PART I


ITEM 1. BUSINESS


Description of Business  


We were incorporated on November 2, 2006, under the laws of the State of Nevada. We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. We acquired a 100% undivided interest in a mineral claim known as McVicar Lode Mining Claim (the “McVicar Claim”) comprised of one located claim of 20 acres located in the Yellow Pine Mining District, Clark County, Nevada. Our plan of operation is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the McVicar Claim in order to assess whether it possesses mineral deposits of lead, zinc, copper, silver or gold capable of commercial extraction. Although the Yellow Pine Mining District is less famous than many of the other mining districts of the Great Basin, it nevertheless ranks second only to Tonopah in total Nevada lead and zinc production. During World War I, this district was one of the most productive in the West, but by the end of World War II, only a few mines remained in operation.


We entered into a purchase agreement dated December 22, 2006 with Kimberly Sinclair pursuant to which we acquired a 100% interest in the McVicar Claim for cash consideration of $6,000. Collin Sinclair, our former President, Secretary, Treasurer and sole Director is not related to Kimberly Sinclair. The McVicar Claim property is comprised of a single located mineral claim with a total area of approximately 20 acres, located on the Yellow Pine Mining District, Clark County, Nevada. The McVicar Claim is located within Sections 11, 12, 13 and 14, Range 57E, Township 25S, at the easternmost portion of the Yellow Pine Mining District of Clark County, Nevada.


In addition to Nevada state regulations, federal regulations require a yearly maintenance fee to keep the claim in good standing. In accordance with federal regulations, the McVicar Claim is in good standing to September 1, 2010. A yearly maintenance fee of $125 is required to be paid to the Bureau of Land Management prior to the expiry date to keep the claim in good standing for an additional year. If we fail to pay the required amount of fee of this exploration work, then our mineral claim will lapse on September 1, 2010, and we will lose all interest that we have in the mineral claim.

 

On July 3, 2009, Rostock Ventures Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a verbal agreement to acquire 59 mining claims (the “Claims”) from Coureur Des Bois (the “Seller”) in the Yukon Province in exchange for $11,025 (the “Consideration”), which amount was to be paid prior to September 30, 2009.  The Seller invoiced the Company on July 14, 2009 for the Consideration.


Though the Claims were duly recorded with the Yukon Territory’s Recorder’s officer on July 3, 2009 in the name of the Company, the Company did not tender full payment for such Claims until September 23, 2009.


The Claims, in the aggregate, are a gold prospect which is approximately 3200 contiguous acres and has similar geological characteristics as recent gold discoveries in close proximity. The Claims lie within the prolific mining region known as the Tintina Gold Belt.


Employees; Identification of Certain Significant Employees


We currently have no employees other than our sole officer and Director, Luis Carrillo.  We plan to use contractors in the future if the need arises during the course of our exploration and/or development activities.


Exploration Work


All exploration work to be completed by us on our claims will be conducted by or under the supervision of Neil Perk and Agata Zurek. Neil Perk and Agata Zurek are consulting geologists and are employed by Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd., which has an office at 700-700 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 1G8.  


Neil Perk graduated from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor of Science in Earth Sciences and has work experience as a project geologist and field assistant on many different projects in Canada. He has worked with Equity Exploration since 2007.


Agata Zurek has a Bachelor of Science in Geology from the University of British Columbia and has worked with Equity Exploration since 2008.

Competition


Mines have limited lives and as a result, we may seek to expand our reserves through the acquisition of new properties in the future. There is a limited supply of desirable mineral lands available in the United States, Canada and other areas where we may consider conducting exploration and/or production activities. We will face strong competition for new properties from other mining companies, most of which have greater financial resources than we do and as a result, we may be unable to acquire new mining properties on terms that we consider acceptable.

 

There is a global market for lead, zinc, copper, silver, gold and other precious metals. We plan to sell any precious metals we may discover, if we are successful in our exploration and mining activities, at prevailing market prices. We do not believe that any single company or other institution has sufficient market power to significantly affect the price or supply of these metals.


Dependence on one or a few Major Competitors


We  do  not  depend  on  one  or  a  small  number  of customers, as we have not successfully discovered or extracted any commercial quantities of lead, zinc, copper, silver, gold or  other  precious  metals to date. We have no customers and have not generated any revenues to date.


Patents, Trademarks and Licenses


We have no patents, trademarks or licenses. We do own the mineral rights to certain property in the State of Nevada, which are explained in detail below.


Need for Government Approval


In  connection  with  our  planned exploration activities, we may be required to comply  with  certain environmental laws and regulations which may require us to obtain  permits  issued  by  regulatory agencies and to file various reports and keep records of our operations affecting the environment. While we will not need any permits for Phases I through III (described below), we will require a permit to conduct diamond drilling pursuant to Phase IV below. We plan to conduct our Phase IV exploration activities only if the results from Phases II and III are encouraging.


Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws


All  of  our  exploration,  development  and  production activities which we may undertake  in the future on our property in Nevada will be subject to regulation by  governmental  agencies  under various environmental laws. These laws address emissions to the air, discharges to water, management of wastes, management of hazardous substances, protection of natural resources, antiquities and endangered species, and reclamation of lands disturbed by mining operations. Additionally, depending on the results of our exploration activities, if completed, and what mining activities we may undertake in the future, funding permitting, certain regulations may also require us to obtain permits for our activities. These permits normally may be subject to public review processes resulting in public approval of the activity. While these laws and regulations may govern how we conduct many aspects of our business, we do not believe that they will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. We plan to evaluate our operations in light of the cost and impact of environmental regulations on those operations. We also plan to evaluate new laws and regulations as they develop to determine the impact on, and changes necessary to, our planned operations. Additionally, it is possible that future changes in these laws or regulations could have a significant impact on some portion of our business, causing us to reevaluate those activities at that time.


Regulation


Exploration activities are subject to various national, state, foreign and local laws and regulations, which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable mining, health, safety and environmental statutes and the regulations promulgated by the United States Federal Government.

 

Our exploration activities are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing and, as a general matter, are becoming more restrictive. Our policy is to conduct business in a way that safeguards public health and the environment. We believe that our exploration activities are conducted in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Changes to current local, state or federal laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate could require additional capital expenditures and increased operating and/or reclamation costs. Although we are unable to predict what additional legislation, if any, might be proposed or enacted, additional regulatory requirements could render certain exploration activities uneconomic.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Our common stock has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board since April 24, 2009, under the symbol “ROSV.OB.”  Because we are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, our securities may be less liquid, receive less coverage by security analysts and news media, and generate lower prices than might otherwise be obtained if they were listed on a national securities exchange.

 

The following table sets forth the high and low bid quotations for our common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board for the periods indicated.

ITEM 6.   SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA


We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.


ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by, or our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.


Cash Requirements


Our cash on hand as of December 31, 2009 is $3,499. We do not have sufficient cash on hand to pay the costs of our operations as projected to twelve (12) months or less or to fund our operations for that same period of time. We will require additional financing in order to proceed with some or all of our goals as projected over the next twelve (12) months. We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with any of our goals projected over the next twelve (12) months and beyond.

 

Any additional growth of the Company will require additional cash infusions. We may face expenses or other circumstances such that we will have additional financing requirements. In such event, the amount of additional capital we may need to raise will depend on a number of factors. These factors primarily include the extent to which we can achieve revenue growth, the profitability of such revenues, operating expenses, research and development expenses, and capital expenditures. Given the number of programs that we have ongoing and not complete, it is not possible to predict the extent or cost of these additional financing requirements.

  

Notwithstanding the numerous factors that our cash requirements depend on, and the uncertainties associated with each of the major revenue opportunities that we have, we believe that our plan of operation can build long-term value if we are able to demonstrate clear progress toward our objectives.


Progress in the development of our business plan will likely lend credibility to our plan to achieve profitability.


The Company does not anticipate any contingency upon which it would voluntarily cease filing reports with the SEC. It is in the compelling interest of this Registrant to report its affairs quarterly, annually and currently, as the case may be, generally to provide accessible public information to interested parties, and also specifically to maintain its eligibility for the OTCBB.


The failure to secure any necessary outside funding could have an adverse affect on our development and results therefrom and a corresponding negative impact on shareholder liquidity.


Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2008


We did not generate any revenue for the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, or for the period from inception, November 2, 2006, through December 31, 2009.  We do not anticipate generating revenues until we raise sufficient capital to conduct our exploration activities and locate commercial quantities of minerals, of which there can be no assurance.  


We had a net loss of $52,399 for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $51,696 for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2008.  This resulted in a decrease in net loss of $1,108 or 2% from the prior period.


We had total operating expenses of $50,326 for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2009, compared to total operating expenses of $49,424 for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2008.   The primary reason for the increase of $902 in operating expenses was due to an increase in exploration and testing of $13,968 offset by a decrease in professional and other administrative expenses of $13,066 for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2009.  Of the $13,968 increase in exploration and testing, $11,025 was due to an adjustment for unproven reserves during Fiscal 2009.



9





We had a foreign exchange gain of $256 for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2009, in connection with foreign currency translation adjustments of our assets compared to a loss of $2,272 for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2008, an increase in foreign exchange income of $2,528.


We currently anticipate having a net loss for each quarterly and annual period moving forward until and unless we are able to discover and successfully extract minerals and generate any revenues through the sale of such minerals, of which there can be no assurance.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


We had current assets of $3,499 as of December 31, 2009, consisting entirely of cash and cash equivalents.  We had no other assets besides the cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009.


We had total liabilities, consisting solely of current liabilities, of $74,534 as of December 31, 2009.  These liabilities consisted of accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable to a shareholder.


We had working capital deficit of $71,035 and a total deficit accumulated during the development stage of $167,267 as of December 31, 2009.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  Operating losses have been incurred each year since inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $167,267 at December 31, 2009.  This condition raises substantial doubt about Rostock’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Currently, management is attempting to raise further capital to fund these losses; however, no assurance can be given as to the success of these efforts.


The financial statements of Rostock do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of liabilities that might be necessary if Rostock is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Future Financings

 

We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.


 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no significant 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 stockholders.


ITEM 7A.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors

Rostock Ventures Corp.

(A Development Stage Company)



  

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Rostock Ventures Corp. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year 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 audit. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the period from November 2, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2008 were audited by other auditors whose report expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

  

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

  

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rostock Ventures Corp. and as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the periods described above 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 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring 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 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness on 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rostock Ventures Corp., as of December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended and the period from November 2, 2006 (Inception) through December 31, 2008 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 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ROSTOCK VENTURES CORP.

(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Nature of Business

Rostock Ventures, Corp. (“Rostock”) was incorporated November 2, 2006 in Nevada and is a development stage company.  Rostock  was formed to seek business opportunities in mineral exploration.  At December 31, 2009, Rostock had purchased 59 mining claims in the Tintina Gold Belt in Yukon Territory, Canada and is in the process of geologically evaluating and testing these claims as well as raising operating capital and further developing its business plan for future acquisitions.


Basis of Presentation


The accompanying financial statements of Rostock Ventures, Corp. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASC Statement No. 105. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (ASC 105).  ASC 105 has become the single source authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force, and related accounting literature.  ASC 105 reorganized the thousands of GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure.  Also included is relevant SEC guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections.  The Company adopted ASC 105 on July 1, 2009.  The adoption of ASC 105 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 825-10-65, Financial Instruments – Overall – Transition and Open Effective Date Information (ASC 825-10-65). ASC 825-10-65 amends ASC 825-10 to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements and also amends ASC 270-10 to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. The adoption of ASC 825-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.


On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 855. ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date – that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This disclosure should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.


On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) (ASU 2009-05). ASU 2009-05 provided amendments to ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of a liability. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.




17




In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to ASC 605, Revenue Recognition) (ASU 2009-13).  ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method.  ASU 2009-13 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2009-13 to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.


Use of Estimates


In preparing financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenue and expenses in the statement of expenses.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


For purposes of the statement of cash flows, Rostock considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Income Taxes


Rostock recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered.  Rostock provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.


Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share


Basic and diluted net loss per share calculations are presented in accordance with FASB guidelines, and are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. They include the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents in years with net income. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same due to the absence of common stock equivalents.


Development Stage Company


The Company complies with Accounting Codification Standard 915-10 for its characterization of the Company as development stage.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Pursuant to ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2009. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash.  The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.


Foreign Currency


Rostock has the U.S. dollar designated as their functional currency because most transactions, including all operating costs, are conducted in U.S. dollars.  Transactions conducted in the local currency, mainly the Canadian dollar, are re-measured to U.S. dollars using current rates of exchange for assets and liabilities.  At each balance sheet date, assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the recording entity must be adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate on that date.  Transaction gains and losses resulting from adjusting assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the reporting entity or from settling such items generally must be included in income as they arise.


2.

GOING CONCERN


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Operating losses have been incurred each year since inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $167,267 at December 31, 2009. This condition raises substantial doubt about Rostock’s ability to continue as a going concern. Currently, management is attempting to raise further capital to fund these losses; however, no assurance can be given as to the success of these efforts.



18





The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


3.

DEBT


Notes payable consist of proceeds from three loan agreements with one shareholder.


The first loan of $20,000 is from funds advanced on October 29, 2008.  The loan is payable on demand, is non interest bearing and is unsecured.  On January 18, 2010 the holder of the note executed an assignment agreement and general release to transfer the obligation to the shareholder effective as of the date the funds were advanced. Imputed interest in the amount of $1,197 is included in additional paid in capital.


The second loan of $15,131 is from net funds advanced by a former shareholder.  On January 18, 2010 the former shareholder assigned and transferred his rights to these funds to the current shareholder.  The assignment was effective as of the dates funds were advanced. The funds advanced bear no interest and are unsecured. Imputed interest in the amount of $614 is included in additional paid in capital.


The third loan of $30,000 is dated September 17, 2009 and bears interest at 6%.  The loan matures September 18, 2010 along with unpaid interest.  Interest of $518 has been accrued on this note as of December 31, 2009.  The loan is unsecured.


4.  

EQUITY


On January 14, 2009, Rostock approved a 7:1 forward stock split on its issued and outstanding shares of common stock to the holders of record as of that date.  As a result of the split, each holder of record automatically received six additional shares of Rostock’s common stock.  After the split, the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding are 40,698,273 shares for both December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.  The accompanying financial statements and related notes thereto have been adjusted accordingly to reflect this forward stock split retroactively.


Preferred stock may be divided into and issued into one or more series by the Board of Directors.  The Board is authorized to determine rights, preferences, limitations and terms of preferred shares.  There were no preferred shares outstanding at December 31, 2009.


From inception (November 2, 2006) through December 31, 2009, Rostock sold 40,698,273 (post forward split) shares of common stock for proceeds totaling $94,421.  28,000,000 (post forward split) of these shares were issued to the founder at $0.01 per share for proceeds of $40,000.


5.

INCOME TAXES


Rostock uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes. The Company has no uncertain tax positions. During fiscal 2009, Rostock incurred a loss and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is $165,703 at December 31, 2009, and $113,323 at December 31, 2008, and will expire through 2029.


At December 31, 2009, deferred tax assets consisted of the following:

6.  

FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

 

Fair Value Measurements


On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC No. 820-10 (ASC 820-10), Fair Value Measurements.  ASC 820-10 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities.


ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.


ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This standard is now the single source in GAAP for the definition of fair value, except for the fair value of leased property as defined in SFAS 13. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, that are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:


 •

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

 •

Level 2

Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

 •

Level 3

Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and   unobservable. These inputs rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. (The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data.)

 

The following presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2009 and 2008:


Level 1: None

Level 2: None

Level 3: None

Total Gain (Losses): None

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. There are no reporting subsequent events requiring disclosure.

ITEM 9.   

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING

AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.


We have previously reported on Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 5, 2010.


ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).  Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.


Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended.  Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  We have identified the following material weaknesses.


1.

As of December 31, 2009, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.  Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.


2.

As of December 31, 2009, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements.   Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.


Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.


Change In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert


The Company intends to establish an audit committee of the board of directors, which will consist of soon-to-be-nominated independent directors. The audit committee’s duties would be to recommend to the Company’s board of directors the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements and to review the Company’s accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee would review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee would at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.


Code of Ethics


We have adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, respectively.  A written copy of the Code is available on written request to the Company.


Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act


We do not yet have a class of equity securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Hence, compliance with Section 16(a) thereof by our officers and directors is not required.
