NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010 and notes thereto included in the Company’s 10-K annual report and all amendments. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Results of operations for the interim period are not indicative of annual results.
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.
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.

BOLLENTE COMPANIES INC. (FORMERLY ALCANTARA BRANDS CORPORATION)
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Earnings per share
The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for the earnings per share. Basic earning 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 earning 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. (Nevada Corporation), and its wholly-owned subsidiary Woodmans Lumber and Millworks Peru (Nevada Corporation). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Bollente Companies, Inc. (Nevada Corporation) and Woodmans Lumber and Millworks Peru (Nevada Corporation) will be collectively referred herein to as the “Company”.
Recent pronouncements
The Company has evaluated the recent accounting pronouncements through ASU 2011-03 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 March 31, 2011 of ($1,459,464). 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.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
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.
In 2010 we sought to identify viable business in the area of natural resources. Our presence in Peru positioned us to capitalize on the nascent mining industry there. Peru's mining industry has garnered an increasing amount of investment from major mining and mineral companies seeking to capitalize on the vast deposits of silver, gold, copper, zinc, and rare earth metals such as lithium. Additionally, in July of 2010, management expanded the business objectives of the Company to include the identification of ecologically responsible businesses that can be leveraged by management to create value for stockholders.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, we started to explore the consumer products industry with a focus on products and services that feature superior cost/benefit to the end user while achieving greater efficiencies with regard to residential and commercial utility usage and operating costs. Management expects the Company will realize a material increase in revenues and improved operating margins upon entry into the market with new, proprietary technologies and services.
On March 7, 2011, we entered into a reverse triangular merger by and among Woodmans Lumber and Millworks Peru (“Woodmans”), a Nevada corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Bollente, Inc., a Nevada corporation, Woodmans and Bollente, Inc. being the constituent entities in the merger, whereby we intend to issue 4,707,727 shares of our 144 restricted common stock in exchange for 100% of Bollente, Inc.’s issued and outstandingcommon stock. Pursuant to the terms of the merger, Woodmans will be merged with Bollente, Inc. wherein Woodmans shall cease to exist and Bollente, Inc. will become our wholly owned subsidiary. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Merger was anticipated to become effective on April 15, 2011.
On April 20, 2011, the Company’s OTC-BB ticker symbol changed from ACBR to BOLC.
Subsequent Events
On May 5, 2011, we entered into an Addendum No. 1 (“Addendum”) to the Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 9, 2011 (“Original Agreement”) by and among Woodmans Lumber and Millworks Peru (“WOODMANS”), a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, and Bollente, Inc. (“Bollente, Inc.”), a Nevada corporation. Pursuant to the Addendum the effective date was extended from April 15, 2011 to May 16, 2011 to complete the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
On May 16, 2011, we filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State, State of Nevada which completed the reverse triangular merger by and among WOODMANS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, and Bollente, Inc. Pursuant to the merger agreement WOODMANS ceased to exist and Bollente, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant.
10
As a result of the merger, our entire operations are currently based upon the operations of 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. The company’s first product is a high quality, whole-house, electric tankless water heater that is more energy efficient than conventional products.
Bollente, Inc.’s Tankless Electric Water Heaters
The Company is 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 temperature with an affordable, durable and reliable design. Bollente, Inc. has several features and design innovations which are new to the electric tankless water heater market that will give Bollente Inc.’s products a sustainable competitive advantage over its rivals in the market.
Our tankless water heaters are built to provide an endless hot water supply because they are designed to heat water as it flows through the system, and are capable of higher flow rates at a given temperature because of its improved design and great 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. However, Bollente, Inc. will improve life-cycle costs as well by virtue of an improved design conceived not only to increase efficiency, but also the longevity of its products versus competitive units. Generally, a typical tank water heater lasts 7-14 years. 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. These are some of the advantages we believe our product will offer to consumers.
Introduction to our Business Development Strategy
We have determined that as part of our growth strategy, we will seek consulting contracts with 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. While gaining consulting clients operating in sectors relating to products and services geared toward environmental responsibility by consumers and commercial clients, we will operate with a view towards identifying acquisition candidates.
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 consulting revenues and assisting the Company with our own planning, structure, and capitalization.
We have identified several entities that fit our criteria. Specifically, these entities are in need of consulting to:
1.
|
Build a management team;
|
2.
|
Create a proper corporate and capitalization structure; and/or,
|
3.
|
Engage various third-party service providers with the ability to assist in launching products or services.
|
11
We are focused on adding value to these companies with a view towards 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 consulting clients and relationships with 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. We currently do not have any intellectual property we consider proprietary, as we are currently in our development stage.
Results of Operations
Please note that the results of operations provided below do not relate to the current operations acquired through the closing of the merger with Bollente, Inc., as the closing occurred subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Revenues
Since our inception on March 7, 2008 through March 31, 2011, we have not generated any revenues.
Expenses
Operating expenses totaled $21,864 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $441,489 in the prior year. In the three month period ended March 31, 2011, our expenses primarily consisted of General and Administrative of $10,323 and Professional fees $11,541.
Professional fees decreased $381,799 from the three months ended March 31, 2010 to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The professional fees decreased due to lack of issuance of warrants. During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company granted 20,000 warrants for legal fees which were valued at $308,176 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 when no warrants were granted.
General and administrative fees increased $1,750 from the three months ended March 31, 2010 to the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was primarily attributed to an increase in compensation due to the President of the Company.
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.
12
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2011, we had $1,544 in cash and cash equivalents. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this Quarterly 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 three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

Operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $25,567 for the period ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $9,463 used in operating activities for the same period in 2010. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $4,615 for the period ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $40,000 used in investing activities for the same period in 2010. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to lack of loans to related parties.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the period ended March 31, 2011 was $31,628, as compared to $48,475 for the same period of 2010. The decrease of net cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to a decrease in proceeds from the sale of common stock in addition to a decrease in proceeds from related party notes.
Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to meet potential cash requirements. We have historically met our capital requirements through the issuance of stock, by borrowings, and through sales-generated revenue. In the future, we anticipate we will be able to provide the necessary liquidity we need by the revenues generated from the sales of our products.
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.
13
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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
This item in not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. As of the end of the period covered by this report, Robertson J. Orr, our President and Principal Accounting Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on the evaluation, which disclosed no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, Mr. Orr, our President and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in timely alerting him to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
14
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.
PART II--OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us, which may materially affect us.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
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 infringment, 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.
15
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.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On February 25, 2011, we issued 3 Units in exchange for Thirty Thousand dollars ($30,000) to an Accredited Investor in a transaction that was not registered under the Act. Each Unit consists of an Eleven Thousand Dollar ($11,000) debenture maturing in fifteen (15) months from the closing of the offering, plus Ten Thousand (10,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company, at a purchase price of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) per Unit.
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 4(2) and Regulation D Rule. The shares were sold directly by us and did not involve a public offering or general solicitation. The recipients of the shares were afforded an opportunity for effective access to files and records of the Registrant that contained the relevant information needed to make their investment decision, including the financial statements and 34 Act reports. We reasonably believed that the recipient, immediately prior to the sale of the shares, was an accredited investor and had such knowledge and experience in our financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment. The management of the recipients had the opportunity to speak with our management on several occasions prior to their investment decision. There were no commissions paid on the issuance and sale of the shares.
On March 3, 2011, we entered into an agreement with Stoecklein Law Group (“SLG”) to cancel an outstanding bill of $115,768.14 for legal services in exchange for 250,000 shares of unrestricted Common Stock (the “Shares”). SLG was a related party in this transaction by virtue of being a beneficial owner, and remains a beneficial owner after the Merger closed on May 16, 2011.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement we are in the process of issuing a total of 4,707,727 shares of our restricted common stock in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Bollente, Inc.
We believe that the issuance and sale of the above shares and warrants was exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2) and Regulation D Rule 506. The shares were sold directly and did not involve a public offering or general solicitation. The recipients of the shares and warrants were afforded an opportunity for effective access to files and records of the Company that contained the relevant information needed to make their investment decisions, including the financial statements and 34 Act reports. We reasonably believed that the recipients, immediately prior to the sale of the shares, had such knowledge and experience in our financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investments. The recipients had the opportunity to speak with the Company’s management on several occasions prior to their investment decision. There were no commissions paid on the issuance and sale of the shares.
16
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
We did not repurchase any of our equity securities from the time of our inception on March 7, 2008 through the period ended March 31, 2011.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 5. Other Information.
On March 1, 2011, we entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, Robertson James Orr, wherein Mr. Orr agreed to serve as Chief Executive Officer. The term of the agreement began on March 1, 2011 and will expire on February 28, 2012 with an option for the Company to renew the agreement for an additional year. The Company agreed to compensate Mr. Orr with a base annual salary of Forty Two Thousand ($42,000) dollars; or alternatively, Mr. Orr has the option to recieve shares of common stock in lieu of cash at a rate of $1 per share. In addition, Mr. Orr is entitled to receive 200,000 common shares, which shall vest in equal quarterly payments. The first payment of 50,000 shares will occur on May 31, 2011. The employment agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.
