Exhibit 99.5

 

NOTICE OF CHANGE OF AUDITOR


REG TECHNOLOGIES INC.

(the “Company”)




TO:

The British Columbia Securities Commission


AND TO:

ALL HOLDERS OF SHARES IN THE CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY




The Company wishes to report that the board of directors of the Company have made the decision to propose to the holders of qualified securities that a different company be nominated as auditor rather than the current auditor.  By resolution dated August 4, 2009, the board of directors of the Company recommend that Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP, Chartered Accountants be appointed as auditor for the upcoming fiscal year by the Company’s shareholders at the annual general meeting.


The Company reports that during the period of engagement of James Stafford LLP, Chartered Accountants (the “former auditor”) no audit report was prepared.  In the opinion of the Company, there have been no “Reportable Events” (as defined below) reported by Smythe Ratcliffe.


For the purpose of this notice National Policy Statement No. 31 of the Canadian Securities Administrators states that a Reportable Event may consist of “disagreements”, “unresolved issued” and “consultations” between the Company and the former auditor.  Disagreements, unresolved issues and consultations are defined in the policy as follows:


Disagreements


Disagreements refer to any matter of audit scope, accounting principles or policies or financial statements disclosure that, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former auditor, would have resulted in a reservation in the auditor’s report.


Disagreements include both those resolved to the former auditor’s satisfaction and those not resolved to the former auditor’s satisfaction.  Disagreement should have occurred at the decision-making level, i.e. between personnel of the reporting issuer responsible for the finalization of its financial statements and the personnel of the auditor firm responsible for authorizing the issuance of audit reports with respect to the reporting issuer.


The term disagreement is to be interpreted broadly.  It is not necessary for there to have been an argument to have had a disagreement, merely a difference of opinion.  The term disagreement does not include initial differences of opinion, based on incomplete facts or preliminary information, that were later resolved to the former auditor’s satisfaction, provided that the reporting issuer and the former auditor do not continue to have a difference of opinion upon obtaining additional facts or information.





Unresolved Issues


Unresolved issues refer to matter which came to the former auditor’s attention and which, in the former auditor’s opinion, materially impact on the financial statements or audit reports (or which could have a material impact on them), where the former auditor had advised the reporting issuer about the matter and:


a)

the former auditor has been unable to fully explore the matter and reach a conclusion as to its implications prior to a resignation or termination of the former auditor;

b)

the matter was not resolved to the former auditor’s satisfaction prior to a resignation or termination of the former auditor; or

c)

the former auditor is no longer willing to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management of the reporting issuer.


Consultations


Consultations refer to situations where the reporting issued (or someone acting on its behalf) consulted the successor auditor regarding:


a)

the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction (either proposed or complete):

b)

the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the reporting issuer’s financial statements; or

c)

a disagreement as defined above;


and a written report or seriously considered oral advice was provided by the successor auditor to the reporting issuer.


Dated at Richmond, British Columbia, this 6th day of August, 2009.


BY ORDER OF THE BOARD


“John Robertson”
