1.ORGANIZATION

Castle Holding Corp. (“CHOD”) is a holding company which was incorporated in Nevada on June 13, 1986. The subsidiaries of CHOD are as follows:

	1.	Castle Royalties Corp. (incorporated in New York April 11, 1991) – name changed from Church Street Securities Corp. on March 16, 2015; assignee of License Agreement with Emergent Health Corporation effective March 16, 2015 (see Note 5).

	2.	SAS Health and Beauty Corp. (incorporated in New York May 27, 1994) – name changed from Wall Street Indians, Ltd. on March 31, 2015; manufactures and markets a skin care product (commencing July 2015) and vitamin supplements (commencing November 2016).

	3.	The Unlisted Stock Market Corporation (incorporated in New York December 9, 1999) – no operations from inception.

	4.	Shark Venture Capital Inc. (incorporated in Nevada December 22, 2014) – plans to engage in venture capital activities.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim financial statements – The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending September 30, 2017. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes related thereto for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Principles of consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CHOD and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates – The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents ‑ The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Marketable securities ‑ Marketable securities consist of trading securities valued at market. All fair value measurements are based on Level 1 inputs (i.e., closing trading prices of respective marketable securities). Unrealized gains and losses are reflected in income ($310,629 and ($47,850) for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively).

Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016

(Unaudited and Unreviewed)

Inventory – Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first–in, first–out method) or market (net realizable value). At March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, substantially all inventory are finished goods available for sale.

Revenue recognition – Revenues are recognized upon delivery of the products, at which time title passes to the customer, provided that: there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is deemed probable.

Income taxes – Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. 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 and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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.

Net income (loss) per common share – Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive convertible preferred shares outstanding.

Recent accounting pronouncements – Certain accounting pronouncements have been issued by the FASB and other standard setting organizations which are not yet effective and therefore have not yet been adopted by the Company. The impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations from adoption of these standards is not expected to be material.

3. MARKETABLE SECURITIES, AT MARKET VALUE

4. INVESTMENT IN EMERGENT HEALTH CORPORATION COMMON STOCK

On November 20. 2014, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement involving a change in control of CHOD, CHOD acquired 2,000,000 restricted shares of Emergent Health Corporation (“EMGE”) common stock in exchange for the issuance of 2,000,000 restricted shares of CHOD common stock. The EMGE investment was initially valued at an estimated fair value of $250,000. The closing trading price of EMGE free trading common stock at November 20, 2014 was $0.49 per share.

At September 30, 2015, the Company recognized an impairment loss on the investment in EMGE common stock of $90,000 and reduced the carrying value from $250,000 to $160,000. At December 31, 2015, the Company recognized an additional impairment loss on the investment in EMGE common stock of $40,000 and reduced the carrying value from $160,000 to $120,000. At March 31, 2016, the Company recognized an additional impairment loss on the investment in EMGE common stock of $40,000 and reduced the carrying value from $120,000 to $80,000. At September 30, 2016, the Company recognized an additional impairment loss on the investment in EMGE common stock of $20,000 and reduced the carrying value from $80,000 to $60,000. At March 31, 2017, the Company recognized an additional impairment loss on the investment in EMGE common stock of $20,000 and reduced the carrying value from $60,000 to $40,000. The closing trading price of EMGE free trading common stock at September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2017 was $0.0326 per share and $0.02 per share, respectively.

5. LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH EMERGENT HEALTH CORPORATION

On November 20, 2014, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement involving a change in control of CHOD, CHOD was assigned effective January 1, 2015 the License Agreement between Cappello’s, Inc, (Licensor) and EMGE (Licensee) dated August 26, 2014 (the “EMGE License Agreement”) in exchange for the issuance of 2,000,000 restricted shares of CHC common stock. The EMGE License Agreement was valued at its estimated fair value of $30,000 based upon 2014 royalties.

The EMGE License Agreement provided for Licensee’s payment of quarterly royalty payments to Licensor equal to 5% of the first $1,000,000 of annual net sales of the Licensed Products, 4% of the next $1,000,000 of annual net sales, 3% of the next $1,000,000 of annual net sales, 2% of the next $2,000,000 of annual net sales, and 1% of all additional annual net sales. The term of the EMGE License Agreement was to expire upon the expiration of the last to expire of the Patent Rights. In the event the Base Sales of any one or more of the Licensed Products did not increase by 15% per year over each prior calendar year (“Underperforming Licensed Products”) and the Licensee did not pay royalties based on 15% annual increases in Base Sales for the Underperforming Licensed Product(s), Licensor could terminate the license for such Underperforming Licensed Product(s) or convert the license from an exclusive license to a non-exclusive license for such Underperforming Licensed Product(s). During the term, Licensor was to keep Licensee informed of the progress of the Patent Rights in the U.S. Patent Office and was to direct and control all aspects of the prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights using patent counsel of its choice; Licensee was to pay all reasonable costs and fees attributable to the Patent Rights including patent maintenance fees, government fees and attorney fees.

On June 17, 2015, pursuant to a Swenson-Emergent Loan and Security Agreement, the Company consented to EMGE’s grant of a security interest in the License Agreement to a lender.

Based on the calendar year 2015 sales of the licensed products reported to CHOD by EMGE, the Company was entitled to royalties of $18,528. However, the Company collected royalties of only $572 from EMGE in 2015. Due to the uncertainty of future collections from EMGE, the Company has not recognized the remaining $17,956 royalties due at December 31, 2015.

The Company plans to pursue the manufacturing and marketing of the Licensed Products through its subsidiary SAS Health and Beauty Corp.

In November 2016, the Company collected $1,500 of current royalties from EMGE.

The Company’s effective tax rate differed from the United States Federal income tax rate for the following reasons:

Change in valuation allowance		13,569			(9,125	)

Provision for income taxes	$	-		$	-

Based on management's present assessment, the Company has not yet determined it to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset of $405,884 attributable to the future utilization of $1,142,747 of prior year net operating loss carryforwards and $51,030 of capital loss carryforwards will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has maintained a 100% allowance against the deferred tax asset in the financial statements at March 31, 2017. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate. The net operating loss carryforwards expire as follows: $180,132 in year 2021, $694,345 in year 2022, $135,943 in year 2023, $66,021 in year 2024, $39,208 in year 2025, and $27,098 in year 2036. The capital loss carryforward of $51,030 expires $49,175 in year 2018 and $1,855 in year 2021.

Current United States income tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Castle Holding Corp. (“CHOD”) is a holding company which was incorporated in Nevada on June 13, 1986. On September 30, 1987, CHOD acquired Castle Securities Corp., a New York corporation which operated as a securities broker dealer from November 1, 1985 to October 31, 2003. On April 11, 1991, CHOD formed Church Street Securities Corp., a New York corporation which operated as a securities broker dealer from October 26, 1995 to January 6, 2005. From January 2005 to June 2015, CHOD and its subsidiaries had minimal business operations and operating revenues.

Commencing July 2015, CHOD’s subsidiary SAS Health and Beauty Corp. (“SAS”) has engaged in the production and sales of a skin care product called “SAS Flower of Youth Facial Lift Spray.” In November 2016, SAS also started marketing two vitamin supplement products called “JDI MultiVitamin/MultiMineral with NeuStem” and “NeuStem”.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Three Months ended March 31, 2017 compared to Three Months ended March 31, 2016.

Sales increased $16,971 from $2,474 in 2016 to $19,445 in 2017. The increase in sales was due to the introduction of our new vitamin supplement products in late 2016.

Cost of sales increased $2,800 from $86 in 2016 to $2,886 in 2017.

Gross profit increased $14,171 from $2,388 in 2016 to $16,559 in 2017 due to increased sales as a result of the introduction of the new products discussed above. The gross profit percentage of sales in 2017 was approximately 85%.

Other expense – net increased $18,319 from $3,070 in 2016 to $21,389 in 2017. The increase was due primarily to the $38,244 negative comparison in net gain (loss) on marketable securities from a gain of $36,930 in 2016 to a loss of $1,314 in 2017, offset by a $20,000 decrease in impairment expense of our investment in Emergent Health Corporation common stock.

Net loss increased $8,116 from $5,689 in 2016 to $13,805 in 2017. The increase was due to the $3,968 increase in operating expenses and the $18,319 increase in other expense-net, offset partially by the $14,171 increase in gross profit.

Other expense – net increased $33,566 from $24,228 in 2016 to $57,794 in 2017.
