NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 1998
1) Nature of Business and Organization
Nova International Films, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on November
27, 1984 in the State of Delaware. The Company was formed for the purpose
of financing and producing motion pictures for distribution in the
theatrical, home video and pay and free television markets throughout the
world.
a. Issuance of Common Stock
On January 2, 1986, the Company completed a public offering, whereby ten
million (10,000,000) units were sold at $.10 per unit, each unit consisting
of one (1) share of Common Stock, $.00001 par value, and one (1) Redeemable
Common Stock Purchase Warrant. These warrants have now lapsed.
b. Disposition of Assets
On May 12, 1993 (the "Closing"), the stockholders of the Company approved
an Acquisition Agreement dated March 3, 1993 (the "Acquisition Agreement")
by and between the Company and Epic Productions, Inc. ("Epic"), pursuant to
which the Company sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to Epic and Epic
acquired from the Company (i) all of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of each of Byzantine Fire, Inc. a California corporation,
Wings of the Apache, Inc., a California corporation, and A/R Productions,
Ltd., a California corporation (collectively, the "Subsidiary
Corporations"); (ii) all rights to the completed films "Triumph of the
Spirit", "Firebirds" and "Why Me?", (sometimes collectively herein the
"Completed Films"); and (iii) the Company's rights related to the film
project "Carlito's Way" and Jean Claude Van Damme. In exchange therefor,
Epic assumed all debts and liabilities of the Company with respect to the
assets acquired, paid the Company the sum of $50,000, acquired the Bank
Loan from the Bank as described in Note #5 "Debt" and modified the loan
arrangements thereafter plus other indebtedness due Epic from the Company.
2) General
The financial statements for the quarter ended January 31, 1998 and for the
year ended October 31, 1997 are unaudited. However, it is management's
opinion that all adjustments necessary for fair presentation of these
financial statements have been made and are included herein.

3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Financial Statement Presentation
In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 53, the Company has elected to present an unclassified
balance sheet.
b. Depreciation and Amortization
Furniture and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets,
which is typically five year. All assets are fully depreciated as of
January 31, 1998.
c. Per Share Amounts
Per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period.
5) Debt
In connection with the financing of the film "Triumph of the Spirit", the
Company was unable to pay Credit Lyonnais Bank Nederland N.V. (the "Bank")
the note payable (the "Bank Loan") incurred to finance such film at its
original maturity date of March 31, 1991. The Company was able to
negotiate an extension of the maturity date of this note until September
30, 1991, but thereupon the Company became in default of its obligation.
Upon the Closing of the Acquisition Agreement, Epic acquired the Bank Loan
from the Bank and modified the payment terms of the Bank Loan assigned to
it and other indebtedness of the Company to Epic. In October 1993, Epic
assigned and contributed to the capital of the Company all of such
indebtedness of the Company to Epic plus accrued and unpaid interest. In
addition, at the Closing, $3 million of indebtedness (plus interest
thereon) under the Bank Loan was not acquired by Epic, pursuant to which
the Bank, Epic and the Company agreed that such portion of the Bank Loan
(The "Nonrecourse Obligations") be payable interest and then principal only
from operating receipts from "Triumph of the Spirit" which was acquired by
Epic pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement.
As of November 30, 1996, Nova assigned to Epic and Epic assumed the
remaining $3 million Nonrecourse Obligations plus interest thereon. As such
no interest was accrued for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997 and the
quarter ended January 31, 1998.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
or Plan of Operation.
The Company had no revenues for the three months ended January 31,
1998 and 1997. For the three months ended January 31, 1998, the Company
had a net loss of $(570) as compared to a net loss of $(310) for the three
months ended January 31, 1997.
At the current time, the Company's sole means to pay for its overhead
operations is its existing cash reserves in the total amount of $7,556 as
of January 31, 1998. Accordingly, the Company has significantly reduced
its overhead. In connection therewith, the Company does not pay any
officer salaries and rent. Its costs primarily include only those costs
necessary to retain its corporate charter, file necessary tax returns and
report to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and certain expenses in
seeking business opportunities.
In addition, as a result of the closing of the Acquisition Agreement
(see Notes to the Financial Statements included elsewhere herein), the
Company has no current business operations and has begun and will continue
to seek another business opportunity. As of the date of this report, the
Company has no agreement, understanding or arrangement to acquire or
participate in any specific business opportunity. No assurance can be
given that the Company will be able to consummate any such arrangements or,
if consummated, that such business opportunity will be successful.
