Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits

AmerAlia and Sentient USA Resources Fund, L.P. ("Sentient"), are parties to a shareholder agreement governing their conduct as shareholders of Natural Soda Holdings Inc. ("NSHI"). Pursuant to Section 3.1 of this agreement, AmerAlia has received a notice to participate in additional funding of NSHI in the amount of $2,500,000. The additional financing will allow NSHI to fund the expansion of Natural Soda's nahcolite resources, explore further utilization of NSI's water rights and potential oil shale. AmerAlia's proportionate contribution to this additional financing is $450,000. Under the recapitalization agreement completed with Sentient and other parties in October 2008, AmerAlia had reserved $2,880,000 for NSHI capital calls.

NSHI's subsidiary, NSI, is currently engaged in an exploration and production cavity installation program which is expected to cost approximately $9 million over time. While NSI is generating sufficient free cash flow to provide for most of this expenditure, NSI needs the additional financing to fund the initial investment.

Consequently, AmerAlia and Sentient have completed the Contribution Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.56 and advanced the required funding to NSHI.
