Notes to the Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1.
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 September 30, 2012, the Company has not earned revenue, has a working capital deficit of $223,572, and an accumulated deficit of $379,013. 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 Companys future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Companys 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.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a)
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 Companys fiscal year end is December 31.
b)
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 Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
c)
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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no cash equivalents.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
d)
Interim Financial Statements
These interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.
e)
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.
f)
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.
g)
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.
h)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
i)
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 instruments 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 Companys 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.
j)
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 carryforwards. 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.
k)
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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company has no items representing comprehensive income or loss.

l)
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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company did not grant any stock options.
m)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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.

Operating Revenues
We have not generated any revenues since inception.
Operating Expenses and Net Loss
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $50,792 compared with $59,270 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in operating expense is attributed to a decrease in professional fees of $1,450 due to lower legal fees as the Company had limited transactions during the current period compared to prior period, decrease of $8,662 of consulting fees as the Company had limited cash flows and did not hire any consultants to assist with the business, decrease of $7,790 in general and administrative expenses due to limited amounts of cash flow and offset by an increase of $11,000 in management fees to the President and Director of the Company at a rate of $2,000 per month compared to prior year where only seven months at a rate of $1,000 per month was charged.
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $60,370 compared with $67,056 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In addition to operating expenses, the Company incurred $9,578 of interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $7,786 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The interest expense is due to the $154,576 of notes payable to related parties which incurs interest from 0-10% per annum and the increase in the current year was due to an increase in the amount of notes payable outstanding.
10
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at September 30, 2012, the Companys cash and total asset balance was $nil compared to $1,398 as at December 31, 2011. The decrease in cash and total assets was due to the fact that the Company incurred operating expenses during the period with only minimal amounts of additional financing from the issuance of notes payable.
As at September 30, 2012, the Company had total liabilities of $223,572 compared with total liabilities of $167,592 as at December 31, 2011. The increase in total liabilities was attributed to increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3,960 due to timing differences between the payment terms of various operating expenditures, $19,350 for amounts owing to related parties for unpaid management fees, and $32,670 of additional notes payable that were issued during the period.
As at September 30, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficit of $223,572 compared with $166,194 as at December 31, 2011. The increase in working capital deficit was attributed to the expenditures incurred in excess of the proceeds received from equity financing during the period.
Cashflow from Operating Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company used $34,068 of cash for operating activities compared to the use of $55,115 of cash for operating activities during the period ended September 30, 2011. The change in net cash used in operating activities is attributed to the fact that the Company received $32,670 from the issuance of notes payable which was used for operating activities during the period.
Cashflow from Financing Activities
During the six months ended September 30, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $32,670 from financing activities compared to $60,878 during the period ended September 30, 2011. The change in cash flows from financing activities is attributed to the fact that the Company received $32,670 from the issuance of notes payable compared with $11,928 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as well as $50,000 from the issuance of common shares during the period ended September 30, 2011.
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.
11
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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.

Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2012, due to the material weaknesses resulting from the Board of Directors not currently having 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, and controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 12, 2012, for a complete discussion relating to the foregoing evaluation of Disclosures and Procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management has also evaluated our internal control over financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of our last evaluation.
The Company is not required by current SEC rules to include, and does not include, an auditor's attestation report. The Company's registered public accounting firm has not attested to Management's reports on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
