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 and nine months ended December 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2012.  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, 2011.

Nature of Business

Novo Energies Corporation (“Novo”) was involved in the business of exploiting new technologies for the production of energy.  In May 2011, Novo entered into discussions to acquire Immunovative Therapies, Ltd. a wholly owned subsidiary of Immunovative Clinical Research Inc. a clinical research company seeking various business strategies.  On December 12, 2011, Novo entered into a license agreement with Immunovative pursuant to which Novo received an immediate exclusive and worldwide license to commercialize all product candidates (the “Licensed Products”) based on Immunovative’s current and future patents and a patent in-licensed from the University of Arizona.  Immunovative is developing a new class of immunotherapy drugs designed to harness the power of the immune system to treat cancer.  As such, Novo has abandoned its endeavors into the energy business.

Going Concern

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, Novo has incurred cumulative net operating losses of $7,722,333 since inception of the development stage and has negative working capital of $1,309,366. 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 Novo having to curtail or cease operations.  Additionally, even if Novo does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses or 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 Novo’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 Novo 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 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.

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

Net Loss Per Common Share

Novo 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.

NOTE B – LICENSE AGREEENT

On December 12, 2011, Novo entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Immunovative, an Israeli Corporation, pursuant to which Novo received an immediate exclusive and worldwide license to commercialize all the Licensed Products based on Immunovative’s current and future patents and a patent in-licensed from the University of Arizona.  The license granted covers two experimental products for the treatment of cancer in clinical development called AlloStim TM and Allo Vax TM (“Licensed Products”).

In exchange for the license, Novo has undertaken an obligation to pay Immunovative $10 million from the date of the License Agreement until the date that is two years after receiving notice from a regulatory agency in the US, Canada, EU or Thailand of approval to commence a Phase II/III clinical trial (“Regulatory Notice”).  The $10 million due from Novo under the License Agreement is to be paid in the following installments: (i) $450,000 upon the signing of the Agreement (paid in February 2012), (ii) $150,000 at the start of each month after Immunovative submits to a peer-reviewed  journal a manuscript for publication describing the results of the Phase I/II clinical trial conducted pursuant to IND 13,9361 until the $10 million has been paid, (iii) $2 million within 60 days of receiving Regulatory Notice and (iv) at any time that Novo chooses prior to the dates above.

Upon successful completion of a randomized Phase II/III clinical trial (the “Clinical Trial”) designed to prove the efficacy of at least one of the Licensed Products, Novo and Immunovative have agreed to consummate a merger transaction (either directly or through a subsidiary of Novo) with the Immunovative shareholders immediately prior to the merger owning 75% of the post-merger shares and the shareholders of Novo immediately prior to the merger owning 25% of the post-merger shares on a fully diluted basis.  The successful completion of the Clinical Trial shall be defined as the date that the treatment protocol for the number of evaluable subjects necessary to conduct a statistical analysis comparing a placebo control group with a Licensed Product is completed, whereby there is sufficient power to detect a statistically significant (p<0.10) increase in overall survival of 50% or greater of the Licensed Product as compared to the placebo.

The License Agreement provides that the percentage of the post-merger shares that the shareholders of Novo immediately prior to the merger will increase in certain circumstances, including if Novo provides Immunovative more than the $10 million set out in the License Agreement and if Immunovative has outstanding debt (excluding any liabilities owed to patent attorney or for patent maintenance fees) at the time of the merger.  Likewise the License Agreement provides that the percentage of the post-merger shares that the shareholders of Novo immediately prior to the merger will decrease in certain circumstances, including if Immunovative raises funds on its own or if Novo has outstanding debts at the time of the merger.

If there is a successful completion of a Clinical Trial but Novo has not paid the full $10 million, the parties may agree to merge or Novo may receive shares of Immunovative based on the amount of funds the Company has provided Immunovative and the license will terminate.  If there is not a successful completion of a Clinical Trial and Novo decides to continue to fund the clinical trials, Novo will receive shares in Immunovative for any additional payments more than $10 million.  In each of these instances, the shares that Novo will receive will be based on a valuation (prior to the funds provided by Novo) of Immunovative of $30 million, which can be decreased for any outstanding debts (with the exception of patent related debts and trade liabilities) of Immunovative or increased for any funds raised by Immunovative on its own.

If Novo pays all amounts due under the License Agreement, but there is no successful completion of a Clinical Trial, Novo and Immunovative may nevertheless agree to merge.  If they do not, Novo shall maintain the license granted under the License Agreement.

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

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative net operating losses of $7,722,333 since inception of the development stage and has negative working capital of $1,309,366.  Management’s plans include the raising of capital through equity markets to fund future operations and generating of revenue through its business.  Failure to raise adequate capital, seek a merger candidate 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.

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.

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.

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, 2011, 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.
