Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The funds used by Partnership I to complete the purchase described in the Debenture Purchase Agreement described in Item 4 below are funds on hand that are available for investment. Pursuant to the loan described in Item 4 below, effective May 27, 2008, Partnership I loaned AmerAlia $465,000. These funds are proceeds of the sale of interest by Partnership I to a fund that is related to Partnerships I and II, Sentient Global Resources Fund III, L.P. (“Fund III”) which is also described in Item 4 below, which proceeds are available to Partnership I for investment.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Except for Partnership II, none of the Reporting Persons owns any shares of AmerAlia. Partnership II owns 7,929,820 shares of common stock of AmerAlia. Partnership I owns warrants and exchange rights, which if exercised, would permit Partnership I to acquire shares of AmerAlia. Most of the warrants and exchange rights were originally acquired by Fund I and Trust I in connection with loans made by Trust I and Fund I to AmerAlia’s subsidiary. These loans are evidenced, in part, by the secured debentures (Exhibits C-F), which have been transferred to Partnership I together will all other interests owned by Trust I and Fund I that relate to AmerAlia and its subsidiary Natural Soda Holdings, Inc. (“NSHI”) and its partially owned subsidiary Natural Soda, Inc. (“NSI”). NSI is the operating company that is partially owned (46.5%) by NSHI. Additionally, Partnership I loaned money (described below) to AmerAlia and has the right to convert amounts owed to it into shares of common stock of AmerAlia. This statement reports four separate transactions, each of which was entered into on May 27, 2008:

	(i)		On May 27, 2008, Partnership I entered into a Debenture Purchase Agreement (Exhibit W) with Natural Soda, Inc., a second tier partially owned subsidiary of AmerAlia. That agreement is effective as of October 31, 2007, Pursuant to that agreement, Partnership I purchased from Natural Soda, Inc., a Secured Series A 10% Debentures Due September 30, 2005 (Exhibit X) issued by NSHI in the principal amount of $750,000 plus interest that was accrued thereon as of the purchase date in the amount of $271,215.75 (as of October 31, 2007), and interest accruing thereafter. The purpose of this transaction was to provide additional working capital to Natural Soda, Inc. As a condition of completing this purchase, NSI delivered a General Release (Exhibit DD) pursuant to which AmerAlia, NSHI, and NSI released claims against several of the Reporting Persons and their affiliates, and Bill Gunn, and Robert van Mourik released claims against several of the Reporting Persons and their affiliates and against AmerAlia, NSHI and NSI.

	(ii)		On May 27, 2008, a fund that has been established by the Sentient group of companies for purposes similar to Partnerships I and II, Sentient Global Resources Fund III, L.P. (“Fund III”), entered into an Interest Purchase Agreement (Exhibit Y) with AmerAlia and with Partnership I. Pursuant to this agreement, Fund III purchased interest owed to AmerAlia ($1,406,875) and Partnership I ($2,076,334.20) on the Series A Debentures owned by each (in the form of Exhibit


		CUSIP No. 23559-26		Page		17		of		28

			X) as of March 31, 2008. The purpose of this transaction is to provide capital to AmerAlia so that it may make payments to secured creditors of AmerAlia that are owed money pursuant to several Series A Debenture Secured Promissory Notes due September 30, 2005 issued by AmerAlia to several individuals. Interest was also purchased from Partnership I for the purpose of providing it with additional capital to invest in Natural Soda, Inc., to permit it to loan funds to AmerAlia (both of which are described below), and as a partial return on its investment.

	(iii)		Effective May 27, 2008, the two shareholders of Natural Soda, Inc., Partnership I (53.5%) and NSHI (46.5%) made additional capital contributions to Natural Soda, Inc. in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 (Exhibits Z and AA). These proceeds will be used by NSI to fund the drilling of an additional well. To enable NSHI to make its capital contribution, Partnership I made a loan of $465,000 to AmerAlia, effective May 27, 2008, evidenced by a Promissory Note (Exhibit BB). (See Item 4(b) below).

	(iv)		On May 27, 2008, Partnership II and AmerAlia agreed to extend until July 31, 2008, the maturity date of the loan to AmerAlia of $350,000 (originally made on August 24, 2007 and originally due on December 31, 2007) (Exhibit CC). That loan was made to resolve claims with one of its creditors and to help pay legal and audit fees so that AmerAlia may bring itself current in required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission which have not been made when due and have not completed audits for the Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2006 and 2007. AmerAlia has not yet made those required filings.

Payments required under the debentures issued by NSHI and owned by Partnership I (and the unsecured debt purchased by Partnership II from the Mars Trust) have not been made when due and Partnership I and Partnership II have the right to declare a default thereunder. If Partnership I declares a default under its debentures, it has the right to take control of the Board of Directors of NSHI or to purchase shares so that it has control of NSHI. Once the defaults are cured, any directors appointed by Partnership I for the purposes of curing the default will be removed and any shares of NSHI purchased will be repurchased by NSHI at cost. These provisions are set forth in Section 3.01(d) of the Securityholder Agreement (Exhibit A). Partnership I reserves the right to declare a default under the debentures at any time, and to exercise these or any other remedies. The Reporting Persons disclaim any undertaking to advise if Partnership I elects not to declare a default, and any election not to exercise these or any other remedies.

Further, substantially all of the assets of NSI and NSHI have been pledged as collateral for the Series A and Series B debentures issued by NSHI which are owned by (i) Partnership I (including the Series A Debenture purchased pursuant to the Debenture Purchase Agreement); (ii) AmerAlia and pledged by it to third parties; and (iii) Fund III (interest purchased from AmerAlia and Partnership I). If the indebtedness of NSHI is not restructured (discussed in Item 4(b) below) and the creditors, led by Partnership I, exercise their rights as secured creditors it is possible that the assets of NSHI and NSI would be sold with the proceeds used to discharge indebtedness of NSHI and NSI and only the surplus, if any, would be available to NSHI, NSI, and AmerAlia, as appropriate. The Reporting Persons do not believe that there would be any surplus. The Reporting Persons disclaim any undertaking to advise if Partnership I elects not to declare a default, and any election not to exercise these or any other remedies.

The Reporting Persons may evaluate on an ongoing basis AmerAlia’s (and NSHI’s and NSI’s) financial condition, business operations and prospects, the market price of AmerAlia’s common shares, conditions of securities markets generally, general economic and industry conditions and other factors. Any one or more of the Reporting Persons may hold discussions with AmerAlia, NSHI or NSI in which they may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in the operations, management or capital structure of AmerAlia, NSHI or NSI as a means of enhancing shareholder value. Such suggestions or positions may relate to one or more of the transactions described in Items 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D under Rule 13d-1(a).

(a) The acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer.

Partnership I made a loan of $465,000 to AmerAlia, effective May 27, 2008 and evidenced by a Promissory Note (Exhibit BB). The loan bears interest at six percent per annum and is payable on or before July 31, 2008. The note (Exhibit BB) evidencing that loan is convertible by Partnership I into shares of AmerAlia at


		CUSIP No. 23559-26		Page		18		of		28

$0.36 per share. If the note is converted, Partnership I would receive 1,305,473 shares of AmerAlia’s common stock (assuming that interest accrued through the maturity date is also converted).

On August 24, 2007, Partnership II loaned AmerAlia $350,000 to resolve claims with one of its creditors and to help pay legal and audit fees so that AmerAlia may bring itself current in required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission which have not been made when due. The loan bears interest at six percent per annum and is payable on or before December 31, 2007, which date has been extended to July 31, 2008 (Exhibit CC). The note (Exhibit U) is convertible by Partnership II into shares of AmerAlia at $0.36 per share. If the note is converted, Partnership II would receive 1,028,233 shares of AmerAlia’s common stock (assuming that interest accrued through the extended maturity date is also converted).

Partnership I, Partnership II and Fund III are in discussions with AmerAlia, NSHI, and NSI concerning recapitalizing the investments originally made by Trust I and Fund I (including the remaining debentures owned by Partnership I, all other interests of Partnership I, Partnership II, and Fund III in AmerAlia, NSHI, and NSI, including interests purchased from the Mars Trust by Partnership II and the 53.5% of the common stock of NSI owned by Partnership I). Partnership I, Partnership II, and Fund III have discussed various alternatives for restructuring, including exchanging some or all of the securities they own for other securities of AmerAlia, NSHI, and/or NSI and exchanging debt for equity. The Reporting Persons believe that it is unlikely that these discussions will lead to a definitive agreement unless AmerAlia is current in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including filing all overdue reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and completing the audits necessary for filing those reports. There is no assurance that the discussions will result in any agreement and the Reporting Persons disclaim any obligation to disclose any failure to reach such an agreement.

Interests in AmerAlia, NSHI or NSI may be transferred by Partnership I, Partnership II and Fund III so that such interest are owned by them in different proportions. There is no current plan by the Reporting Persons to transfer any interests in AmerAlia, NSHI or NSI to any person not related to the Reporting Persons.

(b) Any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries.

See Item 4(a) above. There is no assurance that the discussions concerning the reorganization and/or recapitalization of AmerAlia and it subsidiaries will result in any agreement and the Reporting Persons disclaim any obligation to disclose any failure to reach such an agreement.

(c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries.

As of the date of this filing, NSHI has failed to make required payments of principal and interest on its Series A, B1 and C debentures. Partnership I is the largest secured creditor of NSHI and NSI and, as a result of acquiring various interests from the Mars Trust, Partnership II is the largest unsecured creditor of those entities and AmerAlia. If Partnership I, Partnership II, Fund III, AmerAlia, NSHI and NSI are unable to recapitalize NSHI (described in Item 4(a) above), the secured creditors, led by Partnership I, may exercise their rights in the collateral for the debentures, which collateral constitutes essentially all of the assets of NSHI and NSI. If that collateral is sold or transferred to the creditors, there may be no assets remaining for the other subordinated creditors of NSHI or for AmerAlia. Partnership I reserves the right to declare a default under the debentures at any time, and to exercise these or any other remedies. The Reporting Persons disclaim any undertaking to advise if Partnership I elects not to declare a default, and any election not to exercise these or any other remedies.

(d) Any change in the present board or directors or management of the Issuer, including plans or proposals to change the number of term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board.

Partnership I has the right to appoint two directors of NSHI and two directors of NSI. As of May 27, 2008, Partnership I had only appointed two directors of NSI, Mark Jackson and Peter Cassidy and Partnership I had not appointed any directors of NSHI. Mark Jackson is a director of Executive I, Executive II, and MLP I. Peter Cassidy is a director of Trustee I, Executive I, Executive II, and MLP I. The Reporting Persons have suggested that AmerAlia, NSHI and NSI retain the services of an additional management level employee for the operations and intend to suggest up to three persons to be nominated for election as directors of AmerAlia, once AmerAlia is current with its required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The Reporting Persons have several different interests in securities of AmerAlia:

	(i)		Partnership II purchased 7,929,820 shares of the common stock of AmerAlia from the Mars Trust effective August 22, 2007, at a purchase price of $0.30 per share or $2,378,946. These shares represent 45.99% of AmerAlia’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (based on the numbers from AmerAlia’s Form 10-KSB for December 31, 2006).

	(ii)		On August 24, 2007, Partnership II loaned AmerAlia $350,000. The note evidencing that loan (Exhibit U) is convertible by Partnership II into shares of AmerAlia at $0.36 per share. That note was originally due on December 31, 2007, which date has been extended to July 31, 2008 (Exhibit CC). If the note is converted, Partnership II would receive 1,028,233 shares of AmerAlia’s common stock (assuming that interest accrued through the extended maturity date is also converted). If the conversion occurs as described, Partnership II would own 49 % of the common stock of AmerAlia (ignoring any additional shares that may be acquired by Partnership I, Partnership II or by Fund III, but including the shares Partnership II currently owns).


		CUSIP No. 23559-26		Page		20		of		28

	(iii)		On May 27, 2008 Partnership I loaned AmerAlia $465,000. The Note evidencing that loan (Exhibit BB) bears interest at 6% per annum, compounded monthly and is due on or before July 31, 2008. That note is convertible by Partnership I into shares of AmerAlia at $0.36 per share. If the note is converted on the maturity date, Partnership I would receive 1,305,473 shares of AmerAlia’s common stock (assuming that interest accrued through the extended maturity date is also converted). If the conversion occurs as described, Partnership I would own 7 % of the common stock of AmerAlia (ignoring any additional shares that may be acquired by Partnership I, Partnership II or by Fund III).

	(iv)		Partnership I has warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock of AmerAlia. The exercise price is $1.00 and the warrants expire on March 19, 2009. If exercised, Partnership I would acquire 600,000 shares of AmerAlia’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock or approximately 3.36 % (ignoring any shares that may be acquired by Partnership I with its exchange rights and also ignoring any shares owned or that may be acquired by Partnership II or by Fund III).

	(v)		Partnership I has the right to exchange the Series B1 Debentures and the shares of common stock of NSI that Partnership I owns, into shares of AmerAlia’s common stock. The exact number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by Partnership I pursuant to the exchange rights depends on several factors, none of which can be determined until the exchange rights have been exercised. Those factors (which are described in detail in Section 3.15(b) of the Securityholder Agreement, Exhibit A) are: (i) the amount of unpaid principal and interest on Series B1 Debentures, (ii) the value of the shares of NSI owned by Partnership I (which itself is determined by determining the Adjusted EBITDA of NSI allocating to Partnership I the percentage of NSI’s Adjusted EBITDA based on Partnership I’s share ownership (i.e., 53.5%), and multiplying the result times 5, all as set forth in the Securityholder Agreement), and (iii) the Exchange Price (which is 85% of the average between the bid and the asked prices of the Common Stock of AmerAlia during the 30 calendar days prior to exercise of the exchange rights) and the other terms and conditions of the exchange rights, conversion rights and warrant purchase rights. The numbers set forth in this filing are an estimate assuming that (i) the maximum amount of principal and interest that Partnership I could claim as of April 30, 2008 is the total amount payable as of the time the rights are exercised, (ii) The Adjusted EBITDA of NSI was estimated for the purposes of this calculation to be approximately $2,110,697 for the twelve months ended April 30, 2008 (the Reporting Persons were unable to obtain precise breakdowns of well field expenses or a complete explanation of a couple of other charges included in the financial information provided by AmerAlia, forcing the Reporting Persons to estimate some of the components of the required calculation), and (iii) using the closing price of AmerAlia’s common stock on April 29, 2008, of $.54, instead of the average between the bid and the ask price of the shares of common stock of AmerAlia for the 30 days prior to the date of exchange to determine the Exchange Price (the stock of AmerAlia does not trade on a regular basis and has traded as high as $1.01 per share and as low as $.54 per share, closing as high as $.70 and as low as $.54 during the thirty-day period prior to May 27, 2008). The higher the trading price, the lower the number of shares that could be acquired by Partnership I pursuant to the exchange rights).

The effect of the foregoing is that Partnership I could acquire up to a maximum of 129,373,670 shares of common stock of AmerAlia (a maximum of 88.24 % of AmerAlia’s common stock), assuming the warrants are exercised and the maximum amount of interest that could be claimed by Partnership I, with the exchange price equal 85% of $0.54 per share or $0.46 per share). Included in the foregoing are up to 1,305,473 shares of AmerAlia which Partnership I could obtain upon the conversion of the $465,000 promissory note referenced in Item 4(a) above (assuming that it is converted on its maturity date of July 31, 2008, and inclusive of all interest thereon) (a maximum of 7% of AmerAlia after giving effect to the issuance of the conversion shares, but assuming that Partnership I does not acquire any other shares).

Partnership II owns 7,929,820 shares and could acquire up to an additional 1,028,233 shares of AmerAlia upon the conversion of the $350,000 promissory note referenced in Item 4(a) above (assuming that it is converted on its extended maturity date of July 31, 2008, and inclusive of all interest thereon) (a maximum of 49 % of AmerAlia after giving effect to the issuance of the conversion shares).


		CUSIP No. 23559-26		Page		21		of		28

If Partnership I and Partnership II acquire the maximum number of shares (based on the foregoing assumptions and assuming that AmerAlia’s authorized capital is amended as described in Item 4(g) above), collectively Partnerships I and II would collectively own 138,331,723 shares of AmerAlia or 93.7% of AmerAlia’s issued and outstanding common stock.

None, except as described herein.
