Item 9; Sales of Equity Securities Pursuant to Regulation S
The following information is provided as required by Item 701 of Regulation
S-B.
(a) On 23 February 1998, AmerAlia, Inc. (Nasdaq: "AALA") accepted a
subscription agreement for the purchase of 50,000 of AALA's common stock
pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act").
(b) There was no principal underwriter, broker, or finder involved in the
transaction. The securities were only offered to a single investor in Australia
not affiliated with AALA.
(c) AALA received $30,000 in cash and the investor cancelled a $20,000
promissory note of which AALA was the maker. The total consideration received
by AALA was, therefore, $50,000. The note comprised three interest-free
advances to AALA made in June-August, 1997, to evidence AALA's obligation to
repay the investor $20,000 borrowed by AALA at that time.
(d) The issuance was accomplished pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933
Act. The investor was not a U.S. Person; no Distributor was involved; no
Directed Selling Efforts in the United States were accomplished; the investor
accepted the required Offering Restrictions; and in the opinion of AALA, the
transaction was an Offshore Transaction.
(e) Not applicable since the securities are not convertible.
