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 statements be read in conjunction with the Compan y'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 nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006:

NOTE 3 -
GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $506,915 during the nine-month period ended September 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 Company be unable to continue as a goi ng concern. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $436,255. 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 $5,910,000 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 September 30, 2007.
Deferred tax asset:

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 licensing and marketing stage for these technologies.
During the third quarter of 2007 Douglas B. Thomas was appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer of Rival Technologies (See Part II, Item 5, below). He brings extensive worldwide oilfield experience to the company and his experience will be useful as we move to commercialize our recently patented TRU™ process and TRULITE™ synthetic crude oil. Also during the third quarter of 2997, we engaged Chisholm, Bierwolf & Nilson, LLC, Certified Public Accountants, as our independent registered public accounting firm. We believe these changes have improved our position for further development of the company and our subsidiaries, described below.
TRU Oiltech, Inc. – develops and markets the TRU™ process 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. The TRU process creates TRULITE™ synthetic crude oil. 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™ 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.
TRU Oiltech intends to seek out partnerships with oil producers that will lead to licensing revenue from the commercial use of the TRU™ process. During the first quarter of 2007 Rival Technologies and TRU Oiltech entered into a joint venture agreement with Harrison Kramer Corp. (“Harrison Kramer”) to begin commercialization of the TRU™ process in Venezuela. The joint venture agreement 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
10
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 Venezuela on a ratio of a minimum of 25% of the savings for the account of Rival and Harrison Kramer. This joint venture will be accounted for in our financial statements as a majority-owned subsidiary, adjusted for any majority interest.
During the third quarter of 2007 TRU Oiltech has targeted the heavy oil upgrading market and has initiated negotiations with potential development partners. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in negotiating a final contract with these development partners.
CWI Technology, Inc. – develops and markets the patented 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. 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
We have not received, nor recorded, consolidated revenue from ongoing operations for the past two years and have relied on equity transactions and loans to fund development of our business plan. 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. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of equity financing sufficient enough to develop operations that will generate revenues to fund our operations.
During the past two years we have relied on sales of our common stock for cash and issued common stock in consideration for services. During 2006 we sold an aggregate of 6,543,394 shares in a Regulation S offering and realized gross proceeds of $2,805,782. 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. We also issue common stock to service providers rather than use our cash. During the 2007 third quarter we issued an aggregate of 375,000 shares of common stock valued at $161,250 under The 2005 Equity Incentive Plan of Rival Technologies, Inc. to individuals who had provided administrative services to us.
During the 2007 third quarter we borrowed $500,000 at 7% interest per annum from Epsom Investment Services NV (“Epsom”). The promissory note is payable on or before July 30, 2008, but Epsom has the option to convert the principal and interest outstanding at the end of the term into Rival common stock. The conversion price will be the closing market value of the common stock on the last trading day prior to the date Epsom provides Rival with written notice of conversion.
As a result of equity financing and loans our consolidated cash position at September 30, 2007 was $436,255 but we recorded a net loss of $506,915 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. During the nine month period ended September 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’ development of their respective technology.
Our challenge for the next twelve months will be to obtain financing to assist the development of our subsidiaries’ technologies to a commercially viable application and then 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.

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.

Our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our principal financial 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, he concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Our Chief Executive Officer determined that there were no changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
