Nature and Continuance of Operations and Changes in Accounting Policies
a)
Nature and Continuance of Operations
PowerNova Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on 6 October 1986 in British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s shares were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and the Company was suspended from trading on 20 June 2003.
The Company is in the development stage and commenced its current development stage during the year ended 31 May 2000. The Company is in the business of acquiring and developing hydrogen production technology.
The Company’s financial statements as at 28 February 2009 and for the period then ended have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has a loss of $49,172 for the nine month ended 28 February 2009 (29 February 2008 – loss of $24,157) and has working capital deficiency of $411,385 at 28 February 2009 (31 May 2008 – $396,095).
Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. Management believes that the Company’s capital resources should be adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy during the fiscal year ended 31 May 2008. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company’s liquidity problems management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
b)
Changes in Accounting Policies
Financial Instrument Standards
Effective 1 June 2007, the Company adopted the new Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook Section 3855, “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement”; Section 3865, “Hedges”; Section 1530, “Comprehensive Income”; and Section 3861, “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation” (the “Financial Instrument Standards”). These new standards have been adopted on a prospective basis with no restatement to prior period financial statements.

28 February 2008
The CICA issued CICA Handbook Section 3862, “Financial Instruments – Disclosures” and Section 3863, “Financial Instruments – Presentation” which the Company will adopt, effective 1 June 2008. The new sections replace existing Section 3861, “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation”, revising and enhancing its disclosure requirements, and carrying forward unchanged its presentation requirements. These new sections place increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the entity manages those risks. Management expects that adoption of CICA Handbook Section 3862 and 3863 will not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
The Financial Instrument Standards require that adjustments to the carrying value of financial assets and liabilities be recorded within retained earnings or, in the case of available-for-sale assets, accumulated other comprehensive income on transition.
The principal changes resulting from the adoption of the Financial Instrument Standards are as follows:
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Under the new standards, financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and are subsequently measured based on their classification as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, available-for-sale or held-for-trading, as described below. The classification is not changed subsequent to initial recognition.
Held-to-Maturity and Loans and Receivables
Financial instruments that have a fixed maturity date, where the Company intends and has the ability to hold to maturity, are classified as held-to-maturity and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Available-for-Sale
Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value (where determinable based on market prices of actively traded securities) with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income. Available-for-sale investments are written down to fair value through earnings whenever it is necessary to reflect an other-than-temporary impairment. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of a financial asset or financial liability are added to its fair value.
Held-for-Trading
Financial assets and financial liabilities that are purchased and incurred with the intention of generating profits in the near term are classified as held-for-trading. These instruments are measured at fair value with the change in the fair value recognized in income.

28 February 2008
Derivatives and Hedge Accounting
The Company does not hold or have any exposure to derivate instruments and accordingly is not impacted by CICA Handbook Section 3865, Hedges.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is composed of the Company’s earnings and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, foreign currency translation gains and losses on the net investment in self-sustaining operations and changes in the fair market value of derivate instruments designated as cash flow hedges, all net of income taxes. Cumulative changes in other comprehensive income are included in accumulated other comprehensive income which is presented (if applicable) as a new category in shareholders’ equity.
Capital Disclosures
Effective 1 June 2007, the Company adopted the new CICA Handbook Section 1535, “Capital Disclosures” which requires the disclosure of both qualitative and quantitative information that provides users of financial statements with information to evaluate the Company’s objectives, policies and procedures for managing capital.
2.
Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”). These policies conform, in all material respects, with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“United States GAAP”), except as described in Note 12. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant.
Basis of presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applicable to development stage enterprises, and are expressed in Canadian dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is 31 May.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are amortized using the declining balance method at the following annual rate, with half the rate being applied in the year of acquisition:
Computer equipment | 30% | declining balance |
Equipment | 20% | declining balance |
Financial instruments
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Income taxes
Future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the accounting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and for loss carry forwards, and are measured using the tax rates expected to apply when these differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded against any future income tax asset if it is not more likely than not that the asset will be realized. As at 29 February 2008, the Company’s net future income tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The treasury stock method is used for determining the dilutive effect of options and warrants issued in calculating diluted earnings per share. Under this method, the dilutive effect on loss per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon the exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the year. For the years presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive.

Foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is in Canadian dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars at their applicable historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates prevailing at the date of the transaction except for amortization, which is translated at historical rates. Exchange gains and losses from the translation of foreign currencies are recognized in the period in which they occur.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Comparative figures
Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Share purchase warrants which were exercised by the share purchase warrant holders but the related common shares were not issued at 31 May 2008 and 29 February 2008 have not been included in the computation of diluted loss per share because, due to the loss position of the Company, the effect of issuing these common shares would be antidilutive (Note 7.iii)
All share purchase warrants outstanding at 31 May 2008 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 May 2008 and nine month period ended 29 February 2008 because, due to the loss position of the Company, the effect of exercising of all the share purchase warrants would be antidilutive (Note 7.v).

Reconciliation of Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. Except as set out below, these financial statements also comply, in all material respects, with United States GAAP.
Statement of cash flow difference
i.
Comprehensive income
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses). SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in the financial statements for the Company. There are no differences between net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for each of the six month period ended 28 February 2009, year ended 31 May 2008 and six month period ended 29 February 2008.
ii.
Accounting for impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of
For United States reporting purposes, the Company has adopted SFAS No. 144,“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and an estimate of future and undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss will be recognized. Application of SFAS No. 144 would not have a material effect on these financial statements.

Income taxes
Under United States GAAP, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are revalued for all enacted changes in tax rates. Under Canadian GAAP, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are revalued for all enacted or substantially enacted changes in tax rates. The difference between Canadian GAAP and United States GAAP would have not had a material effect on these financial statements.
iv.
Recent pronouncements
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155,“Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”, to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133,“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140,“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financi al instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 14, 2006, with earlier application allowed. This standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156,“Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fai r value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. This adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,“Fair Value Measures”. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company would be the first fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,“Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” This Statement requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit post retirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position, and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect that the implementation of SFAS No. 158 will have any material impact on its financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108,“Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatement in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatement using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB No. 108 but does not expect that it will have a material effect on its financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,“Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.
