NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and include all adjustments which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results,
for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are, in the opinion of
management, of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the six-
month period ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results to be expected for the full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
1999.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY: Nova Communications Ltd., (the "Company" or
"Nova"), was formerly known as First Colonial Ventures, Ltd. Stockholders of
the Company met in June 1999, and voted to change the name of the Company,
change its state of incorporation from Utah to Nevada, and to terminate its
status under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a Business Development
Company. The Company acquires ownership interests in business opportunities.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate
continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company and its investees
have sustained operating losses for several years and required substantial
amounts of working capital in their operations. At June 30, 2000, liabilities
exceed assets by $1,303,203. The Company does not have an investee with current
operations. The Company continues to have difficulty in meeting its obligations
as they become due. The Company's cash flow for the quarter ended June 30,
2000, was not sufficient to meet current operating requirements and the Company
continues to have difficulty making satisfactory progress toward liquidating its
past due obligations. Creditors have recorded judgments against the Company.
The ability of the Company to acquire profitable operations and generate
sufficient positive cash flow is dependent upon obtaining additional capital
and/or sale of remaining investments. The Company's financial statements do not
include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to
continue as a going concern.
CASH - Cash includes only cash in unrestricted bank accounts.
7
<PAGE>
INVESTMENTS: The Company's investments in equity securities are carried at cost
less valuation reserves established in prior years. The Company determined that
one of these investments does not currently have a readily determinable fair
value and, accordingly, cannot be classified as "Trading" or "Available for
Sale" pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
115. The Company's option to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of
Communications 2000, Inc. was extended by mutual agreement to June 30, 2000, and
was exercised on July 31, 2000 when the Company acquired 80% of the
Communications 2000, Inc. outstanding capital stock.
INCOME TAXES: Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liabilities
approach. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
computed for differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
their tax basis that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future
using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are
expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to
reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax
expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change
in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
NET LOSS PER SHARE: Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Preferred stock is not considered to be a common stock equivalent.
SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES: The process of preparing financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
the use of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and
liabilities and the reported amounts for revenues and expenses. Such estimates
and assumptions primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the
date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results
may differ from estimated amounts.
NOTE C - INVESTMENTS:
Investments included the following at December 31, 1999:
<TABLE>

-----------------------
<S> <C> <C>
Gulf Coast Hotels, Inc.
Common Stock (at cost) 1,875 shares $ 209,782 $ 209,782

Common Stock (appraised value) 362,500 shares 497,757 362,500
Valuation reserve (297,747) (162,500)
</TABLE>
At December 31, 1999, the Company's remaining investments included the Gulf
Coast Hotels project, cash advances to Communications 2000, Inc., and the
investment in And Justice For All (the "Legal Club") common stock.
Gulf Coast Hotels - In 1994, Gulf Coast Hotels, (a non-public Mississippi
corporation) acquired the rights to approximately 1.4 acres in Biloxi,
Mississippi for the purpose of developing a high-rise condominium on the site.
Negotiations began approximately two years ago for the transfer of these rights
to a development group in exchange for cash plus a minority interest in the
group. Although tentative agreement has been reached several times, there have
been various obstacles including water rights, sewer limitations, and
undisclosed liens against the property, that have prevented closing the deal.
Due to the uncertainties involved, the investment was fully reserved in 1997 by
a charge to unrealized losses. Management believes that eventually
8
<PAGE>
the project will go forward and continues to support resolution of the
obstacles;
And Justice For All (Legal Club) - During 1996 and 1997, the Company acquired
650,000 shares of common stock of the Legal Club, a nationwide membership
organization providing access to attorney services at discounted rates. During
1998, the Legal Club became a public company trading over-the-counter. The
Legal Club shares owned by the Company were issued pursuant to Rule 144 and
became "free trading" on April 19, 2000. Bid and ask prices for Legal Club
common stock are available. Accordingly, the Company valued its Legal Club
investment based upon management's appraisal. On June 7, 1999, the Company paid
out 250,000 shares of its Legal Club common stock as a loan fee, and assigned
337,500 shares and pledged an additional 25,000shares of Legal Club common stock
as collateral for a loan and legal fees. The loan agreement provides for an
"orderly liquidation" of the Legal Club shares held as collateral commencing
December 1999 to repay the loan.

shares of its common stock to the private investor under an agreement whereby
the Company would payoff the note with shares of its stock. The Company
guaranteed the private investor that proceeds received from future sale of the
investor's Nova stock would be sufficient to payoff the note in full. The
private investor accepted the shares of Nova common stock but did not sign the
agreement.
Foothill Bank/Investment Group - The Company guaranteed the asset based line of
credit extended by Foothill Independent Bank to Contemporary Resources. Since
the closure of Contemporary, the bank has looked to the Company to honor its
guarantee and payoff the line of credit. On June 7, 1999, the Company arranged
for a loan in the amount of $525,000 and used the proceeds to payoff the
Foothill Bank line of credit, to pay certain legal and consulting fees, and for
working capital. Terms of the new loan included a loan fee of 250,000 shares of
Legal Club common stock that was tendered to the lender. Also, the Company
assigned 337,500 shares and pledged an additional 25,000 shares of Legal Club
common stock as collateral for the loan and legal fees. The loan plus interest
at 10% per annum is due August 31, 2000.
