Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 -

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

Natural Resources USA Corporation (“Natural Resources” or “the Company”), was formerly known as AmerAlia, Inc. (“AmerAlia”) which was originally incorporated as Computer Learning Software, Inc. under the laws of the State of Utah on June 7, 1983 and renamed AmerAlia, Inc. in January 1984. Until October 31, 2008, AmerAlia owned 100% of Natural Soda Holdings, Inc. (“Natural Soda Holdings”) and Natural Soda Holdings owned 46.5% of Natural Soda, Inc. (“Natural Soda”). On October 31, 2008 AmerAlia completed a restructuring agreement wherein AmerAlia and Natural Soda Holdings issued new equity in exchange for cash and the settlement of various debt obligations, when then enabled Natural Soda Holdings to acquire the 46.5% of Natural Soda previously owned by Sentient USA Resources Fund, LP (“Sentient”). The end result was that as of October 31, 2008, AmerAlia owned 18% of the equity of Natural Soda Holdings which in turn owned 100% of the equity of Natural Soda. On June 30, 2010 AmerAlia completed an exchange reorganization with Sentient whereby AmerAlia acquired 100% ownership of Natural Soda Holdings in exchange for the issuance of 286,119,886 shares of its Common Stock. This last transaction was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and all periods presented in these financial statements were retrospectively adjusted to consolidated Natural Soda Holdings. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation accounts.

On March 15, 2011, Sentient exchanged all its 334,074,381 shares of Natural Resources common stock and its limited right to subscribe for 5,500,000 additional shares of Natural Resources common stock for shares of Green SEA Resources, Inc. (“GSR”) common stock. GSR, a private corporation majority owned and controlled by Sentient, now owns 94.8% of Natural Resources’ common stock. On August 8, 2011, GSR filed a Schedule 13E-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to disclose its intent to take the Company private pursuant to a short form merger (“Merger”) under the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act. The terms of the Merger are described in more detail in the transaction statement filed as Exhibit (a)(1) to the Schedule 13E-3 filed by GSR on August 8, 2011.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Natural Resources pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Natural Resources’ most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its Transition Report on Form 10-KT/A for the six months ended December 31, 2010. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

In our report on Form 10-KT/A filed on September 14, 2011 we restated previously issued financial information for the period ended December 31, 2010 as a result of our need (i) to file tax returns individually for Natural Resources, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Natural Soda Holdings, and Natural Soda Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiary, Natural Soda, as elections to consolidate had not been made as required, rather than on a consolidated basis as was done in the past, and (ii) to record an increase to our asset retirement obligation of $394,000 with a corresponding increase in fixed assets.

During the first quarter of 2011 the Company became aware of an additional $81,000 of legal expenses that had not been accrued in the quarter ended December 31, 2010 as a result of invoices not being submitted timely for work in progress. The Company was not advised of the amount of the unbilled work in progress until after the filing of the Company’s filing on Form 10-KT for the six months ended December 31, 2010. This amount has been recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

NOTE 2 -

OUTSTANDING STOCK OPTIONS AND PURCHASE WARRANTS

On January 18, 2011 options to subscribe for 875,000 shares of common stock at $0.58 per share were granted to each of Bill H. Gunn, Robert van Mourik, Bradley F. Bunnett and Robert Warneke (3,500,000 options in total). One third of the shares vest on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant and expire on January 18, 2016.

As a result of applying ASC 718 to stock options granted to board members, the Company recorded expenses of $357,064 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These expenses are included in the selling, general and administrative amount in the statement of operations. The Company will recognize an additional $2,213,817 of expenses related to the unvested options, evenly over the period ending January 18, 2014.

Under ASC 718, the Company estimated the fair value of each stock award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for each of the grants, respectively; dividend yield of zero percent for all years; expected volatility of 200%; risk-free interest rates of 2.5% and expected lives of 5.0 years.

On May 4, 2011, 150,000 options to subscribe for 150,000 shares of common stock held by two former directors of the Company were exchanged for 75,000 shares of restricted common stock under the cashless exercise provisions of the option agreements. Options held to acquire 187,500 shares at $0.88 per share expired during the period ended June 30, 2011.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock options as of June 30, 2011 and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2011 is presented below:

	Options, Warrants and SARs			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding December 31, 2010		675,000		$	0.49

NOTE 3 –

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We provide our executive officers with company credit cards for the purpose of paying company expenses incurred while travelling. We have also advanced funds to GSR for travel expenses. These charges are recorded as advances until claims for expenses are approved. The balance due from related parties was $200,899 at June 30, 2011 and $104,941 at December 31, 2010.

NOTE 4 –

INCOME TAXES

As disclosed in note 1, certain elections to file tax returns on a consolidated basis were not made. In accordance with ASC 740 income tax balances have been calculated on an individual company by company basis resulting in a consolidated effective tax rate of 81.50% which is higher than the statutory federal rate for the year of 35%. This difference is due to losses incurred by NRUC and NSHI for which tax benefits were not recognized given the inability to offset those losses against income earned by NSI. The tax expense represents the expense incurred on the discrete individual company operations of NSI. NSI’s individual company effective tax rate on the pre-tax income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 is 37.10%. The current financial statements indicate a tax liability in the current period. We intend to seek relief with the Internal Revenue Service which, if granted, would allow us to file consolidated tax returns to reduce or eliminate tax provisions and payments required by filing on an individual basis.

NOTE 5 –

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 1, 2011 options to subscribe for 112,500 shares at $0.61 per share were granted to three non-executive directors in accordance with the provisions of the 2010 Directors’ Incentive Plan/ The options vest on January 2, 2012 and expire on June 30, 2014.

The Company intends, subject to satisfactory financing arrangements being made, to enter into an agreement with a third party contractor to provide design, project management, supervision, procurement, construction, testing, and start up services in connection with a planned expansion of the Company’s production facilities. As the financing arrangements have not yet been confirmed, the Company has not completed the agreement; however, in order to enable some progress to be made, the Company entered into the following two interim agreements:

On July 6, 2011 the Company paid the contractor $150,000 to undertake preliminary engineering work, and

On August 4, 2011 the Company agreed paid the contractor $2,570,000 representing the first milestone payment achieved as though the anticipated agreement had been signed

On August 8, 2011, GSR filed a Schedule 13E-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to disclose its intent to take the Company private pursuant to a short form merger (“Merger”) under the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act. The terms of the Merger are described in more detail in the transaction statement filed as Exhibit (a)(1) to the Schedule 13E-3 filed by GSR on August 8, 2011.

On August 31, 2011 the Company agreed to accelerate the vesting of all outstanding options immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger. If the Company does accelerate the vesting it will recognize up to $2,070,992 of option expense at the time of acceleration.

The Company has evaluated all other subsequent events and concluded that no other events require disclosure.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us, our directors or our officers. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "intend", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential" or "continue", the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks we outline from time to time in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our recent Transition Report on Form 10-KT/A for the six months ended December 31, 2010. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between our actual results and those reflected in these statements. The information constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Our business is to identify and develop natural resource assets. Natural Resources’ direct subsidiary, Natural Soda Holdings, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Natural Soda, own significant natural sodium bicarbonate resources utilized for the recovery and production of various sodium bicarbonate products.

Natural Soda Holdings and Natural Soda own BLM leases in the Piceance Creek Basin covering very large deposits of naturally occurring sodium bicarbonate called nahcolite. Natural Soda’s business is to produce and sell natural sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, for use in a wide variety of products and activities. Natural Soda’s immediate objectives are, firstly, to be a low cost producer of sodium bicarbonate and to leverage that low cost advantage to achieve superior profit margins; and secondly, to profitably utilize its water assets.

Natural Soda owns various water rights in the Piceance Creek Basin in northwest Colorado, a part of the Colorado River drainage system. These various rights are decreed to allow Natural Soda to draw up to a maximum of 108,812 acre feet (35.46 billion gallons) annually and to store up to 7,980 acre feet of water.

Deposits of oil shale lie below, above and are interspersed within the nahcolite contained within the sodium leases. Early in 2010 Natural Soda Holdings applied to the BLM for a Research Development and Demonstration (“RD&D”) lease for the purpose of investigating the recovery of oil from oil shale. In October 2010, the Washington office of the BLM advanced our nomination and has now requested its Colorado office to conduct a review of the project in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. Ultimately, if we are granted a RD&D lease we will be allowed to conduct oil shale research during a ten year period over a 160 acre lease adjoining our existing sodium leases. If we can satisfy a substantial diligence requirement, including establishing the ability to produce oil shale in commercial quantities, we could be granted a production lease which will require paying the BLM rent based on the fair market value of the lease.

Sodium Bicarbonate Sales and Revenue Performance

We are currently utilizing three wells to source sodium bicarbonate and we are currently engaged in obtaining BLM approval for a fourth well which we expect to bring online in 2012. Consequently, we believe we have sufficient capability to meet sales orders for the foreseeable future. Our two existing boilers are running at full capacity and our new boiler constructed at a cost of approximately $4.4 million is now being commissioned. Then we expect our greater ability to heat the underground well fields will increase the supply of brine to our plant and enable us to increase production even more. We anticipate that in 2011 our plant’s output will exceed its name plate capacity of 125,000 tons per year for the first time. The BLM increased our authorized recovery of sodium bicarbonate to 250,000 tons per year in 2010 in anticipation of our proposed plant expansion and we are looking forward to seeing how much additional output we can attain simply as a result of installing the larger and more efficient boiler. The existing boilers will be retained as back up units. The following diagram demonstrates the continuing growth in our sales since the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The first quarter of the year is traditionally a period of slower sales activity due to limitations imposed on our transport capability by inclement weather.

Revenues were $7,017,953 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 13.1% on revenues of $6,202,708 for the comparable period in the prior year, on sales of 35,895 tons and 32,159 tons in each of the respective periods, an increase of 11.6%. While our revenue per ton increased 1.4%, our cost of goods sold excluding depreciation per ton increased by 5.4%. The actual cost of goods sold excluding depreciation increased to $4,444,938 from $3,779,758 in the prior period, an increase of 17.6%. Consequently, gross profit excluding depreciation increased 6.2% from $2,422,950 in the prior period to $2,573,015 in the quarter ended June 30. Gross profit excluding depreciation per ton sold decreased by 4.9%.

Revenues were $12,986,130 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 12.4% on revenues of $11,552,089 for the comparable period in the prior year, on sales of 66,098 tons and 58,028 tons in each of the respective periods, an increase of 13.9%. While our revenue per ton decreased 1.3%, our cost of goods sold excluding depreciation per ton decreased by 4.3%. The actual cost of goods sold excluding depreciation increased to $7,875,500 from $7,222,261 in the prior period, an increase of 9.0%. Consequently, gross profit excluding depreciation increased 18.0% from $4,329,828 in the prior period to $5,110,630 in the six months ended June 30. Gross profit excluding depreciation per ton sold increased by 3.6%.

As a consequence of the completion of the reorganization in June 2010, general and administrative costs increased significantly over the prior period for a variety of reasons including various professional fees including fees paid to investigate the oil shale research activities, development of our water rights, investigation of a prospective joint venture and other various consulting fees, increased corporate travel, and board and shareholder meeting expenses. General and administrative costs increased to $2,618,481 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $2,318,576 in the prior period, an increase of 12.9%. General and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $1,293,798, a 0.2% increase on $1,291,769 in the prior period.

As a result of the higher levels of production and increased investment in our well fields and additional acquisitions of property, plant and equipment, depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 41.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the prior period, from $416,283 to $587,623. The resulting income from operations for the three months was $691,594, an increase of 41.9% over the prior period’s income from operations of $487,398. Interest expense was reduced from $33,710 to $2,139 reflecting the repayment of our factoring facility.

Index

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 32.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the prior period, from $881,377 to $1,165,320 as a consequence of the much higher level of production and increased investment in our well fields and further acquisitions of property, plant and equipment. This represents an increase of 16.1% on a per ton basis. The resulting income from operations for the six months was $1,326,829, an increase of 47% over the prior period’s income from operations of $902,375. Interest expense was reduced from $75,017 to $2,594 reflecting the repayment of our factoring facility.

Consequently, after recognizing current and deferred tax expenses totaling $544,777, net income after tax was $145,025 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, a 68% decrease on the $453,688 earned in the comparable prior period in which no provision for tax expense was recognized. For the six month period current and deferred tax expense totaled $1,079,872 resulting in after tax income of $245,092 compared to net income of $827,358 for the prior period. Income tax expense has been calculated on each of our companies on a single entity basis given the need to file tax returns on non-consolidated basis. We intend to seek relief with the Internal Revenue Service which, if granted, would allow us to file consolidated tax returns and could reduce or eliminate tax provisions and payments required by filing on an individual basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During this six month period we invested $3,181,447 on purchasing property and equipment and $38,755 on our cavities. In addition, we increased our accounts receivable by $487,665, inventory by $25,166, prepaid expenses by $72,234, reduced accounts and royalties payable by $76,451, accrued expenses due to related parties by $284,660, increased restricted cash by $17,368 and reduced capital leases and debt by $10,090. We increased our provisions for accrued expenses by $738,682 and income taxes payable by $641,677. We used $376,200 to increase our deferred tax assets. As a result, we reduced our cash by $669,801 to a balance of $3,495,227 at the end of the period.

As discussed above, Natural Soda has installed an upgraded boiler and heat transfer system designed to support additional production volume from the existing well field and production facility at a cost of $4.4 million up to September 2011. The new system will service a proposed second line of crystallizers which has been approved by the board of directors subject to satisfactory negotiation of financing arrangements and a Design/Build contract. We intend, subject to satisfactory financing arrangements being made, to enter into an agreement with a third party contractor to provide design, project management, supervision, procurement, construction, testing, and start up services in connection with a planned expansion of the Company’s production facilities. As the financing arrangements have not yet been confirmed, we have not completed the agreement; however, in order to enable some progress to be made, we entered into the following two interim agreements:

On July 6, 2011 the Company paid the contractor $150,000 to undertake preliminary engineering work, and

On August 4, 2011 the Company paid the contractor $2,570,000 representing the first milestone payment achieved as though the anticipated agreement had been signed.

Under the terms of a Licence Agreement Natural Soda Holdings entered into with Peter Cassidy, an officer and director of Sentient, as discussed more fully in our annual report, Natural Soda Holdings is obliged to commission and to pay for a research program related to its application for a RD&D oil shale lease. In September 2010, Natural Soda Holdings contracted with Monash University of Australia to have Monash perform research on oil shale. This basic research supports our efforts to investigate potential solutions to develop petroleum products from the oil shale. The research at Monash is integral to our oil shale project and is designed to test concepts that may later be used on-site should we gain full approval from the BLM of our RD&D application. We expect to spend approximately $500,000 this year to fund the Monash research program.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated our internal controls and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2011 as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As of June 30, 2011, we did not maintain effective controls over the preparation of its tax returns and determination of its tax provisions for accounting purposes.

Specifically:

●

We did not maintain an effective control environment that recognized the differences between financial accounting and taxation accounting and ensured access to personnel with appropriate experience to properly prepare taxation returns.

●

We did not maintain sufficient controls to ensure our tax returns were filed accurately and on a consistent basis.

These control deficiencies led to errors in our tax filings that in turn resulted in errors in the preparation of our financial statements.

These control deficiencies resulted in material errors and the restatement of our financial statements for the six months ended December 31, 2010, particularly with respect to the determination of amounts of tax expense, deferred tax assets, income tax liability and net income. Additionally, these control deficiencies could result in further misstatements of these accounts that would result in a material misstatement of our financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, our management has determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Plan for Remediation

Beginning in August 2011, our management began to determine new policies and procedures and internal controls to address the above-described material weaknesses and enhance our system of internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of tax returns.

The remediation efforts outlined below are intended both to address the identified material weaknesses and to enhance our overall financial control environment.

Index

Our plan is to create an effective control environment around the preparation of the tax returns and the computation of tax provisions, tax expense, deferred tax assets, income tax liability and net income to provide for the accuracy of our financial reporting:

●

We will appoint tax advisors who have expertise in US mining tax regulations.

●

We will introduce new internal control procedures to review tax returns filed by us to ensure tax returns are complete and accurate.

●

In addition, due to certain missed elections in order to file our tax returns on a consolidated basis, we intend to seek relief from the Internal Revenue Service which, if granted, would allow us to re-consolidate our previously filed tax returns.

●

We will improve the quality and quantity of the tax training provided to our CFO and accounting staff.

The Audit Committee has directed management to develop a detailed plan and timetable for the implementation of the foregoing remediation efforts and will monitor the implementation. In addition, under the direction of the Audit Committee, management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of our internal control environment, as well as to policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Management believes the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate these material weaknesses. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may take additional measures to address control deficiencies or modify the remediation plan described above.

If Shell were to be successful in their application, it might adversely impact the value of our White River water rights. We intend to vigorously oppose this application.
