Principal Business
 
Astika Holdings is focused on a variety of strategic acquisitions in service, agriculture and industrial companies to compliment and grow Astika Holdings, Inc.’s business. The Company is positioning to capture the next wave of growth companies from Asia. Astika Holdings is focused on the Nantong region of China and is positioning to negotiate with growth companies from the Nantong region. Nantong is known as a “Pearl of the River and Sea,” ideally situated near the mouth of the Yangtze river with a rich and diverse history dating back to the Chinese Han Dynasty. Inhabitants first lived in the region 5,000 years ago because of its abundant natural resources and access to the Yangtze river. Nantong has a national reputation of “the First Window on the Yangtze River” and is one of the China’s prized national tourist centers. As the centerpiece in the Yangtze Delta Economic Zone, Nantong has enjoyed rapid economic growth and increasing foreign investments. The city is listed on the China’s Top 100 Counties (county-level cities) for its strong economy. Nantong is one of China’s first fourteen coastal cities open to international trade. Nantong is poised for accelerated economic growth with new bridges over the Yangtze River connecting the Nantong region to the Shanghai metropolitan region. With the development of the Rudong Yangkou Harbor Nantong offers the only natural deep water harbor in central China’s coast with access to China’s largest markets. Nantong’s rich history of economic prosperity and growth converge with national modernization continue to make Nantong a major center for economic development in China. Astika Holdings intends to be a high growth company focused on adding value through successful project development, efficient operations, and opportunistic acquisitions while maintaining a low risk profile through project diversification, astute financial management and operating in secure jurisdictions.  The Company intends to expand outside of its USA regional market to pursue a vertical integration strategy through the acquisition of service, agriculture and industrial companies to compliment and grow Astika Holdings, Inc.’s business. The business model of combining our global industrial relationships in Asia with Astika Holdings would become the primary operations. As a result, management believes that focusing our efforts on the acquisition of service, agriculture and industrial companies would represent the greatest potential for shareholder return.  We appreciate the support previous management has given us during the initial stages and are excited to lead the Company and its shareholders into the future.

Overview
 
Astika Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation, is focused on a variety of strategic acquisitions in service, agriculture and industrial companies to compliment and grow Astika Holdings, Inc.’s business. The Company is positioning to capture the next wave of growth companies from Asia. As the centerpieces for Astika Holdings in Asia, the focus is on rapid economic growth and increased foreign investment sector companies which are poised for accelerated economic growth with national modernization. Astika is also focused on adding value through successful project development, efficient operations, and opportunistic acquisitions while maintaining a low risk profile through project diversification, astute financial management and operating in secure.

Plan of Operation
 
Astika Holdings’ planned focus is on a variety of strategic acquisitions in the service, agriculture and industrial sectors to compliment and capture the next wave of growth companies from Asia and New Zealand. Astika plans on adding value through successful project development, efficient operations, and opportunistic acquisitions while maintaining a low risk profile through project diversification, astute financial management and operating in secure jurisdictions. Rapid economic growth and increased foreign investment sector companies poised for accelerated growth with national modernization are planned centrepieces for Astika Holdings in Asia. The planned initial acquisitions from the Nantong Region, private companies, have all been in business for over a decade and have consistent track records of delivering revenue and earnings growth. Additionally, Astika qualifies as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, which became law in April 2012.

Astika's ongoing strategy through opportunistic high growth sector planned acquisitions include: (1) Nantong Dredging Machinery CO., LTD., in the dredging sector (2) the Company's agriculture 'Green Future' planned initiatives into the Industrial Hemp sector (the launch of Nantong HZ Hemp Co. Ltd is intended to be utilized for Industrial Hemp and related projects. As global demand for hemp is increasing, the Company's existing relationships with China coupled with New Zealand infrastructure for seed production and food processing along with New Zealand's temperate climate and ideal soils offers Astika a position to capture the added value and economic benefits that this opportunity presents.

Astika's planned entrance into the Industrial Hemp sector is in conjunction with Astika's commitment to acquisitions and development of agriculture in Asia and New Zealand with (3) the Nantong Grain Seeder of High Accuracy, the modernization of agriculture for farmers and increased profit potential has our initial focus on the Nantong Grain Seeder of High Accuracy which meets the requirement of agriculture modernization in China. There are large rural areas and management believes that farmers are eager to utilize a multi-functional grain seeder to improve yield in seeding rice, oilseed rape, corn, beans and wheat to supply the growing Asia and world markets. Additionally, the Nantong seeder performs a multi-function agriculture process which reduces the utilization of tractors, lowers the associated costs, increases the yield and uses less fertilization. Nantong's Grain Seeder of High Accuracy also decreases pollution and protects the environment.) and (4) Astika's planned entrance into negotiations with Nantong Poultry Farming Co. Ltd., in the food service sector intend to benefit the future of Astika's shareholders along with the Asian, New Zealand and World Markets.

Under the contemplated transactions for the acquisition of service, agriculture and industrial companies to compliment and grow Astika Holdings, Inc.’s business, the Company intends to deliver common shares to achieve the contemplated transactions. The Company has begun the process of integrating management and moving its headquarters to Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant estimates and assumptions include amortization, the fair value of our stock, and the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets.
 
We qualify as an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, which became law in April, 2012.  Under the JOBS Act, “emerging growth companies”, can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
Reference is made to the “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for information related to new accounting pronouncements, none of which had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of December 31, 2013, we had no off balance sheet arrangements.
 
Material Commitments
 
There were no material commitments for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
Purchase of Furniture and Equipment
 
There were no purchases of computers and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any 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 that are material to investors.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
 
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We have no cash equivalents.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 

 


 
Inventories
 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, and include finished goods.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements’ and No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectibility of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
 
Product sales and shipping revenues, net of promotional discounts, rebates, and return allowances, are recorded when the products are shipped and title passes to customers. Retail sales to customers are made pursuant to a sales contract that provides for transfer of both title and risk of loss upon our delivery to the carrier. Return allowances, which reduce product revenue, are estimated using historical experience. Revenue from product sales and services rendered is recorded net of sales taxes. Amounts received in advance for subscription services, are deferred and recognized as revenue over the subscription term.
 
Share Based Payments

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. Under SFAS No. 123(R), companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees or independent contractors are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, or “SAB 107”. SAB 107 expresses views of the staff regarding the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides the staff's views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods. On April 14, 2005, the SEC adopted a new rule amending the compliance dates for SFAS 123(R). Companies may elect to apply this statement either prospectively, or on a modified version of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods under SFAS 123.

The Company has fully adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and related interpretations as provided by SAB 107. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant as the fair value of the share-based payments. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the share-based payments.

 Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
We compute earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.  There were no potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
 
Income Taxes
 
We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement 109”).  Under the asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
We consider that the carrying amount of financial instruments, including accounts payable, approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
We have adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements.  The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are not subject to risks related to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.  Our functional currency is the United States dollar. We do not transact our business in other currencies. As a result, we are not subject to exposure from movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Astika Holdings, Inc.
Boca Raton, Florida

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Astika Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of expenses, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an 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 audits 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 Astika Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended 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 suffered continued losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Astika Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”), is a music publishing company, which owns and acquires rights to musical compositions, exploits and markets these compositions and receive royalties or fees for their use from domestic and international sources.  Our music catalog includes the composer/arranger rights in four musical compositions included in the 1981 Hollywood movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark.   We also have a copyrighted recorded music compilation consisting of seven musical compositions written by EuGene Gant, one of our exclusive songwriters, entitled, “Eugenius SOL Presents:  Green and Healthy”, which is available for sale on the Internet website www.alephmusic.com.  In total, we own rights in 31 musical compositions.  Both Astika Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Astika Music Entertainment, Inc. were incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on January 13, 2011. Our fiscal year end is December 31.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its sole subsidiary. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.  

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary which had no operations for the year. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated for this joint venture.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates

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

Impairment on Long-Lived Assets and Other Acquired Intangible Assets
 
We evaluate the recoverability of property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of property and equipment and intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value.
 
In addition to the recoverability assessment, we routinely review the remaining estimated useful lives of property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets. If we reduce the estimated useful life assumption for any asset, the remaining unamortized balance would be amortized or depreciated over the revised estimated useful life.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of five years.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization.  Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of twelve years.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when:
 
       
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
 
   
Delivery has occurred;
 
   
Price is fixed or determinable; and
 
   
Collectability of the related receivable is reasonably assured.

The Company closely follows the provisions of ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”, which includes the guidelines of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 as described above.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.  There were no potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.  On a periodic basis, we evaluate our accounts receivable and adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts based on our history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions.  Specific customer accounts are written off as uncollectible if the probability of a future loss has been established, collection efforts have been exhausted and payment is not expected to be received.  As of December 31, 2013, no allowance for bad debts was required.

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize compensation cost for stock-based awards issued after March 1, 2006, over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche, as if multiple awards were granted. Compensation cost is based on grant-date fair value using quoted market prices for our common stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes as outlined in ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company considers that the carrying amount of financial instruments, including accounts payable, approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company has adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements.  The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred reoccurring losses from inception of $123,674.  These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4 - EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had 11,077,750 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
 
Stock Issued for Cash

  On February 7, 2012, the Company issued 1,840,000 shares of common stock to an investor for cash in the amount of $5,000.

From September 2012 until November 2012, the Company offered and sold 10,610 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to 32 persons in a public offering for a purchase price of $10 per share.  The public offering provided proceeds to the Company in the amount of $106,100.
 
Stock Issued for Services

On March 31, 2012, the Company issued 120,000 shares of common stock to two directors for services rendered at a value of $360.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible at any time at the option of the holder into 275 common shares. The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will have 275 voting rights for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held of record. The Company offered and sold 10,610 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to 32 persons in a public offering, and all of such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have been converted into 2,917,750 shares of Common Stock of the Company. The public offering provided proceeds to the Company in the amount of $106,100.

NOTE 5 - LOAN TRANSACTION

The Company purchased a recorded music compilation from EuGene Gant for a purchase price of $5,000 pursuant to a Bill of Sale and Assignment dated June 15, 2012, an Exclusive Songwriter Agreement dated June 15, 2012, and a Promissory Note that the Company concurrently executed and delivered to him on the same date. The Company made a payment to Mr. Gant in the amount of $1,000 on June 15, 2012 and $2,000 on October 1, 2012, and $1,000 on June 15, 2013, and the remaining $1,000 principal amount under Promissory Note bears interest at five percent (5%) per annum, and there is one remaining principal installment payment in the amount of $1,000 due. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Promissory Note is also due in the amount of $79 as of December 31, 2013, and $83 as of December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2013, total outstanding short-term debt is $1,162, and $2,083 as of December 31, 2012.

NOTE 6 – MATERIAL CONTRACTS

On June 15, 2012, the Company entered into a songwriter agreement with EuGene Gant, a songwriter, which provides for Mr. Gant’s employment as a staff writer on an exclusive basis to write musical compositions as works for hire for a period of two years from the date of the agreement. This agreement expires on June 15, 2014. The exclusive songwriter agreement with Eugene B. Settler dated June 16, 2012, provides for Mr. Settler’s employment as a staff writer on an exclusive basis to write musical compositions as works for hire for a period of five years from the date of the agreement. This agreement expires on June 16, 2017.  During Mr. Gant’s and Mr. Settler’s tenure as songwriters for the Company, the copyrights on their entire work product will belong to the Company, in exchange for our assistance in exploiting and marketing these compositions and the payment of a writer’s fee to them ranging from 10% to 50% of the net amounts that we collect on these musical compositions. The Company is entitled to the royalties for a period 50 years from the date of the creation of any work for hire pursuant to such agreements. After the expiration of such 50-year period, the copyright on a musical composition reverts to the songwriter or his heirs or assigns.
 
NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes”.  ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.

ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:

Item 9.  Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Treasurer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and financial officer and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
 
 
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
 
 
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.  In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  The COSO framework is based upon five integrated components of control: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communications and ongoing monitoring.
 
   
Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of December 31, 2012 (the “Evaluation Date”), to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.   Each of the following is deemed a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:
 
 
 

 
 
- 20 -

 

 

   
We do not have an audit committee.  While we are not currently obligated to have an audit committee, including a member who is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K, under applicable regulations or listing standards; however, it is management’s view that such a committee is an important internal control over financial reporting, the lack of which may result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of internal controls and procedures.

   
We did not maintain proper segregation of duties for the preparation of our financial statements.  We currently have only one officer overseeing all transactions.  This has resulted in several deficiencies, including the lack of control over preparation of financial statements and proper application of accounting policies.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in the two items above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

Management's Remediation Initiatives
 
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we plan to initiate the following series of measures once we have the financial resources to do so:

   
We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. And, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee, which will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.
 
   
Management believes that the appointment of outside directors to a fully functioning audit committee, would remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

The following describes the business experience of each of our directors and executive officers, including other directorships held in public reporting companies, if any:

Set forth below is the biographical information about the director and executive officers:

Mark W. Richards – President, Treasurer and Director

Mark W. Richards is a Registered Chartered Accountant in Public Practice and has practiced in such capacity since July 31, 1991. His history of chartered accountancy begins at Cox Arcus & Co., July 1991 to July 2001, Symmetry Accounting Limited, July 2001 to March 2009, Cleaver Richards Limited, March 2009 to February 2011, Causeway Accounting Limited, March 2011 onward. In January 2008, Mr Richards began acting for JDC Group of Nantong. On March 1, 2011, Mr. Richards formed IQ Acquisition (NY) Ltd., a consulting firm based practice in Auckland, New Zealand, to attend to the strategic management of clients and their businesses and assisting clients from overseas business ventures with the management of both the businesses and taxation structures to meet the requirements within New Zealand, the United States of America, Australia, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Brunei, and the United Kingdom.  Mr. Richards is a director for over 40 privately held companies and provides management and consulting services to assist with the growth and financial requirements of those companies. In January 2008, Mr. Richards began acting for JDC Group of Nantong an entity responsible for the exportation of commodities for sale in China.  Since November 2006, Mr. Richards has acted as a consultant for Chemsafe Group to assist in the development and strategic roll- out of SCR based products in New Zealand, Australia and Asia.  Mr. Richards is also the director for Tribeca Homes, a property development advisory business in New Zealand. During February 2010, he assisted in development of GSBI Thailand marketing of Own Brand Products in Supermarkets, a strategic brand marketing company in Thailand, to provide advice on brands to large corporations in Thailand. Mr. Richards has also acted as a consultant assisting companies in oil recovery, transportation, vehicle sales, product design and marketing, and fashion industries.  We believe that Mr. Richard’s qualifications and his extensive business experience provide a unique perspective for our board.

Ralph Willmott – Secretary and Director

Mr. Willmott originally of Great Britain, brings with him a wide range of knowledge having experience with some major corporates earlier in his career, including Raab Karcher, the German manufacturer of construction products, Europe’s leading holiday complexes, Center Parcs and the Italian engineering manufacture Cefla.  An experienced businessman, that over the past fifteen years has gained considerable knowledge of doing business in Asia and has been involved with numerous companies in China covering imports into China and exports from China, sectors of activity includes construction products such as plasterboard/masonry/steel, reinforcing/steel, framing/cladding, joinery products, such as hardware and timber, textiles and clothing, including bedding and ladies fashion, foodstuffs, such as wet/frozen/live fish for Chinese markets and restaurants and industrial chemicals, both new and surplus. Having spent considerable periods of time in China, it is considered that the experience and contacts that Mr. Willmott brings with him is of great value to this business expansion.

Term of Office
 
All of our directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders or until their successors are elected and qualified. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until their earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal.

Board Composition and Committees

The Company’s Board of Directors is currently composed of two members, Mark W. Richards and Ralph Willmott.

We do not have a standing nominating, compensation or audit committee.  Rather, our full board of directors performs the functions of these committees. Also, we do not have a “audit committee financial expert” on our board of directors as that term is defined by Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We do not believe it is necessary for our board of directors to appoint such committees because the volume of matters that come before our board of directors for consideration permits the directors to give sufficient time and attention to such matters to be involved in all decision making.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
 
None of our directors, executive officers or control persons has been involved in any of the events prescribed by Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K during the past ten years, including:
 
1.  
any petition under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which he or she was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he or she was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing;

2.

3.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of our shares of common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.   Officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) stockholders are required by regulations promulgated by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.  With reference to transactions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, to our knowledge, all Section 16(a) forms required to be filed with the SEC were filed.

Item 11.   Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
Philosophy and objectives
 
Since our inception, all compensation decisions have been made by our Board of Directors.  The primary objective of our compensation policies and programs with respect to executive compensation is to serve our shareholders by attracting, retaining and motivating talented and qualified individuals to manage and lead our business. We will focus on providing a competitive compensation package that provides significant short and long-term incentives for the achievement of measurable corporate and individual performance objectives.
 
Elements of executive compensation
 
Base salary.  We will seek to provide our senior management with a level of base salary in the form of cash compensation appropriate to their roles and responsibilities.  Base salaries for our executives will be established based on the executive’s qualifications, experience, scope of responsibilities, future potential and past performance and cash available to pay executive compensation. Base salaries will be reviewed annually and adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account an individual's responsibilities, performance and experience. We will consider four factors in determining the base salaries of our named executive officers. These four factors are, in order of significance, (1) creating an incentive to achieve corporate goals, (2) individual performance, (3) cash available to pay compensation and (4) the total compensation each executive officer previously received while employed with us, if any.  We have not paid any executive compensation in the form of base salary to our management during the year ended December 31, 2012 or the period January 13, 2011, our inception, through December 31, 2011.
 
Incentive cash bonuses.  Our practice will be to seek to award incentive cash bonuses to our executive officers based upon their individual performance, as well as our overall business and strategic objectives. In determining the amount of cash bonuses paid to our named executive officers, we will consider the same four factors as in determining their base salaries. We expect that our Board of Directors will adopt formal processes for incentive cash bonuses during the next 24 months and will utilize incentive cash bonuses to reward executives for achieving corporate financial and operational goals and for achieving individual performance objectives.  To date, we have not paid any incentive cash bonuses to our management.
 
Long-term equity compensation.  We believe that successful long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that encourages long-term performance by our executive officers through the use of stock and stock-based awards. We intend to establish equity incentive plans to provide our employees, including our executive officers, with incentives to help align those employees’ interests with the interests of our shareholders. We expect that our incentive plans will permit the grant of stock options, restricted shares and other stock awards to our executive officers, employees, consultants and non-employee board members. When we hire executive officers in the future, we expect to grant them stock-based awards that will generally vest over a five-year period. We believe that stock-based awards provide an incentive for these officers to continue their employment with us, provide our executive
 
 

 
 
- 25 -




officers with an opportunity to obtain an ownership interest in our company and encourage them to focus on our long-term profitable growth. We believe that the use of long-term equity compensation will promote our overall executive compensation objectives and expect that equity incentives will be an important source of compensation for our executives.  In determining amounts awarded to our executive officers under our incentive plans, we will consider the same four factors (and use the same method of measurement) as in determining base salary. The third factor (cash available) has an indirect effect when determining long-term equity compensation. Specifically, to the extent that this factor causes us not to pay base salary or cash bonuses, it points toward providing long-term equity compensation.  We have not issued any long-term equity compensation to our management during the year ended December 31, 2013 or the period January 13, 2011, our inception, through December 31, 2012.
 
Other compensation.  When we hire executive officers, our executive officers will be eligible to receive the same benefits, including non-cash group life and health benefits that are available to all employees. We may offer a 401(k) plan to our employees, including our executive officers. This plan will permit employees to make contributions up to a statutory maximum and will permit us to make matching or profit-sharing contributions. To date, we have not offered to our employees any benefit plans, including but not limited a 401(k) plan or made, or committed to make, any matching or profit-sharing contributions under a 401(k) plan.
 
Policies related to compensation
 
Guidelines for equity awards.  We have not formalized a policy as to the amount or timing of equity grants to our executive officers. We expect, however, that our board of directors will approve and adopt guidelines for equity awards.  Among other things, we expect that the guidelines will specify procedures for equity awards to be made under various circumstances, address the timing of equity awards in relation to the availability of information about us and provide procedures for grant information to be communicated to and tracked by our finance department.  As of the date of this report, we have not established a finance department.  We anticipate that the guidelines will require that any stock options or stock appreciation rights have an exercise or strike price not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant.
 
Stock ownership guidelines.  As of the date of this report, we have not established stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers or the Board of Directors.
 
Compliance with Sections 162(m) and 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
 
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executive officers, unless such compensation qualifies as performance-based compensation. Among other things, in order to be deemed performance-based compensation for Section 162(m) purposes, the compensation must be based on the achievement of pre-established, objective performance criteria and must be pursuant to a plan that has been approved by our shareholders. At least for the next several years, we expect the cash compensation paid to our executive officers to be below the threshold for non-deductibility provided in Section 162(m), and our equity incentive plans will afford our board of directors with the flexibility to make a variety of types of equity awards to our executive officers, the deductibility of which will not be limited under Section 162(m).  However, our board of directors will fashion our future equity compensation awards.  However, we do not now know whether any such awards will satisfy the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m).
 
We also currently intend for our executive compensation program to satisfy the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, which addresses the tax treatment of certain nonqualified deferred compensation benefits.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

No nonqualified deferred compensation was offered or issued to any named executive officer during the period from January 13, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2012 or the year ended December 31, 2013.

Equity Incentive Plan

We expect to adopt an equity incentive plan. The purposes of the plan are to attract and retain qualified persons upon whom our sustained progress, growth and profitability depend, to motivate these persons to achieve long-term company goals and to more closely align these persons' interests with those of our other shareholders by providing them with a proprietary interest in our growth and performance. Our executive officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors will be eligible to participate in the plan.  We have not determined the amount of shares of our common stock to be reserved for issuance under the proposed equity incentive plan.

Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

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

Transactions With Related Persons, Promoters And Certain Control Persons
 
There are no transactions involving the Company and any of its officers, directors, majority shareholders or other related persons or control persons that require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(d) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.404(d)).  We do not have an established policy regarding related transactions.
 
Director Independence

We do not have a standing nominating, compensation or audit committee. Rather, the board of directors performs the functions of these committees. We do not believe it is necessary for the board of directors to appoint such committees, because the volume of matters that come before the board of directors for consideration is not so substantial that our directors are usually allowed sufficient time and attention to such matters.  The Company believes that Stephen J. Ratelle is “independent” as such term is defined by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.
