ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
In addition to any rights of indemnification that may be granted to
directors and officers under the Nevada Business Corporation Code, as amended,
Company's Bylaws (the "Bylaws") grant Company broad powers to indemnify
directors and officers against liabilities that they may incur in such
capacities.
The Bylaws require the indemnification of an officer or director made
or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding because such person is or was
an officer or director of Company against certain liabilities and expenses if:
(i) the officer or director acted in good faith; (ii) the officer or director
reasonably believed the actions were in or not opposed to Company's best
interest; and (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the officer or
director had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. In
the case of any proceeding by or in the right of Company, an officer or director
is entitled to indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law if the
officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director
reasonably believed was in or not opposed to Company's best interest.
An officer or director is generally not entitled to indemnification:
(i) in connection with any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the
officer or director in which the officer or director is adjudged liable on the
basis that personal benefit was improperly received; or (ii) in connection with
any proceeding initiated by such person against Company, its directors,
officers, employees, or other agents.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(a) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3)
of the Act;
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement;
(c) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs A(1)(a) and A(1)(b) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section
13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated
by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of
an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act
may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the above-referenced provisions, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
-4-
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Act, as amended, the registrant

To the Board of Directors
Encompass Holdings, Inc.
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Nova Communications Ltd. ("Company") in
connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form
S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering 4,000,000 shares of
Company's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares"), to be issued
for compensation to advisors and consultants. We have reviewed the corporate
action of Company in connection with this matter and have examined and relied
upon such documents, corporate records, and other evidence as we have deemed
necessary for the purpose of this opinion.
Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares have been
duly authorized and, when issued and sold pursuant to the Agreement, legally
issued, fully paid, and non- assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ ROBERT C. LASKOWSKI
