REGI U.S., Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
July 31, 1997
(expressed in U.S. dollars)
(unaudited)



1.   Development Stage Company

     The Company was incorporated in the State of Oregon, U.S.A. on July 27,
     1992 and is in the business of developing and commercially exploiting an
     improved axial vane type rotary engine known as the Rand Cam/Direct Charge
     Engine ("The Engine"). The world-wide marketing and intellectual rights,
     other than the U.S., are held by Rand Energy Group Inc. ("REGI") which
     controls the Company. The Company 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 Engine and REGI will fund 50%.

     In a development stage company, management devotes most of its activities
     to establishing a new business. Planned principle activities have not yet
     produced significant revenue. The ability of the Company to emerge from the
     development stage with respect to its planned principle business activity
     is dependent upon its successful efforts to raise additional equity
     financing and develop the market for its products.

     The Company plans to raise additional funds through a convertible debenture
     issue and a private placement. A total of $50,000 has been raised to date
     pursuant to a $500,000 convertible debenture issue and a total of $263,500
     has been raised subsequent to July 31, 1997 pursuant to a private placement
     offering of 500,000 shares at $1.00 per share.

2.   Acquisition of Rights, Title and Interest

     (a)  On August 20, 1992 the Company acquired the U.S. rights to the
          original Rand Cam-Engine from REGI by issuing 5,700,000 shares at a
          deemed value of $0.01 per share. REGI will receive a 5% net profit
          royalty. The $57,000 deemed value has been expensed as research and
          development in 1995.

     (b)  Pursuant to an agreement with Brian Cherry (a director) dated July 30,
          1992 and amended November 23, 1992 and April 13, 1993, the Company
          acquired the U.S. rights to the improved axial vane rotary engine
          known as the Rand Cam/Direct Charge Engine. On November 9, 1993, in
          consideration for the transferred technology, Mr. Cherry was issued
          100,000 shares of Reg Technologies Inc. ("REG") (a public company
          owning 51% of REGI) with a deemed value of $200,000 and will receive a
          1% net profit royalty. The deemed value of  $200,000 was treated as an
          expense paid by REG on behalf of the Company and treated as an inter-
          company loan. The $200,000 deemed value of intellectual property has
          been expensed as research and development in 1995.

     (c)  Pursuant to a letter of understanding dated December 13, 1993 between
          the Company, REGI and REG (collectively called the grantors) and West
          Virginia University Research Corporation ("WVURC"), the grantors have
          agreed that WVURC shall own 5% of all patented technology and will
          receive 5% of all net profits from sales, licences, royalties or
          income derived from the patented technology.

                                                                             -6-

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

Management's Discussion
- -----------------------

The Company was incorporated in the State of Oregon, U.S.A. on July 27, 1992 and
is in the business of developing and commercially exploiting an improved axial
vane type rotary engine known as the Rand Cam/Direct Charge Engine ("The
Engine"), which is a variation of the original Rand-Cam Engine. The world-wide
marketing and intellectual rights, other than the U.S., are held by Rand Energy
Group Inc. ("REGI") which controls the Company. The Company owns the U.S.
marketing and intellectual rights and has a project cost sharing agreement,
effective May 1, 1993, whereby it will fund 50% of the further development of
The Engine and REGI will fund 50%.

In a development stage company, management devotes most of its activities to
establishing a new business. Planned principle activities have not yet produced
significant revenue. The ability of the Company to emerge from the development
stage with respect to its planned principle business activity is dependent upon
its successful efforts to raise additional equity financing and develop the
market for its products.

Progress Report from May 1, 1997 to September 23, 1997
- ------------------------------------------------------

On July 17, 1997 several proof of concept tests to fire the Rand Cam(TM) Scooter
Engine were successfully completed. The engine parts were inspected and found to
be in excellent condition after the series of tests. Additional tests will be
run in the future.

Several meetings with potential joint venture or licensees were concluded in
July resulting in positive interest in its Rand Cam(TM) compressor and pump
applications. Negotiations to work on their applications are now taking place.
The company's objective is to sign several joint venture or license agreements
with large end users for its Rand Cam(TM) design during fiscal 1998.

During fiscal 1998, the Company plans to raise $500,000 through a three year, 
8 3/4% interest, convertible debenture, of which $50,000 has been raised to
date. The 8 3/4% interest is paid annually and the debenture is convertible into
common shares at $1.25, $1.50 and $1.75 in years one, two and three,
respectively. In the event the shares are trading below $2.00 per share during
ten consecutive trading days during the last month of the third year, the
convertible debenture will be exercisable at 20% below the said ten-day average.
The maturity date is June 15, 2000.

The Company has received $263,500 pursuant to a private placement offering of
500,000 shares at $1.00 per share. Management expects the balance of funds to be
received in October, 1997.

The Company will use these funds to pay down accounts payable and to complete
the development of the Rand Cam(TM) Compressor and Diesel Engine prototypes for
demonstration purposes to potential license and/or joint venture companies.

Results of operations for the three months ended July 31, 1997 compared to the
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
three months ended July 31, 1996
- --------------------------------

There were no revenues from product licensing during the periods.

The net loss in 1997 decreased by $83,000 to $76,000 compared to $159,000 in
1996. The decreased net loss in 1997 was due to administrative expenses which
decreased by $27,000 to $30,000 as compared to $57,000 in 1996. The major
components of this decrease was due to a decrease in office, rent and telephone
by $7,000 to $3,000 as compared to $10,000 in 1996; professional fees decreased
by $18,000 to $5,000 as compared to $23,000 in 1996. During 1997, research and
development costs decreased by $56,000 to $46,000 compared to $102,000 in 1996.
The decrease was due to more cost effective prototype construction activity
during 1997 as compared to extensive completion of prototypes in 1996. Prototype
costs decreased by $30,000 to $8,000 compared to $38,000 in 1996.

Liquidity
- ---------

During the three months ended July 31, 1997, the Company financed its operations
from proceeds from a convertible debenture whereby the Company received $50,000.

During the period the Company received $5,000 and issued 50,000 shares at $.10
per share pursuant to options exercised.

The Company repaid a loan of $7,200 owing to the President of the Company.

The Company's financial resources, including an opening cash balance as at July
31, 1997 of $1,219, totalled $120,229. Cash used, as a result of the net loss
for the period, totalled $73,444, after adjustments to reconcile net loss to
cash. During the period the Company spent $22,640 on patent protection costs.
After the above cash outflows the Company was left with $16,945 as at July 31,
1997. These funds, together with the planned convertible debenture issue of
$500,000 and $500,000 private placement, will be used for further development of
the Rand Cam(TM) Engine, pay off accounts payable totalling $124,812, repay
loans from affiliates totalling $65,066 and to provide working capital.

                                                                             -9-
