PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

General

 

We were organized under the laws of the State of Oregon on July 27, 1992 as Sky Technologies, Inc. On August 1, 1994, our name was officially changed by a vote of a majority of our shareholders to REGI U.S., Inc.

 

On September 16, 2016, REGI entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) with Reg Technologies Inc. (“Reg Tech”), a British Columbia 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. An aggregate of 51,757,119 unregistered common shares of our company were issued as consideration for the asset purchase. The transaction was closed on February 17, 2017 upon TSX Venture Exchange approval.

 

Prior to the APA, REGI and Reg Tech had been 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”) with the marketing and intellectual rights in the U.S. held by REGI and the worldwide marketing and intellectual rights, other than in the U.S., held by Reg Tech. Upon closing the APA, REGI owns the worldwide rights to the technologies.

 

 

We will need to raise additional capital in the future beyond any amount currently on hand and which may become available as a result of debt and/or equity financing, including the exercise of options which are currently outstanding, in order to fully implement our intended plan of operations.

 

Business of the Company

 

Overview and History

 

We are engaged in the business of developing and building improved axial vane-type rotary devices for civilian, commercial and government applications. The Company owns 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 27^th, 2016, REGI undertook a reorganization, naming its wholly owned subsidiary, RadMax Technologies, Inc. (“RadMax”) as its DBA for marketing and technology image.

 

From our headquarters in Spokane, WA, we are working with engineering consultants around North America to develop these devices. Our goal is to license RadMax technology and/or participate in joint ventures to manufacture RadMax products for specific applications. Examples of market segments that could benefit from our technology include (but are not limited to) transportation, aerospace, air conditioning and refrigeration, oil and gas production and distribution, power generation, marine, and military markets.

 

Based upon work performed on concept test stands and prototype models, we believe that the RadMax^® technology holds significant potential in a number of applications ranging from improving the efficiency of air conditioning and natural gas distribution systems to transportation locomotion and power generation. In addition to its potential use as prime mover, the RadMax^® technology design is being employed in the development of several types of compressors, pumps, and gas expanders.

 

To date, several prototypes of different RadMax^® devices have been tested, Additional prototype development and testing is continuing. We believe that such work will continue until commercially feasible designs are completed. However, there is no assurance at this time that such commercially feasible designs will ever be perfected, or will become profitable. If a commercially feasible design is perfected, we expect to derive revenues from licensing the RadMax^® technology. Howerver, there is no assurance at this time that revenues will ever be received from licensing the technology even if it does prove to be commercially feasible.

 

We believe that multi-markets exist for practical rotary devices which can be produced at competitive prices, and can provide a good combination of energy utilization efficiency, power density and flexibility.

 

Based on market potential, we believe RadMax^® technology is well suited for application to both internal and external combustion engines, pumps, compressors and gas expanders. RadMax^® technology can be scaled to most size requirements. This flexibility allows us to consider applications in many large industries and markets.

 

 

Products and Projects

 

RadMax^® Engine

 

We believe that the RadMax^® internal combustion engine can achieve improved fuel and mechanical efficiencies when compared to other types of internal combustion engines based on the inherit efficient design and thermodynamic characteristics of the engine. A higher expansion than compression ratio is possible with the RadMax^® internal combustion engine resulting in better fuel efficiency.

 

Various prototype RadMax® engines for both compression-ignition (diesel) and spark-ignition (gasoline) configurations have been built ranging from 10 to over 300 horsepower. Characterized by high torque, compact size, and a high horsepower-to-weight ratio, RadMax^® engines are well suited as a prime mover for various transportation, and power generation applications.

 

Long service life, low power-to-weight ratio, and increasing environmental concerns and regulations are prompting a second look at the viability of gas turbine engines for more mainstream applications. A gas turbine engine’s optimized combustion produces fewer total emissions than internal-combustion engines. However, their lower operating efficiencies and higher operating and capital costs are impediments to their increased use.

 

A RadMax^® external combustion turbine engine incorporating RadMax^®’s higher efficiency, positive displacement compressors and gas expanders, coupled with an optimized external combustor, can significantly improve fuel and energy extraction efficiency over existing gas turbine engines. Having true “any fuel” capability, the RadMax^® turbine engine would be well suited for hybrid engine and power generation applications.

 

To bring RadMax^® engines from concept to reality, a considerable number of expensive steps and milestones must be achieved before market acceptance. These steps included concepual drawings, prototype development, and testing for critical mechanical, fuel efficiency, and emissions performance. These steps are currently beyond our resource and expertise capabilities, and we are actively seeking co-development partners to move further engine development forward.

 

RadMax® Pump

 

The RadMax^® positive-displacement pump is an extraordinarily energy efficient pump that pairs the high volume capacity of a positive-displacement pump with the simplicity and cost advantages of a centrifugal pump. Because of its efficient, high-volume output, the RadMax^® pump is well suited for fire protection; water and flood control; irrigation; marine; water treatment; oil and gas industry down hole and subsea; industrial processes; heavy industry and construction; and portable pump applications.

 

The Company has actively pursued the development of the RadMax^® pump for various applications with industry manufacturers. Commercialization requires tooling to significantly reduce the cost of the pump in a production environment. Further development of the RadMax^® pump is currently on hold until additional end user interest is established.

 

RadMax^® Compressor

 

The RadMax^® positive-displacement compressor acts as both a positive-displacement and a centrifugal compressor, incorporating the advantages of each. Because of its unique design, a RadMax compressor is able to utilize the volumetric energy of a positive-displacement compressor and the kinetic energy of a centrifugal compressor to pressurize a gas. This results in an exceptionally energy efficient device.

 

 

Several RadMax^® compressor prototype designs have been tested in the past for various automotive air conditioning and commercial applications. Because RadMax^® technology allows for efficient higher compression ratios, a new compressor prototype is being designed and built for the next generation of low density refrigerants. Commercialization requires tooling to significantly reduce the cost of the compressor in a production environment. We are currently seeking a co-development partner to further the development of he compressor for specific applications.

 

RadMax^® Rotary Gas Expander

 

The RadMax^® gas expander is a positive-displacement device that is uniquely able to capture both kinetic and pressure-volume energy and convert it to rotational power in gas pressure differential applications. This power can then be used to drive other devices such as compressors and electrical generators. Additional efficiency can be gained by incorporating electric power generation directly into the gas expander.

 

The RadMax^® gas expander is primarily being developed to replace less efficient devices such as air conditioning system free gas expansion valves and mechanical throttling valves which are not able to capture available pressure energy. The RadMax^® gas expander is also used as the turbine component in the RadMax^® turbine engine.

 

We are currently designing and building prototype devices targeted for the natural gas distribution and air conditioning industries which can significantly reduce electric power requirements. We will be actively soliciting co-development industry partners later this year to further develop and commercialize these products.

 

Patents

 

As at April 30, 2017 and the date of this report, we have the following patents:

 

	●	RA41-001 (CA) – 2,496,157
	●	RA41-002 (US) – 7,896,630 B2, and
	●	RA41-007 (CA) – 2,672,332

 

Recent Developments

 

Since July, 2016 the new management team has reorganized the company and expanded our research efforts with the addition of a director for business development and multiple mechanical and electrical engineers as well as engineers and technicians experienced in oil and gas distribution systems, refrigeration, material sciences, military applications, technical mechanical design and manufacturing.

 

We purchased all assets of Reg Tech 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 the focused research and development efforts.

 

We have elected to use our wholly owned Washington state based company RadMax Technologies, Inc. as our marketing name and public image.

 

 

The asset purchase also resulted in our ownership of 26% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Minewest Silver and Gold Inc. (“Minewest”), a British Columbia company 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.

 

We have engaged the services of a Spokane, WA patent law firm to assist us manage our growing patent and trademark applications. In addition to our active patents, we are seeking re-assignment to the company of three inactive patents previously miss-assigned, filing two full new patents, multiple provisional patents and working on the basis for others as we ramp up our engineering development program.

 

The Company’s 375 diesel engine prototype has gone through extensive testing with mechanical and compression results proving the basis of our technology and gives us a high rate of confidence going forward.

 

We have completed the mechanical design of a demonstration gas expander. Currently we are part way through the assemblage and testing commenced in June 2017. This device will incorporate multiple new engineering designs, mechanisms and improvements resulting from our diesel engine testing program.

 

Our prototype low density refrigerant compressor has also finished mechanical design with preliminary technical drawings underway. We are awaiting completion of our Expander and funding before further prototype development.

 

Preliminary design work has been done on a 50 (+-) hp gas engine, however, engineering time and funding are needed before further development.

 

We have built and successfully tested a miniature fluid pump. Our goal was to test the time, effort and expense of building small scale prototypes in 3-D printed composites. From start of design to finished testing was less than one month.

 

Other devices are conceptually laid out, but additional engineering and funding are required to move forward.

 

An additional step up in our prototype development has been the addition of multiple 3-D composite printers, a Vertical C&C metal Milling machine, and access to a full metal machine shop owned by one of our engineers. Producing multiple prototype components as the same time has improved our build time and material component selections.

 

Our marketing and business development to date has received interest from aerospace companies, international refrigeration manufacturers, major natural gas distribution and utility companies, oil and natural gas service business and others eager to learn of our technology and business opportunities. To date, we have no signed agreements, although we are conducting ongoing discussions with them.

 

During the year ended April 30, 2017, we constructed our web site http://www.radmaxtech.com, focusing on our new business model and detailing our RadMax Technology and how it applies to multiple industrial demands for efficiency, size, weight, and performance output.

 

In order to finance the expanded research and development and increasing administrative support, the company has established a Senior Secured Convertible Loan Program. As at April 30, 2017 we have raised $781,635 and settled old debt of $741,941 at a loss of $13,244 with the issuance of the convertible loans. From April 30, 2017 to the date of the report we raised another $757,852 with the issuance of the convertible loans.

 

 

Competition and Alternative Technologies

 

We currently face and will continue to face competition in the future from established companies engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing related products to our RadMax technology devices. While not a highly competitive businesses in terms of numbers of competitors with comparable devices, the business of developing new technology and attempting to either license or produce them is nonetheless difficult because most existing producers are large, well financed companies which are very concerned about maintaining their market position. Such competitors are already well established in the market and have substantially greater resources than us. For these reasons we are more inclined to licenses our technology rather than be directly engaged in manufacturing. The development of our business and its ability to maintain its competitive and technical position will continue to depend upon our ability to attract and retain qualified scientific, engineering, and managerial personnel.

 

Our guiding marketing strategy is to develop RadMax^® technology products for applications that are either looking for a solution, or where our product offers significant advantages over existing products. We do not wish to develop “me too” products that that will automatically face substantial acceptance and pricing pressure in the marketplace. This strategy implies that our co-development industry partners will most likely be new or smaller, less dominant players in a particular market looking for new products to strengthen their position, rather than a dominant market player.

 

The RadMax^® internal combustion engine faces more competitive obstacles than the RadMax^® pump, compressor, and gas expander due to both the size of the market and strength of competing companies, and consumer expectations for reliability, performance, regulation compliance, and low cost. This infers that the technical and economic advantages threshold for RadMax^® engines is high and must be met for the engine technology to be successful in the market place.

 

Except for the Wankel rotary engine built by Mazda of Japan, no competitor, that we are aware of, presently produces in a commercial quantity any rotary engine similar to the engines we are developing. The Wankel rotary engine is similar only in that it is a rotary engine rather than a reciprocating piston engine. Even though RadMax^® internal engines may be more fuel efficient, smaller, quieter, and cost less to produce than existing engines, without substantially greater financial resources than is currently available to us. It is very possible that we may not be able to adequately compete in the engine business.

 

We also believe that strong competition can be expected in the engine market with new patents being taken out by competitors on a continuous basis, and that we may have a time advantage over some of the products in niche markets we may enter. However, there is no way to accurately determine or predict whether this situation is or will continue to be true.

 

To a somewhat lesser extent, similar competition also exists in the pump, compressor, and gas expander markets which may utilize RadMax^® technology in their products. Like engine manufacturers, many of these companies have substantially greater resources for research, development and manufacturing than us. It is possible that our competitors may succeed in developing technologies and products that are more effective or commercially acceptable. However, we believe there are potentially more opportunities in these markets for RadMax^®’s technical and efficiency advantages to provide unique and superior solutions for specific applications.

 

 

Technology development is taking place on many fronts and competitors may have, unknown to us, a product or products under development which may be technologically superior to ours which may be more acceptable to the market.

 

Environmental Matters

 

Laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment have not had a material impact on our business.

 

Availability of Raw Materials

 

Since we are not in production and there are no plans at this time for us to enter the actual manufacturing business, raw materials are not of present concern. At this time, however, there does not appear to be any foreseeable problem with obtaining any materials or components, which may be required in the manufacture of its potential products.

 

Marketing Strategy

 

We intend to pursue the development of our RadMax^® Technology by entering into licensing and/or joint venture arrangements with other larger companies, which have the financial resources to maximize the potential of the technology. We have no current plans to become actively involved in either manufacturing or marketing any device which may ultimately develop to the point of becoming a commercial product.

 

Our current objective is to complete and test the RadMax^® Expander and Compressor. Based on successful testing, the prototypes will be used for presentation purposes to potential license and joint venture partners.

 

Based on successful testing of the RadMax^® prototypes, we expect to have joint venture or license agreements finalized, which would result in royalties to us. However, there is no assurance that the tests will be successful or that we will ever receive any such royalties.

 

Dependence on Certain Commercial Agreements

 

We do not have any material agreements upon which we are dependent.

 

Royalty Payments

 

No royalties have been awarded in relationship to our currently active patents.

 

Research and Development

 

We contract with individuals to perform the research and development work.

 

Employees

 

During the year ended April 30, 2017 we did not have any employees; engineering and administrative functions were performed by contractors.

 

 

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties may also adversely impact and impair our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, or financial condition would likely suffer. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

We face risks related to general domestic and global economic conditions.

 

We rely on our ability to raise capital through the sale of our securities. However, the current uncertainty arising out of domestic and global economic conditions poses a risk to the economies in which we operate. Our ultimate success will depend upon our ability to raise additional capital or to have other parties bear a portion of the required costs to further develop or exploit the potential market for our products.

 

We are a development stage enterprise.

 

We are a development stage enterprise and are subject to all of the attendant business risks associated with a development stage enterprise, including constraints on financial and personnel resources, lack of established credit facilities, and uncertainties regarding product development and future revenues. We will continue to be subject to all the risks attendant to a development stage enterprise for the foreseeable future, including competition, complications and setbacks in the development program, and the need for additional capital.

 

We have reported losses in each year since its inception. At April 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,058,170 in accordance with US GAAP. Our history consists almost entirely of development of technologies funded entirely from the sale of our Common Stock or debts from related parties in the absence of revenues. We anticipate that it will continue to incur substantial additional operating losses for at least the next 12 months and expects cumulative losses to increase as our development efforts expand.

 

Although we anticipate receiving future revenues from licensing of our technology or joint ventures. we have received no revenues from sales of any of the products under development. There can be no assurance as to when or if we will be able to develop significant sources of revenue or whether our operations will become profitable, even if we are able to commercialize any product. See “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” and Notes to Financial Statements.

 

We have no assurance that we will be able to develop a commercially feasible product.

 

We have no assurance at this time that a commercially feasible design will ever be perfected, or if it is, that it will become profitable. Our profitability and survival will depend upon our ability to develop a technically and commercially feasible product which will be accepted by end users. The RadMax^® which we are developing must be technologically superior or at least equal to other devices that competitors offer and must have a competitive price/performance ratio to adequately penetrate its potential markets. If we are not able to achieve this condition or if we do not remain technologically competitive, we may be unprofitable and our investors could lose their entire investment. There can be no assurance that we or potential licensees will be able to achieve and maintain end user acceptance of our engine.

 

 

We will require additional financing and we may not be able to secure the financing necessary to continue our development and operations.

 

There is no assurance that we will be able to secure the financing necessary to continue our development and operations. Our expectations as to the amount of funds needed for development and the timing of the need for these funds is based on our current operating plan, which can change as a result of many factors, and we could require additional funding sooner than anticipated. Our cash needs may vary materially from those now planned because of results of development or changes in the focus and direction of our development program, competitive and technological advances, results of laboratory and field testing, requirements of regulatory agencies and other factors.

 

We have no commercial credit facility or other Industry based committed sources of capital. To the extent capital resources are insufficient to meet future capital requirements, we will have to raise additional funds to continue our development and operations. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available on favorable terms, or at all. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to curtail operations significantly or to obtain funds on unattractive terms. Our inability to raise capital would have a material adverse effect on us.

 

We have a history of losses and expect to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.

 

We expect to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future and cannot be certain when or if we will achieve profitability. Failure to become and remain profitable will adversely affect the value of our Common Shares and our ability to raise capital and continue operations.

 

We have a history of operating losses, and an accumulated deficit, as of April 30, 2017, of $21,058,170. Our ability to generate revenues and profits is subject to the risks and uncertainties encountered by development stage companies.

 

Our future revenues and profitability are unpredictable. We currently have no signed contracts that will produce revenue and we do not have an estimate as to when we will be entering into such contracts. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that management will be successful in negotiating such contracts.

 

We have no assurance that our products will receive market acceptance.

 

Our profitability and survival will depend upon our ability to develop a technically and commercially feasible product which will be accepted by end users. The RadMax^® technology which we are developing must be technologically superior or at least equal to other products our competitors offer and must have a competitive price/performance ratio to adequately penetrate our potential markets.

 

Our officers lack experience to manufacture or market our products.

 

Assuming we are successful in developing RadMax^® devices, we presently have no proven ability either to manufacture them. There is no assurance that we will be able to profitably manufacture and market engines.

 

 

Our auditors have indicated that our losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue a going concern.

 

The report of our independent auditors with respect to our financial statements included in this Form 10-K includes a “going concern” qualification, indicating that our losses and deficits in working capital and shareholders’ equity raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. See Notes to Audited Financial Statements.

 

We are dependent upon certain members of our staff, the loss of which could adversely affect our business.

 

We are dependent on certain members of our management and engineering staff, the loss of services of one or more of whom could adversely affect our business. The loss of any of these key individuals could hamper the successful development of RadMax^® technology. Our present officers and directors have other full or part-time interests unrelated to our business. Some officers and directors will be available to participate in management decisions on a part-time or as-needed basis only. We do not have “key man” life insurance on such officers and currently have no plans to obtain such insurance. Our success also depends on our ability to attract and retain additional skilled employees and advisors.

 

We are dependent upon consultants and outside manufacturing facilities.

 

Since our present limited financial plans do not provide for an increase in technical staff or the establishment of manufacturing facilities, we will be primarily dependent on others to perform these functions and to provide the requisite expertise and quality control. There is no assurance that such persons or institutions will be available when needed at affordable prices. It will likely cost more to have independent companies do research and manufacturing than for us to handle these resources.

 

Our business may suffer if we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property.

 

Our business depends on the protection of our intellectual property and may suffer if we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property. The success of our business depends on our ability to patent all our technology devices. Currently, we have been granted several U.S. Patents. We cannot provide assurance that our patents will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged, that the rights granted under the patents will give us competitive advantages or that our patent applications will be granted.

 

Our devices and planned applications may contain product errors which could adversely affect our operations.

 

Our planned applications may contain errors or defects, especially when first introduced, or when new versions are released. Our products may not be free from errors after commercial release has occurred. Any errors that are discovered after such commercial release could result in loss of revenue or delay in market acceptance, diversion of development resources, damage to our reputation, increased service and warranty costs and liability claims. Any defects in these products could adversely affect the operation of and market for our products, reduce revenue, increase costs and damage our reputation.

 

 

Our competition possesses greater technical resources and market recognition than us and there is no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively with these companies.

 

While not a highly competitive business in terms of numbers of competitors, the business of developing engines of a new design and attempting to either license or produce them is nonetheless difficult because most producers are large, well financed companies which are very concerned about maintaining their market position. These companies possess greater technical resources and market recognition than us, and have management, financial and other resources not yet available to us. Existing technology are likely to be perceived by many customers as superior or more reliable than any new product until it has been in the marketplace for a period of time. There is no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively with these companies.

 

Market prices for our products may decline in the future which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We anticipate that market prices for our main products may decline in the future due to increased competition. We expect significant competition among local and international companies, including from new entrants, may continue to drive equipment prices lower. We also expect that there may be increases in promotional spending by companies in our industry which would also contribute to increasing movement of customers between competitors. Such increased competition and the resulting decline of market prices for our products would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

New technology or refinement of existing technology could render our RadMax Technology products less attractive or obsolete.

 

New technology or refinement of existing technology could render our products less attractive or obsolete. Our success depends in part upon its ability to anticipate changes in technology and industry standards and to successfully develop and introduce new and improved devices on a timely basis. There is no assurance that we will be able to do so. Accordingly, if we are unable to adapt to changing technologies and to adapt our product to evolving industry standards, our business will be adversely affected.

 

Product liability claims asserted against us in the future could hurt our business.

 

Product liability claims asserted against us in the future could hurt our business. If a customer suffers damage from our products, the customer could sue us on product liability or related grounds, claim damages for data loss or make other claims. We currently do not carry product liability insurance. While we have not been sued on product liability grounds to date, a successful product liability or related claim brought against us could harm our business.

 

Our success may be dependent on the timing of new product introductions and lack of market acceptance for our new products.

 

Our future success may be dependent on the success of our products and services. The success of our business depends on a variety of factors, including:

 

	●	the quality and reliability of our products and services;
	●	our ability to develop new products and services superior to that of our competitors;
	●	our ability to establish licensing relationships and other strategic alliances;
	●	our pricing policies and the pricing policies of our competitors;
	●	our ability to introduce new products and services before our competitors;
	●	our ability to successfully advertise our products and services; and
	●	general economic trends.

 

 

We may be affected by other factors which may have an adverse effect on our business.

 

Our areas of business may be affected from time to time by such matters as changes in general economic conditions, changes in laws and regulations, taxes, tax laws, prices and costs, and other factors of a general nature which may have an adverse effect on our business.

 

There is only a limited public market for our common shares on the OTCQB Venture Market and those markets are extremely volatile.

 

There is only a limited public market for our common shares on the OTCQB Venture Market and there is a risk that a broader or more active public trading market for our common shares will never develop, or be sustained, or that current trading levels will not be sustained.

 

The market price for our common shares on the OTCQB Venture Market has been and we anticipate will continue to be extremely volatile and subject to significant price and volume fluctuations in response to a variety of external and internal factors. This is especially true with respect to emerging companies such as ours. Examples of external factors, which can generally be described as factors that are unrelated to the operating performance or financial condition of any particular company, include changes in interest rates and worldwide economic and market conditions, as well as changes in industry conditions, such as regulatory and environment rules, and announcements of technology innovations or new products by other companies. Examples of internal factors, which can generally be described as factors that are directly related to our consolidated financial condition or results of operations, would include release of reports by securities analysts and announcements we may make from time-to-time relative to our operating performance, advances in technology or other business developments.

 

Because we have a limited operating history and no profits to date, the market price for the common shares is more volatile than that of a seasoned issuer. Changes in the market price of the common shares, for example, may have no connection with our operating results or prospects. No predictions or projections can be made as to what the prevailing market price for the common shares will be at any time, or as to what effect, if any, that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

 

You will be subject to the penny stock rules to the extent our stock price on the OTCQB Venture Market is less than $5.00.

 

Since the common shares are not listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on the OTC Market within the United States, trading in the common shares on the OTCQB Venture Market is subject, to the extent the market price for the common shares is less than $5.00 per share, to a number of regulations known as the “penny stock rules”. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, to provide the customer with additional information including current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, and to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. To the extent these requirements may be applicable they will reduce the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the common shares and may severely and adversely affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the common shares.

 

You should not expect to receive dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We intend to retain any future earnings to finance our business and operations and any future growth. Therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

Overview

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with audited financial statements of the Company and unaudited consolidated financial statements of our company and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report.

 

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report, particularly in the section entitled “Risk Factors”.

 

The audited financial statements of the Company are stated in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Plan of Operations

 

We are a company engaged in the business of developing and commercially exploiting an improved axial vane type rotary technology known as RadMax^®.

 

Our early engineering and development work have not yet produced revenues and we have a working capital deficit. We have incurred net losses to April 30, 2017 totaling $$21,058,170 and further losses are expected until we complete a licensing agreement with a manufacturer and reseller. At April 30, 2017, we had working capital deficiency of $220,721. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to emerge from the development stage with respect to our planned principal business activity is dependent upon our successful efforts to raise additional funds or develop a market for our products.

 

Results of Operations

 

Results of operations for the year ended April 30, 2017 compared to the year ended April 30, 2016

 

The asset purchase agreement with Reg Tech closed on February 17, 2017 is accounted for as reverse merger recapitalization with Reg Tech considered to be the accounting acquirer. In accordance with reverse merger accounting, results of operations include those of Reg Tech from May 1, 2016 to February 17, 2017 and those of REGI US from February 18, 2017 to April 30, 2017, the prior year results of operations are those of Reg Tech.

 

 

Upon the new management’s reorganization efforts starting from the second half of July, 2016 the Company expanded its research and development efforts and the administrative support with the increased success in financing the required expenditures. As a result, research and development expenses increased from $41,037 in 2016 to $136,168 in 2017, and general and administrative expenses increased from $108,424 in 2016 to $158,135 in 2017.

 

During the year ended April 30, 2017 we raised $781,635 and settled debt of $741,941 with related parties at a loss of $13,244 with the issuance of secured convertible loans, for which we recorded interest expense of $16,312 from February 17, 2017 to April 30, 2017. From February 17, 2017 to April 30, 2017 we also recorded interest expense of $360 on a promissory note issued by REGI to Terryl Resources Corp. during the year ended April 30, 2012. During the year ended April 30 2016 Reg Tech recorded gain on debt settlement of $5,007 and recorded the impairment of receivable from REGI of $1,107,570 because in fiscal 2016 there was no certainty of collecting the amount from REGI.

 

Our basic and diluted loss per share was $0.01 for 2017 and $0.03 for 2016.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

During the year ended April 30, 2017, we financed our operations through the issuances of Senior Secured Convertible Loans.

 

The total amount owed to related parties is $77,560 representing 26.07% of our current liabilities as of April 30, 2017. This funding was necessary with a downturn in the financial market to complete the RadMax^® engine and place the Company in a position to attain future profit.

 

The balances owed 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 behalf of the Company if further funds are needed.

 

As of April 30, 2017, we had a working capital deficiency of $220,721. We will raise additional funds from equity and debt financing.

 

The audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going-concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has no revenues and limited capital, which together raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going-concern. Management plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

We have been successful in the past in acquiring capital through the issuance of shares of our Common Stock, and through advances from related parties.

 

We anticipate that our cash requirements for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2018 will be around $1,500,000.

 

Research and development costs are identified as Engineer design, prototype fabrication, and labor expense, and are estimated to be $650,00 over the next 6 months.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of April 30, 2017 and the date of this report, we have had no off-balance sheet arrangements, including any outstanding derivative financial statements, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

 

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

REGI U.S., Inc.

Spokane, WA

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of REGI U.S., Inc and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of April 30, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of REGI U.S., Inc. and its subsidiaries as of April 30, 2017, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To:		the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
		Reg Technologies Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Reg Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) as of April 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2016 and 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor was we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2016 and 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REGI U.S., Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

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.

2.	Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of consolidation

 

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.

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

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.

 

 

Risks and uncertainties

 

The Company operates in an emerging industry that is subject to market acceptance and technological change. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological and other risks associated with operating an emerging business, including the potential risk of business failure.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

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 year ended April 30, 2017 depreciation of $1,198 was recorded on the research equipment.

 

Financial instruments

 

Fair Value

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, amounts due to related parties and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

 

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

	-	Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
	-	Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
	-	Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary assets and liabilities.

 

Credit Risk

 

The Company’s financial asset that is exposed to credit risk consists primarily of cash. To manage the risk, cash is placed with major financial institutions.

 

 

Currency Risk

 

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar for Reg Tech and US dollar for REGI and the reporting currency is the US dollar.

 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in US dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

For reporting purposes assets and liabilities with Canadian dollar as functional currency are translated into US dollar at the period end rates of exchange, and the results of the operations are translated at average rates of exchange for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

 

Income taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the consolidated financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax losses and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share

 

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible debt using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718 which establishes the accounting treatment for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, share-based payment compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The Company accounts for share-based payments to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50.

 

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

Research and development costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Related Parties

 

In accordance with ASC 850 “Related Party Disclosure”, a party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

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 $324,219 for the year ended April 30, 2017 and has a working capital deficit of $220,721 and an accumulated deficit of $21,058,170 at April 30, 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 April 30, 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 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. As of February 17, 2017, REGI has outstanding senior secured convertible promissory notes of $118,874 (net of unamortized discount of $3,278) issued to related parties and $351,586 (net of unamortized discount of $1,455) issued to non-related parties. During the period from February 17, 2017 to April 30, 2017, the Company issued convertible notes for cash proceeds of $258,000, services debt provided by non-related parties for $38,442, service debt provided by related parties for $40,000 and recorded loss on settlement of debt for $13,244 as $741,941 of related payables are settled for $755,185 of convertible notes. 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, $15,500, $573,635, $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 recorded a total beneficial conversion feature of $18,872, and amortization of the beneficial conversion feature of $773 as interest expense from February 18, 2017 to April 30, 2017.

 

5.

7.

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.

 

8.

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes.

 

During the post-reverse merger period of February 18, 2017 through April 30, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss, and, therefore, had no tax liability. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $267,672 for the year ended April 2017 and will begin expiring in 2037. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that may be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone significant changes in its stock ownership. The $267,672 estimate of net operating loss carry- forward is calculated after we consider the effect of Section 382.

 

Deferred tax assets consist of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding its realizability. Deferred tax assets consist of the following:

 

The composition of REGI’s deferred tax assets at April 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

 

		April 30,
		2017				2016
Net operating loss carry forward		$	267,672			$	-
Deferred tax asset		$	93,685			$	-
Less: Valuation allowance			(93,685	)			-
Net deferred tax asset		$	-			$	-

 

9.

Subsequent Event

 

Subsequent to April 30, 2017, convertible loans of $757,852 were issued. 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. $717,852 and $40,000 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 $0.10 and $0.12 per share respectively.

 

During May 2017, 155,000 shares were issued for options exercised at $0.10 per share.

 

During June 2017, 350,000 shares were issued to directors and officers of the Company.

 

From June to September 2017, 55,892 and 403,323 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued for convertible promissory notes at $0.08 and $0.10 per share respectively, and $8,652 was repaid for convertible loan redemption.

 

 

ITEM 9: CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

None.

 

ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a)       Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required by SEC Rule 15d-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

Based upon that evaluation, management has concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of April 30, 2017. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as identified below. Management anticipates that disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated. Our Company intends to remediate the weaknesses as set out below:

 

-	There is a lack of sufficient accounting staff due to the size of the Company, resulting in a lack of segregation of duties necessary for an effective internal control system.
-	There is a lack of control processes which provide for multiple levels of supervision and review.

 

(b)       Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

	(1)	Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
	(2)	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and
	(3)	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

 

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.

 

Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO (2013 edition), to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Based on this assessment the management concludes that our internal control system is ineffective and material weakness are noted due to lack of segregation of duties. There is also a lack of control processes in place which provide for multiple levels of supervision and review in key areas.

 

(c)       Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the year ended April 30, 2017, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The term of office of the current directors are expected to continue until new directors are elected or appointed at an annual meeting of shareholders.

 

Committees of the Board and Financial Expert

 

Audit Committee

 

The Company currently does not have an audit committee.

 

Our Board of Directors believes that due to our small size it is not necessary to have such committees as the functions of such committees are performed by the Board of Directors.

 

Code of Ethics

 

The Company’s board of directors is committed to encouraging and promoting a culture of ethical business conduct and integrity throughout the Company. In order to achieve this objective, efforts are made to the implementation, monitoring and enforcement of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (“Code”). This is accomplished by: (a) taking prompt action against violations of the Code; ensuring employees and consultants are aware that they may discuss their concerns with their supervisor or directly to the Compliance Officer; the Compliance Officer reporting suspected fraud or securities law violations for review by the Audit Committee and reporting same to the Board of Directors. The Company distributes to each new director, officer, employee and consultant the Company’s Code.

 

No waivers of any provision of this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics may be made except by the Board of Directors. Any waiver or amendment shall be reported as required by law or regulation. There have been no waivers of the Code since its implementation.

 

A copy of the Code is available from the Company on written request, and the text of the code of business conduct and ethics was filed as an exhibit to our form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2011 and posted on the Company’s website at www.regtech.com.

 

 

Assessments

 

The board of directors is ultimately responsible for the stewardship of the Company, which means that it oversees the day-to-day management delegated to the President and Chief Executive Officer and the other officers of the Company. The board is charged with the responsibility of assessing the effectiveness of itself, its committee(s) and the contributions of individual directors.

 

The Corporate Governance Policy was constituted by the board of directors to assist the Board and its officers, employees, and consultants to fulfill fundamental issues including: (a) the regular assessment of the Company’s approach to corporate governance issues; (b) ensuring that such approach supports the effective functioning of the Company with a view to the best interests of the Company’s shareholders and effective communication between the board of directors and management of the Company; and (c) the process, structure and effective system of accountability by management to the board of directors and by the board to the shareholders, in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and industry standards for good governance practices. A copy of the Corporate Governance Policy is available on our website at www.regtech.com.

 

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.

 

Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with.

 

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

The Company is required, under applicable securities legislation in Canada, to disclose to its Shareholders details of compensation paid to its directors and officers. The following fairly reflects all material information regarding compensation paid by the Company to its directors and officers, which information has been disclosed to the Company’s Shareholders in accordance with applicable Canadian law.

 

Executive Compensation

 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

The Company’s executive officers make recommendations to the board of directors regarding compensation policies and the compensation of senior officers. The Company does not have a Compensation Committee. The compensation of the senior executives comprises two components; namely, a base salary or consulting fees and the grant of stock options pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan which is more particularly outlined below under the Option-based Awards section. These forms of compensation are chosen to attract, retain and motivate the performance of selected directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company of high caliber and potential. Each senior executive is employed for his or her skills to perform specific tasks and the base salary and number of options is fixed accordingly.

 

 

Summary Compensation Table

 

Named Executive Officer mean the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) or any individual acting in a similar capacity or function, regardless of the amount of compensation of that individual and each of the Company’s two most highly compensated executive officers, other than the CEO and CFO, or three two highly compensated individuals acting in similar capacities, who were serving as executive officers, or in a similar capacity, at the end of the most recent financial year and whose compensation exceeds $100,000, and such individuals who would be an NEO but for the fact that they were not serving as an executive officer or in a similar capacity at the end of that financial year.

 

During the Company’s last completed financial year ended April 30, 2017, the Company had two Named Executive Officers: Mr. Paul Chute, CEO and Ms. Victoria Huang, CFO.

 

The following table (presented in accordance with Item 402 of Regulation S-K – Executive Compensation) sets forth all annual, long term and other compensation for services in all capacities to the Company and its subsidiaries payable to the NEOs for the three financial years ended April 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 (to the extent required by the Regulations) in respect of the Named Executive Officers:
