BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   

The unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the Company’s interim financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented. This report on Form 10-QSB should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnote disclosure, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the Company’s Form 10-KSB/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, has been omitted. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

   

Novastar Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) was previously a development stage company engaged in the business of providing turnkey private label internet services to organizations throughout the domestic United States and Canada. Commencing July 1, 2003 the Company became an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral claims. Upon location of a commercial minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for its extraction and enter a development stage.

   

During the year ended June 30, 2005 the Company changed its name from Custom Branded Networks, Inc. and increased its authorized common shares from 50,000,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares and also authorized 50,000,000 preferred shares for issuance at a par value of $0.001.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN (Continued)

     

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $15,037,919 since inception, and has had minimal sales. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its mineral claims. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement or public offering of its common stock (See Note 14 (a)). The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

RESTRICTED CASH

     

During the year ended June 30, 2005 proceeds totaling $94,140 were received in accordance with a planned private placement of common stock scheduled to close subsequent to the year end. This private placement was terminated and no shares of the Company were issued. During the period ended March 31, 2006, $89,140 was reimbursed to the subscribers in cash, while the balance was used, with the consent of the subscribers, towards a private placement that closed in the period .

MINERAL PROPERTIES (Continued)

     
b)

On May 1, 2005 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase a 92.25% interest in three mineral interests located in the state of North Queensland, Australia. This agreement was replaced and superceded by an agreement dated September 30, 2005, to increase the Company’s purchase to a 100% interest. As consideration, the Company issued 5,000,000 restricted common shares of the Company to the vendor at a deemed value price of $1,450,000 (issued on October 21, 2005). In addition, the Company must incur the following exploration expenditures, not to exceed $695,000:

$125,000 by December 31, 2006;

  ii)

an additional $150,000 by December 31, 2007;

  iii)

an additional $140,000 by December 31, 2008;

  iv)

an additional $140,000 by December 31, 2009;

  v)

an additional $140,000 by December 31, 2010.

The vendor retains a 2.5% net smelter return royalty on the property.

On February 20, 2006 the Company repurchased the 5,000,000 common shares from the vendor for cash consideration of $400,000. The Company can still acquire the 100% interest by incurring the exploration expenditures disclosed above. Once returned to the Company’s treasury, the 5,000,000 shares were cancelled.

  c)

On December 31, 2005 the Company entered into an agreement whereby certain mineral leases in the Cleburne and Clay County Districts of Alabama are to be assigned to the Company. The Company will assume 51% of a lease held by the lessee, who subsequently become an officer of the Company but no longer served as an officer as at March 31, 2006, for consideration of 2,000,000 restricted common shares of the Company (not issued as at March 31, 2006). In addition, the Company must incur $1,500,000 on property expenditures and for each $100,000 in additional expenditures, the Company will receive an additional 4% interest in the lease up to a maximum of an extra 40% interest. Upon reaching a 91% interest, the lessee shall retain a 9% interest and shall receive $17.50 per ounce of pure Platinum Group Metal (PGM) produced. For each 2,500 ounces of PGM produced, the lessee shall receive an additional 1,000,000 restricted common shares of the Company, up to a maximum of 8,000,000 shares, for a period of two years from the acquisition of the Company’s 91% interest being obtained.

CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE

       

On January, 31, 2002 the Company executed $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible notes due not earlier than January 31, 2009. These notes were secured by the assets of the Company. The Company received $1,000,000 in advances through to June 20, 2005 (2004 - $892,119), including in-kind consideration of $100,000. The notes bore no interest until the maturity date.

       

On January 20, 2005 the Company issued 20,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.05 per share, and 20,000,000 warrants, for the purchase of 20,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, to the holder on conversion of the notes. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.05 per share until January 20, 2008. The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: weighted average expected life of 3 years, volatility of 284%, rate of quarterly dividends - $nil, risk free interest rate of 3.5%. The $1,000,000 consideration was allocated to the common stock and share purchase warrants based upon their relative fair values on the date of conversion. The amount allocated to the common shares issued was $504,166. The amount allocated to the share purchase warrants was $495,834.

       

Because the market interest rate on similar types of notes was approximately 14% per annum the day the notes were issued, the Company had recorded a discount of $579,378 related to the beneficial conversion feature. During the year ended June 30, 2005, $442,813 (2004 - $55,170) was amortized and recorded as interest expense. The discount was fully amortized as interest expense upon conversion.

       

During the period ended March 31, 2006 the share purchase warrants were cancelled by mutual agreement of the holder and the Company, in return for 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

       

On February 20, 2006 the holder returned all 15,000,000 shares to the Company’s treasury for cancellation. The Company did not compensate the holder for the return of the shares.

Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.

As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our company”, “the Company”, “Novastar Resources” and “Novastar” mean Novastar Resources Ltd., a Nevada corporation, unless otherwise indicated.

Background

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 2, 1999, under the name of Aquistar Ventures (USA) Inc. Our company was organized for the purpose of exploring for and developing mineral properties primarily in the province of Ontario, Canada, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Aquistar Ventures Inc. Aquistar Ventures Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada, on April 13, 1995 and is now inactive.

On February 2, 2001 our company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Custom Branded Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in exchange for 25,000,000 shares of common stock of our company. Our company then changed its name to Custom Branded Networks, Inc. The business of Custom Branded Networks, Inc., which was our company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, was the provision of turnkey private label internet solutions to businesses and private organizations.

Effective May 10, 2005 our company changed its name to Novastar Resources Ltd. Its legal predecessor Custom Branded Networks, Inc. had ceased its business of providing private label internet solutions and was searching for new business opportunities in hopes of enhancing shareholder value. Our board of directors decided to pursue a business model within the mining and exploration sector and proposed a name change accordingly.

On February 14, 2006 we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Thorium Power, Inc. (“Thorium Power”), a Delaware incorporated, Washington, D.C. area-based company that designs proliferation-resistant thorium-based nuclear fuels, and TP Acquisition Corp., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Novastar Resources we formed in connection with the planned merger .

Our Business

Novastar is a minerals exploration company with the objectives of both driving global demand for thorium and becoming a global supplier of thorium to the nuclear energy industry. To this end, we have acquired and plan to acquire both physical properties and rights to properties that contain monazite deposits. The phosphate mineral monazite, which exists as a sand, contains concentrations of thorium oxide as well as other Rare Earth Minerals (REM). All commercial grade thorium metal (in Oxide Form) is extracted from mineral monazite.

On September 14, 2005 we entered into an agreement under which we were assigned certain mineral leases in Alabama, USA, prospective for mining thorium and REM. On December 31, 2005 we entered into an agreement to acquire a 51% (up to 91%) interest in certain other mineral leases located in Alabama, prospective for REM and Platinum Group Metals (PGM). On September 30, 2005 we entered in to an agreement to acquire a 100% undivided interest in three mineral interests located in the state of North Queensland, Australia prospective for mining Thorium and REM .

Effective January 10, 2006 we entered into a non-binding letter of intent for a business combination with Thorium Power, Inc. (“Thorium Power”). Thorium Power is a privately-held Washington, D.C. area-based company that develops and deploys thorium-based nuclear fuel technologies designed to stop the production of weapons-suitable plutonium and eliminate existing plutonium stockpiles (see www.thoriumpower.com). On February 14, 2006 we entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Thorium Power.

Effective March 17, 2006 Seth Grae, Chief Executive Officer and President of Thorium Power, became Chief Executive Officer, President, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Interim Treasurer of Novastar Resources.

On April 12, 2006 Thorium Power stockholders holding a majority of that company’s common stock approved the Merger Agreement by written consent, satisfying an approval condition contained in the Merger Agreement.

Upon consummation of the merger, which has been approved by the board of directors of both Novastar Resources and Thorium Power, Thorium Power will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Novastar Resources, and the combined company will operate under the name Thorium Power Ltd.

Overview

Utilizing thorium based nuclear fuels has several important societal benefits, such as safety benefits, environmental benefits and non-proliferation benefits. Thorium is more abundant, more efficient and safer to use as a reactor fuel than uranium. Also important, thorium reactors leave behind very little weapons grade plutonium.

As of March 31, 2006 there was not yet global demand for thorium as a source of nuclear fuel. We believe that there will be significant surges in demand for thorium at some future point; however we are unable to predict when or if this will occur.

In addition to the acquisition of thorium properties and mineral rights, we have identified potential short-term revenue opportunities to supplement our business since other metals of commercial significance can be extracted from monazite, namely, REM of the Yttrium Group. REM can be divided into two groups, the first containing Yttrium, Lanthanum, Cerium, Neodymium (“Yttrium Group”), and the second containing Europium, Gadolinium, Terbium, Dysprosium, Holmium, & Erbium (“Dysprosium Group”). Mineral monazite only contains concentrations of REM classified in the Yttrium Group. We plan on processing and stockpiling REM as a by-product of mining and refining monazite into thorium oxide. We are in the process of identifying potential buyers of REM both in the United States and abroad.

Merger Agreement

On February 14, 2006, Novastar Resources entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Thorium Power and TP Acquisition Corp., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Novastar Resources formed in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Concurrently therewith, Novastar Resources (1) adopted its 2006 Stock Plan, (2) entered into an employment agreement with Seth Grae, President and Chief Executive Officer of Thorium Power, (3) granted certain nonqualified stock options to Mr. Grae and (4) entered into a subscription agreement with Thorium Power for the purchase of 150,000 shares of


- 6 -

common stock of Thorium Power for $4.00 per share. In addition, Novastar Resources amended and restated its consulting agreement with Alan Gelband.

Prior to and in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Novastar Resources owned 37,500 shares of common stock of Thorium Power, also purchased for $4.00 per share. As at March 31, 2006 and currently, Novastar Resources owns 175,000 shares of Thorium Power’s common shares, or 4.74% of Thorium Power’s total common shares issued and outstanding. Upon consummation of the merger, these 175,000 shares will be converted to shares of Novastar Resources and retired to treasury.

In anticipation of consummation of the merger, on April 2, 2006 Paul G. Carter and Charles H. Merchant resigned from our board of directors and Seth Grae, Thomas Graham, Jr. and Cornelius J. Milmoe became the new members of our board of directors.

Upon consummation of the merger, which has been approved by the boards of directors of both Novastar Resources and Thorium Power as well as approved by stockholders holding a majority (57.9%) of the shares of Thorium Power, Thorium Power will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Novastar Resources and the combined company will operate under the name Thorium Power Ltd. Under the Merger Agreement, each common share of Thorium Power will be converted into securities of Novastar Resources such that Thorium Power’s current stockholders will own less than 50.0% of the combined company, and each share of Novastar Resources common stock will remain outstanding. The combined company will be headquartered in the Washington D.C. area.

The merger is conditioned upon, among other things, approvals by stockholders of Novastar Resources and Thorium Power of certain corporate matters (received), no legal impediment to the merger, the absence of any material adverse effect on Novastar Resources or Thorium Power, completion of due diligence reviews by both companies, the declaration of effectiveness of a registration statement by the Securities and Exchange Commission and any other necessary regulatory approvals. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Novastar Resources and Thorium Power, and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, either company may be required to pay the other company a termination fee of $500,000.

2006 Stock Plan

Effective February 14, 2006 Novastar Resources adopted its 2006 Stock Plan. The 2006 Stock Plan provides for grants of restricted shares of common stock and grants of stock options. Under the terms of the 2006 Stock Plan, Novastar Resources may grant a maximum of 20 million shares of common stock, to consist of no more than 20 million shares issuable under incentive stock options and no more than 10 million restricted shares of common stock. The maximum number of restricted shares that may be granted to one individual in any fiscal year is five million shares, and the maximum number of options that may be granted to one individual in any fiscal year is eight million shares.

On February 14, 2006 Novastar Resources granted a ten-year share purchase option to Seth Grae, pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement entered into with him on February 14, 2006. The share purchase option allows Mr. Grae to purchase 7,200,000 shares of the company’s common stock at $0.795 per share, subject to vesting provisions. The option shall vest with respect to 6/48th or 900,000 of the total number of shares issuable pursuant to option exercise, on August 14, 2006, and thereafter 1/48th or 150,000 shall vest per month. Accelerated vesting provisions apply in certain circumstances.

On April 25, 2006 the company appointed George D. Crowley, Jr. as Chairman of the company’s International Advisory Board and granted him a ten-year share purchase option allowing him to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the company’s common stock at $0.64 per share, subject to vesting provisions. The option shall vest with respect to 500,000 of the total number of shares issuable pursuant to option exercise, on October 1, 2006, and thereafter 41,667 shall vest per month. Accelerated vesting provisions apply in certain circumstances.

Results of Operations

Summary

Our consolidated net loss for our third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $5,060,664 or $0.04 per share as compared to a net loss of $1,322,180 or $0.02 per share in the prior year’s comparative quarter, for a net loss increase of $3,738,484. During the quarter we incurred a $4,150,000 expense from the issuance of 5 million shares to Seth Grae pursuant to his employment agreement. Absent this expense, our net loss would have been $910,664 or a decrease of $411,516 from the prior year’s comparative quarter.

During our second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005 we incurred a $1,754,166 expense on the issuance of common shares in compensation for the cancellation of share purchase warrants. With the agreement of the shareholders, these shares were cancelled in our third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006. Accordingly, this non-cash expense amount has been reversed into income in our third fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2006. Absent this expense reversal, our consolidated net loss for our third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006 would have been $6,814,830 or $0.05 per share.

Our consolidated net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 was $10,899,554 or $0.11 per share as compared to a net loss of $1,356,387 or $0.03 per share in the prior year’s comparative period, for a net loss increase of $9,543,167. Excluding the $4,150,000 expense from the issuance of 5 million shares to Mr. Grae pursuant to his employment agreement, our consolidated net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 was $6,749,554 or $0.07 per share, for a net loss increase of $5,393,167 from the prior year’s comparative period. The largest new expenses were related to mineral property payments and consulting fees paid to consultants whose services included research into prospective business venues, seeking out business opportunities, making introductions and other business consulting.

During the three months ended March 31, 2006 we expensed $224,946 in mineral property exploration costs. We expensed $1,219,379 in consulting fees during the quarter. In the prior year’s comparative fiscal quarter we incurred no mineral property costs and $833,048 in consulting fees expense.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2006 we expensed $269,608 in mineral property exploration costs, $1,720,544 in mineral property acquisition costs and $3,362,399 in consulting fees. The mineral property acquisition costs and consulting fees were largely non-cash expenses paid for in shares of our common stock. In the prior year’s comparative period we incurred no mineral property costs and $833,048 in consulting fees expense, such expense mainly attributable to stock based compensation provided to consultants with respect to the company entering into the natural resources sector.

Our company was essentially inactive in the prior year’s comparative periods.

Mineral Production and Revenue

As we are still a development stage company and in the exploration stage on our mineral interests, being leases and claims located in Alabama, U.S.A. and North Queensland, Australia, respectively, we have not as of yet produced any minerals revenues nor produced any minerals.

Exploration, Property Evaluation and Holding Costs

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006 we acquired no mineral interests. During the nine month period ended March 31, 2006 we acquired mineral interests as detailed below. During the quarter ended December 31, 2006 we commenced preliminary exploration activities and expended $44,662 in mineral property exploration expenses. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006 we expended $224,946 in mineral property exploration expenses.

On December 31, 2005, we entered into an assignment of minerals lease with Dr. Charles H. Merchant for the assignment of a lease entered into between Dr. Merchant and John Hancock Real Estate Division of certain unpatented mining claims located in Cleburne and Clay Counties, State of Alabama.

Pursuant to the assignment of minerals lease, our company will acquire a 51% interest in the leased claims on the properties from Dr. Merchant on the following terms:


- 8 -

  (a)

the issuance of 2,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Dr. Merchant; and

     
  (b)

incurring $1,500,000 on property expenditures (as defined in the assignment agreement); and

     
  (c)

for each additional $100,000 on property expenditures, we will receive an additional 4% interest in the lease for the properties, up to a maximum of an additional $1,000,000 in expenditures for an additional 40% interest.

In addition, upon a 91% interest in the leased claims on the properties being acquired by us, Dr. Merchant will retain a 9% interest in the leased claims on the properties upon such acquisition, and will receive $17.50 per ounce of pure Platinum Group Metal (PGM) produced for a period of two years from the acquisition of the 91% interest being obtained. For each 2,500 ounces of pure PGM produced, Dr. Merchant will receive an additional 1,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock, up to a maximum of 8,000,000 shares of our common stock.

On September 14, 2005 we entered into an agreement with an Alabama proprietorship owned by Dr. Merchant, to be assigned all mineral rights located on certain properties located in the Clay County District of Alabama and commonly referred to as the Ashland Graphite Properties. The terms of the agreement require our company to pay $100,000 cash (paid in the quarter ended September 30, 2005), issue 1,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock (issued October 21, 2005) and pay a net royalty of $15 per ton of thorium/monazite removed from the leased properties. There are no minimum required exploration or development expenditures.

Effective September 30, 2005, we entered into an agreement with Walter Doyle to acquire an undivided 100% interest in any deposits of thorium, monazite and other REM on three mining properties in North Queensland, Australia. In consideration, we agreed to issue 5,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock (issued October 21, 2005), pay a 2.5% net smelter return royalty and incur the following exploration expenditures:

  i)

$125,000 by December 31, 2006;

     
  ii)

An additional $150,000 by December 31, 2007;

As of March 31, 2006 we had three officers and employees: Seth Grae, Chief Executive Officer, President, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Interim Treasurer, Dr. Charles Merchant, Head of Mining Operations, and Thomas Graham, Interim Secretary.

We use consultants with specific skills to assist with various aspects of our project evaluation, due diligence, acquisition initiatives, corporate governance and business development.

On January 17, 2006 we entered into a six month consulting agreement with Alan Gelband. This agreement was amended on February 6, 2006. Pursuant to the amended agreement, Novastar Resources will issue a minimum of 2,389,558 restricted shares of our common stock to Mr. Gelband (issued), in consideration for his provision of investment banking and advisory services to Novastar Resources in relation to the proposed business combination with Thorium Power, to a maximum figure calculated pursuant to a formula and limited to no more than 1% of the issued and outstanding shares of the combined company.

Agreement to Employ Seth Grae

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, effective February 14, 2006 Novastar Resources entered into a five year employment agreement with Seth Grae, wherein Novastar Resources has agreed to pay him an annual salary of $275,000 for performing the duties of President and Chief Executive Officer as described in the employment agreement. In addition, Novastar Resources has agreed to issue to Mr. Grae 5,000,000 shares of restricted stock (issued) and grant to Mr. Grae 7,200,000 non-qualified stock options (granted), with a term of ten years at an exercise price of $0.795 per share. The shares of restricted stock vest immediately on issuance and will be subject to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Seth Grae has played an active role in all business activities of Thorium Power since the company’s founding. He is a member of the board of directors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and has served as co-chair of the


- 10 -

American Bar Association’s Committee on Arms Control and Disarmament. As a member of the board of directors of the Lawyers Alliance for World Security, Mr. Grae helped advise on the drafting of nuclear export control regulations in China and Belarus, and he participated in consultations with the government of India on nuclear power and weapons. He represented refuseniks pro bono who were nuclear scientists, in securing exit visas from the Soviet Union. Mr. Grae led the efforts that resulted in Thorium Power becoming one of the first Western companies to contract with Russian nuclear institutes and become one of the first grant recipients from the United States Department of Energy for nuclear non-proliferation related work in Russia. Mr. Grae obtained his B.A. from Brandeis University cum laude, J.D. from American University, LL.M. in International Law with honors from Georgetown University, and MBA from Georgetown University.

Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Used In Operations

Cash used in operations was $622,572 in the nine months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to cash used of $107,881 in the prior fiscal year’s comparative period. The change of $514,691 can be primarily attributed to increased accounting, legal and public relations costs in reflection of our increased level of corporate activity as compared to the year earlier period, when the Company was essentially inactive.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2006, interest amortization totalled $Nil as compared to $442,813 in the prior year. The decrease is attributable to settlement of the note payable.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $459,662 in the nine months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to an increase of $72,528 in the prior year’s comparative period.

Prior to consideration of changes in non-cash operating working capital items, cashed used in operations was $868,153 in the nine months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to cash used of $180,409 in the prior fiscal year’s comparative period. The change of $687,744 can be primarily attributed to increased accounting, legal and public relations costs in reflection of our increased level of corporate activity as compared to the year earlier period, when the Company was essentially inactive.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2006, $7,632,657 of expenses (including $3,595,801 of consulting services, $1,610,000 of mineral property acquisition costs and $870,335 of stock based management compensation) were incurred by payment in shares of common stock in lieu of cash. This compares to $733,048 of expenses paid in shares in lieu of cash in the prior fiscal year’s comparative period, all of which related to consulting fees.

Financing Activities

We received net cash from financing activities of $1,446,486 in the nine month period ended March 31, 2006, as compared to $Nil in the previous year’s comparative period.

On November 23, 2005 we closed a private placement of $631,500, consisting of an offering of 4,209,998 units at a price of $0.15 per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one additional share of common stock at a price of $0.30 per share and has an expiry date of twelve months from the closing date of the subscription. Of the 4,209,998 units issued in the private placement, 249,999 units were issued as settlement of debt. The remainder of the units were issued for total cash proceeds of $594,000.

On March 30, 2006 we closed a $1,262,500 private placement, consisting of an offering of 4,208,331 units at a price of $0.30 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one additional share of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share and expires twelve months from the closing date of the subscription.

Of the proceeds raised in the $1,262,500 private placement, $400,000 was expended in order to repurchase 5,000,000 restricted shares from a shareholder. These shares were returned to treasury and cancelled February 20, 2006.


- 11 -

Subsequent to March 31, 2006 we closed a 36,659,837 unit private placement at $0.425 per unit for cash proceeds of $15,580,434. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one additional share of common stock at a price of $0.65 per share and expires twelve months from the closing date of the subscription.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2006 our total assets were $1,080,250 as compared to $73,370 at December 31, 2006, our prior quarter-end and $802 on June 30, 2005, our prior fiscal year-end.

Liabilities of $691,505 as of March 31, 2006 compare to $235,192 as of December 31, 2006 and $224,980 reported as of June 30, 2005.

We had a working capital deficiency of $366,545 on March 31, 2006 as compared to $161,822 on December 31, 2005 and $224,178 on June 30, 2005.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006 we closed a $1,262,500 private placement of shares and warrants, and subsequent to quarter-end we closed a $15,580,434 private placement of shares and warrants, both referred to above under Financing Activities.

Plan of Operations and Cash Requirements

Without regard to the proposed acquisition of Thorium Power pursuant to the definitive merger agreement as discussed above, which transaction is subject to closing conditions that may take some months to satisfy, major cash commitments over the next 12 months are related to proposed exploration activities, corporate administration and operations. Our minimum committed exploration expenditures on our mineral properties total $125,000 by December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007. Thus, we currently have sufficient liquidity to meet our minimum required expenditures over the 12 months ending March 31, 2007.

With regard to the proposed acquisition of Thorium Power, we do not currently contemplate that the acquisition of Thorium Power will materially increase our minimum committed expenditures. However, overall expenditures will materially increase and these amounts will vary in relation to governmental and private funding. Further detail will be provided in appropriate regulatory filings and disclosures subsequent to the date of this report.

Estimated Expenditures Over the Next Twelve Months

Absent the proposed acquisition of Thorium Power, we anticipate that we will expend approximately $885,000 during the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2007 as follows:

Operating expenses      
       Exploration and drilling $  165,000  
       Land and lease expenditures   20,000  
       General and Administrative   650,000  
Capital expenditures   50,000  
Total $  885,000  

We currently have minimal debt and have not established a limit as to the amount of debt we may incur, nor have we adopted a ratio of our equity to debt allowance.

If we seek to obtain additional financing, there is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, or if available that it will be available on acceptable terms.


- 12 -

If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of our outstanding shares of common stock. We could suffer adverse consequences if we are unable to obtain additional capital, which would cast substantial doubt on our ability to continue our operations and growth.

RISK FACTORS

Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Such estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements” involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution readers of this quarterly report that important factors in some cases have affected and in the future could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements”. In evaluating us, our business and any investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the following factors:

Our company’s limited operating history makes it difficult for you to judge its prospects.

Our company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our current business and our prospects can be based. You should consider any purchase of our shares in light of the risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered by all companies in the early stages of its corporate development.

Our company has entered into a definitive merger agreement with another company.

Consolidated results of our company will materially change on a go-forward basis if and when the proposed acquisition of Thorium Power, Inc. is consummated pursuant to the recently entered into definitive merger agreement.

Liquidity and capital resources are uncertain.

For the nine month period ended March 31, 2006 we incurred a net loss of $10,899,554 and used $622,572 of cash in operations. As at March 31, 2006 we had a working capital deficit of $366,545. Subsequent to March 31, 2006 we raised cash proceeds of $15,580,434 in a private placement of shares and warrants. While these proceeds meet our foreseeable needs for the next 12 months, we may need to raise additional capital by way of an offering of equity securities, an offering of debt securities, or by obtaining financing through a bank or other entity. If our company needs to obtain additional financing, there is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, that it will be available on terms acceptable to us, or that any future offering of securities will be successful. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of our outstanding shares of common stock.

The value and transferability of our shares of common stock may be adversely impacted by the limited trading market for our shares and the penny stock rules.

There is only a limited trading market for our shares of common stock. Our shares of common stock are traded in the over-the-counter market and “bid” and “asked” quotations regularly appear on the OTC-Bulletin Board under the symbol “NVAS”. There can be no assurance that our shares of common stock will trade at prices at or above its present level, and an inactive or illiquid trading market may have an adverse impact on the market price. In addition, holders of our shares of common stock may experience substantial difficulty in selling their securities as a result of the “penny stock rules,” which restrict the ability of brokers to sell certain securities of companies whose assets or revenues fall below the thresholds established by those rules.


- 13 -

Future sales of shares may adversely impact the value of our shares of common stock.

If required, our company may seek to raise additional capital through the sale of our shares of common stock. Future sales of our shares of common stock by us or our stockholders could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Mineral exploration and development activities are speculative in nature.

Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by our company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond our control and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.

Substantial expenditures are required to establish mineral reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities and grades to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results. Short term factors relating to reserves, such as the need for orderly development of ore bodies or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project.

Our company will be subject to operating hazards and risks which may adversely affect our company’s financial condition.

Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of minerals and metals, such as unusual or unexpected formations, cave-ins or pollution, all of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage. We do not have general liability insurance covering our operations and do not presently intend to obtain liability insurance as to such hazards and liabilities. Payment of any liabilities as a result could have a materially adverse effect upon our company’s financial condition.

Our company’s activities will be subject to environmental and other industry regulations which could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our company.

Our activities are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation generally provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards and enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent.

Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our company.

The operations of our company including exploration and development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, state, territorial, provincial and local governmental authorities


- 14 -

and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations and, in particular, environmental laws.

Competition may have an impact on our company’s ability to acquire attractive mineral properties, which may have an adverse impact on our company’s operations.

Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of mineral acquisition opportunities available. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than our company, we may be unable to acquire attractive mineral properties on acceptable terms. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any exploration program intended by our company on properties it intends to acquire, will yield any reserves or result in any commercial mining operation.

Downward fluctuations in metal prices may severely reduce the value of our company.

We have no control over the fluctuations in the prices of the thorium and other REM that we are exploring for. A significant decline in such prices could severely reduce the value of our company.

We currently rely on certain key individuals and the loss of one of these certain key individuals could have an adverse effect on our company.

Our success depends to a certain degree upon key members of our management. These individuals are a significant factor in our company’s growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management and certain key employees could have a material adverse effect on our company.

We are an exploration stage company, and there is no assurance that a commercially viable deposit or “reserve” exists on any properties for which our company has, or might obtain, an interest.

We are an exploration stage company and cannot give assurance that a commercially viable deposit or reserve exists on any properties for which we currently have or may have an interest. Therefore, determination of the existence of a deposit or reserve depends on appropriate and sufficient exploration work and the evaluation of legal, economic, and environmental factors. If we fail to find a commercially viable deposit on any of our properties, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

We require substantial funds merely to determine whether commercial mineral deposits exist on our properties.

Any potential development and production of our exploration properties depends upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists. Such programs require substantial additional funds. Any decision to further expand our operations on these exploration properties is anticipated to involve consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including, but not limited to:


- 15 -

  1.

Costs of bringing each property into production, including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies and construction of production facilities;

     
  2.

Availability and costs of financing;

     
  3.

Ongoing costs of production;

     
  4.

Market prices for the minerals to be produced;

     
  5.

Environmental compliance regulations and restraints; and

     
  6.

Political climate and/or governmental regulation and control.

General Mining Risks

Factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered from resource properties we own or may acquire. Metal prices have fluctuated widely in recent years. Government regulations relating to price, royalties, allowable production and importing and exporting of minerals can adversely affect our company. There can be no certainty that we will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and operations on any projects we own or may acquire and environmental concerns about mining in general continue to be a significant challenge for all mining companies

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by the quarterly report, being March 31, 2006, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our company’s Chief Executive Officer concluded that our company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as at the end of the period covered by this report. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest. The outcome of open unresolved legal proceedings is presently indeterminable. Any settlement resulting from resolution of these contingencies will be accounted for in the period of settlement. We do not believe the potential outcome from these legal proceedings will significantly impact our financial position, operations or cash flows.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On February 14, 2006, we completed a private placement of 4,208,340 units (each, a “Unit”), at a price of $0.30 per Unit, to 13 accredited investors for total proceeds of $1,262,500. Each Unit consists of one share of our common stock and one-half of one purchase warrant. Each whole purchase warrant is non-transferable and entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of our common stock for a period of 12 months, at a price per share of $0.50.

Each investor confirmed in writing that it is an accredited investor and represented its intention to acquire the securities for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution. We did not use, and no person acting on its behalf used, any form of general solicitation or general advertising in connection with this offering. Appropriate legends shall be affixed to the stock certificates to be issued to each investor. Each investor acknowledged that the sale of the securities was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that the securities could not be resold unless the securities were registered or an exemption from registration was available. As a result of the foregoing, we relied on the provisions of Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the issuance of the securities.

Pursuant to the agreements with Mr. Gelband, we issued to Mr. Gelband 2,389,558 restricted shares of common stock on February 13, 2006. Mr. Gelband confirmed that he is an accredited investor and represented his intention to acquire the securities for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution. Mr. Gelband acknowledged that the sale of the securities was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that the securities could not be resold unless the securities were registered or an exemption from registration was available. As a result of the foregoing, we relied on the provisions of Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the issuance of the securities.

Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement with Seth Grae, we agreed to issue 5,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to Mr. Grae, and grant to Mr. Grae 7,200,000 non-qualified stock options, with a term of ten years at an exercise price of $0.795 per share. The stock options shall be granted under the newly adopted 2006 Stock Plan. As a result of the relationship with Mr. Grae, we relied on the provisions of Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the issuance of the securities.

On May 4, 2006, we completed a private placement of 36,659,837 Units at a price of $0.425 per Unit with a number of institutional investors, including Magnetar Capital Master Fund, Ltd., clients of Wellington Management Company, LLP, clients of Highfields Capital Management LP, clients of Cumberland Associates LLC, SF Capital Partners Ltd., Sunrise Equity Partners, L.P., and several other institutional investors as well as several accredited individual investors for total proceeds of $15,580,434.20. Each Unit consists of one share of our common stock and one-half of one purchase warrant. Each whole purchase warrant is non transferable and entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of our common stock for a period of 12 months at a price per share of $0.65.

Each investor confirmed in writing that it is an accredited investor and represented its intention to acquire the securities for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution. We did not use, and no person acting on its behalf used, any form of general solicitation or general advertising in connection with this offering. Appropriate legends shall be affixed to the stock certificates to be issued to each investor. Each investor acknowledged that the sale of the securities was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that the securities could


- 17 -

not be resold unless the securities were registered or an exemption from registration was available. As a result of the foregoing, we relied on the provisions of Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the issuance of the securities.
