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 entered into a purchase agreement dated December 22, 2006 with Kimberly Sinclair pursuant to which we acquired a 100% interest in the McVicar Lode Mining Claim (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. 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. As of September 1, 2010, we have abandoned the McVicar Claim and it is no longer in good standing in Nevada due to non-payment of the yearly maintenance fee.

On September 30, 2009, we purchased 59 mining claims in the Tintina Gold Belt in Yukon Territory, Canada (the “Yukon Claims”) in exchange for $11,025. The property consists of approximately 3,200 contiguous acres and lies within the globally prolific mining region known as the Tintina Gold Belt. The Company renewed its lease on the claims in 2011 and intends to pursue additional work on the claims in the near future.

On May 10, 2010, we acquired the rights to an exploration license for approximately 300 hectares located in Hants County, Nova Scotia Canada in an area generally known as the Central Rawdon Mines from Marino Specogna in exchange for $3,000. The license is no longer in good standing in Nova Scotia as the Company has allowed the license to expire and has not paid the yearly maintenance fees.

We are in the process of geologically evaluating and testing the Yukon Claims for minerals as well as raising operating capital and further developing our business plan for future acquisitions. Management is also currently actively engaged in evaluating new prospects as well that could add new potential shareholder value to the Company. These new prospects include, but are not limited to, gold, silver and rare earth element (REE) prospects including lithium. Management intends to commence one or more of these new prospects in the near future.

Plan of Operations

Our current exploration target is to find commercially viable deposits of miscellaneous ores on our Yukon Claims. We must conduct exploration to determine what amount of minerals, if any, exist on our properties and if any minerals found can be economically extracted and profitably processed. If commercially marketable quantities of mineral deposits exist on the property underlying our mineral claims and sufficient funds are available, we will evaluate the financial viability, technical and financial risks of extraction, including an evaluation of the economically recoverable portion of the deposit, the metallurgy and ore recoverability, marketability and payability of the ore concentrates, engineering concerns, milling and infrastructure costs, finance and equity requirements and an analysis of the proposed mine from the initial excavation all the way through to reclamation. After we conduct this analysis and determine that a given ore body is worth recovering, we will begin the development process. Development will require us to obtain a processing plant and other necessary equipment including delivery equipment to transport the processed ore to our customers.

Presently, we do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever on any of the Yukon Claims. If we do not find mineralized material or if we cannot remove mineralized material, either because we do not have the money to do so, or because it is not economically feasible to do so, we will seek to acquire other exploration properties or be forced to cease operations. Any such acquisition(s) that we undertake will involve due diligence costs in addition to the acquisition cost. We will also have an ongoing obligation to maintain our periodic filings with the appropriate regulatory authorities, which will involve legal and accounting costs. In the event that our available capital is insufficient to acquire an alternative resource property and sustain minimum operations, we will need to secure additional funding or else we will be compelled to discontinue our business. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and have not commenced planned principal operations. We can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such deposits are discovered, that we will enter into substantial exploration programs.

Description and Geography of the Mineral Claims

The Yukon Claims are part of the larger Yukon Gold property that lies within the Whitehorse and Dawson Mining Districts, in the North Dawson Range of west-central Yukon, approximately 135 km south of Dawson City (Figure 1). It is centered at 63o 07' north latitude and 139o 39' west longitude. The Yukon Gold property lies immediately across the Yukon River from the White Gold property of Underworld Resources, now Kinross Gold Corporation, and is underlain by similar rocks, suggesting the potential for a similar deposit. The Yukon Gold property is composed of over 200 km2 of quartz claims held by six companies, including Rostock (ROSV), situated in generally rolling hills with sparse vegetation.

[f10k123111_10k002.jpg]

Figure 1

The Yukon Gold property consists of 889 quartz mineral claims covering 200 km2 within three separate blocks of contiguous claims, as summarized in Figure 2. The claim boundaries are defined by the locations of claim posts on the ground, which have not been surveyed. Claim ownership information is provided in Figure 2.

[f10k123111_10k004.gif]

Figure 2

Surface rights over the Yukon Gold property are owned by the Yukon Territory. No significant surface disturbance or any major environmental liabilities have been noted during the field visits. Depending on the nature of the program, exploration permits may be required from the Yukon Department of Energy, Mines and Resources prior to carrying out further exploration on the Yukon Gold property.

[f10k123111_10k006.gif]

Figure 3

The Yukon Gold property can be accessed by helicopter from Dawson City, and staging areas for supplies can be flown to the Thistle airstrip along Thistle Creek, which lies 10-15 kilometers east of the Yukon Gold property. Alternatively, several boat operators in Dawson City and a barge operating out of Minto Landing are available for hire to transport supplies to points along the Yukon and/or White River where they can be subsequently mobilized by helicopter to the property.

The topography of the area is characterized by rolling hills typical of the Dawson Ranges, with elevations ranging between 600 and 1250 m. Vegetation is sparse, with lower elevations covered by spruce, birch, aspen, alder and willow, whereas higher elevations have thick moss, grasses and scrub birch. Further south, hills are generally more subdued and more thickly vegetated with spruce on slopes and thick willow and alder in creek valleys. North-facing slopes locally exhibit permafrost, which complicates soil sampling. South-facing slopes are more typically vegetated by deciduous trees such as aspen and birch. Drainage systems vary from well channeled, discrete streams to swamps in broader, flat-bottomed valleys.

The area has a sub-arctic continental climate, with cold winters and cool, wet summers. Exploration can be carried out on the Yukon Gold property from June until October.

Property Geology

Minor reconnaissance mapping conducted during the 2009 exploration program (described below) indicated that the Yukon Gold property is underlain by metamorphic rock units likely belonging to the Nasina Assemblage of the Yukon Tanana Terrain. These units are dominantly quartz-muscovite and chlorite-muscovite schist. A small unit of unfoliated intermediate volcanic rocks likely belonging to Nisling Range Suite is present in the north central portion of the middle claim block, near the White River.

The reconnaissance mapping of the Yukon Gold property conducted during the 2011 exploration program (described below) was limited in scope with parts of two field days spent mapping. Structural measurements of S1 foliation indicate a southwest to westerly-striking, northeast to northerly-dipping trend, with a second generation of folding dipping moderately to the north. The lithologies encountered were primarily quartz-muscovite-biotite±garnet schist to gneiss, rarely migmatitic, and chlorite-biotite±garnet schist with protoliths varying from volcanics to intrusives. Also encountered was a plagioclase andesite porphyry with weak biotite and moderate chlorite alteration in contact with felsic volcanic gneiss, as well as a pyroxenite in contact with quartz-muscovite- biotite-schist. Disseminated pyrite and Fe-oxides (predominately limonite, rarely hematite) are commonly found associated with late quartz veining. Three rock samples were taken, but returned background levels for all precious and pathfinder elements.

Soil Geochemistry

Yukon Gold property

A total of 412 soil samples (including blanks and duplicates) were taken from the Yukon Gold property, including the Company’s Yukon Claims, during the 2011 program. Analytical percentiles on the Yukon Gold property for gold, silver, arsenic, antimony, copper, molybdenum, lead and zinc, using all soil samples collected from the Yukon Gold property between 2009 and 2011, are shown in Table 1. Gold levels are generally low on the entire Yukon Gold property, with the 98th percentile of the data falling only slightly higher than three times the lower detection limit. This suggests that gold anomalies alone may not present an accurate picture of anomalous zones on the property. A true anomaly should therefore exhibit not only multiple high gold values but anomalous levels of pathfinder elements as well. Arsenic is the most attractive choice, given its association with other gold deposits in the region (such as White Gold) and relatively high maximum concentrations on the Yukon Gold property.

Table 1: Soil Geochemistry Percentiles

Yukon Claims

During the 2011 exploration program, 54 samples were collected from Rostock’s Yukon Claims. From these samples, anomalous soil samples were identified. Table 2 below totals the number of anomalous samples exceeding the 98th, 95th, 90th and 80th percentiles of the elements of interest, namely gold, silver, arsenic, antimony and molybdenum. The table also includes the maximum value of each element found on the claims. Table 2 is the calculated percentiles using the collective data from the 2009, 2010 and 2011 programs.

The work to date on Rostock’s Yukon Claims, including the previous work in 2009 and 2010, has outlined a 2.5 x 0.7 km wide west-northwest trending silver anomaly (max value of 1.8 ppm silver) at the south of the property. The anomaly continues off the property to the southeast and was identified from work done in 2011 and previous work. This area does not have much work to date and more soil sampling, mapping and prospecting is warranted to follow up on the anomalous samples to determine the nature and extent of their source.


	Gold (ppb)	Silver (ppm)	Arsenic (ppm)	Antimony (ppm)	Molybdenum (ppm)

Exploration Work

All exploration work to be completed by us on our Yukon Claims has been conducted and will continue to be conducted by or under the supervision of consulting geologists employed by Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd. (“Equity Exploration”), which has an office at 700-700 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 1G8. We also plan to engage project geologists, geochemical sampling crews and drilling companies as contractors, depending on the specific exploration program of the claims.

Exploration Work on the Property

There is very little documentation on the exploration history in the area of the Yukon Gold property. In 1970, a small sampling program was conducted on the Nick Claims which were located along the northern edge of the central claim block of the Yukon Gold property. A total of six soil and seven stream silt samples were collected during the program with no significant results noted.

The Yukon Gold property came to prominence in 2007 when Underworld Resources Ltd. (now Kinross Gold Corporation), acquired the White Gold property and defined several gold-bearing showings within a 1.2 x 7.5 kilometre soil geochemical anomaly. Initial trenching and drilling results were encouraging and in May 2009, Underworld announced a drill hole with 104 metres grading 3.4 g/tonne gold. In the ensuing staking rush, the Yukon Gold property claims were staked in June 2009 immediately west of Underworld’s White Gold property.

2009 Exploration Program

In 2009, an exploration program was undertaken on the Yukon Gold property consisted of soil sampling, prospecting and geologic mapping by Equity Exploration on behalf of several companies. A total of 1,178 soil samples were collected and assayed for a broad suite of elements. The results of this exploration program formed part of the basis for the planning of the 2010 soil sampling program.

2010 Soil Sampling Program

The 2010 soil sampling program on the Yukon Gold property was restricted to the eastern claim block (Figure 2) and was carried out by Equity Exploration on behalf of several companies. A total of 435 soil samples (including QA/QC samples) were collected and submitted for geochemical analysis. The results of this sampling program were used to plan grid lines over the geochemical anomalies from the 2009 and 2010 work.

2011 Exploration Program

The 2011 exploration program on the Yukon Gold property was designed to further define the known anomalies and continue the reconnaissance-stage assessment of the eastern claim block of the Yukon Gold property for gold potential that was begun in 2009. The primary goal of the program was to enhance data resolution over the soil anomalies identified in the 2009 and 2010 programs as well as to achieve soil coverage of areas of the eastern claim block which had not been previously sampled. Also taken into account when designing the program were the relative financial contributions to the program and quantity of previous work on the claim blocks of each individual company.

The 2011 work was based out of Thistle airstrip where a fly camp was established with daily transport to and from the site via helicopter. A total of 412 soil samples (including blanks and duplicates) and three rocks were collected from the Habanero/Brookemont/Rostock/Encore claims. Soil samples were taken at 100 m spacing along spurs, contours, and grid lines, and locally at 50 m spacing. Sample sites were located with a hand-held GPS, and marked in the field by means of flagging tape and tyvek tags with the sample number written on them in permanent marker. Rock samples were also marked by flagging tape and aluminum tags inscribed with sample number, date, sample type and the sampler’s initials. Samples were delivered to the ALS Chemex Laboratories preparation facility in Whitehorse, Yukon. The samples were analyzed for gold by fire assay with an Atomic Absorption Spectrometry finish (ALS code Au- AA23) and a multi-element suite by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ALS code ME-ICP41). Approximately 5% QA/QC samples (in addition to internal QA/QC procedures at ALS Chemex) were collected.

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.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

We have no patents, trademarks or licenses.

Government Regulations

Exploration activities are subject to various federal, state, foreign and local laws and regulations, which govern prospecting, mineral exploration, drilling, mining, production, mineral extraction, transportation of minerals, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and several 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 Yukon Territory, State of Nevada and the United States and Canadian Federal Governments. Currently, there are no costs associated with our compliance with such regulations and laws. There is presently no need for any government approval of our business or our anticipated mineral products.

Environmental Regulations

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 environmental 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 costs. Although we are unable to predict what additional legislation and the associated costs of such legislation, if any, might be proposed or enacted, additional regulatory requirements could render certain exploration activities uneconomic.

The increase was offset by decreases in mineral property expenditures of $8,525 and decrease in general and administrative expenses of $15,519.

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $85,508 compared with $65,868 for the year ended December 31, 2010. In addition to operating losses, the Company incurred $10,528 of interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $6,956 for the year ended December 31, 2010 relating to notes payable to related parties which are unsecured, due interest at 10% per annum, and due on demand.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at December 31, 2011, the Company’s cash balance and total assets were $1,398 compared to $nil as at December 31, 2010. The increase was due to financing received from issuance of notes payable and common shares which were used for general operating costs.

As at December 31, 2011, the Company had total liabilities of $167,592 compared with total liabilities of $134,444 as at December 31, 2010. The increase in total liabilities was attributed to $16,502 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities for unpaid operating costs and accrued interest on the notes payable, $11,928 increase in notes payable for additional financing received, and $4,950 increase in amounts owing to related parties for unpaid management fees and costs incurred on behalf of the company.

As at December 31, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $166,194 compared with a working capital deficit of $134,444 as at December 31, 2010. The decrease in working capital deficit was attributed to the settlement of accounts payable and notes payable with the issuance of common shares during the year.

Cashflow from Operating Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company used $65,480 of cash for operating activities compared to the use of $45,346 of cash for operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in cash used for operating activities was due to limited cash flows as the Company had minimal cash financing during the year compared with operating expenditures.

Cashflow from Investing Activities

During the years ended December 31, 2011, the Company did not have any cash transactions related to investing activities compared with the use of $3,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010 for acquisition of mineral properties.

Cashflow from Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company received $66,878 of cash from financing activities compared to $44,847 for the year ended December 31, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company received $50,000 from the issuance of common shares. $9,950 from related parties and $11,928 from notes payable compared to proceeds received of $44,847 during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Going Concern

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.

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.

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 our operations and other activities.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Contractual Obligations

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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-12 deferred the new presentation requirements outlined by ASU 2011-05 regarding reclassification of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This standard is effective for all annual period beginning after December 15, 2011. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose both the gross and net information about both instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement and includes derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. This standard is effective for all fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and items reclassified to the statement of operations are required to be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measure and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 amended the definition of fair value measurement to be more closely aligned with IFRS including: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. This standard is effective for all fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. ASU 2010-13 addresses the classification of an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades that is differs from the functional currency of the employer entity or payroll currency of the employee. This standard is effective for all fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Rostock Ventures Corp.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Rostock Ventures Corp. (an exploration stage company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rostock Ventures Corp. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations 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 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring net losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ROSTOCK VENTURES CORP.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to the Financial Statements

Organization and Nature of Operations

Rostock Ventures Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 2, 2006 and is a natural resource exploration and production company engaged in the exploration, acquisition, and development of mineral properties in the United States. The Company is an exploration stage company as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, Development Stage Entities. The Company hold 59 mineral claims in the Tintina Gold Belt in Yukon, Canada and is in the process of exploring these claims, as well as raising additional capital for future acquisitions.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at December 31, 2011, the Company has not earned revenue, has a working capital deficit of $166,194, and an accumulated deficit of $318,643. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recoverability of mineral properties, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no cash equivalents.

Mineral Property Costs

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on November 2, 2006 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.

Financial Instruments

Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 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. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

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 Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related party. Pursuant to ASC 820, 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.

ROSTOCK VENTURES CORP.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to the Financial Statements

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Comprehensive Loss

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has no items representing comprehensive income or loss.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. As at December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not grant any stock options.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, using the criteria established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

A material weakness is a deficiency, or 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. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.

We did not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities.

We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – As of December 31, 2011, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signatures on the Company’s bank accounts. Alternatively, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact that the Company had limited transactions in their bank accounts.

We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – As at December 31, 2011, the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however, there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors.

Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls.

As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is 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 public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s 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.

Continuing Remediation Efforts to Address Deficiencies in Company’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Once the Company is engaged in a business of merit and has sufficient personnel available, then our Board of Directors, in particular and in connection with the aforementioned deficiencies, will establish the following remediation measures:

Our Board of Directors will nominate an audit committee or a financial expert on our Board of Directors in the next fiscal year.

We will appoint additional personnel to assist with the preparation of the Company’s monthly financial reporting, including preparation of the monthly bank reconciliations.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Company does not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert (as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K) serving on its Board of Directors. All current members of the Board of Directors lack sufficient financial expertise for overseeing financial reporting responsibilities. The Company has not yet employed an audit committee financial expert on its Board due to the inability to attract such a person.

The Company intends to establish an audit committee of the board of directors, which will consist of independent directors. The audit committee’s duties will 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 will 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 will 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 chief executive officer and chief financial officer. 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.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Related Party Transactions

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company incurred $13,000 (2010 - $nil) of management fees to the President and Director of the Company.

Other than the foregoing, none of the director(s) or executive officer(s) of the Company, nor any person who owned of record or was known to own beneficially more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares of its Common Stock, nor any associate or affiliate of such persons or companies, has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction that has occurred during the past fiscal year, or in any proposed transaction, which has materially affected or will affect the Company.

With regard to any future related party transaction, we plan to fully disclose any and all related party transactions in the following manner:

disclosing such transactions in reports where required;

disclosing in any and all filings with the SEC, where required;

obtaining disinterested directors consent; and

obtaining shareholder consent where required.

Director Independence

For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The OTCBB on which shares of Common Stock are quoted does not have any director independence requirements.

According to the NASDAQ definition, Gregory Rotelli is not an independent director because he is also an executive officer of the Company.
