For online and
website advertising we will use the following methods:
* Link our site to free web Directories
* Use shared online advertisement facilities
* Distribute online banners to attract more attention from the customers
and provide credibility to the product by including customer feedback
* Advertise through classified ads and blogs
* Add our website address to the relevant search engines
We will also advertise through local and global classified ads and social
networking. Sales brochures will be printed to provide necessary company product
and service information. We will organize onsite presentations for perspective
clients with sample demonstrations.
COMPETITION AND COMPETITIVE STRATEGY
There is a small number of potential competitors that provide some elements of
what Asteriko Corp., will offer to its customers. However, no direct competition
exists since the product that our company develops is unique to design and
construction industry. It uses innovative technological solution that is low
cost and economical.
20
Several differences in application arise when comparing our technology to color
changing paint technology as well as some colored light arrangements. The main
difference in application is simplicity as one can imagine the installation of a
ceiling panel or wall panel compared to painting or running electricity. No
major surface preparation is required. Another significant difference is
flexibility of installation in terms of design and final appearance. Taking
rectangular grid ceiling panel as example, not only various ornamental
combinations could be applied right at the customer site but also customer is
left with the ability to adjust and even entirely change the appearance of the
ceiling by rotating and relocating individual panels.
There is also a difference in application of our innovative technology. Once we
fully launch operations we expect to compete successfully on a basis of price,
quality and novelty of our product.
Currently, our competitive position within the industry is negligible in light
of the fact that we have just recently started our operations.
SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS AND SUPPLIES
We believe that our President's industry experience and connections will enable
us to develop the various aspects of the business. Mr. Tomski has experience
with design and engineering of products and creating promotion and marketing
packages. While working as Research Scientist and Industrial Post Doctoral
Fellow for Ionics Mass Spectrometry Group Inc., Mr. Tomski (in addition to his
main duties as research scientist) has been actively involved in promoting the
company products through installations, demonstrations and training provided to
existing and potential customers around the world. He also promoted company's
products through onsite and offsite presentations and industrial conferences.
Throughout his career Mr. Tomski has been involved in design and manufacturing
of hi-tech industrial equipment such as high vacuum systems for utilization in
particle accelerator applications in general and for Accelerator Mass
Spectrometry application in particular. Mr. Tomski has hands on experience in
design, manufacturing and operation of ion optical elements such as atmospheric
pressure to vacuum sampling interface, ion guides, ion collision cells that are
vital components of commercial mass spectrometers for bio-medical applications.
Mr. Tomski has also been involved in design and manufacturing of cryogenic
systems for commercial superconducting gravity gradiometer; this includes design
and manufacturing of superconducting electrical circuits and gradiometer sensor
components.
Currently he oversees design and manufacturing of superconducting gravity
gradiometer sensor in the start-up company targeting major land exploration and
natural resources surveying.
We believe there are no constraints on the sources or availability of products,
materials and supplies related to the production of suspended panels.
DEPENDENCE ON ONE OR A FEW MAJOR CUSTOMERS
At this stage we sell small number of panels as a proof of concept to test the
market reaction to our product.
We currently have only 3 customers (generated $3,239 in revenue to date) we plan
to extend our market in the near future.
Our products are applicable to a wide range of customers from individual home
owners to commercial construction companies. We believe because of the
potentially broad base of customers for our services, we will not rely on one or
few major customers. Our initial contract with "Glik-Art" was created to attract
new customer with 20% discount for a period of 6 months. Due to different needs
of the clients we cannot in advance include in the contract specific materials
or design. For each specific order we disclose the type of materials to be used,
design specifications and labor rates. Currently we don't have special
relationships with these customers, other than contract with "Glik-Art" offering
20% discount for 6 month. Any customer may purchase our product based on their
needs.
PATENT, TRADEMARK, LICENSE & FRANCHISE RESTRICTIONS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
& CONCESSIONS
There are no inherent factors or circumstances associated with this industry, or
any of the products or services that we expect to be providing that would give
rise to any patent, trademark or license infringements or violations. We have
not entered into any franchise agreements or other contracts that have given, or
could give rise to obligations or concessions. Out web domain and IP address as
well as company information will be protected by our domain host.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
On May 12, 2014, we issued an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock
to our Director for aggregate consideration of $5,000.
The following table sets forth the information regarding the beneficial
ownership of our common stock as of November 4, 2014 for our Director. There is
no other person or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own
more than 5% of our common stock.
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. These rules generally attribute beneficial
ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or
investment power with respect to those securities. The person is also deemed to
be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to
acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Unless otherwise indicated, the
person identified in this table has sole voting and investment power with
respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by him, subject to applicable
community property laws, and the address for each person listed in the table is
Asteriko Corp., 616 Corporate Way, Suite 2-6834, Valley Cottage, NY 10989.
The percentage ownership information shown in the table below is calculated
based on 5,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of
November 4, 2014. We do not have any outstanding options, warrants or other
securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of our common stock.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition
and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements
and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this
Prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or
set forth elsewhere in this Prospectus, including information with respect to
our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should
review the "Risk Factors" section of this Prospectus for a discussion of
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in
the following discussion and analysis.
Our cash balance was $10,000 as of June 30, 2014. We believe our cash balance is
not sufficient to fund our limited levels of operations for any period of time.
We have been utilizing funds received from our President and Director from the
purchase of shares. He has no commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to
advance or loan funds to the company. In order to implement our plan of
operations for the next twelve month period, we require a minimum of $25,000
(approximately $9,500 of which are legal and registration fees for a public
company) of funding from this offering. Being a development stage company, we
have very limited operating history. After twelve months period we may need
additional financing, for which we currently don't have any arrangements. Our US
office is located at 616 Corporate Way, Suite 2-6834, Valley Cottage, NY 10989.
Our principal executive office is located at 353 Bathurst Glen Dr., Thornhill,
ON L4J 9A3 Canada. Our phone number is (845) 512-5020.
Our independent registered public accountant has issued a going concern opinion.
This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going
business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay
our bills. We have generated revenues of $3,239 up to June 30, 2014; no
significant additional revenue is anticipated until we complete our initial
business development. There is no assurance we will ever reach that stage.
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering.
We believe that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to
expand our proposed operations, however there is no guarantee that we will stay
in business after doing so. At the present time, we have not made any
arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this offering.
We are an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take
advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are
applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies"
including, but not limited to: not required to comply with the auditor
attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports
and proxy statements; exemptions from the requirements of holding an annual
non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and nonbinding stockholder
approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition,
Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an "emerging growth company" can
take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B)
of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In
other words, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain
accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private
companies. We are choosing to "opt out" of such extended transition period, and
as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the
relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging
growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt
out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised
accounting standards is irrevocable.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FROM INCEPTION ON APRIL 17, 2014 TO JUNE 30, 2014
From inception to June 30, 2014, our operating expenses were comprised of
professional fees of $3,078 and general and administrative expenses of $2,755.

to the following customers:
* $890 from Glik-Art;
* $1,636 from Xan Systems Inc.;

The contract with Glik-Art does not include specific price, rather offering six
months product discount. Customer may choose different materials and different
design of the ceiling panels based on their current needs. Purchase price will
vary. There is an invoice from June 13, 2014 to the Glik-Art that does specify
the purchase price. There could be a multiple purchases from the same company.
Contract is not limited to a single purchase and is valid for 6 months since the
signing date. The full amount received from Glik-Art includes payment for
materials and labor to date is $890 dollars.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $10,000 cash and liabilities of $8,984. The
available capital reserves of the Company are sufficient for the Company to
remain operational.
Our negative cash flow per month is: $5,833/2.5=$2,333 (estimated based on the
current period expenses). Based on this estimate and on current cash on hand we
can sustain operations until October 2014 ($10,000/$2,333 = 4.3 months).
Since inception, we have sold 5,000,000 shares of common stocks to our President
and Director, at a price of $0.001 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $5,000.
Our President and Director also provided $5,000 long term loan to the company.
We are attempting to raise funds to proceed with our plan of operation. Our
current cash on hand will be used to pay the fees and expenses of this offering.
We will have to utilize funds from our President and Director. However, he has
no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to loan funds to the
company. To proceed with our operations for 12 months, we need a minimum of
$25,000. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to sell all the shares
required to satisfy our 12 months financial requirement. If we are successful,
all funds raised will be applied to the items set forth in the Use of Proceeds
section of this Prospectus. In the long term we may need additional financing.
We do not currently have any arrangements for obtaining such additional
financing. Obtaining additional funding will be subject to a number of factors,
including general market conditions, investor acceptance of our business plan
and initial results from our business operations. These factors may impact the
timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing available. There is
no assurance that any additional financing will be available or if available, on
terms that will be acceptable to us.
GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION
Our auditors have issued a "going concern" opinion, meaning that there is
substantial doubt for the company to continue as an on-going business for the
next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital. No substantial revenues
are anticipated until we have completed the financing from this offering and
implemented our plan of operations. Our only source for cash at this time is
investments by others in this offering. We must raise cash to implement our
strategy and stay in business. If we sell at least 25% of the shares in the
offering we believe that we will have the resources to operate for the next 12
months, including for the costs associated with becoming a publicly reporting
company. The company anticipates to incur approximately $9,500 in legal and
registration cost over the next 12 months.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
We have no historical financial information upon which to base an evaluation of
our performance. We are in a start-up operation stages and have generated
revenues of $3,239 from the several clients as of the date of this Prospectus
(Glik-Art - graphic design and service, Artline Engraving Design, and Xan
Systems Inc). We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business
operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a
new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost
overruns due to price and cost increases in services and products.
32
AVAILABLE INFORMATION
We do not plan to register our common stock under Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") by filing a Form 8-A on a
pre-effective basis. The consequences to investors with the company being a

Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, we are not required to file periodic reports
if we have less than 300 holders of record for the fiscal year after the year of
effectiveness. If we do not register our securities under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act, we may not have an ongoing periodic reporting obligation and will
not be subject to the Commission's proxy rules and Section 16 of the Exchange
Act.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
The Nevada General Corporation Law requires to indemnify Officers and Directors
for any expenses incurred by any Officer or Director in connection with any
actions or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative, brought against such Officer or Director because of his or her
status as an Officer or Director, to the extent that the Director or Officer has
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action or
proceeding. The Nevada General Corporation Law permits a corporation to
indemnify an Officer or Director, even in the absence of an agreement to do so,
for expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding if such
Officer or Director acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and such indemnification is authorized by the stockholders, by a
quorum of disinterested Directors, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion authorized by a majority vote of a quorum of Directors consisting of
disinterested Directors, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if
a quorum of disinterested Directors cannot be obtained.
The Nevada General Corporation Law prohibits indemnification of a Director or
Officer if a final adjudication establishes that the Officer's or Director's
acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation
of the law and were material to the cause of action. Despite the foregoing
limitations on indemnification, the Nevada General Corporation Law may permit an
Officer or Director to apply to the court for approval of indemnification even
if the Officer or Director is adjudged to have committed intentional misconduct,
fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.
The Nevada General Corporation Law also provides that indemnification of
Directors is not permitted for the unlawful payment of distributions, except for
those Directors registering their dissent to the payment of the distribution.
According to Article 11 of our Bylaws, we are authorized to indemnify our
Directors to the fullest extent authorized under Nevada law subject to certain
specified limitations.
33
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be provided to Directors, Officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.

exhibits) under the Securities Act with respect to the shares to be sold in this

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Asteriko Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Asteriko Corp. (the "Company")
as of June 30, 2014 and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the period from April 17, 2014 (inception) through
June 30, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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 financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included 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 includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2014
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from April
17, 2014 (inception) through June 30, 2014 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the
financial statements, the Company had a deficit at June 30, 2014, a net loss and
net cash used in operating activities for the period from April 17, 2014
(inception) through June 30, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regards to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
ASTERIKO CORP.
Asteriko Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated on April 17, 2014 under the laws
of the State of Nevada. The Company provides customers with unique and
innovative solutions for their decorative needs. The company's initial product
is lattice panels designed for suspended ceiling.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of
appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting policies
and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that
are both most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition
and results and require management's most difficult, subjective, or complex
judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of
matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company's significant and critical
accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by generally
accepted accounting principles.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S.
GAAP").
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The Company is a development stage company as defined by section 915-10-20 of
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company is devoting
substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and its planned
principal operations have not commenced. All losses accumulated since inception
have been considered as part of the Company's development stage activities.
The Company has elected to adopt early application of Accounting Standards
Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of
Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. Upon adoption, the Company no longer
presents or discloses inception-to-date information and other remaining
disclosure requirements of Topic 915.
FISCAL YEAR-END
The Company elected June 30 as its fiscal year ending date.
USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND
ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of 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 of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s)
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period(s).
Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the
estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to
account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to
change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating
performance is material. The Company's critical accounting estimates and
assumptions affecting the financial statements were as follows:
(i) ASSUMPTION AS A GOING CONCERN: Management assumes that the Company
will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of
operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in
the normal course of business;
F-7
(ii) VALUATION ALLOWANCE FOR DEFERRED TAX ASSETS: Management assumes that
the realization of the Company's net deferred tax assets resulting
from its net operating loss ("NOL") carry-forwards for Federal income
tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not
considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax
benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by a full valuation
allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company
has incurred recurring losses, (b) general economic conditions, and
(c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily
operations by way of a public or private offering, among other
factors.
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change
due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or
assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or
value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form
the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop
the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and
circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such
evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and
paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Paragraph
820-10-35-37") to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph
820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value
measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair
value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to
measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives
the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37
are described below:
Level 1 Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2 Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in
Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the
reporting date.
Level 3 Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not
corroborated by market data.
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined
using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques
and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the
financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described
above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant
to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets and liabilities, such as
cash and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the short
maturity of these instruments.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on
an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market
dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties,
if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on
terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such
representations can be substantiated.
F-8
CARRYING VALUE, RECOVERABILITY AND IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company has adopted paragraph 360-10-35-17 of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification for its long-lived assets. The Company's long-lived assets, which
include property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable.
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing
the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived
asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives
against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the
excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is
generally determined using the asset's expected future discounted cash flows or
market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be
recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are
shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets
are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives.
The Company considers the following to be some examples of important indicators
that may trigger an impairment review: (i) significant under-performance or
losses of assets relative to expected historical or projected future operating
results; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the
Company's overall strategy with respect to the manner or use of the acquired
assets or changes in the Company's overall business strategy; (iii) significant
negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; and
(v) regulatory changes. The Company evaluates acquired assets for potential
impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence
of such events.
The impairment charges, if any, is included in operating expenses in the
accompanying statements of operations.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three
months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and
betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations
as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the
straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated
residual values) over the assets estimated useful life of five (5) to seven (7)
years. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is
reflected in the statements of operations.
RELATED PARTIES
The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related
party transactions.
Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include (a) affiliates of the
Company; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be
required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value
Option Subsection of Section 825-10-15, to be accounted for by the equity method
by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as
pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship
of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the
Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls
or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other
to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully
pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can
significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting
parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and
can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the
transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate
interests.
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party
transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and
other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of
transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined
financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall
include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) a description of
the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts
were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are
presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of
the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar
amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are
F-9
presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms
from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amounts due from or to related
parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise
apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may
exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a
loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future
events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities,
and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing
loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the
Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company
evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as
well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be
sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material
loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then
the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements.
If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not
probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated,
then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of
possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they
involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management
does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these
matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such
matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company's business,
financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is
realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or
realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the
services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or
determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
INCOME TAX PROVISION
The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities
are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and
laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent
management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be
realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements
of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification ("Section 740-10-25"). Section 740-10-25 addresses the
determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax
return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25,
the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if
it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on
examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the
position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a
position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than
fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification,
interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and
requires increased disclosures.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis
of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as
well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically
reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets
and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might
be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax
liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing
jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management's
opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If
actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional
allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
F-10
UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS
The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to
its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section
740-10-25 for the period from March 12, 2014 (inception) through May 31, 2014.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common
share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income
(loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive
outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential
dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent share
arrangements, stock options and warrants.
There were no potentially dilutive common shares outstanding for the period from
March 12, 2014 (inception) through May 31, 2014.
CASH FLOWS REPORTING
The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments
according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing
activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or
reconciliation method ("Indirect method") as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from
operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow
from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past
operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future
operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net
income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company
reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using
the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of
exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a
separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and
cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and
financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period
pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will
evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were
issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification,
the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they
are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial
Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting
Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.
The amendments in this Update change the requirements for reporting discontinued
operations in Subtopic 205-20.
Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a
component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held
for sale and "represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major
effect on an entity's operations and financial results." The ASU states that a
strategic shift could include a disposal of (i) a major geographical area of
operations, (ii) a major line of business, (iii) a major equity method
investment, or (iv) other major parts of an entity. Although "major" is not
defined, the standard provides examples of when a disposal qualifies as a
discontinued operation.
The ASU also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations that
will provide more information about the assets, liabilities, income and expenses
of discontinued operations. In addition, the ASU requires disclosure of the
pre-tax profit or loss attributable to a disposal of an individually significant
component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations
presentation in the financial statements.
The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning
on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years.
F-11
In May 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09
"REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (TOPIC 606)" ("ASU 2014-09")
This guidance amends the existing FASB Accounting Standards Codification,
creating a new Topic 606, REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMER. The core
principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict
the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services.
To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:
1. Identify the contract(s) with the customer
2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract
3. Determine the transaction price
4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the
contract
5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance
obligations
The ASU also provides guidance on disclosures that should be provided to enable
financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and
uncertainty of revenue recognition and cash flows arising from contracts with
customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about the
following:
1. Contracts with customers - including revenue and impairments
recognized, disaggregation of revenue, and information about contract
balances and performance obligations (including the transaction price
allocated to the remaining performance obligations)
2. Significant judgments and changes in judgments - determining the
timing of satisfaction of performance obligations (over time or at a
point in time), and determining the transaction price and amounts
allocated to performance obligations
3. Assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.
ASU 2014-09 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016,
including interim reporting periods within that reporting period for all public
entities. Early application is not permitted.
In June 2014, the 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 amendments in this Update remove the definition of a development stage
entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification,
thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage
entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the
amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1)
present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows,
and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a
development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage
activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in
which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it
had been in the development stage.
The amendments also clarify that the guidance in Topic 275, Risks and
Uncertainties, is applicable to entities that have not commenced planned
principal operations.
Finally, the amendments remove paragraph 810-10-15-16. Paragraph 810-10-15-16
states that a development stage entity does not meet the condition in paragraph
810-10-15-14(a) to be a variable interest entity if (1) the entity can
demonstrate that the equity invested in the legal entity is sufficient to permit
it to finance the activities that it is currently engaged in and (2) the
entity's governing documents and contractual arrangements allow additional
equity investments.
The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to
development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether
an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment
equity that is at risk. The amendments to eliminate that exception simplify U.S.
GAAP by reducing avoidable complexity in existing accounting literature and
improve the relevance of information provided to financial statement users by
F-12
requiring the application of the same consolidation guidance by all reporting
entities. The elimination of the exception may change the consolidation
analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a reporting
entity that has an interest in an entity in the development stage.
The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and
the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied
retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be
applied prospectively. For public business entities, those amendments are
effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and
interim periods therein.
Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual
reporting period or interim period for which the entity's financial statements
have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for
issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or
disclose any information required by Topic 915.
In June 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12
"COMPENSATION--STOCK COMPENSATION (TOPIC 718) : ACCOUNTING FOR SHARE-BASED
PAYMENTS WHEN THE TERMS OF AN AWARD PROVIDE THAT A PERFORMANCE TARGET COULD BE
ACHIEVED AFTER THE REQUISITE SERVICE PERIOD" ("ASU 2014-12").
The amendments clarify the proper method of accounting for share-based payments
when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved
after the requisite service period. The Update requires that a performance
target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite
service period be treated as a performance condition. The performance target
should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award.
Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes
probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the
compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service
has already been rendered.
The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods and interim
periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier
adoption is permitted.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective
accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the
accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will
continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations,
realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business.
As reflected in the financial statements, the Company had a deficit at June 30,
2014, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the reporting
period from April 17, 2014 (inception) through June 30, 2014. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
The Company is attempting to commence operations and generate sufficient
revenue, however the Company's cash position may not be sufficient to support
the Company's daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by
way of a private or public offering. While the Company believes in the viability
of its strategy to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue and in
its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that
effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon the Company's ability to further implement its business plan and generate
sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public
or private offering.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
(i) IMPAIRMENT
The Company completed its annual impairment testing of property and equipment
and determined that there was no impairment as the fair value of property and
equipment, exceeded their carrying values at June 30, 2014.
F-13
(ii) DEPRECIATION EXPENSE
The Company acquired property and equipment on May 25, 2014 and started to
depreciate as of June 1, 2014. Depreciation expense was $11 for the reporting
period ended May 31, 2014.
NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
SHARES AUTHORIZED
Upon formation the total number of shares of all classes of stock which the
Company is authorized to issue is Seventy-Five Million (75,000,000) shares of
Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share.
COMMON STOCK
Upon formation the Company sold 5,000,000 shares of common stock to the officer
and director of the Company at $0.001 per share, or $5,000 in aggregate for
cash.
All shares were issued in accordance with the exemption from the registration
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 4(2)
of such Act for issuances not involving any public offering and Rule 506 of
Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAX PROVISION
DEFERRED TAX ASSETS
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had net operating loss ("NOL") carry-forwards
for Federal income tax purposes of $2,594 that may be available to reduce future
years' taxable income through 2034. No tax benefit has been recorded with
respect to these net operating loss carry-forwards in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements as the management of the Company believes that
the realization of the Company's net deferred tax assets of approximately $882
was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax
benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by the full valuation
allowance.
Deferred tax assets consist primarily of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards.
The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets
because of the uncertainty regarding its realization. The valuation allowance
increased approximately $882 for the period from April 17, 2014 (inception)
through June 30, 2014.

UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales of securities are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any Prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 383(b)
(ss.230.383(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of
1933 to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each Prospectus filed
pursuant to Rule 383(b) as part of a registration statement relating
to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule
430B or other than Prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall
be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as
of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however,
that no statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus that
is part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration
statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement
will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such
first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the
registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration
statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date
of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the
Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the
securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of
securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to
the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means
of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a
seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities
to such purchaser:
II-2
(i) Any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus of the undersigned registrant
relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 383;
(ii) Any free writing Prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on
behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the
undersigned registrant;
(iii)The portion of any other free writing Prospectus relating to the
offering containing material information about the undersigned
registrant or our securities provided by or on behalf of the
undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the
undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to our Directors, Officers and controlling
persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised
that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other
than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our Directors,
Officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding, is asserted by one of our Directors, Officers, or controlling
persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in
the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and
we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
