NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December

NOTE A –
BASIS OF PRESENTATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
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 nine months ended December 31, 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 at which time the Company considered itself a Development Stage
Company. 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 $2,391,559 during the Development stage and has negative
working capital of $1,010,395. 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 (“ASC”) 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.
In May
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, codified
under ASC Topic 855. SFAS No. 165 is intended to establish general
standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the
balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available
to be issued. The Company evaluated events between the end of the
most recent quarter, December 31, 2009 and February 18, 2010, the date the
consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and no additional
disclosures were deemed necessary.

Company computes per share amounts in accordance with 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 December 31, 2009,
unvested common shares in the amount of 2,833,336 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.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
January 21, 2010, the Company owed its Chief Executive Officer $376,560 for
salary and expenditures paid by him on behalf of the company. The
company and its President and Chief Executive Officer mutually agreed to
formalize a portion of the debt and issued a $279,656 promissory note maturing
on January 21, 2012. The note bears interest at the rate of 10% per
annum and is payable at maturity. The face amount of the loan 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 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 $41,945 which will be accreted monthly from the
issuance date of the promissory note through maturity and will be recorded as
additional interest expense. Accordingly, at January 21, 2010,
the loan has been recorded at $237,691, net of the discount $41,945, which will
be credited to additional paid in capital.
On
January 26, 2010, the Company issued at par, a $500,000 Secured Convertible
Debenture maturing on January 26, 2011. The debenture bears interest
at the rate of 10% per annum and is payable monthly. The Company has granted a
security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company as
collateral for the debenture. The face amount of the loan 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. Additionally, the Company issued commitment
shares totaling 6,085,193 equivalent to $1,500,000 at the closing date to obtain
the loan. The Company in accordance with APB 14 utilized the Market Approach to
value the debt instrument and allocated the net proceeds from the issuance of
the debenture based upon the pro rata portion of the face value of the
debentures and the undiscounted value of the commitment
shares. Additionally, 15% of Debenture was allocated to a beneficial
conversion feature in accordance with EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27. The
Company concluded that the 15% discount created a beneficial conversion feature
at the commitment date since the effective conversion price of the shares was
less than the stock price at
the commitment date. The beneficial conversion feature and the pro
rata value of the commitment shares aggregated $395,521 which will be accreted
monthly from the issuance date of the Debenture through maturity and will be
recorded as additional interest expense. Accordingly, at
January 26, 2010, the loan has been recorded at $104,479, net of the discount
$395,521 which was credited to additional paid in capital.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
As
indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred
cumulative net operating losses of $2,391,559 during the Development stage and
has negative working capital of $1,010,395. 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 December 31, 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 $1,086,946 in the three months ended December 31, 2009, as
compared to a loss from continuing operations of $19,000 in the corresponding
period in 2008. Loss from continuing operations consists of general
and administrative expenses, which increased from $19,000 to $823,745 in the
three month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, research and development,
which increased from $0 to $253,601 in the three month periods ended December
31, 2008 and 2009, and interest expense, which increased from $0 to $9,600 in
the three month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2009. Each of

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
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective
January 1, 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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.
In May
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, codified
under ASC Topic 855. SFAS No. 165 is intended to establish general
standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the
balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available
to be issued. The Company evaluated events between the end of the
most recent quarter, December 31, 2009 and February 18, 2010, the date the
consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and no additional
disclosures were deemed necessary.

Item 4. Controls and
Procedures
(a) Disclosure
Controls and Procedures.
|
As of the
end of the period covering this Form 10-Q, we evaluated the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures”. We conducted
this evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer.
(i) Definition of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed with
the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our
periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms. As defined by the SEC, such disclosure controls and
procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in such a manner as to
allow timely disclosure decisions.
(ii)
Conclusions with Respect to Our Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures.
Our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer determined that, as of the end of the period covered
by this report, these controls and procedures are adequate
and effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information
relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.
(b) Changes in Internal
Controls.
There
have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that
could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their
evaluation.

On
November 1, 2009, the Company issued a $242,000 promissory note maturing on
October 31, 2010. The note bears interest at the rate of 10% per
annum and is payable at maturity. 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 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. Accordingly, at December 31, 2009,
the loan balance is $211,311, net of the discount $30,689 and amortized discount
of $5,611 which has been charged to interest expense.
On
November 1, 2009, the company entered into a consulting agreement with Philippe
Germaine to provide consulting services in Investor Relations. In connection
with the agreement, the Company will provide a monthly retainer of $3,000 per
month, and issue 15,000 shares of its common stock per month. In
addition, Mr. Germaine received a cash signing bonus of $9,000. In
connection with the agreement, stock based compensation in the amount of $9,000
was recorded based upon average share prices ranging from $.17 to $.41 during
the period.
Effective
October 23, 2009, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Hakim
Zahar as the President of the Company. The agreement calls for a base
salary of $10,000 per month with payments starting November 15,
2009. The executive shall receive a minimum of 50,000 of the
Company’s common stock shares per month starting on the effective date of this
agreement. This agreement can be terminated by either party at
will. In accordance with the terms of the contract, stock based
compensation in the amount of $30,000 has been recognized based on the average
share prices ranging from $.17 to $.41 during the period.
Between
October 22, 2009 and November 4, 2009, the Company sold, under private placement
agreements to four different individuals, 159,929 units consisting of one share
of common stock and one warrant for every two shares sold. The units
were sold at $0.35 per unit resulting in $55,975 proceeds to the
Company. The warrants were valued at approximately $.012 per unit
using a modified binomial analysis and classified as additional paid in
capital.
At
December 31, 2009, 897,454 common shares are included in outstanding
shares although not yet issued.

The above
noted shares were issued in private, isolated transactions without registration
under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). The shares were issued
in reliance on the exemption provided by Rule 506 and/or Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering to
Consultants or to companies owned or controlled by Consultants or Officers of
the Company.
