REGI U.S., Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. | Nature of Business |
REGI U.S., Inc. (“we”, “our”, the “Company”, “REGI”) has been engaged in the business of developing and building improved axial vane-type rotary devices for civilian, commercial and government applications with the marketing and intellectual rights in the U.S. Effective February 17, 2017 REGI purchased the worldwide marketing and intellectual rights, other than in the U.S., from Reg Technologies, Inc. (“Reg Tech”), a British Columbia company. No revenue has been derived to date and REGI’s planned principal operations have not commenced.
REGI formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Rad Max Technologies, Inc., on April 10, 2007 in the State of Washington.
Effective February 17, 2017 REGI purchased all of Reg Tech’s assets including all rights to the technology with the issuance of 51,757,119 shares of REGI’s common stock.
Asset Purchase Agreement
On September 16, 2016, REGI entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) with Reg Tech, a public company whose common stock was listed on TSX Venture Exchange to purchase all of the assets of Reg Tech, a company with a common director and CEO with REGI with the issuance of 46,173,916 unregistered common shares of our Company. The APA was amended on February 14, 2017 to increase the consideration shares to an aggregate of 51,757,119 unregistered common shares of our Company and to amend the list of the assets purchased. The shares are issued as of the date of this report. The Amended APA is attached as an exhibit to this report. The transaction was closed on February 17, 2017 upon TSX Venture Exchange approval.
The transaction is accounted for as a reverse merger recapitalization wherein Reg Tech is considered to be the accounting acquirer. The prior year results of operations and cash flows are those of Reg Tech for all periods presented.
Upon closing of the asset purchase agreement, all assets of Reg Tech except GST receivable were transferred from Reg Tech to REGI. In addition, upon closing of the APA, all assets, liabilities, and equity instruments of REGI were incorporated into the surviving company. The net adjustment to additional paid in capital for the asset purchase was a decrease of $1,243,757. The net cash received from the reverse merger was $10,753.
The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities of REGI U.S. on February 17, 2017:
Cash | $ | 10,753 | ||
Prepaid | 2,000 | |||

2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of REGI have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended April 30, 2017 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 2017 as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary RadMax Technologies, Inc., and its 51% owned subsidiary Rand Energy Group Inc. (“Rand”), which ownership was purchased from Reg Tech effective February 17, 2017.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Investment in associates
Investments in which the Company has the ability to exert significant influence but does not have control are accounted for using the equity method whereby the original cost of the investment is adjusted annually for the Company’s share of earnings, losses and dividends during the current year.
As part of the APA the Company purchased from Reg Tech and owns 26.1% of equity interest in Minewest Silver and Gold Inc. (“Minewest”), a British Columbia company. Minewest owns a 70% interest subject to a 10% Net Profits Interest in mining property in British Columbia. As at the date of the asset purchase and the date of this report, Minewest is inactive due to lack of funding. As a result, the assets were impaired and no transactions are recorded for Minewest during the year ended April 30, 2017 or the three months ended July 31, 2017.
Property, plant and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, which includes the acquisition price and any direct costs to bring the asset into use at its intended location, less accumulated amortization.
Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to write off the cost, net of any estimated residual value, over their estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Office equipment 5 years and electronic equipment 2 years. Depreciation of office equipment is included in general and administrative expenses; Depreciation of research equipment is included in research and development expense. During the three months ended July, 2017 depreciation of $1,198 was recorded on the research equipment.
F-6 |
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements. The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
3. | Going Concern |
The Company incurred net losses of $390,552 for the three months ended July 31, 2017 and has a working capital deficit of $62,544 and an accumulated deficit of $21,448,722 at July 31, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company 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, the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of July 31, 2017 and for the year 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.
The Company also receives interim support from related parties and plans to raise additional capital through debt and/or equity financings. There is no assurance that any of these activities will be successful. There continues to be insufficient funds to provide enough working capital to fund ongoing operations for the next twelve months.
4. | Secured Convertible Promissory Notes |
As of July 31, 2017, REGI has outstanding senior secured convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”) of $880,254 (net of unamortized discount of $29,432) issued to related parties and $732,921 (net of unamortized discount of $324,548) issued to non-related parties. As of April 30, 2017, REGI has outstanding senior secured convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”) of $877,449 (net of unamortized discount of $9,888) issued to related parties and $636,539 (net of unamortized discount of $12,944) issued to non-related parties.
During the three months ended July 31, 2017, the Company issued convertible notes for cash proceeds of $370,000, service debt provided by non-related parties of $37,986, and service debt provided by related parties of $37,500. The Convertible Notes are secured against all assets of the Company, repayable two years after the issuance, bearing simple interest rate of 10% during the term of the notes and simple interest rate of 20% after the due date. As of April 30, 2017, $755,185, $55,500, $949,121, $60,000 and $132,500 of the promissory notes are convertible at any time on or after ninety days from the issuance date into the Company’s common stocks at $0.755, $0.12, $0.10, $0.09 and $0.08 per share respectively.
The Company analyzed the conversion option in the notes for derivative accounting treatment under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and determined that the instrument does not qualify for derivative accounting.
The Company determined that the conversion option was subject to a beneficial conversion feature and during the three months ended July 31, 2017 the Company recorded a total beneficial conversion feature of $344,284, and amortization of the beneficial conversion feature of $13,137 as interest expense.
5. | Related Parties |
Amounts due to related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. Related parties consist of the directors and officers and a former director of REGI and companies controlled or significantly influenced by these parties. As of July 31, 2017, there was $105,614 due to related parties. As of April 30, 2017, there was $77,560 due to related parties.

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 an early stage company engaged in the business of developing and building improved axial vane-type rotary devices for civilian, commercial and government applications. We own the worldwide intellectual and marketing rights to the RadMax® technology. Our vision is to develop advanced devices that reduce carbon footprint, reduce device size, weight and parts count, and increase fuel and manufacturing efficiencies. We intend to develop and market these devices in cooperation with industry and government partners. We are focused on creating new, disruptive technologies that are more efficient, compact and cost-effective than those currently available.
On July 27th, 2016, we undertook our reorganization, naming our wholly owned subsidiary, RadMax Technologies, Inc. (“RadMax”) as the Company’s DBA for marketing and technology image.
Recent Development
Effective February 17, 2017 we purchased all assets of Reg Technologies Inc. (“Reg Tech”), a British Columbia public company, with the issuance of 51,757,119 shares of our common stock, increasing our ownership in the intellectual and marketing rights to the RadMax® technology from US only to worldwide. Reg Tech then distributed all these shares to its shareholders of record as dividends. This consolidation of ownership to the technology better enables our focused research and development efforts.
The asset purchase also resulted in our ownership of 49% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Rand Energy Group Inc. (“Rand Energy”), a British Columbia Company and 26% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Minewest Silver and Gold Inc. (“Minewest”), also a British Columbia company.
Rand Energy previously owned and transferred its intellectual and marketing rights to the original RadMax technology to Reg Tech. Effective November 2, 2017, we issued 3,172,269 shares of our common stock to Rand Energy. These shares together with the 827,721 shares of our common stock initially owned by Rand Energy and recorded as the Company’s treasury shares, were transferred to the 49% shareholders of Rand Energy, as consideration for purchasing all of their 49% interest in Rand Energy, resulting in the Company owing 100% equity interest of Rand Energy. This agreement with the 49% shareholder of Rand Energy settles any and all potential claims between the companies.
Minewest is engaged in the business of acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Minewest owns a 70% interest subject to a 10% Net Profits Interest in mining property in British Columbia. As at the date the asset purchase and the date of this report, Minewest is inactive due to lack of funding.
Going Concern
We incurred net losses of $390,552 for the three months ended July 31, 2017 and had a working capital deficit of $62,544 and an accumulated deficit of $21,448,722 at July 31, 2017. Further losses are expected until we enter into licensing agreements of our technologies. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
We may receive interim support from related parties and plan to raise additional capital through debt and/or equity financings. We may also raise additional funds when our outstanding options are exercised. However, there is no assurance that any of these activities will be realized.
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, 2017, 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 Three Months Ended July 31, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended July 31, 2016
The asset purchase from Reg Tech is accounted for as a reverse merger recapitalization wherein Reg Tech is considered to be the accounting acquirer. The prior year results of operations and cash flows are those of Reg Tech.
We had a net loss of $390,552 during the three months ended July 31, 2017, increased from net loss of $9,615 during the three months ended July 31, 2016 when we had very limited cash available for maintenance of our public compliance requirements.
We incurred research and development expenses of $186,825 in the three months ended July 31, 2017, and no such expenses in the three months ended July 31, 2016.
During the three months ended July 31, 2017 we incurred interest expense of $53,890 on outstanding secured convertible promissory notes and $360 on a promissory note. We did not incur interest expense in the three months ended July 31, 2016.

Total general and administrative expenses increased from $9,615 in the three months ended July 31, 2016 to $149,477 in the three months ended July 31, 2017, as we had more funds available and expanded our operations in the current period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three months ended July 31, 2017, we financed our operations mainly with proceeds of $370,000 from issuance of secured convertible promissory notes and $15,500 from option exercises.
At July 31, 2017 total amount owed to related parties is $105,614 or 28.75% of total current liabilities as of July 31, 2017. This funding was necessary to meet our research and development targets and place us in a position to attain profit. These balances owed to related parties are non-interest bearing, unsecured and repayable on demand.
We 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 technologies 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.

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 July 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
