(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Expressed in Canadian Dollars
March 31, 2008
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 Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
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. Common stock equivalents, consisting of 1,032,875 in convertible note payable and accrued interest and 18,000 in options were considered but were not included in the computation of loss per share at March 31, 2008 because they would have been anti-dilutive.
Following is a reconciliation of the loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:

NOTE 3 -
GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $93,543 during the three month period ended March 31, 2008. In addition, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $363,819 at March 31, 2008. These factors, 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 going concern. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $251,391.
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 2008 and 2009. 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.
The Company has approximately $6,290,000 of operating loss carry-forwards, which expire in various periods through 2028. 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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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. CWI Technology, Inc. is developing the Continuous Water Injection technology (“CWI Technology”), which is designed to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide and smoke emissions, improve fuel efficiency and provide cleaner operations of diesel engines. TRU Oiltech, Inc. is developing the TRU ™ process, which is a mild, thermal reagent, primary upgrading process designed for heavy crude and oil sands bitumen which improves viscosity for acceptance by pipeline transportation systems. Both subsidiaries are development stage companies in the licensing and marketing stage for their technologies.
During the past quarter our management has been actively meeting with heavy oil producers to negotiate license agreements for the TRU™ process. In January 2008 we announced that TRU Oiltech had contracted with an independent engineering consultant to provide an unbiased linear program analysis of our synthetic crude product TRULITE™. In April we received that report which expressed concern regarding our testing methods and it recommended that we alter our testing methodology by undertaking a continuous feed pilot program that would simulate to a reasonable degree the expected operating conditions for a commercial production thermal cracker-solvent extraction process. However, management believes that the TRU™ process will provide benefits and the operation of a commercial unit can be projected from the existing test results. We intend to seek out oil industry partners to participate in the continuing testing phase for the commercial development of the TRU™ process.
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 subsidiaries’ business plans. At March 31, 2008 we have cash and cash equivalents of $251,391, but we had negative working capital of $363,849. We will need to raise funds during the next twelve months and management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing and targeting strategic partners to increase income.
During the past two years we have relied on debt financing and sales of our common stock for cash, and to avoid using our cash we have issued common stock in consideration for services. For the three month period ended March 31, 2008 we have not recognized any cash flows from financing activities. 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 technologies. As of the date of this filing, we do not expect to purchase or sell a plant or equipment.
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 for the technologies or abandon the technologies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure 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 officers to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer, who also is 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.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible to design or supervise a process to be effected by our board of directors that provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The policies and procedures include:
$
maintenance of records in reasonable detail to accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets,
$
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors, and
$
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Our management determined that there were no changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On February 15, 2008 we granted options to purchase 18,000 common shares to Leonardo G. Zangani in consideration for business development consulting services (See Item 5, below). The options have an exercise price of $0.55US and expire on August 15, 2013. We relied on an exemption from registration for a private transaction not involving a public distribution provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Non-reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements
In connection with our audit for the year ended December 31, 2007 management of Rival Technologies, Inc. discovered the minority interest in our subsidiary had been improperly recorded in the year ended December 31, 2006. Accordingly, on March 31, 2008 our Chief Financial Officer concluded that previously issued financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and the interim periods for those years should no longer be relied upon. Investors, potential investors and other readers of our SEC filings are cautioned not to rely on the financial statements that have not been restated for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the interim periods for that fiscal year.
The facts underlying the conclusion are as follows: During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, Rival’s majority-owned subsidiary, TRU Oiltech, incurred net losses of $171,101 and $38,880, respectively. We erroneously recorded the
13
proportionate share of the net losses, $68,440 and $15,552, as minority interest on the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of other comprehensive loss, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Only $4,000 of the $15,552 net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 should have been recorded as minority interest, reducing the minority shareholders basis to zero. No additional amount of the net loss should have been recorded to minority interest for the year ended December 31, 2006 since the minority shareholder’s initial investment had already been reduced to $0 during the year ended December 31, 2005. These corrections changed our net loss of $612,188 to $543,748.
Our Chief Financial Officer discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm, Chisholm Bierwolf and Nilson, LLC, the matters disclosed in this report. These adjustments appeared in the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed April 2, 2008.
Material Agreement
On February 15, 2008 Rival entered into a consulting agreement with L.G. Zangani, LLC (“Zangani”). Under the agreement Zangani will provide business development consulting to Rival for a six month period, terminating on August 15, 2008. Rival agreed to pay Zangani $5,000 in advance for each month of service and granted options to Leonardo G. Zangani to purchase 18,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.55 US. The options expire August 15, 2013. Zangani will receive a three percent (3%) success fee only if as a result of its services Rival commences a commercial or financial relationship with one or more companies during the term of the agreement and within one year following the termination of the agreement. The success fee is payable for a consecutive five year period following the commencement of the commercial relationship.
As additional consideration under the consulting agreement, in the event the agreement is renewed, then Rival agreed to grant to Mr. Zangani additional options to purchase 3,000 shares for every month of the renewal period at a price equal to the closing price of the common stock the day before the renewal date.
