The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements.
Overview
Easy.com, Inc. ("Easy") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 9, 2000. On June 30, 2005, Easy acquired 100% of the common stock of Royal Spring Water Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Us, We, Our, or the Company”).
Royal Spring Water Inc. was incorporated on April 20, 2005. In April 2006, the Company filed Articles of Merger in Nevada and legally combined the entities of Easy.com and Royal Spring Water Inc. They concurrently changed the name of the surviving entity to Royal Spring Water Inc. The Company was established to extract, process, and bottle Artesian Well water. The Company’s plant is in Hereford Texas, which is also known as the “city without a tooth ache” due to its fluoride rich water.
The Company’s underground water source has existed for millions of years and is part of the “Ogallala Aquifer”, one of the country’s largest aquifers. The state-of-the-art facility in Hereford, Texas is where water is extracted from underground wells and then filtered and bottled through a complex filtration and bottling process. In addition to acquiring water rights, the Company has entered into a long-term agreement for a facility allowing for the manufacturing of plastic bottles and labels providing a fully customized product for a very competitive price.

If we are not successful, you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. Please carefully review the risks related to our business and our common stock which are described in more detail beginning on page 6 of this prospectus.

We operate in a rapidly changing industry that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties described below may not be the only ones we face. Other risks and uncertainties, including those that we do not currently consider material, may impair our business. If any of the risks discussed below actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We are a Development Stage Company with an Accumulated Deficit
We are a development stage company subject to all of the risks and uncertainties of a new venture. The likelihood of our success must be considered in the light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the development of a business and the competitive environment in which we operate. Unanticipated delays, expenses and other problems such as setbacks in research and development or product development and market acceptance are frequently encountered in connection with the expansion of a business. As a result of the fixed nature of many of our expenses, we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected delays in the development and marketing of our products or any capital raising or revenue shortfall. Any such delays or shortfalls will have an immediate adverse impact on our business, operations and financial condition.
Our Financial Statements have been Prepared Assuming we will Continue as a Going Concern
The financial statements as of and for the years ended August 31, 2006 and 2005, have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not purport to represent the realizable or settlement values if we are unable to continue as a going concern. We have suffered organizational losses and have limited working capital liquidity at August 31, 2006. As a result of these factors, our independent certified public accountants expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their August 31, 2006 and 2005 audit reports. We believe that our efforts to generate revenue will generate cash flows, although there can be no assurances that such efforts will be successful.
We Operate in a Highly Competitive Industry
The bottled water industry is highly competitive. Many of the Company’s competitors have more experience in the U.S. bottled water market, have greater financial and management resources and have more established proprietary trademarks and distribution networks than we do. We currently compete with established national companies such as the Perrier Group of America, Inc. (whose brands include Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water, Poland Spring, Ozarka Spring Water, Great Bear, Deer Park, Ice Mountain and Zephyrhills Natural Spring Water) and Great Brands of Europe (whose brands include Evian, Natural Spring Water and Dannon Natural Spring Water), as well as numerous regional bottled water companies located in the United States and Canada. We compete not only with other bottled water producers, but also with producers of other beverages, including, but not limited to, soft drinks, coffee, juices, beer, liquor and wine. The bottled water industry also competes for the same consumer who may, when choosing to drink water, drink tap water or use a home filtration system to filter tap water for drinking. There can be no assurance that we can compete successfully in this market.
Our Success Depends on our Ability to Achieve and Manage Growth
In order to achieve continued growth in our bottled water business, we must meet our strategic objectives of expanding our current capacity to produce high quality spring bottled water products, expanding our customer base, expanding our product line and adding new distribution channels. No assurance can be given as to the future growth in our business or as to our profitability. Further growth of the Company will require capital, employment and training of new personnel, expansion of facilities and expansion of management information systems. If the Company is unable to manage its growth effectively, the Company’s profitability and its ability to achieve its strategic objectives may likely be materially adversely affected.
We Expect to have Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results
Our future revenues are expected to be subject to several factors which may result in fluctuations in our operating results. Our business is expected to be highly seasonal, with increased sales during warmer months. Inclement weather may negatively impact our business, particularly summers which are unusually cool or rainy. Fluctuations in retail prices and raw material prices may produce corresponding fluctuations in our profits. In addition, we expect to make significant investments from time to time in capital improvements to, among other things, increase capacity. Costs associated with such improvements may cause an immediate reduction in profit margins unless and until sales volume increases. Our product and packaging mix may change from time to time and, depending on certain factors, may negatively impact profit margins. We are subject to competitive pricing pressures which may affect its financial results. Due to all the foregoing factors, it is possible that in some future quarter or quarters, the Company’s operating results would likely be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In such event, the price of the Common Stock would likely be materially adversely affected. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.”
We may have Limited Ability to Raise Prices
Due to the wide range of beverages available to consumers, including bottled water products, the Company has limited ability to raise prices for its products. From time to time, the Company may be affected by higher prices for raw materials including resin and corrugated boxes and transportation. We may be unable to pass such higher costs on to our customers and we generally would be unlikely to do so in connection with any future price increases. As a result, our future profitability may be adversely affected by future increases in raw material prices and transportation costs.
We will have Potential for Product Liability
The bottling and distribution of bottled water products entails a risk of product liability, including liability due to the presence of contaminants in its products. We maintain insurance coverage against the risk of product liability and product recall. However, the amount of the insurance carried by the Company is limited, and the insurance is subject to certain exclusions and may or may not give us adequate loss protection. In addition to direct losses resulting from product liability and product recall, we may suffer adverse publicity and damage to our reputation in the event of contamination which could have a material adverse effect on sales and profitability.
We will be Subject to Changes in Government Regulation
Our operations are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to its bottling operations, including the identity, quality, packaging and labeling of its bottled water. These laws and regulations and their interpretation and enforcement are subject to change. There can be no assurance that additional or more stringent requirements will not be imposed on our operations in the future. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations could result in fines against us.
We do not Expect to Pay Dividends for Some Time
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on its Common Stock. We currently intend to retain our earnings, if any, to provide funds for the operation and expansion of our business and, therefore, do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, contractual restrictions with respect to the payment of dividends and other relevant factors. Further, pursuant to the terms of our existing credit facilities, is restricted in its ability to pay cash dividends on its Common Stock. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations.”
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
Our Stock Price May Be Highly Volatile and Subject to Wide Fluctuations Due to Many Factors, Including a Substantial Market Overhang
The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in operating results, announcements of distribution agreements, or new affiliations or new products by us or our competitors, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, lack of market acceptance of our products, or other events or factors, including the risk factors described herein. In addition, the stock market in general experiences significant price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to a company’s operating performance. As with any public company, we may be subject to securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of our securities which could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of common stock, or even the potential of sales, in the public market following this offering could deflate the market price for the common stock and make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital through the sale of our common stock.
Your Investment May Have Limited Liquidity If an Active Trading Market Does Not Develop or Continue
Your purchase of our common stock may not be a liquid investment because our securities trade on the Pink Sheets. You should consider carefully the limited liquidity of your investment before purchasing any shares of our common stock. We have no obligation to apply for quotation of our common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market or for listing of our common stock on any national securities exchange. Factors such as our lack of earnings history, the absence of expectation of dividends in the near future, mean that there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for our common stock will exist at any time, that a market can be sustained, or that investors in the common stock will be able to resell their shares. In addition, the free transferability of the common stock will depend on the securities laws of the various states in which it is proposed that a sale of the common stock be made.
We will be subject to certain California Corporate laws
Section 2115 of the California General Corporation Law subjects certain foreign corporations doing business in California to various substantive provisions of the California General Corporation Law in the event that the average of its property, payroll and sales is more than 50% in California and more than one-half of its outstanding voting securities are held of record by persons residing in the State of California. Some of the substantive provisions include laws relating to annual election of directors, removal of directors without cause, removal of directors by court proceedings, indemnification of officers and directors, directors standard of care and liability of directors for unlawful distributions. The aforesaid Section does not apply to any corporation which, among other things, has outstanding securities designated as qualified for trading as a national market security on NASDAQ if such corporation has at least eight hundred holders of its equity securities as of the record date of its most recent annual meeting of shareholders. It is currently anticipated that we may be subject to Section 2115 of the California General Corporation Law which, in addition to other areas of the law, will subject us to Section 708 of the California General Corporation Law which mandates that shareholders have the right of cumulative voting at the election of directors.
We will be Subject to Impediments to Resale from Penny Stock Regulations
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations generally define “Penny Stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker dealer must make a delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker dealer and registered representative, current quotations for the securities, and, if the broker dealer is the sole market maker, the broker dealer must disclose this fact and the broker dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent out disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the customer’s account and information on a limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “Penny Stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of stockholders to sell our securities in the secondary market.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS
This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements, including among others: (i) the projected time for commencing operations; (ii) anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations; (iii) our business strategy for our plan of operations and (iv) our ability to distinguish ourselves from our current and future competitors. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. In addition to other risks described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” discussion, important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include (i) changes to external competitive market factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of operations; (ii) anticipated working capital or other cash requirements; (iii) changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the industry in which we will operate; and (iv) various competitive factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace. In light of these risks and uncertainties, many of which are described in greater detail elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” discussion, there can be no assurance that the events predicted in forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus will in fact transpire. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. The safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 does not apply to the offering made in this prospectus.
IN ADDITION TO THE FOREGOING RISKS, BUSINESSES ARE OFTEN SUBJECT TO RISKS THAT ARE NOT FORESEEN OR FULLY APPRECIATED BY MANAGEMENT. POTENTIAL INVESTORS SHOULD KEEP IN MIND THAT OTHER MATERIAL RISKS COULD EXIST THAT HAVE NOT BEEN CONTEMPLATED OR THAT MAY ARISE.
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION’S PUBLIC REFERENCE
Any member of the public may read and copy any materials filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (hereafter “the SEC”). At the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street N.E, Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800 SEC-0330.

The shares of common stock offered by this prospectus are being registered for the account of the selling stockholders named in this prospectus. As a result, all proceeds from the sales of the common stock will go to the selling stockholders and we will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholders. We will incur all costs associated with this Registration Statement and prospectus.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
This prospectus covers the resale by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus of up to 9,745,556 shares of our common stock. The selling stockholder may offer to sell the shares of our common stock being offered in this prospectus at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or negotiated prices.
We have not paid dividends and do not plan on paying dividends in the near future. Instead, we currently intend to retain any earnings for use in establishing and growing our business and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
An aggregate of 9,745,556 shares of common stock are being registered in this offering for the account of the selling shareholders. Subject to certain restrictions discussed below, the shares of common stock being registered for the account of the selling shareholders may be sold by the selling shareholders or their transferees commencing on the third business day after the Registration Statement has been declared effective. Sales of such shares of common stock by the selling shareholders or their transferees may depress the price of the common stock in any market that may develop for the common stock.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to persons for whom we are registering such shares of common stock for resale to the public.

The selling stockholders may offer and sell, from time to time, any or all of the common stock issued.

DISCLOSURE OF SEC POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation entitle our directors or executive officers to indemnification to the fullest extent permitted under Nevada General Corporation Law, as may be amended. Our Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation also provide that our directors shall not be liable to the company or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of duty, except (a) for any breach of duty of loyalty to the company or our stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law.
The Nevada General Corporation Law allows a company to indemnify our officers, directors, employees, and agents from any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, except under certain circumstances. Indemnification may only occur if a determination has been made that the officer, director, employee, or agent acted in good faith and in a manner, which such person believed to be in the best interests of the Company. A determination may be made by the stockholders; by a majority of the directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding confirmed by opinion of independent legal counsel; or by opinion of independent legal counsel in the event a quorum of directors who were not a party to such action, suit, or proceeding does not exist.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company under Nevada law or otherwise, our company has been advised that the opinion of the SEC is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Overview
Easy.com, Inc. ("Easy") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 9, 2000. Easy was a non-operating shell company with nominal assets prior to the merger with Royal Spring Water Inc. On June 30, 2005, Easy acquired 100% of the common stock of Royal Spring Water Inc., a Nevada corporation. Easy completed the acquisition by having the shareholders of RSW surrender 100% of their common stock to the company. In anticipation of the Reverse Merger, on September 2, 2004 the shareholders of Easy gifted stock to the shareholders of RSW, giving these shareholders and their family members control of Easy.
The principal address of Easy at that time was 14 Pico Crescent, Thornhill, Ontario, Canada L4J 8P4 and the executive offices and directors of Easy were as follows:
NAME | AGE | | POSITION HELD WITH COMPANY |
| | | |
Marvin N. Winick | 52 | | Director, President |
| | | |
Sterling Klein | 31 | | Director, Secretary Treasurer |
| | | |
Sak Narwal | 36 | | Director |
Royal Spring Water Inc. was incorporated on April 20, 2005. In April 2006, the Company filed Articles of Merger in Nevada and legally combined the entities of Easy.com and Royal Spring Water Inc. They concurrently changed the name of the surviving entity to Royal Spring Water Inc. The Company was established to extract, process, and bottle artesian well water. The Company’s plant is in Hereford Texas, which is also known as the “city without a tooth ache” due to its fluoride rich water.
The Company's underground water source has existed for millions of years and is part of the "Ogallala Aquifer", one of the country's largest aquifers. This water from the artesian wells of the "Ogallala Aquifer" is free of organic contaminants, making it desirable for drinking. The state-of-the-art facility in Hereford, Texas is where water is extracted from underground wells and then filtered and filled through a complex filtration and bottling process. In addition to acquiring water rights, the Company has entered into a long-term lease agreement for a facility allowing for the manufacturing of plastic bottles and labels providing a fully customized product for a very competitive price.
The Industry
The U.S. consumer interest in health can be credited for the growth of the bottled water industry. Increasingly, consumers are realizing the importance of water for their overall well being, energy level and appearance. The 1950's - 1970's saw a large increase in soda and sugary drink consumption. Today, more and more people are looking to bottled water as their choice for natural refreshment. Consumer reports indicate that approximately 60% of the U.S. population today drinks bottled water (1). The bottled water and value added beverage business, now approaching $9.2 billion annually in North America, is predicted to double within the next three to four years in the water category alone. Market analysts predict that the bottled water market will continue this rapid growth well into the future. At the same time, the more healthful products, including value added water products, have established an impressive foothold in the buying of mainstream shoppers. This growing demand provides for primarily two types of sales for the Company; contract packing and branded products.

| http://www.bottledwater.org/public/informat_main.htm |
Bottled water is the fastest growing segment of the entire beverage industry. In fact, in 2006:
| · | Bottled water is still the number two beverage behind soft drinks |
| · | Industry wholesale dollar sales, approached $10.98 billion in 2006 |
| · | Total U.S. category volume surpassed 8.267 million gallons, a 9.7% annual change (1) |
| · | The polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottle segment of the market drove the entire category growth by representing 42% of all bottle sales. |

The Market
With little to no advertising, especially compared to other beverage types such as soft drinks and coffee, consumers are selecting bottled water as an alternative to other drink choices. Reports indicate the bottled water market is the fastest growing sector of the overall U.S. beverage market. Health and safety reasons also help to drive consumers to purchase bottled water. Some people reach for it as a healthy substitute for caffeinated or alcoholic beverages. Others are wary of tap water and are suspicious of its health effects.
Although health and safety are foremost among water quality concerns, a significant reason for the increase in bottled water consumption is purely aesthetic. Many consumers object to the taste and smell of their tap water that is often times treated with chlorine and other agents used for sanitization. Some people also believe that using purified water instead of tap water ensures higher quality and better tasting foods and beverages. Therefore, they use bottled water as part of their ingredients to cook or make tea, coffee and ice cubes.
Another reason for using bottled water is that it is convenient and easily accessible and transportable. Bottled water is readily available and can easily be purchased.
Competition
When bottling water for other companies and retail stores (Ralph’s Market, Pathway, Albertson’s, Kirkland, for example), as well as the actual bottle companies (Poland Springs, Crystal Geyser etc.), our competitors will be other bottlers that are currently packing water for others. Many of these competitors have far greater capital resources than we have at this time and for the foreseeable future. However, we hope to have a competitive edge over these companies since our current operating plant lease includes water wells that we expect will meet our production requirements. Our plant facility only needs to have 5-10 percent of waste filtered to produce the quality of water desired, so that for every gallon of water that goes into the bottling line 90 to 95 percent is bottled and only 5 to 10 percent is waste. Additionally, our production facility includes a railroad spur which connects our loading docks to the main railroad station in Hereford which we believe will add an additional competitive advantage in our costs and product pricing. This advantage exists because there is a weight limit on truck loads of 45,000 pounds (usually 53 foot-long trucks), which in the case of a 16.9oz bottle water case, limits the truck carrier to 20 pallets, while on a rail box car we are able to ship three times the load capacity of a truck - 60 pallets per box car. Thus, we believe the cost of transportation by rail will result in a lower total product cost.
Products and Services
During our first year of operation, we will concentrate on producing regular non-carbonated bottled water and flavored non-carbonated bottled water. We intend to produce several sizes of bottled water, including 8 oz., 12 oz., 16.9 oz., 20 oz., 1 liter and 1.5 liter bottles. In addition to plain water, we will be bottling flavored water which has recently become a popular product since it has flavor but no sugar or caffeine. Currently we have nine flavors, including cherry, cherry lime, kiwi watermelon, strawberry kiwi, orange, lemonade and cranberry. Once we have begun shipment of these products, we intend on entering into the alcohol rectifying and distribution sector. To rectify alcohol we will go through the following processes; i) receive in our warehouse 120-180 proof spirit in bulk, ii) mix the alcohol with water and other ingredients (for example the caramel is added to rum to give it its golden color) bringing the proof level to an 80 proof mix, iii) bottle, label pack and ship the finished alcohol bottle in palletized cases.
Currently, we do not own the equipment and supplies to begin production in this sector. We have received a cost estimate on November 13, 2006, which includes all the equipment needed for alcohol rectifying. The bid is for $151,920 and includes the installation and training, which is estimated at total of two to three days. In addition, we will need to hire new personal that can perform in this sector.

The Hereford Facility
On August 1, 2005 the Company executed a lease for the premises located at 3500 Holly Sugar Rd. in Hereford Texas. This lease includes 1,000 square feet of office space, a 71,000 square foot warehouse, six 25,000 gallon liquid juice tanks and related equipment and the water rights from 2 wells. This facility had previously been the site of a sugar beet processing facility, but at the time that we acquired the facilities, there were no active operations.
The lease calls for an initial rental of $ 15,000 per month for six months commencing November 1, 2005 to April 2006 payable in advance for six months on November 1, 2005. Thereafter for the next 24 years, the rent is $25,000 per month, adjustable annually based on the prevailing consumer price index.
In the first four years, the Company has an option to purchase the facility at an amount determined as set out in the lease which is estimated to be approximately $4,590,964. The amount of the purchase price depends upon the prevailing lease rate at the time the option to purchase is exercised.
Of the 71,000 square feet, 40,000 square feet will be allocated to water processing and packaging space made accessible by loading bays and a railroad extension. Another 30,000 square feet will be allocated to the storage of raw materials and finished goods. In addition, the facility has six 25,000-gallon water tanks, 4 water waste ponds, and a five and a half mile railroad spur leading directly from the main railroad station in Hereford to our loading dock. Also on our property is the engine needed to pull and push the train cars between our loading bay and the railroad station. Under this lease we are allowed to pump up to 400,000 gallons of water per day, which translates to approximately 2,900,000 bottles of water 500ml (16oz.) each, per day, after water waste and bottle rinsing water usage. Our current bottling line can handle up to 691,200 bottles of water 500ml (16oz.) per day.
Corporate Office
The Company’s corporate head office is about 2,400 square feet. The premises are leased over three years, ending on December 31 2008. The lease calls for a $2360 per month payment from January 1 2006 to December 31 2006. From January 1 2007 to December 31 2007 the monthly rent is $2432. On the final year from January 1 2008 to December 31 2008 the monthly rent is $2504.
The Geography of Royal Spring Water Wells
The Ogallala Aquifer (pronounced OH-GA-LA-LA) is one of the largest aquifer systems in the world, stretching across parts of eight states including South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas and underlying about 174,000 square miles.
The Ogallala Formation was formed about 10 million years ago, during the geologic time periods of late Miocene and early Pliocene by eastwardly flowing braided streams, which originated in the Rocky Mountains. Coarse-grained sand, gravel, fine clay, silt, and sand were deposited over the pre-Ogallala land surface, which was much like the present-day area just east of the High Plains low, rolling hills, valleys, and streams.
Employees
We presently have fourteen employees at our facility in Hereford, Texas. We may hire up to four additional employees over the next 12 month period. We also plan to supplement our human resources needs through consultants and contractors as needed.

On August 1, 2005 the Company entered into a lease for operating a production facility at 3500 Holly Sugar Rd. in Hereford, Texas with the intention of producing and selling artesian water. This property includes 1,000 square feet of office space, a 70,000 square foot warehouse and production facility, six 25,000 gallon liquid holding tanks and related equipment and the water rights from two artesian wells. The lease calls for an initial rent of $15,000 per month for six months commencing November 1, 2005 to April 2006 payable in advance for six months on November 1, 2005. Thereafter for the next 24 years, the annual rent is $25,000 per month, adjusted annually based on the consumer price index. In the first four years, the Company has an option to purchase the facility at an amount calculated as set forth in the terms of the lease which is estimated to be $4,590,964.
Of the 70,000 square foot space, 40,000 square feet will be allocated to water processing and packaging space made accessible by loading bays and a 5.5 mile railroad spur leading directly from the main railroad station in Hereford to our loading dock. The railroad extension is made available to the Company as a term of the lease and, as a term of the option to purchase the property, will continue to be made available for use as an easement when the Company purchases the property. Also included in the property lease and option to purchase is the train engine needed to pull and push the train cars for our shipping needs which will enable us to keep our shipping cost very low. We have completed all necessary agreements and approvals with BNSF Railway Company (“BNSF”), that serves our facility (http://www.bnsf.com/ ). We will order and schedule the box cars needed for shipment of our products to our customers nationwide using the Electronic Data Interchange service provided by BNSF. The remaining 30,000 square feet of our warehouse has been allocated for storage of raw materials and finished goods.
Under our lease agreement, we are allowed to pump 400,000 gallons of water per day, which equates to approximately 2,900,000 bottles of water (16.9 oz) per day. We believe this will be sufficient to meet the demands of any large orders in the foreseeable future.
During the next twelve months, we intend to concentrate on two products; non-carbonated, plain and flavored bottled water.
Our primary business strategy is focused in two main areas. The first is to offer existing bottled water distribution companies, major retail stores and service oriented businesses the ability to change their current bottled water to a private label in their business name. Additionally, for companies already selling under a private label, we intend to sell our water for a more competitive price and to help increase their bottle water capacity by providing them with an additional source for their water supply. In some of these circumstances, we intend to have the customers provide us with their labels or logo; we will fill the bottles, apply the label and ship the products to the customer. The second part of our marketing and sales strategy is to develop the “Royal Spring Water” brand of bottled water and commence sales of that product in the US and around the world. We will be targeting our product (single serve plastic bottles of 355ml, 500ml, 1liter, 1.5liters, 1gallon) directly to the smaller end user - convenience stores, fast food establishments, gas stations, major clubs and popular restaurants, among others.
A sales team comprised of Company representatives will be put in charge to first work on securing contracts with stores, restaurants and clubs using various promotional tools such as pamphlets, price lists, and samples of our bottled water. Sponsorship is another marketing tool that we will utilize in order to acquire exposure and gain recognition. We expect to be sponsoring concerts, golf tournaments, and dance clubs, etc. We believe that by providing free samples of our bottled water to various groups and venues, we will be able to effectively spread our name and popularity and obtain market penetration. We do not yet have any definitive plans or arrangements for such sponsorship events.
We will also be targeting all major hotel and casino gaming companies in order to provide them with their private labeled bottled water and customized labels (specific hotel-casino names, logos and images). We have contacts in some of the major hotel-casinos in Las Vegas who have already expressed an interest in purchasing water from our company when it becomes available. The hotels and major casinos out-source 100% of their consumable bottled water needs.
The Bottling Process
Our production and bottling facility at the wells is a highly automated plant with an operationally flexible system with high production capacity. The processing and bottling of the water to be captured at the artesian well water facility is divided into various main steps:
Initial capture at the artesian well water where the water is pumped from a depth of approximately 300 to 400 feet, then transferred to the storage location by a system of pipes.
1. | Water is pumped from the aquifer through a network of underground pipes to our treatment plant where it is first filtered through sand traps and stored in indoor holding tanks (one of six 25,000 gallon tanks) prior to the filtration and treatment process to prepare water for the bottling process. This is the primary storage process. |
2. | After the primary storage process, water is pumped to a Multi-Media Filter. Then the water goes through an Activated Carbon Pre-Filter. After that the water continues to a 5-Micron Sediment Filter. It then continues through a Reverse Osmosis and into an Ozone Disinfection system. The treated water is pumped in two 6,000 gallon Stainless Steel Production Water Storage Tanks. The water from there is then transferred to the bottling zone via stainless steel pipes where it passes through Post Activated Carbon Filters and an Ultra-Violet Sterilization system. At this point, the water is ready to be filled into the bottles.. |
3. | The water is then moved to the bottling room which is pressurized and air conditioned (filtered air) to avoid all possible contamination during the bottle filling process. The process consists of rinsing of the bottle using our water that has already been treated using both UV light and Ozonation and media filters. The process continues with the filling of the bottle with the treated water then capping it and labeling it. We then use a laser date coder that assigns each bottle with a batch number, year and time of bottling and expiration date. |
4. | The bottles are then moved to the packing and shipping area where a bundling machine groups the labeled bottles into packs of 6, 12, 24 and 32 bottles, wrapping them in shrink film. The packs are then transferred to a robotic pallet- forming area where they are palletized for shipment. |
5. | Our in house staff maintains a constant control on the quality of the water daily. Weekly, water samples are sent to a certified lab in order to maintain our certification by the EPA, TCEQ and Texas Department of Health authorities. To further guarantee a superior quality product, the laboratory has to process daily chemical and bacteriological analyses on the entire production chain. We are using polyethylene Terephthalate (known as PET) bottles in various sizes - 12oz, 16.9oz 1L and 1.5L. Our current system can also manufacture flavored water and carbonated water. Our capping machines can handle both a regular flat cap as well as a sports cap. We have purchased a Krup stretch blow molder which we will use to blow our PET bottles. The PET bottles are blown from what is called a preform. This is supplied to us by the Ball Corporation, one of the leading PET manufactures. We have made a decision to buy all of our raw materials from US based companies instead of China made products. (see details of our current existing production capacity and potential capacity in the paragraph below entitled “Acquisition or Disposition of Plant and Equipment”) For the first three months of bottling we are using pre blown bottles from ball plastic. We estimate that by around February 2007 our Krup stretch blow molder will be fully operational. We have the tools and the staff to install and run the stretch blow molder. |
Results of Operations for the Twelve Months Ended August 31, 2006
We have no revenue from operations as of the date of this Prospectus and we have relied on and will continue to reply on significant external financing to fund our operations. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 our financing came from non-interest bearing loans from shareholders in the amount of $1,649,609. We generated a net loss of $1,445,977 during the year ended August 31, 2006 and a net loss of $175,537 during the period ended August 31, 2005, for a cumulative loss of $1,621,514 since the inception of the Company. Our operations since inception in 2005 have not generated any revenue as the plant will not be fully operational until the end of November 2006. The revenues from the contracts we have negotiated are on a net 30 basis after the products are received by the customer. We now have an account receivable line of credit for $1,000,000 with American Business Finance LLC out of Oklahoma which will help to speed up cash flow into our account against the payments that are pending on outstanding vendor invoices.
Licensing and Water Rights
Although we have a contract which will allow us to extract water from the land, it did not automatically give us the right to distribute the water. In order to distribute water worldwide and commence business, we obtained certain local licenses. Besides these local necessary licenses, one must pass certain specifications and requirements of the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). This includes a clean and immaculate warehouse, and the use of hygienic filtration, bottling and packing operation systems. We will ensure that all our operations continue to meet and surpass all government requirements. In June 2006, the Company passed the water test required by the state of Texas Commission on Environmental Quality in order to commence production at the Royal Spring Water plant in Hereford, Texas. The test was conducted by the City of Amarillo, Environmental Laboratory No. 48103 over a period of three days. This completed all of the testing and licensing requirements of the various government bodies needed to commence production and sales of our products.
Product Research and Development
In order to obtain high quality products and assure customer satisfaction, we will be using fully automated state of the art machinery. For the past three years, we have spent much of our time, money and efforts into researching the water industry in the U.S. and overseas. As a result, we have acquired broad knowledge about procedures, licenses, machinery, and land. During this time, we have also built strong relationships with key individuals within the government and private sectors related to the water industry. We do not anticipate performing further research and development for any products during the next twelve months.
Acquisition or Disposition of Plant and Equipment
We have purchased a fully automated, state of the art water treatment and bottling system at a cost of $469,218 that is currently in place and has the capacity to bottle up to 144 million bottles per year, based on a bottle size of 16.9 ounces. The plant facility has the water capacity to grow and supply in excess of one billion bottles per year. Our bottling line can handle bottle sizes from 8 ounce bottles to 1.5 liter bottles. This state of the art machinery is fully automated and runs with minimal human intervention. We also purchased a bottle stretch blow molder which enables us to blow our own bottles from preforms. For the first three months of bottling we are using pre blown bottles from ball plastic. We estimate that by around February 2007 our Krup stretch blow molder will be fully operational. We have the tools and the staff to install and run the stretch blow molder.
To date, we have spent approximately $557,000 on the purchase of machinery and equipment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Future Funding Requirements
The Company has funded its operation from loans from our officers and directors and intends to raise additional funds by way of private placements and funding from outside sources. The Company has secured a line of credit of up to $1,000,000 with American Business Finance LLC, located in Oklahoma, to be collateralized by accounts receivable. American Business Finance LLP will purchase 80% of the face value of invoices until Royal Spring Water Inc. is paid. Borrowings will bear a base fee of 2% over base index. This will help to improve cash flows needed for working capital until profitable operations are attained.
Although the Company has no firm commitments from other investors or lenders at this time, the Company believes it will be able to raise sufficient capital to complete assembly of its production facilities and commence production and distribution of its products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional financing or that the amount of any additional financing will be sufficient to accomplish its business objectives or to pay ongoing operating expenses.
From commencement in 2005 to the fiscal year ended 2006, the shareholders of the Company have made loans in the amount of $1,649,609. These funds have been used to meet working capital requirements, acquire bottling equipment and further develop the plant.
The use of these funds from commencement of the business plan to August 31, 2006 is summarized as follows:
Use of funds | | Amount | |
| | | |
Sub-contract costs of plant development | | $ | 20,900 | |
Legal and accounting | | | 240,357 | |
Premises lease costs | | | 165,000 | |
Acquisition of water treatment and bottle filling line | | | 469,218 | |
Acquisition of computer equipment and office furniture | | | 87,650 | |
General and administrative, travel, consulting, telecommunications, occupancy and other sundry expenses | | | 479,426 | |
Marketing and promotion | | | 22,763 | |
| | $ | 1,485,314 | |
Included in general and administrative are costs for filing fees, postage and shipping, office equipment rentals and maintenance. The remaining funds contributed are held as cash and are available for future working capital requirements. Further details of the historical use of funds can be found in the annual-financial statements for the periods ended August 31, 2006 and 2005.
The majority of the infrastructure necessary for the operation of the plant was already in place upon commencement of the lease. The further capital necessary to complete the development of the plant and acquisition of bottling equipment, leading up to operations to commence in November 2006, was funded through the shareholder advances described above.
The following assets are currently in use at our plant:
· | Building - 20,000 square feet three story building attached to the warehouse |
· | Warehouse - 15,000 square feet adjacent to the three story building |
· | Warehouse - additional 36,000 square feet space, added April 2006 |
· | Equipment - six 25,000 gallon liquid holding tanks (4 tanks are inside the building and 2 outside) related water pumps and pipes connecting wells and tanks, motors and agitators |
· | Land and Water Rights - Well #11 and Well #12 located on the real Property |
The Company’s scheduled lease payments from inception of the lease and leading up the purchase date are as follows:
December 1, 2005 - May 31, 2006 | | $ | 90,000 | |
June 1, 2006 - December 31, 2006 | | | 175,000 | |
January 1, 2007 - December 31, 2007 | | | 300,000 | |
January 1, 2008 - December 31, 2008* | | | 310,500 | |
January 1, 2009 - July 31, 2009* | | | 187,464 | |
| | | | |
| | $ | 1,062,964 | |
*CPI is estimated at 3.5% as per most recent full year information available as posted in The Wall Street Journal.
At the end of the first four year period of the lease, the Company intends to purchase, through an available option, the assets at an estimated price of $4,590,964. The actual purchase price will depend upon the prevailing lease rate in effect at the time we exercise our purchase option.
Determination of the classification of the lease:
The Company has determined that the Lease meets the criteria set forth in paragraph 7 (b) of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 13, Accounting for leases, requiring it to be classified as a capital lease. To meet this requirement the lease must meet one of four specific criteria, one of which is the existence of a bargain purchase option, defined as a provision in the lease allowing the lessee, at our option, to purchase the leased property for a price which is sufficiently lower than the expected fair value of the property at the date the option becomes exercisable, and that exercise of the option appears, at the inception of the lease, to be reasonably assured.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.
Going Concern
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, and due to other financial matters such as negative working capital and a cumulative capital deficit, in their report on our audited financial statements for the period ended August 31, 2005, our independent registered accountants included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
The Company corporate office is located at 14553 Delano Street, Suite 217, Van Nuys California. The lease calls for monthly payments of $2,360.95 through December 31, 2006, $2431.78 through December 31, 2007 and 2504.12 through December 31, 2008. The lease expires on December 31, 2008.
On August 1, 2005 the Company entered into a lease for the premises at 3500 Holly Sugar Rd. in Hereford, Texas. This lease includes 1,000 square feet of office space, a 70,000 square foot warehouse and production facility, six 25,000 gallon liquid juice tanks and related equipment and the water rights from Well #11 and Well #12. The lease calls for an initial rent of $15,000 per month for six months commencing November 1, 2005 to April 2006, payable in advance for six months on November 1, 2005. Thereafter, for the next 24 years, the annual rent shall be $25,000 per month, adjusted annually based on the prevailing consumer price index. By April 2009 the Company intends to purchase, through an available option, the premises and facilities in an amount calculated in the lease which is estimated to be $4,590,964.
The existing facility has a total of 71,000 square feet, of which 40,000 square feet will be allocated to water processing and packaging space made accessible by loading bays and a railroad extension. Another 30,000 square feet will be allocated to the storage of raw materials and finished goods and an additional 1,000 for office space. In addition, the property has six 25,000 gallon water tanks, four water waste ponds, and a five and a half-mile railroad spur leading directly from the main railroad station in Hereford to our loading dock. We also have a train engine needed to pull and push the train cars for our shipping needs which will enable us to keep our shipping cost very low. Under our current lease agreement, we are allowed to pump 400,000 gallons of water per day, which amounts to 2,909,090 bottles of water 500ml (16.9 oz.) per day.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies require us to make significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.
Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced losses from operations since inception, and as of August 31, 2006 has a working capital and total capital deficiency, which raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain the financing and strategic alliances necessary to attain profitable operations. Management is pursuing various sources of financing and intends to raise equity financing through a private placement with a private group of investors in the near future. The Company has received letters of intent from potential customers, which management believes will produce the necessary income to attain profitability in the future. Since August 31, 2006, the Company’s principal shareholders/officers have provided approximately $1.65 million in short-term working capital advances and these individuals will continue to provide certain funding as and when required on a short-term basis. The Company has secured a line of credit of up to $1,000,000 with American Business Finance LLC, located in Oklahoma, to be collateralized by invoices signed by buyers. American Business Finance LLC will finance 80% of the face value of the invoice until Royal Spring Water is paid. This will help to improve cash flows needed for working capital until profitable operations are attained. Although the Company has no firm commitments from other investors or lenders at this time, the Company believes it will be able to raise sufficient capital to complete assembly of its production facilities and commence production and distribution of its products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional financing or that the amount of any additional financing will be sufficient to accomplish its business objectives or to pay ongoing operating expenses.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Pervasiveness of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates were used in determining the present value of our capital lease obligation and the allocation of that total cost to the various assets included in the lease.
Development Stage Enterprise
The Company has not earned any revenues from limited principal operations and accordingly, the Company's activities have been accounted for as those of a "Development Stage Enterprise" as set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises (“SFAS No. 7 “). Among the disclosures required by SFAS No. 7 are that the Company's financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operation, stockholders' deficit and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company's inception.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long lived assets are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for indicators of possible impairment by comparison of the carrying amounts to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess carrying value of the asset over the asset's fair value or estimates of future cash flows. We have not identified any such impairment losses to date.
Capital Leases
Capital leases represent those leases under which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets are transferred to the Company. Property, plant and equipment held under capital leases are initially recorded at the present value of the minimum payments at the inception of the leases, with equivalent liabilities categorized as appropriate under current or non-current liabilities. Interest expense, which represents the difference between the minimum payments at the inception of the capital leases and the corresponding fair value of the assets acquired, is allocated to accounting periods over the period of the leases to produce a constant rate of charge on the outstanding balance.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statements and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. As of August 31, 2006, a deferred tax asset of approximately $650,000 (which arises solely as a result of net operating losses), has been entirely offset by a valuation reserve due the uncertainty that this asset will be realized in the future.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company’s financing came from loans from the CEO, Alex Hazan and the CFO, Harel Goldstein, in the amount of $1,649,609. The advances from these directors and shareholders of the Company, to facilitate the payment of debts, are non-interest bearing, unsecured and have no specific terms of repayment. The carrying value of the advances approximates the market value due to the short-term maturity of the financial instruments.
Beginning in April 2005, the Company's directors and shareholders, Alex Hazen and Harel Goldstein, devoted time to the development of the Company. Compensation expense of $10,000 per month between April 2005 and August 2005 and $15,000 per month between September 2005 and August 2006, totaling $170,000 has been recorded from April 2005 to the fiscal year ended August 2006. These directors and shareholders have waived reimbursement and have considered these services as a contribution to capital. Accordingly, the contributions have been recorded as additional paid-in capital.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Our common stock is traded on the pink sheets. Our symbol is RSPG.PK. From January, 2006 through August 31, 2006, our common stock was quoted between a low bid of $.60 per share and a high bid of $2.875 per share. Such over-the-counter quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail markup, markdown, or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. The following chart shows the high and low bid prices per share per calendar quarter from November 2005 to June 30, 2006.
| HIGH BID PRICE (1) | LOW BID PRICE (1) |
Last Quarter 2005 | $1.15 | $ 1.01 |
First Quarter 2006 | $1.58 | $ 0.51 |
Second Quarter 2006 | $1.27 | $ 0.60 |
Shares of our common stock are subject to rules adopted by the SEC that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks”. “Penny stock” is defined to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our common stock is covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities.
At this time there is no set executive compensation package for any of the directors or officers of the Company. The Company currently has no stock option plan or similar plans, nor are there any immediate plans or intentions to establish such compensation arrangements. While the Company has not paid executive compensation, it receives services from its two key officers/shareholders, for which compensation expense is recorded with a corresponding credit to paid-in capital.

PART II
Item 24. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers |
In accordance with Nevada general corporation law, the Company has included a provision in its Certificate of Incorporation to limit the personal liability of its directors for violation of fiduciary duty. The provision serves to eliminate such directors’ liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages, except for (i) any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) acts of omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 being permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.

(a) | The undersigned small business issuer hereby undertakes: |
| (1) | To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to: (i) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act; (ii) reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the Registration Statement; and (iii) include any material or changed information in the plan of distribution. |
| (2) | For determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities as at that time to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (3) | File a post effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. |
(b) | To provide to the underwriter at the Closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as may be required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. |

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel that matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
(d) | The undersigned small business issuer hereby undertakes that it will: |
| (1) | For purposes of determining any liability under the Act that the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Act shall be deemed to be a part of this Registration Statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective. |
| (2) | For the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, that each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities. |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Royal Spring Water Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Royal Spring Water Inc. (formerly Easy.com, Inc.) (A Development Stage Company) as of August 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2006 and for the period from April 20, 2005 (date of inception) to August 31, 2005. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstance, but not for 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 audits provide 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 Royal Spring Water Inc. (formerly Easy.com, Inc.) (A Development Stage Company) as of August 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2006 and for the period from April 20, 2005 (date of inception) to August 31, 2005 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 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses, negative working capital, and total capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Note 1 also describes management’s plans to address these financial matters. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company restated its 2005 consolidated financial statements to correct the accounting treatment applied to a business combination.

ROYAL SPRING WATER INC. (FORMERLY EASY.COM, INC.)
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
ORGANIZATION
Easy.com, Inc. (“Easy”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 9, 2000. Easy was a non-operating shell corporation with nominal net assets prior to June 2005, when Easy acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the assets of Royal Spring Water Inc., a Nevada company (“RSW” or the “Company”).
Royal Spring Water Inc. was established on April 20, 2005 with a clear mission, namely to extract, process, and bottle water of supreme quality.
BUSINESS COMBINATION
On June 30, 2005, Easy acquired all of the outstanding stock of RSW (the "Reverse Merger"). Easy completed the acquisition by having the shareholders of RSW surrender 100% of their common stock to the company. In anticipation of the Reverse Merger, on September 2, 2004 the shareholders of Easy gifted stock to the shareholders of RSW, giving these shareholders and their family members control of Easy. For accounting purposes, pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business Combinations, the acquisition has been treated as a recapitalization of RSW with RSW recognized as the accounting acquirer (reverse acquisition). A reverse acquisition occurs if a company other than the legal acquirer is deemed to be the “accounting acquirer” in a business combination effected by the issuance of voting securities. In this regard, RSW is considered the accounting acquirer and Easy is considered the accounting target. The historical financial statements prior to June 30, 2005 are those of RSW.
GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced losses from operations since inception, and as of August 31, 2006 has a working capital and total capital deficiency, which raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain the financing and strategic alliances necessary to attain profitable operations. Management is pursuing various sources of financing and intends to raise equity financing through a private placement with a private group of investors in the near future. The Company has received letters of intent from potential customers, which management believes will produce the necessary income to attain profitability in the future. Since August 31, 2006, the Company’s principal shareholders/officers have provided approximately $1.65 million in short-term working capital advances and these individuals will continue to provide certain funding as and when required on a short-term basis. The Company has secured a line of credit of up to $1,000,000 with American Business Finance LLC, located in Oklahoma, to be collateralized by invoices signed by buyers. American Business Finance LLC will finance 80% of the face value of the invoice until Royal Spring Water is paid. This will help to improve cash flows needed for working capital until profitable operations are attained. Although the Company has no firm commitments from other investors or lenders at this time, the Company believes it will be able to raise sufficient capital to complete assembly of its production facilities and commence production and distribution of its products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional financing or that the amount of any additional financing will be sufficient to accomplish its business objectives or to pay ongoing operating expenses.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Royal Spring Water Inc., a Nevada corporation and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated.
The Company has not earned any revenues from limited principal operations and accordingly, the Company's activities have been accounted for as those of a "Development Stage Enterprise" as set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises (“SFAS No. 7 “). Among the disclosures required by SFAS No. 7 are that the Company's financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operation, stockholders' deficit and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company's inception.
ROYAL SPRING WATER INC. (FORMERLY EASY.COM, INC.) (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERVASIVENESS OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates were used in determining the present value of our capital lease obligation and the allocation of that total cost to the various assets included in the lease.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be all highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three (3) months or less.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to operations as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized when incurred. Depreciation, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, is provided using the straight line method over the following useful lives:
Equipment under capital lease | 5 years |
Locomotive under capital lease | 5 years |
Building under capital lease | 25 years |
Furniture and equipment | 5 years |
Computer | 2 years |
Software | 1 year |
LONG LIVED ASSETS
Long lived assets are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for indicators of possible impairment by comparison of the carrying amounts to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess carrying value of the asset over the asset's fair value or estimates of future cash flows. We have not identified any such impairment losses to date.
CAPITAL LEASES
Capital leases represent those leases under which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets are transferred to the Company. Property, plant and equipment held under capital leases are initially recorded at the present value of the minimum payments at the inception of the leases, with equivalent liabilities categorized as appropriate under current or non-current liabilities. Interest expense, which represents the difference between the minimum payments at the inception of the capital leases and the corresponding fair value of the assets acquired, is allocated to accounting periods over the period of the leases to produce a constant rate of charge on the outstanding balance.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statements and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. As of August 31, 2006, a deferred tax asset of approximately $650,000 (which arises solely as a result of net operating losses), has been entirely offset by a valuation reserve due the uncertainty that this asset will be realized in the future.
ROYAL SPRING WATER INC. (FORMERLY EASY.COM, INC.)
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
LOSS PER SHARE
The Company accounts for earnings per share pursuant to SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which requires disclosure on the financial statements of "basic" and "diluted" earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to stock options and warrants for each year.
There were no potentially dilutive financial instruments for the period ended August 31, 2006 and 2005.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of our financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities approximated their respective fair values at each balance sheet date due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of lease obligations is based on current rates at which we could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations in March 2005. FIN 47 clarifies that an entity must record a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. This interpretation also clarifies the circumstances under which an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. This Interpretation is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principles, unless this would be impracticable. This statement also makes a distinction between "retrospective application" of an accounting principles and the "restatement" of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2005. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.
On November 3, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position on SFAS 115 and 124, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments (FSP FAS 115-1 and 124-1). This FSP addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. It is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.
On February 16, 2006 the FASB issued SFAS 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments which amends SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS 133 and SFAS 140. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect its adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FIN 48 may have on its financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB 108 requires that public companies utilize a "dual-approach" to assessing the quantitative effects of financial misstatements. This dual approach includes both an income statement focused assessment and a balance sheet focused assessment. The guidance in SAB 108 must be applied to annual financial statements for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

ROYAL SPRING WATER INC. (FORMERLY EASY.COM, INC.)
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In August 2005, the Company entered into a land, building and equipment lease agreement for a facility to be used for production and head office. This four-year lease commenced August 1, 2005, and is classified as a capital lease as it contains a bargain purchase option (see note 4). As of August 31, 2006, future obligations under the terms of this lease aggregated $5,488,929, including $1,627,404 in interest.
NOTE 8. | CONTINGENT LIABILITY |
In February of 2006, our former Chief Operating Officer filed a complaint against the Company, for, among other things, breach of employment agreement. The complaint was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court, Santa Monica Division and seeks unspecified damages. The Company filed a cross complaint against this individual for fraud, misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty. We recently made an offer of settlement to plaintiff, to which a response has not been received. The Company is in the process of conducting discovery. We do not believe that this litigation will be material to our financial position, operations, or cash flows. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the interest of the Company.
NOTE 9. | RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The Company has restated its financial statements for the period ended August 31, 2005 due to an error in the accounting treatment of the business combination of Easy.com Inc. and Royal Spring Water Inc. Previously the company had accounted for this transaction as a common control business combination and had presented the combined historical financial statements of both companies. The Company subsequently determined that, because the two companies became related through a transaction in anticipation of the Reverse Merger that accounting for the Reverse Merger as a common control transaction was not appropriate. The statements have therefore been restated to reflect the transaction as a recapitalization of Royal Spring Water Inc. The effect of this correction was a reduction of additional paid-in capital, cumulative loss and deficit in the amount of $14,319. There was no effect on reported assets or liabilities.
As a result of the restatement of the August 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit balances have been reclassified to include the historical financial statements of Royal Spring Water Inc. since April 20, 2005 (inception). The historical financial statements previously reported were those of the combined entities. The restatement had no effect on the previously reported net loss for the period ended August 31, 2005.
On November 21, 2006, the Company entered into a financing agreement with a commercial finance company (“Finance Co.”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may sell accounts receivable to Finance Co. for a fee ranging from 1.1% to 1.75% of the face value of the accounts sold. Finance Co. will advance the Company 80% of the face value of the accounts sold to an aggregate maximum of $1 million. The remaining 20% will be held by Finance Co. in a reserve account until the account is collected or until the funds mature, which is generally within 30 to 90 days. Advances will bear interest at a base index rate, as defined in the agreement, plus 2% per annum. The minimum aggregate annual borrowing rate on advances shall be 10.25%. Accounts are generally to be sold without recourse, and Finance Co. will be responsible for collection, assumes all credit risk (except where a dispute exists), and obtains rights and remedies against the Company’s customers. Trade accounts receivable not sold to Finance Co. will remain in the custody and control of the Company, and the Company will maintain all credit risk and collection responsibility on those accounts.
