PowerNova Technologies Corporation

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management

29 February 2008

                  




1.

Nature and Continuance of Operations


PowerNova Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on 6 October 1986 in British Columbia, Canada.  The Company’s shares were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and the Company was suspended from trading on 20 June 2003.


The Company is in the development stage and commenced its current development stage during the year ended 31 May 2000.  The Company is in the business of acquiring and developing hydrogen production technology.


The Company’s financial statements as at 29 February 2008 and for the period then ended have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company has a loss of $24,157 for the nine month ended 29 February 2008 (28 February 2007 – loss of $51,723) and has working capital deficiency of $370,244 at 29 February 2008 (31 May 2007 – $945,879).


Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital.  Management believes that the Company’s capital resources should be adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy during the fiscal year ended 31 May 2008.  However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company’s liquidity problems management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


2.

Significant Accounting Policies


The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”).  These policies conform, in all material respects, with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“United States GAAP”), except as described in Note 12.  Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant.


Basis of presentation


The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applicable to development stage enterprises, and are expressed in Canadian dollars.  The Company’s fiscal year end is 31 May.

Notes to Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management

29 February 2008

                  





Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.


Property, plant and equipment


Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are amortized using the declining balance method at the following annual rate, with half the rate being applied in the year of acquisition:


 

Computer equipment

30%

declining balance

 

Equipment

20%

declining balance


Financial instruments


The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.  Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.


Derivative financial instruments


The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.


Income taxes


Future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the accounting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and for loss carry forwards, and are measured using the tax rates expected to apply when these differences reverse.  A valuation allowance is recorded against any future income tax asset if it is not more likely than not that the asset will be realized.  As at 29 February 2008, the Company’s net future income tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance.


Loss per share


Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  The treasury stock method is used for determining the dilutive effect of options and warrants issued in calculating diluted earnings per share.  Under this method, the dilutive effect on loss per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon the exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments.  It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the year.  For the years presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive.

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management

29 February 2008

                  





Foreign currency translation


The Company’s functional and reporting currency is in Canadian dollar.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars at their applicable historical rates.  Revenues and expenses are translated at rates prevailing at the date of the transaction except for amortization, which is translated at historical rates.  Exchange gains and losses from the translation of foreign currencies are recognized in the period in which they occur.

  

Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.


Comparative figures


Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Share purchase warrants which were exercised by the share purchase warrant holders but the related common shares were not issued at 31 May 2007 and 28 February 2007 have not been included in the computation of diluted loss per share because, due to the loss position of the Company, the effect of issuing these common shares would be antidilutive (Note 7.iii)


All share purchase warrants outstanding at 31 May 2007 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 May 2007 and nine month period ended 28 February 2007 because, due to the loss position of the Company, the effect of exercising of all the share purchase warrants would be antidilutive (Note 7.v).

Commitments


Pursuant to an agreement effective June 2003 and amending agreements to March 2005, the Company acquired the patents pending and exclusive rights to the title of the Alkane and Alkane Group Dehydrogenation with Organometallic Catalysts from two individuals who became directors of the Company.  As consideration the Company issued 20,000,000 common shares and reserved for issuance to these two directors an aggregate of 9,000,000 common shares upon the Company achieving revenues of US$10,000,000 as direct result of the commercialization of the technology rights.  


The Company is committed to issuing 259,276 common shares of the Company related to share subscriptions received in advance of $46,670 (Note 7).

  

During the year ended 31 May 2004, the Company entered into a contract for management services with three directors and officer of the Company requiring a payment of $188,000 per year up to the fiscal year ended 31 May 2006.  


12.

Reconciliation of Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles


These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP.  Except as set out below, these financial statements also comply, in all material respects, with United States GAAP.


Statement of cash flow difference


i.

Comprehensive income


SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses).  SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in the financial statements for the Company.  There are no differences between net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for each of the nine month period ended 29 February 2008, year ended 31 May 2007 and nine month period ended 28 February 2007.

 

ii.

Accounting for impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of


For United States reporting purposes, the Company has adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.  In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and an estimate of future and undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss will be recognized.  Application of SFAS No. 144 would not have a material effect on these financial statements.


iii.

Income taxes


Under United States GAAP, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are revalued for all enacted changes in tax rates.  Under Canadian GAAP, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are revalued for all enacted or substantially enacted changes in tax rates.  The difference between Canadian GAAP and United States GAAP would have not had a material effect on these financial statements.


iv.

Recent pronouncements


In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”, to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments.  SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis.  SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.  SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 14, 2006, with earlier application allowed.  This standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.


In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”.  This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140.  The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs.  SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006.  This adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measures”.  This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements.  However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company would be the first fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.”  This Statement requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit post retirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position, and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income.  SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006.  The Company does not expect that the implementation of SFAS No. 158 will have any material impact on its financial position and results of operations.


In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.”  SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatement in current year financial statements.  SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatement using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors.  SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB No. 108 but does not expect that it will have a material effect on its financial statements.


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”.  This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings.  SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.
