NOTE 1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of REGI U.S., Inc. (“REGI”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended April 30, 2010 filed on Form 10-K with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any future period. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2010 as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.  

Derivative Financial Instruments

REGI does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.  REGI evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based derivative financial instruments, REGI uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates.  The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.  Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Fair Value Measurements

As defined in FASB ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). REGI utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. REGI classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by FASB ASC 820 are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources.  These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

F-4

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy REGI’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of January 31, 2011.

NOTE 2.   GOING CONCERN

REGI incurred net losses of $126,537 for the nine months ended January 31, 2011, has a working capital deficit of $1,500,603 and an accumulated deficit of $10,669,831 at January 31, 2011.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of REGI to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  As a result, REGI’s consolidated financial statements as of January 31, 2011 and for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2011 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

REGI plans to raise funds through loans from Rand Energy Group Inc. (“Rand”), a private company with officers and directors in common with REGI.  Further, Rand owns approximately 9% of the shares of REGI, and may sell shares as needed to meet ongoing funding requirements if traditional equity sources of financing prove to be insufficient. REGI also receives interim support from other 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.  REGI may also raise additional funds through the exercise of warrants and stock options, if exercised.  There is no assurance that any of these activities will be successful.

NOTE 3.   RELATED PARTIES

Amounts due to and from related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.  Related parties consist of companies controlled or significantly influenced by the President of REGI.  As at January 31, 2011, there was no balance due from related parties and $1,263,010 due to related parties.  

As part of an agreement with a professional law firm in which a partner of the firm is an officer and director of REGI, REGI agreed to pay a cash fee equal to 5% of any financings with parties introduced to REGI by the law firm.  REGI also agreed to pay an equity fee equal to 5% of the equity issued by REGI to parties introduced by the law firm, in the form of options, warrants or common stock.  During the nine-month periods ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, fees of $46 and $1,306, respectively, for legal services have been paid or accrued to the law firm.

During the nine month period ended January 31, 2011, the President, CEO and director of REGI provided consulting services to REGI valued at $67,500, which were accounted for as donated capital and charged to expense during the period.  The same amount was recorded in the nine month period ended January 31, 2010.

During the nine month period ended January 31, 2011, the Vice President and director of REGI provided consulting services to REGI valued at $22,500, which were accounted for as donated capital and charged to expense during the period.  The same amount was recorded in the nine month period ended January 31, 2010.

F-5

During the nine month period ended January 31, 2011, the CFO, COO and director of REGI provided consulting services to REGI valued at $22,500, which were accounted for as donated capital and charged to expense during the period.  The same amount was recorded in the nine month period ended January 31, 2010.

During the nine month periods ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, project management fees of $56,250 and $44,550, respectively were paid to a company having common officers and directors.

REGI currently utilizes office space in a commercial business park building located in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, a suburb of Vancouver, shared by several companies related by common officers and directors.  REGI does not pay rent for this office space.

NOTE 4.   STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

a)

Common Stock Options and Warrants 

During the nine month periods ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded stock options expense of $66,057 and $215,300, respectively.  At January 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had $416,014 and $513,142, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and warrants, which will be recognized over future periods.

On May 21, 2010, REGI extended the term of the options that were granted on May 27, 2005 and originally expiring on May 27, 2010 to May 27, 2015. The options are exercisable at $0.45 per share. The incremental increase in the fair value of stock options was estimated to be $13,679 of which $3,420 was expensed during the nine months ended January 31, 2011 (included in the $66,057 stated above) and $10,259 will be recognized over future periods. The incremental increase in the fair value of the options was estimated at the date of extension using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 0.95%, expected volatility between 41% and 160%, expected terms between 0.02 and 5.02 years and no expected dividends.

A summary of REGI’s stock option activity for the nine months ended January 31, 2011 is as follows:

	Nine Months Ended January 31, 2011
	Options	Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at beginning of period	1,192,000	$   0.54
Granted	-
Exercised	(27,000)	1.30
Expired	-	-
Cancelled	-	-
Outstanding at end of period	1,165,000	0.52
Exercisable at end of period	977,500	0.55
Weighted average fair value of options granted		$       -

At January 31, 2011, the range of exercise prices and the weighted average remaining contractual life of the outstanding options was $0.20 to $1.30 per share and 1.59 years, respectively. The intrinsic value of “in the money” exercisable options at January 31, 2011 was zero.  

A summary of REGI’s common stock warrant activity for the nine months ended January 31, 2011 is as follows:

F-6

	Nine Months Ended January 31, 2011
	Warrants	Weighted  Average  Exercise  Price

Outstanding at end of period	3,592,950		1.15
Exercisable at end of period	3,174,200		1.15
Weighted average fair value of warrants granted		$	-

At January 31, 2011, the range of exercise prices and the weighted average remaining contractual life of the outstanding warrants was $0.25 to $2.20 per share and 1.05 years, respectively.  The intrinsic value of “in the money” exercisable warrants at January 31, 2011 was zero.

b)

Non-Cash Consideration 

During the nine months ended January 31, 2011, a consultant exercised options to purchase 27,000 shares. The exercise price for these options totaled $35,100. REGI accepted services in lieu of cash for the exercise price, which resulted in additional expense of $35,100 for services rendered.

NOTE 5.   WARRANT DERIVATIVES

Effective May 1, 2009, ASC 815-15 establishes a procedure to determine if an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own common stock. 2,059,000 of REGI’s warrants that were previously classified in equity were reclassified to derivative liabilities on May 1, 2009 due to the presence of a reset feature that allows for a reduction in the strike price of the warrant in the event that REGI issues similar instruments at a lower strike price in a future period.  REGI estimated the fair value of these liabilities as of May 1, 2009 to be $280,488 and recorded a decrease of $2,380,696 to Additional Paid-in Capital and a reduction of $2,100,208 to Accumulated Deficit.

These warrants were fair valued as at January 31, 2011.  The fair value of the warrants at January 31, 2011 was determined to be $96,707 resulting in a gain on the decrease in fair value of derivatives of $298,415 for the nine months ended January 31, 2011.  

REGI used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the warrants using the following assumptions in the January 31, 2011 valuation: number of warrants as set forth in the warrant agreements; no expected dividend yield; expected volatility of 191%; risk-free interest rate of 0.26%; and expected term of 0.79 year.

REGI evaluated all other outstanding warrants under FASB 815-15 and determined that they did not qualify as derivatives.

NOTE 6.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During February, 2011, a consultant exercised warrants to purchase 3,000 common shares.  The exercise price for these warrants totaled $3,900.  REGI accepted services in lieu of cash for the exercise price, which resulted in additional expense of $3,900 for services rendered.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute "forward-looking statements."  These statements, identified by words such as “plan,” "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "should," "expect" and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy.  These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements.  Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth in our 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010.  We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), particularly our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.

All dollar amounts in this Quarterly Report are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

Plan of Operation

We are a development stage company engaged in the business of developing and building an improved axial vane-type rotary engine known as the RadMax® rotary technology (the “RadMax® Engine”), used in the design of lightweight and high efficiency engines, compressors and pumps.  We have a project cost sharing agreement, whereby the further development of the RadMax® Engine will be funded equally by us and by Reg Technologies Inc. (“Reg Tech”), a public company listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange.  Reg Tech holds approximately 11% of our issued and outstanding shares.  

Our plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this report is to continue our research and development on the technology.  During the next 12 months we are committed to expend an aggregate of $625,000 for research and development activities, identified as master design integrator, prototype fabrication, and labor expense, estimated at $50,000 each over the next 12 months.

As well, we anticipate spending an additional $640,000 for general and administrative expenses, including fees we will incur in complying with reporting obligations.  Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be $53,000 per month.

We have not yet produced any revenues and have suffered recurring operating losses.  As of January 31, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $1,500,603 compared to a working capital deficit of $1,587,723 at April 30, 2010.  Further losses are expected until we enter into a licensing agreement with a manufacturer and reseller.  Our only assets at January 31, 2011 are prepaid expenses of $38,318 for research work on the RadMax® rotary technology and cash of $2,979.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ending January 31, 2011 Compared to the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2010

We incurred a net loss of $126,537 during the nine months ended January 31, 2011, compared to a net loss of $784,993 during the nine months ended January 31, 2010, resulting in a decrease in net loss of $658,456.  

2

This significant decrease in 2011 was mainly due to the current period’s gain on the change in fair value of derivative liability of $298,415 versus a gain of $4,676 in the same period last year.

Research and development expenses decreased from $126,883 in 2010 to $80,992 in 2011.  The decrease resulted from our reduced need of an engineering consultant during the current period.

In addition, during the nine months ended January 31, 2011 we continued our efforts to reduce costs and decreased the following expenses from the period ended January 31, 2010:

Ÿ

Professional fees including legal, accounting, audit and auditors’ review expenses decreased from $48,311 in 2010 to $41,432 in 2011, and consulting and management fees decreased from $277,324 in 2010 to $122,080 in 2011 as a result of our streamlined operations in 2011;

Ÿ

Wages and benefits not shared with Reg Tech decreased from $25,280 in 2010 to zero in 2011 as we terminated an employment contract with an employee working on shareholder communications in 2010;

Ÿ

Shareholder communication and investor relations expenses decreased from $56,034 in 2010 to $39,467 in 2011 due to management’s efforts in utilizing more cost effective channels communicate with investors and potential investors; and

Ÿ

Travel expenses decreased from $14,746 in 2010 to $5,594 in 2011 due to significantly reduced travel by research and development personnel in 2011.

Office and administrative expenses increased from $8,121 in 2010 to $58,180 in 2011.  The increase was due to expenses evenly shared with Reg Tech pursuant to an agreement between the two companies, which expenses were not allocated to us in 2010;

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine months ended January 31, 2011, with the downturn in the financial market, we financed our operations mainly through net proceeds of $246,296 from related parties. The total amount owing to related parties is $1,263,010 or 82% of total liabilities as at January 31, 2011.  

This funding from related parties was necessary with a downturn in the financial market to complete the RadMax® Engine and place us in a position to attain profit.  The balances owing to related parties are non-interest bearing, unsecured and repayable on demand.  Our affiliated companies have indicated that they will not be demanding repayment of these funds during the next fiscal year and will advance, or pay expenses on our behalf.

We also plan to raise additional capital through debt and/or equity financings.  We cannot provide any assurance that additional funding will be available to finance our operations on acceptable terms in order to enable us to complete our plan of operations.  There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing.  If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue the development of our RadMax® Engine and our business will fail.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified certain accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations.  Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended January 31, 2011, attached hereto.

In June 2008, the FASB finalized FASB ASC 815-15 which establishes a procedure to determine if an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own common stock.  FASB ASC 815-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  2,059,000 of our share purchase warrants that were previously classified in equity were reclassified to derivative liabilities on May 1, 2009 due to the presence of a reset feature that allows for a reduction in the strike price of the warrant in the event that we issue similar instruments at a lower strike price in a future period.  We estimated the fair value of these liabilities as of May 1, 2009 to be $280,488 and recorded a decrease of $2,380,696 to Additional Paid-in Capital and a reduction of $2,100,208 to Accumulated Deficit.

These warrants were fair valued as at January 31, 2011 and marked-to-market at that date.  The fair value of the warrants at January 31, 2011 was $96,707, resulting in a gain on the decrease in fair value of derivatives of $298,415 for the nine months ended January 31, 2011.

Contractual Obligations

We do not currently have any contractual obligations requiring any payment obligation from us.

Item 3.  

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 4.  

Controls and Procedures

(a)  

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures performed by our management, with participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment.  

As used herein, “disclosure controls and procedures” mean controls and other procedures of our company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and

4

communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our disclosure controls.  During the period covered by this interim report, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management, and adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. These remediation efforts are largely dependent upon securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required.  If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected.

(b)  

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  Based on an evaluation by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer under the framework, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of January 31, 2011 due to inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk management  

(c)  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended January 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
