NOVO ENERGIES CORPORATION

(FORMERLY ATLANTIC WINE AGENCIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009 (Unaudited)


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included.  Results for the six months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2010.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Novo Energies Corporation annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2009.

Nature of Business

Novo Energies Corporation (“Novo”) is engaged in the development of green energy solutions.  Novo is entering the business of transforming plastic and tire wastes into liquid fuel including but not limited to diesel, gasoline and fuel additives.  It intends to utilize a process involving thermolysis and gasification among other technologies to produce low carbon fuels and fuel additives.  Novo’s low capacity equipment can be installed near waste streams where there is a minimum of 15 tons/day of plastic and/or tire waste.

Novo formerly known as Atlantic Wine Agencies, Inc. (“Atlantic”) is organized under the laws of the State of Florida.  Atlantic had vineyards and a winery in South Africa.  The operations of Atlantic were spun-out to the stockholders in September 2008, and a change of control occurred on October 7, 2008.  The Company changed its name to Novo Energies Corporation on June 8, 2009.  The 2008 Financial Statements have been reclassified to give effect to the discontinued operations.

On July 30, 2009, the Company formed its first wholly owned subsidiary - WTL Renewable Energy, Inc. (“WTL”). WTL was established as a Canadian Federal Corporation whose business plan is to plan, build, own, and operate renewable energy plants throughout North America.

Going Concern

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative net operating losses of $9,826,517 since inception and has negative working capital of $558,003.  Management’s plans include the raising of capital through equity markets to fund future operations and the generating of revenue through its business.  Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations.  Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenues will be sufficient to enable it to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  However, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  These financial statements do not

include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE B - CHANGE OF CONTROL

Lusierna Asset Management Ltd. (“Lusierna”), as agent for a group of shareholders, has obtained a controlling interest in the Company’s common shares. Lusierna is an affiliate of Antonio Treminio who became the Company’s new sole Director, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer on October 7, 2008.  Lusierna, as agent, obtained an interest in approximately 50% of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a stock purchase agreement between Lusierna and Sapphire Development Ltd., Crazson Properties, Ltd. and Fairhurst Properties S.A. (“the Sellers”).  Under the Share Purchase Agreement, the Sellers sold 6,930,258 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for $200,000.

NOTE C - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
Effective January 1, 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification became FASB’s official recognized source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB AICPA, EITF and related literature.  Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.  All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies.  Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.
 
The codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  Its adoption had minimal impact on our results.
 

 
NOTE D - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Net Loss Per Common Share

The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.”  Earnings per share (EPS) requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing the income (loss) available to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods, however, no potential common shares are included in the computation of any diluted per share amounts when a loss from continuing operations exists.  During the period ended September 30, 2009, unvested common shares in the amount of 6,818,753 issued for future consulting and employment contracts were excluded from the EPS calculation as they are not considered issued for accounting purposes.

NOTE E - USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Novo Energies Corporation (“Novo”) formerly known as Atlantic Wine Agencies, Inc. (“Atlantic”) is organized under the laws of the State of Florida.  Novo is commencing to develop a new process to transform plastic and tire waste products into liquid fuels such as diesel, gasoline and fuel additives combining thermalysis and gasification among other processes.  Atlantic had vineyards and a winery in South Africa.  The operations of Atlantic were spun-out to the stockholders in September 2008 and a change of control occurred on October 7, 2008.  The Company changed its name to Novo Energies Corporation on June 8, 2009.  The 2008 Financial Statements have been reclassified to give effect to the discontinued operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative net operating losses of $9,826,517 from inception to September 30, 2009 and has negative working capital as of September 30, 2009 of $558,003.  Management’s plans include the raising of capital through equity markets to fund future operations and the generating of revenue through its business.  Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations.  Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenues will be sufficient to enable it to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  However, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operation- Three Months Ended September 30, 2009
 
The Company is currently developing its business, and as a result has no products or services to offer and no revenues.  In developing its business, the Company has undertaken expenses that have resulted in a loss from continuing operations of $773,330 in the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $1,526 in the corresponding period in 2008.  Loss from continuing operations consists of stock-based compensation, which increased from $0 to $405,628 in the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, payroll and other related items, which increased from $0 to $43,056 in the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, and general and administrative expenses, which increased from $1,526 to $324,646 in the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2009. Each of these increases is attributable to the Company having no continuing operations in three month period ended September 30, 2008 as opposed to the developing one it was undertaking in the 2009 period.

Results of Operation- Six Months Ended September 30, 2009
 
The Company is currently developing its business, and as a result has no products or services to offer and no revenues.  In developing its business, the Company has undertaken expenses that have resulted in a loss from continuing operations of $980,360 in the six months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $239,063 in the corresponding period in 2008.  Loss from continuing operations consists of stock-based compensation, which increased from $0 to $453,961 in the six month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, payroll and other related items, which increased from $0 to $75,175 in the six month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, and general and administrative expenses, which increased from $239,063 to $451,224 in the six month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2009. Each of these increases is attributable to the Company having no continuing operations in six month period ended September 30, 2008 as opposed to the developing one it was undertaking in the 2009 period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
In connection with our current liabilities of $558,003 as at September 30, 2009, we had accrued expenses of $206,781, related party payables of $292,676 and accounts payable of $55,049.

At September 30, 2009, the related party payable of $292,676 represents the unpaid salary to the Chief Executive Officer of $100,000, expenses paid by the Chief Executive Officer on behalf of the company aggregating $150,144 and expenses advanced by other shareholders in the amount of $42,532 related primarily to travel related expenses.  Additionally, included in accrued expenses is $39,000 for unpaid rent payable to Lusierna Asset Management, Ltd., a company controlled by the Chief Executive Officer.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
  
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, income taxes and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective January 1, 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification became FASB’s official recognized source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB AICPA, EITF and related literature.  Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.  All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies.  Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.
 
The codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  Its adoption had minimal impact on our results.
