Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Naturewell, Incorporated (the
"Company") as of September 30, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operation, and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and for the period from May 13, 2008 to September 30, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note R to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has no operating business and has substantial amounts of debt that is in default as well as having a number of unpaid creditors. Without an operating business the Company has no revenue, cash flow or earnings available to meet its obligations. Those factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NATUREWELL, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of NatureWell, Incorporated (the "Company"), as of September 30, 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and with instructions to Form 10-Q and, accordingly, do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-KSB registration report for the period ending June 30, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The accounting policies followed for interim financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in Note A of the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-KSB registration report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.
B. FORMATION OF SUBSIDIARIES:
NASAL MIST, INC.
The Company owns 91.9% of Nasal Mist ("NMI"), a subsidiary formed by the Company during August 1997, NMI is dormant and not engaged in any operating activities and there are no plans to engage in any activities in the future.
F - 5
- 7 -
C. NOTE RECEIVABLE
Note receivable consists of a $25,000, face value, note issued to the Company in exchange for $25,000 in cash. The note is issued by Wine & Culinary Concepts, Inc. ("W&CC"). The note is dated September 16, 2008 and accrues interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until its maturity on December 31, 2008 at which time all principal and interest accrued thereon shall be due and payable. The note may be forced into converting into the Company's Series E Preferred stock if it is transferred to any person or entity other than the Company and the Company and W&CC have entered into a transaction whereby W&CC becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
D. INVENTORY:
The Company had no Inventory as of September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2008.
E. BASIC AND FULLY DILUTED LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:
Effective November 30, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share ("SFAS 128") which replaced the presentation of "primary" and "fully-diluted" earnings (loss) per common share required under previously promulgated accounting standards with the presentation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings (loss) per common share.
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share is similar to that of basic earnings (loss) per common share, except that the numerator and denominator are adjusted to reflect the decrease in earnings per share or the increase in loss per share that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options and convertible notes, were exercised or converted into common stock.
The Company was required to compute primary and diluted loss per share amounts for 2008 and 2007 pursuant to SFAS 128. Since the Company and its subsidiaries had losses applicable to common stock, the assumed effects of the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options were anti-dilutive and, accordingly, dilutive per share amounts are the same as basic earnings (loss) per share.

- 8 -
F. WARRANTS, OPTIONS AND STOCK BASED COMPENSATION:
The Company has no warrants or options outstanding as of September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2008.
In May of 2004 the Company adopted its 2004 Incentive Stock Bonus and Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is intended to advance the interests of the Company by affording to selected employees, directors and consultants, an opportunity for investment in the Company and the incentives inherent in stock ownership in the Company and to provide the Company with a means of attracting, compensating, and retaining the services of selected employees, directors and consultants. It initially allowed for the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of common stock, covered by a Registration Statement on Form S-8, subject to the board's authority to amend the Plan ("S-8 Stock").
On December 21, 2005, the Plan was amended to allow for the issuance of up to 30,000,000 shares of S-8 Stock. In addition to the shares authorized by the Plan, the Company may issue restricted shares, or securities that convert into restricted common stock (including convertible notes), to non-employees, employees, directors and consultants for services. Shares issued to non-employees, employees and directors in return for services are valued under the fair value method in accordance with SFAS 123. At September 30, 2008, 18,642,742 shares of common stock were issued under the Plan.
The Company had no stock-based employee compensation for the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
G. PREFERRED STOCK:
The Company has outstanding 75 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred"). Each share of Series C Preferred has a $1,000 liquidation preference, and all 75 shares are owned by Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd. ("Dutchess"), the Company's largest senior secured creditor (see also Note I - "Loans Payable" and Note L - "Related Party Transactions"). Pursuant to the terms of the Series C Preferred Certificate of Designation, Dutchess is allowed to cast a vote on all matters that the Company's shareholders are permitted to vote upon, equal to 0.7% of all outstanding securities that are eligible to vote at the time of such shareholder action for each share of Series C Convertible Preferred that it owns (0.7% X 75 shares = 52.5% of total vote). The shares convert into 1,875,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

H. SERIES A COMMON STOCK
The Company has 20,000,000 authorized shares of Series A Common Stock of which 19,000,000 shares are issued and outstanding all of which are owned by Dutchess (see also Note I - "Loans Payable" and Note L - "Related Party Transactions").
Each share of Series A Common Stock shall entitle the holder to cast ten (10) votes for all matters presented to the shareholders for vote, and each share may be converted at the option of the holder into one share of regular Common Stock by surrendering to the Company the certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Series A Common Stock to be converted together with a written request that the shares be so converted. Holders of regular Common Stock and Series A Common Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters as to which holders of the class of common stock are entitled to vote, except as may be otherwise required by law.
At September 30, 2008, the 19,000,000 shares of Series A Common Stock were eligible to cast a vote equal to 7.2% of the eligible votes possessed by the common stock as a class (190,000,000 votes of an eligible 2,638,665,750 votes) and 3.42% of the eligible votes possessed by the common stock and preferred stock voting together (190,000,000 votes of an eligible 5,555,085,789).

M. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Unsecured Creditors of the Company
As of September 30, 2008, the Company maintains a litigation reserve of $126,352 for the payment of past due unsecured creditors for which it does not have a defined payment arrangement (including creditors whose debts were extinguished due to the statute of limitations expiring for such creditors to take legal action to collect their debt). Additionally, the Company is in payment default on an unsecured note totaling $17,913, including interest thereon of $5,961 which accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum. Whenever feasible, the Company negotiates with these creditors to reach settlement agreements that are acceptable to the Company, including agreements to swap equity for debt owed to these creditors. However, if the Company is unable to reach acceptable settlement arrangements it may be subject to various collection actions.
Litigation and Legal Proceedings
At September 30, 2008, the Company has a litigation reserve totaling $126,352 which it maintains for legal and settlement costs associated with its restructuring efforts and for current litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding the litigation reserve established, in the light of the Company's current financial condition, the Company's cash liability, if any, arising from legal proceedings, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
N. STOCK ISSUANCES:
For the period ended September 30, 2008, the Company did not issue shares of its common stock.
O. INCOME TAXES:
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards totaling approximately $26,824,299, before any limitations. The carry-forwards expire through 2027.
The realization of any future income tax benefits from the utilization of net operating losses may be severely limited. Federal and state tax laws contain complicated change of control provisions (generally when a more than 50 percent ownership change occurs within a three-year period), which, if triggered, could limit or eliminate the use of the Company's net operating loss carry-forwards.

P. DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On May 9, 2008, the Company completed the sale of essentially all of its assets. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "APA"), the Company sold all of its assets with the exception of the following: (i) all contract rights contained in that certain Registration Rights Agreement and that certain Investment Agreement, both dated March 31, 2006 and both by and between the Company and Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP ("Dutchess"), and (ii) that lease (rental agreement) by and between the Company and A-1 Self Storage located in El Cajon, California, and (iii) $500 cash.
The assets were sold to NatureWell, Incorporated, a Nevada corporation ("NWNV"), which is a private corporation wholly owned by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, James R. Arabia. The Asset Sale was approved unanimously by the Board of Directors, the shareholders and by both the holders of a majority of the Company's Senior (secured) Debt and the holders of a majority of the Company's Subordinated (secured) Debt pursuant to a procedure outlined in the Intercreditor, Subordination and Standby Agreement dated September 2, 2003, as amended (the "Intercreditor Agreement", see Note P - "Restructuring"), which governs the rights of the Company's secured creditors.
Pursuant to the APA, as consideration for the assets being purchased, NWNV agreed that within ten (10) days following the Closing Date to forgive its right to payment of presently existing obligations totaling $1,087,500 due to NWNV by
the Company (the "Consideration"). Such obligations consisted of $750,000 of the Arabia Notes (see Arabia Settlement Agreement, Note L - "Related Party Transactions"), $297,500 of the Mandaric Guaranteed Notes (see Mandaric Letter Agreement, Note L - "Related Party Transactions"), and $40,000 face value of another note that NWNV had the right to acquire from a creditor of the Company. NWNV had the contractual right to acquire the notes listed above and NWNV fulfilled all of the pre-conditions for acquiring such notes as of May 14, 2008, which automatically resulted in the cancellation of such notes and the timely payment of the Consideration under the terms of the APA.In addition to the Consideration, NWNV also agreed to indemnify the Company against having to pay certain of its remaining debt and obligations (the "Indemnification"). Pursuant to the Indemnification NWNV must pay for all indemnified obligations, if the Company becomes required to pay them subject to certain conditions, up to $340,000, but not before the Company has spent $25,000 itself to repay such indemnified obligations. Pursuant to the APA the obligations subject to the Indemnification totaled approximately $555,453. Of this amount $352,369 are secured notes that are governed by the Intercreditor Agreement, which among other things, prohibits any collection action of any kind by any secured lender without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the senior debt, and eliminates any waiver, contained in any loan document relating to such secured debt, of the Company's ability to plead any statute of limitations as a defense against any claim made by a secured lender. The indemnified amount also includes $90,000 face value of secured notes issued to Mr. Arabia (pursuant to the Arabia Letter Agreement, see Note L - "Related Party Transactions"), which accrue interest at the rate of 4% until their maturity on July 1, 2012, and for which the Company has the right to convert into shares of common stock at any time after July 1, 2010 at an average conversion price of $.015 (6,750,000 shares based on the face value of the notes). In addition to the Consideration and the Indemnification, NWNV also agreed to assume approximately $11,083 of the Company's liabilities.

Q. RESTRUCTURING
Amendments to the Intercreditor Agreement
Effective May 2, 2008, four (4) amendments to the Company's Intercreditor, Subordination and Standby Agreement dated September 2, 2003, as amended (the "Intercreditor Agreement") were passed by the holders of a majority of the Company's senior secured debt and the holders of a majority of the Company's subordinated secured debt. All of the Company's senior secured creditors and subordinated secured creditors are parties to the Intercreditor Agreement. The Intercreditor Agreement affects the rights of such creditors as well as the terms of any debt they hold that has been issued by the Company.
R. GOING CONCERN:
Currently, the Company is a shell company as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and has no operating business. The Company requires capital to comply with its reporting requirements under the Act and also has substantial amounts of debt that is in default as well as having a number of unpaid creditors. Without an operating business the Company has no revenue, cash flow or earnings available to meet its obligations. Consequently, the Company will likely need to raise additional capital to meet its reporting requirements and to defend, when necessary, against creditors that attempt to collect on their debt. These factors, as well as the risks associated with raising capital through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities creates uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's plan to address its going concern issues is to locate a viable operating business to acquire or merge with, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate such a transaction, or that if a transaction is completed that it would be on terms that are favorable to the then-shareholders.
S. RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR STATEMENT
On May 9, 2008 the Company completed the sale of essentially all of its assets. The Company reclassified all income and expenses to discontinued operations of last year. There were no effects in net loss due to the reclassification.

Overview
NatureWell, Incorporated (the "Company") is a public company whose common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTC-BB") under the symbol "NAWL." The Company is a shell company as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and has no operating business. Any plan of operations would be developed in conjunction with an acquisition of or merger with an operating company as yet unidentified.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
The Company incurred a net loss of $195,117 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, compared with a net loss of $470,753 for the period ended September 30, 2007. This represents a decrease of $ 275,636 or 58.55% from the period ending September 30, 2007. The decrease in net loss is due to the company selling its assets, reducing overhead and being in development stage.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Pending an acquisition of or merger with another business or company, the Company anticipates that it will need capital to continue to make its required public filings, defend against creditor suits or actions and to reach settlements with creditors when advisable. The Company will need to obtain additional working capital to fund its business operations through additional working capital loans from Dutchess. There can be no assurance that Dutchess will provide any additional financing to the Company, which, if not provided, could result in the Company being unable to continue as a going concern.
At September 30, 2008, the Company had current assets of $57,393, including cash of $32,289 and a note receivable of 25,104.
On August 29, 2008, the Company completed an offering of a $48,000 principal amount one-year promissory note to Dutchess for aggregate gross proceeds of $48,000 and net proceeds of $40,000 after original issue discount. This note bears 12% interest. Payments made by the Company in satisfaction of this note shall be interest only on a monthly basis made from available funds beginning on September 1, 2008. No payments have been made on the note as of the date of this report.
On September 12, 2008, the Company completed an offering of a $30,000 principal amount one-year promissory note to Dutchess for aggregate gross proceeds of $25,000 and net proceeds of $25,000 after issuance expenses. This note bears 12% interest. Payments made by the Company in satisfaction of this note shall be interest only on a monthly basis made from available funds beginning on October 1, 2008. No payments have been made on the note as of the date of this report.
The Company intends to seek opportunities to acquire or merge with an operating company and is actively seeking such a transaction. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in locating an acquisition or merger candidate or that it will be able to consummate a transaction with a candidate over the next twelve months. The Company's ability to repay its debt and/or further restructure its balance sheet is highly dependent upon its success in identifying and transacting an acquisition or merger. Additionally, the Company believes that an acquisition or merger may require the raising of additional capital to facilitate such a transaction, however at this time the Company has no specific plans for raising additional capital as such needs, if any, are unknown at this time.
PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company has no ongoing operations and any plan of operations would be developed in conjunction with the transaction of an acquisition of or merger with an operating company as yet unidentified.
EXPECTED CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
Over the next twelve months the Company's capital requirements are unknown except in regard to monies needed to make its filings required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company expects that its current cash on hand along with additional borrowings from Dutchess will be adequate to cover the expenses related to continuing to report as a public company, however, there can be no assurance that Dutchess will be willing to provide such further funding.
EXPECTED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
None.
EXPECTED PURCHASES OR SALES OF PLANT AND SIGNIFICANT EQUIPMENT
None.
EXPECTED CHANGES IN NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES
The Company has 2 consultants/officers (a part-time CEO and part-time CFO) and does not expect to add any new employees over the next twelve months unless an acquisition or merger is completed within that time-frame.

ITEM 3. QUANTATITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is: (1) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

At September 30, 2008 the Company has a litigation reserve totaling $126,352 which it maintains for legal and settlement costs associated with its restructuring efforts and for litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding the litigation reserve established, in the light of the Company's current financial condition, the Company's cash liability, if any, arising from legal proceedings, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and ability to continue as a going concern. Currently the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings.
Not required.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
The Company is in payment default on the first thirteen of the fourteen notes it has issued to Dutchess (see Note I - "Loans Payable"), which in the aggregate have a total outstanding balance due of $3,324,332 as of September 30, 2008, including interest accrued thereon of $506,502. Dutchess has not exercised or given notice of its intent to exercise any of its rights or remedies pursuant to the terms of the Dutchess Notes, but there can be no assurance that they will not elect to exercise such rights in the future. The Dutchess Notes are senior secured notes, have a lien on virtually all of the Company's assets, and are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement described herein. The Company currently has not reached a definitive plan on how it will repay the Dutchess notes
Because these creditors are secured by virtually all of the Company's assets, the Company could face action to have its assets foreclosed upon. Collection action by any secured creditor is governed by an Intercreditor Agreement between such creditors, which requires a majority of senior creditors to approve of any collection action by any secured creditor(s) before such action is commenced (including an action to foreclose on the Company's assets). Although the Company believes that the majority of senior creditors will not agree to authorize collection action at this time, there can be no assurance that the senior creditors will not authorize certain collection actions. If collection actions are authorized and do commence, the assets of the Company could be foreclosed upon and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern would be severely limited.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
