FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This annual report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors”, that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
 
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
 
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
 
In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars. All references to “US$” refer to United States dollars and all references to “common stock” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
 
As used in this annual report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” and “our company” mean Rostock Ventures Corp., unless otherwise indicated.
 
Corporate History
 
We were incorporated on November 2, 2006, under the laws of the State of Nevada. The original business plan of our company was to engage in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.  We are currently an exploration stage company.  We have since changed our business focus to the operation of a technology platform designed to connect consumers with cannabis vendors.
 
Current Business
 
On February 12, 2014, we entered into an Advisory Board Member Agreement with Todd Ellison pursuant to which Mr. Ellison will provide guidance on business and technology strategy issues on an as-needed basis. As compensation our company issued 200,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Todd Ellison, on March 6, 2014.  The agreement may be terminated on three days written notice from either party.
 
Effective March 12, 2014, we entered into a patent, technical information and trade mark license agreement with Windward International LLC pursuant to which our company acquired an exclusive license to use certain patents, technical information and trademarks for a term of 500 years, in exchange for 4,000,000 shares of our company’s common stock and a 2% royalty on all net sales derived from the use of the patents, technical information and trademark.
 
Under the license agreement, our company acquired an exclusive license to make, use, sell and offer for sale licensed products during the term.  The licensed products include the domain names www.iWeeds.com, and www.iWeedz.com, the platform that powers iWeedz.com, the Apple Developer license, Google Play license, iWeedz trademark, self-serve ad platform and augmented reality platform.  Further, our company acquired an exclusive license to use the technical information during the term to make licensed products.  The technical information includes any and all unpublished research and development information, the formulation of proprietary products, method, unpatented inventions, know-how, trade secrets, and technical data in the possession of Windward at the effective date of the license agreement, or generated or developed at any time prior to the termination or expiration  of the license agreement.

Our Business
 
We operate iWeedz.com, a technology platform that we acquired from Windward pursuant to the license agreement, to connect consumers with cannabis vendors and promote local marijuana commerce.  We will operate our technology platform through our website located at www.iWeedz.com and through our mobile application for Apple iOS and Android operating systems.  We will strive for simplicity and ease of use in our iWeedz website and mobile application, which we believe will set us apart from our competition. As of the date of this report, our website is not fully functional and our application for Apple iOS and Android operating systems has not been released.
 
iWeedz will provide a simple and quick process for consumers to find the right cannabis products to meet their needs.  Consumers who wish to use iWeedz must first create an account with iWeedz.  Membership for consumers is free.  Once an account is created, the member will be able to use iWeedz to locate local cannabis dispensaries to shop for cannabis products and to communicate with the dispensaries.  As the member uses the iWeedz website and application, the iWeedz technology will gather specific information about the member by tracking accessed content, ‘liked’ items, purchased items and the member’s profile.  iWeedz will then use this information to match the member with the right cannabis vendor or to find deals that may be of interest to the member.
 
Members who are smart phone users will be able to take advantage of iWeedz’s mobile application which will automatically register a member’s geographic location and utilize proximity advertising to notify a member of real-time offers, coupons and discounts from vendors within the member’s vicinity. Members will be able to easily redeem offers that they receive from local vendors by displaying mobile coupons from the iWeedz application at the point of purchase. Unlike other popular internet advertising sites such as Groupon or Living Social, iWeedz customers will be able to redeem coupons without having to pay for them before making a purchase.

iWeedz for cannabis vendors will provide a cloud based solution to manage their inventory, post daily deals, attract new customers with proximity marketing via mobile phones, and engage with customers via e-mail and text messaging.  With iWeedz, vendors will also be able to deploy a targeted marketing campaign to attract iWeedz members and build their customer base. For example, vendors could target local iWeedz customers by utilizing proximity advertising to offer real-time discounts on their products to iWeedz members who agree to provide their e-mail addresses and/or phone numbers.  When these iWeedz members redeem the discount and make a purchase, the vendor can market future discounts and deals to the customer via sms (text messaging) or e-mail. A cannabis vendor will also be required to create an account to become a member.  Membership for a vendor is free if the vendor only wishes to be listed as a dispensary on the website and application.  However, if the member wants to be able to offer promotions and discounts or to interact with member consumers, they will be required to pay a monthly service fee, the amount of which has yet to be determined. We believe that our proximity marketing will attract a wide audience of consumers who are actively seeking and redeeming marijuana coupons.  We further believe that the self-serve coupon feature will appeal to other cannabis vendors looking to reach local customers.
 
iWeedz will generate revenue by charging member cannabis vendors a monthly fee and by selling banner space on its website and application to these vendors. The banners will be viewable by iWeedz consumer members who are within the vendor’s geographic location and who indicate an interest in the vendor or its products, based on the member’s profile or specific user information gathered by the iWeedz technology.  We believe iWeedz’s targeted market intelligence will allow us to charge a premium for ad space. As of the date of this report, we have not yet determined the cost to our vendors for banner space.

Target Market
 
Our target market includes both businesses and consumers in the local marijuana industry. iWeedz is intended for all types of cannabis consumers including those new to cannabis, medical marijuana patients, or recreational consumers, if recreational use is legally permitted in the consumer’s state of residence. iWeedz also targets both medicinal and recreational dispensaries, depending on whether the specific geographical location legally permits recreational marijuana use.
 
Our target market further includes consumers who are frequent users of the internet, mobile phones and other mobile devices to locate retailers, conduct online research and act on promotions such as daily deals, coupons or discounts.

Industry
 
According to eMarketer, a provider of digital marketing and media research, worldwide business-to-consumer ecommerce sales will increase by 20.1% in 2014 to reach $1.500 trillion.1  Growth will come primarily from the rapidly expanding online and mobile user bases in emerging markets, increases in m-commerce (mobile commerce) sales, and advancing shipping and payment options.  This growth can, in part, be attributed to the proliferation of mobile smartphones and other devices.
 
According to CCS Insight, a provider of market information, analysis and intelligence, over 6.6 billion mobile phones will be in use by the end of 2017 2.  Two-thirds of them will be smartphones, up from less than 25 percent in 2012. 3  The mobile and media analyst firm expected 1.86 billion mobile phones to be shipped in 2013, of which 53 percent would be smartphones. 4  At the same time, sales of tablets are rising at a staggering rate. Altogether, global shipments of smart mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) will increase 2.5 times between 2012 and 2017, to reach 2.1 billion units. 5  CCS Insight predicts that by 2017 the combined number of mobile phones and tablets in use will exceed the world’s population. 6
 
According to an October 21, 2013 article from eMarketer, mobile devices played a significant part in digital couponing in 2013 - more than 28% of people who own a mobile device redeemed a coupon in 2013. Nearly 70% of mobile coupon users will access coupons via their smartphones.  eMarketer expected one-third of all smartphone users ages 18 and older, or 42.1 million people, to use a coupon obtained via app, mobile internet, mobile barcode or SMS (text messaging) in 2013.  The U.S. adult smartphone coupon user base was up 40.9% in 2013, following 60.6% growth in 2012.  New smartphone users, as well as the growing popularity of new mobile apps, local deals, and the integration of couponing into social networks will help fuel increases. 7
 
We believe that the adoption of location-based technologies will further contribute to this growth.  Location-based services provide location-specific services to users whose location is ascertained through GPS or wireless networks.  The market for location-based services already stands at $2.9 billion, and was expected to rise to $8.3 billion by 2014, according to market research firm Gartner. 8  Market research firm ABI was even more bullish on the sector: it predicted that location-based services would generate $14 billion in 2014. 9
 
Finally, the retail marijuana market in the U.S. is estimated at approximately $30 billion, according to a cover story in the financial publication “Barron’s” (Barron’s cover story June 3, 2013 10).  Currently 21 states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana for medicinal use, with Colorado and Washington also approving recreational use. It is predicted that other states will soon follow these trends towards legalizing marijuana for medicinal use and recreational use.

Plan of Operation
 
On February 11, 2014, we soft launched our website. As of the date of this Report, our website is not fully functional and we are working to further develop the site. We are still in development for our mobile application for Apple iOS and Android operating systems.
 
To increase brand awareness and draw traffic to our website and mobile application, our company will utilize the techniques described herein under the section entitled “Marketing and Advertising.” Our company may look to hire an outside marketing firm to gain greater exposure to marijuana dispensaries, deepen our relationships with existing member vendors and attract new dispensaries.
 
Our company will strive to achieve the following objectives:

·  
Attract consumers in local marijuana markets.
·  
Grow our base of consumers and vendors.
·  
Build the brand into a household name.
·  
Establish our company as a trusted resource for consumers and vendors.
·  
Invest in research and development to improve the features, functionality and technology of our iWeedz platform.
·  
Improve our market intelligence to further customize deals, offers and discounts on cannabis products to meet the needs of our member consumers.
·  
Expand our business nationally.

Marketing and Advertising

Our company will utilize a variety of marketing and advertising techniques to create a local, community-focused platform for cannabis businesses and consumers, and to raise awareness of the iWeedz brand. These techniques include online methods, traditional methods, and word-of-mouth advertising. Our company will also engage a marketing firm to create and develop strong relationships with marijuana dispensaries.

Online methods

·  
Website: Our company will use search engine optimization to draw traffic to our website.
·  
Viral marketing: Viral marketing efforts will include cross-marketing with other websites, publishing videos on video platforms such as YouTube, and establishing a presence and posting regularly on social networking sites, including Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
·  
Proximity marketing: Proximity marketing is the localized wireless distribution of advertising content associated with a particular place. Proximity marketing provides a new path for retailers to reach their target consumers by capitalizing on the activities that consumers are already involved in. Proximity marketing provides a high level of interactivity between the consumer and the specific location market retailer.
·  
Internet advertising: Our company will use a combination of Internet advertising, including cost-per-click, Google AdWords, tags, and banner ads as appropriate. This multi-pronged effort will help generate interest in our company from the online community and general public.

Traditional methods

·  
Public relations: Our company intends to build a strong public relations campaign via appropriate media outlets. Public relations efforts will include advertising, community support and approval, customer relations, print articles, press releases, and events.
·  
Television advertising: Our company recognizes that television advertising is still an effective means of reaching a large target population. For this reason our company will advertise on cable channels or area affiliates of major networks such as CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox.

Word of Mouth
 
·  
Our company is committed to offering a superior online experience in order to generate a solid and positive reputation within the marijuana industry. It is our goal for iWeedz’s users to recommend our company’s services to their friends, family members, and professional peers. Through this simple marketing tactic, it is our hope that iWeedz will become recognized as the industry’s online marketplace leader.
 
Competition
 
Our primary competitors are WeedMaps and Leafly, who also compete with each other to be the most popular website and application for consumers seeking medical and recreational marijuana. WeedMaps is an online website and mobile application where marijuana consumers connect with other marijuana consumers in their geographic region to locate, discuss and review local cannabis co-operatives, dispensaries, medical doctors and delivery services. Leafly is an online website and mobile application resource that allows users to rate and review different strains of cannabis and cannabis dispensaries. Leafly helps patients determine which cannabis strain is appropriate for their particular symptoms and then directs the patients to dispensaries. Both WeedMaps and Leafly allow users to search for dispensaries and strain availability, but are branded very differently, receive search engine optimization (organic search) traffic from different keywords, and have slightly different visitor demographics. WeedMaps focuses primarily on dispensary locations, while Leafly focuses more on the strains available at dispensaries. Both companies generate revenue by charging dispensaries to upload information about their shops and strain offerings.
 
We also face significant competition from retailers, deal-based websites, cash back and loyalty websites, search engines, social networks, and comparison shopping websites. Some of these competitors include Groupon, Living Social, Citysearch, Yelp and Google, which offer daily deals from local retailers and/or provide information, reviews and guides in certain geographic areas for various industries, including the marijuana industry.
 
Many of our actual and potential competitors enjoy substantial competitive advantages over us, such as superior name recognition, substantially greater financial, technical and other resources and longer operating histories in relevant geographies. We believe that we will be able to compete on the basis of our simple and easy to use website and mobile application and our centered attention on the local marijuana industry. We hope that by focusing solely on marijuana, we will be able to become a trusted name for consumers and businesses in the marijuana industry. Further, we will build upon our following strengths:
 
·  
Free membership for consumers.
·  
Social media incorporation.
·  
Complex technology made simple.
·  
Integration with mobile application.
·  
Extensive, categorical searchability.
·  
Sleek, user-friendly site design.
·  
Focus on local, individual communities.
 
Intellectual Property
 
Our company acquired an exclusive license to use certain patents, technical information and trademarks for a term of 500 years, pursuant to the license agreement with Windward dated March 12, 2014, including the domain names www.iWeeds.com, www.iWeedz.com and the platform that powers iWeeds.com.
 
Government Regulations
 
We are subject to general business regulations and laws as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the Internet and e-commerce. Existing and future regulations and laws could impede the growth of the Internet or other online services. These regulations and laws may involve taxation, tariffs, subscriber privacy, anti-spam, data protection, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, the provision of online payment services and the characteristics and quality of services. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as sales and other taxes, libel and personal privacy apply to the Internet as the vast majority of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and do not contemplate or address the unique issues raised by the Internet or e-commerce. In addition, it is possible that government entities or public interest groups may seek to censor content available on our website and application or may even attempt to completely block our emails or access to our websites. Adverse legal or regulatory developments could substantially harm our business. In particular, in the event that we are restricted, in whole or in part, from operating in certain locations, our ability to increase our customer base may be adversely affected. Currently, we believe we are in compliance with such government regulations and laws.

Additionally, a variety of federal and state laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of consumer data. The existing privacy-related laws and regulations are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations. In addition, various federal and state legislative and regulatory bodies may expand current or enact new laws regarding privacy matters. For example, recently there have been Congressional hearings and increased attention to the capture and use of location-based information relating to users of smartphones and other mobile devices. We intend to post privacy policies and practices concerning the collection, use and disclosure of member data on our website and application. Several Internet companies have incurred substantial penalties for failing to abide by the representations made in their privacy policies and practices. In addition, several states have adopted legislation that requires businesses to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to protect sensitive personal information and to provide notice to consumers in the event of a security breach. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any data-related consent orders, Federal Trade Commission requirements or orders or other federal or state privacy or consumer protection-related laws, regulations or industry self-regulatory principles, could result in claims, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others or other liabilities, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, a failure or perceived failure to comply with industry standards or with our own privacy policies and practices could result in a loss of consumer members or vendors and adversely affect our business. Federal and state governmental authorities also continue to evaluate the privacy implications inherent in the use of third party web “cookies” for behavioral advertising. The regulation of these “cookies” and other current online advertising practices could adversely affect our business.
 
Employees
 
Other than our sole officer and director, we have no significant employees.
 
REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS
 
We are required to file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission and our filings are available to the public over the internet at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov. The public may read and copy any materials filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street N.E. Washington D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Securities and Exchange Commission at 1-800-732-0330. The SEC also maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, at http://www.sec.gov.
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
Much of the information included in this annual report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”. Such forward looking statements include any projections and estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.
 
Such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements” involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”.

Risks Related to Our Business
 
We have a history of losses and no revenues, which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2014 we have incurred aggregate net losses of $498,326. We can offer no assurance that we will ever operate profitably or that we will generate positive cash flow in the future. In addition, our operating results in the future may be subject to significant fluctuations due to many factors not within our control, such as the unpredictability of when vendors will utilize our iWeedz.com technology platform, the demand for our technology platform, and the level of competition and general economic conditions.
 
Our company’s operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. No assurance can be given that we may be able to operate on a profitable basis.
 
Due to the nature of our business and the early stage of our development, our securities must be considered highly speculative. We have not realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will realize any profits in the short or medium term. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon the successful commercialization or licensing of our technology platform, which is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth below.
 
We expect to continue to incur development costs and operating costs. Consequently, we expect to incur operating losses and negative cash flows until our technology platform gains market acceptance sufficient to generate a commercially viable and sustainable level of sales, and/or additional products are developed and commercially released and sales of such products made so that we are operating in a profitable manner. Our history of losses and no revenues raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
We have had negative cash flows from operations since inception. We will require significant additional financing, the availability of which cannot be assured, and if our company is unable to obtain such financing, our business may fail.
 
To date, we have had negative cash flows from operations and have depended on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements. We may continue to have negative cash flows. We have estimated that we will require approximately $65,000 to carry out our business plan for the next twelve months. There is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. We will require additional financing to finance working capital and pay for operating expenses and capital requirements until we achieve a positive cash flow.
 
Our ability to market the iWeedz.com technology platform will be dependent upon our ability to raise significant additional financing. If we are unable to obtain such financing, we will not be able to fully develop our business. Specifically, we will need to raise additional funds to:
 
·  
support our planned growth and carry out our business plan;
·  
hire top quality personnel for all areas of our business; and
·  
address competing technological and market developments.
 
We may not be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing on acceptable terms as required. Even if financing is available, it may not be available on terms that are favorable to us or in sufficient amounts to satisfy our requirements. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders. If we require, but are unable to obtain, additional financing in the future, we may be unable to implement our business plan and our growth strategies, respond to changing business or economic conditions, withstand adverse operating results and compete effectively. More importantly, if we are unable to raise further financing when required, we may be forced to scale down our operations and our ability to generate revenues may be negatively affected.

We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations.
 
We have no history of revenues from operations and have no significant tangible assets. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Accordingly, we must be considered in the development stage. Our success is significantly dependent on a successful commercialization of our technology platform. Our operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to develop a successful technology platform or achieve commercial acceptance of our iWeedz.com technology platform or operate on a profitable basis. We are in the development stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the development stage. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in our company.
 
If we fail to effectively manage the growth of our company and the commercialization of our technology platform, our future business results could be harmed and our managerial and operational resources may be strained.
 
As we proceed with the commercialization of our technology platform and the expansion of our marketing and commercialization efforts, we expect to experience significant growth in the scope and complexity of our business. We will need to add staff to market our iWeedz.com technology platform, manage operations, handle sales and marketing efforts and perform finance and accounting functions. We anticipate that we will be required to hire a broad range of additional personnel in order to successfully advance our operations. This growth is likely to place a strain on our management and operational resources. The failure to develop and implement effective systems, or to hire and retain sufficient personnel for the performance of all of the functions necessary to effectively service and manage our potential business, or the failure to manage growth effectively, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
 
Because we face intense competition from larger and better-established companies that have more resources than we do, we may be unable to implement our business plan or increase our revenues.
 
The market for our technology platform is intensely competitive and highly fragmented. Many of these competitors may have longer operating histories, greater financial, technical and marketing resources, and enjoy existing name recognition and customer bases. New competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. In addition, new services and technologies likely will increase the competitive pressures we face. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly to technological change, competitive pressures, or changes in consumer demand. As a result of their advantages, our competitors may be able to limit or curtail our ability to compete successfully.
 
In addition, many of our large competitors may offer customers a broader or superior range of services and technologies. Some of our competitors may conduct more extensive promotional activities and offer lower commercialization and costs to customers than we do, which could allow them to gain greater market share or prevent us from establishing and increasing our market share. Increased competition may result in significant price competition, reduced profit margins or loss of market share, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate revenues and successfully operate our business. Our competitors may develop technologies superior to those that our company currently possess. In the future, we may need to decrease our prices if our competitors lower their prices. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, services, technologies and customer requirements. Such competition will potentially affect our chances of achieving profitability, and ultimately affect our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Our by-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them.
 
Our by-laws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officers and directors against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by him or her in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which they were made parties by reason of his or her being or having been one of our directors or officers.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock
 
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital, it may adversely impact our ability to continue operations and we may go out of business.
 
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because we may attempt to acquire a significant portion of the funds we need in order to conduct our planned operations through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be detrimental to our liquidity and our operations because the decline may cause investors to not choose to invest in our stock. If we are unable to raise the funds we require for all of our planned operations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may suffer and not be successful and we may go out of business. We also might not be able to meet our financial obligations if we cannot raise enough funds through the sale of our common stock and we may be forced to go out of business.
 
If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result in the dilution of our existing shareholders.
 
We are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.001. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares will result in a reduction of the book value and market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuance will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all current shareholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our company.
 
Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities Exchange Commission's penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
 
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), formerly the National Association of Securities Dealers or NASD, has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Operating Revenues
 
During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, our company did not record any revenues.
 
Operating Expenses and Net Loss
 
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $463,619 compared with $67,472 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in operating expense was attributed to an impairment of the license fee of $396,000.

As at December 31, 2014, our cash balance and total assets were $256 compared to $4,524 as at December 31, 2013. The decrease was due to the use of cash for operating activities as our company had significant operating expenses that were covered only by cash flow received from financing activities.

As at December 31, 2014, we had total liabilities of $368,530 compared with total liabilities of $309,170 as at December 31, 2013. The increase in total liabilities was attributed to an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $17,045 as our company had limited cash flows to repay outstanding obligations as they became due, an increase of $23,730 to related parties for unpaid management fees, and $18,585 for the net effects of additional notes payable that were issued during the year as part of our company’s financing activities.
 
As at December 31, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of $352,689 compared with a working capital deficit of $304,210 as at December 31, 2013. The increase in working capital deficit was due to additional notes payable that were issued during the year that were used to repay outstanding obligations, and the fact that accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased due to the inability of our company to raise sufficient cash flow to repay outstanding obligations as they became due.  
 
Cashflow from Operating Activities
 
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we used $36,783 of cash for operating activities compared to the use of $59,276 of cash for operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in cash used for operating activities was due to the fact that our company was limited to available cash on hand and amounts received from financing activities to repay outstanding operating activities during the year.  
 
Cashflow from Investing Activities
 
During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we did not have any cash transactions related to investing activities.
 
Cashflow from Financing Activities
 
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we received $32,515 of cash from financing activities compared to $63,800 for the year ended December 31, 2013. We received all proceeds from issuances of notes payable to both related parties and non-related parties.
 
Cash Requirements
 
Over the next 12 months we intend to carry on business as an Internet portal and next generation social media website. We anticipate that we will incur the following operating expenses during this period:
 
Estimated Funding Required During the Next 12 Months

Amount
 
       
General and administrative expenses
  $ 6,000  
Management fees
  $ 24,000  
Professional fees
  $ 35,000  
Total
  $ 65,000  
 
We will require additional funds of approximately $65,000 over the next twelve months to implement our growth strategy. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on their investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.
 
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.
 
 
18

 
 
Purchase of Significant Equipment
 
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment during the next 12 months.
 
Going Concern
 
Our company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our company does not have a source of revenue sufficient to cover our operation costs giving substantial doubt for it to continue as a going concern. Our company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of our common stock in order to implement its business plan, or merge with an operating company. There can be no assurance that our company will be successful in either situation in order to continue as a going concern. Our company is funding our initial operations by way of issuing founder’s shares.
 
Our officers and directors have committed to advancing certain operating costs of our company, including legal, audit, transfer agency and edgarizing costs.
 
In order to continue as a going concern, our company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for our company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet our minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that our company will be successful in accomplishing any of our plans.
 
The ability of our company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if our company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any 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 or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.
 
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.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The financial statements of our company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. Our company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
 
 
19

 
 
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. Our company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recoverability of mineral properties, share based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.  Our company bases our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe 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 our company may differ materially and adversely from our 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
 
Our 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no cash equivalents.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations
 
Our 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
 
Our 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
 
Our 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.
 
 
20

 
 
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.
 
Our company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, note payables, 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.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset.  Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
 
Income Taxes
 
Our 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.  Our 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our company has no items representing comprehensive income or loss.
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
Our 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our company did not grant any stock options.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Our company has limited operations and is considered to be in the development stage.  During the period ended June 30, 2014, our company elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements.  The adoption of this ASU allows our company to remove the inception to date information and all references to development stage.

Our 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 our company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Rostock Ventures Corp.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Rostock Ventures Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity 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 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.  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 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, 2014 and 2013, and the result of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The 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’s losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ROSTOCK VENTURES CORP.
Notes to the Financial Statements


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 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. On March 12, 2014, the Company signed a license agreement to acquire certain licenses and trademarks. The Company is currently re-evaluating its business operations and objectives within mineral exploration, and into a different sector.
 
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, 2014, the Company has not earned revenue, has a working capital deficit of $352,689, and an accumulated deficit of $968,812. 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.
 
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 Company’s 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, share based compensation, 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.
 
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 December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no cash equivalents.

Notes to the Financial Statements


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
d) 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.
 
e) 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.
 
f) 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.
 
g) 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.
 
h) 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.

ROSTOCK VENTURES CORP.
Notes to the Financial Statements


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
h) Financial Instruments (continued)
 
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, note payables, 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.
 
i) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
 
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 December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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 December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not grant any stock options.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
 
On March 12, 2015, we formally informed M&K CPAS, PLLC of their dismissal as our company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
 
The reports of M&K CPAS, PLLC on our company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle except to indicate that there was substantial doubt about our company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Our company’s board of directors participated in and approved the decision to change independent registered public accounting firms.
 
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and through March 12, 2015, there have been no disagreements with M&K CPAS, PLLC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of M&K CPAS, PLLC would have caused them to make reference thereto in connection with their report on the financial statements for such years.
 
On March 16, 2015, our company engaged PLS CPA as our new independent registered public accounting firm. During the two most recent fiscal years and through March 12, 2015, our company had not consulted with PLS CPA regarding any of the following:
 
(i)  
The application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed;
(ii)  
The type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our company’s financial statements, and none of the following was provided to our company:  (a) a written report, or (b) oral advice that PLS CPA concluded was an important factor considered by our company in reaching a decision as to accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or
(iii)  
Any matter that was subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.
 
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
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 (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting 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 (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014. 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 (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting 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). Our 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 our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), our company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, 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 our company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, our company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
 
1.  
We did not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is our management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over our company’s financial statement. Currently our 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.
2.  
We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – As of December 31, 2014, our 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 our company’s bank accounts. Alternatively, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact that our company had limited transactions in their bank accounts.
3.  
We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – As at December 31, 2014, our company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however, there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of our company’s data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors.
 
Accordingly, our 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 our company’s internal controls.
 
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that our company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
 
Continuing Remediation Efforts to Address Deficiencies in our Company’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Once our 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:

 
36

 
 

1.  
Our board of directors will nominate an audit committee or a financial expert on our board of directors.
2.  
We will appoint additional personnel to assist with the preparation of our company’s monthly financial reporting, including preparation of the monthly bank reconciliations.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2014 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Identification of Significant Employees
 
We have no significant employees other than Gregory Rotelli, our sole officer and director.
 
Family Relationships
 
There are no family relationships among our officers, directors or persons nominated for such positions.
 
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
 
To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:
 
1.  
been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);
2.  
had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;
3.  
been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;
4.  
been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
5.  
been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
6.  
been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26)), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29)), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.
 
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
We do not currently have an audit committee or a committee performing similar functions. The board of directors as a whole participates in the review of financial statements and disclosure.
 
Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of our company’s audit committee that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and is “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
We believe that the sole member of our board of directors is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date. In addition, we currently do not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor do we have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our sole director does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because believes the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the sole member of our board of directors.
 
 
38

 
 
Code of Ethics
 
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, members of our board of directors, our company’s officers including our president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer, employees, consultants and advisors. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
 
 
1.
honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
 
2.
full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;
 
3.
compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
 
4.
the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and
 
5.
accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
 
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company’s senior officers commit to timely, accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.
 
In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly senior officers, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal and state securities laws. Any senior officer who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to our company. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.
 
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was included with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 14.1 to our annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 29, 2011. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Rostock Ventures Corp., 2360 Corporate Circle, Suite 4000, Henderson, Nevada, 89074-7722.
 
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
 
Our common stock is not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, our officers, directors, and principal stockholders are not subject to the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on March 25, 2015. As of March 25, 2015, we had 45,612,559 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. All figures assume full dilution of convertible securities held.
(2)  
Gregory Rotelli has acted as our president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, secretary treasurer and director since May 10, 2011.
(3)  
Richard Smith has voting and dispositive control over the 4,000,000 shares of our common stock, beneficially owned by Windward International LLC.

Changes in Control
 
We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement or provisions of our Articles or Bylaws the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of our company. There are not any provisions in our Articles or Bylaws, the operation of which would delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of our company.
 
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence
 
Related Party Transactions
 
As at December 31, 2014, our company owes $65,799 (2013 - $42,069) to our sole officer and director for funding of general operations. The amount owing is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2014, our company incurred $24,000 (2013 - $24,000) of management fees to the sole officer and director of our company.
 
Other than the foregoing, none of the directors or executive officers of our company, nor any person of record who owned or was known to own beneficially more than 5% of our company’s outstanding shares of 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 our 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. The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Director” means a person other than an executive officer or employee of our company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of our company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
 
According to the NASDAQ definition, Gregory Rotelli is not an independent director because he is also an executive officer of our company.
 
Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees And Services
 
The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
 
Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
