Nature’s
Call Brands Inc.
SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK
3,000,000
MINIMUM - 30,000,000 MAXIMUM
Before
this Offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. In
the event that we sell at least the minimum number of shares in this Offering,
of which there is no assurance, we intend to have our shares of common stock
quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board operated by the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority. There is no assurance that our shares will ever be
quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.
We are offering 3,000,000 shares of common stock
minimum, 30,000,000 shares of common stock maximum in a direct public offering,
without any involvement of underwriters or broker/dealers. The offering price is
$0.010 per share. In the event that 3,000,000 shares are not sold
within 270 days, all money received by us will be promptly, returned to you with
interest and without deduction of any kind. The SEC staff generally
defines “promptly” as a period of up to three days. We will return
your funds to you in the form a cashier’s check sent Federal Express on the
271st day. If at least 3,000,000 shares are sold within 270 days, all
money received by us will be retained by us and there will be no refund. Funds
will be held in a separate bank account. Sold securities are deemed securities
which have been paid for with collected funds prior to expiration of 270 days.
Collected funds are deemed funds that have been paid by the drawee bank. The
foregoing account is not an escrow, trust or similar account. It is
merely a separate interest bearing savings account under our control where we
have segregated your funds. There is no escrow, trust or similar account in
which your subscription will be deposited. It will only be deposited in a
separate bank account under our name. Only our officers and directors will have
access to the account. You will not have the right to withdraw your funds during
the offering. You will only receive your funds back if we do not raise the
minimum amount of the offering within 270 days. As a result, if we are sued for
any reason and a judgment is rendered against us, your subscription could be
seized in a garnishment proceeding. If we file a voluntary bankruptcy petition
or our creditors file an involuntary bankruptcy petition, our assets will be
seized by the bankruptcy trustee, including your subscription, and used to pay
our creditors. If that happens, you will lose your investment, even if we fail
to raise the minimum amount in this offering. As a result, you may
lose your entire investment notwithstanding the purported minimum offering
provisions because the funds are not held in an escrow account and are
potentially subject to creditor claims.
There are no arrangements to place the funds in an
escrow, trust, or similar account.
An investment in our
common stock involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk Factors" starting on page
7.
Our
common stock will be sold on our behalf by Andrian Burenta, Pavel Krykov and
Inga Cebanu, our Directors. Our Directors will not receive any
commissions or proceeds from the offering for selling shares on our
behalf.

PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
The following summary highlights
selected information contained in this Prospectus. This summary does
not contain all the information that may be important to you. You
should read the more detailed information contained in this Prospectus,
including but not limited to, the risk factors beginning on
page 8. References to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Nature’s Call Brands”
or the “Company” mean Nature’s Call Brands Inc.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future,
intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You
should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our
actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us
described in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in this
Prospectus.
Our
Company
We were
formed on December 3, 2007. Our plan is to export and sell water
filtration systems manufactured in North America for residential and commercial
use to emerging markets of Russia and other Eastern European
countries.
We
generated $7,000 in revenues from sales of countertop reverse osmosis water treatment
systems, have incurred $15,359 in losses since our inception on
December 3, 2007, and have relied upon the sale of our securities in
unregistered private placement transactions and cash advances from our directors
to fund our operations. We are a development stage company and we do
not expect to generate revenue for the next 12 months which would be sufficient
to sustain our operations. Accordingly, for the foreseeable future,
we will continue to be dependent on additional financing in order to maintain
our operations and continue with our corporate activities. Due to the
uncertainty of our ability to meet our financial obligations and to pay our
liabilities as they become due, in their report on our financial statements for
the period from inception (December 3, 2007) to November 30, 2008, our
registered independent auditors included additional comments indicating concerns
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial
statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that
led to this disclosure by our registered independent auditors. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
This
Offering and any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of
risk. If we are unable to generate significant revenue, we may be
obliged to cease business operations due to lack of funds. We face
many challenges to continue operations, including our lack of operating history,
lack of revenues to date, and the losses we have incurred to
date. Please review the "Risk Factors" starting on page 8 of this
offering.
Our
Directors collectively own 100% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as
of the date of this Offering. If minimum amount of the shares will be
sold, our Directors will own 66.67% of our outstanding common
stock. Accordingly, they will have a significant influence in
determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters,
including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of
our assets. The interests of our directors may differ from the
interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that
are disadvantageous to other shareholders.
Our
principal executive offices are located, and our telephone number at that
address is 2625 Butterfield Rd. Ste. 138S, Oak Brook, IL, 60523, Phone: (630)
574-0226.

RISK
FACTORS
Please
consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common
stock.
This
Offering and any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of
risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all
of the information contained in this Prospectus before deciding whether to
purchase our common stock.
If any of
the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and
results of operations could be harmed. The trading price of our
common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment in
our common stock.
INDUSTRY RISK
FACTORS
We
are susceptible to general economic conditions, and a downturn in our industries
or a reduction in spending by consumers could adversely affect our operating
results.
The
household appliances industry in general has historically been characterized by
a high degree of volatility and subject to substantial cyclical
variations. Our operating results will be subject to fluctuations
based on general economic conditions, in particular conditions that impact
consumer spending and housing construction activity. A downturn in
construction, or housing sectors could be expected to directly and negatively
impact sales of our portfolio products in these sectors, which could cause a
decrease in revenue and harm our sales. Difficult economic conditions
could also increase the risk of extending credit to our distributors and
retailers. In the event we enter into a factoring relationship, a
customer’s financial problems would limit the amount of customer receivables
that we could assign to such factor on the receivables, and could cause us to
assume more credit risk relating to those assigned receivables or to curtail
business with that customer.
Our
international operations are subject to political, economic risks and foreign
currency fluctuations.
We expect
that most of our sales will be generated outside the United
States. We will be accordingly subject to a number of risks relating
to doing business internationally, any of which could significantly harm our
business, including:
•
|
political
and economic instability;
|
•
|
inflation;
|
•
|
exchange
controls and currency exchange
rates;
|
•
|
foreign
tax treaties and policies; and
|
•
|
restrictions
on the transfer of funds to and from foreign
countries.
|
Our
financial performance on a U.S. dollar denominated basis is also subject to
fluctuations in currency exchange rates. These fluctuations could
cause our results of operations to vary materially. From time to
time, we may enter into agreements seeking to reduce the effects of our exposure
to currency fluctuations, but these agreements may not be effective in reducing
our exposure to currency fluctuations or may not be available at a cost
effective price. We are not currently entered into any of these
agreements.
7
We operate in very competitive
markets and may be unable to compete effectively in the worldwide household
appliances industry.
Competition
in the household appliances retailing industry is intense. We face a
variety of competitive challenges from domestic and international retailers,
distributors, and manufacturers including a number of competitors that have
substantially greater financial and marketing resources than we
do. The principal competitive factors include quality and assortment
of products, products price, schedules and reliability of delivery, and the
range and quality of customer services. Due to limited financing, and
fierce competition from multinational wholesalers and retailers we may not be
able to generate revenues and will have to cease operations. In
addition, it is possible that mass-market discount retailers will increase their
investment and enclose water treatment products in their retail operations,
thereby achieving greater market penetration and placing additional competitive
pressures on our business.
Many of
our competitors are larger than we are and have substantially greater resources
than we have and, as a result, may be able to adapt more quickly to changing
market conditions and exploit new opportunities and supply their products more
quickly and effectively than us. Many of these wholesalers and
retailers have better name recognition among consumers and purchase
significantly more merchandise from vendors.
Our
dependence on independent manufacturers reduces our ability to control the
quality, price, and shipment of the products we re-sell, which could harm our
sales, reputation, and overall profitability.
We will
depend on independent manufacturers to maintain sufficient manufacturing and
shipping capacity in an environment characterized by declining prices, labor
shortages, continuing cost pressure and increased demands for product innovation
and speed-to-market. This dependence could subject us to difficulty
in obtaining timely delivery of products of acceptable quality. In
addition, a contractor’s failure to ship products to us in a timely manner or to
meet the required quality standards could cause us to miss the delivery date
requirements of our customers. The failure to make timely deliveries
may cause our customers to cancel orders, refuse to accept deliveries, impose
non-compliance charges through invoice deductions or other charge-backs, demand
reduced prices, or reduce future orders, any of which could harm our sales,
reputation, and overall profitability. We will depend on third
parties to transport and deliver the products we will re-sell. Due to
the fact that we do not have any independent transportation or delivery
capabilities of our own, if these third parties are unable to transport or
deliver our merchandise for any reason, or if they increase the price of their
services, including as a result of increases in the cost of fuel, our operations
and financial performance may be adversely affected.
We
currently do not have long-term agreements with any of our potential brand
manufacturers, and any of these manufacturers may unilaterally terminate their
relationship with us at any time in the future. There is also
substantial competition among wholesalers for quality brand
manufacturers. To the extent we are unable to secure or maintain
relationships with quality brand manufacturers, our business could be
harmed.
General economic
conditions, including difficult credit and residential and commercial
construction
markets, affect demand for our products.
We
will compete mostly in residential and commercial markets. The global
credit crisis and recession have adversely affected the robustness of these
markets. Important factors for our businesses include the overall
strength of the economy and our customers’ confidence in the economy; industrial
and governmental capital spending; the strength of the residential and
commercial real estate markets; unemployment rates; availability of consumer and
commercial financing for our customers and end-users; and interest
rates. New construction for residential housing and home improvement
activity fell dramatically in both 2008 and 2009, which will have a negative
effect on our revenue growth. We believe that weakness in this market
and the recent dramatic slowdown in residential and commercial markets will
likely negatively affect our revenues and future profit margins. Any
continuing weakness in these markets beyond 2009 will negatively affect our
sales and financial performance in future periods.
COMPANY RISK
FACTORS
We
lack an operating history and have losses which we expect to continue into the
future. There is no assurance our future operations will result in
profitable revenues. If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to
operate profitably, our business will fail.
8
We were
incorporated on December 3, 2007, have realized $7,000 in revenues, and incurred
$15,359 in losses since inception. We have very little operating
history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be
made. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur net operating
losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and generating
revenues, which may not be sufficient to cover our operating
costs. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating
significant revenues in the future. Failure to achieve a sustainable
sales level will cause us to go out of business.
We
are mainly dependent upon the funds to be raised in this offering to advance our
business, the proceeds of which may be insufficient to achieve adequate revenues
to remain in business and our business will fail.
We have
limited operations. We need the proceeds from this offering to pay
for inventory, marketing, professional fees, travel and general and
administrative expenditures. We may need additional funds to complete
further development of our business plan to achieve a sustainable sales level
where ongoing operations can be funded out of revenues. There is no
assurance that any additional financing will be available, or if available, on
terms that will be acceptable to us. If we are not able to obtain
needed financing, we may have to cease operations and investors will lose all of
their investment.
There
is substantial uncertainty as to whether we will continue
operations. If we discontinue operations, you could lose your
investment.
Our
registered independent auditors have discussed their uncertainty regarding our
business operations in their audit report dated October 20,
2009. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue
as an ongoing business for the next 12 months. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty
about our ability to continue in business. As such, we may have to
cease operations and you could lose your entire investment.
We
depend on key personnel.
Our future success will depend in part on
the continued service of key
personnel, particularly, Andrian Burenta
our President and Chief Executive
Officer, and Pavel Krykov, our Director. Our future
success will also depend on our ability to attract and retain key managers,
sales people, and others. We face intense competition for these
individuals from well-established multinational, national, and regional
wholesale and retail companies. We may not be able to attract
qualified new employees or retain existing employees, which may have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations and financial
condition.
Because
our Directors will own 66.67% of our outstanding common stock, if the minimum
amount of the offering will be sold, they could make and control corporate
decisions that may be disadvantageous to other minority
shareholders.
Our
Directors, Andrian Burenta, Pavel Krykov and Inga Cebanu, own 100% of the
outstanding shares of our common stock as of the date of this
Offering. If minimum amount of the shares will be sold, our Directors
will own 66.67% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, they
will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate
transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of
all or substantially all of our assets. They will also have the power
to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of our
directors may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus
result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other
shareholders.
We
do not intend to pay dividends and there will be less ways in which you can make
a gain on any investment in Nature’s Call Brands Inc.
We have
never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends
for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional
funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources
may likely prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not
intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in Nature’s Call Brands
will need to come through appreciation of the stock’s price.
Failure
to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our
business and operating results.
9
It may be
time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the
additional internal controls, processes, and reporting procedures required by
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial
reporting, internal auditing, and other finance staff in order to develop and
implement appropriate additional internal controls, processes, and reporting
procedures. If we are unable to comply with these requirements of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant
certifications that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires of publicly traded
companies.
If we
fail to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding internal control over financial reporting or to
remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we may identify,
such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements,
cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and
have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
Pursuant
to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and current SEC regulations, beginning
with our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal period ending November
30, 2009 , we will be required to prepare assessments regarding
internal controls over financial reporting and beginning with our annual report
on Form 10-K for our fiscal period ending November 30,
2010 ,
furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial
reporting. We have begun the process of documenting and testing our internal
control procedures in order to satisfy these requirements, which is likely to
result in increased general and administrative expenses and may shift management
time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.
While our management is expending significant resources in an effort to complete
this important project, there can be no assurance that we will be able to
achieve our objective on a timely basis. There also can be no assurance that our
auditors will be able to issue an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment
of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Failure
to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment or complete
our Section 404 certifications could have a material adverse effect on our stock
price.
In
addition, in connection with our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting, we may discover "material weaknesses"
in our internal controls as defined in standards established by the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB. A material weakness is a
significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results
in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The PCAOB
defines "significant deficiency" as a deficiency that results in more than a
remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more
than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
In the
event that a material weakness is identified, we will employ qualified personnel
and adopt and implement policies and procedures to address any material
weaknesses that we identify. However, the process of designing and implementing
effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to
anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory
environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of
internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a
public company. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take will
remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or that we will implement
and maintain adequate controls over our financial process and reporting in the
future. Any failure to complete our assessment of our internal control over
financial reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify
or to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their
implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our
reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial
statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of the
periodic management evaluations of our internal controls and, in the case of a
failure to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify, would
adversely affect the annual auditor attestation reports regarding the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that are required
under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Inadequate internal controls could
also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information,
which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common
stock.
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR
COMMON STOCK AND THIS OFFERING
There
is no public (trading) market for our common stock and there is no assurance
that the common stock will ever trade on a recognized exchange or dealers’
network; therefore, our investors may not be able to sell their
shares.
10
Our
common stock is not listed on any exchange or quoted on any similar quotation
service, and there is currently no public market for our common
stock. We have not taken any steps to enable our common stock to be
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and can provide no assurance that our common
stock will ever be quoted on any quotation service or that any market for our
common stock will ever develop. As a result, stockholders may be
unable to liquidate their investments, or may encounter considerable delay in
selling shares of our common stock. Neither we nor our selling
stockholders have engaged an underwriter for this Offering, and we cannot assure
you that any brokerage firm will act as a market maker of our
securities. A trading market may not develop in the future, and if
one does develop, it may not be sustained. If an
active trading market
does develop, the market price of
our common stock is likely to be highly
volatile due to, among other things, the nature of our
business and because we are a new public company with a limited
operating history. Further, even if a public
market develops, the volume of trading in
our common stock will presumably be limited and
likely be dominated by a few individual stockholders. The
limited volume, if any, will make the price of our common stock subject to
manipulation by one or more stockholders and will significantly limit the number
of shares that one can purchase or sell in a short period of
time. The market price of our common stock may also fluctuate
significantly in response to the following factors, most of which are beyond our
control:
-
|
variations
in our quarterly operating results;
|
-
|
changes
in general economic conditions and in the housing construction and
household appliance industry;
|
-
|
announcements
by us or our competitors of significant new contracts, acquisitions,
strategic partnerships or joint ventures, or capital
commitments;
|
-
|
loss
of a major customer, partner or joint venture participant;
and
|
-
|
the
addition or loss of key managerial and collaborative
personnel.
|
The
equity markets have, on occasion, experienced significant
price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for many
companies' securities and
that have often been unrelated to
the operating performance of these
companies. Any such fluctuations may adversely affect the market
price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating
performance. As a result, stockholders may be unable to sell their
shares, or may be forced to sell them at a loss.
You
could be diluted from our future issuance of capital stock and derivative
securities.
As of
December 17, 2009, we had 6,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding and no
shares of preferred stock outstanding. We are authorized to issue up
to 75,000,000 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred
stock. To the extent of such authorization, our
Board of Directors will have the ability,
without seeking stockholder approval, to issue additional shares of common stock
or preferred stock in
the future for such consideration as
the Board of Directors may
consider sufficient. The issuance of additional common
stock or preferred stock in the future may reduce your proportionate ownership
and voting power.
If
our common stock is accepted for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, the
application of the “Penny Stock” rules could adversely affect the market price
of our common shares and increase your transaction costs to sell those
shares. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule
3A51-1, which establishes the definition of a “Penny Stock,” for the purposes
relevant to us, as any equity security that has market price of less than $5.00
per share or within an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to
certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock,
unless exempt, Rule 15G-9 require:
-
|
that
a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny
stocks; and
|
-
|
the
broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the
transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to
be purchased.
|
In
order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker
or dealer must:
-
|
obtain
financial information and investment experience objectives of the person;
and
|
-
|
make
a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of
transactions in penny stocks.
|
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market,
which, in highlight form:
11
-
|
sets
forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination; and
|
-
|
that
the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the
investor prior to the transaction.
|
-
|
Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject
to the "penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for
investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market
value of our stock.
|
Volatility
in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation, thereby
diverting our resources that may have a material effect on our profitability and
results of operations.
We expect
the market for our common shares to be characterized by significant price
volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price
will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite
future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class
action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the
market price of its securities. We may in the future be the target of
similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial
costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention and
resources.
We
will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company, which could
affect our profitability and operating results.
The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the new rules subsequently implemented by the
Securities and Exchange Commissions, the NASDAQ National Market and the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board have imposed various new requirements on
public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance
practices. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our
legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more
time-consuming and costly. These costs could affect profitability and
our results of operations.
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
Prospectus contains forward-looking statements which involve assumptions and
describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally
identifiable by use of the words "may," "will," "should," "expect,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "intend" or "project" or the negative of
these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These
statements are expressed in good faith and based upon a reasonable basis when
made, but there can be no assurance that these expectations will be achieved or
accomplished.
Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other
things, (i) the potential markets for our products, our potential profitability
and cash flows, (ii) our
growth strategies, (iii) anticipated trends
in the water treatment systems industry, (iv)
our future financing plans and (v)
our anticipated needs for
working capital. This information may involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual
results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the future
results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by any
forward-looking statements. These statements may be found under
“Management's Plan of Operation" and "Description of Our Business and
Properties," as well as in this Prospectus generally. Actual events
or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the
risks outlined under "Risk Factors" and matters described in this Prospectus
generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no
assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this filing will in
fact occur. In addition to the information expressly required to be
included in this filing, we will provide such further
material information, if any, as may be necessary to make
the required statements, in light of the circumstances under which
they are made, not misleading.
Although forward-looking statements in
this Prospectus reflect the
good faith judgment of our management, forward-looking statements are
inherently subject to known and unknown
risks, business, economic and other risks
and uncertainties that may cause actual results to be materially
different from those discussed in these forward-looking
statements. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this
Prospectus. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking
statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after
the date of this Prospectus, other than as may be required by applicable law or
regulation. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the
various disclosures made by us in our Prospectus which attempt to advise
interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business,
financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. If one or
more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those
expected or projected. We will have little likelihood of long-term
success unless we are able to continue to raise capital from the sale of our
securities until, if ever, we generate positive cash flow from
operations.

$ | 20,083 | $ | 290,083 |
Total
offering expenses are approximately $9,917. Of the $30,000, the
amounts to be paid from the proceeds for expenses of the offering are: $3,600
for legal fees; $1,000 for filing fees; $4,500 for audit and accounting fees;
$800 for transfer agent fees; and $17 for registration fee.
If the
minimum amount of the shares is sold, we will use the proceeds to pay some of
our outstanding, as of August 31, 2009, liabilities of approximately $6,000,
which represent the following amounts: accounting fees of $3,000,
organization costs of $775, office rent of $225, and travel and promotion
expenses of $2,000. If the maximum amount of the shares is sold, we
will pay all of our outstanding liabilities as of August 31, 2009, totaling
$21,262 which represents current accounts payable and accrued liabilities of
$18,373 and the amounts owed to our director for expenses incurred on behalf of
the company in the amount of $2,889.
In the
future, in addition to equity financing, we may rely on loans from our Directors
and officers to continue our operations; however, there are no assurances that
our Directors will provide us with any additional funds. Currently,
we do not have any arrangements for additional financing. If we are
not able to obtain needed financing, we may have to cease
operations.
Determination
of Offering Price
The price
of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to
raise up to a total of $300,000 in this Offering. The offering price
bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other
criteria of value. Among the factors considered were:
|
·
|
our
cash requirements;
|
|
·
|
the
proceeds to be raised by the
offering;
|
|
·
|
our
lack of operating history; and
|
|
·
|
the
amount of capital to be contributed by purchasers in this Offering in
proportion to the amount of stock to be retained by our existing
shareholder.

13
Dilution
of the Price per Share
Dilution
represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book
value per share immediately after completion of this Offering. Net
tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total
liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. As of August 31,
2009, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was a deficit of
$(9,359) or approximately $(0.0016) per share based upon 6,000,000 shares
outstanding.
If
the maximum number of the shares is sold:
Upon
completion of this Offering, in the event all of the shares are sold, the net
tangible book value of the 36,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $280,724,
or approximately $0.0078 per share. The amount of dilution to the
shareholders acquiring shares in this offering will be $0.0022 per
share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing
shareholder will be increased by $0.0094 per share without any additional
investment on their part. The shareholders acquiring shares in this
Offering will incur an immediate dilution from $0.010 per share to $0.0078 per
share.
After
completion of this Offering, if 30,000,000 shares are sold, the shareholders
acquiring shares in this Offering will own approximately 83.33% of the total
number of shares then outstanding shares for which the shareholders acquiring
shares will have made cash investment of $300,000, or $0.010 per
share. Our existing shareholders will own approximately 16.67% of the
total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions
of cash of $6,000, or $0.001 per share.
If
the minimum number of the shares is sold:
Upon
completion of this Offering, in the event 3,000,000 shares are sold, the net
tangible book value of the 9,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $10,724 or
approximately $ 0.0012 per share. The amount of dilution to the
shareholders acquiring shares in this offering will be $ 0.0088 per
share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing
stockholders will be increased by $0.0028 per share without any additional
investment on their part. The shareholders acquiring shares in this
offering will incur an immediate dilution from $0.010 per share to $ 0.0012 per
share.
After
completion of this Offering, if 3,000,000 shares are sold, the shareholders
acquiring shares in this Offering will own approximately 33.33% of the total
number of shares then outstanding for which the shareholders acquiring shares
have made cash investment of $30,000, or $0.010 per share. Our
existing shareholders will own approximately 66.67% of the total number of
shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash,
totaling $6,000, or $0.001 per share.

Plan
of Distribution; Terms of the Offering
We are offering 3,000,000
shares of common stock minimum, 30,000,000 shares of common stock maximum in a
direct public offering, without any involvement of underwriters or
broker/dealers. The offering price is $0.010 per share. In the event
that 3,000,000 shares are not sold within 270 days, all money received by us
will be promptly, returned to you with interest and without deduction of any
kind. The SEC staff generally defines “promptly” as a period of up to
three days. We will return your funds to you in the form a cashier’s
check sent Federal Express on the 271st day. If at least 3,000,000
shares are sold within 270 days, all money received by us will be retained by us
and there will be no refund. Funds will be held in a separate bank account. Sold
securities are deemed securities which have been paid for with collected funds
prior to expiration of 270 days. Collected funds are deemed funds that have been
paid by the drawee bank. The foregoing account is not an escrow, trust or
similar account. It is merely a separate interest bearing savings
account under our control where we have segregated your funds. There is no
escrow, trust or similar account in which your subscription will be deposited.
It will only be deposited in a separate bank account under our name. Only our
officers and directors will have access to the account. You will not have the
right to withdraw your funds during the offering. You will only receive your
funds back if we do not raise the minimum amount of the offering within 270
days. As a result, if we are sued for any reason and a judgment is rendered
against us, your subscription could be seized in a garnishment proceeding. If we
file a voluntary bankruptcy petition or our creditors file an involuntary
bankruptcy petition, our assets will be seized by the bankruptcy trustee,
including your subscription, and used to pay our creditors. If that happens, you
will lose your investment, even if we fail to raise the minimum amount in this
offering. As a result, you may lose your entire investment
notwithstanding the purported minimum offering provisions because the funds are
not held in an escrow account and are potentially subject to creditor
claims.
There
are no finders involved in our distribution. Officers, directors,
affiliates or anyone involved in marketing our shares will not be allowed to
purchase shares in the Offering. You will not have the right to withdraw
your funds during the Offering. You will only have the right to have your
funds returned if we do not raise the minimum amount of the Offering or
if there is a material change in the terms of the Offering. The following
are material changes that would entitle you to a refund of your
money:
|
-
|
a
change in the offering price;
|
|
-
|
a
change in the minimum sales
requirement;
|
|
-
|
a
change in the amount of proceeds necessary to release the funds held in
the separate bank account;
|
|
-
|
a
change to allow sales to affiliates in order to meet the minimum sales
requirement; and
|
|
-
|
an
extension of the offering period beyond 270
days.
|
15
If any of
the above material changes occur, a new offering may be made by means of a
post-effective amendment. We will sell the shares in this Offering through
our Directors, Andrian Burenta, Pavel Krykov, and Inga Cebanu. They
will receive no commission from the sale of any shares. They will not
register as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act in reliance
upon Rule 3a4-1. Rule 3a4-1 sets forth those conditions under which a
person associated with an issuer may participate in the offering of the issuer's
securities and not be deemed to be a broker-dealer. The conditions
are that:
1.
|
The
person is not statutorily disqualified, as that term is defined in Section
3(a)(39) of the Act, at the time of his participation;
and,
|
2.
|
The
person is not compensated in connection with her participation by the
payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or
indirectly on transactions in
securities;
|
3.
|
The
person is not at the time of their participation, an associated person of
a broker-dealer; and,
|
4.
|
The
person meets the conditions of Paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the
Securities Exchange Act 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in that she
(A) primarily performs, or is intended primarily to perform at the end of
the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the issuer otherwise
than in connection with transactions in securities; and (B) is not a
broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within
the preceding 12 months; and (C) does not participate in selling and
offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other
than in reliance on Paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or
(a)(4)(iii).
|
Our
Directors and officers are not statutorily disqualified, are not being
compensated, and are not associated with a broker-dealer. They are
and will continue to be our officers and Directors at the end of the Offering
and have not been during the last 12 months and are currently not broker-dealers
or associated with a broker-dealer. They have not during the last
twelve months and will not in the next 12 months offer or sell securities for
another corporation.
Only
after our Prospectus is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”), we intend to distribute this Prospectus to
potential investors at meetings and to our friends, business associates and
relatives who are interested in us and a possible investment in the
Offering. We will not utilize the Internet to advertise our
Offering.
Section
15(g) of the Exchange Act
Our
shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 15g-1 through
15g-6 promulgated thereunder. They impose additional sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with
assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of
$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $160,000 or $300,000 jointly with their
spouses).
Rule
15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny
stock rules.
Rule
15g-2 declares unlawful broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the
broker-dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure
document.
Rule
15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker-dealer to engage in a penny
stock transaction unless the broker-dealer first discloses and subsequently
confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information
concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule
15g-4 prohibits broker-dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a
customer unless the broker-dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of
compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock
transaction.
Rule
15g-5 requires that a broker-dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other
than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or
prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons
compensation.
Rule
15g-6 requires broker-dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers
with monthly account statements.
16
Rule
15g-9 requires broker-dealers to approved the transaction for the customer's
account; obtain a written agreement from the customer setting forth the identity
and quantity of the stock being purchased; obtain from the customer information
regarding his investment experience; make a determination that the investment is
suitable for the investor; deliver to the customer a written statement for the
basis for the suitability determination; notify the customer of his rights and
remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the NASD’s toll
free telephone number and the central number of the North American
Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of
broker-dealers and their associated persons.
The
application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your
shares.

Management’s
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
We are a
start-up stage corporation with limited operations and limited revenues from our
business operations. Our registered independent auditors have issued
a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there
is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next
12 months. We do not anticipate that we will generate significant
revenues until we have established our wholesale operations and developed
distribution channels with sales sufficient to generate a healthy profit
margin. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than
operations.
To meet
our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this
offering. If we raise the minimum amount through this offering, we
will be able to continue operations and remain in business for 12
months. If we are unable to generate revenues after the 12 months for
any reason, or if we are unable to make a reasonable profit after 12 months, we
may have to cease operations. At the present time, we have not made
any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this
offering.
If we
need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend
operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations
entirely. If we raise the minimum amount of money from this offering,
it will last for 12 months but with limited funds available to build and grow
our business. If we raise the maximum amount, we believe we can
achieve profitable operations, however, we cannot guarantee that proceeds from
this offering will be sufficient for us to continue as going
concern. If we raise less than the maximum amount and we need more
money, we will have to revert to obtaining additional money through a second
public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans. Other
than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing
plans.
Limited
Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is
limited historical financial information about us upon which to base an
evaluation of our performance. We are in the start-up stage of
operations and have generated minimal revenues. We cannot guarantee
that we will be successful in our business operations. Our business
is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise,
including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns, such as
increases in inventory, shipping, and marketing costs, increases in
administration expenditures associated with daily operations, increases in
accounting and audit fees, increases in legal fees related to filings and
regulatory compliance and increases in travel expenditures.
17
To become
profitable and competitive, we have to successfully promote and increase sales
and distribution of our products. We anticipate relying on equity
sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business
operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to
our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve
any of additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other
financing for to fund our planned business activities. We may also
rely on loans from our Directors; however, there are no assurances that our
Directors will provide us with any additional funds.
Currently,
we do not have any arrangements for additional financing. We have no
assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable
terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be
unable to continue, develop, or expand our operations. Equity
financing could result in additional dilution to existing
shareholders.
Results

accounting. We also retained an attorney in relation to this
Registration Statement, and an auditor to audit our financial
statements. We have
generated $7,000 in revenues from sales of countertop reverse osmosis water treatment systems
and incurred $15,359 in losses since inception. As of
August 31, 2009, we incurred $17,059 in operating costs including $7,500 for
accounting and audit fees; $2,700 for consulting, $1,528 for general and
administrative expenses; $775 for organization costs; $226 for rent; $488 for
legal fees; and $3,842 for travel and promotion.
We have reserved the domain name
www.naturecallbrands.com in anticipation of future expansion to include other
brands in our brand development portfolio. We have not developed our
website as of the date of this Prospectus and included website development in
our five-year long-term plan of
operations.
Since
inception, we have sold 6,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 per share to
our Directors for total proceeds of $6,000.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
August 31, 2009, our total assets consisted of cash of $11,903 (November 30,
2008 - $283) and our total liabilities were $21,262 (November 30, 2008 - $9,046)
for a total working capital deficit of $9,359 (November 30, 2008 –
$8,763). During the period ended August 31, 2009, a Director of the
Company provided $2,889 to the Company in cash advances for operating
capital.
We expect
to incur substantial losses over the next two years. As of August 31,
2009, we had cash of $11,903, and we believe that we need approximately an
additional $30,000 to meet our working capital requirements over the next 12
months. Our intention is to obtain this money through this
offering.

Water Treatment Technology
Overview
Residential and Commercial
Water Treatment Technologies
The
water treatment systems are classified based on technology and location of the
system at users’ premises. There are several types of residential and commercial
water treatment technologies available on the market today. The most
common technologies are listed below, along with a brief description of
each:
|
-
|
Filtration. This
is the physical process that occurs when liquids, gases, dissolved or
suspended matter adhere to the surface of, or in the pores of, an
adsorbent medium. Carbon filters use this technology to filter
water.
|
|
-
|
Reverse
Osmosis. A process that reverses, by the application of
pressure, the flow of water in a natural process of osmosis so that water
passes from a more concentrated solution to a more dilute solution through
a semi-permeable membrane. Most reverse osmosis systems
incorporate pre- and post-filters along with the membrane
itself.
|
|
-
|
Ultraviolet
Treatment. This treatment style uses ultraviolet light
to disinfect water or to reduce the amount of heterotrophic bacteria
present in the water.
|
|
-
|
Water
Softening. Water softening devices use a cation exchange
resin, regenerated with sodium chloride or potassium chloride, to reduce
the amount of hardness (calcium, magnesium) in the water. The
hardness ions in the water are replaced with sodium or potassium
ions.
|
How it
works
Filtration
There are
several types of filters can be used in water treatment process:
Activated
Carbon filters
Activated
Carbon (also known as Activated Charcoal or simply AC) filters are used for the
removal of color, odor, and taste from drinking water. AC has a
unique property called adsorption that allows it to remove organic contaminants
and chlorine from water just like a sponge. AC is extremely porous
with an exceptionally large surface area, which gives it high absorptive
capacity. AC normally exists as a carbon block (CB), granular (GAC)
or powder form (PAC).
City
water supply usually contains chlorine for disinfection. However,
chlorine makes water aesthetically unpleasant for drinking. In
addition, trace organic compounds like Trihalomethanes (THM) may be present in
water. The use of AC filters removes these contaminants and improves
water quality. Although they are very effective for the removal of
odor and taste, AC filters do not remove particulate, dissolved salts, hardness,
or bacteria. AC filters should be used in conjunction with a sediment
filter or filters which incorporate fine filtration and AC
together.
Sediment
Cartridge Filters
Sediments
are small particles that are carried by water flow and eventually deposit in
stagnant water. Sediment filters are the simplest type of filters
that remove sediments from water. In a sense, sediment filters can be
thought of as small “water strainers,” where the smaller the pore size of the
filter medium, the higher the purification level. Because pore sizes
are very small, they are usually sized in microns (micrometers). One
micron is equivalent to one millionth of a meter. To put this figure
in perspective, human hair is typically 75 microns in size and the human eye can
see particles down to 40 microns.
Sediment
filter media are classified into “nominal” and “absolute”
ratings. Sediment filters are made of a variety of materials
including polypropylene, cotton, and glass fibers. Sediment filters
are typically used as pre-filters to a finer filtration system, such as a
Reverse Osmosis system, although they can be used
independently. Unlike activated carbon filters, sediment filters do
not remove chlorine, odor, or taste from water. For typical
residential filtration, a 5-micron absolute sediment filter is sufficient to
achieve adequate sediment removal. If microbial contamination is
suspected in water, it is essential to use at least a “1-micron absolute” rated
filter.
19
New
filtration technologies combine sediment and activated carbon filtration in one
unit to remove sediment as well as odor, taste and chlorine from
water. Depending on water quality and usage, sediment filters need to
be replaced frequently.
Reverse
Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a process of
sending pressurized water through a membrane, which allows some of the water to
diffuse through as permeate, or product water. Although some of the
water passes through the porous membrane, the membrane prevents solids from
passing through it, producing two water streams, a product stream and a waste
stream. By separating the water, the RO process reduces total
dissolved solids from the drinking or process water, including most unwanted
contaminants and chemicals that can affect many food and non-food related
applications. Reverse Osmosis is considered to be one of the best filtration
technology available and is used in both industrial and residential water
filtration.
In Reverse Osmosis, filtration pressure
is applied to the concentrated solution in order to force water through a
custom-designed semi-permeable membrane. Salts, organic compounds,
and microorganisms are retained while pure water is filtered out. The
spent concentrated solution – called reject – is drained out. In
typical residential water filtration systems, RO is used in combination with
sediment and carbon filtration. This pre-filtration step is necessary
in order to remove silt, sand, chlorine and other chemicals that may shorten the
life of the RO membrane. Water is then pressurized and passed through
the RO membrane to produce clean water. Some systems add a secondary
carbon filter to remove any trace chemicals and a UV lamp to kill any
microorganisms that might escape filtration by the RO unit. RO units
are conveniently small, operate quietly, and can fit under the kitchen
sink. They do not require frequent maintenance except for replacement
of sediment and carbon cartridge filters. RO membranes are efficient
and typically last several years before they require
replacement.
Ultraviolet (UV)
Treatment
Ultraviolet
(UV) light is electromagnetic radiation at the invisible end of the light
spectrum that has short wavelength and high energy. The sun emits UV
light but most of it is absorbed by the Ozone layer in the
atmosphere. Direct exposure to UV radiation can have detrimental
health effects as it affects the DNA structure of cells. However,
this energy can be utilized in water disinfection. UV water
disinfection lamps emit radiation at a certain wavelength that has germicidal
properties.
Radiation
is absorbed by microorganisms present in the water, causing the disruption of
their DNA structure. As a result, they become sterile and no longer
reproduce. Although they are not physically removed from water, they
are considered dead and not a health risk anymore. UV radiation is
effective for the control of bacteria, viruses, mold, algae, yeasts, and other
disease-causing organisms. UV neither adds nor removes any chemicals
or particulates from the water. Hence, it does not remove sediment,
chlorine, or odor if present. Energy consumption of UV lamps is
insignificant, making the technology affordable for microbial
control. Prior to UV sterilization, pre-filtration with sediment or
activated carbon filters is normally used to remove sediments, particulates and
color that may affect the transmission of UV radiation and sterilization
efficiency. UV treatment systems are available in varying capacities
from residential units to large waterworks plants, and are used as the final
step before the point of use.
Water
Softening
Water
softening is used to remove hardness from water. “Hardness” refers to
mineral ions like calcium and magnesium that have the potential to form scale
over time. This occurs due to the deposition of these
ions. Scale is quite unpleasant as it plugs piping over time, forms
scum with soap and reduces soap’s ability to lather. In regions where
water is naturally “hard,” softening becomes necessary.
A water
softener is a unit that removes hardness from water by simply replacing the
calcium and magnesium with sodium ions. Sodium ions are much more
soluble, and hence they do not form scale. The softener holds a bed
of small resins that contain sodium ions on its surface. When hard
water is fed to it, sodium replaces calcium and magnesium until all the resins
are exhausted. At this point sodium needs to be regenerated
again. Sodium chloride (table salt) is added to the softener at every
regeneration cycle to form strong brine that reverses the ion exchange process
and regenerates the resin bed with sodium again. Calcium and
magnesium are expelled to the brine, which is flushed down the
drain. The cycle is repeated automatically to remove hardness from
another batch of hard water.
20
Water Treatment Systems
Location
The water treatment systems are classified based on
technology and location of the system at users’ premises. Water filtration
systems, reverse osmosis systems, ultraviolet treatment systems and water
softening systems can be used as Point of Entry (POE) systems or Point-of-Use
(POU) systems. The most common modifications of the systems based on
the household location of the system are listed below, along with a brief
description of each.
Point-of-Entry (POE)
System
These
systems typically treat most of the water entering a
residence. Point-of-entry systems, or whole-house systems, are
usually installed after the water meter. (Water meters are usually
located in the basement of a house. In warm weather climates, the
water meter may be in the garage or outside of the house.) A water
softener is an example of a POE system.
Point-of-Use (POU)
System
These systems typically treat water in batches and
deliver water to a single tap, such as a kitchen sink faucet or an auxiliary
faucet mounted next to the kitchen sink. The following table contains
a brief explanation of different POU systems, which is ordered from
easiest installation/operation to more difficult or complex
installation/operation.
System
Type
|
Description
|
|
Pour
Through
|
In
pour-through products, gravity causes water to drip through a pitcher,
which is usually stored in the refrigerator. They typically
have a lower capacity (i.e. can filter fewer gallons) than other types of
systems.
|
|
Faucet
Mount
|
This
type of filter is mounted on an existing kitchen sink faucet (usually
replacing the aerator or installed immediately before the
aerator). A diverter is usually used to direct water through
the system when treated drinking water is desired.
|
|
Counter-Top
Manual Fill
|
This
system is usually placed on a counter and filled by pouring water into the
system and activating it for a batch of water. (A manual fill
distiller is usually considered to be a Counter-Top Manual
Fill.)
|
|
Counter-Top
Connected to Sink Faucet
|
This
product is usually placed on a counter and connected by tubing to an
existing kitchen sink faucet. The treated water dispenses out
of a return tube from the kitchen faucet, or the treated water is
dispensed from a spout on the system.
|
|
Plumbed-In
|
This
type of system is usually installed under the sink and requires a
permanent connection to an existing water pipe. The filtered
water is dispensed through the existing sink faucet.
|
|
Plumbed-In
to Separate Tap
|
This product installs in the same manner as
plumbed-in systems (above). However, the filter water is
dispensed through an auxiliary faucet mounted next to the kitchen
sink.
|
Nature’s
Call Brands will concentrate on sale and distribution of the above-described
systems excluding “Pour Through” and “Counter-Top Manual Fill”
products.
Market
overview
General
Drinking water quality at the residential level is a
sensitive issue. As the world’s population continues to grow, the
associated use of chemical products and waste generation rises
accordingly. As a result, an increasing variety of
contaminants is regularly being released into water sources, eventually making
their way into the drinking water supply. While substances such as
arsenic, lead, perchlorate, and certain disinfection byproducts such as
trihalomethane have been identified to pose adverse impact on human health, the
potential effects of many new and emerging contaminants still remain
unknown.
21
Although drinking water quality is monitored to
ensure the required quality standard is met, there is a public concern with
contaminant leach from water distribution systems. Fearing that drinking water
quality may potentially be compromised when it reaches residential end users’
homes, many homeowners are taking precautionary measures by treating water
supply in the home with either point-of-use (“POU”) or point-of-entry (“POE”)
water treatment products as added reassurance. This is opening up
opportunities for the POU/POE water treatment market.
In the
past, limited options were available to residential end users who wished to
purchase or install home water purification systems. One of the
available residential water treatment systems is POE water softening. Water
softening, however, is ineffective against organic or biological
contamination. To ensure household safety, health conscious consumers
often splurge on bottled water or another POU device, such as water distillers,
faucet-mount filters, or pitcher filters to "purify" drinking
water. Evidently, each of these products has its pros and cons.
Distillation, for instance, provides the purest form of water by mimicking
Mother Nature’s way of water purification through the hydrologic
cycle. However, electrical distillation units are energy intensive
and do not provide a continuous supply of treated water. Other
devices such as faucet-mount and pitcher filters only remove residual
chlorine.
The
market landscape, however, has shifted since the introduction of membrane water
treatment products in the home. At present, there are numerous POU
and POE water treatment product supplier competing in residential water
treatment market, each trying to gain a
foothold in this market space, but amongst the various residential water
treatment products, membrane products are displaying probably promising
potential .
Reverse osmosis systems effectively purify water by
removing microorganisms present in water. It is also reducing the
concentration of total dissolved solids (“TDS”) and many other impurities such
as a variety of ions and metals found in water.
The
introduction of a new generation residential membrane water treatment product
for point-of-entry installation has provided the solution for low recovery
rates. Instead of filtering water at specific faucets, the POE
membrane filtration unit provides the added benefit of filtering incoming water
for use throughout the entire household. One of such product of its kind has recently been
introduced into the residential water treatment market by a membrane supplier
Zenon Environmental (“Zenon”). Current developments in the membrane
industry enabled manufacturers of residential membrane water treatment products
to apply ultra-filtration technology - traditionally used for municipal and
industrial applications – for smaller scale residential
use. The benefit of the whole-house ultra-filtration unit is
its ability to remove of bacteria and viruses that may be present in incoming
water. This creates an
advantage over traditional media and carbon filters, which are capable of
removing unwanted particles such as chlorine and sediments, but not biological
contaminants.
Demand for consumer water purification systems is
driven by consumer concerns about the quality of the water in the home, and
awareness of the healthful benefits of these systems. Existing owners
of purification systems are continuing to upgrade to higher value versions with
specialty features. The addition of specialty features, such as the
use of multiple technologies on a single unit, will also affect the demand in
value terms. The aftermarket plays an important role in the industry
with sales of replacement filters and membranes.
In general, sales of POU water systems benefit from
factors such as lower initial costs, a wider range of available purification
technologies, more user-friendly operation
and, in most cases, do-it-yourself installation.
Target Market
Overview
The major factors affecting demand for water
treatment solutions and equipment in Russia are decentralization and
privatization of water facilities, developing legislation and improving
implementation of it, state of the water infrastructure, financing programs, as
well as growing awareness of environmental issues. These factors are
making the market attractive for foreign companies and there are opportunities
for them in the Russian water sector.
The quality of water coming from the pipes is
questionable, not only for drinking but even for other household purposes. Since
the communal drinking water supply systems are practically state-owned and
management styles are often outdated, financial resources for modernization are
often insufficient. Recent reforms to attract private management into
the industry may in the long-term lead to opportunities for U.S. suppliers of
water treatment equipment and technologies in the communal utilities
sector. However, opportunities for smaller companies supplying water
preparation, purification and sanitation equipment and supplies currently exist
in a smaller segment outside the large utilities industry, such as food
processing, medical and pharmaceutical, and others. Also
opportunities exist for water treatment equipment used in the commercial,
residential, and construction sectors.
22
Russia’s retail trade goes hand in hand with its
consumer income and expenditures. With the middle class growing in Russia, there
is a demand for a healthier lifestyle and it is a common practice in Russian
households to buy different types of water purification systems
nowadays. These purchases are not considered a luxury, but a
necessity.
Competition
Large number of U.S. water treatment manufacturers
supply Russian market with high-tech equipment based on technologies such as
membrane filtration, and automation of water treatment
processes. Other
suppliers of the Russian water treatment market are companies from
Germany, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, U.K., Italy, France, Sweden, Israel, Czech
Republic, Switzerland, and Turkey.
Many
European companies are penetrating the Russian market by participating in major
local environmental trade shows and industry-specific conferences for which they
usually receive financial support from their respective
governments. It has become common practice for European manufactures
to register subsidiary companies in Russia. These subsidiaries are
involved in commercial activities and can oversee the local business operation
directly, have access to key government decision-makers, participate in local
projects, and establish better control over distributors and
agents. Some foreign, mostly European, companies began to manufacture
in Russia either through opening their own facilities and entering into joint
venture agreements with local firms or licensing to local
manufacturers.
A number of foreign companies whose
products are designed for use in private industrial plants and commercial and
residential property construction are represented in Russia through
distributors. There are number of North American companies that
already established themselves on the local market, e.g. Pentair, Inc. (USA),
Kinetico Inc. (USA), Pure Aqua (USA), and Danamark Water Care Ltd.
(Canada):

Natures
Call Brands is a wholesaler/distributor of water treatment solutions
manufactured in North America for residential and commercial market in
Russia. We plan to develop a business strategy that will allow us to
position ourselves as a supplier of residential and commercial water
treatment/purification systems of higher quality directly from American
manufacturers. We are focused on selling water filtration and reverse
osmosis systems that have a good reputation in the industry and have been tested
and certified in North America.
We plan
to position ourselves in a medium to higher price category with strong emphasis
on quality and higher perceived value of “Made in America” brands. We
want to distinguish ourselves from similar products manufactured locally and in
Asia.
We plan
to utilize our directors’ knowledge and experience in the industry and develop a

Plan of
Operations
Short term plan ( twelve
months)
The two key elements of our short term plan are to
create our initial portfolio of water treatment systems we want to sell to the
Russian market and test sales performance of these products. Our plan of
operation for the next twelve months will focus on these key elements and on
establishing our company’s structure and logistics. We plan to achieve the
targeted goals by completing the following stages of our plan of
operations:
Phase I – Creating Portfolio
of Water Treatment Systems
Initially, we intend to concentrate on two main types
of water treatment systems based on technology used for water purification when
determining our portfolio of products we wish to carry, such as reverse osmosis
systems and water filtration systems:
Reverse Osmosis Systems for residential and
light commercial customers.
|
The Reverse Osmosis Process is the removal of
undesirable water contaminants by forcing untreated water through a
semi-permeable membrane. We intent to test and make our selection
based on the customers’ feedback the following Point-of-Use types of reverse
osmosis systems based on location:
24
|
-
|
Plumbed-In to Separate Tap
Under-Sink Reverse Osmosis
Systems. With 4-Stages, 5-Stages and 6-Stage and UV Light and
Booster Pump Reverse Osmosis Systems under-sink models offer quality water
with the convenience of an under-sink filter. This system is
very convenient for any
household.
|
|
-
|
Countertop Connected to Sink
Faucet Reverse Osmosis
System. Countertop RO units use the same membranes and
filters as larger under-sink units and produce water of the same
quality. “Countertop” means more than that the unit sits on the
kitchen cabinet. It refers to a style of reverse osmosis unit
that produces directly into a container and does not have the pressurized
storage tank used on “under-sink” reverse osmosis units. This
allows for the omission of several standard under-sink reverse osmosis
parts, like automatic shutoff systems and check valves. The
design of this system is simpler and the unit is less
expensive.
|
Countertop reverse osmosis systems are cost effective
solution for water purification. Customers can get more water for
their money than with under-sink reverse osmosis systems because with countertop
units the storage tank, the ledge faucet, and several small internal parts are
not needed. Water quality with countertops is the same as with
under-sink units, however due to the simplicity in their design; they are much
more cost effective than under-sink units.
2)
|
Filtration
Systems
|
We intend to offer “Plumbed In” under-sink water
filtration systems with the sanitary quick-change cartridge design that makes
cartridge changes very simple and quick. Under-sink water filtration
systems eliminate the impurities of tap water. We intent to carry
under-sink water filtration systems with two types of water filter housing:
double housing and triple housing for best protection. Each housing
adds a filtration stage to the system. The following combination of
filter cartridges is usually used in under-sink water filters depending on the
individual manufacturers:
-Carbon
cartridge - removes toxicity, taste, and odors;
- 0.5
micron micro-filtration cartridge - for reduction of bacteria like e-coli,
cyst, taste and odor
-
Sediment removal cartridge - removes sediments in tap water
- Super
carbosyl cartridge - reduces iron, heavy metals, taste, and odor.
These
under-sink water filter system are conveniently installed under the kitchen sink
and are only used as needed. No drain line is necessary and they
usually come with an installation kit and instructions.
We plan
to create our portfolio of these products by sourcing them through industry
trade shows, directly contacting North American manufacturers, and searching
through industry publications, ads, and referrals. Initially we want
to select up to ten different water filtration systems that in our opinion will
be most suitable for our targeted consumer.
We intend to fulfill Phase I of our plan through the
following stages:
|
a)
|
We will buy selected reverse osmosis systems
and water filtration systems directly from North American manufacturers
and distributors in smaller/trial quantities and start testing them in the
most populated cities in Russia. We have already bought several
countertop and under-sink reverse osmosis systems from APEC Water Systems,
a California based manufacturer, and shipped and installed these systems
in two major cities in Russia, Moscow and Novosibirsk. In
addition to APEC’s reverse osmosis systems, we are going to test the
countertop water enhancement system from Sun Water Systems, a Texas based
manufacturer. We have bought two sample packages from Sun Water
Systems each containing 1 AQ-4000 Drinking Water Enhancement System, 1
AQ-4100 Pure Shower System, 1 PSB-3 Purity Sports Bottle, and marketing
materials. The samples were sent to our partners (Sibtechmontaz
in Novosibirsk and KMZ in Moscow) in Russia for further evaluation. We
have not entered into any written agreements with Sibtechmontaz, KMZ or
any other company, and, at this point, use their services only for water
treatment systems testing. We may choose other companies in the future for
system evaluation and installation based on specialization and
geographical location.
|
|
b)
|
We will monitor the satisfaction level with the
systems we have supplied in order to determine which models are performing
the best and are better suited for local water parameters. We
will collect feedback from the distributors and installers and analyze the
potential of each individual system and potential target consumer for each
tested model.
|
25
We plan to complete the Phase I of our plan within
five months from the date of this Prospectus. We expect to spend approximately
$10,000 on the Phase I of our plan.
Phase II -
Certification
Once the
market is tested and product lines are determined, we plan to obtain necessary
certifications on the systems required by Russian regulatory
authorities. Goods exported to Russia are subject to one or a
combination of mandatory certification systems, which includes GOST R
Certificate of Conformity. The water filtration systems are included
in the list of products which are subject to mandatory COST R certification
under the category “Equipment
for purification of wastewater, drink water, including
household.”
GOST R Certificate of
Conformity
The GOST
R Certificate of Conformity is the most common and permissive document in Russia
testifying that the product meets necessary safety
standards. Original or certified copy of the Certificate of
Conformity is required for customs clearance at the Russian border as well as
for sale and / or marketing within the country. The certified product
should be marked by the registered GOST R sign (so called Mark of Conformity),
which clearly demonstrates product compliance to the applicable Russian
standards.
Depending
on the annual export volume, there are different types of Certificates of
Conformity determining the evaluation procedure:
|
1.
|
Single shipment
certificates. The “Consignment Certificate of
Conformity” is a trade document valid for one consignment only, i.e. for a
certain quantity and type of product. This kind of certificate
is advisable if a company export to Russia
sporadically.
|
|
2.
|
Certificates for serial
production. The “Serial Production Certificate of
Conformity” is a trade document whose validity can vary from 12 months to
3 years depending on the nature of the products. Such a
document enables a company to export unlimited times and quantities of
heterogeneous goods produced during the certificate validity
period. This type of GOST R certificate is especially suitable
for the company with regular export activities and a wide product
range. To ensure the compliance of products to Russian
standards after the certificate has been issued, an annual inspection by
accredited Certification Body is
necessary.
|
We will
verify with our prospective suppliers if they have the GOST R certificates for
the equipment they manufacture. There is a chance that some systems,
or some parts of the systems, e.g. filter cartridges, have been certified for
sale/manufacturing in Russia. If the certification will be necessary,
we plan to hire consultants specializing in GOST R
certification. There are a number of companies in North America that
offer these services. Due to the start up nature of our business, we
do not expect large trading volumes and will be seeking certification for each
shipment. There is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain all
necessary certifications. Therefore, we may have to cease our
overseas operations and investors will lose all of their
investment.
We expect to complete the Phase II of our plan within
four months following the completion of the Phase I. We expect to spend
approximately $5,000 on the Phase II of our plan.
Phase III – Workforce and
Logistics
Once we finalize our product portfolio and determine
import requirements to Russia we plan to find and establish our relationship
with a freight forwarding company. We will be looking for an established
international freight forwarding operator which has its own division in the USA.
Our search will concentrate on the shipper’s ability to provide the following
services:
|
·
|
Speedy customs clearance at point of
entry.
|
|
·
|
Low freight rates and Russia handling charges
at destination.
|
|
·
|
Seamless door to door service from pick up at
shipment point through to delivery to Russian client's
premises.
|
|
·
|
Accurate customs entry work, avoiding
prohibitive duty rates.
|
26
|
·
|
Consultancy on all customs related matters ie.
import licensing regulations, quota requirements, duty drawback,
transhipments etc.
|
In addition we will be looking for a shipper who has
its own dedicated sea-freight inbound full
container load (FCL) and groupage services (LCL), or air-freight consolidation
services. Due to the start-up nature of our business we do not expect to ship
our products in full container load during the next twelve months of our
operations. We will be utilizing the option of shipping our products through a
company who ships “less than container” loads on favorable
terms.
We plan to hire additional personnel, based on the
activity level of our operations and product delivery requirements. In addition, to achieve our plans for future growth we
will need to recruit, hire, train and retain other highly qualified sales and
managerial personnel. Competition for qualified employees is intense,
and if we cannot attract, retain and motivate these additional employees their
absence could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations. All
future hiring will be subject to financing and sufficient cash flow from
operations. If we raise minimum amount of the proceeds from this offering we may
not be able to hire additional employees such as sales force or managerial
staff. If we won’t be successful in raising additional capital for our working
capital we may cease our operations and investors will lose all of their
investments.
We plan to organize the logistics and finalize our
workforce requirement within three months following the completion of the Phase
II. We plan to spend approximately $2,000 on Phase III of our
plan.
Future
Operations
We plan to start
selling the products in larger quantities to potential buyers, such as
distributors and companies specializing in installation and maintenance of water
treatment systems when market tests will be completed, product portfolio
determined, all necessary certifications obtained and purchase orders
secured. We do not plan at this point to sell the water treatment
systems to individual end users. We will obtain all the necessary
information about prospective brands and products we wish to include in our
portfolio from the manufacturers to develop a sale support
system. This information will include technical specifications,
instructions for installation and recommendations on frequency of replacement of
filter cartridges and comparisons to competitors’ systems.
We will
evaluate the consumer response to the introduced new products by working closely
with distributors, installers, and engineering companies and deciding on whether
to keep or adjust our product lines. Then we will develop a more
detailed plan of operations including types of products and next order
volumes.
Once we
determine number of products, models and prices for the types of systems we will
carry, we will start to make orders in larger volumes. This will
allow us to lower our cost of goods and shipping charges. Upon
completion of this stage will start to implement our marketing
plan.
Marketing and
Financing
Marketing
We plan to locate and establish partnership relations
with companies specializing in water treatment systems installation located in
major industrial cities in Russia. As of the date of this Prospectus we have not
entered into any partnership agreements with such companies. We plan to develop
a strategic marketing plan, by working together with our future partners, to
generate product awareness in geographical areas where we plan to introduce our
products. We will focus our marketing strategy in order to generate
product awareness amongst the “middle class” population of Moscow, Novosibirsk,
Saint Petersburg, and other larger cities. The middle class
represents the potential end user of our products as it has recently become more
aware and concerned about the environmental impact of consumption of bottled
water and poor quality tap water. We will actively support our future
partners by providing marketing materials and all necessary documentation to
promote our products and increase peoples’ awareness of the concept of
sustainable living and improving household water quality. We also plan to
participate in local trade shows targeting companies involved in design and
construction of new housing developments as well as renovation
specialists. The marketing plan will cover the
following:
27
|
-
|
Active
promotional program including product demonstrations, printing promotional
materials, educating buyers and other potential distributors on the brands
we carry.
|
|
-
|
Public
and media relations program in key
areas.
|
|
-
|
Participating
in trade shows through local distributors by supplying our products and
representing them at the shows to increase customer awareness of our
products.
|
Financing
We intend to raise a minimum of $30,000 and up to a
maximum of $300,000 of gross proceeds from this Offering. Due to the
“start up” nature of our business, we expect to incur losses as it expands.
To date, our cash flow requirements have been primarily met by debt and
equity financings. Management believes that if we raise minimum amount of
proceeds from this offering we will have sufficient cash flow to meet our
capital requirements for at least the next twelve months, but with limited funds
available to build and grow our business. Management expects to keep
operating costs to a minimum until cash is available through financing or
operating activities. Management plans to continue to seek other sources of
financing on favorable terms; however, there are no assurances that any such
financing can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. If we are
unable to generate profits or unable to obtain additional funds for our working
capital needs, we may need to cease or curtail operations. Furthermore,
there is no assurance the net proceeds from any successful financing arrangement
will be sufficient to cover cash requirements during the initial stages of the
Company’s operations.
Long-term
plan
There are
four key elements of our long-term plan (next five years):
a)
Expansion of our portfolio by diversifying our offerings with broader selections
of water treatment products. The next possible types of products may
include:
-
|
Point-of-entry systems, or
whole-house systems. The whole home water system is a
larger, stationary (usually basement-located) unit that filters all the
water that enters a home and allows enjoyment of bottled water quality
throughout the entire home, including showers, sinks, bathtubs, washing
machines, and dishwashers.
|
-
|
Shower
filters. A shower filter
is an adjustable shower head with a filter cartridge that filters shower
water by removing chlorine, dirt, sediments, and
odors.
|
-
|
Ultraviolet water purification
systems. UV water systems
destroy bacteria, mold, virus, and algae from drinking water and process
water without the use of heat or chemicals. The UV range of
purification systems are low cost, easy to use, and
good alternatives to chlorine and ozone for purifying water for
domestic, commercial, and small industrial
applications.
|
b)
|
Introduction of new product categories, e.g.
Bottle-less Reverse Osmosis Water Coolers - bottle-less water dispenser
with filtration that produces hot and cold water from the tap, eliminating
the hassle of replacing heavy 5-gallon water bottles. Good fit
for today's modern offices and
homes.
|
c)
|
Expansion
of sales territories, increasing number of distributors and uncovering new
distribution channels.
|
d)
|
Determination
of alternative revenue streams by expanding in commercial and industrial
water treatment systems.
|
Competition
The Company's business is subject to significant
competition. A significant number of U.S. water treatment systems
manufacturers supply Russia with high-tech equipment based on technologies such
as membrane filtration and automation of water treatment processes, amongst
others. German companies are also participating in the local
municipal communal utilities renovation projects. Other suppliers of
the Russian water treatment market are companies from Finland, Sweden, Denmark,
U.K., Italy, France, Sweden, Israel, Czech Republic, Switzerland, and
Turkey. The Russian water treatment market is highly competitive and
dominated by large multinational Western brands and international retail
chains. One such chain is OBI, a modern European DIY (do-it-yourself)
retailer, which operates numerous stores located in European countries with
around 12 stores in Russia. Auchan is another chain, a French
retailer who carries variety of water filters and water filtration systems for
self installation along with other independent stores throughout
Russia.
28
In
addition a large number of local companies have become dealers and distributors
of many US companies such as Pentair, Inc. (a parent
of Everpure Inc. USA ), Kinetico Inc. (USA), Danamark
WaterCare Ltd., (Canada), Pure Aqua (USA), Dime Water Inc
etc.
There is
also number of large, mid and small size local Russian competitors offering
similar products among many others. Many Russian companies have
started to utilize their know-how and manufacture their own branded products
with significantly lower price range due to lower labor and manufacturing
costs. Examples are Aquaphor Corporation, a Moscow-based company
BIORAY, METTEM-Technologies Ltd, etc.
In our particular product segment, we compete against
a diverse group of wholesalers and retailers offering wide range of residential
and commercial water purification products. Moreover, competition is
intense and poses great difficulty for smaller companies and
distributors. Nature’s Call Brands will try to offer distinctive
products, which address specific consumer needs. We will target
specific group of distributors, wholesalers and companies specializing in
installation and maintenance of water treatment systems who are focused on
creating an environment with a higher standard of living and are looking for
unique products and brands that are not offered by other
competitors.
Due to
limited financing and fierce competition from multinational wholesalers and
retailers, we may not be able to generate sustainable revenues and will have to
cease operations. In addition, it is possible that mass-market
discount retailers will increase their investment and enclose water treatment
products in their retail operations, thereby achieving greater market
penetration and placing additional competitive pressures on our
business.

LIABILITIES
Our

Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities is
asserted by one of our Directors, officers or controlling
persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in
the opinion of our
legal counsel the matter has
been settled by controlling precedent, submit
the question of whether such indemnification is
against public policy to court
of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be
governed by the court's decision.

1. Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation and Organization
Nature’s
Call Brands Inc. (the “Company” or “Nature’s Call Brands”) is a Nevada
corporation in the development stage and has minimal operations. The
Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 03,
2007. The proposed business plan of the Company is to sell and
distribute water treatment systems for residential and commercial
use.
Unaudited
Financial Statements
The
accompanying financial statements of Nature’s Call Brands as of August 31, 2009,
and November 30, 2008, and for the three months ended August 31, 2009, and 2008,
the nine months ended August 31, 2009, and the period ended August 31, 2008, and
cumulative from inception, are unaudited. However, in the opinion of
management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s
financial position as of August 31, 2009, and November 30, 2008, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 2009,
and 2008, the nine months ended August 31, 2009, and the period ended August 31,
2008, and cumulative from inception. These results are not
necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year ending
November 30, 2009. The accompanying financial statements and notes
thereto do not reflect all disclosures required under accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Refer to the
Company’s audited financial statements as of November 30, 2008, filed with the
SEC for additional information, including significant accounting
policies.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For
purposes of reporting within the statements of cash flows, the Company considers
all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or
penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company is in the development stage and has realized minimal revenues from
operations. The Company recognizes revenues when the sale and/or
distribution of products is complete, risk of loss and title to the products
have transferred to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an agreement,
acceptance has been approved by its customer, the fee is fixed or determinable
based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any
related receivable is probable. Net sales will be comprised of gross
revenues less expected returns, trade discounts, and customer allowances that
will include costs associated with off-invoice markdowns and other price
reductions, as well as trade promotions and coupons. These incentive
costs will be recognized at the later of the date on which the Company
recognized the related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the
incentive.

AUGUST

(Unaudited)
Loss
per Common Share
Basic
loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common
stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per share is computed
similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to
include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding
if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common
shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments
issued or outstanding for the nine months ended August 31, 2009, and the period
ended August 31, 2008.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”
(“SFAS No. 109”). Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of
certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting
purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified
according to the financial statement classification of the assets and
liabilities generating the differences.
The
Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax
assets. Nature’s Call Brands establishes a valuation allowance based
upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking
into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations
for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax
benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the
carryforward period under the Federal tax laws.
Changes
in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a
change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax
asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in
income in the year of the change in estimate.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments using the available
market information and valuation methods. Considerable judgment is
required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of fair
value may not be indicative of the amounts Nature’s Call Brands could realize in
a current market exchange. As of August 31, 2009, and November 30,
2008, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximated
fair value due to the short-term nature and maturity of these
instruments.

Deferred
Offering Costs
The
Company defers as other assets the direct incremental costs of raising capital
until such time as the offering is completed. At the time of the
completion of the offering, the costs are charged against the capital
raised. Should the offering be terminated, deferred offering costs
are charged to operations during the period in which the offering is
terminated.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
Capital
assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of
Disposal of Long-lived Assets,” which was adopted effective January 1,
2002. Under SFAS No. 144, these assets are tested for recoverability
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts
may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized for the
amount, if any, when the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair
value. For the nine months ended August 31, 2009, and the period
ended August 31, 2008, no events or circumstances occurred for which an
evaluation of the recoverability of long-lived assets was required.
Advertising
and Promotion
The
Company expenses all advertising and promotion costs as incurred. The
Company did not incur advertising and promotion costs during the periods ended
August 31, 2009, and 2008.
Common
Stock Registration Expenses
The
Company considers incremental costs and expenses related to the registration of
equity securities with the SEC, whether by contractual arrangement as of a
certain date or by demand, to be unrelated to original issuance
transactions. As such, subsequent registration costs and expenses are
reflected in the accompanying financial statements as general and administrative
expenses, and are expensed as incurred.
Estimates
The
accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America. Because a precise determination of many assets and
liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial
statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have
been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these
estimates.

2.
Development Stage Activities and Going Concern
The
Company is in the development stage, and has minimal operations. The
proposed business plan of the Company is to sell and distribute water treatment
systems for residential and commercial use. During the period from
December 3, 2007, through August 31, 2009, the Company was organized and
incorporated, conducted a capital formation activity to raise $6,000 through the
issuance of 6,000,000 shares of capital stock, and realized minimal
revenues. The Company intends to conduct additional capital formation
activities through the issuance of its common stock and to further conduct its
operations.
While
management of the Company believes that the Company will be successful in its
planned operating activities under its business plan and capital formation
activities, there can be no assurance that it will be successful in the sale and
distribution of water treatment systems for residential and commercial use or
the formation of sufficient capital such that it will generate adequate revenues
to earn a profit or sustain its operations.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America, which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The
Company has not established a source of revenues sufficient to cover its
operating costs, and as such, has incurred an operating loss since
inception. Further, as of August 31, 2009, the Company had a working
capital deficiency of $9,359. These and other factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments or classifications that may result from the possible inability of
the Company to continue as a going concern.
3. Capital
Stock
The total
number of common shares authorized that may be issued by the Company is
75,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 per share, and no other class of
shares is authorized.
During
the nine-month period ended August 31, 2009, the Company issued 6,000,000 shares
of common stock at $0.001 per share to its Directors for total proceeds of
$6,000. 1,000,000 of these shares are pertaining to subscribed funds
for which $1,000 was paid during the period from December 3, 2007 (inception) to
November 30, 2008.
As of
August 31, 2009, the Company had not issued any shares nor granted any stock
options under share-based compensation transactions.
4. Income
Taxes
The
provision (benefit) for income taxes for the nine months ended August 31, 2009
and the period ended November 30, 2008 were as follows (assuming a 15 percent

As of
August 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $15,359 in tax loss carry
forwards that can be utilized in future periods to reduce taxable income, and
expire in the year 2028.
The
Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax assets
for the period ended August 31, 2009, and 2008, because it is not presently
known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the loss carry
forwards.
5. Related
Party Transactions
The
President of the Company provides management services to the Company. During the
nine months ended August 31, 2009, management services of $1,000 (November 30,
2008 - $0) were charged to operations.
A
Director of the Company provides consulting services to the Company. During the
period ended August 31, 2009 consulting services of $1,700 (November 30, 2008 -
$0) were charged to operations.

As of

management, consulting and loans for working capital purposes. Such loans are
unsecured, non-interest bearing, and have no terms for repayment.
6. Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
On
December 4, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS
No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting
standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement
requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as
equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s
equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling
interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income
statement. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s
ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are
equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial
interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent
recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair
value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation
date. SFAS No. 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements
regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling
interest.
SFAS No.
160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is
prohibited. The management of Nature’s Call Brands does not expect
the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial
statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement 133”
(“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 enhances required disclosures
regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures
regarding how: (a) an entity uses derivative instruments; (b)
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB No.
133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”; and (c)
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. Specifically, SFAS
No. 161 requires:
|
·
|
.disclosure
of the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms
of underlying risk and accounting
designation;
|
|
·
|
disclosure
of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in
a tabular format;
|
|
·
|
disclosure
of information about credit-risk-related contingent
features;
|
|
·
|
and
cross-reference from the derivative footnote to other footnotes in which
derivative-related information is
disclosed.

Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 is
intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework,
or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing
financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for nongovernmental
entities.
Prior to
the issuance of SFAS No. 162, GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement on Auditing
Standards (“SAS”) No. 69, “The
Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accept Accounting
Principles.” SAS No. 69 has been criticized because it is
directed to the auditor rather than the entity. SFAS No. 162
addresses these issues by establishing that the GAAP hierarchy should be
directed to entities because it is the entity (not the auditor) that is
responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that
are presented in conformity with GAAP.
The
sources of accounting principles that are generally accepted are categorized in
descending order as follows:
|
a.
|
FASB
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards and Interpretations, FASB
Statement 133 Implementation Issues, FASB Staff Positions, and American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Accounting Research
Bulletins and Accounting Principles Board Opinions that are not superseded
by actions of the FASB.
|
|
b.
|
FASB
Technical Bulletins and, if cleared by the FASB, AICPA Industry Audit and
Accounting Guides and Statements of
Position.
|
|
c.
|
AICPA

cleared by the FASB, consensus positions of the FASB Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF), and the Topics discussed in Appendix D of EITF Abstracts
(EITF D-Topics).
|
|
d.
|
Implementation
guides (Q&As) published by the FASB staff, AICPA Accounting
Interpretations, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements
of Position not cleared by the FASB, and practices that are widely

SFAS No.
162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board amendment to its authoritative
literature. It is only effective for nongovernmental entities;
therefore, the GAAP hierarchy will remain in SAS 69 for state and local
governmental entities and federal governmental entities. The
management of Nature’s Call Brands does not expect the adoption of this
pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial
statements.
On May
26, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts” (“SFAS No. 163”). SFAS No. 163 clarifies
how FASB Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by
Insurance Enterprises” (“SFAS No. 60”), applies to financial guarantee
insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, including the recognition
and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It also
requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance
contracts.
The
accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 163 are intended to improve
the comparability and quality of information provided to users of financial
statements by creating consistency. Diversity exists in practice in
accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises
under SFAS No. 60, “Accounting
and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises.” That diversity
results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim
liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under
FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”
(“SFAS No. 5”). SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise
recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence
that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial
obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the risk-management
activities used by an insurance enterprise to evaluate credit deterioration in
its insured financial obligations and (b) the insurance enterprise’s
surveillance or watch list.
SFAS No.
163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years,
except for disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management
activities. Disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s
risk-management activities are effective the first period beginning after
issuance of SFAS No. 163. Except for those disclosures, earlier
application is not permitted. The management of Nature’s Call Brands
does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on
its financial statements.
On May
22, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 164, “Not-for-Profit Entities: Mergers and
Acquisitions” (“SFAS No. 164”). SFAS No. 164 is intended to
improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the
information that a not-for-profit entity provides in its financial reports about
a combination with one or more other not-for-profit entities, businesses, or
nonprofit activities. To accomplish that, this Statement establishes
principles and requirements for how a not-for-profit entity:

goodwill and other intangible assets after an acquisition by amending FASB
Statement No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets, to make it fully applicable to
not-for-profit entities.
SFAS No.
164 is effective for mergers occurring on or after December 15, 2009, and
acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the
first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15,
2009. Early application is prohibited. The management of
Nature’s Call Brands does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have
material impact on its financial statements.
On May
28, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No.
165”). SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards of
accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date
but before financial statements are issued or are available to be
issued. Specifically, Statement 165 provides:
|
1.
|
The
period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting
entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential
recognition or disclosure in the financial
statements.
|
|
2.
|
The
circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or
transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial
statements.
|
|
3.
|
The
disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that
occurred after the balance sheet
date.
|
In
accordance with this Statement, an entity should apply the requirements to
interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The
management of Nature’s Call Brands does not expect the adoption of this
pronouncement to have material impact on its financial
In June
2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets- an amendment of FASB Statement No, 140” (“SFAS No.
166”). SFAS No. 166 is a revision to SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities” and will
require more information about transfers of financial assets, including
securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the
risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the
concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for
derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional
disclosures.

beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15,
2009. The management of Nature’s Call Brands does not expect the
adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 167, "Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R)" (“SFAS No. 167”). SFAS No. 167 amends certain
requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities” and changes how a company determines when an entity that is
insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar
rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a
company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an
entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of
the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic
performance.
This
statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The

2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a
replacement of FASB Statement No. 162" ("SFAS No. 168"). SFAS
No. 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the
"Codification") to become the single official source of authoritative,
nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”). The Codification did not change GAAP but reorganizes the
literature.
SFAS No.
168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009. The management of Nature’s Call Brands does not expect the
adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial

REPORT
OF REGISTERED INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders
of
Nature’s Call Brands Inc.:
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of Nature’s Call Brands Inc. (a Nevada
corporation in the development stage) as of November 30, 2008, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders’ (deficit), and cash flows for the period
then ended, and cumulative from inception (December 3, 2007) through November
30, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Nature’s Call Brands Inc. as of
November 30, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
period ended November 30, 2008, and cumulative from inception (December 3, 2007)
through November 30, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, and has not
established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. As
such, it has incurred an operating loss since inception. Further, as
of November 30, 2008, the cash resources of the Company were insufficient to
meet its planned business objectives. These and other factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Management’s plan regarding these matters is also described
in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

1.
Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation and Organization
Nature’s
Call Brands Inc. (the “Company” or “Nature’s Call Brands”) is a Nevada
corporation in the development stage and has minimal operations. The
Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 3,
2007. The proposed business plan of the Company is to sell and
distribute water treatment systems for residential and commercial
use.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For
purposes of reporting within the statements of cash flows, the Company considers
all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or
penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company is in the development stage and has yet to realize revenues from
operations. Once Nature’s Call Brands has commenced operations, it
will recognize revenue when the sale and/or distribution of products is
complete, risk of loss and title to the products have transferred to the
customer, there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been
approved by its customer, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the
completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related
receivable is probable. Net sales will be comprised of gross revenues
less expected returns, trade discounts, and customer allowances that will
include costs associated with off-invoice markdowns and other price reductions,
as well as trade promotions and coupons. These incentive costs will
be recognized at the later of the date on which the Company recognizes the
related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the
incentive.
Loss
per Common Share
Basic
loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common
stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per share is computed
similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to
include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding
if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common
shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments
issued or outstanding for the period ended November 30, 2008.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”
(“SFAS No. 109”). Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of
certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting
purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified
according
to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities
generating the differences.
F-21
NATURE’S
CALL BRANDS INC.
(A
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER
30, 2008
The
Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax
assets. Nature’s Call Brands establishes a valuation allowance based
upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking
into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations
for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax
benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the
carryforward period under the Federal tax laws.
Changes
in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a
change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax
asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in
income in the year of the change in estimate.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments using the available
market information and valuation methods. Considerable judgment is
required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of fair
value may not be indicative of the amounts Nature’s Call Brands could realize in
a current market exchange. As of November 30, 2008, the carrying
value of the Company’s financial instruments approximated fair value due to the
short-term nature and maturity of these instruments.
Deferred
Offering Costs
The
Company defers as other assets the direct incremental costs of raising capital
until such time as the offering is completed. At the time of the
completion of the offering, the costs are charged against the capital
raised. Should the offering be terminated, deferred offering costs
are charged to operations during the period in which the offering is
terminated.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
Capital
assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of
Disposal of Long-lived Assets,” which was adopted effective January 1,
2002. Under SFAS No. 144, these assets are tested for recoverability
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts
may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized for the
amount, if any, which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair
value. For the period ended November 30, 2008, no events or
circumstances occurred for which an evaluation of the recoverability of
long-lived assets was required.

Advertising
and Promotion
The
Company expenses all advertising and promotion costs as incurred. The
Company did not incur advertising and promotion costs for the period ended
November 30, 2008.
Common
Stock Registration Expenses
The
Company considers incremental costs and expenses related to the registration of
equity securities with the SEC, whether by contractual arrangement as of a
certain date or by demand, to be unrelated to original issuance
transactions. As such, subsequent registration costs and expenses are
reflected in the accompanying financial statements as general and administrative
expenses, and are expensed as incurred.
Estimates
The
accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America. Because a precise determination of many assets and
liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial
statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have
been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these
estimates.
2.
Development
Stage Activities and Going Concern
The
Company is in the development stage. The proposed business plan of
the Company is to sell and distribute water treatment systems for residential
and commercial use.
During
the period from December 3, 2007, through November 30, 2008, the Company was
organized and incorporated, and conducted a capital formation activity to raise
$1,000 through a stock subscription agreement. The Company intends to
conduct additional capital formation activities through the issuance of its
common stock and to further conduct its operations.
While
management of the Company believes that the Company will be successful in its
planned operating activities under its business plan and capital formation
activities, there can be no assurance that it will be successful in the sale and
distribution of water treatment systems for residential and commercial use or
the formation of sufficient capital such that it will generate adequate revenues
to earn a profit or sustain its operations.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America, which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The
Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operations costs,
and as such, has incurred an operating loss since inception. Further,
as of November 30, 2008, the Company had a working capital deficiency of
$8,763. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying
financial statements do not include any adjustments or classifications that may
result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going
concern.

There
were no temporary differences between the Company’s tax and financial bases that
result in deferred tax assets, except for the Company’s net operating loss
carryforwards amounting to approximately $9,763 as of November 30, 2008, which
may be available to reduce future year’s taxable income.
These
carryforwards will expire, if not utilized, commencing in
2028. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from
these deferred tax assets appears uncertain due to the Company’s limited
operating history and continuing losses. Accordingly, a full,
deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax
asset benefit has been recorded.
5. Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
On
December 4, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS
No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting
standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement
requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as
equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s
equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling
interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income
statement. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s
ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are
equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial
interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent
recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair
value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation
date. SFAS No. 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements
regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling
interest.
SFAS No.
160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is
prohibited. The management of Nature’s Call Brands does not expect
the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial
statements.

In March
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement 133”
(“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 enhances required disclosures
regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including
enhanced disclosures regarding how: (a) an entity uses derivative
instruments; (b) derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted
for under FASB No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities”; and (c) derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. Specifically, SFAS No. 161
requires:
|
·
|
disclosure
of the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms
of underlying risk and accounting
designation;
|
|
·
|
disclosure
of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in
a tabular format;
|
|
·
|
disclosure
of information about credit-risk-related contingent features;
and
|
|
·
|
Cross-reference
from the derivative footnote to other footnotes in which
derivative-related information is
disclosed.

SFAS No.
161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November
15, 2008. Earlier application is encouraged. The
management of Nature’s Call Brands does not expect the adoption of this
pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial
statements.
On May 9,
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 is
intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework,
or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing
financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for nongovernmental
entities.
Prior to
the issuance of SFAS No. 162, GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement on Auditing
Standards (“SAS”) No. 69, “The
Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accept Accounting
Principles.” SAS No. 69 has been criticized because it is
directed to the auditor rather than the entity. SFAS No. 162
addresses these issues by establishing that the GAAP hierarchy should be
directed to entities because it is the entity (not the auditor) that is
responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that
are presented in conformity with GAAP.
The
sources of accounting principles that are generally accepted are categorized in
descending order as follows:
|
a.
|
FASB
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards and Interpretations, FASB
Statement 133 Implementation Issues, FASB Staff Positions, and American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Accounting Research
Bulletins and Accounting Principles Board Opinions that are not superseded
by actions of the FASB.

SFAS No.
162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board amendment to its authoritative
literature. It is only effective for nongovernmental entities;
therefore, the GAAP hierarchy will remain in SAS 69 for state and local
governmental entities and federal governmental entities. The
management of Nature’s Call Brands does not expect the adoption of this
pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial
statements.
On May
26, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts” (“SFAS No. 163”). SFAS No. 163 clarifies
how FASB Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by
Insurance Enterprises” (“SFAS No. 60”), applies to financial guarantee
insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, including the recognition
and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It also
requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance
contracts.
The
accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 163 are intended to improve
the comparability and quality of information provided to users of financial
statements by creating consistency. Diversity exists in practice in
accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises
under SFAS No. 60, “Accounting
and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises.” That diversity
results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim
liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under
FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for
Contingencies” (“SFAS No. 5”). SFAS No. 163 requires that an
insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default
when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured
financial obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the
risk-management activities used by an insurance enterprise to evaluate credit
deterioration in its insured financial obligations and (b) the insurance
enterprise’s surveillance or watch list.
SFAS No.
163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years,
except for disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management
activities. Disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s
risk-management activities are effective the first period beginning after
issuance of SFAS No. 163. Except for those disclosures, earlier
application is not permitted. The management of Nature’s Call Brands
does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on
its financial statements.

On May
22, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 164, “Not-for-Profit Entities: Mergers
and Acquisitions” (“SFAS No. 164”). SFAS No. 164 is intended
to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of
the information that a not-for-profit entity provides in its financial reports
about a combination with one or more other not-for-profit entities, businesses,
or nonprofit activities. To accomplish that, this Statement
establishes principles and requirements for how a not-for-profit
entity:
|
a.
|
Determines
whether a combination is a merger or an
acquisition.
|
|
b.
|
Applies
the carryover method in accounting for a
merger.
|
|
c.
|
Applies
the acquisition method in accounting for an acquisition, including
determining which of the combining entities is the
acquirer.
|
|
d.
|
Determines
what information to disclose to enable users of financial statements to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of a merger or an
acquisition.
|
This
Statement also improves the information a not-for-profit entity provides about
goodwill and other intangible assets after an acquisition by amending FASB
Statement No. 142, “Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets,” to make it fully applicable to
not-for-profit entities.
SFAS No.
164 is effective for mergers occurring on or after December 15, 2009, and
acquisitions for which the acquisitions date is on or after the beginning of the
first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15,
2009. Early application is prohibited. The management of
Nature’s Call Brands does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have
material impact on its financial statements.
On May
28, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS
No. 165”). SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards of accounting
for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be
issued. Specifically, SFAS No. 165 provides:
|
1.
|
The
period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting
entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential
recognition or disclosure in the financial
statements.
|
|
2.
|
The
circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or
transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial
statements.
|
|
3.
|
The
disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that
occurred after the balance sheet
date.
|
In
accordance with this Statement, an entity should apply the requirements to
interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The
management of Nature’s Call Brands does not expect the adoption of this
pronouncement to have material impact on its financial

In June
2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS No.
166”). SFAS No. 166 is a revision to SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities” and will
require more information about transfers of financial assets, including
securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the
risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the
concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for
derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional
disclosures.
This
statement is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the
beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15,
2009. The management of Nature’s Call Brands does not expect the
adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 167, "Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R)" (“SFAS No. 167”). SFAS No. 167 amends certain
requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities” and changes how a company determines when an entity that is
insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar
rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a
company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an
entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of
the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic
performance.
This
statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The
management of Nature’s Call Brands does not expect the adoption of this
pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a
replacement of FASB Statement No. 162" ("SFAS No. 168"). SFAS
No. 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the
"Codification") to become the single official source of authoritative,
nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”). The Codification did not change GAAP but reorganizes the
literature.
SFAS No.
168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009. The management of Nature’s Call Brands does not expect the
adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial
statements.

IDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Under our
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an
officer or Director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit,
because of his/her position, if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner
he/she reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance
expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the
officer or Director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which
he/she is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him/her against all expenses
incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action,
indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in
defending the proceeding, and if the officer or Director is judged liable, only
by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest
extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
Regarding
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which
may be permitted to Directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed
that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification
is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
RECENT
SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
We
completed an offering of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of
$0.001 per share to our Directors Andrian Burenta (2,500,000), Pavel Krykov
(2,500,000), and Inga Cebanu (1,000,000) on August 4, 2009. The total
amount received from this Offering was $6,000. We completed this
offering pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act.
The offer
and sale of all shares of our common stock listed above were affected in
reliance on the exemptions for sales of securities not involving a public
offering, as set forth in Regulation S promulgated under the Securities
Act. The investor acknowledged the following: subscriber is not a
United States Person, nor is the subscriber acquiring the shares directly or
indirectly for the account or benefit of a United States Person. None
of the funds used by the subscriber to purchase the units have been obtained
from United States Persons. For purposes of this Agreement, “United
States Person” within the meaning of U.S. tax laws, means a citizen or resident
of the United States, any former U.S. citizen subject to Section 877 of the
Internal Revenue Code, any corporation, or partnership organized or existing
under the laws of the United States of America or any state, jurisdiction,
territory or possession thereof and any estate or trust the income of which is
subject to U.S. federal income tax irrespective of its source, and within the
meaning of U.S. securities laws, as defined in Rule 902(o) of Regulation S,
means: (i) any natural person resident in the United States; (ii) any
partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of the
United States; (iii) any estate of which any executor or administrator is a
U.S. person; (iv) any trust of which any trustee is a U.S. person;
(v) any agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the United States;
(vi) any non-discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate
or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary for the benefit or account of a
U.S. person;

(vii) any
discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by
a dealer or other fiduciary organized, incorporated, or (if an individual)
resident in the United States; and (viii) any partnership or corporation if
organized under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction, and formed by a U.S.
person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered
under the Securities Act, unless it is organized or incorporated, and owned, by
accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a)) who are not natural persons,
estates or trusts.

UNDERTAKINGS
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To
file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-
effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:
(a)
include any Prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(b)
reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events which, individually or
together, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement; and notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation
from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of Prospectus filed with the commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no
more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;
and
(c)
include any additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution.
2. That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, 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 hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
4. That,
for determining our liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the
initial distribution of the securities, we undertake that in a primary offering
of our securities pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the
underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the
securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
following communications, we will be a seller to the purchaser and will be
considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
II-2
(i) any
preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus that we file relating to the offering
required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (Section 230.424
of this chapter);
(ii) any
free writing Prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on our behalf or
used or referred to by us;
(iii) the
portion of any other free writing Prospectus relating to the offering containing
material information about us
or our securities provided by or on behalf of us; and
(iv) any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by us to the
purchaser.
Each Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule
424(b) as part of a registration
statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on
Rule 430B or other than Prospectuses
filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed
to be part of and included in the registration
statement as of the date it is first used after
effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made
in a registration statement or Prospectus that
is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Prospectus
that is part of the registration statement will, as to a
purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use,
supersede or modify any statement that was made
in the registration statement or Prospectus that was part
of the registration statement or made in any such document
immediately prior to such date of first use.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the
provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities, other than the payment by us of
expenses incurred or paid by one of
our Directors, officers, or controlling persons
in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding, is asserted by one of our
Directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection
with the securities being registered, we 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 is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and
we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
In
accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-1 and authorized this Registration Statement
to be signed on our behalf by the undersigned, on December 17, 2009.
