(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
NOTE 1
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such consolidated financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.
NOTE 2
GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $394,533 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. In addition, the Companys current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,087,065 at September 30, 2010. These factors, as well as the uncertain conditions that the Company faces relative to capital raising activities, create an uncertainty as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is seeking to raise additional capital through public and/or private offerings, targeting strategic partners in an effort to increase revenues, and expanding revenues through strategic acquisitions. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of capital offerings or alternative financing arrangements and expansion of its operations. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,992.
The Company will require additional funding during the next twelve months to finance the growth of its current operations and achieve its strategic objectives. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing sufficient to generate enough cash flow to fund its operations through 2010 and 2011. However management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured.
NOTE 3
INTANGIBLE PROPERTIES
On September 20, 2005, the Company executed an agreement with the new director and president of TRU Oiltech and two other individuals. Under the terms of the agreement, the director and president along with the two other individuals agreed to sell the TRU technology to the Company in exchange for 4,000,000 shares of TRU Oiltech valued at $0.001 per share. Fair value of the shares was determined to be par value as no shares or assets exist prior to this date. TRU Oiltech issued 4,000,000 shares. Fair value of the TRU Technology was negotiated in an arms-length transaction by the parties to be $3,743. As of the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company determined that the intangible property was fully impaired, and recorded an impairment expense of $3,743.
The Company hired a law firm to file patent and trademark applications in Canada and the United States for TRU Oiltechs technology, the subsidiary of the Company. The related costs are capitalized as intangible assets and subject to an amortization period of five years, which management has determined is the economic life of the assets. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the capitalized intangible assets totaled $12,045 and $11,797, respectively. No amortization and impairment are recorded as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 due to the pending status of the intangible assets.

NOTE 4
CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
During August 2007, the Company received $500,000 from a company, Epsom Investment Services NV, a Nevis corporation (Epsom), a non related party, pursuant to a convertible note payable. The note bears interest at 7% per annum, and is due on July 30, 2008. As of December 31, 2007, accrued interest on the note totaled $14,595. Until July 30, 2008, the note holder has the right, at the holders option, to convert the principal and accrued interest on the note, in whole or in part, into shares of the Companys common stock at the closing market value of the common stock on the last trading day prior to the date upon which the note holder provides written notice. The Company adopted FASB ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company incurred debt whereby the convertible feature of the debt provides for a rate of conversion based upon the closing market value of the common stock on the last trading day prior to the date upon which the note holder provides written notice. This would result in a conversion price greater than or equal to the stock price, resulting in no beneficial conversion feature. Therefore, no beneficial conversion features have been recognized in the financial statements of the Company. This note was extended twice during 2008. On December 9, 2009, the note holder extended the convertible note payable again and changed the interest from 7% to 10%. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, accrued interest on the note totaled $122,999 and $84,595, respectively. For the period ended September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the principal and the accrued interest were convertible into 5,663,628 and 2,922,975 shares of the Companys common stock, respectively.
In July, 2009, the Company entered into an additional convertible promissory note with Epsom in the amount of $100,000 bearing interest of 10% per annum. The promissory note and interest are due and will be paid on demand. Under the agreement when demand for payment is presented to the Company,
Epsom has the option to convert the principal and interest outstanding at the end of the term into Rivals common stock. The conversion price will be closing market value of the common stock on the last trading day prior to the date Epsom provides Rival with notice. As of September 30, 2010, the Company has received $100,000 in full, pursuant to this note. Under the agreement when demand for payment is presented to the Company, Epsom has the option to convert the principal and interest outstanding at the end of the term into Rivals common stock. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the interest accrued on this loan was $9,712 and $2,459 and the principal and accrued interest due were convertible into 997,385 and 387,295 shares of the Companys common stock, respectively.
On December 9, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Epsom to renew and extend the convertible notes (noted above). The convertible note is in the principal amount of $649,442, with 10% interest per annum. The convertible note represents the principal and interest Rival owes Epsom under a promissory note in the original principal sum of $500,000, dated August 1, 2007, and a promissory
note in the original principal amount of $100,000, dated June 30, 2009 (discussed above).

NOTE 4
CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)
The convertible note is secured by Rivals personal property. Rival may redeem and prepay the convertible note at any time without penalty. The convertible note is payable upon demand and the conversion rate shall be determined by dividing the principal owed by the closing sale price of Rivals common stock on the trading day prior to the notice conversion. This would result in a conversion price greater than or equal to the stock price, resulting in no beneficial conversion feature. The renewal and extension of the note payable is not substantial when all of the terms remain the same except the interest rate. Therefore, this renewal is not considered as debt extinguishment and no gain or loss is recognized.
On April 2, 2010, the Company signed an additional convertible promissory note agreement with Epsom Investment Services NV (Epsom) in the amount of $50,000 bearing interest of 10% per annum. The promissory note and interest are due and will be paid on demand. Under the agreement when demand for payment is presented to the Company, Epsom has the option to convert the principal and interest outstanding at the end of the term into Rivals common stock. The conversion price will be the closing market value of the common stock on the last trading day prior to the date Epsom provides Rival with notice. On April 4, 2010, the Company has received $50,000 pursuant to this note. As of September 30, 2010, the interest accrued on this loan is $2,452 and the principal and accrued interest due were convertible into 476,837 shares of the Companys common stock.
NOTE 5
NOTE PAYABLE
On April 17, 2003, the Company issued a promissory note of $4,559 to a former director of the Company. The note is unsecured, non-interest bearing and payable on demand. The Company intends to redeem the promissory note in the near future. Consequently, it is classified as a current liability in the balance sheet. During 2009 the Company repaid $609. The principal of the note payable is $3,950 and $4,559 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2009 the Company determined to impute 8% interest which was based on financing costs in the current market. The Company imputed $2,357 in interest expense through the period from April 17, 2003 to September 30, 2010.
NOTE 6
COMMON STOCK
On June 1, 2010, the Company issued 1,454,184 common shares to AMF Services Ltd. for investor relations and marketing services valued at $159,960, or $0.11 per share, pursuant to the invoice submitted on May 31, 2010.
On June 1, 2010, the board of the Company approved the issuance of 200,000 shares of common stock to Moody Capital Solutions Inc. valued at $0.12 per share, or $24,000, pursuant to the financial consultants agreement dated April 19, 2010. The initial terms of this engagement shall be for eight (8) months and be effective on the date of signing. As of September 30, 2010, the Company issued the total of 200,000 shares of its common stock and recorded deferred prepaid expenses of $6,000. The amount of $15,000 is amortized as of September 30, 2010.
NOTE 7
STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
On February 15, 2008, the Company granted to an individual options to purchase up to 18,000 shares of the Companys common stock for consulting services. The options vested upon their issuance. The options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the common stock, the day prior to the signing or renewal of the corresponding consulting agreement. The options expire at the close of business on August 15, 2013.

NOTE 7
STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (Continued)
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model pursuant to FASB ASC718, Share Based Payment and the following assumptions: expected term of 5 ½ years, a risk free interest rate of 2.76%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 142%. Under the provisions of SFAS ASC718 additional consulting expense of $9,037 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2008 and $0 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, pursuant to the Black-Scholes option pricing model for these options.
On April 24, 2009, the Company granted a total of 4,400,000 stock options under its stock option plan to senior management at the exercise price of $0.13 per share. The options vest upon satisfaction of
certain performance markers.

However, this option will terminate before the end of the term if (a) above is not completed on or before December 31, 2009 or (b) above is not completed on or before December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2009, the term for performance marker (a) was extended to December 31, 2010.
The options expire on April 14, 2014. The fair value of options will be vested under the stock option plan when the completion of a satisfactory pilot project is used in commercial application. The Company estimated the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: expected term of 5 years, a risk free interest rate of 1.96%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 149%. No expense has been recorded for the nine month period ending September 30, 2010 related to these options, as they have not vested.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related party transactions are in the normal course of operations, occurring on terms and conditions that are similar to those of transactions with unrelated parties and, therefore, are measured at the exchange amount.
During the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company was charged $79,200 and $48,000 management fees by a Company owned by the President and CEO of the Company, respectively. These amounts are reflected in the Companys statements of operations.
During the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company also received $0 and $4,036 operating expense advances from the President and CEO of the Company, respectively. The Company paid the amount of $4,657 and $4,036 for operating expenses and management fees as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The amounts of $140,293 and $82,157 due to the related party as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, are non-interest bearing and have no specific terms of repayment.
NOTE 9
LITIGATION
On January 8, 2010 The Video Agency, a California corporation, filed a complaint against Rival Technologies, Inc. and Abernathy, Mendelson & Associates LTD (Abernathy) in the Superior Court for the State of California County of Los Angeles, Central District. The Video Agency alleges that Abernathy breached a written contract and failed to pay for the services performed under the contract. The Video Agency alleges that Rival is the alter ego and under control of Abernathy and that the companies are one and the same. Rival Technologies, Inc. has never had a contractual agreement with The Video Agency and, therefore, believes the claims are without merit and will vigorously defend against them. In March 2010, the Company engaged Clark, Goldberg & Madruga to represent the Company and paid a retainer of $10,000. As of September 30, 2010, no contingent liability has been recorded as the Company believes that a successful outcome for The Video Agency is unlikely.

AGREEMENTS

In connection with the services to be provided, as outlined in the agreement with the plan to assist the Company in its outreach to US investors, the Company shall pay to MC, fees with the amount of 200,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company upon engagement.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company issued the total of 200,000 shares of its common stock and recorded prepaid expenses of $6,000. The amount of $15,000 is amortized as of June 30, 2010.
NOTE 11 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In this report references to Rival, Rival Technologies, the Company we, us, and our refer to Rival Technologies, Inc.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report contains these types of statements. Words such as may, expect, believe, anticipate, intend, estimate, project, or continue or comparable terminology used in connection with any discussion of future operating results or financial performance identify forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. All forward-looking statements reflect our present expectation of future events and are subject to a number of important factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We are a holding company operating on a consolidated basis with, our majority-owned subsidiary, TRU Oiltech, Inc and CWI Technology, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary. TRU Oiltech, Inc. is developing the TRU
process, which is a mild, thermal reagent, primary upgrading process designed for heavy crude and oil sands bitumen which improves viscosity for acceptance by pipeline transportation systems. CWI Technology, Inc. is developing the Continuous Water Injection technology (CWI Technology), which is designed to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide and smoke emissions, improve fuel efficiency and provide cleaner operations of diesel engines. CWI has had limited operations since 2008. Both subsidiaries are development stage companies in the licensing and marketing stage for their technologies.
On December 8, 2009, Rival signed a financing agreement with Bridge Gap Konsult that we expect will provide project financing in three stages for the engineering, fabrication and operation of a continuous one Bpd (barrel-per-day) feed pilot plant. Management intends to immediately begin to explore options available to us for securing a farm-in or strategic industry partner for a minimum fifteen Bpd facility. However, as of the date of this filing, we have not received any advances provided for under this financing agreement due to the economic downturn and management is actively seeking funding for our business plan.
Our challenge for the next twelve months will be to obtain financing to assist the development of our subsidiaries technologies to a commercially viable application and then market them to customers. However, our subsidiaries may be unable to develop each technology to a point where it satisfies the needs of the market. In that case, our subsidiaries may have to research and develop other applications or we may need to abandon our business plans.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have not received, nor recorded, consolidated revenues from ongoing operations for the past two years and have relied on equity transactions and loans to fund development of our business plan. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 (2010 nine month period) we did not receive revenues and we relied on proceeds of $75,000 from the Epsom note discussed below. As a result of equity financing and loans our consolidated cash position at September 30, 2010 was $1,992. We incurred a net loss of $394,533 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $1,087,065 at September 30, 2010. These factors, as well as the uncertain conditions that the Company faces relative to capital raising activities, create an uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We continue to seek additional capital through public and/or private offerings, intend to target strategic partners in an effort to increase revenues and intend to expand our revenues through strategic acquisitions.
Our challenge for the next twelve months will be to obtain financing to assist the development of our subsidiaries technologies to a commercially viable application and then market them to customers. However, our subsidiaries may be unable to develop each technology to a point where it satisfies the needs of the market. In that case, our subsidiaries may have to research and develop other applications or we may need to abandon our business plans.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Moody Capital Agreement:
On April 19, 2010, the Company entered into a financial consultants agreement with Moody Capital Solutions Inc., (Moody Capital), a Company located in Alpharetta, Georgia, USA. In connection with the services to be provided, as outlined in the agreement with the plan to assist the Company in its outreach to U.S. investors, the Company agreed to pay Moody Capital the sum of 200,000 restricted shares of Rival common stock upon engagement. The initial term of this engagement shall be for a period of eight (8) months and was effective on the date of signing. On June 1, 2010, the board of the Company approved the issuance of 200,000 shares of Rival common stock, valued at $0.11 per shares, or $24,000, to Moody Capital.
Epsom Notes:
On December 28, 2009, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Convertible Note and a Security Agreement, dated December 9, 2009, with Epsom Investment Services NV (Epsom). The convertible note has a principal amount of $649,441.62, with 10% interest per annum. The convertible note represents the principal and interest Rival owes Epsom under a promissory note in the original principal sum of $500,000, with 7% interest, dated August 1, 2007 and a promissory note in the original principal amount of $100,000, with 10% interest, dated June 30, 2009. Rival received $75,000 under these notes in 2009. The convertible note is secured by Rivals personal property. Rival may redeem and prepay the convertible note at any time without penalty. The convertible note is payable upon demand and the conversion rate shall be determined by dividing the principal owned by the closing sale price of Rivals common stock on the trading day prior to the notice of conversion. Fractional shares shall be rounded up to a full share and the common stock issued in the conversion shall be restricted shares. Rival must reserve authorized shares of common stock equal to 175% of the conversion rate so long as the convertible note is outstanding.
The Epsom senior convertible note restricts Rivals authority to change management, recapitalize or restructure without the prior consent of Epsom. Epsom must consent to any change in Rivals capital structure or revision of its articles of incorporation or bylaws. Rival must obtain Epsoms consent to issue or sell shares of common stock or grant options or convertible securities. In the event Rival issues common stock or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants or property, then Epsom shall be granted the same purchase rights in an amount equal to the shares that could be acquired upon complete conversion of the convertible note at that time. In addition, if any shares issued or sold or other purchase rights have a price less than the conversion price of the convertible note, then the conversion price for the convertible note shall be reduced accordingly. The convertible note also provides anti-dilution provisions for reverse or forward stock splits.
The senior convertible note provides that Epsom must approve any written agreements related to a merger, consolidation or sale of assets by Rival. Any surviving entity must assume the obligation of the convertible note and maintain its senior ranking to all other debts or Epsom may demand redemption of the convertible note. The convertible note provides a right of redemption to Epsom in the event of a change of control. Rival must notify Epsom of any change in control and Epsom may require Rival to convert a portion of the convertible note into cash or, until the cash payment is paid in full, by conversion into shares; the amount to be based upon the formula as outlined in the convertible note.
In connection with the Epsom senior convertible note, Rival granted Epsom a security interest in Rivals personal property currently existing or acquired at a later date. The collateral includes all cash, bank accounts, goods, equipment, fixtures, intangibles, proceeds, chattel paper, inventory, accounts, patents, licenses and intellectual property. Rival has agreed to perfect and protect the security interest held by Epsom and allows Epsom to take any necessary steps to protect its security interest.
On February 2, 2010, the Company received $25,000 pursuant to the Epsom convertible note.
On April 2, 2010, the Company signed an additional convertible promissory note agreement with Epsom Investment Services NV (Epsom) in the amount of $50,000 bearing interest of 10% per annum. The promissory note and interest are due and will be paid on demand. Under the agreement when demand for payment is presented to the Company, Epsom has the option to convert the principal and interest outstanding at the end of the term into Rivals common stock. The conversion price will be closing market value of the common stock on the last trading day prior to the date Epsom provides Rival with notice. On April 4, 2010, the Company has received $50,000, pursuant to this note.
As of September 30, 2010 the total principal of convertible note was $650,000 and the interest accrued on these loans is $135,163 and the principal and interest due were convertible into 7,137,850 shares of the Companys common stock.

Results of Operations
For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2009
We did not record revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 (2010 third quarter) nor for the three months ended September 30, 2009 (2009 third quarter). Our total operating expense increased from $35,002 for the 2009 third quarter to $47,771 for the 2010 third quarter. The increase in the 2010 third quarter was primarily a result of an increase of $11,400 in consulting fees and a $910 recognition of investor relations expense related to our efforts to finance our business operations.
Other expense increased for the 2010 third quarter to $16,281 as compared to $9,791 for the 2009 third quarter as a result of increased interest expense related to additional notes payable.
Our net loss increased to $64,052 for the 2010 third quarter compared to $44,792 for the 2009 third quarter as a result of the increased operating expenses and interest on notes payable.
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009
We did not record revenues for the 2010 nine month period or the 2009 nine month period. Our total operating expenses increased from $135,882 for the 2009 nine month period to $346,267 for the 2010 nine month period. The increase in total operating expense for the 2010 nine month period was primarily attributable to increases of $30,686 in research and development expense, $156,130 in investor relations expense and $97,200 in consulting fees for the 2010 nine month period compared to the same period in 2009.
Other expense increased to $48,266 for the 2010 nine month period as compared to $27,291 for the 2009 nine month period as a result of increased interest expense related to notes payable.
As a result of the increases to operating expense and other expense, we recorded a net loss of $394,533 for the 2010 nine month period as compared to a net loss of $163,112 for the 2009 nine month period.
Working capital, which is current assets less current liabilities, was a deficit of $1,087,065 at September 30, 2010 compared to a deficit of $869,978 at December 31, 2009. The increase in the Companys cash flow used by investing activities from $0 to $248 was due to the increase in intangible assets related to costs associated with applying for patents and trademarks in the United States and Canada for the nine month period in 2010 compared with no cost for the nine month period in 2009. The increase in the Companys cash flow provided by financing activities from $50,000 to $75,000 was due to the proceeds from issuance of convertible notes payable for the 2010 nine month period compared to the nine month period in 2009.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. 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 our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. This information is accumulated and communicated to our executive officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer, who also is our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective and we intend to remedy these deficiencies as described below.

Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and determined that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2010.
Our management determined that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective for the year ended December 31, 2009 due to material weaknesses related to certain internal control deficiencies that were identified by the auditor that required a material adjustment. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Boards Audit Standard No. 5 as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of our financial reporting.
As a result of the material weaknesses we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management intends to mitigate the risk of the material weaknesses going forward by utilizing external financial consulting services, in a more effective manner, prior to the review by our principal independent accounting firm to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and within the time periods specified in the Commissions rule and forms.
Our management determined that there were no other changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On January 8, 2010 The Video Agency, a California corporation, filed a complaint against Rival Technologies, Inc. and Abernathy, Mendelson & Associates LTD (Abernathy) in the Superior Court for the State of California County of Los Angeles, Central District. The Video Agency alleges that Abernathy breached a written contract and failed to pay for the services performed under the contract. The Video Agency alleges that Rival is the alter ego and under control of Abernathy and that the companies are one and the same. Rival Technologies, Inc. has never had a contractual agreement with The Video Agency and, therefore, believes the claims are without merit and will vigorously defend against them. In March 2010, the Company engaged Clark, Goldberg & Madruga to defend the Company and paid a retainer of $10,000. Counsel for The Video Agency failed to appear at preliminary conferences and the Court set the trial date for January 25, 2011. As of September 30, 2010, no contingent liability has been recorded, as the Company believes that a successful outcome for The Video Agency is unlikely.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We have a history of losses and may never become profitable.
We are unable to fund the development of our subsidiaries business plans and the lack of revenues for continued growth may cause us to delay our business development. At September 30, 2010 we had negative cash flows from operating activities and we will require additional financing to fund our long-term cash needs. We may be required to rely on debt financing, loans from related parties, and private placements of our common stock for that additional funding. Such funding sources may not be available, or the terms of such funding sources may not be acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to find such funding it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern.
17
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could lead to loss of investor confidence in our reported financial information.
If we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (
A
Section 404"). Effective internal controls are necessary for the Company to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, then our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our stock could drop significantly.
