OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
The Company is incorporated under the Company Act of British Columbia with its head office in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The Company was the exclusive licensed manufacturer and distributor worldwide of a brand of fire extinguishants and fire retardant products. The license agreement was terminated December 1999. During the three years ended December 2002, all sales were made to customers in North America. The Company does not expect any further sales of these products and has abandoned this business effective the three-month period beginning April 1, 2003.
During the period beginning April 1, 2003, the Company acquired a new technology for reducing diesel emissions and will now focus on developing and marketing this technology. The Company is considered to be a development stage company beginning April 1, 2003, as the Company has changed its business and no longer generates revenues from operations.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to raise substantial capital, maintain adequate financing arrangements and to generate profitable operations in the future. During 2001, control of the Company passed to a new group that is actively seeking to raise capital and to identify possible business acquisitions.
The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the issuance of common stock. Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company’s ability to complete equity financings or generate profitable operations in the future. Management’s plan in this regard is to secure additional funds through future equity financings. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting of normal recurring accruals) to present fairly the financial information contained therein. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2004. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Net 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. The dilutive effect of 27,000 (December 31, 2004 – 46,900) warrants is not reflected in net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
New accounting pronouncements
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Interpretation No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” ("FIN 46") (revised inDecember 17, 2003). The objective of FIN 46 is to improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities. A variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual retur ns or both. FIN 46 also requires disclosures about variable interest entities that a company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created afterDecember 15, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning afterMarch 15, 2004.
In December 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” (“SFAS 153”) which amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions” to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.
In December 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and its related implementation guidance by requiring entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions) and revises Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) as follows:

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)
New accounting pronouncements
i)
Public entities are required to measure liabilities incurred to employees in share-based payment transactions at fair value and nonpublic entities may elect to measure their liabilities to employees incurred in share-based payment transactions at their intrinsic value whereas under SFAS 123, all share-based payment liabilities were measured at their intrinsic value.
ii)
Nonpublic entities are required to calculate fair value using an appropriate industry sector index for the expected volatility of its share price if it is not practicable to estimate the expected volatility of the entity’s share price.
iii)
Entities are required to estimate the number of instruments for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered as opposed to accounting for forfeitures as they occur.
iv)
Incremental compensation cost for a modification of the terms or conditions of an award is measured by comparing the fair value of the modified award with the fair value of the award immediately before the modification whereas SFAS 123 required that the effects of a modification be measured as the difference between the fair value of the modified award at the date it is granted and the award’s value immediately before the modification determined based on the shorter of (1) its remaining initially estimated expected life or (2) the expected life of the modified award.
SFAS 123R also clarifies and expands guidance in several areas, including measuring fair value, classifying an award as equity or as a liability and attributing compensation cost to reporting periods. SFAS 123R does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS 123 as originally issued and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods and Services” (“EITF 96-18”).

INTANGIBLE PROPERTY
The Company acquired certain diesel engine technology (“CWI Technology”) from M.A. Turbo/Engine Ltd. (“M.A. Turbo”). It acquired a 100% interest in the CWI Technology for the automotive transportation industry and a 20% interest in the CWI Technology for the marine industry. The purchase agreement includes an option clause to acquire the balance of the marine application.
Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company has issued 35,000,000 restricted common shares. The Company has determined the value of the shares based on the market price of the securities under the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force No. 97-8 “Accounting for Contingent Consideration Issued in a Purchase Business Combination” and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 99-12 “Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination”. On the date of the acquisition agreement, the market value of the stock was $0.15 per share; however, the market value of the stock was adjusted as follows:
i)
A discount of approximately 23%, based upon published materials, was applied against the market value of the stock of $0.15 per share to reflect the thinly traded market in which the Company’s stock trades.
ii)
A premium of approximately 10%, based upon published materials, was applied against the market value of the stock of $0.15 per share to reflect the cost of issuing a significant number of shares that results in control of the Company passing to the vendors of the CWI Technology.
Accordingly, the Company determined the share price for this transaction to be approximately $0.13 per share. As a result, the cost recorded by the Company upon acquisition of the CWI Technology was $4,550,000.

INTANGIBLE PROPERTY(cont’d…)
Subsequent to the acquisition of the CWI Technology and under the guidance in Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the Company determined that carrying value of the CWI Technology exceeded the fair value which was estimated to be approximately $35,000 based upon expected future cash flows. Consequently, the Company recorded a charge in the consolidated statements of operations of $4,515,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003 as the carrying value of CWI Technology was written down to fair value in the year the impairment was recognized. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company determined a further write down was required and accordingly, a charge of $35,000 was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company has also committed to provide M.A. Turbo with $230,000 in development and marketing funds to complete the CWI Technology for the automotive transportation industry plus $100,000 for its 20% interest in the CWI Technology for the marine industry. At December 31, 2004, the Company has not incurred any costs related to these commitments.
In connection with the purchase of the CWI Technology, the Company entered into a contractor agreement for a one-year term. Under the agreement, the Company provided compensation of 150,000 common shares for services related to the acquisition.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
The following is management's discussion and analysis of significant factors that have affected the Company's financial position and operations during the three-month period ended March 31, 2005.
The financial statements of the Company are expressed in Canadian dollars. All figures herein are also expressed in Canadian dollars, except where specifically indicated in United States dollars.
General Overview
In the period beginning April 1, 2003, we acquired diesel engine technology for reducing engine emissions (“CWI Technology”) from M.A. Turbo/Engine Ltd. (“M.A. Turbo”). Specifically, we acquired a 100% interest in CWI Technology for the automotive transportation industry, and a 20% interest in CWI Technology for the marine industry. The purchase agreement includes an option clause to acquire the balance of the marine application.
Under the terms of the purchase agreement, we issued 35,000,000 restricted common shares. On the date of the acquisition agreement, the market value of the stock was $0.15 per share; however, the market value of the stock was adjusted as follows:
i)
A discount of approximately 23%, based upon published materials, was applied against the market value of the stock of $0.15 per share to reflect the thinly traded market in which our stock trades.
ii)
A premium of approximately 10%, based upon published materials, was applied against the market value of the stock of $0.15 per share to reflect the cost of issuing a significant number of shares that results in control of us passing to the vendors of the CWI Technology.
Accordingly, we determined the share price for this transaction to be approximately $0.13 per share. As a result, the cost recorded by us upon acquisition of the CWI Technology was $4,550,000.
We have also committed to provide M.A. Turbo with $230,000 in development and marketing funds to complete the CWI Technology for the automotive transportation industry, plus $100,000 for its 20% interest in CWI Technology for the marine industry. On June 1, 2004 we amended the Schedules to the Purchase Agreement in order to bring them current with our anticipated financing and development schedule. To date we have maintained our funding commitment in accordance with these Schedules.
In connection with the purchase of the CWI Technology, we entered into a contractor agreement for a one-year term. Under the contractor agreement, we agreed to provide compensation of 150,000 common shares for services related to the acquisition. The shares have been issued and delivered.
In April, 2005, we decided not to exercise our right to acquire a 20% interest in CWI Technology for the marine industry and, as a result have returned to treasury 3,000,000 common shares attributable to this technology and will not be required to pay the US$100,000. We intend to focus our development efforts on the automotive transportation industry.
The principle followed in determining the number of shares issued by us was the estimated value of CWI Technology, and our lack of assets or revenue. At the time of the transaction, there was no relationship between ourselves and the owners of CWI Technology, our officers, directors or persons owning 10% or more of the our common stock.
We have entered into Marketing Agreement with MA Turbo allowing it to market the marine application of CWI Technology and providing us with a 15% commission on any sales. In this regard we have also entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Advanced Engineering Services of Milan Italy to assist in marketing the marine application of CWI Technology in Europe. This marketing effort is in process and firm contracts are being sought from a number of European shipbuilders.
We are actively working on raising funds needed to proceed with our plans for CWI Technology. In April, 2004 the Company executed a Trust Declaration with a German lawyer. The Trust Declaration relates to Reg S common shares that they will be sold to European investors under a separate Berlin Stock Exchange Reg S listing, with the Company receiving the net proceeds from the sale of these shares.
The Company has transferred 4,000,000 shares of common stock to a trustee for the sole purpose of selling the shares of common stock. The trustee will receive a trustee fee equal to 3% of the selling value of the Reg S shares of common stock. The Company’s agent will receive a financing fee equal to 47% of the selling value of the Reg S shares of common stock. Any shares of common stock not sold by the trustee will be returned to the Company at their request. As of the date hereof approximately 1,389,113 Reg S common shares have been sold and the Company has received or is owed net proceeds there from of approximately 679,669.60 Euros. An additional 250,000 Reg S common shares were transferred in accordance with the terms of a financing agreement and an additional 5,000 Reg S common shares were transferred in accordance with the terms of an investor relations agreement.
On April 25, 2005, we entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement with UTEK Corporation, whereby we retained UTEK to search for technologies at universities and research institutions that we may wish to acquire. UTEK has been paid for the service for a period of one year through our issue of 120,000 restricted common shares. The agreement provides for a structure whereby Rival may acquire additional technologies through the issue of additional restricted common share, subject to Rival’s further agreement in this regard.
We have been and will continue to engage in the business of developing, marketing and distributing environmental products. We have no employees at this time.
Results of Operations
Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2005, compared to March 31, 2005.
We have had no revenues from the beginning of the development stage on April 1, 2003.
General and Administrative expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, were $148,460 as compared to $56,590 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, representing an increase of 162%. This increase was primarily attributed to Research and Development costs relating to the development of CWI Technology plus increased administrative and investor relations costs expenses relating to our financing.
The Company incurred $36,955 in Research and Development costs during the three-month period ended March 31, 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We completed the exercise of 19,900 warrants at US$0.35 per warrant during the 3 month period ending March 31, 2005, for total proceeds of Cdn$8,328.80. We will issue 19,900 shares of common stock in this regard subsequent to the end of this quarterly period.
We completed the sale of 1,389,113 Reg S shares of common stock during the 3 month period ending March 31, 2005, for total proceeds of 679,669.60 Euros.
Rival's cash position at March 31, 2005, was $933,691 as compared to $62,611 at December 31, 2004, representing an increase of 1,391%.
Rival's net working capital position (current assets less current liabilities) increased to $675,697 at March 31, 2005, from negative ($176,374) at December 31, 2004, due primarily to the sale of Reg S common stock and conversion of warrants.
During the three-month period ending March 31, 2005, the Company met all cash flow needs from the sale of Reg S shares of common stock and the exercise of warrants.
