Notes to the Financial Statements |

(Unaudited) |
1. | Interim Reporting |
||
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by REGI U.S., Inc. (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. |
|||
The results of operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2007 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. |
|||
2. | Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business |
||
The Company was incorporated in the State of Oregon, U.S.A. on July 27, 1992. |
|||
The Company is a development stage company engaged in the business of developing and commercially exploiting an improved axial vane type rotary engine known as the Rand Cam/Direct Charge Engine (the RC/DC Engine). The world-wide marketing and intellectual rights, other than in the U.S., are held by Reg Technologies, Inc. (Reg), a major shareholder who owns 13% of the Companys issued and outstanding stock and controls the Company. The Company owns the U.S. marketing and intellectual rights and has a project cost sharing agreement, whereby it will fund 50% of the further development of the RC/DC Engine and Reg will fund 50%. |
|||
In a development stage company, management devotes most of its activities to establishing a new business. Planned principal activities have not yet produced any revenues and the Company has suffered recurring operating losses as is normal in development stage companies. The Company has accumulated losses of $8,748,206 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going-concern. The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage with respect to its planned principal business activity is dependent upon its successful efforts to raise additional equity financing, receive funding from affiliates and controlling shareholders, and develop a market for its products. |
|||
The Company plans to raise funds through loans from Rand Energy Group Inc. (Rand), a private company with officers and directors in common with the Company. Further, Rand owns approximately 11% of the shares of the Company, and may sell shares as needed to meet ongoing funding requirements if traditional equity sources of financing prove to be insufficient. The Company also receives interim support from affiliated companies and plans to raise additional capital through debt and/or equity financings. There continues to be insufficient funds to provide enough working capital to fund ongoing operations for the next twelve months. The Company may also raise additional funds through the exercise of warrants and stock options, if exercised. |
|||
3. | Common Stock |
||
(a) | Stock-Option Plan |
||
The Company has a Stock Option Plan to issue up to 2,500,000 shares to certain key directors and employees, approved April 30, 1993 and amended December 5, 2000. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company has granted stock options to certain directors and employees. |
|||
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based awards under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” using the intrinsic value method of accounting, under which compensation expense was only recognized if the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options was less than the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R “Share Based Payments”, using the modified retrospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Results for prior periods have not been restated. There was no change to the Company income from operations for the period ended January 31, 2007, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB No. 25. | |||
All options granted by the Company have the following vesting schedule: |
|||
(i) | Up to 25% of the option may be exercised at any time during the term of the option, such initial exercise is referred to as the First Exercise. |
||
(ii) | The second 25% of the option may be exercised at any time after 90 days from the date of First Exercise, such second exercise is referred to as the Second Exercise. |
||
(iii) | The third 25% of the option may be exercised at any time after 90 days from the date of Second Exercise, such third exercise is referred to as the Third Exercise. |
||
(iv) | The fourth and final 25% of the option may be exercised at any time after 90 days from the date of the Third Exercise. |
||
(v) | The options expire sixty months from the date of grant. |

|
(a) | Stock Option Plan (continued) |
|
On June 29, 2006, the Company granted 25,000 stock options to a consultant exercisable at $2.09 per share, up to June 29, 2011. The fair value of options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black- Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions: risk free interest rate of 5.05%, expected volatility of 161%, an expected option life of 2.5 years and no expected dividends. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $1.69 per option. |
||
On November 1, 2006, the Company granted 125,000 stock options to two employees exercisable at $1.37 per share, up to November 1, 2011. The fair value of options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions: risk free interest rate of 4.53%, expected volatility of 152%, an expected option life of 2.5 years and no expected dividends. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $1.07 per option. |
||
On January 30, 2007, the Company granted 200,000 stock options to a consultant exercisable at $1.30 per share, up to January 30, 2012. The fair value of options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black- Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions: risk free interest rate of 4.86%, expected volatility of 152%, an expected option life of 2.5 years and no expected dividends. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $0.73 per option. |
||
During the period ended January 31, 2007, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $92,262 as general and administrative expense. |
||
Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. The subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Companys stock option. |

Warrants outstanding | 2,279,167 | 750,000 |
(c) | On November 17, 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, whereby an investor agreed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of the Companys common stock over a term of 36 months at the Companys discretion. Each purchase will be for a minimum of $150,000 and up to a maximum of the lessor of: $750,000, or 200% of the average weighted volume for the Companys common stock for the 20 trading days prior to the date of purchase. Each purchase will be at a 15% discount to the market price of the Companys common stock over the 10 trading days prior to the purchase. |
|
In connection with the equity line of credit, the Company issued to the investor a warrant (Investor warrant) to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $1.30 per share (the Exercise Price) for 5 years, and to an agent a warrant (Placement warrant) to purchase 640,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $1.30 per share for 5 years. If the Company fails to register the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Investor or Placement warrant, the holder is entitled to exercise the warrant and receive, for no consideration, a certificate equal to the number of shares obtained by subtracting the Exercise Price of the warrant for the volume weighted average price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of such election and multiplying that amount by the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrant. |
||
The Company filed an SB-2 Registration Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission that was declared effective February 9, 2007, to register shares of common stock potentially issuable under this equity line of credit (6,160,000 shares) and the related warrants (1,640,000 shares). |
||
Pursuant to the agreement, if the Company issues any common stock, or rights to acquire common stock at a price less than the Exercise Price, the Exercise Price will be adjusted to the lower price. In addition, the number of shares issuable will be increased such that the aggregate exercise price after adjustment is equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to adjustment. |
||
Subsequent to the issuance of the warrant, the Company completed an equity financing at $1.00 per share. The issuance of the Company’s common shares lowered the Exercise Price of the Investor warrants to $1.00 and increased the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant to 2,132,000 shares. The Company recognized the change in fair value of the warrants of $222,681 as share issuance costs. |

|
(c) | Share Purchase Warrants (continued) |
|
The company has determined that, in accordance with SFAS 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Hedges, the warrants are not derivative instruments and accordingly guidance in EITF 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock relating to net cash settlement versus net share settlement should be followed. The contract permits the Company to settle in unregistered shares, the Company has a sufficient number of un-issued authorized shares available to settle the contract, and there is an explicit limit on the number of shares to be delivered in a share settlement. As the issuance of shares and thus the modification of the exercise price is wholly under the control of the Company and the Company has the ability to control net-settlement, these warrants have been classified as equity and their fair value of $1,338,725 has been recognized as share issuance costs. |
||
(d) | In the previous fiscal year, the Company received subscriptions of $3,750 upon the exercise of stock options for 18,750 shares issued during the period ended January 31, 2007. |
|
(e) | During the period ended January 31, 2007, the Company issued 173,500 shares upon the exercise of stock options for proceeds of $46,188. |
|
(f) | During the period ended January 31, 2007, the Company issued 110,833 shares at $0.80 per share upon the exercise of warrants for proceeds of $88,666. |
|

Forward Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements. The words, anticipate, believe, expect, plan, intend, estimate, project, could, may, foresee, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's Financial Statements and other financial information included elsewhere in this report which contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this report.
Overview
REGI U.S., Inc. was incorporated in the State of Oregon, USA on July 27, 1992.
The Company is a development stage company engaged in the business of developing and commercially exploiting an improved axial vane type rotary engine known as the Rand Cam/Direct Charge Engine (the RC/DC Engine). The world-wide marketing and intellectual rights, other than in the U.S., are held by Reg Technologies, Inc. (Reg), a major shareholder who owns 13% of the Companys issued and outstanding stock and controls the Company. The Company owns the U.S. marketing and intellectual rights and has a project cost sharing agreement, whereby it will fund 50% of the further development of the RC/DC Engine and Reg will fund 50%.
In a development stage company, management devotes most of its activities to establishing a new business. Planned principal activities have not yet produced any revenues and the Company has suffered recurring operating losses as is normal in development stage companies. The Company has a working capital deficit of $362,081 and has accumulated losses of $8,748,206 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going-concern. The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage with respect to its planned principal business activity is dependent upon its successful efforts to raise additional equity financing, receive funding from affiliates and controlling shareholders, and develop a market for its products.
The Company plans to raise funds through loans from Rand Energy Group Inc. (Rand), a private company with officers and directors in common with the Company. Further, Rand owns approximately 11% of the shares of the Company as at January 31, 2007, and may sell shares as needed to meet ongoing funding requirements if traditional equity sources of financing prove to be insufficient. The Company also receives interim support from affiliated companies and plans to raise additional capital through debt and/or equity financings. There continues to be insufficient funds to provide enough working capital to fund ongoing operations for the next twelve months. The Company may also raise additional funds through the exercise of warrants and stock options, if exercised.
On November 17, 2006, Company completed a transaction with Dresden Investments Ltd. (Dresden) including an equity line of credit and a warrant.
(1) EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT. The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the SPA) with Dresden whereby Dresden agrees to purchase up to 10,000,000 of the Companys common stock over a term of 36 months at the discretion of the Company. Each draw down will be a minimum of $150,000 up to a maximum of the lesser of $750,000 or 200% of the average weighted volume for the Companys common stock for the 20 trading days prior to date of purchase. Each purchase will be at a 15% discount to the market price of the Companys common stock over the 10 trading days prior to the draw down. The SPA provides that the Company may set a threshold price for each draw down below which the Company will not sell common stock.
(2) WARRANT. Dresden received a five (5) year warrant for one million (1,000,000) shares of common stock with an exercise price of One Dollar and Thirty Cents ($1.30) per share.
3
The following agreements were entered into in connection with these transactions: Securities Purchase Agreement; Registration Rights Agreement; and Common Stock Purchase Warrant.
The shares of common stock to be issued under the equity line have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
JH Darbie & Co., Inc., our investment banker, arranged the equity line of credit, and will receive a fee and five year warrants, for the financing.
Funds realized from the Equity Line of Credit will be used for general working capital purposes.
Progress Report
Rand Cam Technology
On January 3, 2007, we announced that we had successfully completed a statement of work agreement with an engineering, prototyping, and manufacturing services company to complete a working model RadMax pump.
The Phase I program is to design, demonstrate, and deliver a prototype RadMax pump within 16 weeks. The goal for the work program is to complete a pump suitable for supporting demonstration to potential customers and to prove that the RadMax pump is a positive displacement device, capable of processing approximately twice its internal volume every revolution, which means that a production unit could be half the size and weight of any competitive unit.
The Phase II program will be to design and demonstrate a working model RadMax compressor to prove the same efficiency as the RadMax pump, which will be half the size and weight of any competitive centrifugal compressor.
On January 30, 2007 we announced the following RadMax product development status:
Next testing steps include:

Results of operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2007 (2007) compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2006 (2006)
There were no revenues from product licensing during the periods.
The net loss in 2007 increased by $257,287 to $969,396 compared to $712,109 in 2006 due to an increase in Administrative expenses of $191,849 to $838,088 from $646,239 in 2006, and an increase in Research and Development expenses of $65,438 to $131,308 compared to $65,870 in 2006.
Liquidity
During the nine months ended January 31, 2007, we financed our operations mainly by receiving support from related parties in the amount of $244,810, and by receiving proceeds of $241,350 from the issuance of common stock. The amounts from related parties are non-interest bearing, unsecured and repayable on demand. The related parties have indicated that they will advance further funds if needed.
As at January 31, 2007, we had a working capital deficit of $362,081. Working capital is not adequate to meet development costs for the next twelve months. Unexercised stock options and warrants, if exercised could raise significant additional funds. We receive interim support from our ultimate parent company and plan to raise additional funds from equity financing which we have negotiated. We also plan to raise approximately $1,000,000 through loans from a shareholder (Rand). Rand owns approximately 11% of the shares of the Company, having an approximate current market value of $2,751,000 as at January 31, 2007, and plans to sell shares as needed to meet our ongoing funding requirements if traditional equity sources of financing prove to be insufficient.

(a) | On November 17, 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, whereby an investor agreed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of the Companys common stock over a term of 36 months at the Companys discretion. Each purchase will be for a minimum of $150,000 and up to a maximum of the lessor of: $750,000, or 200% of the average weighted volume for the Companys common stock for the 20 trading days prior to the date of purchase. Each purchase will be at a 15% discount to the market price of the Companys common stock over the 10 trading days prior to the purchase. |

In connection with the equity line of credit, the Company issued to the investor a warrant (Investor warrant) to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $1.30 per share (the Exercise Price) for 5 years, and to an agent a warrant (Placement warrant) to purchase 640,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $1.30 per share for 5 years. If the Company fails to register the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Investor or Placement warrant, the holder is entitled to exercise the warrant and receive, for no consideration, a certificate equal to the number of shares obtained by subtracting the Exercise Price of the warrant for the volume weighted average price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of such election and multiplying that amount by the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrant. |

In addition, the number of shares issuable will be increased such that the aggregate exercise price after adjustment is equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to adjustment. |
