Dear Shareholder:
You are cordially invited to attend a Special Meeting of Shareholders
of Nova Natural Resources Corporation on December 15, 2000,28, 2001, at 10:00
a.m., at 950 South Cherry Street,3160 Steeles Avenue East, Suite 900, Denver, Colorado.222, Markham, Ontario,
Canada. We look forward to greeting those shareholders who
are able to attend.
At the meeting, you are being asked to amend the Company's Articles
of Incorporation to increase the number of Shares of Common Stock,
$.10$ .10 par value, the Company is authorized to issue from 17,000,000300,000,000
to 300,000,000
shares.816,000,000 shares, following which a reverse split of these
shares will be effectuated on the basis of 1 new share of Common for
each 102 shares of Common now held. You will also be asked to
approve a change in the Company's name to Nova International
Corporation, which is more reflective of the location of the
company's sales and manufacturing facilities and the international
nature of the Company's current lines of business. The Company is no
longer in the natural resources business.
Management believes that reverse-splitting the Company's Common stock
is a necessary step toward achieving the goal of gaining a listing of
Company's Common shares on one of the major securities markets. If
this proposal is approved, which is virtually assured, since
Management controls the majority of the Company's shares, those
shareholders who own, in aggregate, one hundred and two (102) or less
common shares on the record date, thus holding one (1) common share
or less after the proposed reverse split, will have such shares
or fractional shares canceled, and will be paid for those shares upon
written request. The written request must be accompanied by the
certificate(s) representing such shares, and must be received by the
Company no later than December 1, 2002. Upon receipt of the written
request and the share certificate(s) the submitting shareholder will
be paid for the share or fractional shares on the basis of ten cents
$0.10) per share for each share held at the record date. The Company
will have no obligation to honor any such requests received after
December 1, 2002. All such shares and fractional shares will be
canceled immediately after the effective date of the reverse split.
Those shareholders holding 103 or more shares of the Company's Common
stock on the record date will hold more than 1 share after the
reverse split. Any shareholder who would then own a fractional share
after aggregating all of the shares held by that shareholder, will
have that fractional share rounded up to one full share.
It is very important that your shares are represented and voted at
the meeting, whether or not you plan to attend. Accordingly, please
sign, date and return your proxy in the enclosed envelope at your
earliest convenience.
Your interest and participation in the affairs of the Company are
greatly appreciated. Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,

AMENDMENT OF THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
Proposal

The Company's Board of Directors has recommended and proposes that
the Company's Articles of Incorporation be amended to increase the
number of shares of Common Stock, $.10$0.10 par value, the Company is
authorized to issue from 17,000,000300,000,000 shares, as currently
authorized, to 300,000,000 shares. NO816,000,000 shares; to effect a reverse split of such
shares on the basis of 1 new share for each 102 shares currently

Corporation. No other provision of the Company's Articles of
Incorporation will be changed upon approval by the Company's
shareholders of the proposed amendment. Shareholders are also being
asked to approve the Nova Natural Resources Corporation 2001
Non-qualified stock option plan.
Background of the Proposed Amendment
____________________________________
During fiscal 1999, managementAmendments
On February 27, 2001, the Company closed a transaction pursuant
to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 9, 2001
(the "Agreement") with TORITA DONGHAO LLC ("Torita Delaware"), a
Delaware Corporation, by which Torita Delaware acquired control of
the Company.
Effective at Closing, all of Nova's officers and directors,
except Brian B. Spillane, resigned, as contemplated by the Agreement.
Edward T. S. Chan, CEO of Torita Delaware, thereupon was named
President, Treasurer and a Director of the Company. Mr. Spillane
resigned as President, but remains a Director of the Company, determinedand was
appointed its Secretary. In September, 2001, Mr. Han Zhende and Mr.
Chris Tse were appointed Directors of the Company, bringing the
number of Board Members to four.
Upon effectuation of the Agreement, Torita Electronic (Hong
Kong) Ltd. held 138,612,287 shares of the Registrant's $0.10 par
value common stock, 59.5% of the then-total common shares issued and
outstanding, and therefore became the controlling shareholder of the
Company. Affiliates of Torita Delaware controlled an additional 32%
of the then-issued and outstanding shares. The consideration used to
obtain such control was the acquisition by the Company of 100% of the
business and operating assets of Torita Delaware.
The Company acquired 100% of the business and operating assets
of Torita Delaware in exchange for 213,249,672 of its $0.10 par value
common shares. 2,971,752 shares and a cash consideration were paid
at the Closing to Focus Tech Investments, Inc., which acted as a
finder in the transaction. All shares issued at the Closing are
restricted.
In determining the amount of the consideration, the Company's
Board of Directors considered the Company's limited financial
resources prior to the transaction, the Company's inability to
attract industry partners to fund and operate the Company's principal
assets, the general economic conditions of the industries in which
the Company operated, and management's determination that the
Company could not operate profitably because of a lack of capital
from operations and other sources, an inability to attract
industry partners to fund and operate the Company's principal
assets, and the general economic conditions of the industries in
which the Company operated.sources.
Management determinedconcluded that the Company would be more valuable,
and the interests of its shareholders would be better served, by the
sale, reassignment, and abandonment of the Company's assets and
marketing of the Company as a "shell". In this fashion, management
believesbelieved that it maycould obtain for the Company's shareholders a
minority interest in a company with more substantial assets,
operations and prospects. In exchange, such a merger partner willwould
become a public company, and obtain liquidity for its shares.
During fiscal year 2000,shares, and gain
more ready access to capital markets. The Company's Directors
concluded that Torita Delaware met all of these criteria, based on
its assets, earnings, and growth prospects, particularly in the
geographical region in which it operates. As part of its due
diligence activities, the then- President of the Company, has disposed of virtually
all of its oil and gas properties and moved its offices to
smaller, less expensive quarters. The sale ofaccompanied

and met the ordinary course of its business,
which, over time, has included purchases and sales of such
interests and properties. Currently,personnel responsible for Torita Delaware's operations.
The Company also relied on the Finder to advise the Company owns small
interests in certain oil and gas leasesas to the
best terms obtainable for this type of transaction.
All of Nova's outstanding convertible preferred stock was
