NOTE 1 -
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such consolidated financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim condensed consolidated financial stateme nts be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2006, Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
The operations of the joint venture as described in Note 5 will be accounted for in the accompanying financial statements as a majority-owned subsidiary, adjusted for any minority interest share in the corresponding gain or loss of the joint venture for each period presented.
NOTE 2 -
LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share takes into consideration shares of common stock outstanding (computed under basic loss per share) and potentially dilutive shares of common stock. In periods where losses are reported the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Following is a reconciliation of the loss per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

NOTE 3 -
GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $244,816 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. This factor, as well as the uncertain conditions that the Company faces relative to capital raising activities, create an uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is seeking to raise additional capital through public and/or private placement offerings, targeting strategic partners in an effort to increase revenues, and expanding revenues through strategic acquisitions. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of capital offerings or alternative financing arrangements and expansion of its operations. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Co mpany be unable to continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $115,488. The Company will require additional funding during the next twelve months to finance the growth of its current operations and achieve its strategic objectives. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing sufficient to generate enough cash flow to fund its operations through 2007 and 2008. However, management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured.
NOTE 4 -
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are computed under the provisions of the Financial Accounting and Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 109 (SFAS 109) Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expenses (benefits) result from the net change during the period of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

INCOME TAXES (Continued)
The Company has approximately $5,650,000 of operating loss carry-forwards, which expire in various periods through 2026. The availability of certain operating loss carry-forwards for income tax purposes is subject to certain restrictions due to Internal Revenue Code Section 382 because there was a change in control of the Company in 2001.
The Company has provided a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets given that it is in the development stage and it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized.
The deferred tax asset consisted of the following at June 30, 2007.
Deferred tax asset:

Income tax benefit of operating loss carry forwards | $ 2,714,474 |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Executive Overview
We are a holding company operating on a consolidated basis with our wholly-owned subsidiary, CWI Technology, Inc., and our majority-owned subsidiary, TRU Oiltech, Inc. These subsidiaries are development stage companies engaged in the business of developing technologies related to diesel engines and an upgrading process for heavy crude oil. Our subsidiaries are in the testing phase of their technologies and intend to move toward licensing and marketing these technologies.
We have not received, nor recorded, consolidated revenue from ongoing operations for the past two years and have relied on equity transactions to fund development of our business plan. We anticipate that equity financings will be our primary source of funding for the next twelve months.
TRU Oiltech, Inc. – develops and markets the TRU technology which is a mild thermal reagent-based upgrading process added to heavy crude oil and oil sands bitumen that improves viscosity for transfer in pipeline systems. Management believes this process could reduce costs for oil producers that transfer millions of barrels of heavy crude each day. Generally, adding diluent or condensates to heavier oils represents 30% of the total cost per barrel of blended heavy oils. The TRU technology process may potentially reduce this cost by $5 to $10 per barrel, and, as licensor of the technology, we anticipate receiving a fee of $1 to $2 per barrel.
On April 11, 2007, TRU Oiltech filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office a patent application titled,“Method of Upgrading Heavy Crude Oil.” and is now commencing the business development phase for this technology.
TRU Oiltech intends to seek out partnerships with oil producers that will lead to licensing revenue from the commercial use of the TRU technology. Tru Oiltech will obtain samples from a potential customer, then it will complete a series of tests using the TRU technology to optimize samples for upgrading. The samples will be provided to the potential customer with test results and an economic model. If the potential customer is satisfied
10
with the results, then the parties will enter into a licensing agreement. The parties will design and construct a continuous feed one-barrel-per-day pilot plant. Then if satisfied with the results of the pilot plant, the parties will enter into a royalty agreement and then the customer will expand the TRU process to a full scale field pilot or a full scale production facility.
On February 23, 2007, Rival Technologies and TRU Oiltech entered into a joint venture agreement with Harrison Kramer Corp. (“Harrison Kramer”) that entitled Harrison Kramer a 25% interest and exclusive right to exploit the TRU technology in Venezuela until March 21, 2008. The Orinoco Oil belt is located in eastern Venezuela and it is one of the largest bitumen accumulations in the world. The TRU technology can substantially increase the economic recoveries of Orinoco bitumen and Harrison Kramer has agreed to assist in the commercialization of the TRU technology in Venezuela. Under the joint venture agreement, Harrison Kramer has the responsibility, out of its share of the joint venture participation, to compensate others that may assist, either directly or indirectly, in facilitating the commercial exploitation of the TRU technology in Venezuela. Additionally, the parties are to share in long-term savings obtained from the use of the TRU technology in V enezuela on a ratio of a minimum of 25% of the savings for the account of Rival and Harrison Kramer.
CWI Technology, Inc. – develops and markets the CWI Technology a diesel engine technology for the automotive transportation industry called Continuous Water Injection technology. This technology is a continuous water injection system designed to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide and smoke emissions, improve fuel efficiency and provide cleaner operations of diesel engines. On January 26, 2007, the United States Patent and Trademark Office allowed the CWI technology patent titled, “Emission Control Water Injection System for Diesel Engines”.
CWI Technology has conducted several tests of its technology in various engines, but as of the date of this report, it has not finalized any agreements related to the licensing of this technology.
Plan of Operation
Our challenge for the next twelve months will be to obtain financing to develop our subsidiaries’ technologies to a commercially viable application and market them to customers. However, our subsidiaries may be unable to develop each technology to a point where it satisfies the needs of the market. In that case, our subsidiaries may have to research and develop other applications or we may need to abandon our business plans.
As reported in our last annual report on Form 10-KSB, our auditors have expressed an opinion that our continued existence is dependent upon the success of capital offerings or alternative financing arrangements and expansion of operations. As a result of equity financing, our consolidated cash position at June 30, 2007 was $115,488, and we had working capital of $48,438, but we recorded a net loss of $244,816 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007. Management believes that equity funding will provide cash for operations for the next twelve months and we are actively raising funds through equity transactions to proceed with the development of the subsidiaries’ technologies.
Rival Technologies agreed to provide $150,000 in financing to TRU Oiltech to fund research and tests aimed at obtaining a patent and developing a commercially viable process and, as of June 30, 2007, we had provided $220,577 towards this project. In addition, we committed to provide M.A. Turbo with $230,000 in development and marketing funds to complete the CWI Technology. As of June 30, 2007, we have provided $107,607 for this project.
During the past two years we relied on sales of our common stock for cash. As of May, 2006, we had sold an aggregate of 6,543,394 shares in a Regulation “S” offering and realized gross proceeds of $2,805,782. On April 6, 2007, we issued 25,000 Regulation “S” shares to Karsten Behrens in consideration for services valued at $15,353 related to this Regulation “S” offering. Regulation “S” provides for the offers and sales of restricted securities outside of the United States. These securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and cannot be offered or sold in the United States unless registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available.
11
During the six month period ended June 30, 2007, we spent $78,983 on research and development and we anticipate that we will have research and development expense in future periods as our subsidiaries further develop their technologies.
We do not anticipate hiring employees in the short term, but this action will be based upon the success of our subsidiaries’ technology development.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. This information is accumulated and communicated to our executive officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Financial Officer who is also our principal executive officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, she concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Her evaluation identified a weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to timely gathering of information and processing of that information to allow timely filing of our reports. We changed our independent registered accounting firm in April of 2006, but our financial information was not timely prepared and in June 2006 we returned to our former independent registered accounting firm in order to complete the filing of our past due reports. The change of accounting firms further delayed the filing of our reports. Management is taking steps to implement accelerated time tables for the gathering and processing of financial and non-financial information to prevent late filings in the future. Upon filing of this report we are current in our reporting obligations.
Other than as described above, our Chief Financial Officer determined that there were no changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
