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

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated 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, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2011.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Novo Energies Corporation annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010.

Nature of Business
 
Novo Energies Corporation (“Novo”) intends to own and operate recycling plants that will efficiently, economically, environmentally and profitably recycle scrap tires and plastics into energy and other commodities.  The core of Novo’s technology to recycle tires and plastics into energy is a Multi Stage Hybrid Gasification System (“MSHG”), which undertakes the conversion of carbonaceous feedstock to a gaseous end-product with an upgraded heating value in an environmentally friendly manner, which does not involve combustion or any other reagents or other pollutants.  As an interim step of Novo’s process, Novo will transform scrap tires and plastics into Synthesis gas (syngas), which then is used as a fuel for engines and turbines to produce electricity. The syngas may also be converted into transportation fuel or fuel additives using a standard catalyst-based process such as Fischer-Tropsch.


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 is to initially research available technologies capable of transforming plastic and tires into useful energy commodities. Simultaneously, WTL also intends to plan, build, own, and operate renewable energy plants throughout Canada now utilizing an MSHG technology and using plastic and tire waste as feedstock.

Going Concern

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative net operating losses of $3,840,261 since inception of the development stage and has negative working capital of $995,932.  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 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company considers the Canadian dollar to be its functional currency.  Assets and liabilities were translated into US dollars at year-end exchange rates.  Statement of operations amounts were translated using the average rate during the year.  Gains and losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements were included in accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss, a separate component of stockholders’ deficit.

Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents include investment instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.  There were no cash equivalents in 2010 or 2009.

Equipment and Depreciation

Equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the double declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.  Routine maintenance, repairs and replacement costs are expensed as incurred and improvements that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized.  When equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations.

Consolidated Financial Statements

The financial statements include the accounts and activities of Novo Energies Corporation and its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, WTL Renewable Energies, Inc.  All inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Net Loss Per Common Share

The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260 Earnings per Share (EPS) which 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 for the period.  Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the periods.  A fully diluted calculation was not presented since the results would be anti-dilutive.  During the period ended June 30, 2010, unvested
common shares of 2,108,338 issued for future consulting and implement contracts were excluded from EPS calculations as they were not considered issued for accounting purposes.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock issued for services in accordance with Topic ASC 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation (formerly SFAS No. 123R “Share Based Payments”).  Under this topic, the Black- Scholes pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options and warrants issued.  All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based upon the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

Comprehensive Income

The Company adopted ASC 220-10, Reporting Comprehensive Income, (formerly SFAS No. 130). ASC 220-10 requires the reporting of comprehensive income in addition to net income from operations.

Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.  For the loans payable, the carrying amount reported is based upon the incremental borrowing rates otherwise available to the Company for similar borrowings.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the liability method of accounting.  Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates in effect in years in which differences are expected to reverse.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are expected to be realized.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, primarily fixed assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable.  The Company does perform a periodic assessment of assets for impairment in the absence of such information or indicators.  Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable.  For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, ASC issued 820, Fair Value Measurements.  ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.

In February 2007, ASC issued 825-10 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of ASC 320-10, (“ASC 825-10”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates.  A business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC 740-10 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”).  This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach.  ASC 740-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  Management has adopted ASC 740-10 for 2009, and they evaluate their tax positions on an annual basis, and have determined that as of March 31, 2010, no additional accrual for income taxes other than the federal and state provisions and related interest and estimated penalty accruals are considered necessary.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-17, Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition,  a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.  This standard provides guidance on defining a milestone and when it is appropriate to apply this standard in recognizing revenue from research and development transactions.  In general, this standard permits recognition of revenue from research and development that is contingent upon achievement of one or more specified milestones defined in the research and development arrangements which meet specified criteria for such revenue recognition.  This standard becomes effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2010 and early adoption is permitted.  Management does not believe that adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE C - EQUIPMENT

The Company’s equipment is as follows at June 30, 2010:

NOTE D - NOTE PAYABLE TO CAETE INVEST TRADE, S.A.

On November 1, 2009, the Company issued a $242,000 promissory note to Caete Invest Trade, S.A. maturing on October 31, 2010 (the “Caete Note”).  The note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and is payable at maturity.  The Company’s Chief executive Officer has a beneficial ownership interest in Caete Invest Trade, S.A. The face amount of the note plus accrued interest is convertible into unregistered common stock of the company at the lesser of 100% of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of common stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. on the day prior to the conversion date and a 15% discount to the lowest daily closing “VWAP” of common stock during the five days prior to the conversion date.  The

NOTE D - NOTE PAYABLE TO CAETE INVEST TRADE, S.A. (CONTINUED)

Company,  in  accordance  with  EITF 98-5  and  00-27, utilized  the  Market  approach  to  value  the  debt  instrument and concluded that a beneficial conversion feature exists since the effective conversion price of shares was less than the stock price at commitment date.  The 15% discount created a beneficial conversion feature at the commitment date aggregating $36,300 which is being accreted monthly from the issuance date of the promissory note through maturity and is being recorded as additional interest expense.   On February 4, 2010, $62,428 of the loan was repaid.  Accordingly, at June 30, the loan balance is $169,967 net of the discount $9,605. On June 30, 2010, the Company modified the conversion feature to be convertible into common stock at a fixed price of $0.10 per share.

NOTE E - RELATED PARTY PAYABLES

At June 30, 2010, the related party payables of $349,646 consists of: (a) expenses paid by the Chief Executive Officer on behalf of the Company aggregating $58,589; (b) compensation due other consultants deemed to be shareholders aggregating $122,036; (c) expenses advanced by other shareholders in the amount of $91,021, primarily for travel related expenses; and (d)  unpaid rent payable to companies owned and controlled by the Chief Executive Officer and his wife aggregating $78,000.

NOTE F - NOTE PAYABLE TO CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Effective August 1, 2010, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Seth Shaw to assist the company in developing a business strategy, an acquisition strategy and structure, a capital strategy, and other services.  The term of the agreement is one year.  Compensation includes commitment shares of 1,500,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative net operating losses of $3,840,261 since inception of the development stage and has negative working capital of $995,932.  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 June 30, 2010
 
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  operations of $580,177 in the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to a loss from operations of $207,030 in the corresponding period in 2009.  Loss from operations consists of general and administrative expenses, which increased from $207,030 to $291,939 in the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, research and development, which increased from $0 to $195,398 in the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, and interest expense, which increased from $0 to $92,202 in the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2010.  Each of these increases is attributable to the development of the Company’s technological processes.

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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-17, Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition,  a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.  This standard provides guidance on defining a milestone and when it is appropriate to apply this standard in recognizing revenue from research and development transactions.  In general, this standard permits recognition of revenue from research and development that is contingent upon achievement of one or more specified milestones defined in the research and development arrangements which meet specified criteria for such revenue recognition.  This standard becomes effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2010 and early adoption is permitted.  Management does not believe that adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Responsibility For Financial Information — Management is responsible for the preparation, accuracy, integrity and objectivity of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the other financial information included in this report.  Such information has been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and accordingly, includes certain amounts that represent management’s best estimates and judgments. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
 
Responsibility for Internal Controls — Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. These internal controls consist of policies and procedures that are designed to assess and monitor the effectiveness of the control environment including: risk identification, governance structure, delegations of authority, information flow, communications and control activities.  While no system of internal controls can ensure elimination of all errors and irregularities, Novo Energies Corporation’s internal controls, which are reviewed and modified in response to changing conditions, have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, policies and procedures are followed, transactions are properly executed and reported, and appropriate disclosures are made. The concept of reasonable assurance is based on the recognition that there are limitations in all systems of internal control and that the costs of such systems should be balanced with their benefits.
 
Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — Management has evaluated the Company’ internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010. This evaluation was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is limited as of June 30, 2010 because we have a single director, we do not have an audit committee, there is no segregation of duties in connection with our accounting and the Company is striving to improve on timely replies and financial controls. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
 
 Report On Disclosure Controls And Procedures — As of June 30, 2010, management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, it concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in its periodic filings under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to us to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
