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 30 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.

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 note bears interest at five percent (5%) per annum and the maturity date was extended from June 15, 2013 to December 31, 2013. A $1,000 payment was made on the note during the six months ended June 30, 2013. There is accrued interest on the Promissory Note in the amount of $134 as of June 30, 2013.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing in this report and are hereby referenced. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this report. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, our management disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations and beliefs and involve numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. You should not rely upon these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events because we cannot assure you that the events or circumstances reflected in these statements will be achieved or will occur. You can identify a forward-looking statement by the use of the forward-terminology, including words such as “may”, “will”, “believes”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “expects”, “continues”, “should”, “seeks”, “intends”, “plans”, and/or words of similar import, or the negative of these words and phrases or other variations of these words and phrases or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things: our sales, results of operations and anticipated cash flows; capital expenditures; depreciation and amortization expenses; sales, general and administrative expenses; our ability to maintain and develop relationship with our existing and potential future customers; and, our ability to maintain a level of investment that is required to remain competitive. Many factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: variability of our revenues and financial performance; risks associated with technological changes; the acceptance of our products in the marketplace by existing and potential customers; disruption of operations or increases in expenses due to our involvement with litigation or caused by civil or political unrest or other catastrophic events; general economic conditions, government mandates; and, the continued employment of our key personnel and other risks associated with competition.
Overview
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Astika Music Entertainment, Inc., engages in the music publishing business. We own and acquire rights to musical compositions, exploit and market these compositions and receive royalties or fees for their use from domestic and international sources. Our primary activities through the date of this report have been related to the acquisition and administration of musical compositions, including the composer and arranger rights to four musical compositions from the 1981 Hollywood movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, which we acquired at no cost from Mr. Settler on January 25, 2011, the engagement of two persons to write musical compositions as works for hire for us on an exclusive basis and completing our public offering in Fall 2012. The composer/arranger rights to our Raiders of the Lost Ark musical compositions are also co-owned by Veronica C. Gamba, who is entitled to share equally in any performance royalties collected by BMI and, consequently, the approval of Ms. Gamba, or her assignees, is required for any additional royalty or fee arrangements with prospective licensees involving these compositions. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to obtain any such approval from Ms. Gamba, or any of her assignees.

Results of Operations for the Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to the Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2012
Revenues. Revenues consisted of performance royalties from our music catalog. The Company’s revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 were $374 as compared to $669 for the three month period ended June 30, 2012, and the decrease was due to a decrease in performance royalty payments from Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI) on the composer and arranger rights to musical compositions in our catalog.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 were $21,153 as compared to $3,104 for the three month period ended June 30, 2012. General and administrative expenses increased due to expenses relating to being a public reporting company, including professional service fees for preparing our SEC reports, transfer agent fees and blue sky filing fees and fees and expenses relating to the Company’s public offering. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of corporate support expenses, such as legal, accounting, and financial printing relating to our SEC filings.
Results of Operations for the Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to the Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2012
Revenues. Revenues consisted of performance royalties from our music catalog. The Company’s revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 were $1,052 as compared to $1,495 for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, and the decrease was due to a decrease in performance royalty payments from Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI) on the composer and arranger rights to musical compositions in our catalog.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 were $46,691 as compared to $5,570 for the six month period ended June 30, 2012. General and administrative expenses increased due to expenses relating to being a public reporting company, including professional service fees for preparing our SEC reports, transfer agent fees and blue sky filing fees and fees and expenses relating to the Company’s public offering. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of corporate support expenses, such as legal, accounting, and financial printing relating to our SEC filings.

From January 13, 2011 (inception) through June 30, 2013, we raised a total of $123,500 from the issuance of common stock and the conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock. We have not raised any additional capital since the completion of our public offering in Fall 2012.
Impact of Inflation
We believe that the rate of inflation has had negligible effect on our operations. We believe we can absorb most, if not all, increased non-controlled operating costs by increasing sales prices, whenever deemed necessary and by operating our Company in the most efficient manner possible.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
We experienced negative cash flow from operating activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 in the amount of $53,694 as compared to negative cash flow from operating activities in the amount of $877 during the six month period ended June 30, 2012. The cash used in operating activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2013, was due to cash used to fund a net loss of $45,919, adjusted for non-cash expenses related to amortization of intangible assets, depreciation on equipment, and accrued interest, as well as the decrease in accounts payable for legal and accounting services.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
The cash used in investing activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 was $589 for music equipment as compared to purchases for office equipment in the amount of $2,798 during the six month period ended June 30, 2012.
Net Cash Provided by and Used In Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 was $1,000 for loan principal repayment as compared to cash provided from debt and equity financing activities in the amount of $9,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2012.
Availability of Additional Funds
Based on our working capital as of June 30, 2013 and revenues, we do not expect to need additional equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations during the next 12 months. We expect that our current cash on hand will fund our operations through June 2014. See “Description of Business”.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant estimates and assumptions include amortization, the fair value of our stock, and the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets.
We qualify as an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, which became law in April, 2012. Under the JOBS Act, “emerging growth companies”, can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Material Commitments
There were no material commitments during the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2013.
Purchase of Furniture and Equipment
We purchased musical equipment in the amount of $589 during the six month period ended June 30, 2013.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2013, we had no off balance sheet arrangements.
Disclosure under this section is not required for a smaller reporting company.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Treasurer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of our fourth fiscal quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our President and Treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management of 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2013 (the “Evaluation Date”), to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Each of the following is deemed a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:
|
●
|
We do not have an audit committee. While we are not currently obligated to have an audit committee, including a member who is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K, under applicable regulations or listing standards; however, it is management’s view that such a committee is an important internal control over financial reporting, the lack of which may result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of internal controls and procedures.
|
|
●
|
We did not maintain proper segregation of duties for the preparation of our financial statements. We currently have only one officer overseeing all transactions. This has resulted in several deficiencies, including the lack of control over preparation of financial statements and proper application of accounting.
|
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in the two items above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Management's Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we plan to initiate the following series of measures once we have the financial resources to do so:
|
●
|
We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. And, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee, which will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.
|
|
●
|
Management believes that the appointment of outside directors to a fully functioning audit committee, would remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee.

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