(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2010 (UNAUDITED)

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 nine months ended December 31, 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 $5,486,059 since inception of the development stage and has negative working capital of $1,654,746. 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.

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

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - NATURE OF BUSINESS, GOING CONCERN, AND PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

Use of Estimates (Continued)

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.

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 December 31, 2010, unvested common shares of 1,887,500 issued for future consulting and implement contracts were excluded from EPS calculations as they were not considered issued for accounting purposes.

NOTE B - EQUIPMENT

The Company’s equipment is as follows at December 31, 2010:
			Estimated Life
Computer and office equipment	$	13,431		5 Years
Less: accumulated depreciation		3,580
	$	9,851

NOTE C – LICENSE AGREEMENT

On July 26, 2010, the Company entered into a Technology Collaboration Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Precision Pipe and Vessel, LLC (“Precision”). Precision is currently operating a 2.5 ton daily capacity gasification facility (“Pilot Plant”). Precision will grant to the Company a worldwide exclusive license (the “Exclusive License”) to identify and develop facilities designed to generate synthesis gases and liquid transportation fuels using two feedstock sources, tires and plastics, by employing Precision’s proprietary gasification technology (the “Technology”).

In consideration for granting the Exclusive License, the Company shall: (a) pay the expenses of augmenting the Pilot Plant; and (b) grant up to 5% of the Company’s common stock on July 26, 2010 to Precision. One-half of such securities shall be immediately transferred to Precision while the remaining one-half shall be held in escrow by the Company’s legal counsel pending completion of Phase III at which time such securities shall either be released to Precision upon a successful completion or to the Company upon an unsuccessful completion. On August 10, 2010, The Board approved the issuance of 1,688,886 shares to Precision of which 844,443 were held in escrow. The shares were valued at $0.13 per share aggregating $219,555.

As of December 8, 2010, a cancellation agreement was agreed to by both, Precision Pipe, LLC and Novo Energies Corporation. As a result, the parties acknowledge and agree that the July 10, 2010 Collaboration Agreement has been terminated and the Parties have no further rights or obligations there under. In addition the issuance of 1,688,886 shares to Precision will be returned and cancelled.

On November 1, 2009, the Company issued a $242,000 promissory note to Caete Invest Trade, S.A. maturing on October 31, 2010. 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 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.

On February 4, 2010, $62,428 of the loan was repaid.

The Company and its Chief Executive Officer agreed to formalize a portion of the debt and issued a $172,364 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 was 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 $25,855 which will be accreted monthly from the issuance date of the promissory note through maturity and will be recorded as additional interest expense. 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 resulting in an additional beneficial conversion feature of $65,644. Accordingly, at December 31, 2010, the balance of the loan is $113,397 net of the unamortized discount $58,967.

NOTE G - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE

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 the 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 December 31, 2010, the loan balance is $444,455 net of the discount $55,545. The Company is currently in default with the terms of this convertible debenture.

NOTE I - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820 which defines fair value, provides a consistent framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands fair value financial statement disclosure requirements. ASC 820’s valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions.

ASC 820 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 inputs: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 inputs: Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

The fair value of the company’s cash, miscellaneous receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued expenses approximate the carrying amounts of such investments due to their short maturity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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 $889,126 in the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to a loss from operations of $1,086,946 in the corresponding period in 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In connection with our current liabilities of $1,654,746 as at December 31, 2010, we had the note payable to Caete Invest Trade, S.A. of $179,572, a convertible debenture of $444,455 and accounts payable of $246,584, accrued professional fees of $261,549 and related party payables of $442,084.

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 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

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 — The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the Company’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 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 not effective as of December 31, 2010 due to the following material weaknesses: (a) we have a single director, (b) we do not have an audit committee, and (c) there is no segregation of duties in connection with our accounting. The Company intends to improve on timely reporting and financial controls, but is currently hampered on this end by a need to focus on developing its business. The Company has determined that the material weaknesses identified by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were in effect for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Report On Disclosure Controls And Procedures — As of December 31, 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.
