PART I
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS
General Business Development
Northsight is a development stage company incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 21, 2008. We were formed to engage in the business of marketing, developing, and producing unique, proprietary water products, each of which will have a health benefit to the consumer. Northsight 146;s intended line of enhanced bottled waters is based upon the experience and expertise of our founder, designed to make everyday hydration and nutrition a more enjoyable experience. In May of 2008 we commenced our development stage operations, and therefore have no significant assets.
Since our inception on May 21, 2008 through December 31, 2009, we have not generated any revenues and have incurred net losses of $280,829. In May of 2008 our only business activity was the formation of our corporate entity and the development of our business model. On July 11, 2008 we filed an S-1 Registration Statement with the SEC and the registration statement became effective on July 21, 2008. We anticipate the commencement of generating revenues in the next twelve months, of which we can provide no assurance. The capital we raised in the filed registration statement has been budgete d to cover the costs associated with the offering, travel expenses, product development, working capital, and covering various filing fees and transfer agent fees.
Current Business Operations
On November 7, 2008, we closed our direct public offering and were able to raise $55,000 as proposed. The proceeds of the offering enabled us to maintain our operations and working capital requirements for approximately 12 months. During that time, we investigated various financing options and opportunities. No business operations have occurred nor has any revenue been generated.
Principal Products and Services
We intend to introduce a new line of enhanced bottled water products to the grocery and retail markets. We are continuing to develop a line of enhanced bottled waters using a cold fill process. Using the cold fill process, Northsight is intending to transform the bottled water industry by offering proprietary enhanced bottled water. With an appropriate level of capital resources from outside investors, our primary business focus will be on establishing our initial products.
4
According to Mr. Nickolas, our sole officer and director, Northsight’s first product formulations are intended to be as follows:
·
Lean Water for Weight Management-Weight Management Water is a product being formulated to build lean muscle mass, suppress appetite and promote optimum intestinal health. It will combine Super Citrimax appetite suppressor, increased calcium and magnesium absorption and support to a healthy digestive system. Each bottle is intended to deliver 750mgs of active ingredients.
·
Joint Health Water-Joint Health Water is being formulated to contain Regenasure, a proprietary form of Glucosamine Hydrochloride. Glucosamine Hydrochloride is a unique fermentation derived glucosamine. It is produced from a vegetable source and is the only non-animal, non-shellfish derived glucosamine hydrochloride. Glucosamine alleviates joint pain by re-building the collagen in sour elbows and knees. Each 500 ml bottle is being formulated to contain 750mgs of glucosamine. Two bottles would deliver the 100% daily dosage of glucosamine recommended by health professionals.
·
Immune Water-Immune Booster Water is being formulated to contain a combination of Calcium Lactate Gluconate, Ascorbic Acid, Maca Extract, Zinc Aspartate, Selenium Chelated Amino Acid, Sun-Active Iron, Ortho Silicilic Acid (extracted from bamboo) and Germanium. These ingred ients are ideal in promoting a healthy immune system over a period of time.
·
Calcium w/Minerals Water-Calcium with Minerals Water contains Aquamin, a natural calcified mineral source. Harvested off the west coast of Ireland, Aquamin is a product of vegetable origin that provides bioactive calcium, magnesium and trace minerals for bone health and overall wellness. We intend to formulate a product that ensures that the calcium is completely dissolved and bio-available. Each 500 ml bottle contains 350mgs of Aquamin
·
Digestive Health w/Fiber Water-Digestive Health (w/Fiber) Water is being formulated to contain Frutafit, a fructo-oligosacchride from Chicory Root. Frutafit is a soluble, pre-biotic complex carbohydrate that promotes digestive health by selectively increasing beneficial bacteria (bifidous) while decreasing harmful bacteria (E. coli, salmonella, etc.). This in turn regulates gut health and helps to prevent both constipation and diarrhea. Each 500 ml bottle is being formulated to contain 2500mgs of dietary fiber. Two bottles, when available, will contain a fiber content of 5g that will represent 20% of the 25g daily intake of fiber recommended by health professionals.
·
Fresh o2 Breath Freshening Water-Fresh o2 Breath Freshening Water is being formulated to contain a sensate needed for strong teeth and good oral care with a unique ability to create tasteless water that actually refreshes the palette without incorporating a flavor. The refreshing taste of menthol without the taste.
·
Glucose Regulator Water-Glucose Regulator Water is being formulated to contain Chromium. Chromium is an essential trace mineral that aids in the glucose metabolism, regulation of insulin’s action and the healthy blood glucose and triglyceride levels. This product can be used by both diabetics and athletes as chromium is vital f or the transportation of glucose into cells (energy), regulating blood sugar levels, increasing insulin sensitivity, reducing body fat and increasing lean muscle mass. Each 500 ml bottle contains 100mcgs of active ingredient.

Distribution Methods and Marketing
Northsight’s future products are intended to bring news and excitement to the categories in which it competes. Consumers are seeking new products that offer convenience and added health benefits. Northsight intends to introduce new product entries as research and funds permit. They will all leverage the unique access to cold–fill, enhanced bottled water, which has been formulated by Mr. Nickolas. Northsight’s product strategy is to deliver enhanced bottled water which leverages prevailing industry trends, which are conveniently incorporated into the average American lifestyle. Northsight is focused on finding ways to bring more health conscious products into the market. The proposed product line will establish a solid base from which the Company will extend its brand and build a franchise with line extensions and new products.
Once the initial products are established, Northsight plans on obtaining shelving space for our products in major grocery centers in Arizona and California. Secondary focus will be on other areas, to help build necessary distribution by year 5.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers
Once Northsight has raised enough capital to begin production of its intended products, we will need to purchase beverage flavors and raw materials for our packaging and labeling, which will most likely be supplied by independent suppliers. It is Northsight’s intention to locate two or more sources for the manufacture and packaging of our products.
Northsight intends to produce its products by utilizing a cold fill process. One of the primary benefits of the organic cold fill process is the ability to utilize a cold fill beverage plant as opposed to a hot fill or aseptic manufacturing facility to make the Northsight line of products. Northsight will be con tracting with an appropriate facility. We are looking for a facility which is equipped to handle capacity of 120 bottles per minute, or the equivalent of 1.3 million cases per year, on a two shift, five days per week basis.
Intellectual Property
Upon completion of our brand development, we will regard substantial elements of our brands and underlying intellectual property as proprietary and attempt to protect them by relying on trademark, service mark and trade secret laws, restrictions on disclosure and transferring title and other methods. We currently do not have any intellectual property we consider proprietary, as we are currently in our development stage.
Personnel
We are a development stage company and currently have only one part-time employee, Steve Nickolas, who is also our sole officer and director. We look to Mr. Nickolas for his entrepreneurial skills and talents. Initially Mr. Nickolas will coordinate all of our business operation and has provided the working capital to cover our initial expense.
We plan to use consultants, attorneys, accountants, and technology personnel, as necessary and do not plan to engage any additional full-time employees in the near future. We believe the use of non-salaried personnel allows us to expend our capital resources as a variable cost as opposed to a fixed cost of operations. In other words, if we have insufficient revenues or cash available, we are in a better position to only utilize those services required to generate revenues as opposed to having salaried employees. We may hire marketing employees based on the projected size of the market and the
6
compensation necessary to retain qualified sales employees; however, we do not intend to hire these individuals within the next 12 months. A portion of any employee compensation likely would include the right to acquire our stock, which would dilute the ownership interest of holders of existing shares of our common stock.
Competition and Market Overview
The beverage industry is highly competitive, altho ugh it may be undergoing a substantial change with regards to consumers and U.S. regulatory bodies that are increasingly recommending health conscious diets. Our intended beverage products will compete not only with other similar beverages, but also with other types of beverages, including soft drinks, coffee, beer, wine, and fruit juices. The principal areas of competition are pricing, packaging, development of new products and flavors, and marketing campaigns. Our products compete with a wide range of drinks produced by a relatively large number of manufacturers, most of which have substantially greater financial, marketing, and distribution resources than we do.
Unlike the typical consumer who thinks of bottled water as a commodity product strictly for hydration purposes, Northsight’s products will be packaged and marketed for individuals who take an active role in their own or their f amily’s wellness and health. This customer base has become more widely targeted over the past few years as large consumer companies have created products specifically for this audience. These efforts have generated a much broader awareness of enhanced waters, laying the groundwork for a superior product, such as the line Northsight intends to offer.
Government Regulation
We anticipate that our products will be required to comply with applicable laws in the United States. Flavored or enhanced waters are subject to a number of strict federal, state and industry regulations. These serve to ensure that the product is consistent in public safety and quality. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulate flavored and enhanced waters as a packaged food product. Flavored and enhanced water s also must meet state regulations that, in some cases, are more stringent than the prevailing FDA and EPA standards. We also anticipate that the FDA will regulate the labeling of our products.
Government Regulation of Bottled Water
Prior to 1996, bottled water was regulated in the same fashion as municipal water. Municipal water is regulated not as a food by the FDA, but as a commodity by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act which only provided for certain mineral/chemical content requirements so as to ensure water safety, not product definition.
In 1996, the United States enacted statutes and regulations to regulate bottled water as a food. Accordingly, bottled water mu st meet FDA standards for manufacturing practices and chemical and biological purity. Furthermore, these standards undergo a continuous process of revision. The labels affixed to bottles and other packaging of the water is subject to FDA restrictions on health and nutritional claims for foods.
As of 1996, bottled water is fully regulated as a food by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FFDCA”) 21 U.S.C. 301. The FFDCA defines food as "articles used for food or drink for man or other animals." This includes bottled water sold in containers at retail outlets as well as containers distributed to the home and office market. This legislation was designed to ensure that bottled water companies clearly and accurately define the type of water that was being bottled and sold to the
7
public. The FDA adopted the basic mineral/chemical guidelines employed by the EPA, while making some aspects more stringent.
Bottled water is also subject to state and local regulation. Bottled water must originate from an “approved source” in accordance with standards prescribed by the state health department in each of the states in which the Company’s products will be sold. The source must be inspected and the water sampled, analyzed and found to be of safe and wholesome quality. There are annual compliance monitoring tests of both the source and the bottled water. The health departments of the individual states also govern water purity and safety, labeling of bo ttled water products and manufacturing practices of producers.
Government Regulation of Enhanced Beverages
Enhanced beverages are regulated in similar fashion to bottled water, with the primary exception being the wording on the label as the determinant factor as to the type of product the beverage is perceived to be. In the event structure or function claims are made on the packaging or advertising (i.e. “helps to lose weight” or “helps to prevent cancer”), the product must then be treated and packaged as a nutritional supplement, which is regulated under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA).
For decades, the Food and Drug Administration regulated d ietary supplements as foods, in most circumstances, to ensure that they were safe and wholesome, and that their labeling was truthful and not misleading. An important facet of ensuring safety was FDA’s evaluation of the safety of all new ingredients, including those used in dietary supplements, under the 1958 Food Additive Amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). However, with passage of the Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), Congress amended the FD&C Act to include several provisions that apply only to dietary supplements and dietary ingredients of dietary supplements. As a result of these provisions, dietary ingredients used in dietary supplements are no longer subject to the premarket safety evaluations required of other new food ingredients or for new uses of old food ingredients. They must, however, meet the requirements of other safety provisions.
The provisions of DSHEA define dietary supplements and dietary ingredients; establish a new framework for assuring safety; outline guidelines for literature displayed where supplements are sold; provide for use of claims and nutritional support statements; require ingredient and nutrition labeling; and grant FDA the authority to establish good manufacturing practice regulations. The law also requires formation of an executive level Commission on Dietary Supplement Labels and an Office of Dietary Supplements within the National Institutes of Health.
In such case, the packaging on the product must denote the product as a “Dietary Supplement,” and the ingredient and nutritional information must be disclosed in a portion of the packaging known as a “Supplement Facts” box. In the event there are no structure or function claims, the product can then be sold as a beverage, wit h all appropriate information detailed on the label in a “Nutrition Facts” box. Other details, such as whether a product is an enhanced water is a true “water” or a “water drink” are vague. Enhanced waters are also subject to certain bottled water classifications, depending upon the claims and disclosures of the types of water used in the product (i.e. spring water, purified water, etc.).

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
R isks Relating with Our Business and Marketplace
We are a development stage company organized in May 2008 and have recently commenced operations, which makes an evaluation of us extremely difficult. At this stage of our business operations, even with our good faith efforts, we may never become profitable or generate any significant amount of revenues, thus potential investors have a high probability of losing their investment.
We were incorporated in May of 2008 as a Nevada corporation. As a result of our start-up operations we have generated no revenues and we have incurred a net loss $151,952 for the year ended December 31, 2009. We have been focused on organizational and start-up activities, business plan development, and development of our products since we incorpo rated. Although we have commenced the development of our enhanced bottle water product lines, there is nothing at this time on which to base an assumption that our business operations will prove to be successful or that we will ever be able to operate profitably. Our future operating results will depend on many factors, including our ability to raise adequate working capital, demand for our products, the level of our competition and our ability to attract and maintain key management and employees.
We will require additional financing in order to implement our business plan. In the event we are unable to acquire additional financing, we may not be able to implement our business plan resulting in a loss of revenues and ultimately the loss of your investment.
Due to our status as a dev elopment stage company, we will have to incur the costs of product development, production expenses, advertising, all which are intended to generate revenues from our products, in addition to hiring new employees and commencing additional marketing activities for product sales and distribution. To fully implement our business plan we will require substantial additional funding. The direct public offering of $55,000, only enabled us to commence our product development however, it was not sufficient to allow us to further develop our initial business operations, including the enhancement of product lines, and was not sufficient to allow us to expand our business meaningfully. Additionally, since the net offering proceeds were earmarked for travel, accounting, legal, product development, and minimal working capital, we were not capitalized sufficiently to hire or pay employees.
We are seeking to raise additional funds to expand our operations. We plan to raise additional funds through private placements, registered offerings, debt financing or other sources to maintain and expand our operations. Adequate funds for this purpose on terms favorable to us may not be available, and if available, on terms significantly more adverse to us than are manageable. Without new funding, we may be only partially successful or completely unsuccessful in implementing our business plan, and our stockholders will lose part or all of their investment.
Our auditor’s have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, our auditor’s report reflects that the ability of Northsight to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues.
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our auditor’s report reflects that the ability of Northsight to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, investors will lose their
9
investment. We will be required to seek additional capital to fund future growth and expansion. No assurance can be given that such financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on commercially favorable terms. Moreover, favorable financing may be dilutive to investors.
We are significantly dependent on our sole officer and director, Mr. Steve Nickolas. The loss or unavailability to Northsight of Mr. Nickolas’ services would have an adverse effect on our business, operations and prospects in that we may not be able to obtain new management under the same financial arrangements.
Our business plan is significantly dependent upon the abilities and continued participation of Steve Nickolas, our president. It would be difficult to replace Mr. Nickolas at such an early stage of development of Northsight. The loss by or unavailability to Northsight of Mr. Nickolas’ services would have an adverse effect on our business, operations and prospects, in that our inability to replace Mr. Nickolas could result in the loss of one’s investment. Additionally, our business plan is significantly dependent upon the abilities and continued participation of Mr. Nickolas, which the loss or unavailability of Mr. Nickolas could materially impact our business operations.
There can be no assurance that we would be able to locate or employ personnel to replace Mr. Nickolas, should his services be discontinued. In the event that we are unable to locate or employ personnel to replace Mr. Nickolas, then we may be required to cease pursuing our business opportunity.
Mr. Nickolas has no experience in running a public company. The lack of experience in operating a public company could impact our return on investment, if any.
As a result of our reliance on Mr. Nickolas, and his lack of experience in operating a public company, our investors are at risk in losing their entire investment. Mr. Nickolas intends to hire personnel in the future, when sufficiently capitalized, who may have the experience required to manage our company; however, such management is not anticipated until the occurrence of future financing. Since the offering of $55,000 did not sufficiently capitalized our company, future offerings will be necessary to satisfy capital needs. Until such future offering occurs, and until such management is in place, we are reliant upon Mr. Nickolas to make the appropriate management decisions.
Mr. Nickolas may become i nvolved with other businesses and there can be no assurance that he will continue to provide services to us. Mr. Nickolas’ limited time devotion to Northsight could have the effect on our operations of preventing us from being a successful business operation, which ultimately could cause a loss of your investment.
As compared to many other public companies, we do not have the depth of managerial or technical personnel. Mr. Nickolas is currently involved in other businesses, which have not, and are not expected in the future to interfere with Mr. Nickolas’ ability to work on behalf of our company. Mr. Nickolas may in the future be involved with other businesses and there can be no assurance that he will continue to provide services to us. Mr. Nickolas will devote only a portion of his time to our activities.
As a result of Mr. Nickolas’ majority ownership of our outstanding common shares even after the offering of $55,000, Mr. Nickolas will control our issuance of securities.
Mr. Nickolas owns approximately 54% of our outstanding common shares after the completion of the $55,000 direct public offering. As a consequence of Mr. Nickolas’ controlling stock ownership position, acting alone he will be able to authorize the issuance of securities that may dilute and otherwise adversely affect the rights of purchasers of stock in the offering, including preferred stock. Additionally,
10
he may authorize the issuance of securities to anyone he wishes, including himself and his affiliates at prices significantly less than the offering price.
As a consequence of his stock ownership position, Mr. Nickolas retains the ability to elect a majority of our board of directors, and thereby control our management. These individuals will also initially have the ability to control the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including mergers and other changes of corporate control, going private transactions, and other extraordinary transactions. The concentration of ownership by these individuals could discourage investments in our company, or prevent a potential takeover of our company which will have a negative impact on the value of our securities.
Because of competitive pressures from competitors with more resources, Northsight may fail to implement its business model profitably.
The business of developing bottled water product lines is highly fragmented and extremely competitive. There are numerous competitors offering similar products. The market for customers is intensely competitive and such competition is expected to continue to increase. There are no substantial barriers to entry in this market and we believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors within and beyond our control, including the timing and market acceptance of enhanced water products developed by us, our competitors, and their advisors.
Many of our existing and potential competitors have longer operating histories in the beverage markets, greater name recognition, larger customer bases, established product lines, and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. As a result, they will be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging advertising techniques, and changes in customer demands, or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and marketing of their products than we can. Such competitors are able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns for their products, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and make more attractive offers to potential store outlets, and strategic distribution partners.
We anticipate that our sales, if and when they begin, will be affected by seasonality.
The beverage industry generally experiences its highest sales by volume d uring the spring and summer months and its lowest sales by volume during winter months. As a result, our working capital requirements and cash flow may vary substantially throughout the year. Consumer demand for our products may be affected by weather conditions. Cool, wet spring or summer weather could result in decreased sales of our products and could have an adverse effect on our financial position. Additionally, due to the seasonality of the industry, results from any one or more quarters may not necessarily indicative of annual results of continuing trends.
Risks Relating to our Common Stock
There is no current public market for our common stock; therefore you may be unable to sell your securities at any time, for any reason, and at any price, resulting in a loss of your investment.
Even though our securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, there can be no assurance that a market will develop for the common stock or that a market in the common stock will be maintained. As a result of the foregoing, investors may be unable to liquidate their investment for any reason.
11
Our common stock could be deemed a low-priced “Penny” stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.
In the event when our securities are accepted for trading in the over-the-counter market, trading of our common stock may be subject to certain provisions of the Securities Exchange act of 1934, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” as defined in Rule 3a51-1. It therefore will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment even if and when a market develops for the common stock. A penny stock is generally defined to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:
·
Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;
·
Disclose certain price information about the stock;
·
Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;
·
Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and
·
In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.
Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our a bility to raise additional capital in the future.
Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting pri nciples and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Northsight; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of Northsight are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of Northsight, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Northsight’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
We have one individual performing the functions of all officers and directors. This individual developed our internal control procedures a nd is responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with those procedures. As a result, our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

PROPERTIES
We currently maintain an office at 14301 North 87th Street, Suite 301, Scottsdale, Arizona. This office is also shared with another entity owned and controlled by our officer and director, Steve Nickolas. During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we agreed to pay a pro rata amount of administrative expenses to the related entity. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we paid approximately $22,000 in rent to the related entity, which covered a portion of rent, utilities, telephone and general services provided to Northsight. We do not believe that we will need to obtain additional office space at any time in the foreseeable future, approximately 12 months, until our business plan is more fully implemented.
In the future we anticipate requiring additional office space and additional personnel; however, it is unknown at this time how much space or how many individuals will be required.
ITEM 3.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us, which may materially affect us.

Market Information
Our common shares were approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board on May 12, 2009, and are currently quoted for trading under the symbol “NCAP”. Because the Company was not approved for quotation until May 12, 2009, the Company does not have a history of high and low bids for our common stock for the periods required under Item 201 of Regulation S-K. High and low bids on the OTC Bulletin Board quotations reflect inter-dealer prices without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not represent actual transactions. Our common shares are issued in registered form. The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Pacific Stock Transfer Company (Telepho ne: (702) 361-3003; Facsimile: (702) 433-1979). Our common shares were approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board on May 12, 2009. The first trade of our stock on the OTC Bulletin Board as indicated on Yahoo Finance occurred on November 23, 2009.

Holders of Common Stock
As of April 12, 2010, we had approximately 29 stockholders of record of the 1,400,000 shares outstanding.
Dividends
No cash dividends have been paid by our company on our common stock. We anticipate that our company’s future earnings will be retained to finance the continuing development of our business. The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our company’s board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, any contractual restrictions, the success of business activity, regulatory and corporate law requirements and the general financial condition of our company. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends on the common stock will ever be paid.

ITEM 7.
PLAN OF OPERATION
As mentioned above, Northsight is developing a line of enhanced bottled waters. Made with a cold-fill, proprietary filling process, our waters are exceptional means of hydration. Our product line has been designed and developed for the North American lifestyle, and is targeted to enter the mainstream beverage market. The line is intended to add sales for retailers, through the introduction of a newer grocery category (enhanced bottled waters), to established beverage categories.
Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months. Our plan of operation has provided for us to: (i) develop a business plan, and (ii) establish a line of products which can b e produced in Phoenix, Arizona, as soon as practical. We have accomplished the goal of developing our business plan; however, we continue in the early stages of setting up an operational company capable of providing products available for sale to the general public. We do not have sufficient cash to enable us to development significant inventory, which is an integral part of our operations.
Our officer and director, Mr. Nickolas has agreed to continue his part time work until such time as there are either sufficient funds from operations, or alternatively, that funds are available through private placements or another offering in the future. We have not allocated any pay for Mr. Nickolas out of the funds being raised in the offering; however we did pay $100 to Mr. Nickolas as compensation for his services to the Company. If we were to not receive any additional funds, including the funds from the offering, we could continue in business for the next 12 months. However, we would not be in a position
14
to complete the inventory as set forth in our business plan, or provide any significant advertisement for our customers, thus we would not anticipate any significant revenues.
Summary of any product research and development that we will perform for the term of the plan. We do not anticipate performing any significant product research and development under our plan of operation in the near future. In lieu of product research and development we anticipate maintaining contro l over our current line of products, to assist us in determining the allocation of our limited inventory dollars.
Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment. We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment; as such items are not required by us at this time or in the next 12 months.
Significant changes in number of employees. The number of employees required to operate our business is currently one part time individual. We anticipate requiring additional capital within the next 12 months to hire at least one full time person. Additionally, we anticipate the need for additional personnel upon certain events occurring such as: commencement of our product development program and the e stablishment of an advertising campaign, which we anticipate to occur during the next 12 months.
Capital needs. Following our receipt of the net funds from our offering of $50,000, we intended to continue expansion of our business plan and prepare for the production of our product lines and creation of inventory. We have been unable to prepare for the production of our product lines and creation of inventory with the resources available to us.
Further development of our business operations will require additional equity and/or debt financing in the approximate sum of $100,000 to $200,000. If, and when we raise the $100,000, we intend to pay our President a salary of $25,000 per year. There are no accruals for past salary, and the commencement date of s uch salary would not occur until such time as the additional funds are acquired. An additional $20,000 would be allocated toward salaries, and the balance of $55,000 would be utilized for legal, accounting, website enhancements, inventory development and general office expenses. In the event an additional $100,000 were raised (in addition to the $100,000 referenced above), we would allocate the 2nd $100,000 primarily to additional inventory, office space and additional staff. We anticipate that it will take us approximately 90 days after the funding referenced to expand our inventory, hire personnel, and obtain office space.
Our Plan of Operation is premised upon having inventory dollars available and we believe that the inventory dollars allocated in the offering will assist us in generating revenues. We have suffered start up losses and have a working capital deficiency which rais es substantial concern regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
If we are successful in raising funds through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, such financing(s) may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of the outstanding shares of the Company. At this time we have no earmarked source for these funds. Additionally, there is no guarantee that we will be able to locate additional funds. In the event we are unable to locate additional funds, we will be unable to generate revenues sufficient to operate our business as planned. For example, if we receive less than $100,000 of the funds, we would be unable to significantly expand our inventory levels. Alternatively, we may be required to reduce the payments of salary to our President and cover legal and accounting fees required to continue our operations. There is still no assurance that, even with the fu nds from the offering, we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on their investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As noted above, the Company is in the development stage and, accordingly, has not yet generated revenues from operations. Since its incep tion, the Company has been engaged substantially in financing activities and developing its business plan, setting up its internet website, and incurring start up costs and expenses. As a result, the Company incurred accumulated net losses from May 21, 2008 (Inception) through the period ended December 31, 2009 of ($280,829). In addition, the Company’s development activities since inception have been financially sustained through equity financing.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the fourth quarter of 2008, we closed our direct public offering which gave us cash of approximately $50,000.
Additionally, we received $55,000 from a third party loan in October 2008. The third party note was due 90 days from the date of execution. The Company has not repaid the third party note and the lender has the option of (i) demanding payment of $65,000 in cash which represents the repayment of the principal amount plus $10,000 of interest, (ii) demanding payment of $60,000 in cash plus 50,000 shares of common stock, which represents repayment of principal plus interest of $5,000 in cash plus stock valued at $5,000, (iii) converting the entire amount of the note plus any accrued interest into 165,000 shares of common stock, which is valued at $16,500, or (iv) converting 50% of the note into 82,500 shares of com mon stock and demanding that the remaining amount will be repaid in cash. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had not repaid the note and the lender had not notified the Company of their repayment option.
Additionally, we received a total of $31,653 and $1,440 from a related party loan during the year ended December 31, 2009 and May 21, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008, respectively. The loans are all due upon demand, but have interest rates varying from 0% to 12% per annum. During the year ended December 31, 2009 and May 21, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008, the Company repaid $4,700 and $53, respectively, for the related party loans.
Since inception, we have financed our cash flow requirements through issuance of commo n stock. As we expand our activities, we may, and most likely will, continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending receipt of product sales. Additionally, we anticipate obtaining additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings, to the extent available, or to obtain additional financing to the extent necessary to augment our working capital.
We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next twelve months. Our lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Such risks for us include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the manageme nt of growth. To address these risks, we must, among other things, obtain a customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continually develop our line of enhanced bottle
16
waters, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions.

The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair value s. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
Stock-based compensation
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Earnings per share
The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for the earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share (& #147;EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation. The maximum amount of common stock equivalents relating to the convertible promissory note (See Note 3) amounts to 165,000 common shares, which shares are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculations for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008, since they are considered to be anti-dilutive.
Income taxes
The Company follows ASC Topic 740 for recording the provision for incom e taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial acco unting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. ASC Topic 740 only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company reviewed its tax positions and determined there were no outstanding, or retroactive tax positions with less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, therefore t his standard has not had a material affect on the Company.
The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its total unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
The Company classifies tax-related penalties and net interest as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, no income tax expense has been incurred. All tax years are still open for examination.
Use 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 contingen t assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As noted above, the Company is in the development stage and, accordingly, has not yet generated revenues from operations. Since its inception, the Company has been engaged substantially in financing activities and deve loping its business plan and incurring start up costs and expenses. As a result, the Company incurred accumulated net losses from Inception (May 21, 2008) through the period ended December 31, 2009 of ($280,829). In addition, the Company’s development activities since inception have been financially sustained through debt and equity financing.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
