March 31, 2008 Form 10-Q
Dear Mr. O’Brien,
This letter is response to your comment letter dated August 5, 2008 regarding the above identified report of Rival Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”). The Company is filing via EDGAR this response letter and an Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10-K.
We have restated your comments on the following pages and each comment is followed by the Company’s responses.
Comment 1.
The audit reports in the filing do not indicate whether the 2006 restatement has been audited. In this regard, we note that Chisholm, Bierwolf & Nilson did not audit the 2006 financial statements and that Dohan and Company’s report on the 2006 financial statements is not dual dated. Please obtain and file a revised audit report that clearly reflects compliance with the guidance in paragraphs 72-73 of AU Section 508.74 to the Codified Section of AICPA Professional Standards.
Response: The Company has included a revised audit report from Dohan and Company that is dual dated. See pages 5 and 6 of the amended 10-K.
Comment 2.
Please note that two years of audited Balance Sheet data are required in your 10-K filings. Also, in future filings, please also include a Balance Sheet as of the preceding fiscal year. See Articles 8-02 and 8-03 of Regulation S-X.
Response: The Company has included the financial data from the year ended December 31, 2006 in the revised balance sheet. See page 7 of the amended 10-K. In the future the Company will undertake to provide the preceding fiscal year financial information in its Balance Sheet.
