        BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the Companys interim financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented.  This report on Form 10-QSB should be read in conjunction with the Companys financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-KSB/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.  The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context.  Accordingly, footnote disclosure, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the Companys Form 10-KSB/A for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2005, has been omitted.  The results of operations for the three-month and six-month period ended December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending June 30, 2006. 2.
        NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN Novastar Resources Ltd. (the Company) was previously a development stage company since its formation engaged in the business of providing turnkey private label internet services to organizations throughout the domestic United States and Canada.  Commencing July 1, 2003, the Company became an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral claims.  Upon location of a commercial minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for its extraction and enter a development stage. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company changed its name from Custom Branded Networks, Inc. and increased its authorized common shares from 50,000,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares and also authorized 50,000,000 preferred shares for issuance at a par value of $0.001. Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.        - 12 -   NOVASTAR RESOURCES LTD. (Formerly Custom Branded Networks, Inc.) (An Exploration Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2005 (Unaudited) (Stated in U.S. Dollars) 2.
        NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN(Continued) As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $9,977,255 since inception, and has had minimal sales.  The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its mineral claims.  Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. 3.
        RESTRICTED CASH During the year ended June 30, 2005, proceeds totaling $94,140 were received in accordance with a planned private placement of common stock scheduled to close subsequent to the year end.  This private placement was terminated and no shares of the Company were issued.  During the period ended December 31, 2005, $89,140 was reimbursed to the subscribers in cash, while the balance was used, with the consent of the subscribers, towards the private placement that closed in the same period. 4.

The warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.05 per share until January 20, 2008.  The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: weighted average expected life of 3 years, volatility of 24%, rate of quarterly dividends - $nil, risk free interest rate of 3.5%.  The $1,000,000 consideration was allocated to the common stock and share purchase warrants based upon their relative fair values on the date of conversion.  The amount allocated to the common shares issued was $504,166.  The amount allocated to the share purchase warrants was $495,834. Because the market interest rate on similar types of notes was approximately 14% per annum the day the notes were issued, the Company had recorded a discount of $579,378 related to the beneficial conversion feature.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Specifically, we cannot guarantee closing of our pending acquisition of Thorium Power, Inc. pursuant to the definitive merger agreement we signed with them on February 14, 2006. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars. As used in this quarterly report, the terms we, us, our company, the Company, Novastar Resources and Novastar mean Novastar Resources Ltd., a Nevada corporation, unless otherwise indicated. Background We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 2, 1999, under the name of Aquistar Ventures (USA) Inc. Our company was organized for the purpose of exploring for and developing mineral properties primarily in the province of Ontario, Canada, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Aquistar Ventures Inc.  Aquistar Ventures Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada, on April 13, 1995 and is now inactive. On February 2, 2001, our company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of a company named Custom Branded Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in exchange for 25,000,000 shares of common stock of the company.  Our company then changed its name to Custom Branded Networks, Inc. The business of Custom Branded Networks, Inc., which was our companys wholly-owned subsidiary, was the provision of turnkey private label internet solutions to businesses and private organizations. Effective May 10, 2005, our company changed its name to Novastar Resources Ltd. Its legal predecessor Custom Branded Networks, Inc. had ceased its business of providing private label internet solutions and was searching for new business opportunities in hopes of enhancing shareholder value. Our board of directors decided to pursue a business model within the mining and exploration sector and proposed a name change accordingly. Our Business Novastar is a minerals exploration company with the objectives of both driving global demand for Thorium and becoming a global supplier of thorium to the nuclear energy industry. To this end, we have acquired and plan to acquire both physical properties and rights to properties that contain monazite deposits. The phosphate mineral monazite, which exists as a sand, contains concentrations of thorium oxide as well as other Rare Earth Minerals (REM). All commercial grade Thorium metal (in Oxide Form) is extracted from mineral monazite.       - 21 -   During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, we entered into an agreement to acquire a 51% (up to 91%) interest in mineral leases located in Alabama, U.S.A., prospective for REM and Platinum Group Metals (PGM). In the previous quarter ended September 30, 2005, we entered in to an agreement to acquire a 100% undivided interest in three mineral interests located in the state of North Queensland, Australia prospective for mining Thorium and REM and an agreement under which we were assigned minerals leases in Alabama prospective for mining Thorium and REM. Subsequent to December 31, 2005 we entered into a definitive merger agreement to merge with Thorium Power, Inc. (Thorium Power), a privately-held Washington, D.C. area-based company that develops and deploys thorium-based nuclear fuel technologies designed to stop the production of weapons-suitable plutonium and eliminate existing plutonium stockpiles. Overview Utilizing thorium based nuclear fuels has several important societal benefits, such as safety benefits, environmental benefits, and non-proliferation benefits. Thorium is more abundant, more efficient and safer to use as a reactor fuel than uranium. Also important, thorium reactors leave behind very little weapons grade plutonium. As of December 31, 2005, there was not yet global demand for thorium as a source of nuclear fuel. We believe that there will be significant surges in demand for thorium at some future point; however we are unable to predict when or if this will occur. In addition to the acquisition of thorium properties and mineral rights, we have identified potential short-term revenue opportunities to supplement our business since other metals of commercial significance can be extracted from monazite, namely, REM of the Yttrium Group. REM can be divided into two groups, the first containing Yttrium, Lanthanum, Cerium, Neodymium (Yttrium Group), and the second containing Europium, Gadolinium, Terbium, Dysprosium, Holmium, & Erbium (Dysprosium Group). Mineral monazite only contains concentrations of REM classified in the Yttrium Group. We plan on processing and stockpiling REM as a by-product of mining and refining monazite into thorium oxide.  We are in the process of identifying potential buyers of REM both in the United States and abroad. Prior to the quarter ended December 31, 2005 we entered into an informal strategic relationship with Thorium Power (www.thoriumpower.com). During the quarter, we solidified our relationship by investing $150,000 in acquiring an equity stake in Thorium Power. We purchased 37,500 common shares at a price of $4 per share, acquiring less than 1% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Thorium Power. Further, we entered into negotiations for a possible business combination of Novastar and Thorium Power.  Subsequent to quarter-end, on January 10, 2006, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent for a business combination between Novastar and Thorium Power. Merger Agreement On February 14, 2006, Novastar Resources entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Thorium Power and TP Acquisition Corp., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Novastar Resources formed in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  Concurrently therewith, Novastar Resources (1) adopted its 2006 Stock Plan, (2) entered into an employment agreement with Seth Grae, President and Chief Executive Officer of Thorium Power, (3) granted certain nonqualified stock options to Mr. Grae and (4) entered into a subscription agreement with Thorium Power for the purchase of 150,000 shares of common stock of Thorium Power for $4.00 per share.  In addition, Novastar Resources has amended and restated its consulting agreement with Alan Gelband.  Prior to and in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Novastar Resources owned 175,000 shares of
common stock of Thorium Power and has had an informal strategic relationship with Thorium Power. Upon consummation of the merger, which has been approved by the board of directors of both Novastar Resources and Thorium Power, Thorium Power will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Novastar Resources, and the combined company will operate under the name Thorium Power Ltd.  Under the Merger Agreement, each common       - 22 -   share of Thorium Power will be converted into securities of Novastar Resources such that Thorium Powers current stockholders will own approximately 54.5% of the combined company, and each share of Novastar Resources common stock will remain outstanding.  In addition, Novastar Resources anticipates the appointment of new directors and officers following the merger.  The combined company will be headquartered in the Washington D.C. area, where Thorium Power is presently based. The merger is conditioned upon, among other things, approvals by stockholders of Novastar Resources and Thorium Power of certain corporate matters, no legal impediment to the merger, the absence of any material adverse effect on Novastar Resources or Thorium Power, completion of due diligence reviews by both companies, the declaration of effectiveness of a registration statement by the Securities and Exchange Commission and any other necessary regulatory approvals.  The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Novastar Resources and Thorium Power, and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, either company may be required to pay the other company a termination fee of $500,000. 2006 Stock Plan Effective February 14, 2006, Novastar Resources adopted its 2006 Stock Plan.  The 2006 Stock Plan provides for grants of restricted shares of common stock and grants of stock options.  Under the terms of the 2006 Stock Plan, Novastar Resources may grant a maximum of 20 million shares of common stock, to consist of no more than 20 million shares issuable under incentive stock options and no more than 10 million restricted shares of common stock.  The maximum number of restricted shares that may be granted to one individual in any fiscal year is five million shares, and the maximum number of options that may be granted to one individual in any fiscal year is eight million shares. Subscription Agreement Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on February 14, 2006, Novastar Resources entered into an agreement with Thorium Power for the acquisition of 150,000 shares of Thorium Powers common stock.  The purchase price was $4.00 per share, for a total purchase price of $600,000.  As a result of this acquisition and the shares that had been previously acquired, Novastar Resources holds 3.3% of Thorium Powers issued and outstanding common shares. Results of Operations Summary Our consolidated net loss for our second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005 was $4,543,865 or $0.04 per share as compared to a net loss of $15,699 or $0.00 per share in the prior years comparative quarter, for a net loss increase of $4,528,166. Our consolidated net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was $5,838,890 or $0.06 per share as compared to a net loss of $34,207 or $0.00 per share in the prior years comparative period, for a net loss increase of $5,804,683. The largest new expenses were related to mineral property payments and consulting fees paid to consultants whose services included research into prospective business venues, seeking out business opportunities, making introductions and other business consulting. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 we expensed $1,720,544 in mineral property acquisition costs.  We expensed $892,386 in consulting fees during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 and $2,143,020 in the six months ended December 31, 2005. These were largely non-cash expenses paid for in our shares of common stock. Additionally, we incurred a $1,754,166 expense in the quarter ended December 31, 2005 in relation to the issue of common shares in compensation for the cancellation of share purchase warrants. However, with the agreement of       - 23 -   the shareholders these shares are pending cancellation. Accordingly, this non-cash expense amount will be reversed in our third fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2006. Absent this expense item, our consolidated net loss for our second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005 would have been $2,789,699 or $0.02 per share and for the six months ended December 31, 2005 would have been $4,084,724 or $0.03 per share. Our company was essentially inactive in the prior years comparative periods. Mineral Production and Revenue As we are still a development stage company and in the exploration stage on our mineral interests, being leases and claims located in Alabama, U.S.A. and North Queensland, Australia, respectively, we have not as of yet produced any minerals revenues nor produced any minerals. Exploration, Property Evaluation and Holding Costs During the quarter and six month period ended December 31, 2005 we acquired mineral interests as detailed below. During the quarter ended December 31, 2005 we also purchased certain equipment for purposes of commencing exploration activities and expended $44,662 in mineral property exploration expenses. On December 31, 2005, we entered into an assignment of minerals lease with Dr. Charles H. Merchant, our COO, interim CEO and one of our directors, for the assignment of a lease entered into between Dr. Merchant and John Hancock Real Estate Division of certain unpatented mining claims located in Cleburne and Clay Counties, State of Alabama. Pursuant to the assignment of minerals lease, our company will acquire a 51% interest in the leased claims on the properties from Dr. Merchant on the following terms: (a)
        the issuance of 2,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Dr. Merchant; and(b)
        incurring $1,500,000 on property expenditures (as defined in the assignment agreement); and(c)
        for each additional $100,000 on property expenditures, we will receive an additional 4% interest in the lease for the properties, up to a maximum of an additional $1,000,000 in expenditures for an additional 40% interest. In addition, upon a 91% interest in the leased claims on the properties being acquired by us, Dr. Merchant will retain a 9% interest in the leased claims on the properties upon such acquisition, and will receive $17.50 per ounce of pure Platinum Group Metal (PGM) produced for a period of two years from the acquisition of the 91% interest being obtained. For each 2,500 ounces of pure PGM produced, Dr. Merchant will receive an additional 1,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock, up to a maximum of 8,000,000 shares of our common stock. On September 14, 2005 we entered into an agreement with an Alabama proprietorship owned by Dr. Merchant, to be assigned all mineral rights located on certain properties located in the Clay County District of Alabama and commonly referred to as the Ashland Graphite Properties. The terms of the agreement require our company to pay $100,000 cash (paid in the quarter ended September 30, 2005), issue 1,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock (issued October 21, 2005) and pay a net royalty of $15 per ton of thorium/monazite removed from the leased properties. There are no minimum required exploration or development expenditures. Effective September 30, 2005, we entered into an agreement to acquire an undivided 100% interest in any deposits of thorium, monazite and other REM on three mining properties in North Queensland, Australia. In consideration, we agreed to issue 5,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock (issued October 21, 2005), pay a 2.5% net smelter return royalty and incur the following exploration expenditures: i)
        $125,000 by December 31, 2006;       - 24 -   ii)
        An additional $150,000 by December 31, 2007; iii)
        An additional $140,000 by December 31, 2008; iv)
        An additional $140,000 by December 31, 2009; and v)
        An additional $140,000 by December 31, 2010. Subsequent to December 31, 2005 the 5,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock issued October 21, 2005 were repurchased by Novastar Resources from the shareholder for $400,000. Cancellation of these shares is still pending at this time, however should be completed in the very near future. Corporate Administration, Public and Investor Relations Excluding consulting fees as described above and public relations costs, corporate administrative costs totalled $47,104 in the companys second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $139 in the prior fiscal years comparative quarter, representing an increase of $46,965.  The increase primarily relates to increased costs for accounting and legal services in connection with increased corporate activity. For the six month period ended December 31, 2005 corporate administrative costs, excluding consulting fees and public relations costs, totalled $80,880 as compared to $3,087 in the prior fiscal years comparative period, representing an increase of $77,793. The increase primarily relates to increased costs for accounting and legal services in connection with increased corporate activity. Public relations costs totalled $85,003 in the quarter ended December 31, 2005 and $95,618 in the six month period ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $Nil in the previous years comparative periods.  The increase relates to the engagement of a public relations firm in light of our increased corporate activity. During the prior year comparative periods, Novastar Resources was essentially inactive. Our company incurred no investor relations costs in the quarter or six month period ended December 31, 2005 or in the prior fiscal years comparative periods. Employees Effective December 1, 2005 Dr. Charles H. Merchant was appointed as Chief Operating Officer and interim Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Merchant earned his Bachelor's Degree from the University of West Florida, his MBA from Jacksonville State University and his Ph.D in Economic Geology from American University in Washington D.C. Dr. Merchant is also a licensed mining engineer in the State of Alabama. Pursuant to a Form 8-K filed on December 23, 2005, Novastar Resources announced the appointment of Cornelius J. Milmoe as a member of its board of directors.  Subsequently, Mr. Milmoe has advised Novastar Resources that he would accept this appointment once Novastar Resources obtains appropriate D&O insurance coverage, which is anticipated to be received shortly. As of December 31, 2005 we had three officers and employees: Dr. Merchant, Mr. Paul G. Carter, our President and Mr. Sean Mulhearn, our Corporate Secretary. We use consultants with specific skills to assist with various aspects of our project evaluation, due diligence, acquisition initiatives, corporate governance and business development. Subsequent to December 31, 2005, Novastar Resources entered into a consulting agreement with Alan Gelband pursuant to which Novastar Resources will issue 2,389,588 restricted shares of our common stock to Mr. Gelband in consideration for his services in connection with the proposed acquisition of Thorium Power.  This consulting agreement has a term of six months.  On February 6, 2006, Novastar Resources entered into an amended and       - 25 -   restated consulting agreement with Alan Gelband for the provision of investment banking and advisory services, particularly in relation to Novastar Resources business combination with Thorium Power. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, effective February 14, 2006 Novastar Resources entered into an employment agreement with Seth Grae, wherein Novastar Resources has agreed to pay him an annual salary of $275,000 for performing the duties described in the employment agreement.  In addition, Novastar Resources has agreed to issue to Mr. Grae 5,000,000 shares of restricted stock and grant to Mr. Grae 7,200,000 non-qualified stock options, with a term of ten years at an exercise price of $0.795 per share.  The shares of restricted stock vest immediately on issuance and will be subject to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The agreement commences on the date that Novastar Resources obtains D&O liability insurance coverage and terminates on the fifth anniversary of the date of the agreement. Seth Grae, currently President and Chief Executive Officer of Thorium Power, is expected to assume shortly the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of Novastar Resources in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.  At that time, Dr. Charles Merchant, Chief Operating Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Novastar Resources, is expected to resign from these positions and will serve as Novastar Resources Head of Mining Operations. Seth Graehas played an active role in all business activities of Thorium Power since the companys founding. He is a member of the board of directors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and has served as co-chair of the American Bar Associations Committee on Arms Control and Disarmament. As a member of the board of directors of the Lawyers Alliance for World Security, Mr. Grae helped advise on the drafting of nuclear export control regulations in China and Belarus, and he participated in consultations with the government of India on nuclear power and weapons. He represented refuseniks pro bono who were nuclear scientists, in securing exit visas from the Soviet Union. Mr. Grae led the efforts that resulted in Thorium Power becoming one of the first Western companies to contract with Russian nuclear institutes and become one of the first grant
recipients from the United States Department of Energy for nuclear non-proliferation related work in Russia. Mr. Grae obtained his B.A. from Brandeis University cum laude, J.D. from American University, LL.M. in International Law with honors from Georgetown University, and MBA from Georgetown University. Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash Used In Operations Cash used in operations was $322,353 in the six months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to cashused of $10,854 in the prior fiscal years comparative period. The change of $311,499 can be primarily attributed to increased accounting, legal and public relations costs in reflection of our increased level of corporate activity as compared to the year earlier period, when it was essentially inactive. During the six months ended December 31, 2005, interest amortization totalled $Nil as compared to $31,120 in the prior year.  The decrease is attributable to settlement of the note payable. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $78,976 in the six months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to a decrease of $7,845 in the prior years comparative period. During the six months ended December 31, 2005, $5,477,946 of expenses (including $1,863,792 of consulting services) were incurred by payment in shares of common stock in lieu of cash. This compares to $Nil of expenses paid in shares in lieu of cash in the prior fiscal years comparative period. Financing Activities We received net cash from financing activities of $594,000 in the six month period ended December 31, 2005, as compared to $10,854 in the previous years comparative period. On November 23, 2005 we closed a private placement of $631,500, consisting of an offering of 4,209,998 units at a price of $0.15 per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase       - 26 -   warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one additional share of common stock at a price of $0.30 per share and has an expiry date of twelve months from the closing date of the subscription. Of the 4,209,998 units issued in the private placement, 249,999 units were issued as settlement of debt. The remainder of the units were issued for total cash proceeds of $594,000. Subsequent to December 31, 2005 we closed a $1,262,500 private placement; proceeds to be used to complete the proposed acquisition of Thorium Power and strengthen the balance sheet of the combined company. This oversubscribed private placement consisted of an offering of approximately 4,208,340 units at a price of $0.30 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one additional share of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share and expires twelve months from the closing date of the subscription. Of the proceeds raised in the $1,262,500 private placement, $400,000 was expended subsequent to December 31, 2005 in order to repurchase 5,000,000 restricted shares from a shareholder. Cancellation of these shares is pending. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2005, our total assets were $281,570 as compared to $105,000 on September 30, 2005 and $802 on June 30, 2005, our prior fiscal year-end. Liabilities of $235,192 as of December 31, 2005 represented a 48% decrease from our September 30, 2005 liabilities of $448,569 and a 5% increase from the $224,980 reported as of June 30, 2005. We had a working capital deficiency of $161,822 on December 31, 2005, a 54% improvement from $348,569 as of September 30, 2005 and a 28% improvement from $224,178 as of June 30, 2005. During the quarter ended December 31, 2005 we closed a $631,500 private placement and announced our aims to close a second stage of financing. Subsequent to December 31, 2005 we arranged a $1,262,500 private placement, as described above underFinancing Activities. Plan of Operations and Cash Requirements Without regard to the proposed acquisition of Thorium Power pursuant to the definitive merger agreement as discussed above, which transaction is subject to closing conditions that may take some months to satisfy, major cash commitments over the next 12 months are related to proposed exploration activities, corporate administration and operations. Our minimum committed exploration expenditures on our mineral properties total $125,000 by December 31, 2006. Thus, we currently have sufficient liquidity to meet our minimum required expenditures over the 12 months ending December 31, 2006. With regard to the proposed acquisition of Thorium Power, we do not currently contemplate that the acquisition of Thorium Power will materially increase our minimum committed expenditures. However, overall expenditures will materially increase and these amounts will vary in relation to governmental and private funding. Further detail will be provided in appropriate regulatory filings and disclosures subsequent to the date of this report. Estimated Expenditures Over the Next Twelve Months Absent the proposed acquisition of Thorium Power, we anticipate that we will expend approximately $560,000 during the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2006 as follows:        - 27 -    Operating expensesExploration and drilling

        $
        560,000 We currently have minimal debt and have not established a limit as to the amount of debt we may incur, nor have we adopted a ratio of our equity to debt allowance. If we seek to obtain additional financing, there is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, or if available that it will be available on acceptable terms. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of our outstanding shares of common stock. We could suffer adverse consequences if we are unable to obtain additional capital, which would cast substantial doubt on our ability to continue our operations and growth. RISK FACTORS Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements.  Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations.  While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein.  We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements. Such estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below.  We caution readers of this quarterly report that important factors in some cases have affected and in the future could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements.  In evaluating us, our business and any investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the following factors: Our companys limited operating history makes it difficult for you to judge its prospects. Our company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our current business and our prospects can be based. You should consider any purchase of our shares in light of the risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered by all companies in the early stages of its corporate development. Our company has entered into a definitive merger agreement with another company. Consolidated results of our company will materially change on a go-forward basis if and when the proposed acquisition of Thorium Power, Inc. is consummated pursuant to the recently entered into definitive merger agreement. Liquidity and capital resources are uncertain. For the six month period ended December 31, 2005 we incurred a net loss of $5,838,890 and used $322,353 of cash in operations. At December 31, 2005 we had a working capital deficit of $161,822. During the six months ended December 31, 2005 we raised cash proceeds of $594,000 in a private placement of shares and warrants and more recently we closed an oversubscribed private placement of $1,262,500, consisting of shares and warrants. While these proceeds meet our foreseeable needs for the next 12 months, we may need to raise additional capital by way of       - 28 -   an offering of equity securities, an offering of debt securities, or by obtaining financing through a bank or other entity. If our company needs to obtain additional financing, there is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, that it will be available on terms acceptable to us, or that any future offering of securities will be successful. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of our outstanding shares of common stock. The value and transferability of our shares of common stock may be adversely impacted by the limited trading market for our shares and the penny stock rules. There is only a limited trading market for our shares of common stock. Our shares of common stock are traded in the over-the-counter market and bid and asked quotations regularly appear on the OTC-Bulletin Board under the symbol NVAS. There can be no assurance that our shares of common stock will trade at prices at or above its present level, and an inactive or illiquid trading market may have an adverse impact on the market price. In addition, holders of our shares of common stock may experience substantial difficulty in selling their securities as a result of the penny stock rules, which restrict the ability of brokers to sell certain securities of companies whose assets or revenues fall below the thresholds established by those rules. Future sales of shares may adversely impact the value of our shares of common stock. If required, our company may seek to raise additional capital through the sale of our shares of common stock. Future sales of our shares of common stock by us or our stockholders could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Mineral exploration and development activities are speculative in nature. Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by our company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond our control and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital. Substantial expenditures are required to establish mineral reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities and grades to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately
mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results. Short term factors relating to reserves, such as the need for orderly development of ore bodies or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project. Our company will be subject to operating hazards and risks which may adversely affect our companys financial condition. Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of minerals and metals, such as unusual or unexpected formations, cave-ins or pollution, all of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible       - 29 -   environmental damage. We do not have general liability insurance covering our operations and do not presently intend to obtain liability insurance as to such hazards and liabilities. Payment of any liabilities as a result could have a materially adverse effect upon our companys financial condition. Our companys activities will be subject to environmental and other industry regulations which could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our company. Our activities are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation generally provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards and enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our company. The operations of our company including exploration and development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, state, territorial, provincial and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations and, in particular, environmental laws. Competition may have an impact on our companys ability to acquire attractive mineral properties, which may have an adverse impact on our companys operations. Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of mineral acquisition opportunities available. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than our company, we may be unable to acquire attractive mineral properties on acceptable terms. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any exploration program intended by our company on properties it intends to acquire, will yield any reserves or result in any commercial mining operation. Downward fluctuations in metal prices may severely reduce the value of our company. We have no control over the fluctuations in the prices of the thorium and other REM that we are exploring.  A significant decline in such prices would severely reduce the value of our company. We currently rely on certain key individuals and the loss of one of these certain key individuals could have an adverse effect on our company. Our success depends to a certain degree upon key members of our management. These individuals are a significant factor in our companys growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management and certain key employees could have a material adverse effect on our company.       - 30 -   We do not maintain key man insurance to compensate our company for the loss of certain key individuals. We intend to acquire key man insurance with respect to the merger with Thorium Power, Inc. as new management and board members will be coming on board, although we can provide no assurances that such coverage can be obtained. We are an exploration stage company, and there is no assurance that a commercially viable deposit or reserve exists on any properties for which our company has, or might obtain, an interest. We are an exploration stage company and cannot give assurance that a commercially viable deposit, or reserve, exists on any properties for which we currently have or may have an interest. Therefore, determination of the existence of a reserve depends on appropriate and sufficient exploration work and the evaluation of legal, economic, and environmental factors. If we fail to find a commercially viable deposit on any of its properties, our financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected. We require substantial funds merely to determine whether commercial mineral deposits exist on our properties. Any potential development and production of our exploration properties depends upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists. Such programs require substantial additional funds. Any decision to further expand our operations on these exploration properties is anticipated to involve consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including, but not limited to: 1

        Political climate and/or governmental regulation and control. General Mining Risks Factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered from resource properties we own or may acquire. Metal prices have fluctuated widely in recent years. Government regulations relating to price, royalties, allowable production and importing and exporting of minerals can adversely affect our company. There can be no certainty that we will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and operations on any projects it may acquire and environmental concerns about mining in general continue to be a significant challenge for all mining companies. Item 3.  Controls and Procedures As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by the quarterly report, being December 31, 2005, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our companys disclosure controls and procedures.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our companys management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer.  Based upon that evaluation, our companys Chief Financial Officer concluded that our companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective as at the end of the period covered by this report.  There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal       - 31 -   quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting. Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. PART II-OTHER INFORMATION Item1.Legal Proceedings. We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation.  There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.  The outcome of open unresolved legal proceedings is presently indeterminable.  Any settlement resulting from resolution of these contingencies will be accounted for in the period of settlement.  We do not believe the potential outcome from these legal proceedings will significantly impact our financial position, operations or cash flows.
