REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Nova Natural Resources Corporation
I have examined the accompanying balance sheets of Nova Natural Resources Corporation (the Company) as of March 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity, and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2011 to March 31, 2011. A review includes primarily applying analytical procedures to managements financial data and making inquiries of company management. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements as a whole. Accordingly, I do not express such an opinion.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements.
My responsibility is to conduct the review in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require me to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements. I believe that the results of my procedures provide a reasonable basis for my report.
Based on my review, I are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOVA NATURAL RESOURCES CORPORATION
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2011
Note 1 - Nature of Business
Nova Natural Resources Corporation (the "Company" or Nova) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Colorado on April 1, 1993. As at March 31, 2010, the Trust owned 100% of the outstanding shares of each of 1816191 Ontario Limited and Greenestone Clinic Muskoka Inc., both of which were incorporated in 2010 under the laws of the Province of Ontario. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period's financial presentation.
The Company has elected a fiscal year end of December 31.
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
For the Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2011.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 "Income Taxes" which codified SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" and FIN 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments as defined by FASB ASC 825-10-50 include cash, trade accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at March 31, 2011.
FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2011. The Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.

NOVA NATURAL RESOURCES CORPORATION
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2011
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Earnings Per Share Information
FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Basic and diluted loss per share was the same, at the reporting dates, as there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.
Share Based Expenses
ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" codified SFAS No. 123 prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payments award to employees, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights that may be classified as either equity or liabilities. The Company should determine if a present obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction in cash or other assets exists. A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets exists if: (a) the option to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance or (b) the present obligation is implied because of an entity's past practices or stated policies. If a present obligation exists, the transaction should be recognized as a liability; otherwise, the transaction should be recognized as equity
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 "Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees" which codified SFAS 123 and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18 ("EITF 96-18"), "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services". Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction should be determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
Going Concern
The Companys financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company have minimal cash and no material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of common stock in order to implement its business plan, or merge with an operating company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in either situation in order to continue as a going concern. The officers and directors have committed to advancing certain operating costs of the Company.
Principals of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The Companys subsidiarys functional currency is the Canadian dollar (CAD), while the Companys reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (USD). All transactions initiated in Canadian dollars are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Translation" as follows:
i) Monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.
ii) Equity at historical rates.
iii) Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.
Adjustments arising from such translations are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders equity as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Therefore, translation adjustments are not included in determining net loss but reported as other comprehensive income.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Principals of Consolidation (continued)
For foreign currency transactions, the Company translates these amounts to the Companys functional currency at the exchange rate effective on the invoice date. If the exchange rate changes between the time of purchase and the time actual payment is made, a foreign exchange transaction gain or loss results which is included in determining net income for the period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On September 9, 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-01, Topic 105 - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (ASU No. 2009-01). ASU No. 2009-01 re-defines authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities to be only comprised of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) and, for SEC registrants, guidance issued by the SEC. The Codification is a reorganization and compilation of all then-existing authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities, except for guidance issued by the SEC. The Codification is amended to effect non-SEC changes to authoritative GAAP. Adoption of ASU No. 2009-01 only changed the referencing convention of GAAP in Notes to the Financial Statements.
On February 25, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 Subsequent Events Topic 855 Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, effective immediately. The amendments in the ASU remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of US GAAP. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SECs literature. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
On March 5, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11 Derivatives and Hedging Topic 815 Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. This ASU clarifies the guidance within the derivative literature that exempts certain credit related features from analysis as potential embedded derivatives requiring separate accounting. The ASU specifies that an embedded credit derivative feature related to the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another is not subject to bifurcation from a host contract under ASC 815-15-25, Derivatives and Hedging Embedded Derivatives Recognition. All other embedded credit derivative features should be analyzed to determine whether their economic characteristics and risks are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and whether bifurcation is required. The ASU will be effective for the Company in the fourth quarter of 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB codified the consensus reached in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 08-09, Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. FASB ASU No. 2010-17 provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development transactions. FASB ASU No. 2010-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved after the adoption date. The Company does not expect this ASU will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations when it adopts this update on October 1, 2010.
Note 3 - Stockholders Equity
Common Stock
The authorized common stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares with par value of $0.01. As of March 31, 2011 the Company had 5,021,764 shares of its $0.01 par value common stock issued and outstanding.

NOVA NATURAL RESOURCES CORPORATION

March 31, 2011
Note 3 - Stockholders Equity (continued)
Net Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per common share is computed using the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic loss per share. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted averaged number of shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding unless common stock equivalent shares are anti-dilutive. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares that will be exercised. Basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Note 4 - Income Taxes
Current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefits have not been provided for any of the periods presented because the company has experienced operating losses since inception. Under ACS 740 Income Taxes, when it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit. The company has provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that they will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.
The Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 or 2010, applicable under ACS 740. As a result of the adoption of ACS 740, the company did not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax position and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit on the balance sheet.
The component of the Companys deferred tax asset as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is as follows:
| March 31, 2011 |
| December 31, 2010 | |||
Net operating loss carry forward | $ | 6,553,923 |

Valuation allowance |

| (6,322,688) | |
Net deferred tax asset | $ | - |

A reconciliation of income taxes computed at the 35% statutory rate to the income tax recorded is as follows:
| March 31, 2011 |
| December 31, 2010 | ||
Tax at statutory rate | $ | 80,932 |

Net deferred tax asset | $ | - |

The Company did not pay any income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.
The net federal operating loss carry forward will expire in 2023. This carry forward may be limited upon the consummation of a business combination under IRC Section 381.
Note 5 - Related Party Transactions
The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal property from a related party.
During the year, an officer or resident agent of the corporation provided office administration services without charging the company. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly, have not been reflected therein.
The officers and directors for the Company are involved in other business activities and opportunities that, in the future, may result in potential conflicts of interest between the Company and their other business interest. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A) for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 compared with the three month period ended March 31, 2010 provides readers with an overview of the operations of Nova Natural Resources Corporation ("Nova"). The MD&A provides information that the management of Nova believes is important to access and understand the results of operations and the financial condition of the Company.
Our objective is to present readers with a view of Nova through the eyes of management.
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Nova's financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements for the here month period ended March 31, 2011.
About Nova Natural Resources Corporation
Nova has been a business in transition since the divesture of the electronic business. Management has reviewed many business opportunities but has passed on those that did not ensure the company with free and clear assets and exclusive protection of the opportunity. On March 29, 2010 the company entered into an agreement with Greenestone Clinic Inc. (Greenestone) whereby it would provide consulting services to Nova for the development and operation of medical clinics in the province of Ontario, Canada. The term of the agreement was for one year whereby Greenestone would provide both the medical and business expertise in the initial startup of private clinics. Greenestone will provide the technical assistance to ensure the clinics are in compliance with governmental policy and procedure requirements and the necessary detailed operational requirements to operate the clinics. At the time of entering into this agreement, Greenestone had an operational facility with some services Nova plans to offer in its first Ontario facility.
Nova opened its first clinic in the last days of the second quarter of 2010 in North York, Ontario. During the third quarter of 2010, the operations at the North York Clinic increased its medical services with 146 medical procedures performed. The volume of operations continued to increase during the fourth quarter of 2010, such that 172 medical procedures were performed.
For the first quarter 2011, 437 endoscopy procedures were performed giving rise to gross revenue of $223,788, substantially all of which was earned from the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). As amounts owing from OHIP are backed by the government of Ontario, we see very little credit risk attributable to revenues billed to or owing from OHIP from time to time.
Key components of operating expenses during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, 2010 were as follows:
-payments to doctors performing services: in general, the doctor performing the actual medical procedure will receive 60% of the amounts we receive from OHIP as payment for the procedure performed; included in operating expenses for the first quarter 2011 is $129,941 of such amounts owing to doctors
-salaries and wages (primarily) to medical support staff (e.g. nurses, technicians, etc.) in the amount of $40,712
-premises rent of $59,710.82, and
-professional and management fees to third-party executive level service providers (in Canada) of $101,816
During the first quarter the company completed its site inspection by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and was given a pass. This is an intensive review by the College to ensure quality and safety for all patients seen at the clinic. The company agreed to operate a second endoscopy clinic within a Medical center in downtown Toronto. It is anticipated that this clinic at 807 Broadview Avenue will be operational in the fourth quarter 2011.

During the first quarter Greenestone, a consultant to the Company offered to give up premises in Bala, Ontario previously leased by Greenestone and operated as a private medical resort and also allowed the company to use its name. The company though a wholly owned subsidiary Greenestone Clinc Muskoka Inc. (Greenestone Muskoka) entered into a new lease with the owner of the Bala, Ontario property to operate a mental health and addiction treatment center at the property. The owner of the property is company wholly owned by the president of Nova. The lease is a five year lease with renewal options at the end of the first and second years of the five year term. The lease is a net lease and the company has a non-disturbance agreement from the mortgage lenders on the property for the whole term. The company has an option to purchase the property at any time during the term of the lease at appraised values. Greenestone Muskoka purchased all of the assets of the owned by Greenestone that were used for the operation of the Bala property. The new subsidiary will operate all private medical services provided to clients of the company including private executive medicals, coaching, counciling, and addiction treatment. The addiction treatment center is expected to be operational in the third quarter of 2011. Greenestone Muskoka raised $400,000 through the issue of convertible notes during the first quarter to finance the asset purchases and the operational shortfalls prior to opening.
Management's discussion of anticipated future operations contains predictions and projections which may constitute forward looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including provisions contained in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company's actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking Information
This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For this purpose any statements contained in this Form 10-K which is not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as "may", "will", "expect", "believe", "anticipate", "estimate", or "continue" or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within the Company's control.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures I
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Rule 13a-15(f). The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
16
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. 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. 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 the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management made an internal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of 3/31/2011. In making this assessment, it used the experience of the President and CEO. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that the internal control is effective.
