Notes to the Financial Statements
November 30, 2008
1. |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
a) |
Basis of Presentation | |
The accompanying audited interim financial statements of Nova have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with Novas audited 2008 annual financial statements and notes thereto contained in Novas Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure required in Novas fiscal 2008 financial statements have been omitted. | ||
b) |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. | ||
2. |
Going Concern | |
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies Nova will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Nova has never generated revenues since inception and is unlikely to generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of Nova as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of Nova to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of November 30, 2008, Nova has accumulated losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding Novas ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should Nova be unable to continue as a going concern. | ||
3. |
Related Party Transactions | |
a) |
During the quarter ended November 30, 2008 the Company recognized a total of $1,500 for donated services at $500 per month and $750 for donated rent at $250 per month provided by the President and Director of Nova. | |
b) |
On September 19, 2008 and September 25, 2008, Nova Mining Corporation borrowed $5,000 (CAD) at each date from the majority shareholder. The loans are due on demand, unsecured and bear no interest | |
4. |
Loan Receivable | |
On April 29, 2008, Nova Mining Corporation loaned Salish Park Holdings Ltd. $50,000 (CAD). Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, Salish has agreed to pay interest to the Company at a rate of 10% per annum, and to repay the loan on or before April 28, 2009. Nova is considering acquiring Salish and the loan to Salish will be considered as part of the purchase price if the acquisition occurs. |

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute "forward-looking statements. These statements, identified by words such as plan, "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "should," "expect" and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under the caption "Part II Item 1A. Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Quarterly 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. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents, particularly our Annual Reports, Quarterly Reports and our Current Reports, we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms we, us, our, Nova, and the Company mean Nova Mining Corporation unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts in this Quarterly Report are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
INTRODUCTION
We were incorporated on December 29, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada.
Until recently, we were engaged in the exploration of our mineral property, called the Columbia VI Claim, located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. During our February 29, 2008 fiscal year, we completed Phase IA of our exploration program on the Columbia VI Claim, which included the placement of a control grid and the collection and analysis of soil and rock samples from the property. In our consulting geologists report on Phase IA, he recommended that we not proceed with any further exploration work on the Columbia VI Claim as the results of the soil and rock samples indicated minimal mineralization on the property. Based on the recommendations of our consulting geologist, we have decided to abandon our exploration program on the Columbia VI Claim and are currently evaluating alternative business opportunities.
Recent Corporate Developments
Effective December 10, 2008 Mr. Terry N. Williams resigned as our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer, and from our Board of Directors. There were no disagreements between Mr. Williams and us regarding any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices.
Mr. Andriy Volianuk, was appointed to our Board of Directors as our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Treasurer in place of Mr. Williams. Since 2000, Mr. Volianuk has owned and operated Volja History College, a private college in Ternopil, Ukraine that teaches the history of the Ukraine. There is currently no compensatory arrangement with Mr. Volianuk for acting as our officer or director.
Concurrently with the change of our President, we moved our principal executive offices to: Zivova Street 26, Suite #8, Ternopil, Ukraine 282001. Our new telephone number is 011-38-0352-520-416. This location is the office our new President Mr. Volianuk.

PLAN OF OPERATION
Based on the recommendations of our consulting geologist, we have decided to abandon our exploration program on the Columbia VI Project and are currently evaluating alternative business opportunities. As a result, we are unable to provide an estimate of our exact financial needs for the next twelve months. However, as at November 30, 2008, we had cash on hand of $13,026 and a working capital deficit of $51,845. As such, we anticipate that we will require substantial financing in the near future in order to meet our current obligations and to continue our operations. In addition, in the event that we are successful in identifying suitable alternative business opportunities, of which there is no assurance, we anticipate that we will need to obtain additional financing in order to pursue those opportunities.
Currently, we do not have any financing arrangements in place and there are no assurances that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Due to the lack of our operating history and our present inability to generate revenues, our auditors have stated in their audit report included in our audited financial statements for the year ended February 29, 2008 that there currently exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Additional general and administrative expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended November 30, 2007 relate primarily to $5,250 in consulting fees paid to a company owned by our former officer and director, Robert Thast. The consulting fees paid to Mr. Thasts company were for services provided in developing and investigating potential business opportunities.
General and administrative expenses increased significantly from the nine months ended November 30, 2007. Additional general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended November 30, 2008 relate primarily to amounts spent on investigating and developing potential business opportunities, including $12,475 paid to a company owned by our former officer and director, Robert Thast.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash During Period | $ | (7,300 | ) | $ | (14,050 | ) |
Our working capital surplus decreased during the nine months ended November 30, 2008 because we had no sources of revenue and our sole source of financing was in the form of short term loans from our former sole executive officer.
During the nine months ended November 30, 2008, we received two loans for an aggregate of $110,000 (CAD) from our former executive officer and former director, Mr. Robert Thast. These loans are due on demand, unsecured and non-interest bearing.
5
We also entered into a loan agreement (the Loan Agreement) dated April 29, 2008 with Salish Park Holdings Ltd. (Salish) whereby we lent $50,000 (CAD) to Salish. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, Salish has agreed to pay interest to us at a rate of 10% per annum, and to repay the loan on or before April 28, 2009.
Financing Requirements
From inception to November 30, 2008, we have suffered cumulative losses in the amount of $178,145. We expect to continue to incur substantial losses as we continue the development of our business. Since our inception, we have funded operations through common stock issuances, related party loans, and the support of creditors in order to meet our strategic objectives. Our management believes that sufficient funding will be available to meet our business objectives, including anticipated cash needs for working capital, and are currently evaluating several financing options, including a public offering of securities. However, we do not have any financing arrangements currently in place and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing when needed. As a result of the foregoing, our independent auditors believe there exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing if and when required. We anticipate that additional financing may come in the form of sales of additional shares of our common stock which may result in dilution to our current shareholders.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no significant 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 that is material to stockholders.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.

Not Applicable.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which is identified in our Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting included with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008, which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation of these controls as of the end of the period covered by this report that could have affected those controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation referred to in the previous paragraph, including any correction action with regard to deficiencies and material weakness.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
