Note Payable - Agile Opportunity Fund, LLC (“Agile”):
In February 2008, Inova borrowed $250,000 under a note payable from Agile Opportunity Fund, LLC. This note has an interest rate of 18% per annum and it matures on December 31, 2010. The note was convertible into shares of Inova common stock at $0.10 per share. In addition, 12,500 warrants to purchase Inova common stock were issued with this note. This note is secured by all tangible and intangible assets of Inova.
12,500 warrants were issued to Agile with this note. These warrants expire in February 2013. They have an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The warrant shares are subject to a put option agreement whereby anytime between February 2010 and February 2013, Agile can require Inova to repurchase from Agile the warrant shares for $100,000. Under ASC 815-40 “Put Warrants”, warrants for put shares should be classified as liabilities and measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded to earnings. As a result, the fair value of these warrants was recorded as a derivative liability. Upon exercise of the put option, if Inova does not repurchase the shares within 30 days, the resulting liability with become a convertible note that is convertible into shares of Inova common stock.
The convertible note and warrant agreements both contain dilutive issuance clauses. Under these clauses, based on future issuances of Inova common stock or other convertible instruments, the conversion price of the note above can be adjusted downward or the Company can be required to issue additional warrants to Inova. During fiscal 2009, the Company issued 43 additional warrants to purchase Inova common stock.
Note Modification
In December 2009, Inova modified the terms of its $250,000 note with Agile to extend the first principal payment date from December 2009 to December 2010. It also increased the original issue discount by $50,000 and reduced the conversion price to $4.05 per share.
On June 20, 2011, the Agile Opportunity Fund, LLC (“Agile”) note from 2008 was amended to allow the principal to be converted to stock at the rate of $300 per share (previously convertible at $4.05 per share). Inova evaluated the amendment under ASC 470-60 “Troubled Debt Restructurings”. Because the investors did not grant a concession on this outstanding loan, the transaction was not accounted for as troubled debt restructuring. Consequently, Inova evaluated these transactions under ASC 470-50 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments” to determine if the modification was substantial. Because the change in fair value of the conversion option was greater than 10% of the carrying value of the note, the debt modification was determined to be substantial and accordingly the debt was extinguished.. As a result, the Company extinguished the related derivative liability associated with the conversion option with a fair value of $253,730 on the amendment date and recorded a new derivative liability with a fair value of $344,648 on the same date. The Company recognized a full discount of $178,500 on the date of the amendment against the related note. Because the note was already in default, the Company immediately amortized this discount to interest expense. In addition, the Company recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $87,582 as a result of this transaction.
Conversions
During fiscal 2011, Inova issued 15,000 shares of common stock for the conversion of $60,750 of debt to Agile Opportunity Fund, LLC at a conversion price of $4.05.
During the three months ended July 31, 2011, Inova issued 6,667 shares of common stock for the conversion of $25,250 of Agile debt and sold 3,333 shares of common stock to Agile for $10,000.

Inova shall pay to each party an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2.00% of the aggregate purchase price paid by each party pursuant to the original note agreements for any unregistered Registrable Securities then held by each party. The parties agree that Inova shall not be liable for liquidated damages under this Agreement with respect to any Warrants or Warrant Shares. Inova analyzed the registration right arrangement under the guidance of FSP ASC 815-15-b and determined that the contingent obligation to make future payments under the registration payment arrangement is not probable.
If Inova were required to pay the 2% penalty for not filing registration statements, the estimated penalty would be approximately $184,000. The lenders have historically granted waivers for these registration rights penalties and therefore management believes the likelihood of this payment to be remote.
Working Capital Facility:
The Company entered into a tri-party secured agreement in April, 2010 whereby Agile ($150,000), Boone ($100,000) and the former owners of Desert Communications ($150,000) provided amounts totaling $400,000 to Desert Communications. This was in the form of a Note due December, 2010 bearing interest at a rate of 20% and containing the same covenants all Boone documents require. Fees of $10,450 were paid to Boone in conjunction with this debt and were recorded as a discount to the note.
During fiscal 2011 Agile and Desert sellers were paid off and Boone's balance was paid down to $50,000.
Other significant debt transactions:
Asher
On March 7, 2011, Inova borrowed $103,500 from Asher in an 8% convertible note. The note is convertible 180 days from the issuance date into Inova common stock at a price equal to 61% of the average of the stock’s lowest three prices during the ten trading days prior to conversion. The note is due on December 8, 2011 and is unsecured.
In May and July of 2011, Inova borrowed $82,500 from Asher Enterprises, Inc. (“Asher”) in an 8% convertible note. The note is convertible 180 days from the issuance date into Inova common stock at a price equal to 61% of the average of the stock’s lowest three prices during the ten trading days prior to conversion. The notes are due in November and January, 2012 and are unsecured.
In September 2011, $103,500 of debt issued during fiscal 2011 to Asher matured. As a result of the maturity, the debt became convertible under the same terms as the May and July notes. Due to there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be issued upon conversion, the conversion option was classified as a liability on the date of maturity. The fair value of the conversion option on the maturity date was $208,956, resulting in a full discount to the note of $103,500 and a day one loss on derivatives of $105,456. Because the note already matured, the entire discount was amortized to interest expense during the three months ended October 31, 2011.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, $82,500 of debt issued to Asher matured. As a result of the maturity, the debt became convertible. Due to there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be issued upon conversion, the conversion option was classified as a liability on the date of maturity. The fair value of the conversion option on the maturity date was $137,536, resulting in a full discount to the note of $82,500 and a day one loss on derivatives of $55,036. Because the note already matured, the entire discount was amortized to interest expense during the three months ended April 30, 2012.
The Asher notes contain provisions that cause the principal balances to increase by 150% upon default of the notes. Due to default provisions being triggered in certain notes during fiscal 2013, the principal balances increased by $83,250. This amount was recorded to interest expense during fiscal 2013.
During the year ended April 30, 2012, Inova issued 42,224 shares of common stock to convert $32,000 of Asher debt.
During the year ended April 30, 2013, Inova issued 908,280 shares of common stock to convert $142,530 of Asher debt.

NOTE 9 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
ASC 815-40 Put Warrant Liabilities
Under ASC 815-40 “Put Warrants”, warrants for put shares should be classified as liabilities and measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded to earnings. As a result, the fair value of the warrants granted to Ascendiant, Agile and Boone in conjunction with the debt offerings noted above were recorded as derivative liabilities at inception. The liabilities were subsequently measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with the changes recorded to earnings.
Boone Convertible Put Exercise Note
As discussed in Note 9, Inova determined that the instruments embedded in the convertible put notes exercised by Boone during fiscal 2010 and 2011 should be classified as liabilities and recorded at fair value due to their being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options. The fair value of the embedded conversion option in the $1,000,000 convertible put note was determined to be $200,000 as of April 30, 2010 using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Because the number of shares to be issued upon settlement cannot be determined under this instrument, Inova cannot determine whether it will have sufficient authorized shares at a given date to settle any other of its share-settleable instruments. As a result of this, under ASC 815-15 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock” (formerly EITF 00-19), all other share-settleable instruments must be reclassified from equity to liabilities. Inova had two conversion options embedded in notes payable agreements (Ascendiant and Agile) and 15,281 warrants to purchase Inova common stock that were classified in equity as of the date that the Boone put note became convertible.
During the quarter ended July 31, 2010, Boone exercised warrants to purchase 301,114 shares of Inova common stock and 131 shares of Desert common stock. Contemporaneously, Boone exercised the related put options, requiring Inova to repurchase the warrants shares from Boone for $1,515,900. Under the put option agreement, if Inova fails to repurchase the warrant shares from Boone, the put option liability will become a convertible note. Inova did not repurchase the warrant shares and accordingly, the put option became a convertible note during the quarter ended July 31, 2010.
Additionally, Inova determined that the instruments embedded in a second convertible put note exercised by Boone during fiscal 2011 should be classified as liabilities and recorded at fair value due to their being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options. During the quarter ended January 31, 2011, Boone exercised warrants to purchase 74,442 shares of Inova common stock and 19.44% of Trakkers common stock. Contemporaneously, Boone exercised the related put options, requiring Inova to repurchase the warrants shares from Boone for $792,000. Under the put option agreement, if Inova fails to repurchase the warrant shares from Boone, the put option liability will become a convertible note. Inova did not repurchase the warrant shares and accordingly, the put option became a convertible note during the quarter ended January 31, 2011.
The fair value of the embedded conversion options in the $1,000,000, $1,515,900 and $792,000 convertible put notes was determined to be $671,245 as of April 30, 2013 using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
These notes are convertible into shares of Desert or Trakkers common stock at an amount equal to (A) 350% of the subsidiary’s EBITDA for the 12 full-months preceding such date, minus (i) the aggregate amount of the subsidiary’s indebtedness to the initial Holder at such date and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Company’s indebtedness to the subsidiary’s Sellers at such date, divided by (B) the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock at such date. The note is also convertible into shares of Inova common stock at the lower of (i) $3,000 per share of Inova common stock and (ii) the lowest per share price of Inova common stock conversion price in effect in any warrant, option, convertible note or other instrument that has been issued by Inova or that is otherwise convertible or exchangeable into Inova, after taking into effect any applicable reset or other conversion or exchange price adjustments. The conversion options are subject to reset provisions that can reduce the conversion prices based on subsequent equity or rights offerings by Desert, Trakkers or Inova below the prices above. As a result of the exercise, the put option liabilities were transferred from derivative liabilities to notes payable during the quarter.
Because the number of shares to be issued upon settlement cannot be determined under these instruments, Inova cannot determine whether it will have sufficient authorized shares at a given date to settle any other of its share-settleable instruments. As a result of this, under ASC 815-15 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock” (formerly EITF 00-19), the conversion options noted above and all other share-settleable instruments are classified as liabilities. Inova has three conversion options embedded in notes payable agreements and 70,385 and 113,677 warrants at April 30, 2013 and 2012 to purchase Inova common stock that are classified as liabilities as a result of the provisions of the convertible put notes.

Valuation Models
Inova values its warrant derivatives and simple conversion option derivatives using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Assumptions used include (1) .20% to 3.20% risk-free interest rate, (2) warrant life is the remaining contractual life of the warrants, (3) expected volatility 233% to 315%, (4) zero expected dividends (5) exercise prices as set forth in the agreements, (6) common stock price of the underlying share on the valuation date, and (7) number of shares to be issued if the instrument is converted.
Inova valued the conversion options and reset provisions under its convertible put exercise note with Boone using a Monte Carlo simulation model utilizing present value and various probabilities of events. Assumptions used include (1) 0.19% risk free rate, (2) conversion prices as set forth in the agreement, (3) expected Inova stock price volatility of 236%, (4) expected Desert and Trakkers stock price volatility of 25%, and (6) common stock price of the underlying share on the valuation date. Inova valued the note as a combination of the underlying debt payment and series of two options. Since the options are mutually exclusive, the Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate when either of the options are exercisable. When both are exercisable Inova assumed that the more valuable of the two would be exercised.
NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Earn Outs:
As part of the Trakkers acquisition an earn-out of 5% annually of all revenues generated by Trakkers less than $2.5 million and 10% of any revenues greater than $2.5 million for 5 years was established.
As part of the Right Tag acquisition an earn-out was established: Gross Profit for Right Tag for the 12 months period (“Earn Out Period”) ending April 2008 x 100%, Gross Profit for Right Tag for the 12 months period ending April 2009 x 100%, Gross Profit for Right Tag for the 12 months period ending April 2010 x 40%, Gross Profit for Right Tag for the 12 month period ending April 2011 x 20%, and Gross Profit Right Tag for the 12 month period April 2012 x 15%. Each payment will be comprised of 50% cash and 50% stock of Inova and will be paid 45 days after final date for calculation of the Earn Out for each Earn Out Period.
The amount payable under these earn outs as of April 30, 2013 and 2012 is $446,102 and $450,671, respectively.
Leases:
There is an office lease for Desert, effective May 2008 until August 2011. Rent is payable at $6,300 per month including tax. The lease has not been renewed to date and Desert plans to continue on a month-to-month basis.
There is an office lease for Trakkers, effective until April 2013. Rent is payable at $3,300 per month including tax.
Rent expense was $211,058 and $117,788 for fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. No real estate is owned by the Inova companies.
Litigation:
In May, 2010 Ascendiant filed suit for collection of the $1,847,038 principal and interest. The suit was stayed to New York and Inova and Desert have been dismissed. Ascendiant filed a new suit in a different California court for the same action; judgment was granted for the amount of the existing debt. Boone has obtained a Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”) in New York against one of the two Ascendiant entities for 1 of the 2 notes which prevents Ascendiant Opportunity Fund from collecting on the debt due.
A judgment for $1,279,219 in favor of George Jones has been entered against Inova Technology, Inc and one subsidiary Inova Technology Holdings LLC and includes an order to pay $20,000 per month to Jones. The judgment does not apply to any of Inova's operating subsidiaries. In order to ensure that Inova's operating subsidiaries are not affected, the Company has filed motions requesting TRO’s that prevent Jones from pursuing any collection activity against Inova's primary operating subsidiaries Desert Communications and Trakkers. The TRO's have been granted. Inova has also filed a motion to have the judgment set aside in addition to appealing the judgment. Inova has also commenced litigation in Nevada against Mr Jones and his related party attorney, Sean Kneafsey, seeking damages in excess of $1,000,000 for fraud on the court, practicing law without a license and other claims. Jones is in last position behind all other creditors. Inova has accrued $1,279,219 related to this judgment as of April 30, 2013.

A 401K plan was established in September 2008. Employer contributions are made each pay period and a total of $42,812 was contributed for the year ending April 30, 2013 and $88,110 for the year ending April 30, 2012.
NOTE 13 – INCOME TAX
Inova uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes.
At April 30, 2013, for federal income tax and alternative minimum tax reporting purposes, Inova had approximately $4,629,000 of unused net operating losses available for carry forward to future years. The benefit from carry-forward of such net operating losses will expire in various years through 2033.
At April 30, 2013, deferred tax assets consisted of the following:
| | United | | | | | | | |
| | States | | | Canada | | | Total | |
NOL at April 30, 2013 | | $ | 4,541,000 | | | $ | 89,000 | | | $ | 4,630,000 | |

There are no federal income taxes payable in 2013 or 2012 as a result of the operating losses recorded during those years. Based on a number of factors, including the lack of a history of profits, management believes that there is sufficient uncertainty regarding the realization of deferred tax assets, and, accordingly, has not booked an income tax benefit as of April 30, 2013 and 2012. All losses incurred can be carried forward for seven years for Canadian income tax purposes and twenty years for United States income tax purposes.
NOTE 14 – COMMON STOCK
During fiscal 2012 Inova issued:
| · | 6,667 shares of common stock for the conversion of $25,250 of Agile debt and sold 3,333 shares of common stock for $10,000. |
| · | 42,224 shares of common stock for the conversion of $32,000 of Asher debt |
| · | 69,444 shares of common stock for settlement of accounts payable |
| · | 29,333 shares of common stock for services with a fair value of $72,000 |
As a result of conversion of debt described above, Inova settled derivative liabilities with a fair value of $62,842 on the conversion dates. This amount was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
During fiscal 2013:
Inova purchased intellectual property from Southbase International Limited (“Southbase), a related party due to ownership in Southbase by Inova’s CEO. Inova issued 123,153 shares of common stock for the intellectual property, for a total value of $73,892, based on the Inova stock trading price on the closing date.
| · | 908,280 shares of common stock for the conversion of $142,530 of third party debt. |
| | |
25,074 shares of common stock with a fair value of $17,000 were issued to Advisors, LLC for services rendered. Advisors, LLC is controlled by a former director of the Company. The fair value of the stock was recorded to expense.
As a result of conversion of debt described above, Inova settled derivative liabilities with a fair value of $426,955 on the conversion dates. This amount was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
NOTE 15 – REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK & NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST
Series A Preferred Stock
Inova has authorized an undesignated amount of Series A preferred shares. Each Series A preferred share is convertible into common stock at the rate of 1 to 0.06. There were no shares of Series A preferred stock issued as of April 30, 2013 and 2012.
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
Inova has authorized 5,000 non-restricted Series B preferred shares to be issued for each acquisition with more than $40 million in sales or $10 million in EBITDA and 5,000 non-restricted Series B preferred shares authorized to be issued for each acquisition with less than $40 million in sales. Each Series B preferred share is convertible into common stock at the rate of 1 to 100. There were no shares of Series B preferred stock issued as of April 30, 2013 and 2012.
Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock
On September 1, 2008, 1,500,000 shares of redeemable preferred stock were issued in conjunction with the purchase of Trakkers and Tesselon. This is redeemable Series B, non-voting preferred, which has a dissolution value of $1 per share. The agreement was amended on December 18, 2008 and again in July 2009. The original and first amended preferred stock agreements were determined to have errors and did not represent the intent of both parties causing both to be amended. Inova must determine the method of redemption of the preferred stock any time over the one year period from issuance and when redeemed Inova may choose from the following 3 redemption options: 1) $1,500,000 payment of cash 2) Issuance of 375,000 common shares 3) Transfer of 10% of the Trakkers/Tesselon companies. Option 2) requires the company to issue the 375,000 common shares in three annual installments of 125,000 common shares each beginning no later than October 31, 2010. If elected, options 1) and 3) are due on the third anniversary of the issuance of the preferred stock. During 2009, the company originally anticipated that it would select option 2 and therefore classified the fair value of the preferred stock as a component of stockholders’ equity as of April 30, 2009. Management later determined it is best for the company to elect option 3) and therefore will settle the instrument by issuing 10% ownership of Trakkers LLC on the third anniversary of the agreement. Because the one year period from the original issuance of the preferred stock has passed, the Company can no longer change the method of redemption. At inception of the instrument, the company determined the fair value of the preferred stock was $1,307,506. Because the instrument has been settled with subsidiary stock, Inova has classified the instrument as non-controlling interest in the consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2012 and 2011 in accordance with ASC 810-10-45-17A and ASC 815-40-15-5C (formerly EITF 08-08) “Accounting for an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) with a Settlement Amount That Is Based on the Stock of an Entity’s Consolidated Subsidiary”.
The shares are in the process of being distributed as of this date.

NOTE 19 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In May and July 2013, the Company issued three notes payable for a total of $146,500. These notes are all convertible into common stock at various percentages of Inova’s market price.
In May, June, and July 2013, the company converted $111,250 of notes payable and $8,196 of accrued interest to Asher for 1,220,414 shares of the company’s common stock.
In May, June, and July 2013, the company converted $61,000 of notes payable for 923,487 shares of the company’s common stock.
We issued a proxy in May indicating the majority shareholders had voted to increase the authorized shares to 2 billion (2,000,000,000). As a result of the reverse split described below, this number was reduced to 20,000,000.
We approved a 100:1 reverse split on June 17, 2013. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted retroactively to reflect this split.
In July 2013, Inova assigned $50,000 of related party debt to a third party. The note was immediately amended to make it convertible into shares of Inova’s common stock. Subsequently, $10,000 of principal was converted into 194,704 shares of common stock.
There are no disagreements with our accountant on accounting and financial disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act") is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon 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, regardless of how remote. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Accounting Officer and Chief Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Accounting Officer and Chief Executive Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to the identification of material weaknesses in our internal controls.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
We have not yet made any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective due to material weaknesses in areas covering impairment determination, revenue recognition and supervisory responsibilities.
In assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, management identified the following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2013:
| · | Deficiencies in Segregation of Duties. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer are actively involved in the preparation of the financial statements, and therefore cannot provide an independent review. The company may establish an audit committee this year, which should address this problem. |
| · | Deficiencies in Recording Transactions. Inova failed to properly record material transactions related to its credit facility receivable, goodwill, fixed assets, derivative liabilities, equity, revenue and certain expense accounts. |
The transactional controls of cash and assets for the subsidiaries are adequate.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to the attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
PART III.
Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance
Our directors and executive officers as of the date of this Report are as follows:
Our directors and executive officers as of the date of this Report are as follows:
| Name | Age | Position |
| Adam Radly | 44 | Chief Executive Officer, President, Treasurer |
| | | |
| Bob Bates | 44 | Chief Accounting Officer |
| Subsidiary executives: | | VP Administration, Desert Chief Executive Officer, Trakkers, Righttag, Tesselon Chief Executive Officer, Desert Communications, Inc |
Adam Radly, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Treasurer
Mr. Radly became Chief Executive Officer of Inova after the merger with Web’s Biggest. Mr. Radly was previously the founder and CEO of Isis Communications. While he was CEO of Isis, the company’s revenue increased from zero to $22 million. He also complete an IPO for Isis raising A$50 million. During his tenure, Isis completed eight acquisitions, and raised an additional $30 million from U.S. institutional investors in a secondary offering. Isis later merged with AAV Ltd. Mr. Radly has subsequently done 8 other acquisitions and numerous financing transactions.
Bob Bates, Chief Accounting Officer
Bob is a CPA, CVA and CFE with over 20 years experience as a Controller and CFO for various public and private entities in several countries. He was with Allied Capital (NYSE) as Controller and has worked for other Billion dollar companies. He also worked with KPMG. He is a director of Orion Financial Group. Mr. Bates' company, HP Accounting Inc., provides the accounting services of 3 staff to Inova on a consulting basis. He is not an officer of the company.
Senior Management
The 5 executives that comprise the management of the Inova Companies have over 135 years of experience in various industries, multiple continents, in public and private companies. There are 2 MBA’s, a CPA, a Phd and CVA and CFE. They have experience at such companies as Hewlett Packard, KPMG and other multi-national companies, leading large and small corporations, in such positions as CEO, COO and CFO.
Director Independence
The full Board of Directors fulfills the role of the Audit Committee. We do not have an Audit Committee financial expert. The Board believes that due to the Company’s small size, an audit committee is unnecessary and would impose high costs in comparison to the potential benefits.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC”) initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of our Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish our Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based on our review of the Section 16(a) forms filed with the SEC, no director, officer, or 10% beneficial owner of our securities failed to timely file any report required under Section 16(a). To our knowledge, none of the above persons failed to report a reportable transaction.
We do not have a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. We have not adopted a formal code of ethics because we have determined that such a code would be an unnecessary and bureaucratic practice given the small size of the Company's management; however we endeavor to carry out our responsibilities in accordance with required laws and regulations.
The following describes the cash and stock compensation paid to our directors and officers during the two past fiscal years. Our fiscal year ends on April 30. As a result, our most recent fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, and is referred to below as 2013. The previous fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 and is referred to as 2012 below.

Other related party information:
We are not a party to an employment agreement with Mr Radly. Mr Radly has agreed to provide his services at no cost to the Company. Companies in which Mr Radly has an interest (and therefore are defined as “related” to Mr Radly) do provide additional services to the Company that do not include his services as CEO of Inova. The total amount earned by these entities in the most recent fiscal years was $240,000 annually per the management fee agreement. These amounts are reflected in the executive compensation for Mr. Radly in our filings because he has disclosed that he has an interest in these companies.
The management fees payable for work provided by Mr Radly are paid to various companies related to him and not paid to him personally. The amounts in the table above represent the total compensation paid in relation to work provided by Mr Radly and staff of his entities. As of April 5, 2013 no consulting/software development work is being done so no further accruals/payments are being made at this time.
