NOVO ENERGIES CORPORATION

(FORMERLY AUSTRALIAN FOREST INDUSTRIES, INC.  AND SUBSIDIARIES)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 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 three months ended June 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”) 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.

Going Concern

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative net operating losses of $9,053,187 since inception and has negative working capital of $270,451.  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”) 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 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

NOTE B -      CHANGE OF CONTROL (CONTINUED)

Properties S.A. (“the Sellers”).  Under the Share Purchase Agreement, the Sellers sold 2,310,086 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for $200,000.

NOTE C -      NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Statement No. 160 (FAS 160), “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an Amendment of ARB No. 51. “FAS 160 changed the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity.  FAS 160 required retrospective adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests.  All other requirements of FAS 160 will be applied prospectively.   The adoption of FAS 160 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”  This FASB Staff Position amends FASB Statement NO. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FASB Staff Position also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require certain disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.”  This FASB Staff Position provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased.  It also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly.  This standard is effective for the Company for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and does not have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS No. 165”), which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. SFAS No. 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations. We evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after June 30, 2009 up through August 19, 2009, the date our financials were issued. During this period, we did not have any material recognizable subsequent events.
 
In June 2009, the FASB approved the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative .  The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE D - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Net Loss Per Common Share

The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “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 June 30, 2009, unvested common shares in the amount of 7,316,668 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 the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

WTL was established as a Canadian Federal Corporation whose business plan is to plan, build, own, and operate renewable energy plants throughout North America.

 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative net operating losses of $9,053,187 since inception and has negative working capital of $270,451.  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.

Our general and administrative expenses decreased to $126,578 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 from $237,539 for the three month period ended June 30, 2008.  We have experienced a net loss of $207,030, equal to a net loss per share of $0.01, for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to a net loss of $294,690, equal to a net loss per share of $0.02, for the three month period ended June 30, 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
In connection with our net loss of $207,030 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, we had accrued expenses of $119,920 and a related party payable of $38,777.

At June 30, 2009, the related party payable of $139,897 represents the unpaid salary to the Chief Executive Officer of $70,000, unreimbursed travel expenses of $5,000, expenses paid by the Chief Executive Officer on behalf of the company aggregating $59,547, and expenses advanced by other shareholders in the amount of $5,350.

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 Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Statement No. 160 (FAS 160), “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an Amendment of ARB No. 51. “FAS 160 changed the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity.  FAS 160 required retrospective adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests.  All other requirements of FAS 160 will be applied prospectively.   The adoption of FAS 160 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”  This FASB Staff Position amends FASB Statement NO. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FASB Staff Position also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require certain disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting

periods.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.”  This FASB Staff Position provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased.  It also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly.  This standard is effective for the Company for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and does not have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS No. 165”), which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. SFAS No. 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations. We evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after June 30, 2009 up through August 19, 2009, the date our financials were issued. During this period, we did not have any material recognizable subsequent events.
 
In June 2009, the FASB approved the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative .  The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
