PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Business Development
Bollente Companies Inc. is a development stage company incorporated in the state of Nevada in March of 2008. On September 23, 2010, we changed our name from Alcantara Brands Corporation to Bollente Companies Inc.
On March 7, 2011, we entered into a reverse triangular merger (“Merger”) by and among Woodmans Lumber and Millworks Peru (“Woodmans”), a Nevada corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Bollente, Inc., a Nevada corporation, Woodmans and Bollente, Inc. being the constituent entities in the Merger. On May 16, 2011, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Bollente, Inc. in exchange for 4,707,727 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, Woodmans was merged with Bollente, Inc. wherein Woodmans ceased to exist and Bollente, Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiary.
As a result of the closing of the Merger, our main focus has been redirected to the research and development of high quality, whole-house, electric tankless water heater that is more energy efficient than conventional products.
Business of Issuer
On February 24, 2011, Bollente, Inc. accepted an assignment of an engineering services contract from Perigon Companies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is also a lender for Bollente, Inc. Perigon started to create an electric tankless water heater and the technology is in research and development. Perigon is owned and controlled by an individual who is a family member of one of the stockholders of the Company. Bollente agreed to accept the assignment for a promissory note of $500,000. The promissory note is due on February 24, 2014 and bears interest at 8% per annum. There are quarterly interest payments of $10,000 with a balloon payment of the principal balance and any accrued interest at the maturity date. In the event of default, the interest rate increases to 18% per annum.
Bollente’s first product is a high quality, whole-house, electric tankless water heater. The residential whole-house version and commercial version have been in research and development since late 2009; with early modeling and design work completed the remaining development has begun. Several novel and patentable technologies are currently in testing and initial prototype work has already begun on this primary line of tankless water heating products. We anticipate development work on the whole-house residential and commercial tankless water heaters will be substantially completed by our current engineering consultants. Once the management’s testing and certification criteria have been met, our engineering consultants will transition the product line to a contract manufacturer, who will begin full-scale production at which point we will be able to commence shipments.
2
We are committed to manufacturing and distributing a new, high-quality, highly efficient electric tankless water heater that will exceed American consumer performance expectations for large quantities of hot water and delivery of hot water at consistent temperatures with an affordable, durable and reliable design. We have several features and design innovations which are new to the electric tankless water heater market that we believe will give our products a sustainable competitive advantage over our rivals in the market.
Our tankless water heaters will be designed to provide an endless hot water supply because they are designed to heat water as it flows through the system. We believe that our products are capable of higher temperature rise than competitive units at given flow rates because of its improved design and greater efficiency. Our tankless water heaters can save energy and reduce operating costs compared to tank systems because unlike tanks, if there is no hot water demand, no energy is being used. In addition, we intend to improve life-cycle costs with an improved design conceived not only to increase efficiency, but also the longevity of our products versus competitive units. Generally, a typical tank water heater lasts about 11 years, whereas gas tankless systems may last longer, but require routine maintenance. Our product line is designed to last longer than tank water heaters without any routine maintenance required under most conditions.
For forty years, the Japanese have been manufacturing and using gas powered tankless water heaters for residential and commercial use. Companies that sell gas tankless brands in the U.S. are usually sourced from Japanese suppliers, such as Noritz, Rinnai, Takagi, and Paloma, none of which manufacture or sell electric tankless products. Gas tankless manufacturers have had an appreciable impact on the U.S. water heater market in recent years, gaining market share and partnering with well known companies in the space to further increase market share. Manufacturers of electric tankless water heaters have not achieved significant sales relative to gas tankless manufacturers despite the increased awareness for tankless water heaters in general. We expect that Bollente’s tankless electric water heaters will fill the electric tankless market segment as the industry and consumers become aware of our improved technology. Bollente’s products are being engineered to provide quality, functionality, and performance at an attractive price point. The company expects to sell primarily through traditional plumbing wholesale distribution channels, as well as directly to national homebuilders and large plumbing wholesalers. Additionally, we believe licensing and co-branding opportunities are available in the industry.
Introduction to our Business Development Strategy
We have determined that as part of our growth strategy, we will seek to partner with or acquire entities operating in various fields, with a bias towards green and "clean-tech" sectors. Our management has experience in marketing, product launches, business development strategies, and certain other areas specific to the success of growth companies. We will operate with a view towards identifying acquisition candidates as we seek the rights to provide the market with products and services geared toward environmental responsibility.
We have identified several agents who are well suited to provide consulting to high-growth technology and consumer products companies. We are currently negotiating with several agents possessing technical expertise related to planning, structuring, and capitalizing growth companies in the green and "clean-tech" sectors who will be tasked with creating additional revenues and assist the Company with our own planning, structure, and capitalization.
3
We have identified several entities that fit our criteria. We are focused on adding value to these companies and acquiring either the entity or its business, maintaining and growing that business, and hiring and utilizing existing management where appropriate. We have begun the design of a website which we believe will help us attract relationships with possible acquisition targets.
Intellectual Property & Proprietary Rights
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.
Our plans are to actively pursue patent and trademark protection for all of newly developed products, both domestically and abroad. We have novel and proprietary technologies related to our product line and the central focus of our patent counsel has been to work with our engineers to build a defensible patent portfolio. To date, we have filed several trademark applications through our outside marketing and branding experts and have acquired several unique domain registrations reflective of our online marketing strategy. We anticipate obtaining patent and trademark protection on all of our newly developed, proprietary products. We also plan to continue protecting our intellectual property through confidentiality agreements with vendors and consultants and trade secret protocols employed by employees, consultants, and contractors.
Product Overview
We are currently in a research and development phase to design a product line of tankless water heaters. We are strategizing a branding and marketing strategy for a tankless water heater product line. The whole-house and commercial series of water heaters will be marketed by the Company when the research and development is substantially completed. Management believes our products will deliver increased functionality and energy efficiency to consumers, and that our products are superior to other competing products in the market, but at a lower cost to the end user. In addition, we are working to identify partners in the contract manufacturing space and believe we will enter production through one of these contract manufacturing firms in the next 12 months. There are currently several prototypes, components, and various assemblies and technologies being examined and tested by our engineering contactors for use in our product lines.
Tankless Industry Overview
The U.S. gas tankless, whole-house, water heater market is dominated by five brands; Noritz, Rinnai, Takagi, Aqua Star by Bosch and Paloma by Rheem. The U.S. electric tankless, whole-house, water heater market is dominated by four brands; Seisco by Microtherm, Inc., Stiebel Eltron, Eemax and Power Star by Bosch. Until just a few years ago, there were only a few tankless water heater manufacturers with a presence in the United States, but that is changing. Now, several Japanese and European manufacturers have begun marketing products in the United States, and since 2003, gas tankless products have experienced dramatic growth. Electric tankless systems have not experienced comparable growth due to several factors, primarily product performance, capacity, product quality and electrical power supply and installation issues.
4
Manufacturers of tank heaters have a competitive advantage due largely to their product category’s long established use, name recognition, established distribution and brand position in the marketplace. Many plumbers and other building industry professionals were opposed to changing brands or to tankless systems because many tankless water heaters have been poorly designed in the past. As a result there is a perception among some contractors that these water heaters are more complicated and generally less dependable than traditional tank heaters. This perception is often passed along to consumers when making buying decisions or inquiring about switching to a tankless water heater. In recent years however, the industry has experienced a contraction in sales of products and services for new building projects. Consequently, higher ticket, higher margin products, such as tankless and solar water heating systems have become a primary growth driver for many plumbers and companies who had traditionally avoided emerging technologies.
While we believe that our products will have superior performance, such as endless hot water, superior longevity, greater efficiency and lower “life-cycle” costs than traditional tank water heaters, the Company’s success will depend to a large degree on the successful conversion of traditional water heater buyers to tankless water heater buyers. The acquisition price of tankless water heaters (both gas and electric) is greater than traditional tank water heaters, but the overall cost of ownership will be less than that of traditional tank technologies under typical circumstances. Although the public’s awareness of tankless systems has not been strong historically, sales growth in the sector is suggestive of increasing awareness.
Our marketing and promotion plans have been developed to increase the awareness of the Company’s brand as the preferred option to traditional tank systems. Bollente intends to position itself and its brand to capitalize on the paradigm shift to green-conscious living and development.
Target Markets
The United States market for residential tank water heaters in 2010 was approximately 7.65 million units according to data released by the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). Almost 50% of those shipments were electric water heaters, and the company has found in comparing those statistics with government data, that over 90% of tank water heaters shipped in 2010 were intended for “replacement” installations.
Bollente will initially market its products to builders, remodelers and distributors in the southern and western U.S. These areas of the country have been selected because of generally higher ground water temperatures, which improves the effects of the performance and capacity of all brands of tankless water heaters. This area of the country also traditionally has the largest share of population growth and new housing starts, accounting for almost two-thirds of all housing starts in 2010, according to government data. Additionally, the southern U.S., and specifically the southeastern U.S., has the highest usage of electric water heaters.
5
Overview of Potential Markets and Summary of Marketing Plan
Management intends to focus on the United States residential market initially. For decades Americans have used only tank type water heaters. For most homes, the units hold an average of 40 to 80 gallons of water in a storage tank, are gas or electric fueled and consume excessive energy to keep water hot continuously. In fact, water heaters expend up to 25% of the total energy used by a typical household representing the second largest use of energy in most homes. Depending on household usage, approximately 25 – 50% of the heat created is lost through the walls of the tank and connecting pipes.
There are other problems inherent with traditional tank water heaters:
·
|
Due to the high temperatures and corrosive aspects of water, a typical water heater has a life span of 10.7 years.
|
·
|
Unless replaced beforehand, more than two thirds of water heaters eventually corrode and leak or burst, often resulting in extensive and costly water and mold related damage.
|
·
|
Due to the large size and other installation requirements often result in the units being installed in garages and utility rooms on the opposite side of the home from the bathroom fixtures. Because of this, an estimated 10,000 gallons of water per household goes down the drain while users wait on the water to get hot at the faucet.
|
·
|
Traditional tank water heaters take up to 6 to 9 square feet of floor space, which can be especially valuable in multi-family or commercial applications.
|
·
|
To reduce operating costs, many people adjust the temperature on their water heaters down. Unfortunately, lower temperatures increase the possibility of unhealthy, water born bacteria growth.
|
·
|
To increase water heating capacity, many people will adjust the temperature of their water heaters up. In addition to using more energy, this practice can be dangerous by posing a greater risk of scalding.
|
Tankless water heaters are becoming increasingly popular in America because they:
·
|
Produce a continuous, unlimited supply of hot water
|
·
|
Expend only the energy needed to heat the water used with no “standby” energy loss
|
·
|
Can last more than twice as long as tank heaters
|
·
|
Are small and require very little space.
|
·
|
Are not conducive to bacterial growth
|
·
|
Are considered very “green” by green conscious builders and consumers.
|
Electric tankless water heaters have additional benefits over gas powered models because they can be installed almost anywhere in a home (closets, attics, utility rooms, etc.) where hot water is needed which improves flexibility of floor plan design for builders, architects, and remodelers. In addition, gas tankless water heaters may not be suitable for many applications due to challenges with adequate fuel supply, the need for exhaust vents with specific requirements, and other code-related requirements. In spite of these issues, gas tankless water heaters have enjoyed significant growth in North America because of the efficiency and performance they provide.
6
Distribution Plan
Initially, we will be distributing our first product line throughout the southern and western U.S. using an existing network of plumbing and electrical wholesalers (distributors), manufacturers’ representatives and dealers. We believe that once the product has been launched, we will be able to partner with major companies in the building and plumbing industries to rapidly expand awareness of Bollente and our products in the water heater market in the U.S and Canada.
Sales will be pursued through the following channels:
1.
|
Regional and national plumbing and electrical wholesalers (also called “distributors”);
|
2.
|
Plumbers and electricians on a direct basis, in those areas where wholesalers have not yet been set up; and,
|
3.
|
Builders on a direct basis, in those areas where wholesalers & mechanical contractors have not yet been set up.
|
We will expand sales of the product further by marketing the product directly to consumers over the internet with a series of aggressive and ongoing marketing initiatives. We intend to market to industry professionals and end-users through more traditional marketing efforts as well, including print advertising, attendance of select national trade shows, and attendance of select regional consumer shows. We also expect Bollente will be successful in providing education, training, and support to our sales and installer networks as part of our distribution and marketing efforts.
We believe our products will be a differentiating factor for industry professionals and builders as they market to their customers. Additionally, our electric tankless products are expected to provide these professionals and their companies with a mechanism to increase revenue and improve gross margin as compared to more traditional water heating products.
Employees
As of December 31, 2011, we have one part-time employee, Robertson James Orr, who is also our sole officer and director.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In the normal course of business, our financial position will routinely be subjected to a variety of risks, including market risks associated with marketing, technology developments, competitive forces, and government regulatory actions. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the sections below. Our actual results could differ materially from projected results due to some or all of the factors discussed below.
We are a development stage company organized in March 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 March of 2008 as a Nevada corporation. As a result of our start-up operations we have; (i) generated no revenues, (ii) accumulated deficits of $2,098,907 for the period ended December 31, 2011, and (iii) we have incurred losses of $2,098,907 from our inception through the period ended December 31, 2011. We have been focused on organizational and start-up activities and business plan development. 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 are subject to significant competition from large, well-funded companies.
The industry we compete in is characterized by intense competition and rapid and significant technological advancements. Many companies are working in a number of areas similar to our primary field of interest to develop new products; some of which may be similar and/or competitive to our products.
Most of the companies with which we compete have substantially greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution and other resources than us. If a competitor enters the tankless water heater industry and establishes a greater market share in the direct-selling channel, our business and operating results will be adversely affected.
If we fail to secure or protect our intellectual property rights, our products and competitors may be able to use our designs, each of which could harm our reputation, reduce our revenues and increase our costs.
We will rely on intellectual property laws to protect our proprietary rights with respect to our trademarks and pending patent. We are susceptible to injury from patent infringement, which may harm our reputation for producing high-quality products or force us to incur additional expense in enforcing our rights. It is difficult and expensive to detect and prevent patent infringement. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property, some may attempt to violate our intellectual property rights by using our trademarks and imitating our products, which could potentially harm our brand, reputation and financial condition.
8
We may face significant expenses and liability in connection with the protection of our intellectual property rights. Infringement claims and lawsuits likely would be expensive to resolve and would require substantial management time and resources. Any adverse determination in litigation could subject us to the loss of our rights to a particular trademark, which could prevent us from manufacturing, selling or using certain aspects of our products or could subject us to substantial liability, any of which would harm our results of operations. Aside from infringement claims against us, if we fail to secure or protect our intellectual property rights, our competitors may be able to use our designs. If we are unable to successfully protect our intellectual property rights or resolve any conflicts, our results of operations may be harmed.
Our reliance on intellectual property and other proprietary information subjects us to the risk that these key ingredients of our business could be copied by competitors.
Our success depends, in significant part, on the proprietary nature of our technology. If a competitor is able to reproduce or otherwise capitalize on our technology, despite the safeguards we have in place, it may be difficult, expensive or impossible for us to obtain necessary legal protection. In addition to patent protection of intellectual property rights, we consider elements of our product designs and processes to be proprietary and confidential. We rely upon employee, consultant and vendor non-disclosure agreements and contractual provisions and a system of internal safeguards to protect our proprietary information. However, any of our registered or unregistered intellectual property rights may be challenged or exploited by others in the industry, which might harm our operating results.
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 the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our 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 the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our 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, stockholders will lose their 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 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 very recent start-up nature, we will have to incur the costs of product development, import expenses, advertising, 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.
9
We will need 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 may lose part or all of their investment.
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 principles 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 the Company; (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 the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Mr. Orr has limited 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. Orr, and his lack of experience in operating a public company, our investors are at risk in losing their entire investment. Mr. Orr 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. Until such future financing occurs, and until such management is in place, we are reliant upon Mr. Orr to make the appropriate management decisions.
Mr. Orr may become involved with other businesses and there can be no assurance that he will continue to provide services to us. Mr. Orr’s limited time devotion to the Company could have the effect on our operations of preventing us from being a successful business operation, which ultimately could cause a loss of stockholder investment.
As compared to many other public companies, we do not have the depth of managerial or technical personnel. Mr. Orr is currently involved in other businesses, which have not, and are not expected in the future to interfere with Mr. Orr’s ability to work on behalf of our Company. Mr. Orr 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. Orr will devote only a portion of his time to our activities.
10
We depend on certain key employees, and believe the loss of any of them would have a material adverse effect on our business.
We will be dependent on the continued services of our management team, as well as our outside consultants. While we have no assurance that our current management will produce successful operations, the loss of such personnel could have an adverse effect on meeting our production and financial performance objectives. We have no assurance that we will not lose the services of these or other key personnel and may not be able to timely replace any personnel if we do lose their services.
Our ability to attract qualified sales and marketing personnel is critical to our future success, and any inability to attract such personnel could harm our business.
Our future success may also depend on our ability to attract and retain additional qualified design and sales and marketing personnel. We face competition for these individuals and may not be able to attract or retain these employees, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Because our common stock could remain under $5.00 per share, it could continue to be deemed a low-priced “Penny” stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.
Since our common stock is currently under $5.00 per share, it is considered a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment even if and when a market develops for the common stock. If the trading price of the common stock stays below $5.00 per share, 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 accept the common stock for deposit into an account or, if accepted for deposit, to sell the common stock and these restrictions 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 ability to raise additional capital in the future.
11
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board, which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, generally must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. More specifically, FINRA has enacted Rule 6530, which determines eligibility of issuers quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board by requiring an issuer to be current in its filings with the Commission. Pursuant to Rule 6530(e), if we file our reports late with the Commission three times in a two-year period or our securities are removed from the OTC Bulletin Board for failure to timely file twice in a two-year period, then we will be ineligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. As of the date of this filing, we have one late filing reported by FINRA.
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 principles 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 the Company; (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 the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
12
We have one individual performing the functions of all officers and directors. Mr. Orr, our president, has developed our internal control procedures and 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.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We currently maintain an executive office 8501 North Scottsdale Road, Suite 165, Scottsdale, Arizona. Our monthly rent for this office is $3,500.
As a result of our method of operations and business plan we do not require personnel other than Mr. Orr to conduct our business. 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
We are not a party to any material legal proceedings.

Holders of Common Stock
As of April 9, 2012, we had approximately 85 stockholders of record of the 6,697,460 shares outstanding. The closing bid stock price on April 9, 2012 was $2.00.
Dividends
The payment of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, our capital requirements, our financial condition, and other relevant factors. We have not paid or declared any dividends upon our common stock since our inception and, by reason of our present financial status and our contemplated financial requirements, do not anticipate paying any dividends upon our common stock in the foreseeable future.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends. We currently do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future on the shares of common stock. We intend to reinvest any earnings in the development and expansion of our business. Any cash dividends in the future to common stockholders will be payable when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, based upon the Board’s assessment of:
·
|
our financial condition;
|
·
|
earnings;
|
·
|
need for funds;
|
·
|
capital requirements;
|
·
|
prior claims of preferred stock to the extent issued and outstanding; and
|
·
|
other factors, including any applicable laws.
|
Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends on the common stock will ever be paid.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On November 17, 2011, we issued 100,000 shares of our restricted common stock to a consultant for services rendered valued at $150,000 or $1.50 per share.
On December 13, 2011, we issued 100,000 shares of our restricted common stock to a consultant for services rendered valued at $105,000 or $1.05 per share.
We made each of the aforementioned common stock issuances in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for private offerings not involving a public distribution.
In December 2011, we sold 100,000 shares of our restricted common stock to two accredited investors for a total purchase price of $25,000 all of which was paid in cash.
14
We believe that the issuance and sale of the above shares was exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 502 of the Iowa Code as a Limited Offering Transaction. Not more than thirty-five purchasers were present in this state during any twelve consecutive months. The shares were sold directly by us and did not involve a general solicitation or involve general advertising. There were no commissions paid on the issuance and sale of the shares. Lastly, we believe that all the purchasers were purchasing for investment.
Subsequent Sales & Issuances of Unregistered Securities
In March 2012, we sold 50,000 shares of our restricted common stock to two accredited investors for a total purchase price of $25,000 all of which was paid in cash.
We made the aforementioned common stock issuances in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for private offerings not involving a public distribution.
Issuance of Registered Stock
On March 19, 2012, we issued 150,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Orr pursuant to his employment agreement. The shares issued were registered in a Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on June 28, 2011.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The Company did not repurchase any of its equity securities during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
This item is not applicable, as we are considered a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Bollente Companies Inc. was formed as a Nevada corporation in March 2008. On September 23, 2010, the Company changed its name from Alcantara Brands Corporation to Bollente Companies Inc. Effective May 16, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Bollente, Inc. through the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Bollente, Inc.
Our Operations
As a result of completing the acquisition of Bollente, Inc. on May 16, 2011, our entire operations is currently based upon the operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary Bollente, Inc., which is involved in researching and manufacturing a green technology centered on a tankless water heater system for residential and commercial purposes. Our first branded product is a high quality, whole-house, electric tankless water heater that is more energy efficient than conventional products.
15
Operation Plan
Our plan is to focus on continued research and development to improve the performance of our electric tankless water heater line, finishing the main elements of our branding strategy and launching a website introducing the features and benefits of tankless water heaters to the market. Subject to availability of capital and once we have substantially completed research and development of the tankless line, we will implement a marketing and sales program in order to begin filling the sales pipeline with potential customers, outside sales companies, and identify candidates within the plumbing and construction industries who will be interested in utilizing our electric tankless technology.
In order to increase production and increase returns for our stockholders, we will also be seeking licensing partners and private label opportunities. Depending on availability of capital, and other constraints, our goal is to increase stockholder value by acquiring stakes in companies, product licenses, and/or joint ventures which will yield additional products or services related to our tankless water heater line which we will offer to our customers or which will yield additional customers to whom we can offer out tankless water heater line.
We expect to achieve these results by:
·
|
Testing new, proprietary technologies for integration into our electric tankless water heating products;
|
·
|
Filing for patent for our electric tankless water heater line and obtaining trademark protection for our brand;
|
·
|
Launching our product website to educate retail consumers about our products;
|
·
|
Installing and testing prototype water heaters in the field in a variety of applications;
|
·
|
Designing a secondary website geared towards providing service and technical guidance to industry professionals, trade persons, and wholesale sales companies on the benefits of offering our products to their customers; and,
|
·
|
Identifying additional candidates in the plumbing and building industry in select markets to support our initial marketing and sales efforts.
|
In addition to raising additional capital we plan to begin discussions with various acquisition targets whose technologies and product offerings may augment our planned product offerings. This economic strategy may allow us to acquire or license green product lines and generally expand our existing operations.
Because of our limited operating history we have yet to generate any revenues. Our activities have been limited to raising capital, closing the recent merger, negotiating with consultants, and finalizing our consumer website design, and conducting research and testing on competitive technologies in the market place.
Our future financial results will depend primarily on: (i) our ability to raise necessary capital; (ii) obtaining required certifications to sell our products in the domestic market place; (iii) our success in obtaining patent protection for our intellectual property; and (iv) our ability to monetize our intellectual property. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in any of these respects, or that we will be able to obtain additional funding to increase our currently limited capital resources.
16
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we did not generate revenues.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased $13,663, or 38%, to $22,662 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 from $36,325 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease was as a result of the change in management and different visions for the Company.
Executive Compensation. Executive compensation increased $242,123 or 30,152% in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 from $803 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in executive compensation was the result of the employment agreement with Robertson Orr.
Product Development – Related Party. Our product development – related party expenses decreased $39,576 or 100% in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 from $0 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease was the result of change in management and direction for the Company.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased $59,530 or 100% in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 from $0 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in research and development was due primarily to development of new products and will continue to be the Company’s primary focus.
Professional Fees. Professional fees decreased $680,478, or 72%, to $263,167 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 from $943,645 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in professional fees was the result of a decline in stock based compensation.
Interest Expense – Related Party. Interest expense – related party increased $35,924 or 4,115% in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 from $873 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The increase was the result of the additional borrowings during the year. The most significant increase is due to the loan for $500,000.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $28,502 or 100% in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 from $0 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The increase was the result of additional borrowings during the year and expenses related to the conversion of accounts payable.
Net Loss. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, we generated a net loss of $653,584, a decrease of $367,638, or 36%, from $1,021,222 for the period ended December 31, 2010. The decrease was the result of change in management and change in the business operations of the Company.
17
Going Concern
The financial statements included in this filing have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate the continuance of the Company as a going concern. The Company may not have a sufficient amount of cash required to pay all of the costs associated with operating and marketing of its products. Management intends to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the effects of cash flow deficits, however no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required, will be available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue existence.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2011, we had $864 in cash, $163 in prepaid expenses and $369,375 in prepaid stock compensation. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this Annual Report. To date, we have financed our operations through the issuance of stock and borrowings.
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $185,364 for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $91,846 used in operating activities for the same period in 2010. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the decrease in stock based compensation.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $550 for the period ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $4,372 used in investing activities for the same period in 2010. The net cash used in investing activities for the current period was primarily due to filings related to trademarks.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $186,730, as compared to $95,028 for the same period of 2010. The increase of net cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to proceeds from borrowing and the sale of unregistered securities through private placements.
18
As of December 31, 2011, we continue to use traditional and/or debt financing to provide the capital we need to run the business.
Since inception, we have financed our cash flow requirements through issuance of common stock and debt financing. 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. In the future we need to generate sufficient revenues from product sales in order to eliminate or reduce the need to sell additional stock or obtain additional loans. There can be no assurance we will be successful in raising the necessary funds to execute our business plan.
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. Such risks for us include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management 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 products, 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.

ITEM 9A (T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, Robertson James Orr, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on his evaluation, Mr. Orr concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose 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 SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control, as is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These internal controls are not designed to provide reasonable assurance that the reported financial information is presented fairly, that disclosures are adequate and that the judgments inherent in the preparation of financial statements are reasonable. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal controls, including the possibility of human error and overriding of controls. Consequently, an effective internal control system can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to reporting financial information.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the receipts and expenditures of company assets are made and in accordance with our management and directors authorization; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Management has undertaken an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based upon this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2011.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
20
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
None.

Duties, Responsibilities and Experience
Robertson James Orr, has been our President, Treasurer and Secretary since May 12, 2010. Mr. Orr attended Arizona State University and graduated with a BA in Business Management. In 1998, Mr. Orr assisted in the founding of bluemedia, Inc., a successful large format digital printing company based in Tempe, Arizona. Mr. Orr lead bluemedia to profitability 9 years ago while overseeing the company's sales department and business development, and since then the company has continued to grow by more than 28% annually. In 2005, Mr. Orr and his Partners in bluemedia started a non-traditional ad agency called Blind Society, which is responsible for the direct to consumer marketing efforts of companies like AT&T, K-Swiss, and Activision. In addition to his entrepreneurial successes, Mr. Orr has been involved with supporting numerous local charitable causes through his work with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Phoenix, St. Joseph the Worker, the MDA and the ADA. He is also on the Board of Directors for the Tempe Chamber of Commerce and is active in the Phoenix 40.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws both provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.
21
Limitation of Liability of Directors
Pursuant to the Nevada General Corporation Law, our Articles of Incorporation exclude personal liability for our Directors for monetary damages based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties as Directors, except as to liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or any transaction from which a Director receives an improper personal benefit. This exclusion of liability does not limit any right which a Director may have to be indemnified and does not affect any Director’s liability under federal or applicable state securities laws. We have agreed to indemnify our directors against expenses, judgments, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim against a Director if he acted in good faith and in a manner he believed to be in our best interests.
Election of Directors and Officers
Directors are elected to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified. Officers are appointed to serve until the meeting of the Board of Directors following the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten-percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that as of the date of this filing they were current in their filings.
Code of Ethics
A code of ethics relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
(1)
|
Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
|
(2)
|
Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the Commission and in other public communications made by an issuer;
|
(3)
|
Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
|
(4)
|
The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and
|
(5)
|
Accountability for adherence to the code.
|
We have not adopted a corporate code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.
22
Our decision to not adopt such a code of ethics results from our having a small management for the Company. We believe that the limited interaction which occurs having such a small management structure for the Company eliminates the current need for such a code, in that violations of such a code would be reported to the party generating the violation.
Corporate Governance
We currently do not have standing audit, nominating and compensation committees of the board of directors, or committees performing similar functions. Until formal committees are established, our entire board of directors, perform the same functions as an audit, nominating and compensation committee.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past five years:
·
|
been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);
|
·
|
had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;
|
·
|
been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Overview of Compensation Program
We currently have not appointed members to serve on the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Until a formal committee is established, our entire Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with the Company’s compensation philosophy. The Board of Directors ensures that the total compensation paid to the executives is fair, reasonable and competitive.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Board of Directors believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Company and that aligns executives’ interests with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance above established goals, with the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value. As a result of the size of the Company and only having one officer, the Board evaluates both performance and compensation on an informal basis. Upon hiring additional executives, the Board intends to establish a Compensation Committee to evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure that the Company maintains its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly-situated executives of peer companies. To that end, the Board believes executive compensation packages provided by the Company to its executives, including the named executive officers, should include both cash and stock-based compensation that reward performance as measured against established goals.
Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions
The Board of Directors makes all compensation decisions for, and approves recommendations regarding equity awards to, the executive officers and Directors of the Company. Decisions regarding the non-equity compensation of other employees of the Company are made by management.
Summary Compensation
During the year ended December 31, 2010, our former President and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Carlos Alcantara and our former Treasurer and Secretary Ms. Shanda Alcantara received no compensation for their roles associated as the Company’s officers. Mr. and Ms. Alcantara resigned from their positions with the Company effective on May 12, 2010.
Prior to the resignations of Mr. Carlos Alcantara and Ms. Shanda Alcantara on May 12, 2010, the board of directors appointed Mr. Robertson James Orr to serve as the Company’s President, Secretary and Treasurer.
During the period May 12, 2010 through the year ended December 31, 2010, Mr. Orr, our sole executive officer, did not receive any compensation, including plan or non-plan compensation, nor did Mr. Orr earn any compensation as of December 31, 2010.
24
On March 1, 2011, we entered into a one year employment agreement with Mr. Orr. Mr. Orr will receive annual compensation of $42,000, due monthly. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, Mr. Orr earned $35,000, of which $26,521 was accrued. Additionally, Mr. Orr received 50,000 shares of common stock valued at $40,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, Mr. Orr was owed a total of 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $164,000. The 100,000 shares were subsequently issued in March 2012.
On March 1, 2012, we renegotiated Mr. Orr’s employment agreement and the annual compensation is $12,000. Mr. Orr has the option to convert the unpaid compensation to shares of common stock at a $1.00 per share. Additionally, he will receive 15,000 shares of common stock per quarter which will be valued based on the fair value of the common stock on the date the shares are earned.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The following table sets forth information, to the best of our knowledge, about the beneficial ownership of our common stock on April 9, 2012 relating to the beneficial ownership of our common stock by those persons known to beneficially own more than 5% of our capital stock and by our directors and executive officers. The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on 6,697,460 shares of common stock outstanding.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared voting or investment power. It also includes shares of common stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days after April 9, 2012 pursuant to options, warrants, conversion privileges or other right. The percentage ownership of the outstanding common stock, however, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has converted options or warrants into shares of our common stock.

Transactions with Related Persons
As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Company had accounts payable totaling $0 and $343, respectively, due to an entity that is owned and controlled by a former officer, director and stockholder of the Company.

Director Independence
We currently do not have any independent directors, as the term “independent” is defined in Section 803A of the NYSE Amex LLC Company Guide. Since the OTCQB does not have rules regarding director independence, the Board makes its determination as to director independence based on the definition of “independence” as defined under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and American Stock Exchange (“Amex”).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Bollente Companies, Inc. and Subsidiary
(Formerly Alcantara Brands Corporation)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bollente Companies, Inc. and Subsidiary (Formerly Alcantara Brands Corporation (A Development Stage Company)) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended and from inception (March 7, 2008) through December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bollente Companies, Inc. and Subsidiary (Formerly Alcantara Brands Corporation (A Development Stage Company)) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended and from inception (March 7, 2008) through December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The Company was incorporated on March 7, 2008 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Alcantara Brands Corporation. On October 5, 2010, the Company amended its articles of incorporation and changed its name to Bollente Companies, Inc.
The Company has not commenced significant operations and, in accordance with ASC Topic 915, the Company is considered a development stage company.
Nature of operations
The Company’s business model is to manufacture and distribute a new, high-quality, highly efficient electric tankless water heater.
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 contingent 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.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value.
Trademarks
ASC 350 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350. This standard also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment. As of December 31, 2011, the Company believes there is no impairment of its intangible assets.
The Company's intangible assets consist of the costs of filing and acquiring various trademarks. The trademarks are recorded at cost. The Company determined that the trademarks have an estimated useful life of 10 years and will be reviewed annually for impairment. Amortization will be recorded over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company plans to commence amortization during the third quarter 2012.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and 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.

BOLLENTE COMPANIES, INC. (FORMERLY ALCANTARA BRANDS CORPORATION)
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Level 1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets.
Level 2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputs that can be applied in three situations.
Level 3: If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,” and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.” This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date”. Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.
Stock-based compensation
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 505 and 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.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached by the FASB ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-50.
Revenue recognition
The Company's revenues will be generated from the sale of the products which will be recognized upon passage of title to the customer, typically upon product pick-up, shipment or delivery to customer.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are anticipated to be expensed as incurred; however there were no advertising costs included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

BOLLENTE COMPANIES, INC. (FORMERLY ALCANTARA BRANDS CORPORATION)
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Income taxes
The Company follows ASC Topic 740 for recording the provision for income 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 accounting 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, 2011 and 2010, 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 this 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, 2011 and 2010, no income tax expense has been incurred.
Earnings per share
The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for the earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share (“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.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bollente Companies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. On May 16, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Bollente, Inc. On the date of acquisition, Bollente, Inc. was 2.78% owned and controlled 100% by Robertson J. Orr, a majority shareholder and officer and director of Bollente Companies, Inc. and the acquisition was accounted for by means of a pooling of the entities from the date of inception of Bollente Companies, Inc. on March 7, 2008 because the entities were under common control. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

BOLLENTE COMPANIES, INC. (FORMERLY ALCANTARA BRANDS CORPORATION)
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Reclassification of related party payable
Former president of the Company, Carlos Alcantara no longer has a controlling interest in the company and has been deemed a non-related party. As such the Company has reclassified related party payables due to former president Carlos Alcantara as non-related party payables. See Note 6 for additional detail.
Recent pronouncements
The Company has evaluated the recent accounting pronouncements through March 2012 and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
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 developing its business plan and incurring start up costs and expenses. As a result, the Company incurred accumulated net losses from Inception (March 7, 2008) through the period ended December 31, 2011 of ($2,098,907). 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.
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF BOLLENTE, INC.
On March 7, 2011, the Company entered into a reverse triangular merger by and among Woodmans Lumber and Millworks Peru (“Woodmans”), a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, and Bollente, Inc., a Nevada corporation, Woodman’s and Bollente being the constituent entities in the merger, whereby the Company intends to issue 4,707,727 shares of its restricted common stock in exchange for 100% of Bollente’s outstanding membership interest. Pursuant to the terms of the merger, Woodman’s will be merged with Bollente wherein Woodmans shall cease to exist and Bollente will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Merger was anticipated to become effective on or before April 15, 2011. The Merger with Bollente, upon closing provided the Company with the ownership of 100% of Bollente. On May 16, 2011, the Company issued 4,707,727 shares of common stock and the merger closed.
On the date of acquisition, Bollente, Inc. was 2.78% owned and controlled 100% by Robertson J. Orr, a majority shareholder and officer and director of Bollente Companies, Inc. and the acquisition was accounted for by means of a pooling of the entities under GAAP because the entities were under common control at the time of the transaction. Accordingly the accompanying financial statements include the results of Bollente, Inc. from the date of inception of Bollente Companies, Inc. on March 7, 2008.
On the date of acquisition Bollente, Inc. did not have any material assets and liabilities.

BOLLENTE COMPANIES, INC. (FORMERLY ALCANTARA BRANDS CORPORATION)
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consideration for the purchase of Bollente, Inc. was 4,707,727 shares of Bollente Companies, Inc.. Robertson J. Orr, a shareholder and officer and director of Bollente, Inc. is also a shareholder in Bollente Companies, Inc., holding 10,000 shares of the 674,733 shares outstanding at the date of the acquisition.
NOTE 4 – RESTATEMENT
In May 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Bollente, Inc. and the Company was required to record the transaction as a pooling of entities and the prior year financial statements were restated as a result of the acquisition. The prior year consolidated financial statements include Bollente Companies, Inc. and Bollente, Inc.
The following is a summary of the impact of these restatements on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010:

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $297,404 and $203,495, respectively, which will begin to expire 2028. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and maintained a full valuation allowance.
