PART III -- NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed in the
prescribed period.
As discussed in recent filings on Form 8-K and on Form 10-QSB,
management has devoted a significant amount of time to negotiations for the
permanent financing of its acquisition of the assets of White River Nahcolite
Minerals Ltd. Liability Co. and certain related contracts held by IMC Chemicals.
The finalization of the permanent financing has not yet been accomplished,
however, the Company has also sought an independent appraisal of its assets
which is now in hand and will impact the Company's financial statements. This
information is now being incorporated in the Form 10-KSB and the Company
anticipates this filing in the very near future. This filing of the Form 10-KSB
will be followed shortly thereafter by the filing of the Form 10-QSB. AmerAlia
will not be able to compile the information necessary to complete its 10-QSB
Report for timely filing without unreasonable effort or expense.
PART IV -- OTHER INFORMATION
(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification:
Robert C.J. van Mourik (720) 876-2373
-------------------------- ----------- ------------------
(Name) Area Code Telephone Number
(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter
period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) has been
filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).
Yes ( ) No (X)
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject
report of portion thereof?
Yes (X) No ( )
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
narratively and quantatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons
why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
The acquisition of the WRNM assets in February 2003 means that the
current period will report revenues and associated expenses from operations that
were not present for the corresponding period last year.
