Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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, 2014 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2014 as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN

REGI incurred net loss of $332,232 for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 and has a working capital deficit of $1,927,514 and an accumulated deficit of $12,648,351 at January 31, 2015. 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements as of January 31, 2015 and for the nine months ended 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 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. 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 from related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. Related parties consist of the President of REGI and companies controlled or significantly influenced by the President of REGI and by a director of REGI. As of January 31, 2015, there was $1,748,692 due to related parties. As of April 30, 2014, there was $1,531,106 due to related parties.

During the nine month period ended January 31, 2015, 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.

During the nine month period ended January 31, 2015, 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, 2014.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no change to the principal amount of the promissory note and interest expense of $1,080 was recorded during each nine month period.

NOTE 4. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

a) Common Stock Options and Warrants

During the nine month periods ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded aggregate stock-based compensation associated with options and warrants of $68,285 and $292,890, respectively.  At January 31, 2015, the Company had $393,913 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and warrants, which will be recognized over future periods.

The fair value of each option and warrant grant or modification during the nine months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:

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.

A summary of REGI’s stock option activity for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 is as follows:

At January 31, 2015, the range of exercise prices and the weighted average remaining contractual life of the outstanding options was $0.10 to $0.20 per share and 2.63 years, respectively. The intrinsic value of “in the money” exercisable options at January 31, 2015 was $0.

On May 5, 2014, the Company extended the expiration date of 830,000 outstanding common stock warrants from May 27, 2014 to November 27, 2014. On October 31, 2014, the expiration date of these warrants was further extended to May 27, 2015. The warrants are exercisable at $0.15 per share. The incremental increase in the fair value of the warrants for each extension was determined to be $34,236 and $34,049, respectively.

A summary of REGI’s common stock warrant activity for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 is as follows:

At January 31, 2015, the range of exercise prices and the weighted average remaining contractual life of the outstanding warrants was $0.15 to $0.25 per share and 0.55 year, respectively. The intrinsic value of “in the money” exercisable warrants at January 31, 2015 was $0.

b) Cash Consideration

During May and June, 2014, the Company sold an aggregate of 139,000 units in a private placement for cash proceeds of $12,197, net of issuance costs of $1,303, at $0.10 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one common stock purchase warrant exercisable at $0.15 per share for one year into the Company’s common stock from the closing date of the private placement.

NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS

Pursuant to a letter of understanding dated December 13, 1993 between REGI, Rand and Reg (collectively called the grantors) and West Virginia University Research Corporation (“WVURC”), the grantors have agreed that WVURC shall own 5% of all patented technology with regards to RC/DC Engine technology and will receive 5% of all net profits from sales, licenses, royalties or income derived from the patented technology. To date, no sales have been accrued and no royalties have been accrued or paid.

Pursuant to an agreement dated August 20, 1992, REGI acquired the U.S. rights to the original RC/DC Engine from Rand. REGI will pay Rand and the original owner a net profit royalty of 5% and 1%, respectively. To date no sales have been accrued and no royalties have been accrued or paid.

Item 2. 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, 2014. 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.

Nature of Business

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 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 and on OTC.BB. Reg Tech holds approximately 10.17% of our issued and outstanding shares.

Recent Development

On September 16, 2014 we announced that the RadMax™ test fixture is completed. Mr. Paul Porter, our chief engineer reported the following:

Mr. Porter stated that the test fixture would be the key to the rapid development of future engine designs. New prototypes can now be designed and tested with greater confidence, lower costs and with greater efficiency.

Going Concern

We incurred net losses of $332,232 for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 and have a working capital deficit of $1,927,514 and an accumulated deficit of $12,648,351 at January 31, 2015. Further losses are expected until we enter into a licensing agreement with a manufacturer and reseller.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

We may receive interim support from affiliated companies and plan to raise additional capital through debt and/or equity financings. We may also raise additional funds through the exercise of warrants and stock options, if exercised. However, there is no assurance that any of these activities will be successful.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to generate sufficient revenues from our operating activities and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, in their report on our financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2013, our registered independent auditors included additional comments indicating concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure by our registered independent auditors. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2015 Compared to the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2014

We had a net loss of $332,232 during the nine months ended January 31, 2015, a decrease from net loss of $486,240 during the nine months ended January 31, 2014.

Research and development expenses increased to $47,824 in nine months ended January 31, 2015 from $21,697 in nine months ended January 31, 2014.

General and administrative expenses decreased from $463,463 in the nine months ended January 31, 2014 to $283,328 in 2015. Our non-cash, option and warrants based expenses decreased from $292,890 in 2014 to $68,285 in the nine months ended January 31, 2015.

Other general and administrative expense comparisons are as follows:

During the nine months ended January 31, 2015 and January 31, 2014, we recorded interest expense of $1,080 on a promissory note issued to a related party.

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.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended January 31, 2015 Compared to the Three Months Ended January 31, 2014

We had a net loss of $93,480 during the three months ended January 31, 2015, a decrease from net loss of $188,661 during the three months ended January 31, 2014.

Research and development expenses increased to $25,886, in the three months ended January 31, 2015 from $nil in the three months ended January 31, 2014.

General and administrative expenses decreased from $188,301 in the three months ended January 31, 2014 to $67,234 in the three months ended January 31, 2015. Our non-cash, option and warrants based expenses decreased from $156,569 in 2014 to $nil in the three months ended January 31, 2015.

General and administrative expense comparisons are as follows:

During the three months ended January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2015, we recorded interest expense of $360 on a promissory note issued to a related party.

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, 2015, we financed our operations mainly through proceeds of $12,197 from the sale of common stock net of share issuance costs and advances from related parties of $216,506.

At January 31, 2015, the total amount owing to related parties is $1,748,692 or 90.69% of total liabilities as of January 31, 2015. This funding 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.

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, 2015, attached hereto.

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.

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 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 are taking 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 need to appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties, 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) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended January 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
