Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Expressed in US Dollars

NOTE 1 -
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such consolidated financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $163,112 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. In addition, the Companys current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $785,111 and $613,398 at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These factors, as well as the uncertain conditions that the Company faces relative to capital raising activities, create an uncertainty as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is seeking to raise additional capital through public and/or private offerings, targeting strategic partners in an effort to increase revenues, and expanding revenues through strategic acquisitions. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of capital offerings or alternative financing arrangements and expansion of its operations. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,968.
The Company will require additional funding during the next twelve months to finance the growth of its current operations and achieve its strategic objectives. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing sufficient to generate enough cash flow to fund its operations through 2009 and 2010. However management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured.
NOTE 3 -
STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
On February 15, 2008, the Company issued to an individual options to purchase up to 18,000 shares of the Companys common stock for consulting services. The options vested upon their issuance. The options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the common stock, the day prior to the signing or renewal of the corresponding consulting agreement. The options expire at the close of business on August 15, 2013.
The Company estimated the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: expected term of 5 ½ years, a risk free interest rate of 2.76%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 142%. Under the provisions, additional consulting expense of $9,037 was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 pursuant to the Black-Scholes option pricing model for these options.

STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (continued)
On April 24, 2009, the Company granted a total of 4,400,000 stock options under its stock option plan to senior management at the exercise price of $0.13 per share. The options will vest on a schedule as the TRU technology process completes a satisfactory pilot project and becomes used in commercial applications for five (5) years from the date of grant which is not exercisable in whole or part before September 30, 2009 or after April 14, 2014. The fair value of options will be vested when the completion of a satisfactory pilot project is used in commercial application under the stock options plan.
The Company estimated the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: expected term of 5 years, a risk free interest rate of 1.96%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 149%. Under the provisions, the total stock options are valued $1,845,140. No expense has been recorded for the period ending September 30, 2009 related to these options, as they have not begun to vest.

NOTE 4 -
CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE
During August 2007, the Company received $500,000 from a company pursuant to a convertible note payable. The note bears interest at 7% per annum, and is due on July 30, 2008. As of December 31, 2007, accrued interest on the note totaled $14,595. Until July 30, 2008, the note holder has the right, at the holders option, to convert the principal and accrued interest on the note, in whole or in part, into shares of the Companys common stock at the closing market value of the common stock on the last trading day prior to the date upon which the note holder provides written notice. On July 30, 2008, the note holder extended the note payable until September 30, 2008. And on September 29, 2008 the convertible note holder extended the convertible note payable again to June 30, 2009 then extended continually until demand for payment. This Convertible Note Payable is currently in default. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, accrued interest on the note totaled $75,845 and 49,595, respectively. For the nine months period ended September 30, 2009 and year ended 2008, the $500,000 principal and accrued interest was convertible into 1,799,516 and 2,892,605 shares of the Companys common stock.
On July 2, 2009, the Company entered into an additional agreement with Epsom Investment Services NV (Epsom) under a convertible promissory note in the amount of $100,000 bearing interest of 10% per annum. The promissory note and interest are due and will be paid on demand. Epsom agreed when demand for payment is presented to the Company, Epsom has the option to convert the principal and interest outstanding at the end of the term into Rival common stock. The conversion price will be the closing market value of the common stock on the last trading day prior to the date Epsom provides Rival with notice. The Company has received $50,000 under this agreement. For the nine months period ended September 30, 2009, the principal of $50,000 and accrued interest of $1,041 was convertible into 159,503 shares of the Companys common stock.
The Company incurred debt whereby the convertible feature of the debt provides for a rate of conversion based upon the closing market value of the common stock on the last trading day prior to the date upon which the note holder provides written notice. Therefore, the Company has not recorded a beneficial conversion feature on this note pursuant to the accounting pronouncement.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related party transactions are in the normal course of operations, occurring on terms and conditions that are similar to those of transactions with unrelated parties and, therefore, are measured at the exchange amount.
There were $60,000 and $0 due to a related party, a Company owned by the officer, Douglas B. Thomas of the Company for accrued management services and operating expenses at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The amounts due to related parties are non-interest bearing and have no specific terms of repayment.

NOTE 6 -
JOINT VENTURE
In May 2009, the Company signed a letter of intent for a joint venture (JV) with Hamburg Financial Corporation (HFC) to form a 75% (as to Rivals interest) and 25% (as to HFCs interest) JV having the exclusive right from the date of commencement until December 31, 2009 to exploit Rivals technology with a South American oil company. The JV agreement may be extended indefinitely based on the achievement of certain performance criteria established by both parties. HFC is to be responsible out of its share of JV participation to compensate others that may assist, either directly or indirectly, in facilitating the commercial exploitation of Rivals technology in South America. All expenses, developmental or extraordinary, will be the responsibility of each party, relative to their respective interest in the JV. The JV was still in a development stage and there were no related expenses that occurred during the quarters ended as of September, 30, 2009.
NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Subsequent to the quarters ended September 30, 2009, the Company signed a Letter of Intent with a group of investors that will provide $6 million in financing to the Company. Terms of the proposed agreement are subject to a confidentiality agreement between the parties and will be announced upon successful completion of the agreement expected during the fourth quarter. The funds will be used to complete engineering and construction of the first TRU process, one barrel per day, continuous feed pilot plant.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Overview
We are a holding company operating on a consolidated basis with our wholly-owned subsidiary, CWI Technology, Inc., and our majority-owned subsidiary, TRU Oiltech, Inc. CWI Technology, Inc. is developing the Continuous Water Injection technology (CWI Technology), which is designed to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide and smoke emissions, improve fuel efficiency and provide cleaner operations of diesel engines. TRU Oiltech, Inc. is developing the TRU
process, which is a mild, thermal reagent, primary upgrading process designed for heavy crude and oil sands bitumen which improves viscosity for acceptance by pipeline transportation systems. Both subsidiaries are development stage companies in the licensing and marketing stage for their technologies.
During the past quarters our management has been actively meeting with heavy oil producers to negotiate license agreements for the TRU process. In January 2008 we announced that TRU Oiltech had contracted with an independent engineering consultant to provide an unbiased linear program analysis of our synthetic crude product TRULITE. In April 2008 we received that report which expressed concern regarding our testing methods and it recommended that we alter our testing methodology by undertaking a continuous feed pilot program that would simulate to a reasonable degree the expected operating conditions for a commercial production thermal cracker-solvent extraction process. However, management believes that the TRU process will provide benefits and the operation of a commercial unit can be projected from the existing test results. We intend to seek out oil industry partners to participate in the continuing testing phase for the commercial development of the TRU process. However, we may be unsuccessful at negotiating a partnership agreement, and in that case we will delay further development of the TRU process.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company moved to the second phase of the four phase business development plan of the TRU process: building a pilot plant. Management has actively sought financing to fund the final engineering and construction of a pilot plant; however, as the date of this filing we have not entered into any definitive agreement for financing of the fourth phase. Management continues to seek financing and believes initial interest in the project remains positive.
In May 2009, TRU Oiltech engaged Mr. Brendon Billings, a senior petroleum engineer with over 30 years of international experience in reservoir optimization as the first member of the TRU Oiltech pilot project advisory team which will be expanded as Rival continues to move forward with the second phase of our four phase business development plan.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company continued to execute on the second phase of its business development plan. Rival is currently focused on concluding an agreement with a large South American oil company that will result in a pilot plant being financed and built. The heavy oil feed-stock for this pilot plant is perfectly suited for maximizing value utilizing the TRU process, even at current crude oil prices. In May 2009, the Company signed a letter of intent for a joint venture with Hamburg Financial Corporation (HFC) to form a 75% (as to Rivals interest) and 25% (as to HFCs interest) joint venture. The Company anticipates that the joint venture will provide an exclusive right to HFC from the date of commencement to December 31, 2010 to exploit Rivals
12
technology with a private American corporation. The parties anticipate that HFC will be responsible to compensate others that may assist, either directly or indirectly, in facilitating the commercial exploitation of Rivals technology out of its share of the joint venture. All expenses, developmental or extraordinary, will be the responsibility of each party, relative to their respective interest in the joint venture. The parties plan to complete an initial licensing agreement during the last half of 2009.
During the third quarter of 2009, HFC began discussions with a large privately held, United States based heavy oil producer/refiner/pipeline company, regarding the use of the TRU process technology. The next step would include construction of a continuous feed pilot plant using the TRU process technology and this oil producers feed stock. Results from this phase would move the project forward to commercial production.
The Company has three additional oil producers in preliminary discussions for a similar arrangement, as well as also taking steps to fund and build its own pilot plant.
Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company signed a Letter of Intent with a group of investors that will provide a $6 million financing to the company. Terms of the proposed agreement are subject to a confidentiality agreement between the parties and will be announced upon successful completion of the agreement expected during the fourth quarter. The funds will be used to complete engineering and construction of the first TRU process, one barrel per day, continuous feed pilot plant.
Material Changes in Financial Condition
We have not received, nor recorded, consolidated revenues from ongoing operations for the past two years and have relied on equity transactions and loans to fund development of our business plan. As a result of equity financing and loans our consolidated cash position at September 30, 2009 was $5,968. We incurred a net loss of $163,112 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $785,111 at September 30, 2009. These factors, as well as the uncertain conditions that the Company faces relative to capital raising activities, create an uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We continue to seek additional capital through public and/or private offerings, intend to target strategic partners in an effort to increase revenues and intend to expand our revenues through strategic acquisitions.
Our challenge for the next twelve months will be to obtain financing to assist the development of our subsidiaries technologies to a commercially viable application and then market them to customers. However, our subsidiaries may be unable to develop each technology to a point where it satisfies the needs of the market. In that case, our subsidiaries may have to research and develop other applications or we may need to abandon our business plans.
In 2007 we received a loan from Epsom Investment Services NV (Epsom) under a convertible promissory note in the amount of $500,000(US) bearing interest of 7% per annum. The promissory note was payable on or before March 31, 2009, but Epsom agreed to extend the due date until demand for payment is presented to the Company. Epsom has the option to convert the principal and interest outstanding at the end of the term into Rival common stock. The conversion price will be the closing market value of the common stock on the last trading day prior to the date Epsom provides Rival with written notice of conversion. As of September 30, 2009, the interest accrued on this loan is $75,845 and the principal and accrued interest due was convertible into 1,799,515 shares of the Companys common stock.
In July, 2009, the Company entered into an additional convertible promissory note with Epsom in the amount of $100,000 bearing interest of 10% per annum. The promissory note and interest are due and will be paid on demand. Under the agreement when demand for payment is presented to the Company, Epsom has the option to convert the principal and interest outstanding at the end of the term into Rival common stock. The conversion price will be the closing market value of the common stock on the last trading day prior to the date Epsom provides Rival with notice. The Company has received $50,000 pursuant to this note. As of September 30, 2009, the interest accrued on this loan is $1,041 and the principal and accrued interest due was convertible into 159,503 shares of the Companys common stock.
In addition, Rival and Epsom entered into a loan agreement related to the prior convertible note, dated August 1, 2007, and the recent July 2, 2009 convertible note. This loan agreement provides that Epsom may release the funds related to the July 2009 note amount in stages. Also, Epsom may secure its debt under both notes and Rival

has agreed to file any necessary documentation to place Epsom in a first position as a secured creditor. In addition, Rival agreed that it will not issue any capital stock, convertible securities or debt without Epsoms express consent.
Material Changes in Results of Operations
Our operating expenses decreased from $278,115 to $135,822 and $66,691 to $35,002 for both the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2009 (the 2009 interim periods) compared to the same periods in 2008. These represented decreases of $142,293 and $31,689 operating expenses for the nine month period and three month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period 2008 were primarily attributable to reduced rental, office expenses and consulting fees in the 2009 interim periods. As a result of the decrease, we recorded a smaller net loss for the 2009 interim periods as compared to the 2008 interim periods.
Working capital, which was current assets less current liabilities, was a deficit of $785,111 at September 30, 2009 compared to a deficit of $613,398 at December 31, 2008. Working capital at September 30, 2009 included cash and cash equivalents of $5,968 and other assets of $2,224, among current assets.
The decrease in the Companys cash flow provided by operating activities from $250,336 to $62,015 was due to the decrease in accounts payable and due to a related party, and the decrease in the net loss was primarily due to the decrease of investor relations expenses, general & administrative expenses, and consulting fees for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 compared with the same period ended September 30, 2008.
The increase in the Companys cash flow provided by the financing activities from $0 to $50,000 was due to the increase in proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 compared with the same period ended September 30, 2008.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We have a history of losses and may never become profitable.
We are unable to fund the development of our subsidiaries business plans and the lack of revenues for continued growth may cause us to delay our business development. At September 30, 2009 we had negative cash flows from operating activities and we will require additional financing to fund our long-term cash needs. We may be required to rely on debt financing, loans from related parties, and private placements of our common stock for that additional funding. Such funding sources may not be available, or the terms of such funding sources may not be acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to find such funding it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern.
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could lead to loss of investor confidence in our reported financial information.
If we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (
A
Section 404"). Effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, then our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our stock could drop significantly.
Pursuant to Section 404, we are required to provide a report by our management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2010 we will be required to provide an attestation from our independent registered public accounting firm as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We cannot assure you as to our independent registered public accounting firms conclusions at December 31, 2010 with respect to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and there is a risk that our independent registered public accounting firm will not be able to conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective as required by Section 404.
