BUSINESS OF REG TECHNOLOGIES INC.

 

Reg Technologies Inc. (“Reg Tech” or “the Company”) is a development stage company engaged in the business of developing and building an improved axial vane-type rotary engine known as the RadMax® rotary technology (the “Technology” or the “Rand Cam Engine”), used in the design of lightweight and high efficiency engines, compressors and pumps. Since no marketable product has yet been developed, we have not received any revenues from operations.

 

Our ongoing operation is dependent upon cash flow from successful operations and equity financing. We have incurred a loss of $1,646,708 in the year ended April 30, 2016 (2015 -$994,230; 2014 -$297,653). These consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that would be necessary should it be determined that we may be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION

 

In this Annual Report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian Dollars (“CDN$” or “$”). The Government of Canada permits a floating exchange rate to determine the value of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar (“US$”).

 

FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER STATUS

 

We are a Canadian corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Less than 50% of our common stock is held by United States citizens and residents; our business is administered principally outside the United States; and more than 50% of its assets are located outside the United States. As a result, we believe that we qualify as a “foreign private issuer” for continuing to report regarding the registration of the common stock using this Form 20-F annual report format.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements in this document constitute “forward-looking statements”. Some, but not all, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” and “intend,” statements that an action or event “may,” “might,” “could,” “should,” or “will” be taken or occur, or other similar expressions. Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results, such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or other future events, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following risks: the risks associated with outstanding litigation, if any, risks associated with project development; the need for additional financing; operational risks; uncertainties and risks related to carrying on business in foreign countries; reliance on key personnel; the potential for conflicts of interest among certain officers, directors or promoters with certain other projects; the absence of dividends; currency fluctuations; competition; dilution; the volatility of our common share price and volume; and tax consequences to U.S. Shareholders. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), particularly our Annual Reports on Form 20-F and our Current Reports on Form 6-K.

ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION

 

A. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

 

The summary consolidated financial information set forth below should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our consolidated financial statements, as of and for the years ended April 30, 2016 and 2015, together with the notes thereto, which appear elsewhere in this annual report. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended April 30, 2016 and April 30, 2015 have been audited by A Chan & Company LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

 

The information in the following table is derived from our financial statements and is expressed in Canadian dollars. Since June 1, 1970, the Government of Canada has permitted a floating exchange rate to determine the value of the Canadian dollar as compared to the United States dollar. At April 30, 2016, US$1.00 was equal to approximately C$1.2533. The exchange rates for the past five fiscal years ended April 30, are presented below.

 

The following represents our selected financial data for each of the past five fiscal years, ending on April 30. The data presented is prepared in accordance with IFRS for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.

D. RISK FACTORS

 

The occurrence of any of the following risks could hurt our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such case, the trading price of our shares could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. You should carefully consider the following risks and the other information in this Report and our other filings with the SEC before you decide to invest in us or to maintain or increase your investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not now known to us or that we think are immaterial 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.

 

  - 4 -  
 

 

RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

 

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, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of $25,715,063. Our history consists almost entirely of development of its products funded entirely from the sale of our Common Stock 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 the sales of engines or the licensing of our technology or pursuant to a joint venture, we have received minimal revenues in preparation for licensing or joint venture activities, and there are no assurances that significant revenues will be derived from this activity in the future. 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 Rand Cam Engine which we are developing must be technologically superior or at least equal to other engines 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 credit facility or other 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.

 

  - 5 -  
 

 

We 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 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 Rand Cam Engine which we are developing must be technologically superior or at least equal to other engines which our competitors offer and must have a competitive price/performance ratio to adequately penetrate our potential markets. A number of rotary engines have been designed over the past 80 years but only one, the Wankel, has been able to achieve mechanical practicality and any significant market acceptance. 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 our potential licensees will be able to achieve and maintain end user acceptance of our engine.

 

Our officers lack of experience to manufacture or market our products .

 

Assuming we are successful in developing the Rand Cam Engine, we presently have no proven ability either to manufacture or market the engine. 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 20-F 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 “ Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and Notes to 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 the engine. We do not have “key man” life insurance on such officers and currently have no plans to obtain such insurance. See “Management”. Our success also depends on our ability to attract and retain additional skilled employees.

 

Certain of our directors and officers are also directors and/or officers and/or shareholders of our potential competitors, giving rise to potential conflicts of interest.

 

Several of our directors and officers are also directors, officers or shareholders of other companies. In particular, Mr. Robertson and Mr. Paul Chute are directors and/or officers of both REGI U.S., Inc. Additionally, Mr. Robertson is a director and officer of IAS Energy, Inc., Linux Gold Corp. and Teryl Resources Corp. Some of our directors and officers are engaged in and will continue to be engaged in the search for additional business opportunities on behalf of other corporations, and situations may arise where these directors and officers will be in direct competition with our company. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. Such a conflict poses the risk that we may enter into a transaction on terms which could place us in a worse position than if no conflict existed. Conflicts, if any, will be dealt with in accordance with the relevant provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act . The Board has resolved that any transaction involving a related party to our company is required to be reviewed and approved by our Audit Committee. Our directors are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests and to disclose any interest which they many have in any project or opportunity in respect of which we are proposing to enter into a transaction.

 

  - 6 -  
 

 

As a “foreign private issuer”, we are exempt from the Section 14 proxy rules and Section 16 of the Securities Act, which may result in shareholders having less complete and timely data.

 

The submission of proxy and annual meeting of shareholder information (prepared to Canadian standards) on Form 6-K may result in shareholders having less complete and timely data. The exemption from Section 16 rules regarding sales of common shares by insiders may result in shareholders having less data.

 

We are dependent upon consultants and outside manufacturing facilities .

 

Since our present plans do not provide for a significant 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 our engine. 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 engines and planned applications may contain product errors which could adversely affect our operations.

 

Engines such as the ones proposed by us and our related 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 existing engine 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 engines 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.

 

  - 7 -  
 

 

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 Rand Cam products less attractive or obsolete.

 

New technology or refinement of existing technology could render our Rand Cam 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 engines on a timely basis. There is no assurance that we will be able to do so.

 

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.

 

UNCERTAINTIES AND RISKS RELATING TO COMMON SHARES

 

There is only a limited public market for our common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board and the TSX Venture Exchange and those markets are extremely volatile.

 

There is only a limited public market for our common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board (“ OTCBB ”) and the TSX Venture Exchange (“ TSX.V ”), 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.

 

  - 8 -  
 

 

The market price for our common shares on the OTCBB and the TSX.V 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 OTCBB is less than $5.00 .

 

Since our common shares are not listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ Market within the United States, trading in the common shares on the OTCBB 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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

 

A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

 

We were incorporated in British Columbia on October 6, 1982 as Reg Resources Corp. under a perpetual charter pursuant to the British Columbia Business Corporations Act . On February 23, 1993, we changed our name to Reg Technologies Inc. in order to better reflect our main area of business development. We did not consolidate our shares at the time our name was changed.

 

  - 9 -  
 

 

Our authorized capital consists of unlimited common shares without par value, unlimited preferred shares with a par value of $1.00 per share and unlimited Class “A” non-voting shares without par value. 49,329,670 common shares were issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2016 and the date of this report. There are no Preferred or Class “A” shares currently outstanding. They are not subject to any future call or assessment and they all have equal voting rights. There are no special rights or restrictions of any nature attached to any of the shares and they all rank equally, as to all benefits that might accrue to the holder thereof.

 

Our head office is located at Suite 500 – 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3P6, Canada. Our phone number is 778-836-5581 and our fax number is 778-653-5888.

 

We were initially involved in the mineral development and oil and gas business. The mineral development business produced no revenues from operations and the oil and gas business produced only limited revenues.

 

On May 23, 1986, we entered an agreement which was amended October 20, 1986 (“ Initial Agreement ”) among ourselves, Rand Cam-Engine Corp. (a private company owned by James L. McCann, the inventor of the Rand Cam Engine, and James L. McCann). Under the Initial Agreement, we acquired a 40% interest in a company to be formed, by paying $50,000 and agreeing to expend $200,000 on research and development pertaining to the Rand Cam Engine, which utilizes a new type of design for a rotary internal combustion engine.

 

The new company was formed and incorporated in British Columbia in November 1989, as Rand Energy Group Inc. (“ Rand Energy ”), which would hold all the rights, agreements and patents to the Rand Cam Engine. We acquired 1,200,000 of the issued and outstanding shares of Rand Energy Group Inc. while Rand Cam-Engine Corp. acquired 1,800,000 of the issued and outstanding shares.

 

The Initial Agreement was superseded by an Energy Group Acquisition Agreement dated March 28, 1990 and a Share Purchase Agreement dated March 28, 1990, whereby James L. McCann and Rand Cam- Engine Corp. agreed to transfer all rights, title and interest in and to the Rand Cam Engine to Rand Energy for 1,800,000 common shares of Rand Energy in consideration for certain covenants and warranties along with the $250,000 expended in accordance with the Initial Agreement. We were allotted 1,200,000 common shares of Rand Energy.

 

These agreements resulted in us owning 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of Rand Technologies Inc., with the balance of 60% being owned by Rand Cam-Engine Corp. Pursuant to an amalgamation agreement between the shareholders of Rand Technologies Inc. and Rand Energy, the two companies were amalgamated, effective July 31, 1993. The amalgamated company is called Rand Energy Group Inc. (“ Rand Group ”) and retains the same ownership structure.

 

Under an agreement dated April 27, 1993, between ourselves, Rand Group, Rand Cam-Engine Corp. and James L. McCann, Rand Cam-Engine Corporation agreed to sell to us 330,000 shares of Rand Group, representing a further 11% interest in Rand Group. In consideration for a controlling interest in Rand Group, we agreed to pay Rand Cam-Engine Corporation $50,000 (paid), issue 600,000 shares (expired) of our common shares and grant a participating royalty to a maximum amount of $10,000,000, (“ Participating Royalty ”). The Participating Royalty is to be paid in minimum annual installments of $50,000 per year beginning on the date the first revenues are derived from the license or sale of the patented technology and after shares are issued per above. As part of the minimum payment, we are to pay 5% of all net profits from sales, licenses, royalties or income derived from the patented technology.

Pursuant to an agreement with Brian Cherry (“ Cherry Agreement ”) dated July 30, 1992 , Rand Group was assigned all right, title and interest in the Rand Cam Engine for all countries excluding the United States of America. Also under the Cherry Agreement, REGI U.S., Inc. was assigned from Brian Cherry all right, title and interest in and to the Rand Cam Engine for the United States. Pursuant to a letter of understanding among our company, REGI U.S., Inc. and Rand Group (collectively called the “ Grantors ”) and West Virginia University Research Corporation (“ WVURC ”), the Grantors have agreed that WVURC shall own 5% of all patented technology and will receive 5% of all net profits from sales, licenses, royalties or income derived from the patented technology. A 1% net profit royalty will be payable to Brian Cherry on all U.S. based sales.

 

REGI U.S., INC.

 

REGI U.S., Inc. (“ REGI ”) was, until April 30, 2008, controlled by Rand Group. REGI was formerly controlled by our company by way of a voting trust arrangement, which was cancelled on April 30, 2008.

 

Our direct investment in REGI, together with its 51% ownership in Rand Group, gives us control over approximately 3,378,183 shares of REGI, with a carrying value of US$Nil as of April 30, 2016. We can sell, through a registered broker, up to 33,782 shares of REGI U.S., Inc., being 1% of the issued shares, during any 90 day period. During the year ended April 30, 2011, Rand Energy sold 163,000 REGI share for US$57,050, and Reg Tech sold 295,300 REGI shares for US$73,825. During the years ended April 30, 2012 and 2013 we did not sell any REGI shares. During the year ended April 30, 2014 we sold 44,916 REGI shares. During the year ended April 30, 2015 and 2016 we did not sell REGI shares.

 

At April 30, 2016, the market value of the REGI shares owned by us and Rand Energy was US$67,564.

 

REGI was organized under the laws of the State of Oregon on July 27, 1992 as Sky Technologies, Inc. with its name changed on August 1, 1994. It has a total authorized capital of 100,000,000 common shares. As of April 30, 2016 and the date of this report, a total of 32,779,298 shares of common stock of REGI were issued and outstanding, of which 588,567 are owned by Rand Energy and 2,744,700 shares are owned by Reg Tech.

 

Together with REGI, we are in the business of developing and commercially exploiting an improved axial vane type rotary engine known as the Rand Cam Engine. The world-wide marketing and intellectual rights, other than the U.S., are held by Rand Energy (our Canadian subsidiary 51% owned by us) which holds approximately a 1.80% interest in REGI. REGI owns the U.S. marketing and intellectual rights. Rand Group and REGI have a project cost sharing agreement whereby these companies each fund 50% of the development of the Technology.

 

At April 30, 2016, the Company is owed an aggregate of $1,456,985 (2015 - $1,318,674) by REGI. The amounts owed are unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. As the management does not have reasonable expectations for the recovery of this amount, the balance is written off during the year ended April 30, 2016.

Minewest Silver and Gold Inc.

 

In July, 2010 we incorporated our 80% owned subsidiary Minewest Silver and Gold Corp. Inc. (“Minewest” ), a private company incorporated in British Columbia for the purpose of acquiring and exploring mineral properties. During the year ended April 30, 2011, we transferred to Minewest our 100% ownership in our undivided 50% interest subject to a 5% net smelter return in 33 mining claims (the “Silverknife Property”) in the Tootsee River area of the province of British Columbia for cash payment of $25,000 and issuance of 8,000,000 common shares of Minewest. Effective December 15, 2010 Minewest purchased 100% of Rapitan Resources Inc.’s ownership in 25% interest of the Silverknife Property for cash payment of $10,000 and issuance of 2,0000,000 common shares of Minewest.

 

Effective November 17, 2011 Reg Tech obtained court approval for the Plan of Arrangement. On December 14, 2011, Reg Tech declared Minewest shares as dividend for Reg Tech shareholders on the record date of December 21, 2011, whereby one Minewest shares is to be distributed for seven Reg Tech shares of holders with a minimum of 100 shares and cash payment to be made to shareholders with fewer than 100 shares. The share distribution and cash payments are subject to Minewest being listed on the CSE (formerly CNSX). As a result of the dividend declaration, the Company expects to retain approximately 3,287,737 shares of Minewest.

 

Our stock trades on the OTC BB under the symbol REGRF.OB and on the TSX.V as RRE.V.

 

B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

Nature of Our Operations

 

We are engaged in the business of developing and building an improved axial vane-type rotary engine used in the design of lightweight and high efficiency engines, compressors and pumps. We hold the worldwide intellectual and marketing rights to the Rand Cam Engine, exclusive of the United States, which are held by REGI. REGI owns the U.S. marketing and intellectual rights and has a project cost sharing agreement, whereby it will fund 50% of the further development of the Rand Cam Engine and we will fund 50%.

 

Based upon testing work performed by independent organizations on prototype models, we believe that the Rand Cam Engine holds significant potential in a number of other applications ranging from small stationary equipment to automobiles and aircraft. In additional to its potential use as an internal combustion engine, the Rand Cam Engine design is being employed in the development of several types of compressors, pumps, expanders and other applications.

 

To date, several prototypes of the Rand Cam Engine have been tested and additional development and testing work is continuing. We believe that such development and testing will continue until a commercially feasible design is perfected. There is no assurance at this time, however, that such a commercially feasible design will ever be perfected, or if it is, that it will become profitable. If a commercially feasible design is perfected, we do, however, expect to derive revenues from licensing the Technology relating to the Rand Cam Engine regardless of whether actual commercial production is ever achieved. There is no assurance at this time, however, that revenues will ever be received from licensing the Technology even if it does prove to be commercially feasible.

 

We believe that a large market would exist for a practical rotary engine which could be produced at a competitive price and which could provide a good combination of fuel efficiency, power density and exhaust emissions.

 

Based on the market potential, we believe the Rand Cam Engine is well suited for application to internal combustion engines, pumps, compressors and expansion engines. The mechanism can be scaled to match virtually any size requirement. This flexibility opens the door to large markets being developed.

Products and Projects

 

RadMax™ Pump

 

The Company actively pursued the development of the RadMax™ Pump from early 2007 until March 2008. From September 2007 until March 2008, the Company worked with an industry partner in the water pump industry. The partner evaluated the Pump as a potential new product offering as part of its fire engine chemical dispersant product line. The evaluation and test period ended when the partner had a change in its senior management and their leading advocate left the company. Until there is further interest established in the RadMax™ Pump by an end user, no further work is anticipated.

 

The Company then focused all of its technical resources on validating the seals for a compressor application, leading towards the technology incorporation in the RadMax™ engine.

 

In February 2009 the pump was set up in the Company’s Richmond, B.C. laboratory, for demonstration to interested parties. It is a fully functional prototype capable of pumping twice its internal volume every revolution. Future development would take the form of customization based on interest from another industry partner. Commercialization requires tooling to significantly reduce the cost of the pump in a production environment. Until there is further interest established in the RadMax™ Pump by an end user, no further work is anticipated.

 

RadMax™ Compressor

 

The Company actively pursued the development of high pressure metal seals using the RadMax™ Compressor from July 2007 until September 2007. The technical concept of high pressure metal seals was validated in a prototype compressor test bed that was fabricated from residual hardware. There was no immediate interest by an industry partner to continue a joint development of the RadMax™ Compressor. Until there is further interest established in the RadMax™ Compressor by an end user, no further work will be conducted.

 

The compressor is a fully functional prototype design capable of 48 individual compression events every revolution, which represent twice its internal volume. Future development would take the form of customization based on interest from another industry partner. Commercialization requires tooling to significantly reduce the cost of the compressor in a production environment. Until there is further interest established in the RadMax™ Compressor by an end user, no further work will be conducted.

 

Recent Development

 

On June 1, 2015 we announced that Paul Porter, our chief mechanical engineer, was preparing test facilities for the 375hp diesel engine. He would populate the engine with the new seals and prepare it for full spin testing. This phase of testing should be the final set of tests prior to placing the engine on a dynamometer. The dynamometer testing would allow us to document friction, fuel efficiency, net horsepower and emissions.

 

On September 1, 2015 we announced that the prototype was being assembled, and would be spin tested when assembly was complete. After spin testing, the engine would need to be tested on a dynameter in order to begin the fine tuning of the combustion and determine the horsepower produced.

 

On October 2, 2015 we announced that several parties had expressed interest in working with REGI to develop prototypes that meet their future needs. Preliminary designs had begun to outline physical requirements for several sizes of prototype engines. The ranges of interest were from 165 horsepower down to 5 horsepower. The end use varied from propulsion for land air and sea to power generation for land air and sea. NDA’s had been signed to allow REGI to share data with the appropriate parties, so they could begin estimates based on size and weight for their application. REGI had provided cost estimates for preparation and testing of the prototypes. The programs all included accelerated prototype development and production using state-of-the-art methods to minimize time and development costs. The information provided would be used to request budget money in the near future.

 

  - 13 -  
 

 

On November 10, 2015 we announced that additional testing on the 375 horsepower diesel engine would be completed in Spokane, Washington. The engine was transported to Spokane Washington and was being prepared for spin testing at various RPMs with full lubrication and cooling in preparation for combustion testing.

 

Description of the Markets in Which We Compete

 

We currently face and will continue to face competition in the future from established companies engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing engines and other products. 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 existing engine 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. Internal combustion engines are produced by automobile manufacturers, marine engine manufacturers, heavy equipment manufacturers and specialty aircraft and industrial engine manufacturers. We expect that our engine would be used mainly in industrial and marine applications.

 

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. Without substantially greater financial resources than is currently available to us, however, it is very possible that it may not be able to adequately compete in the engine business. One competitor, Rotary Power International, is presently producing the first production SCORE rotary (Wankel type) engines. Our Rand Cam Engine is more fuel efficient, smaller, quieter, costs less to produce and will have fewer exhaust emissions.

 

We believe that if and when our engine is completely developed, in order to be successful in meeting or overcoming competition which currently exists or may develop in the future, our engine will need to offer superior performance and/or cost advantages over existing engines used in various applications.

 

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

 

The conventional piston type internal combustion engine is the prime competitor of the Rand Cam Engine. Due to the substantial infrastructure built up to support the standard combustion engine, substantial barriers to entry exist into this market.

 

A number of the new engine designs over the last decade have offered advantages on the thermodynamics front (e.g. more efficient use of energy through better combustion, better heat transfer, etc.). In the case of the Rand Cam Engine, its strong point it believed to be in its mechanism, not in its thermodynamics. Whether or not the engine’s mechanism alone will provide the competitive edge necessary to result in a marketable and successful product is unknown at this time.

 

Since we do not have management experience in manufacturing engines, it hopes to be able to follow the same strategy as that of other companies such as Orbital and Wankel, where it would be licensing its technology and would therefore not be directly engaged in manufacturing.

 

  - 14 -  
 

 

An extensive manufacturing study has not been performed to date and it could turn out that the costs to manufacture are prohibitive for one or more reasons. However, the computer modeling done can be utilized to generate manufacturing drawings which could be used to obtain preliminary costing estimates.

 

The development of our business and our ability to maintain our competitive and technical position has depended and will depend, in part, upon our ability to attract and retain qualified scientific, engineering, managerial and manufacturing personnel.

 

Significant competition exists from engine manufacturers and engineering firms specializing in the development of internal combustion engines technology for the automotive, marine, motorcycle and small engine industry. Such competition also exists in the pump and compressor markets which may utilize the Rand Cam technology in their products. 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. We believe, based on the testing of the Rand Cam Engine that the engine is a superior overall engine package to the reciprocating piston engine. This assessment is made on the basis of the Rand Cam Engine’s potential for reduced engine weight and packaging volume, improved performance, and possibly lower manufacturing costs.

 

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. Competition with engines employing Rand Cam technology may also include other lean burn engines, electric motors, gas turbine engines, solar power and hybrid vehicles, and may include concepts not yet known to us.

 

Seasonality

 

We believe that there is no seasonality which affects our products.

 

Availability of Raw Materials

 

Since we are not in production and there are no plans at this time for us to enter the engine 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 the Rand Cam Engine 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 engine or other product which it may ultimately develop to the point of becoming a commercial product.

 

Our current objective is to complete and test the Rand Cam Engine. Based on the successful testing, the prototypes will be used for presentation purposes to potential license and joint venture partners.

 

We expect revenue from license agreements with the potential end users based on the success of the design from the compressor, pump, and diesel engine prototypes. Based on of successful testing of the Rand Cam 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.

 

Patents and Licenses

 

Patents

 

Patent 2,496,157 for the RadMax™ design was granted on June 25, 2013. The term of the patent is for twenty years from the date of the application on February 8, 2005. The title of the patent is Vane-Type Rotary Apparatus with Split Vanes. U.S. patent 5,429,084 was granted on July 4, 1995, to James McCann, Brian Cherry, Patrick Badgley and four other individuals for various improvements incorporated in the RC/DC Engine, This patent has been assigned to us. The patent to the original Rand Cam engine, U.S. Patent 4,401,070, was issued on August 30, 1983 to James McCann and the marketing rights are held by Rand Energy.

 

The RC/DC Engine is composed basically of a disk shaped rotor with drive shaft, which turns, and the housing or stator, which remains stationary. The rotor has two or more vanes that are mounted perpendicular to the direction of rotation and slide back and forth through it. As the rotor turns, the ends of the vanes ride along the insides of the stator housing which have wave-like depressions, causing the vanes to slide back and forth. In the process of turning and sliding, combustion chambers are formed between the rotor, stator walls and vanes where the fuel/air mixture is injected, compressed, burned and exhausted.

 

Two additional patents have been issued for improvements to the engine including: U.S. Patents 5,509,793 “Rotary Device with Slidable Vane Supports, issued April 24, 1996 and 5,551,853 “Axial Vane Rotary Device and Sealing System” issued September 3, 1996.

 

These patents expired and were replaced by U.S. Patent No. 7,896,630 entitled Rotary Device with Reciprocating Vanes and Seals Therefor , which was assigned to REGI U.S. Inc. in 2011, and is currently in good understanding. This patent approved 23 claims of RadMax™ diesel engine technology. The new design claims were far more advanced than the previous Rand Cam technology patents. This patent will expire on February 13, 2027 if all remaining maintenance fees are paid.

 

The worldwide patents cover Canada and several countries in Europe, namely, Germany, France, Great Britain, and Italy.

 

Royalty Payments

 

We are required to pay Rand Group semi-annually a royalty of 5% of any net profits to be derived by us from revenues received as a result of our license of the Rand Cam Engine. We are required to pay Brian Cherry a royalty of 1% semi-annually on any net profits derived by us from revenue received as a result of our licensing the Rand Cam Engine.

 

Other provisions of the April 1993 Agreement call for is (a) to pay to Rand Group a continuing royalty of 5% of the net profits derived from the Technology by us and (b) to pay to Brian Cherry a continuing royalty of 1% of the net profits derived by us from the Technology.

 

Pursuant to the letter of understanding dated December 13, 1993, among us, Rand Group, REGI and WVURC, WVURC will receive 5% of all net profits from sales, licenses, royalties or income derived from the patented technology relating to the Rand Cam Engine and the RC/DC Engine.

Material Effects of Government Regulation

 

Our engine products will be subject to various exhaust emissions standards depending upon the application and the country in which it is produced and/or sold. As each product becomes ready for sale, it will be necessary to have the engine certified according to the standards in effort at that time.

 

C. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

 

As of April 30, 2016 and the date of this report, we own approximately 26.10% interest in Minewest Silver and Gold Inc., a private British Columbia company, and a 51% interest in Rand Energy Group Inc., which owns a 1.80% interest in REGI. We also own an 8.37% interest in REGI.

Plan of Operations

 

The following contains forward-looking statements relating to revenues, expenditures and sufficiency of capital resources. Actual results may differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements for a number of reasons, including those described in this Form 20-F Annual Report. We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information.

 

Source of Funds for Fiscal 2015 and 2016

 

Our primary source of funds since incorporation has been through the issuance of equity securities.

 

We have been successful in the past in acquiring capital through the issuance of common shares and through advances from related parties. Although we intend to continue utilizing these sources, there has been no assurance in the past that these sources and methods would continue to be available in the future.

 

The audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going-concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements, we have no revenues and limited capital, which together raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going-concern. Management plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

In the event that no other sources of capital were available to us in the future, on a reasonable financial basis, we would face the same obstacles as many small, undercapitalized companies do, and, in the worst case, we could be forced to reorganize or liquidate, either of which consequence would likely have an adverse financial effect upon our shareholders.

 

Use of Funds for Fiscal 2017

 

We anticipate that our cash requirements for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2017 will be around $450,000 to carry out research and development activities and maintain our listing status.

ITEM 4A. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

 

This section is not applicable as we are not an accelerated filer or a large accelerated filer, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, or a well-known seasoned issuer as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act.

 

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein. The audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS for fiscal 2015 and 2016.

 

Overview

 

We are a development stage company engaged in the business of developing and commercially exploiting an improved axial vane type rotary engine known as the Rand Cam Engine.

 

As a development stage company, we devote most of our activities to establishing our business. Planned principal activities have not yet produced significant revenues. We have undergone losses to date totaling $25,715,063 and further losses are expected until we complete a licensing agreement with a manufacturer and reseller. 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 equity financing, receive funding from affiliates and controlling shareholders, and develop a market for our products.

 

A. OPERATING RESULTS

 

Results of Operations

 

Fiscal year ended April 30, 2016 compared to fiscal year ended April 30, 2015

 

For the year ended April 30, 2016, we recorded a net and comprehensive loss of $1,646,708 or $0.03 per share, as compared to a net and comprehensive loss of $994,230 or $0.02 per share for the year ended April 30, 2015.

 

The significant increase in net loss was due to the write-off of receivable from REGI of $1,456,985 as the management does not have reasonable expectations for the recovery of this amount.

 

We have generated no revenue from our operations. We have incurred operating expenses and operating loss of $196,613 for the year ended April 30, 2016 (2015 - $275,016).

B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity

 

Fiscal year ended April 30, 2016

 

As of April 30, 2016 we had a cash and cash equivalent position of $54 compared to $175,254 as at April 30, 2015, representing a decrease of $175,200. As at April 30, 2016 we had a working capital deficit of $264,952, compared to a working capital of $1,381,756 as at April 30, 2015.

 

During the year ended April 30, 2016 and April 30, 2015 we did not raise funds from our financing activities.

 

As at April 30, 2016 we were owed $1,456,985 (April 30, 2015 - $1,318,674) by REGI. REGI and the Company is each responsible for 50% of the costs for RadMax Engine research and development and related administrative support.

 

  - 20 -  
 

 

Capital Resources

 

We are still in the development stage of our business and expect to continue with research and development activities and mineral exploration activities for the near future. We do not expect to generate significant revenues in the near future and will have to continue to rely upon the sale of equity securities to raise capital or shareholder loans. Fluctuations in our share price may affect our ability to obtain future financing and the rate of dilution to existing shareholders.

 

We have no funding commitments or arrangements for additional financing at this time and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any additional funds raised will be used for general and administrative expenses, and to continue with our research and development activities. The quantity of funds to be raised and the terms of any equity financing that may be undertaken will be negotiated by management as opportunities to raise funds arise.

 

We estimate that we will require approximately $200,000 to fund our general and administrative expenses for the next twelve months. We will also require approximately $250,000 to fund our share of the costs for the Rand Cam Engine, being the master design integrator, prototype fabrication and labour expense. We do not currently have sufficient working capital to carry out our current operations. In order to continue, we will need to raise funds by way of an equity financing. The quantity of funds to be raised and the terms of any equity financing that may be undertaken will be negotiated by management as opportunities to raise funds arise.

 

Since our incorporation, we have financed our operations almost exclusively through the sale of our common shares to investors and by borrowing from related parties. We expect to finance operations through the sale of equity in the foreseeable future as we do not currently generate any revenues from business operations. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in arranging financing on acceptable terms. To a significant extent, our ability to raise capital is affected by trends and uncertainties beyond our control. Our ability to attain our business objectives may be significantly impaired if the Technology cannot be commercialized.

 

Our objectives when managing capital are to safeguard our ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of the Technology and to maintain a flexible capital structure for our projects for the benefit of our stakeholders. As we are not earning any revenues from operations, our principal source of funds is from the issuance of common shares.

 

C. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC.

 

The basic research and development work on the Rand Cam Engine is being coordinated and funded by our company and REGI as to 50% each.

 

We plan to contract with outside individuals, institutions and companies to perform most of the additional research and development work which we may require to benefit from our rights to the Rand Cam Engine.

 

During the last two fiscal years, we spent $53,983 and $58,402 on research and development in fiscal 2016 and 2015 respectively.

Compensation Objectives and Principles

 

The primary goal of our executive compensation program is to attract and retain the key executives necessary for our long term success, to encourage executives to further our development and our operations, and to motivate top quality and experienced executives. The key elements of our executive compensation program are: (i) base salary; (ii) potential annual incentive award; and (iii) incentive stock options. Our directors are of the view that all elements of the total program should be considered, rather than any single element.

 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

Our executive officers make recommendations to the Board regarding compensation policies and the compensation of senior officers. We do 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 our stock option plan. . These forms of compensation are chosen to attract, retain and motivate the performance of selected directors, officers, employees or consultants 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.

 

Senior executives generally enter into an employment agreement, with standard clauses covering salaries and termination and change of control provisions. The highlights of the employment agreements for the NEOs are outlined below under the section entitled “Management Contracts” and Narrative Discussion under the Summary Compensation Table.

 

Option-based Awards

 

The grant of option-based awards to the senior executives is determined by the recommendation of executive officers to the Board pursuant to the terms of our stock option plan. Previous grants of option-based awards are taken into account when considering new grants. The options are always granted at market price.

Our Memorandum and Articles are incorporated by reference to the information in our registration statement on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in Washington, D.C. on June 15, 1994, to which our Articles of Incorporation and Memorandum were filed as exhibits.

 

We were originally incorporated on October 6, 1982 as Reg Resources Corp. under a perpetual charter pursuant to the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (formerly the Company Act ) by registration of our Memorandum and Articles. On February 23, 1993 we changed our name to Reg Technologies Inc. in order to better reflect our main area of business development. We did not consolidate our shares at the time our name was changed.

 

C. MATERIAL CONTRACTS

 

During the past two years ended April 30, 2016 and April 30, 2015, we were not subject to or entered into any material contracts.

 

D. EXCHANGE CONTROLS

 

There are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada relating to restrictions on the export of capital affecting the remittance of interest, dividends or other payments to nonresident holders of the Registrant’s shares. Any such remittances, however, are subject to withholding tax. See Item 7, “Taxation”.

 

There are no limitations under the laws of Canada, the Province of British Columbia or in the charter or any other constituent documents of our company on the right of foreigners to hold or vote our shares. However, under the provisions of the Investment Canada Act , when control of a Canadian business is acquired by a non- Canadian, the transaction may be reviewable in certain circumstances by Investment Canada, an agency of the federal government of Canada. Reviewable transactions are those in which a non-Canadian acquires the assets of a Canadian business or the voting shares of a Canadian corporation the value of which assets or shares exceeds $5 million (Canadian). Also, certain transactions are specifically exempted from review.

E TAXATION

 

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

The discussion under this heading summarizes the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of shares of our common stock for a shareholder of ours who is not a resident of Canada but is a resident of the U.S. and who will acquire and hold our common shares as capital property for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ Canadian Tax Act ”). This summary does not apply to a shareholder who carries on business in Canada through a “ permanent establishment ” situated in Canada or performs independent personal services in Canada through a fixed base in Canada if the shareholder’s holding in Reg Technologies Inc. is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. This summary is based on the provisions of the Canadian Tax Act and the regulations thereunder and on an understanding of the administrative practices of Canada Revenue Agency, and takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act or regulations made by the Minister of Finance of Canada as of the date hereof. It has been assumed that there will be no other relevant amendment of any governing law although no assurance can be given in this respect. This discussion is general only and is not, nor is it intended to provide a detailed analysis of the income tax implications of any particular shareholder’s interest. Investors are advised to obtain independent advice from a shareholder’s own Canadian and U.S. tax advisors with respect to income tax implications pertinent to their particular circumstances. The provisions of the Canadian Tax Act are subject to income tax treaties to which Canada is a party, including the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the “ Convention ”).

 

Dividends on Common Shares and Other Income

 

Under the Canadian Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is generally subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25 percent on dividends paid or deemed to have been paid to him or her by a corporation resident in Canada. We are responsible for withholding of tax at the source. The Convention limits the rate to 15 percent if the shareholder is a resident of the U.S. and the dividends are beneficially owned by and paid to such shareholder, and to 5 percent if the shareholder is also a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10 percent of the voting stock of the payor corporation.

 

The amount of a stock dividend (for tax purposes) would generally be equal to the amount by which the paid up or our stated capital had increased by reason of the payment of such dividend. We will furnish additional tax information to our shareholders in the event of such a dividend. Interest paid or deemed to be paid on our debt securities held by non-Canadian residents may also be subject to Canadian withholding tax, depending upon the terms and provisions of such securities and any applicable tax treaty.

 

The Convention generally exempts from Canadian income tax dividends paid to a religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organization or to an organization constituted and operated exclusively to administer a pension, retirement or employee benefit fund or plan, if the organization is a resident of the U.S. and is exempt from income tax under the laws of the U.S.

 

Dispositions of Common Shares

 

Under the Canadian Tax Act, a taxpayer’s capital gain or capital loss from a disposition of a share of our common stock is the amount, if any, by which his or her proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by, respectively) the aggregate of his or her adjusted cost base of the share and reasonable expenses of disposition. The capital gain or loss must be computed in Canadian currency using a weighted average adjusted cost base for identical properties. The capital gains net of losses included in income are as follows. For gains net of losses realized before February 28, 2000, as to 75%. For gains net of losses realized after February 27, 2000 and before October 18, 2000, as to 66 2/3%. For gains net of losses realized after October 17, 2000, as to 50%. There are special transitional rules to apply capital losses against capital gains that arose in different periods. The amount by which a shareholder’s capital loss exceeds the capital gain in a year may be deducted from a capital gain realized by the shareholder in the three previous years or any subsequent year, subject to certain restrictions in the case of a corporate shareholder.

 

  - 36 -  
 

 

Under the Canadian Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is subject to Canadian tax on taxable capital gains, and may deduct allowable capital losses, realized on a disposition of “taxable Canadian property.” Shares of our common stock will constitute taxable Canadian property of a shareholder at a particular time if the shareholder used the shares in carrying on business in Canada, or if at any time in the five years immediately preceding the disposition 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series in our capital stock belonged to one or more persons in a group comprising the shareholder and persons with whom the shareholder and persons with whom the shareholder did not deal at arm’s length and in certain other circumstances.

 

The Convention relieves U.S. residents from liability for Canadian tax on capital gains derived on a disposition of shares unless:

 

(a) the value of the shares is derived principally from “ real property ” in Canada, including the right to explore for or exploit natural resources and rights to amounts computed by reference to production;
   
(b) the shareholder was resident in Canada for 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding, and at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding, the disposition and the shares were owned by him when he or she ceased to be resident in Canada; or
   
(c) the shares formed part of the business property of a “ permanent establishment ” that the holder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

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 principal executive and financial officers, 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 on the foregoing, our principal executive and financial officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and reported properly within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

  - 38 -  
 

 

Our management and board of directors strive to remedy the deficiencies by thoroughly reviewing the requirements for filings and the contents of the filings. In addition, we will consult accounting and legal experts on disclosure requirements, and engage them for extensive reviews prior to our filings with the SEC.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. 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 financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

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

 

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.

 

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, 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 to conduct an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because certain deficiencies involving internal controls constituted a material weakness. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

We concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as at April 30, 2016 due to inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk assessment. Once we have adequate funding in place, we will commence a process to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. We intend to remediate the material weakness identified above. To remediate such weakness, we plan to appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management, and adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. These remediation efforts are largely dependent upon securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected.

 

  - 39 -  
 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements and can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Attestation Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

ITEM 16. [RESERVED]

 

ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

 

Committees of the Board and Financial Expert

 

Audit Committee

 

The Board of directors has determined that it does not have a member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Form 20-F of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

We have been unable to retain the services of a person who qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert”. Until we appoint such a person, we believe that the members of our Board of Directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Moreover, the audit committee is comprised of seasoned business professionals.

 

On this basis, we believe that the audit committee has adequate resources available to it when financial expertise and advice are necessary.

 

ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS

 

Code of Ethics

 

Our Board of Directors’ is committed to encouraging and promoting a culture of ethical business conduct and integrity throughout our company. In order to achieve this objective, efforts are made to the implementation, monitoring and enforcement of our Code of 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. We distribute to each new director, officer, employee and consultant our Code.

 

  - 40 -  
 

 

No waivers of any provision of this Code of 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 us on written request, and the text of the code of business conduct and ethics is attached as an exhibit hereto and posted on our website at www.regtech.com .

 

Assessments

 

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

 

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter 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 our approach to corporate governance issues; (b) ensuring that such approach supports our effective functioning with a view to the best interests of our shareholders and effective communication between the Board of Directors and management; 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter is available on our website at www.regtech.com.

 

Additionally, directors and officers are subject to the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, whereby they are required to act honestly, in good faith and in our best interests.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

To: the Shareholders of
  Reg Technologies Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Reg Technologies Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at April 30, 2016 and April 30, 2015, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of changes in equity for the years ended April 30, 2016 and April 30, 2015, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors’ Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s 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 involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at April 30, 2016 and April 30, 2015, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2016 and April 30, 2015 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements which indicates that the Company has incurred losses to date. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Reg Technologies Inc.

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

For the Years Ended April 30, 2016 and 2015

 

1. Nature and Continuance of Operations

 

Reg Technologies Inc. (“Reg Tech” or the “Company”) is a development stage company in the business of developing and commercially exploiting an improved axial vane type rotary engine known as the Rand Cam TM /Direct Charge Engine and other RandCam TM / RadMax® applications, such as compressors and pumps (the “Technology”). The worldwide marketing and intellectual rights, other than in the U.S., are held by the Company, which as at April 30, 2016 owns a 10.17% interest in REGI U.S, Inc. (“REGI”) (a U.S. public company). REGI owns the U.S. marketing and intellectual rights. The Company and REGI have a project cost sharing agreement whereby these two companies each fund 50% of the development of the Technology.

 

On July 6, 2010, Reg Tech incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary Minewest Silver and Gold Inc. (“Minewest”) under the laws of British Columbia. Pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement with Minewest, Reg Tech signed an asset transfer agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) on August 5, 2010 with Minewest to transfer Reg Tech’s undivided 45% interest in mineral claims in the Liard Mining Division, located in northern British Columbia (the “Silverknife Claims”) to Minewest for consideration of cash payment of $25,000 and issuance of 8,000,000 common shares of the Company.

 

Effective November 17, 2011 Reg Tech obtained court approval for the Plan of Arrangement. On December 14, 2011, Reg Tech declared Minewest shares as dividend for Reg Tech shareholders on the record date of December 21, 2011, whereby one Minewest share is distributed for seven Reg Tech shares. As a result of the dividend declaration, the Company expects to retain approximately 3,287,737 shares of Minewest.

 

In a development stage company, management devotes most of its activities to establishing a new business. Planned principal activities have not yet produced any revenues and the Company has incurred recurring operating losses as is normal in development stage companies. The Company has accumulated losses of $25,715,063 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going-concern. The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage with respect to its planned principal business activity is dependent upon its successful efforts to raise additional equity financing, receive funding from affiliates and controlling shareholders, and develop a market for its products.

 

Management is aware that material uncertainties exist, related to current economic conditions, which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue to finance its activities. The Company receives interim support from affiliated companies and plans to raise additional capital through debt and/or equity financings. The Company may also raise additional funds through the exercise of warrants and stock options.

 

There is no certainty that the Company’s efforts to raise additional capital will be successful. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in normal operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

For the Years Ended April 30, 2016 and 2015

 

2. Statement of compliance

 

These consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

These consolidated financial statements were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 26, 2016.

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of preparation

 

These consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments.

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

 

Basis of consolidation and presentation

 

These financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its 80% owned subsidiary Minewest Silver and Gold Inc. (“Minewest”) until November 18, 2011 when the Company lost control (Note 1) and its 51% owned subsidiary, Rand Energy Group Inc. (“Rand”), which owns a 1.80% (2015 – 1.80%) interest in REGI. Reg Tech also owns an 8.37% (2015 – 8.37%) interest in REGI. Prior to April 30, 2008, REGI was considered a controlled subsidiary for consolidation purposes by way of control through an annually renewable voting trusts agreement, with other affiliated companies. This trusts agreement gave the Company 50% control of the voting shares of REGI. The agreement could be cancelled by the President of the 51% owned subsidiary with seven days’ written notice to the affiliated companies. Effective April 30, 2008, the voting trusts agreement was cancelled and consequently the investment in REGI has been accounted for as investment in associates.

 

Starting from November 18, 2011, the accounts of Minewest ceased to be consolidated as a result of Reg Tech’s loss of control in Minewest and consequently were accounted for as investment in associates.

 

All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Investment in associates

 

Investments in which the Company has the ability to exert significant influence but does not have control are accounted for using the equity method whereby the original cost of the investment is adjusted annually for the Company’s share of earnings, losses and dividends during the current year.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

 

Cash equivalents

 

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

 

Equipment

 

Equipment consists of office furniture and equipment, and computer hardware recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year and three-year period, respectively.

 

Research and development costs

 

The Company carries on various research and development activities to develop its technology. Research costs are expensed in the periods in which they are incurred. Development costs that meet all of the criteria to be recognized as an intangible asset, including reasonable expectation regarding future benefits, are capitalized and are amortized over their expected useful lives. To date the Company has not capitalized any development costs.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

 

Transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar are recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the year-end exchange rate while non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in comprehensive loss.

Share - based compensation

 

The Company’s share option plan allows Company employees, directors, officers and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognized as share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee.

 

Fair value is measured at grant date, and each tranche is recognized using the graded vesting method over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest. In situations where equity instruments are issued to consultants and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at the fair value of the share-based payment. Otherwise, share-based payments are measured at the fair value of goods or services received.

 

Income taxes

 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

 

Deferred tax is recorded using the liability method, providing for temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Temporary differences are not provided for relating to goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor tax loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

 

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a future income tax asset will be recovered, it does not recognize the asset.

Loss per share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating diluted loss per share. Under this method the dilutive effect on loss per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, diluted loss per share is not presented where the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants would be anti-dilutive. Shares held in escrow, other than where their release is subject to the passage of time, are not included in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

 

Financial instruments

 

Initial recognition and measurement

 

Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value. Financial assets are classified at initial recognition as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets. The Company does not use any hedging instruments. Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

 

Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3 - inputs that are not based on observable market data.

 

At April 30, 2016, all of the financial instruments measured at fair value are included in Level 1.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, from and to related parties and Minewest, and accounts payable; the fair values of which are considered to approximate their carrying value due to their short-term maturities or ability of prompt liquidation.

Subsequent measurement

 

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss includes financial assets held-for-trading which represent assets that are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. These financial assets are initially recorded in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.

 

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement at fair value, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. Any amortization of the effective interest rate method and any impairment is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.

 

Held-to-maturity investments represent assets to be held until a specific time period and are initially measured at fair value, including transaction costs. After initial measurement at fair value, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. Any amortization of the effective interest rate method and any impairment is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.

 

Available-for-sale financial assets are investments in equity instruments that are measured at fair value with gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, included in other comprehensive income until the asset is removed from the statement of financial position. Once this occurs, the resultant gains or losses are recognized in comprehensive loss. Any permanent impairment of available-for-sale financial assets is also included in the statement of comprehensive loss.

 

Financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and are designated as fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities. Derivative financial liabilities are classified as fair value through profit or loss and are initially recorded in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in finance income or finance cost in the statement of comprehensive loss. Non-derivative financial liabilities are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any amortization of the effective interest rate method is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.

 

Financial assets, others than those at fair value through profit and loss are assessed for indicators of impairment at each period end. Financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. The amount of impairment loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss. Any subsequent reversals of impairment are also recognized in the statement of comprehensive income (loss), except for those related to available-for-sale financial assets.

Mineral property or exploration and evaluation

 

The Company follows the practice of capitalizing all costs relating to the acquisition of, exploration and development of mineral claims and crediting all proceeds received for farm-out arrangements or recovery of costs against the cost of the related claims. Such costs include, but are not exclusive to, geological, geophysical studies, exploratory drilling and sampling. At such time as commercial production commences, these costs will be charged to operations on a unit-of-production method based on proven and probable reserves. The aggregate costs related to abandoned mineral claims are charged to operations at the time of any abandonment or when it has been determined that there is evidence of a permanent impairment. An impairment charge relating to a mineral property is subsequently reversed when new exploration results or actual or potential proceeds on sale or farm-out of the property result in a revised estimate of the recoverable amount but only to the extent that this does not exceed the original carrying value of the property that would have resulted if no impairment had been recognized.

 

The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain financing to complete development of the properties, and on future production or proceeds of disposition.

 

The Company recognizes in income the costs recovered on mineral properties when the amounts received or receivable are in excess of the carrying amount.

 

Upon transfer of “Exploration and evaluation costs “ into “Mine Development “, all subsequent expenditure on the construction, installation or completion of infrastructure facilities is capitalized within “Mine development “. After production starts, all assets included in “Mine development “ are transferred to “Producing Mines “.

Mineral property or exploration and evaluation (Cont’d)

 

All capitalized exploration and evaluation expenditure is monitored for indications of impairment. Where a potential impairment is indicated, assessments are performed for each area of interest. To the extent that exploration expenditure is not expected to be recovered, it is charged to the results of operations. Exploration areas where reserves have been discovered, but require major capital expenditure before production can begin, are continually evaluated to ensure that commercial quantities of reserves exist or to ensure that additional exploration work is underway as planned.

 

Asset retirement and environmental obligations

 

The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement or environmental obligation is recognized when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The asset retirement or environmental obligation is recorded as a liability with a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Subsequently, the asset retirement or environmental cost is charged to operations using a systematic and rational method and the resulting liability is adjusted to reflect period-to-period changes in the liability resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flow. As of April 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company does not have any asset retirement or environmental obligations.

 

Impairment of assets

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s assets (which includes the exploration and evaluation asset) are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.

 

The recoverable amount of assets is the greater of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An impairment loss is only reversed if there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, however, not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in previous years. Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.

New standards and interpretations

 

The following standard has been issued but is not yet effective:

 

(i) Financial instruments

 

The IASB has issued IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments ( “IFRS 9 “) which intends to replace IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement ( “IAS 39 “) in its entirety with three main phases. IFRS 9 will be the new standard for the financial reporting of financial instruments. The IASB tentatively decided to defer the mandatory effective date until January 1, 2018 with earlier adoption still permitted. The Company will evaluate the impact the final standard will have on its financial statements based on the characteristics of its financial instruments at the time of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its financial performance and financial statements disclosures but expects that such impact will not be material.

 

The Company has adopted the following new accounting standards effective May 1, 2014. These changes were in made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions and had no impact on the financial statements.

 

(i) Levies

 

The IASB issued IFRIC 21 - Levies ( “IFRIC 21 “), an interpretation of IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets ( “IAS 37 “), on the accounting for levies imposed by governments. IAS 37 sets out criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past activity or event ( “obligating event “) described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2014.

(ii) Impairment of assets

 

The IASB issued amendments to IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets ( “amendments to IAS 36 “). The amendments to IAS 36 restrict the requirement to disclose the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU to periods in which an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed. The amendments also expand and clarify the disclosure requirements applicable when an asset or CGU’s recoverable amount has been determined on the basis of fair value less cost of disposal. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and should be applied retrospectively.

 

4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions about the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the results of operations. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include determination of accrued liabilities, deferred tax assets and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from the estimates made.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

 

Use of judgements

 

Critical accounting judgements are accounting policies that have been identified as being complex or involving subjective judgements or assessments with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year.

 

(i) Determination of functional currency

 

The Company determines the functional currency through an analysis of several indicators such as expenses and cash flow, financing activities, retention of operating cash flows, and frequency of transactions with the reporting entity.

Use of judgements (Cont’d)

 

(ii) Valuation of share-based payments

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-based payments. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate, and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s earnings and equity reserves.

 

(iii) Income taxes

 

In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified.

 

(iv) Going concern

 

The assessment of the Company’s ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements involves judgment. The directors monitor future cash requirements to assess the Company’s ability to meet these future funding requirements.

5. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

 

Foreign exchange risk

 

The Company is primarily exposed to currency fluctuations relative to the Canadian dollar through expenditures that are denominated in US dollars. Also, the Company is exposed to the impact of currency fluctuations on its monetary assets and liabilities.

 

The operating results and the financial position of the Company are reported in Canadian dollars. Fluctuations in exchange rates will, consequently, have an impact upon the reported operations of the Company and may affect the value of the Company’s assets and liabilities.

 

The Company currently does not enter into financial instruments to manage foreign exchange risk.

 

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in United States dollars:

 

April 30, 2016     Cash    

Advances to

Equity

Accounted

Investee

   

Accounts

Payable

 
        $ 2     $ 28,051     $ 28,049  

 

At April 30, 2016 with other variables unchanged, a +/-10% change in exchange rates would increase/decrease pre-tax loss by approximately +/- $2,805.

 

Interest rate and credit risk

 

As at April 30, 2016, the Company has minimal cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. The Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk arising from operations. The Company’s current policy is to invest any significant excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by reputable financial institutions with which it keeps its bank accounts and management believes the risk of loss to be remote. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks.

 

Receivables consist of goods and services tax due from the Federal Government. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to receivables is remote.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due . The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as outlined in Note 10.

10. Capital Management

 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its technologies and to maintain a flexible capital structure for its projects for the benefit of its stakeholders. As the Company is in the development stage, its principal source of funds is from the issuance of common shares.

 

In the management of capital, the Company includes the share capital as well as cash, receivables, related party receivables and advances to equity accounted investee.

 

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and short-term investments.

 

The Company expects its capital resources, which include a share offering and the sale of investee shares and warrants, will be sufficient to carry its research and development plans and operations through its current operating period.

 

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and there were no changes in its approach to capital management during the year ended April 30, 2016.
