NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Delta Mutual, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Delta” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on November 17, 1999. Since 2003, the principal business activities of the Company were focused on providing environmental and construction technologies and services to certain geographic reporting segments in the Far East, Middle East and the United States.
On March 4, 2008, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Egani, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“Egani”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired from Egani 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests held by Egani in Altony S.A., an Uruguay Sociedad Anonima (“Altony”), which owns 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests in South American Hedge Fund LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SAHF”). At the closing of the Agreement, the Company issued 130,000,000 shares of its common stock to Egani, for the purchase of all of the outstanding membership interests in Altony which constituted, following such issuance, a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.
Immediately following the closing of the Agreement, Altony became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. For accounting purposes only, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of the Company with Altony as the acquirer. The financial statements prior to March 4, 2008 are those of Altony and reflect the assets and liabilities of Altony at historical carrying amounts. The financial statements show a retroactive restatement of Altony’s historical stockholders’ equity to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued to the subsidiary.
The principal business activity of Altony is the ownership and management of its SAHF subsidiary. SAHF has initially focused on oil and gas investments in Argentina and intends to continue its focus on the energy sector, including the development and supply of energy and alternate energy sources in Latin America and the United States.
In August 2007, SAHF signed a purchase option for a partial interest in three oil and gas concessions in Argentina. SAHF is in the process of obtaining the necessary government and environmental permits to operate these concessions.
The Company intends to continue its environmental technology and service activities in the Middle East that are conducted by its joint venture subsidiary Delta-Envirotech, Inc. (“Envirotech”), headquartered in Virginia. The construction technology activities that were conducted by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Delta Technologies, Inc. (“Technologies”) are being phased out because the Company has elected not to pursue its patent for the insulating concrete wall forming (ICF) system known as Delta Wall.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008, and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the periods presented herein have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The information for the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 was derived from audited financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2008 have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Management recognizes that the Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain needed working capital through additional equity and/or debt financing and revenue to cover expenses as the Company continues to incur losses.
The Company's business is subject to most of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. The likelihood of success of the Company must be considered in light of the expenses, difficulties, delays and unanticipated challenges encountered in connection with the formation of a new business, raising operating and development capital, and the marketing of a new product. There is no assurance the Company will ultimately achieve a profitable level of operations.
The Company presently does not have sufficient liquid assets to finance its anticipated funding needs and obligations. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain needed working capital through additional equity and/or debt financing and achieve a level of sales adequate to support its cost structure. Management is actively seeking additional capital to ensure the continuation of its current activities and complete its proposed activities. However, there is no assurance that additional capital will be obtained or that the Company’s subsidiaries will be profitable. These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The Company's financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries where its ownership is more than 50 percent of common stock. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of any Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, regardless of its ownership percentage. All significant intercompany balances and transactions with consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Where the Company's ownership interest is less than 100 percent, the minority ownership interests are reported in the consolidated balance sheet as a liability. The minority ownership interest of the Company's earnings or loss, net of tax, is classified as "Minority interest share of earnings (loss) of consolidated subsidiaries" in the consolidated statements of operations.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
LOSS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Potential common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation because the effect would be antidilutive. Potential common shares relate to the convertible debt, stock options and common stock purchase warrants. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, there were 2,749,920 and 15,008,587 potential common shares related to convertible debt, respectively, and 6,998,000 and 7,978,000 potential common shares related to stock options, respectively.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue from the results of its investment portfolio as the difference between proceeds from the sale of securities and their acquisition cost, less commissions paid to the firm that conducts the securities transactions.
EVALUATION OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with guidance in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." If the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds the present value of the related estimated future cash flows, the asset would be adjusted to its fair value and an impairment loss would be charged to operations in the period identified.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan under which stock options are granted to employees. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company accounts for stock based compensation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method. Under modified prospective application, this SFAS applies to new awards and to awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date shall be recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. The compensation cost for the portion of awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for either recognition or pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123. Changes to the grant-date fair value of equity awards granted before the required effective date of this Statement are precluded. The compensation cost for those earlier awards shall be attributed to periods beginning on or after the required effective date of this SFAS using the attribution method that was used under SFAS 123, except that the method of recognizing forfeitures only as they occur shall not be continued.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach under which deferred taxes are recognized by applying enacted tax rates applicable to future years to the differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of reported assets and liabilities. The principal item giving rise to deferred taxes are future tax benefits of certain net operating loss carryforwards.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The functional currency for some foreign operations is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at balance sheet date rates of exchange and income, expense and cash flow items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Translation adjustments in future periods will be recorded in Cumulative Other Comprehensive Income. The translation gains or losses were not material for the six and three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
INTANGIBLES
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 specifies the financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are subject to, at a minimum, an annual impairment test. If the carrying value of goodwill or intangible assets exceeds its fair market value, an impairment loss would be recorded.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
For financial instruments including cash, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable and convertible debt, it was assumed that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of such instruments.
NEW FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. This Statement is effective sixty days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 162 on its financial statements.
2. INVESTMENTS

The Company used the conversion value of the convertible debt and calculated fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model for its estimate of fair value. The Company compared the allocated proceeds of the convertible debt to the difference between its conversion value and face amount. The calculated fair value of the convertible debt of $722,855 was recorded as the value of the Beneficial Conversion Feature and accordingly credited to Additional Paid-in Capital. The value of the warrants of $235,545 was recorded as a reduction of the convertible debt. The convertible debt was recorded at zero. The convertible debt was accreted to its face value after 2004, 2005 and 2006 conversions, under the interest method per APB 21, until it either converted or matured.
In May 2006, the Company issued a convertible note to a related party in the principal amount of $16,000, bearing interest at 6% per annum.

14. INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no adjustment in the net liability for unrecognized income tax benefits.
15. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) "Share-Based Payment," requiring the recognition of compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the fair value of its employee share-based options and awards. SFAS No. 123(R) revises SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS No. 123(R) is supplemented by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No.107 "Share-Based Payment." SAB No.107 expresses the SEC staff's views regarding the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations including the valuation of share-based payment arrangements.
The Company recognizes the cost of all employee stock options on a straight-line attribution basis over their respective contractual terms, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company has selected the modified prospective method of transition; accordingly, prior periods have not been restated. Prior to adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the Company applied APB Opinion No. 25, and related interpretation in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. All employee stock options were granted at or above the grant date market price. Accordingly, no compensation cost was recognized for fixed stock option grants.
At June 30, 2008, the Company had one share-based compensation plan, which is described below. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2008, the adoption of SFAS No.123(R) resulted in an aggregate pretax compensation expense recognized in net loss for stock based compensation of $393,490 and $196,745, respectively. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2008, the aggregate pretax compensation expense caused basic and diluted earnings per common share to decrease by $-0- and $-0- per share, respectively.
The Company also issues shares of its common stock to non-employees as stock-based compensation. The Company accounts for the services using the fair market value of the services rendered. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued 10,550,000 shares, and recorded compensation expense of $238,500 in conjunction with the issuance of these shares.
Stock Option Plan
In December 2001, the Company's stockholders approved the 2001 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "2001 Plan"), pursuant to which 2,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance. In August 2004, the Company's stockholders approved the 2004 Stock Option Plan (the "2004 Plan"), pursuant to which 10,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance. As of June 30, 2008, there were 3,002,000 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2004 Plan.
The Company was also authorized to issue shares of stock to its employees from its 2001 Plan. The Company expensed the issuance of stock awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123. Shares issued from the 2001 Plan were expensed at the time of issuance, as the stock issued had no restrictions to the employees.
The Company did not issue any stock options to its employees during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Consulting Agreements
In August 2005, Delta Technologies, Inc. entered into a consulting agreement with Richard F. Straub, Jr. ("Straub") for a period of three years, to provide ongoing technical assistance and support in the production of Technologies' insulating concrete wall forming products.

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 17, 1999. Since 2003, our principal business activities were focused on providing environmental and construction technologies and services in the Far East, the Middle East, and the United States.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred a net loss of $3,130,832 primarily attributable to investment results and operating expenses related to the South American Hedge Fund. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain funds to meet our obligations on a timely basis, obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitability. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional financing or that such financing will be on terms favorable to us. The inability to obtain additional financing when needed would have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007.
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred a net loss of approximately $508,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $482,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
The increase of $24,344 in our operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2008 over the comparable period of the prior year was primarily due to a net increase in revenue of approximately $491,000, offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $396,000 and a loss on intellectual property of approximately $123,000. .
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred a net loss of approximately $3,131,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $964,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The increase in our operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 over the comparable period of the prior year was due to an decrease of approximately $1,860,000 in invetment results combined with an increase of approximately $997,000 in general and administrative expenses.
The Company’s newly acquired South American Hedge Fund subsidiary has oil and gas investments in Argentina and will continue to focus on the energy sector, including the development and supply of energy and alternative energy sources in Latin America and the United States.
In August 2007, South American Hedge Fund signed a purchase option for three interests in oil and gas concessions in Argentina. We are in the process of obtaining the necessary government and environmental operating permits for our operation of these concessions. Our primary focus will be, upon receipt of the governmental approvals relative to our investment in these concessions, to develop two wells per month.
To supplement our growth, we may also consider mergers and acquisitions, although we have no acquisitions contemplated or under discussion at this time.
In addition, we are currently evaluating newly developed alternative energy technologies for possible investment and development.
Following the acquisition of Altony and South America Hedge Fund, we have continued to pursue environmental remediation and other projects in the Middle East. These activities are conducted by our joint venture subsidiary, Delta-Envirotech, Inc. (“Envirotech”). We have operating control of Envirotech and hold a 45% percent ownership interest. Envirotech has entered into strategic alliance agreements with several United States-based entities with technologies and products in the environmental field to support its activities.
In March 2007, we reached a working agreement to provide equipment to manufacture insulating concrete form (ICF) products for the building industry in Saudi Arabia. Because of lengthy and unexpected delays by the potential purchaser, we are currently evaluating whether or not it is in the Company’s best interests to continue with this agreement or seek other purchasers of the equipment. Envirotech expanded its product line by securing the master distribution rights for the Middle East for a gas-imaging product used in oilfield and refining operations that has been approved for testing by ARAMCO, the Saudi government oil company. ARAMCO has scheduled field trials to test this equipment that we expect will be completed by the end of September 2008.
We have withdrawn from the Indonesia market. Our decision was based on the additional expenses we would incur to meet the new requirement of a second contract with Pertamina (the government-owned oil company), that our processing equipment be moved off the refinery property. We are currently evaluating whether to redeploy the processing equipment or sell it to a third party.
At June 30, 2008 we had a working capital surplus of $292,827, compared with a surplus of $1,361,976 at December 31, 2007. This decrease at June 30, 2008 is a result of a decrease in current investments of approximately $1,741,000.
At June 30, 2008, we had total assets of $4,489,994, compared to total assets of $7,563,657 at December 31, 2007. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to the decrease in total investments of approximately $2,870,000 and a decrease in intangible assets of approximately $126,000.
In June 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. This Statement is effective sixty days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 162 on its financial statements.
The functional currency for some foreign operations is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at balance sheet date rates of exchange and income, expense and cash flow items are translated at
the average exchange rate for the period. Translation adjustments in future periods will be recorded in Other Comprehensive Income. The translation gains or losses were not material for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 specifies the financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill and intangible assets
that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but rather they are tested at least annually for impairment unless certain impairment indications are identified.
We are primarily exposed to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk.
Foreign Currency Risk – Our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or, weak economic conditions in foreign markets. Because our revenue is reported in U.S. dollars, fluctuating exchange rates of the local currency, when converted into U.S. dollars, may have an adverse impact on our revenue and income. We have not hedged foreign currency exposures related to transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. We do not engage in financial transactions for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. Investments that are classified as cash and cash equivalents have original maturities of three months or less. Interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Although we have significant short-term investments, due to the short-term nature of our investments, we believe that there is not a material risk exposure.
Commodity Price Risk – With operations in the energy sector, our results will be dependent on the pricing of energy commodities.
