NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2017
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the presentation of interim financial information, but do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2016 financial statements that were filed in our annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2017.
NOTE 2- GOING CONCERN
The Companys unaudited interim financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit and no cash flows from operating activities at March 31, 2017. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Managements plans focus is on a variety of strategic acquisitions in service, agriculture and industrial companies to compliment and grow Astika Holdings, Inc.s business. The Company is positioning to capture the next wave of growth companies from Asia. As the centerpieces for Astika Holdings in Asia, the focus is on rapid economic growth and increased foreign investment sector companies which management believes is poised for accelerated economic growth with national modernization. Astikas planned focus is also on adding value through successful project development, efficient operations, and opportunistic acquisitions while maintaining a low risk profile through project diversification, astute financial management and operating in secure jurisdictions. Managements plan to obtain such resources for the Company include (i) obtaining capital from management and significant stockholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses; (ii) obtaining funding from outside sources through the sale of its debt and/or equity securities; and (iii) completing a merger with or acquisition of an existing operating company. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820) and ASC 825, Financial Instruments (ASC 825), requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
7
Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on "Level 1" inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE
During October 2014, the Company issued an 8.0% convertible debenture for $31,500 in cash. The convertible debenture accrues interest at 8.0% per annum, is unsecured, due in one year from the date of issuance and is convertible into shares of the Companys common stock after 180 days at the option of the holder at a rate equal to 55% of the lowest trading price of the Companys common stock out of the last 20 trading trades including the date of conversion. At March 31, 2017, the loan is in default at a default interest rate of 24%.
On March 21, 2017, the Company issued 572,476 common shares in the conversion of $2,000 principal and $834 in interest due to LG Capital Funding. LLC at $0.00495 per share, as calculated per the loan agreement.
The balance of the convertible debenture at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $22,500 and $24,500, respectively. The amount of accrued interest due at March 31, 2017 is $3,966, with $4,321 at December 31, 2016.
8
NOTE 5 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
The Company analyzed the conversion option embedded in the convertible debenture for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815 and determined that the embedded instrument should be classified as a liability and recorded at fair value due to the variable conversion prices. The fair value of the conversion options was determined to be $52,267 as of the issuance date using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Upon the date of issuance of the convertible debenture, $31,500 was recorded as debt discount and $20,767 was recorded as day one loss on derivative liability.
During March 2017, the holder of the convertible debenture elected to convert $2,000 in principal and $834 in interest due of the convertible debenture into 572,476 shares of the Companys common stock. As a result, $4,278 of derivative liability was extinguished through a charge to paid-in capital.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, $3,122 was recorded as a loss on mark-to-market of the conversion options.
The following table summarizes the derivative liability included in the balance sheet at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:
Balance, December 31, 2016 | $ | 23,347 |

Astika Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation, is refocusing and preparing to relaunch the Company through a variety of strategic acquisitions in the textile, service, agricultural, and industrial sectors to complement and capture the next wave of growth companies from Asia and New Zealand. The initial planned target acquisitions from the Nantong Region in China are private companies which have been in business for over a decade with consistent track records of delivering revenue and earnings growth in the textile and service sectors. The Company also has plans for agricultural Green Future initiatives into the Industrial Hemp sector and New Zealand Dairy sector. The Holdings would become the primary operations and management believes that focusing our efforts on the acquisition of textile, service, agricultural, and industrial companies would represent the greatest potential for shareholder return. Rapid economic growth and increased foreign investment sector companies poised for accelerated growth with national modernization are the planned centerpieces for Astika Holdings in Asia and New Zealand.
Plan of Operation
Astika Holdings planed focus is on a variety of strategic acquisitions in the textile, service, agriculture and industrial sectors to compliment and capture the next wave of growth companies from Asia and New Zealand. Astika plans on adding value through successful project development, efficient operations, and opportunistic acquisitions while maintaining a low risk profile through project diversification, astute financial management and operating in secure jurisdictions.

Management believes there will be rapid economic growth and an increase in foreign investment sector companies poised for accelerated growth with national modernization are planned centerpieces for Astika Holdings in Asia. The planned initial acquisitions from the Nantong Region, private companies, have all been in business for over a decade and have consistent track records of delivering revenue and earnings growth.
Astika's ongoing strategy through opportunistic high growth sector planned acquisitions include the dredging sector in the Nantong region of China and the Company's agriculture 'Green Future' planned initiatives into the Industrial Hemp sector. 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 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 the New Zealand Dairy Sector. There are large rural areas and dairy farmers eager to work with Mark Richards, the President of Astika, to potentially acquire and grow their operating dairy farms. The food service sector is intended to benefit the future of Astika's shareholders along with the Asian, New Zealand and World Markets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:
| As of March 31, 2017 |
| As of December 31, 2016 | ||

Cash | $ | - |

From January 13, 2011 (inception) through March 31, 2017, 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 of 2012.
The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
13
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Managements plans focus is on a variety of strategic acquisitions in service, agriculture and industrial companies to compliment and grow Astika Holdings, Inc.s business. The Company is positioning to capture the next wave of growth companies from Asia. As the centerpieces for Astika Holdings in Asia, the focus is on rapid economic growth and increased foreign investment sector companies which management believes is poised for accelerated economic growth with national modernization. Astikas planned focus is also on adding value through successful project development, efficient operations, and opportunistic acquisitions while maintaining a low risk profile through project diversification, astute financial management and operating in secure. to obtain such resources for the Company include (i) obtaining capital from management and significant stockholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses; (ii) obtaining funding from outside sources through the sale of its debt and/or equity securities; and (iii) completing a merger with or acquisition of an existing operating company. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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 zero cash flow from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to zero cash flow from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
The net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $0.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three month period ended March 31, 2017 was $0, and $0 during the three month period ended March 31, 2016.
Availability of Additional Funds
Based on our working capital deficit as of March 31, 2017 and zero revenues, we expect to need additional equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations during the next 12 months. We expect that our current cash on hand will not fund our operations through December 2017.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited interim 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 unaudited interim 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 unaudited interim 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 Companys deferred tax assets.

Material Commitments
There was no material commitment during the three months ended March 31, 2017 except as disclosed in note 8.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments require management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entitys ability to continue as a going concern and provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The standard applies to all entities and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted.
We have adopted any recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2017, we had no off balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Disclosure under this section is not required for a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. 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 Commissions 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 third 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 at March 31, 2017. 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 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 managements 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.
