ITEM 1. BUSINESS.




OVERVIEW




We were incorporated on December 29, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada.  From our inception until February 2009 we were engaged in the exploration of a claim knows as the Columbia VI Claim.  In February of 2009, based on a report from our consulting geologist, we abandoned the Columbia Claim.




In February 2009, we engaged Consulting Geologist, D. Bain, B.Sc., P.Geo. of DUNCAN BAIN CONSULTING LTD. (“BAIN”), to select an area in Saskatchewan considered favorable for hosting diamondiferous kimberlite pipes. That site was staked by the Mr. Bain and registered with the province of Saskatchewan on March 18, 2009.




Duncan J. Bain, P.Geo. is an independent Qualified Person in accordance with Canadian securities National Instrument 43-101 and as defined in the CIM (Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy) Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves.




The Bittern Lake Project (“Claim”) consists of one claim of 256 hectares. This claim was registered on March 18, 2009 in the name of Duncan Bain, 49 Midale Crescent, London, Ontario, Canada N5X 3C2. Title to the Claim was subsequently transferred to Nova in April 2009.




The Claim is located in the east-central part of the province of Saskatchewan, in the NW corner of N.T.S. map sheet 73H/13, centered at Latitude 53o 59' North, Longitude 105o 53' West and UTM co-ordinates 5983000 N, 442000 E, Zone 13, using NAD 27 datum. The Claim covers an area of 256 hectares.




The Claim is located within the surveyed (southern) portion of Saskatchewan and is described in terms of legal sections and subdivisions.  To maintain the property in good standing, Saskatchewan Energy and Resources (SER) require proof of exploration expenditures, or cash payment in lieu, of $12 per hectare per year (after the first year). These assessment requirements amount to approximately $3,200 for the property. On March 31, 2011, the Company paid the assessment to Saskatchewan Energy and Resources in lieu of work filed.




On March 29, 2011 the Company re-engaged the services of BAIN to direct a Phase 1 Exploration Program on the Claim.  The Company has agreed to pay to BAIN approximately $20,000 for the exploration and subsequent report. The Company anticipates the Phase 1 report will include positive findings and form the basis for further exploration of the Claim.





On February 15, 2012 we, entered into an option agreement with Natural Resources Recovery Guyana (NRRG), an affiliated company of CFG, LLC. NRRG is in the business of gold, diamond, and timber harvesting. The option agreement is for a period of sixty (60) days beginning from the date of the agreement. Nova Mining Corp. paid $5,000 for this option right. The assets for placement are five (5) concessions of gold, diamond, and timber harvesting interest which equates to 6,000 acres of land with the licenses and permits rights in the country of Guyana.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF MINERAL EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES




The main agency that governs the exploration of minerals in the Province of British Columbia is the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources (the "Ministry of Mines").




The Ministry of Mines manages the development of British Columbia's mineral resources, and implements policies and programs respecting their development while protecting the environment. In addition, the Ministry of Mines regulates and inspects the exploration and mineral production industries in British Columbia to protect workers, the public and the environment.




The material legislation applicable to mineral exploration activities in the Province of British Columbia are the British Columbia Mineral Tenure Act and the British Columbia Mines Act. If we undertake any mineral exploration activities in the Province of British Columbia, we will be required to comply with the requirements of those statutes and the regulations relating to those statutes.




COMPETITION




We are currently a mineral exploration company and as such we will compete with other mineral resource exploration and development companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration and development companies with whom we maybe compete will have greater financial and technical resources than us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to finance further exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for us to develop our mineral properties.




We may also explore other business opportunities unrelated to mineral exploration and may come into competition with other companies with greater financial and other resources when pursuing opportunities of interest to us.




SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES




The Company has an Employment Agreement with the sole officer and director, Carmen Joseph Carbona.




RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT




We incurred no research and development expenditures to date.




INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY




We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.




ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.




The following are some of the important factors that could affect our financial performance or could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in our forward-looking statements. We may encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.




WE HAVE LIMITED BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND A SINGLE MINING CLAIM. WE HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED ANY ALTERNATIVE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.  OUR PLAN OF OPERATION FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS WILL CONSIST OF EXECUTING OUR BUSINESS PLAN AND LOCATING ADDITIONAL CLAIMS FOR EXPLORATION.




Our sole asset is our Bittern Lake Project.  The Bittern Lake Project (“Claim”) consists of one claim of 256 hectares. This claim was registered on March 18, 2009 in the name of Duncan Bain, 49 Midale Crescent, London, Ontario, Canada N5X 3C2. Title to the Claim was subsequently transferred to Nova in April 2009.  We have no experience in mining operations and it is not guaranteed that we will be able to locate diamonds in our claim, or that we will have the resources to capitalize on the Claim should we find commercially viable deposits.


5


WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING.




As at February 28, 2013, we had cash assets of $8,583 and a working capital deficit of $(870,887) and an accumulated deficit of $(1,003,937) since Inception. Currently, we do not have a specific business plan, nor have we identified any suitable alternative business opportunities. As such, our ability to obtain additional financing may be substantially limited. If sufficient financing is not available or obtainable as and when needed, we may not be able to continue as a going concern and investors may lose a substantial portion or all of their investment. We currently do not have any financing arrangements in place and there are no assurances that we will be able to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all.





WE HAVE A SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR





Because management consists of only individual, while seeking a business combination, Carmen Joseph Carbona, President, CEO and CFO, will be the only person responsible in conducting the day-to-day operations of the Company.  We do not benefit from having access to multiple judgments that a greater number of directors or officers would provide, and we will rely completely on the judgment of our two officers when selecting a target company.  Mr. Carbona anticipates devoting only a limited amount of time per month to the business of the Company.  Mr. Carbona has a written employment agreement with the Company, however we do not anticipate obtaining key man life insurance on Mr. Carbona. The loss of the services of Mr. Carbona would adversely affect development of our business and our likelihood of continuing operations.





WE DEPEND ON MANAGEMENT AND MANAGEMENT’S PARTICIPATION IS LIMITED





We will be entirely dependent upon the experience of our officers and directors in seeking, investigating, and acquiring a business and in making decisions regarding our operations.  It is possible that, from time to time, the inability of such persons to devote their full time attention to the Company will cause the Company to lose an opportunity.




WE MAY CONDUCT FURTHER OFFERINGS IN THE FUTURE IN WHICH CASE INVESTORS' SHAREHOLDINGS WILL BE DILUTED.




We may conduct equity offerings in the future to finance any future business projects that we decide to undertake. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. If we issue additional stock, investors' percentage interest in us will be diluted. The result of this could reduce the value of their stock.




BECAUSE OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK, STOCKHOLDERS WILL BE MORE LIMITED IN THEIR ABILITY TO SELL THEIR STOCK.




The shares of our common stock constitute "penny stocks" under the Exchange Act. The shares will remain classified as a penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification as a penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker/dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment. Any broker/dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares will be subject to rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Exchange Act. Rather than having to comply with these rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell a penny stock.




The "penny stock" rules adopted by the SEC under the Exchange Act subjects the sale of the shares of our common stock to certain regulations which impose sales practice requirements on broker/dealers. For example, brokers/dealers selling such securities must, prior to effecting the transaction, provide their customers with a document that discloses the risks of investing in such securities.




Legal remedies, which may be available to an investor in "penny stocks," are as follows:




(a) if "penny stock" is sold to an investor in violation of his or her rights listed above, or other federal or states securities laws, the investor may be able to cancel his or her purchase and get his or her money back.




(b) if the stocks are sold in a fraudulent manner, the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that caused the fraud for damages.




(c) if the investor has signed an arbitration agreement, however, he or she may have to pursue his or her claim through arbitration.


6


If the person purchasing the securities is someone other than an accredited investor or an established customer of the broker/dealer, the broker/dealer must also approve the potential customer's account by obtaining information concerning the customer's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. The broker/dealer must also make a determination whether the transaction is suitable for the customer and whether the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of evaluating the risk of transactions in such securities. Accordingly, the SEC's rules may limit the number of potential purchasers of the shares of our common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BITTERN LAKE CLAIM




The Bittern Lake Project (“Claim”) consists of one claim of 256 hectares. This claim was registered on March 18, 2009 in the name of Duncan Bain, 49 Midale Crescent, London, Ontario, Canada N5X 3C2. Title to the Claim was subsequently transferred to Nova in April 2009.




The Claim is located in the east-central part of the province of Saskatchewan, in the NW corner of N.T.S. map sheet 73H/13, centered at Latitude 53o 59' North, Longitude 105o 53' West and UTM co-ordinates 5983000 N, 442000 E, Zone 13, using NAD 27 datum. The Claim covers an area of 256 hectares.




The Claim is located within the surveyed (southern) portion of Saskatchewan and is described in terms of legal sections and subdivisions.  To maintain the property in good standing, Saskatchewan Energy and Resources (SER) require proof of exploration expenditures, or cash payment in lieu, of $12 per hectare per year (after the first year). These assessment requirements amount to approximately $3,200 for the property.  On March 31, 2011, the Company paid the assessment to Saskatchewan Energy and Resources in lieu of work filed.




CURRENT EXPLORATION PROGRAM




In February 2009, we engaged Consulting Geologist, D. Bain, B.Sc., P.Geo. of DUNCAN BAIN CONSULTING LTD. (“BAIN”), to select an area in Saskatchewan considered favorable for hosting diamondiferous kimberlite pipes. That site was staked by the Mr. Bain and registered with the province of Saskatchewan on March 18, 2009. Duncan J. Bain, P.Geo. is an independent Qualified Person in accordance with Canadian securities National Instrument 43-101 and as defined in the CIM (Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy) Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves.




On March 29, 2011 the Company re-engaged the services of BAIN to direct a Phase 1 Exploration Program on the Claim.  The Company has agreed to pay to BAIN approximately $20,000 for the exploration and subsequent report. The Company anticipates the Phase 1 report will include positive findings and form the basis for further exploration of the Claim.





On February 15, 2012 we, entered into an option agreement with Natural Resources Recovery Guyana (NRRG), an affiliated company of CFG, LLC. NRRG is in the business of gold, diamond, and timber harvesting. The option agreement is for a period of sixty (60) days beginning from the date of the agreement. Nova Mining Corp. paid $5,000 for this option right. The assets for placement are five (5) concessions of gold, diamond, and timber harvesting interest which equates to 6,000 acres of land with the licenses and permits rights in the country of Guyana.




ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.




We are not a party to any legal proceedings and, to our knowledge, no such proceedings are pending, threatened or contemplated.




ITEM 4. MINING SAFTEY DISCLOSURE

PART II




ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.




Currently, there is no established public trading market for our securities. We can provide no assurance that a public market for our securities will ever materialize.




REGISTERED HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK




As of February 28, 2013, there were 44 registered holders of record of our common stock. Some stockholders may hold their shares on deposit with brokers or investment bankers in the name of stock depositories.




DIVIDENDS




We have neither declared nor paid any cash dividends on our capital stock since our inception and do not contemplate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. It is anticipated that earnings, if any, will be retained for the operation of our business. Our board of directors will determine future dividend declarations and payments, if any, in light of the then-current conditions they deem relevant and in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes.




There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or in our bylaws which prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of a dividend:




(a)
We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or




(b)
Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving distributions.




On October 27, 2011 the Company issued a press release announcing that on October 27, 2011 its Board of Directors had declared a 5-for-1 split of its common stock.  The split was effectuated in the form of a stock dividend to shareholders of record on November 16, 2011. There was not a mandatory exchange of certificates.




RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES




None.




ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA




Not required for a smaller reporting company.




ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.




PLAN OF OPERATION




In February 2009, we engaged Consulting Geologist, D. Bain, B.Sc., P.Geo. of DUNCAN BAIN CONSULTING LTD. (“BAIN”), to select an area in Saskatchewan considered favorable for hosting diamondiferous kimberlite pipes. That site was staked by the Mr. Bain and registered with the province of Saskatchewan on March 18, 2009.




Duncan J. Bain, P.Geo. is an independent Qualified Person in accordance with Canadian securities National Instrument 43-101 and as defined in the CIM (Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy) Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves.




The Bittern Lake Project (“Claim”) consists of one claim of 256 hectares. This claim was registered on March 18, 2009 in the name of Duncan Bain, 49 Midale Crescent, London, Ontario, Canada N5X 3C2. Title to the Claim was subsequently transferred to Nova in April 2009.


8


The Claim is located in the east-central part of the province of Saskatchewan, in the NW corner of N.T.S. map sheet 73H/13, centered at Latitude 53o 59' North, Longitude 105o 53' West and UTM co-ordinates 5983000 N, 442000 E, Zone 13, using NAD 27 datum. The Claim covers an area of 256 hectares.




The Claim is located within the surveyed (southern) portion of Saskatchewan and is described in terms of legal sections and subdivisions.  To maintain the property in good standing, Saskatchewan Energy and Resources (SER) require proof of exploration expenditures, or cash payment in lieu, of $12 per hectare per year (after the first year). These assessment requirements amount to approximately $3,200 for the property.  On March 31, 2011, the Company paid the assessment to Saskatchewan Energy and Resources in lieu of work filed.




On March 29, 2011 the Company re-engaged the services of BAIN to direct a Phase 1 Exploration Program on the Claim.  The Company has agreed to pay to BAIN approximately $20,000 for the exploration and subsequent report. The Company anticipates the Phase 1 report will include positive findings and form the basis for further exploration of the Claim.





On February 15, 2012 we, entered into an option agreement with Natural Resources Recovery Guyana (NRRG), an affiliated company of CFG, LLC. NRRG is in the business of gold, diamond, and timber harvesting. The option agreement is for a period of sixty (60) days beginning from the date of the agreement. Nova Mining Corp. paid $5,000 for this option right. The assets for placement are five (5) concessions of gold, diamond, and timber harvesting interest which equates to 6,000 acres of land with the licenses and permits rights in the country of Guyana.




As of February 28, 2013, we had cash assets of $8,583 and a working capital deficit of $(870,887) and an accumulated deficit of $(1,003,937). As such, we anticipate that we will require substantial financing in the near future in order to meet our current obligations and to continue our operations. In addition, in the event that we are successful in identifying suitable alternative business opportunities, of which there is no assurance, we anticipate that we will need to obtain additional financing in order to pursue those opportunities.




Currently, we do not have any financing arrangements in place and there are no assurances that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Due to the lack of our operating history and our present inability to generate revenues, our auditors have stated in their audit report included in our audited financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2011 that there currently exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.




OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS




We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.




CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES




The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.




We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operation.




USE OF ESTIMATES




The preparation of 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

MINERAL PROPERTY COSTS




We have been in the exploration stage since our inception on December 29, 2005 and have not yet realized any revenues from our planned operations. We are primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.




FINANCING REQUIREMENTS




From December 29, 2005 (Inception) to February 28, 2013, we have suffered cumulative losses in the amount of $(1,003,937). We expect to continue to incur substantial losses as we continue the development of our business. Since our inception, we have funded operations through common stock issuances, related party loans, outside party loans and the support of creditors in order to meet our strategic objectives. Our management believes that sufficient funding will be available to meet our business objectives, including anticipated cash needs for working capital, and are currently evaluating several financing options, including a public offering of securities. However, we do not have any financing arrangements currently in place and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing when needed. As a result of the foregoing, our independent auditors believe there exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.




There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing if and when required. We anticipate that additional financing may come in the form of sales of additional shares of our common stock which may result in dilution to our current shareholders.




GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION




Several conditions and events cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $(1,003,937) for the period from December 29, 2005 to February 28, 2013, has no revenues and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on an ongoing basis.  The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, executing the company’s mining based business plan and the pursuit of other business opportunities. The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained.  In the interim, shareholders of the Company have committed to meeting its minimal operating expenses.  Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise the Company’s operating and financial requirements provide them with the opportunity to continue as a going concern.




At February 28, 2013, we had $8,583 in cash assets, $879,470 in liabilities, and a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $(1,003,937).  See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”




LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES




It is the intent of our management, stockholders, and specifically the majority Shareholder, Clarent Services Corp. and our President, Carmen Joseph Carbona to provide sufficient working capital necessary to support and preserve the integrity of our Company as a corporate entity.  However, there is no legal obligation for either the majority Shareholder or Mr. Carbona to provide additional future funding. If our management and/or Mr. Carbona ceases to provide us the needed financing and we fail to identify any alternative sources of funding, there will be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern”.




We have no current plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale or issuance of additional securities.  As a result, there can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available to us to enable us to pay the expenses related to such activities.




Regardless of whether or not our cash assets prove to be adequate to meet our operational needs, we may have to compensate providers of services by issuances of our common stock in lieu of cash.




At February 28, 2013, we had $8,583 in cash assets $879,470 in liabilities, and a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $(1,003,937). Our primary source of liquidity has been from loans from a majority shareholder and loans from outside parties.  As of February 28, 2013, the Company owed $720,000 in notes and $40,000 in advances, loaned to the company.


10


Net cash used in operating activities was $355,998 during the year ended February 28, 2013.




Net cash provided by financing activities was $360,000 during the year ended February 28, 2013.




Our expenses to date are largely due to professional fees that include accounting and legal fees.




To date, we have had zero revenues and require additional financing in order to finance our business activities on an ongoing basis.  Our future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including, but not limited to, executing our mining based business plan and the ability to pursue other business opportunities. We are actively pursuing alternative financing and have had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained to date.  In the interim, shareholders of the Company have agreed to meet our minimal operating expenses.  We believe that actions presently being taken to revise our operating and financial requirements provide the Company with the opportunity to continue as a “going concern,” although no assurances can be given.




NET LOSS FROM OPERATIONS




The Company had a net loss of $(1,003,937) for the period from inception through February 28, 2013. The Company had net loss of $(466,445) for the year ended February 28, 2013 as compared to a net loss of $(237,801) for the year ended February 29, 2012.

THE YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2013 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2012




OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES




Operating expenses increased by $178,551, from $206,877 in the year ended February 29, 2012, to $385,428 in the year ended February 28, 2013.  Operating expenses primarily consist of General and Administrative expenses (G&A) and Mining Exploration expense. G&A expenses are made up primarily of office expense, accounting, and legal expenses. Such fees are paid to accountants and attorneys throughout the year for performing various tasks.  There were $188,282 in General and Administrative expenses in year ended February 29, 2012 and $290,428 in General and Administrative expenses in the year ended February 28, 2013.  There were $18,595 in mining exploration expenses in year ended February 29, 2012 and $95,000 in mining exploration expenses in the year ended February 28, 2013.




COMMON STOCK




We are authorized by our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to issue an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 100,000,000 are shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”). As of February 28, 2013, 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding and there were 44 shareholders of our Common Stock.




All outstanding shares of Common Stock are of the same class and have equal rights and attributes. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company. All stockholders are entitled to share equally in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available. In the event of liquidation, the holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities. The stockholders do not have cumulative or preemptive rights. We have not paid any dividends to date, and have no plans to do so in the near future.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 To the Board of Directors
 Nova Mining Corporation (an exploration stage company)
 Marcellus, New York
 
 We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Nova Mining Corporation (a exploration stage company), (the “Company”), as of February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and the related statements of expenses, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the period from December 29, 2005 (inception) through February 28, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion
 
 In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nova Mining Corporation as of February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the period from December 29, 2005 (inception) through February 28, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
 The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Nova Mining Corporation will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES





Nature of Business & Going Concern





Nova Mining Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 29, 2005. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of ASC 915 “Development Stage Companies’. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. The Company has not presently determined whether its mineral claims contain reserves that are economically recoverable.





Basis of Presentation





These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars.





Use of Estimates





The preparation of 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.





Financial Instruments





The Company’s financial assets and liabilities consist of cash and accounts payable. Except as otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.





Income Taxes





Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted Statement of ASC 740 "ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES" as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.





Loss Per Share





Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed similar to basic net loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.


At February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2013 diluted net loss per share is equivalent to basic net loss per share as the company did not have any potentially dilutive securities outstanding





Cash and Cash Equivalents





For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.


F-6


NOVA MINING CORPORATION (an exploration stage company)
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





Mineral Property Costs





The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on December 29, 2005 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.





Concentration of Credit Risk





The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.





Pervasiveness of Estimates





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





Recent Accounting Standards





There are no recent accounting pronouncements that would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.





NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN





The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a “going concern”, which assume that Nova Mining will continue in operation for at least one year and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.





Several conditions and events cast substantial doubt about Nova Mining’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Nova Mining has incurred net losses of approximately $(1,003,937) for the period from (inception), December 29, 2005 to February 28, 2013, has had zero revenues and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on an ongoing basis. Nova Mining’s future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, executing its existing mining based business plan and the pursuit of business opportunities. Nova Mining is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained.  In the interim, shareholders of Nova Mining have committed to meeting its minimal operating expenses.





Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise Nova Mining’s operating and financial requirements provide them with the opportunity to continue as a going concern.





These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.





NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS





In the years 2005 - 2008, the Company’s former President advanced to the Company an aggregate of $110,000. The advance was non-interest bearing and due on demand. As of February 28, 2013, this amount has been purchased by an outside party and is no longer owed to the Company’s former President.





As of February 28, 2013, $183,300 has been paid in compensation for services rendered by the Company’s officers and directors during their time of service.





As of February 28, 2013, all activities of Nova Mining have been conducted by corporate officers from either their homes or business offices.  Currently, there are no outstanding debts owed by Nova Mining for the use of these facilities and there are no commitments for future use of the facilities.

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 4 - ADVANCES





As of February 28, 2013, a third party paid company expenses in the amount of $30,000 and loaned the company $10,000. These amounts are a non-interest bearing advance of $40,000 due by the Company.





NOTE  5 – NOTES PAYABLE





During 2011, 2012 and 2013, a third party loaned the Company $610,000. These loans are unsecured and payable a year from the signed note.  A $200,000 loan is accruing 10% simple interest annually and the remaining $410,000 in loans accrue 15% simple interest annually. Of these notes, $260,000 is in default as of February 28, 2013 and $40,000 of this amount accrues interest at the default interest rate of 25%. As of February 28, 2013, the Company owes $610,000 in principal and $82,287 in interest on these notes





On September 1, 2011, a third party purchased the $110,000 owed to the former President of the Company and this amount was transferred to a promissory note on that date.  This loan is unsecured, accruing 15% simple interest annually and payable on August 31, 2012. This note is now in default as of February 28, 2013 and accruing interest at the default interest rate of 25%. As of February 28, 2013, the Company owes $110,000 in principal and $30,183 in interest on this note.




NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES





Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has net operating losses of $(1,003,937) which commence expiring in 2027. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely-than-not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.





The components of the net deferred tax asset at February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 are scheduled below:

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES





EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES





For purposes of this Item 9A, the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of the Company (i) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq. and hereinafter the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and (ii)  include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures do not comply with the requirements in (i) and (ii) above and are not effective.





On February 28, 2013, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Carmen Joseph Carbona,  reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by the report, February 28, 2013 and has concluded that (i) the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission, and (ii) the Company’s controls and procedures have not been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.





The material weakness identified relates to the lack of proper segregation of duties. The Company believes that the lack of proper segregation of duties is due to the Company’s limited resources.





REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING





Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of Company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting does not provide assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.





On February 28, 2013, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and found it to be not effective subsequent to filing our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2013 on May 3, 2013 with the Commission. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.


13


The material weaknesses relate to the following:


·
Lack of proper segregation of duties
 ·
Lack of a formal review process that includes multiple levels of review


Management has concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting are not effective because as noted in this Annual Report, we have limited resources available. As we obtain additional funding and employ additional personnel, we will implement programs recommended by the Treadway Commission to ensure the proper segregation of duties and reporting channels. Our independent public accountant, MaloneBailey, LLP, has not conducted an audit of our controls and procedures regarding internal control over financial reporting. Consequently, MaloneBailey, LLP expresses no opinion with regards to the effectiveness or implementation of our controls and procedures with regards to internal control over financial reporting.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING





There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation of these controls as of the end of our last fiscal quarter as covered by this report on February 28, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.





INHERENT LIMITATIONS ON EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS





The Company's management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

** Ekaterina Pleshakova (Clarent Services Corp.)




Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on February 28, 2013.

In 2007 -2009 we received loans of $110,000 (CAD) from our former sole executive officer and director, Mr. Robert Thast and these were disclosed as related party loans. As of February 28, 2013 Mr. Robert Thast has since resigned as officer and director and the $110,000 due to the Company has been reclassified as a third party loan.




DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE




There is presently no public market for our common stock. As a result, for purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15). Under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15), a director is not considered to be independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation. Mr. Carbona acts as our sole director and as our sole executive officer. As such, we do not have any independent directors.
