Notes to Interim Financial Statements

(unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization
Aquamer, Inc. ("Aquamer") was formed as a Delaware corporation on February 4, 2000, for the purpose of developing medical products, using water-based tissue-bulking technology, for the fields of dermatology, gastroenterology and urology.
On January 26, 2005, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement and share exchange among Bellacasa Productions, Inc. ("Bellacasa" or the "Company"), Aquamer, and the shareholders of Aquamer, Bellacasa purchased all of the outstanding shares of Aquamer through the issuance of 28,504,148 shares of Bellacasa common stock directly to the Aquamer shareholders. Pursuant to the agreement, Aquamer became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the agreement, the transaction was treated for accounting purposes as a recapitalization by the accounting acquirer (Aquamer, Inc.).
Accordingly, the financial statements included in the post merger filing are those of the accounting acquirer (Aquamer, Inc.) for all historical periods and are combined to include the operating results and cash flows of the accounting acquiree (Bellacasa Productions, Inc.) after January 26, 2005.
Bellacasa Productions, Inc., a Nevada corporation, ("Bellacasa" or the "Company") was incorporated on July 28, 1998 for the purpose of operating in the entertainment industry, specifically in connection with the production and distribution of motion pictures.
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
The financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Company's December 31, 2005 amended Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in that report.
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to intangible assets, income taxes, insurance obligations and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other resources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
In the opinion of management, the information furnished in this amended Form 10-QSB/A reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations and cash flows as of and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation (Continued)
All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and therefore do not include some information and notes necessary to conform with annual reporting requirements.
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements included in the post merger filing are those of the accounting acquirer (Aquamer, Inc.) for all historical periods and are combined to include the operating results and cash flows of the accounting acquiree (Bellacasa Productions, Inc.) after January 26, 2005.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation including a pre-acquisition loan from Aquamer to Bellacasa in the amount of $30,000.
Acquisition of Aquamer
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Stock Based Compensation:
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123(R)"), which requires that companies measure and recognize compensation expense at an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments granted under compensation arrangements.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations, and would typically recognize no compensation expense for stock option grants if options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the "modified prospective" method, which results in no restatement of prior period amounts. Under this method, the provisions of SFAS 123(R) apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption. In addition, compensation expense must be recognized for any unvested stock option awards outstanding as of the date of adoption on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period. The Company calculates the fair value of options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. There are currently no outstanding options subject to future vesting therefore no charge is required for the three months ended March 31, 2006. SFAS 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported in the Statement of Cash Flows as a financing cash inflow rather than an operating cash inflow. In addition, SFAS 123(R) required a modification to th e Company's calculation of the dilutive effect of stock option awards on earnings per share. For companies that adopt SFAS 123(R) using the "modified prospective" method, disclosure of pro forma information for periods prior to adoption must continue to be made.
Earnings per Common Share:
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted earnings per share assumes that any dilutive convertible securities outstanding were converted, with related preferred stock dividend requirements and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
It also assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options for which market price exceeds the exercise price, less shares which could have been purchased by the Company with the related proceeds. In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any additional potential shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive. If the Company had generated earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2006, it would have added 300,000 common equivalent shares to the weighted average shares outstanding (none in the three months ended March 31, 2005) to compute the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The impact of options and warrants to purchase 865,000 shares was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share at March 31, 2006, because the exercise prices of these options and warrants were greater than the average share price during the measurement period.
Selected Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections," which replaces APB Opinion No. 20 "Accounting Changes," and FASB Statement No. 3 "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. This Statement shall be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that adoption of SFAS 154 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
Note 4 - Prepayments under Product Supply Agreement
Pursuant to a product supply agreement entered into by Aquamer in October 1999, the Company, in July 2005, prepaid $90,000 for the purchase of hydrogel product, based on poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone, as specified in certain U.S. Patents. In December 2005, the Company also paid $20,000 and recorded $30,000 as an account payable, which was paid in January 2006, for additional prepayment under the product supply agreement, which mandates minimum purchases of $50,000 per year. The $110,000 cash payments and $30,000 additional billing satisfied the Company's purchase obligations for 2003, 2004 and 2005. No date has been set for the manufacturing of the product or delivery of the product to the Company.

Note 5 - Advances to Related Parties
The Company is the holder of a note receivable from the Company's director and former president for $29,000, which bears interest at 4% per annum. At March 31, 2006, the total balance outstanding, including accrued interest of $4,884, was $33,884. Interest for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 was $290 in each period.

Note 7 - Convertible Note Payable - Related Party
In July, 2005, the Company issued to a related party an unsecured convertible note, with warrants attached, in the principal amount of $90,000 in exchange for $90,000 cash. The note proceeds were used for prepayments under a product supply agreement described above in Note 4 - Prepayments under Product Supply Agreement. The note had a maturity date of January 15, 2007 and provided for interest at 12% per annum, payable semi-annually.
The note also provided for conversion into the Company's common stock, at the holder's option, at the lesser of $0.10 per share or the average of the two highest bids for the Company's common stock for the five days prior to conversion.
On February 1, 2006, the holder of the note exercised its right to convert the note into 900,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
The attached warrants are described below, in Note 8 - Stockholders' Equity - Warrants Issued with Convertible Note.

Note 7 - Convertible Note Payable - Related Party (Continued)
Pursuant to the requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 98-5 "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios" and EITF 00-27"Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments," the issuance of the $90,000 note and detachable warrants resulted in a discount being recorded in the amount of $3,530 from the beneficial conversion feature and relative fair value of the warrants, as determined using an appropriate valuation model, and was amortized over the term of the $90,000 note. From the date of issuance through February 1, 2006, the Company amortized a total of $1,300, including $200 in the quarter ended March 31, 2006, of the discount to interest expense. The beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $1,765 was credited to Stockholders’ equity - Additional paid-in capital at the dat e of issuance of the note payable. Upon conversion, the principal balance of the note, $90,000, less the unamortized discount, $2,230, was credited to Stockholders’ equity - Common stock and Stockholders' equity - Additional paid- in capital.
The warrants and the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the note are restricted as to transferability. The Company relied upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Section 4(2) thereof in connection with the issuance of the securities. The holder of the warrants and shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion may include the securities as part of any future registration statement of the Company pursuant to "piggy-back" registration rights.

Note 9 - Stock Option Plan
In July 1998, the Company adopted the Bellacasa Productions, Inc. 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock over a ten-year period. Under provisions of the Plan, the purchase price for a share of stock subject to the options shall not be less then 100% of the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. In February 2005, stock options to purchase 50,000 and 400,000 shares of Common Stock were granted to two separate individuals, each having an expiration date of February 2010 and an exercise price of $0.15 per share. In April 2005, a director, in connection with his resignation, returned to the Company the stock option for 50,000 shares. On October 1, 2005, an additional 200,000 stock options were granted with an expiration date of February 2010 and an exercise price of $0.20 per share. At the respective dates of issuance, the fair value of the 600,000 stock options, which totaled $21,600, was charged to expense and credited to Stockholders' equity - Additional paid-in capital. As of March 31, 2006, no other stock options had been granted and the total of stock options outstanding was 600,000.
Note 10 - Commitments
The Company has entered into the following agreements:
Amended and Restated Product Supply Agreement ("Supply Agreement") and Amended Patent Agreement ("Patent Agreement") each between Aquamer and Partners in Biomaterials, Inc. are effective March 31, 2006.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
Description of Business
General
Bellacasa Productions, Inc. ("we," "us," "our," the "Company", the "Registrant" or "Bellacasa"), a Nevada corporation, was formed in 1998.
On November 15, 2004, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding stock of Aquamer, Inc. ("Aquamer"), a development stage medical technology corporation organized under the laws of Delaware, in exchange for shares of our Common Stock. The agreement was amended on January 26, 2005, at which time the transaction was consummated.
The acquisition was structured as a reverse takeover, whereby former shareholders of Aquamer obtained voting control over Bellacasa upon issuance of 28,504,148 shares of Bellacasa common stock, which represented approximately 78% of the total shares outstanding. As a result, Aquamer became our wholly owned subsidiary. Aquamer, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on February 4, 2000.
Business Overview
Bellacasa Productions, Inc., through our wholly owned subsidiary, Aquamer, Inc., is a clinical development stage company with a platform technology that builds on over ten years of scientific effort. We are a medical device company focused on the development and commercialization of three injectable biocompatible products. The products we are developing consist of a water-based polymer technology utilized as a tissue-bulking agent in the fields of dermatology (AquaDerm) urology/gynecology (AquaGen), and gastroenterology (AquaFlux ). Although we are a development stage company, our products are based on the results of several years of research and development, whereby we are now in the stage of preparing for, and executing on, clinical evaluation milestones.
We intend our water-based injectable products to be utilized as a bulking agent in the respective fields of use. We believe that our products will have competitive advantages pertaining to increased maintenance of efficacy or tissue "bulking," safety, ease of injection and non-cumbersome operational management issues associated with shipping and storage. Inherent in our technology is its biocompatibility, non-immunogenicity and lack of migration/absorption. We seek to become a leading provider of minimally invasive injectable modalities for dermatology, urology and gastroenterology. AquaDerm has received an Investigational Device Exemption ("IDE") from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and is undergoing pilot clinical evaluation. This product is being developed for the potential treatment of deep wrinkles, facial scars and various cosmetic plastic surgery procedures such as lip augmentation. AquaGen has been designed for use as a bulking agent in minimally invasive treatment of stress urinary incontinence, the most common form of urinary incontinence. AquaFlux is being developed as a bulking agent in the minimally invasive treatment of chronic heartburn or gastroesophogeal reflux disease ("GERD").
Technology
The bulking agent that comprises our products involves the use of a polymeric component from the poly-n-vinyl pyrrolidinone (PVP) family, which is recognized for its biocompatibility and extensive clinical use in other Class III (permanent implantable) medical devices. PVP is a non-toxic, non-metabolized hydrogel that has been approved for use as a plasma volume expander, a plasma detoxifying agent, an orally-ingested diagnostic aid (complex of PVP and iodine), a component of soft contact lenses, a variety of dental applications, a filler for a permanent implantable urological device and as an excipient in the manufacturing of tablets containing a variety of drugs. The dose of PVP used in our products is minimal; approximately 95% of the injected volume is water contained in the polymer matrix.
The bulking agent is created under two patents owned by Partners in Biomaterials Inc. ("Partners"), an independent third party based in California. Partners has granted us a worldwide perpetual license to the patents related to creation of the bulking agent and related intellectual property for use in our field of business. The patents expire on May 26, 2009 and July 10, 2010. We seek to obtain regulatory approval and commercialize these products. The Patent License Agreement also provides us the opportunity to obtain rights to any improvements made by Partners, as it relates to products for use in our business. We have also entered into a Product Supply Agreement with Partners, whereby Partners will supply us with polymer products in accordance with an agreed upon procedure and established price.
Products in Development
We are developing the following products designed for use in dermatology, urology and gastroenterology:
Dermatology
AquaDerm is targeted at the long-term effects of skin treatment. AquaDerm addresses conditions of tissue atrophy due to aging, facial wrinkles and depressed scars, as well as soft tissue defects resulting from surgery and inflammatory skin diseases. PVP has infinite molecular weight as a base polymer matrix, which impedes absorption and migration of polymer substrate into the surrounding tissue, thus lengthening the cosmetic effect. Most other injectable materials are suspensions (leading to the absorption of suspension media and migration of suspended particles) or biological in nature (such as collagen, which the body digests). Our product will be injected into the affected areas and filled to the appropriate point, making the defect flush with the surrounding tissue, or in the case of lip augmentation "plumped" to the desired size. Most products in the facial aesthetics/dermatology market today have the c ommon drawback of migration/absorption. Animal trials and initial human clinical trials indicate longer-term maintenance of results for AquaDerm.
Urology
AquaGen has been developed for use as a bulking agent in the minimally invasive treatment of stress urinary incontinence ("SUI"), the most common form of urinary incontinence. AquaGen is injected into the urethra/bladder junction (urinary sphincter muscle), reinforcing the muscle tissues around the bladder neck, the "bulking" of the closure mechanism that prevents accidental urine leakage.
SUI relates to the accidental or unintentional leakage of urine. It afflicts, worldwide, more than 25 million people, 85% of whom are female. Incontinence is a significant health issue, with millions experiencing complications related to incontinence at some point in their lives. More than half of all women will suffer from SUI during their lifetime. The "stress" in stress urinary incontinence is not associated with mental or emotional stress, but rather with increases in physical stress or pressures exerted on the body. One cause of stress incontinence is a condition called Intrinsic Sphincter Deficiency or ISD. This condition is present when the urinary sphincter (the muscle surrounding the urethra that controls urine flow) is not strong enough to close the bladder neck. This open bladder neck allows urine to leak out whenever there is an increase in intra-abdominal pressure.
Gastroenterology
AquaFlux has been designed for use as a bulking agent in the minimally invasive treatment of chronic heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease ("GERD"). AquaFlux is utilized as a bulking agent to strengthen and build the sphincter muscle at the base of the esophagus through a minimally invasive procedure, reinforcing and augmenting the closure mechanism that prevents reflux or gastric heartburn.
GERD is a condition whereby gastric contents from the stomach rise into the esophagus, known as reflux. In a normal stomach, the sphincter at the bottom of the esophagus (lower esophageal sphincter, or LES) opens to let food pass into the stomach and then closes to prevent the gastric contents in the stomach from rising into the esophagus. When a patient suffers from GERD, the lower esophageal sphincter relaxes at random times, allowing gastric contents from the stomach to reflux into the esophagus. Afflicting 7% to 10% of the U.S. adult population, GERD is different from regular heartburn in that it can have serious health consequences beyond the persistent burning pain of heartburn. It can lead to more serious medical problems such as difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), painful swallowing (odynophagia), narrowing of the esophagus (strictures), and Barrett's esophagus, believed to be a premalignant lesion. Chronic hoarseness or laryngitis, respiratory problems (e.g., coughing, wheezing, asthma, recurrent pneumonia), and non-cardiac chest pain are sometimes associated with GERD. GERD patients may need to sleep sitting up or avoid bending over to prevent fluids from coming up from the stomach.
Market Opportunity
The market for aesthetic facial products has expanded at an estimated annual rate in excess of 35% since 2000. The range of products encompasses invasive and non-invasive treatment modalities to remedy aging and defective soft tissues of the face. Products such as Botox® and collagen (Zyderm® and Zyplast®) are currently "the gold standards" used by plastic surgeons and dermatologists in an office environment and now even by consumers under medical guidance (Botox® injections can be administered within a patient's home). As the average age of the population increases, interest in skin rejuvenation and correction has increased. More than 8.3 million surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures were performed in 2003, including rhytidectomy (facelift), liposuction, laser resurfacing, chemical peeling and soft tissue augmentation (American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery). In addition, more than one million patients undergo surgery each year for skin cancer in the United States alone. Many of these lesions are resected from the face and necessitate reconstruction. As a result of the number of patients affected, there is great interest in filling substances for the skin for both cosmetic and reconstructive purposes.
Urinary incontinence afflicts more than 25 million people worldwide, 85 percent of whom are female. The condition may have negative emotional, social and hygienic consequences. The Agency for Health Policy and Research (AHCPR), a division of the Public Health Service, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, estimates that urinary incontinence affects approximately 13 million people in the United States, of which 85% or 11 million are women. The same agency estimates the total cost (utilizing all management and curative approaches) of treating incontinence of all types in the United States as $15 billion. Urethral bulking agents ("UBA") are currently recommended by AHCPR as first-line treatment for woman with ISD who do not have coexisting urethral hypermobility. Male patients can also benefit from a urethral bulking agent procedure, which is recommended as a first-line surgical treatment for men with ISD, according to the Agency for Health Policy and Research. According to the American College of Surgeons, there are approximately 400,000 prostate surgeries performed each year in the United States, and up to 20% of these men develop incontinence following the procedure. Additionally, urinary incontinence can result in a substantial decrease in a person's quality of life, and it is often the main reason a family may move an elderly relative into nursing home care. We expect the incidence of urinary incontinence will rise as the percentage of elderly people continues to increase. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality ("AHRQ") reported that vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is primarily a pediatric concern, with a prevalence estimated to be as high as 3% of the U.S. pediatric population. Approximately 15,000 surgical procedures are performed per year to address this VUR issue. Patients with VUR grades 1 through 4 in this population are candidates for minimally invasive surgery using a bulking agent . Globally, the use of a bulking agent to correct the VUR condition can reduce patient costs related to continued use of antibiotics for treatment of chronic urinary tract infections, which can lead to more serious related complications.
There is a large market for the treatment of chronic heartburn or gastroesophogeal reflux disorder. More than 60 million Americans suffer from heartburn symptoms at least once a month. Roughly 25 million or 4% to 7% of Americans, suffer from reflux on a daily basis. PPIs or Proton Pump Inhibitors are the current standard in treatment.
While the market opportunities are attractive, potential investors must be aware additional funds will be required to carry out more clinical trials and seek regulatory approvals.
Intellectual Property
As mentioned above, Partners has granted us a worldwide perpetual license to all relevant technology and related intellectual property for use in our field of business.
Patent License Agreement
The Patent License Agreement also provides us the opportunity to obtain rights to any improvements made by Partners, as it relates to products for use in our business. In accordance with the terms of the Patent License Agreement, we are obligated to pay to Partners a 5% royalty on sales of products incorporating their patents. The Patent License Agreement may be terminated by either party for material breach or insolvency of the other party. We may also terminate upon 30 days notice to Partners. Partners may terminate if we do not invoice at least a cumulative $5 million for the three year period following the date regulatory approval is granted from the FDA for marketing or $5 million for any subsequent consecutive three year period. As mentioned elsewhere herein, additional clinical trials are required prior to our seeking regulatory approval.
Product Supply Agreement
We have also entered into a Product Supply Agreement with Partners whereby Partners will supply polymer products to us in accordance with an agreed upon procedure and established price. In October 1999, Aquamer entered into a product supply agreement with Partners for the purchase of its hydrogel product, based on poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone, as specified in certain U.S. Patents. This agreement, which was amended in March 2002, May 2002 and October 2005, mandates we make minimum purchases of $50,000 per year. In July 2005, we paid $90,000 to satisfy our minimum purchase obligations for 2003 and 2004 and in December 2005, we paid $20,000 and were billed $30,000, which we paid in January 2006, to satisfy our obligations for 2005. Product will be manufactured for us and delivered to us in accordance with our scheduling requirements. The product is initially to be used for our clinical testing in the fields of dermatology, urology and gastroenterology.
Effective March 31, 2006, Aquamer and Partners agreed to an Amended and Restated Supply Agreement that has a term of 25 years unless Aquamer does not receive FDA approval by March 2010. The agreement may be terminated by either party for material breach or insolvency of the other party. We may also terminate if Partners is unable to produce the product in a facility which complies with ISO/FDA requirements. Partners may terminate for non-payment of invoices for greater than 60 days and can also terminate upon 12 months notice. Aquamer has the right to purchase the manufacturing process and the rights to manufacture, if Partners terminates the agreement.
Clinical Trials
We have received an approved Investigational Device Exemption ("IDE") from the FDA to conduct a pilot clinical trial study of the AquaDerm product. The study enrolled 20 patients at one site and all patients completed their follow-up per the protocol. No additional patients are expected to be enrolled at this site. Both our company and the principal study investigator concluded that the results of this feasibility study to date demonstrate the device is potentially both safe and efficacious, warranting further study under this IDE in a multi-center trial. As mentioned elsewhere, additional funds will be required to do more clinical trials and seek regulatory approval to market the product.
Government Regulation
The potential production and marketing of our products and our ongoing research and development, pre-clinical testing and clinical trial activities are subject to extensive regulation and review by numerous governmental authorities both in the United States and abroad. Delays in or rejection of FDA or other government entity approval of our products may also adversely affect our business. AquaDerm has received an Investigational Device Exemption ("IDE") from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and is undergoing pilot clinical evaluation.
Periodically, legislative or regulatory proposals are introduced that could alter the review and approval process relating to medical devices. It is possible that the FDA will issue additional regulations further restricting the sale of our present or proposed products. Any change in legislation or regulations that govern the review and approval process relating to our current and future products could make it more difficult and costly to obtain approval for new products, or to produce, market, and distribute existing products.
If national healthcare reforms, or other legislation or regulations are passed that impose limits on the number or type of allowable medical products or restrict a physician's ability to select specific products used in patient procedures, such changes could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products.
Research and Development
We spent no money on research and development activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005.
Employees
Other than our president, Edwin Reilly, who devotes such time as necessary to our operations, we do not have any employees. We may utilize independent contractors and consultants from time to time to assist us with our compliance requirements.
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
On November 15, 2004, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding stock of Aquamer, Inc., a development stage company. The transaction was structured as a reverse takeover, whereby former shareholders of Aquamer would obtain voting control over Bellacasa upon issuance to them of approximately 28,000,000 shares of Bellacasa common stock.
On January 26, 2005, the Stock Purchase Agreement was amended to increase the number of shares to be issued to 28,504,148 and to extend the closing date to no later than January 31, 2005. On January 26, 2005, the transaction was closed in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended.
Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis provides information, which our management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this report.
Three months ended March 31, 2006 and three months ended March 31, 2005 and since inception, February 4, 2000, (the date of Aquamer’s incorporation through March 31, 2006.
The financial statements included in this amended quarterly report are those of the accounting acquirer (Aquamer, Inc.) for all historical periods and are combined to include the operating results and cash flows of the accounting acquiree (Bellacasa Productions, Inc.) after January 26, 2005.
Sales - Neither Bellacasa or its wholly owned subsidiary, Aquamer, have had any revenue since their respective dates of incorporation.
Costs and Expenses - Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were $46,143, compared to $23,255 in the three months ended March 31, 2005.
Expenses in the first fiscal quarter of 2006 included general and administrative expenses of approximately $44,500 that consisted primarily of professional fees of approximately $41,500 for consulting, legal, accounting and digital document services; with the balance of approximately $3,000 for travel and meetings, transfer agency and insurance. Other expenses for the period were interest expense, $1,850; and depreciation, $259.
Of the $41,500 professional fees, $19,200 was paid with our stock, in lieu of cash. Interest expense of $1,560 included $750 for interest accrued on the $50,000 shareholder advance; $1,100 for interest on the $90,000 convertible note of which $900 was accrued and $200 was amortized discount; offset by accrued interest income of $290 on our advance to a related party.
Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $23,255, which consisted of $22,500 for consulting and professional services that were paid for with shares of our stock, in lieu of cash; $259 for depreciation; $36 for bank charges and $750 for interest accrued on the $50,000 shareholder advance, which was offset by accrued interest income of $290 on our advance to a related party.
Costs and expenses since inception, as a development stage enterprise, were approximately $656,000. These costs and expenses consist of Aquamer's costs and expenses from its date of incorporation, February 4, 2000, up until its acquisition by Bellacasa on January 26, 2005 and then on a consolidated basis through March 31, 2006.
Gain on Debt Restructuring - We did not have gain on debt restructuring in the first three months of 2006 or 2005.
Since inception, we had approximately $35,000 of gain on debt restructuring. The gain was during the period from Aquamer's date of incorporation, February 4, 2000, up until its acquisition by Bellacasa on January 26, 2005 and then on a consolidated basis through March 31, 2006.
Net Loss - Net loss, before taxes, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $46,143. Net loss, before taxes, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $23,255. The net change of approximately $22,000 resulted from the increase of fees for professional services of $19,000 and other expenses of approximately $3,000.
Since inception, our losses through March 31, 2006 have totaled approximately $621,000.
We have not reduced our net loss, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 or for the three months ended March 31, 2005, by any tax or tax benefit, consequently, for both periods, our net loss was the same before and after taxes.
Net loss per share for both the three months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 was less than $0.005 per share. Per share losses for the first quarter of 2006 and for the comparable 2005 period were based on 38,978,370 and 28,998,496 weighted average shares, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2006, our cash balance was $68,113, as compared to $122,482 on December 31, 2005.
As of December 31, 2005, our liabilities totaled $246,246. On February 1, 2006, our note payable due in January 2007 was exchanged for 900,000 shares of our common stock in accordance with the conversion terms of the note. Also in February 2006, the $15,800 accrued liability to issue shares was eliminated by the issuance of the agreed upon number of shares.
As of March 31, 2006, our total liabilities were $115,281, which consisted of an advance by one of our stockholders, Charles LaLoggia, of $50,000 and accounts payable and accrued expenses totaling $66,281, which includes accrued interest of $12,750 on the Charles LaLoggia advance. No arrangements have been made as to the repayment of the Charles LaLoggia liability, which is payable on demand.
We intend to meet our cash needs for the next 12 months by the sale of securities or borrowings. We need to raise additional capital in order to pursue our business plan, and the required additional financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. No binding commitment for an investment of funds in our company has been made, and a number of factors beyond our control may make any future financings uncertain. Although we believe that the commencement of trading of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board has enhanced our capital raising ability, there is no assurance we will be able to sell our securities or borrow funds to pursue our business objectives. We will require the infusion of capital to sustain planned growth and continue the process for regulatory approval of the Aquamer products. Failure to raise enough capital to continue clinical trials may hold a significant risk to our sharehold ers.
During the next two years (2006 and 2007), we plan to expand enrollment in our clinical trial for dermatology, file for an Investigational Device Exemption and initiate a small clinical trial for stress urinary incontinence, and file for an Investigational Device Exemption for gastroesophageal reflux disease. The cost to carry out these activities will be approximately $1,100,000 during the two-year period. Depending on when the activities commence in 2006, the approximate cost for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 will be $400,000. We plan to raise the necessary funds through investment banks and/or private investors. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in raising the necessary capital.
Ability to Continue as a Going Concern and Plan of Operation
Our consolidated financial statements, which are included in this Form 10-QSB/A, have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our liquidity has been adversely affected by losses of more than $620,000 since Aquamer's incorporation date, February 4, 2000, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital contributions and/or achieving profitable operations. Our management's plan includes raising additional capital either in the form of common stock or convertible securities and continuing our research and development efforts and pursuing clinical trials to obtain the necessary approvals to market our products. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in accomplishing our objectives.
Capital Expenditures
We did not make any capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2006 and we do not expect to make any significant capital expenditures during the remainder of the year.
ITEM 3 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2006. This evaluation was accomplished under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer, principal executive officer, chief financial officer/principal accounting officer who concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all material information required to be filed in the quarterly report on Form 10-QSB has been made known to him. As of March 31, 2006, and the date of this Report, Edwin A. Reilly served as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (which duties include that of principal accounting officer). There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting which could significantly affect or are reasonably likely to materially affect internal controls subsequent to the date we completed our e valuation and the date of filing of this Report on Form 10-QSB.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

1. Approving an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Aquamer Medical Technologies, Inc.
