NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2009 and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the periods presented herein have been prepared by Delta Mutual, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Delta”) 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, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The information for the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 was derived from audited financial statements.
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. During the year ended December 31, 2008, all of the operations in the Far East (Indonesia) were discontinued. In addition, the construction technology activities conducted solely by its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, Delta Technologies, Inc., were discontinued. See Notes 1, 4, 5 and 7 for further information regarding these discontinued operations.
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 all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of 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 13,000,000 shares of its common stock to Egani for the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of stock 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, as of March 4, 208, 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 Egani.
The principal business activity of Altony is the ownership and management of its SAHF subsidiary. During the year ended December 31, 2008, SAHF shifted its focus from investments in securities of Latin American entities to investments in oil and gas concessions and exploration rights 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 North America.
In 2007, SAHF acquired ownership interests in four oil and gas concessions in Argentina. The majority owners of these concessions have established joint ventures, registered in Argentina, that are in the process of obtaining the necessary government and environmental permits to begin operations at these concessions. SAHF will become a member of the joint ventures in 2009, when it receives its foreign registration in Argentina. In the first quarter of 2008, SAHF agreed to exchange half of the ownership interests it held in the concessions to a third party, that agreed to assume 50% of the SHAF’s subsequent development costs related to these four concessions. As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s ownership interests in these concessions ranged from nine to 23.5 percent.
In 2008, SAHF acquired 40% of the rights to explore for oil and gas in five geographic areas located in Northern Argentina.
Following the acquisition of Altony, the Company continued to pursue selected business opportunities in the Middle East that are conducted by its joint venture subsidiary Delta-Envirotech, Inc. (“Envirotech”), headquartered in Virginia.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2009 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 the risks of its oil and gas investments in South America. 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 operations of the oil and gas concession in Argentina. 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 oil and gas revenue 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 investments 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.
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 the 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.
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.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period. As the Company experienced a loss during the six months ended June 30, 2009, 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 and stock options. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, there were 274,992 potential common shares, respectively, related to convertible debt and 350,000 and 699,800 common shares, respectively, related to stock options.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognized 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. The Company was in the business of trading securities and gains and losses from the sale of securities are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
EVALUATION OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews property and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets and investments in non-consolidated affiliates 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.
INVESTMENTS
At acquisition, marketable debt and equity securities are designated as trading securities which are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses reflected in results of operations.
EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS
The Company accounts for non-marketable investments using the equity method of accounting if the investment gives it the ability to exercise significant influence over, but not control of, an investee. Significant influence generally exists if there is an ownership interest representing between 20% and 50% of the voting stock of the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, investments are stated at initial cost and are adjusted for additional investments and their proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. The Company records its share of the investee’s earnings or losses in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated entities, net of income taxes, in its consolidated statement of operations. Equity investments of less than 20% are stated at cost. The cost is not adjusted for its proportionate share of earnings or losses. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of such investments may have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value. When evidence of loss in value has occurred, the Company compares fair value of the investment to its carrying value to determine whether impairment has occurred. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value and management considers the decline to be other than temporary, the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized as impairment in the consolidated financial statements.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan under which stock options are granted to employees. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment."
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. The functional currency in South America is the U.S. dollar. Translation adjustments are recorded in Cumulative Other Comprehensive Income. The translation gains or losses were not material for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and there were no adjustments to Cumulative Other Comprehensive Income.
POLITICAL RISK
The Company is exposed in the inherent risks for the foreseeable future of conducting business internationally. Language barriers, foreign laws and tariffs and taxation issues all have a potential effect on he Company’s ability to transact business. Political instability may increase the difficulties and costs of doing business. Accordingly, events resulting from changes in the political climate could have a material effect on the Company.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, all of the operations in the Far East (Indonesia) were discontinued. During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the construction technology activities that were carried out solely by the wholly-owned subsidiary, Delta Technologies, Inc., were discontinued. Also, as of December 31, 2008, the trading of securities by its South American Hedge Fund subsidiary were accounted for as discontinued operations. These discontinued operations resulted in a gain (loss) of $(6,452) and $(2,034,218) and $61 and $19,462, respectively, for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
For financial instruments including cash, 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 September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities using fair value. This Standard provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-1, “Application of SFAS No. 157 to SFAS No. 13 and its “Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements that Address Leasing Transactions,” (“FSP SFAS 157-1”) and FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-2, “Effective Date of SFAS No. 157” (“FSP SFAS 157-2”). FSP SFAS 157-1 excludes SFAS No. 13 and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions from the requirements of SFAS No. 157, with the exception of fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recorded as a result of a lease transaction but measured pursuant to other pronouncements within the scope of SFAS No. 157. FSP SFAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). FSP SFAS 157-1 and FSP SFAS 157-2 became effective for the Company upon adoption of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. The Company completed its implementation of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), which replaces SFAS 141 “Business Combinations.” This Statement is intended to improve the relevance, completeness and representational faithfulness of the information provided in financial reports about the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in a business combination. This Statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. Under SFAS 141(R), acquisition-related costs, including restructuring costs, must be recognized separately from the acquisition and will generally be expensed as incurred. That replaces SFAS 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141(R) shall be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual report period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 141(R) effective January 1, 2009 and it did not 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. 62 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. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 162 effective January 1, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of non-controlling interests (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the non-controlling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership in a subsidiary that does not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the non-controlling equity investment of the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interest of the parent and its non-controlling interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods other than fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 160 effective January 1, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
2. ACQUISITION
Effective March 4, 2008, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company acquired from Egani, Inc. all the shares of stock of Altony SA, an Uruguayan Sociedad Anonima (“Altony”), which owns 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests in South American Hedge Fund LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (sometimes referred to as “SAHF”). At the closing of the Agreement, the Company issued 130,000,000 shares of its common stock to Egani, Inc. which constituted, following such issuance, a majority of the outstanding shares of its common stock. Immediately following the closing of the Agreement, Altony became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

6. INVESTMENT IN NONCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
The Company has a 23.5% ownership interest in the Jollin and Tonono oil and gas concessions located in Northern Argentina. During 2007, the Company purchased a 47% ownership of these concessions and paid the purchase price by issuing a non-interest bearing note in the principal amount of $1,820,000 to Oxipetrol-Petroleros de Occidente S.A. (Oxipetrol), one of the other owners, with a maturity date of July 2008. The Company’s purchase price was based upon the price tendered by the original purchasers of the concessions that was and accepted by the Argentine government, who formerly owned these properties. The government uses a number of factors In determining the selling prices for oil and gas concession in Argentina, including the location and size of the concession and the current market prices of crude oil and natural gas. Prior to the maturity date, the Company and Oxipetrol mutually agreed to reduce the principal amount of the Company’s note primarily because of changes in oil and gas prices. Based upon the purchase price reduction, the Company repaid Oxipetrol $1,270,000 at the maturity date. Based on these circumstances, the Company recorded a one time, retroactive adjustment, reducing the value of this investment by $550,000 at December 31, 2008.
During 2008, the Company exchanged 50% of its ownership in this investment with a third party for no cash consideration, however, the acquirer contractually agreed to assume 50% of the Company’s obligations with respect to future development expenses. The Company recorded a $635,000 loss on disposition of this investment in its consolidated statement of operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, majority owners of the Jollin and Tonono concessions formed an Argentine-registered joint venture and paid, in the aggregate, approximately $848,00 of development costs, all of which were capitalized. Since the Company is not currently registered as a foreign company in Argentina, it could not become a member of the joint venture in 2008. The other owners of these concessions have agreed that, upon admission of the Company as a member of the joint venture, the Company will retain its 23.5% ownership. However, the Company’s weighted average pro-rata portion of the 2008 aggregate development cost, of approximately $223,024, all of which is included in accounts payable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008, will be repaid to the other members from its pro-rata share of the future earnings. The Company has applied for foreign registration in Argentina and expects to be admitted as a member of the joint venture during 2009.
Currently, there is an oil well certified for commercial operation at the Tonono Concession. Delivery of the commercial production from this well is expected by the end of the third quarter of 2009. A well on the Jollin Concession contains natural gas and can begin production upon completion of a connecting pipeline that will connect this well to a major distribution pipeline. The connecting pipeline is owned by the joint venture and is currently the pre-construction phase. If the anticipated oil and gas revenue does not offset the development costs for these concession in 2009 and beyond, or is not sufficient to repay the Company’s obligation to the other owners, the Company’s share of the development and operating expenses will be borne by the other owners subject to the repayment method described above. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company paid approximately $193,500 for development expenses at the Jollin and Tonono concessions, all of which was capitalized, and is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company’s weighted average pro-rata portion of the development expenses at the Jollin and Tonono concessions was approximately $70,500, all of which is included in accounts payable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, and will be repaid to the other owners as described above.
During 2008, the Company purchased 40% of the oil and gas exploration rights to five geographically defined areas in the Salta Province of Northern Argentina from Kestal, SA, a company that acquired 100% of these explorations rights from the government of Argentina in 2007. Kestal retained a 60% interest. The price Kestal paid to acquire these rights from the government was determined by the process described above. The Company paid the $697,000 purchase price in cash and incurred no additional costs or expenses related to this investment in 2008. The Company expects that in 2009 and 2010, substantially all of the exploration costs required to retain these exploration rights will be borne by the majority owner.
The Company has 9% ownership of the Tartagal and Morillo oil and gas concessions located in Northern Argentina. During 2007, the Company purchased an 18% ownership of these concessions and paid the purchase price by issuing a non-interest bearing note in the principal amount of $480,000 to Oxipetrol, one of the other owners, with a maturity date of July 2008. The purchase price for this investment was based on the original price paid to the Argentine government to acquire these concessions, following the process described above. Prior to the maturity date, the Company and Oxipetrol mutually agreed to reduce the principal amount of the Company’s note primarily because of changes in oil and gas prices. Based upon the purchase price reduction, the Company repaid Oxipetrol $450,000 at the maturity date. Based on these circumstances, the Company recorded a one time, retroactive adjustment reducing the value of this investment by $30,000 at December 31, 2008.
During 2008, the Company exchanged 50% of its ownership in this investment with a third party for no cash consideration, however, the acquirer contractually agreed to assume 50% of the Company’s obligations with respect to future development expenses. The Company recorded a $225,000 loss on disposition of this investment in its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2009, a Hong Kong public company purchased 60% of the ownership in the Tartagal and Morillo Concessions, from the other majority owners, for total consideration of approximately $270 million. These funds will be used for development and operating expenses in 2009 and beyond.
The Company evaluated these investments for impairment and concluded that, except as described above, no loss in value occurred as of June 30, 2009. The following table summarizes the Company’s investments in these nonconsolidated affiliates.

11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On April 22, 2009, the Company’s board of directors approved amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation to: (1) effect a 1 for 10 reverse split of all the outstanding common stock; and (2) authorize a new class of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and to authorize the board of directors to issue one or more series of the preferred stock with such designations, rights, preferences and restrictions as determined by majority vote of the directors. Thereafter on April 23, 2009, the Company received written consent from stockholders of the Company holding a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock approving the Amendments. The effective date of the Amendments is the date the reverse stock split is made effective for trading purposes by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). FINRA approved the reverse split for trading purposes effective July 6, 2009. The number of shares in these financial statements reflect a reduced number of shares outstanding of the Company’s common stock from 223,849, 518 to 22,384,916 as of June 30, 2009.

One June 3, 2009, Delta Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and a discontinued operation (“Delta Technologies”), was notified by a law firm engaged by Wolf Block LLP (“Wolf Block”), a law firm that had provided intellectually property legal services to Delta Technologies, that it had been retained in an attempt to collect a past due amount of approximately $41,000. If Delta Technologies does not make payment arrangements or cannot otherwise resolve this matter, Wolf Block has authorized a lawsuit to be filed against Delta Technologies and/or the Company. Delta Technologies has contacted the law firm retained by Wolf Block to dispute the amount of the past due legal services provided by Wolf Block, and is attempting to establish the correct amount past due prior to making repayment arrangements, if any. The Company believes that the resolution of this matter will have no material effect on the Company or its operations.
ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION ANDRESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in this report.
Certain statements contained in this report, including, without limitation, statements containing the words "believes," "anticipates," "expects" and words of similar import, constitute "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including our ability to create, sustain, manage or forecast our growth; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; changes in our business strategy or development plans; competition; business disruptions; adverse publicity; and international, national and local general economic and market conditions.
GENERAL
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 17, 1999. In 2003, we established business operations focused on providing environmental and construction technologies and services in the Far East, the Middle East, and the United States. As of December 31, 2008, the construction technology activities and our business in the Far East (Indonesia) were discontinued.
On March 4, 2008, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Egani, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“Egani”). Pursuant to the Agreement, we acquired from Egani 100% of the shares of stock 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 (sometimes herein referred to as “SAHF”). At the closing of the Agreement, we issued 13,000,000 shares of our Common stock to Egani for the purchase of Altony which constituted, following such issuance, a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Immediately following the closing of the Agreement, Altony became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. For accounting purposes, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of the Company with Altony as the acquirer.
The Company’s principal business at this time is conducted by our subsidiary, South American Hedge Fund, which has investments in oil and gas concessions in Argentina and intends to focus its investments in the energy sector, including development of energy producing investments and alternative energy production in Latin America and North America. Following the acquisition of SAHF, management has continued to pursue selected business opportunities 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.
Reverse Stock Split
Effective July 6, 2009, we effected a 1:10 reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of our outstanding common stock, pursuant to a definitive information statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Following effectiveness of the Reverse Split, each ten (10) shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective date was automatically converted into one (1) share of our common stock. By reason of the Reverse Split, the number of outstanding shares of our common stock was reduced from 223,849,158 shares to 22,384,916 shares.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred a net loss of $762,137 primarily due to a loss from continuing operations of approximately $756,000. 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.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $756,000 compared to approximately $1,100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in our loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 over the comparable period of the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $263,000 and the elimination of a loss on intellectual property that occurred during the prior year period of approximately $123,000.
Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $762,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $3,131,000 for the comparable prior year period. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 included a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $2,034,000 primarily associated with the liquidation of the investment portfolio.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $455,574 compared to $527,145 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in our loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 over the comparable period of the prior year was primarily due the decrease of a loss on intellectual property of approximately $123,000 offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $48,000.
Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $456,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $508,000 for the comparable prior year period. The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2008 included a loss on intellectual property of $122,742 and a gain from discontinued operations of approximately $19,500.
PLAN OF OPERATION
The primary focus of the Company’s business is its South American Hedge Fund subsidiary that has investments in oil and gas exploration and production 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 North America. As of December 31, 2008, the securities trading activities of South American Hedge Fund were accounted for as discontinued operations.
Oil and Gas Investments
Our main source of revenue will derive from the sale of crude oil and natural gas produced form the four oil and gas concessions in which we have made investments. While we are not the operators of these concessions, we expect to have representation on the operating committees that are responsible for managing the business affairs of these concessions. Our ownership interests in these concessions range from nine to 23.5%.
Jollin and Tonono Concessions
In 2008, the majority owners of these concessions formed an Argentine-registered joint venture to operate these concessions. Since SAHF is not currently registered in Argentina, it could not become an official member of the joint venture. The other owners of the joint venture have agreed that SAHF will be admitted as a member of the joint venture, upon the registration of SAHF as a foreign company in Argentina. SAHF has applied for foreign registration and expects to become a member of the joint venture in 2009.
A well located in the Tonono Concession became operational for the commercial production of oil in the first quarter of 2009. Delivery of the commercial production is currently expected by the end of the third quarter. A well located in the Jollin Concession contains commercial quantities of natural gas. A natural gas pipeline connecting the Jollin Concession to a major distribution pipeline is in the pre-construction phase. The connecting pipeline when completed will be owned by the joint venture. It is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2009. Upon completion, it will permit the joint venture to commence deriving additional revenue from the sale of natural gas.
Tartagal and Morillo Concessions
In 2008, the majority owners of the Tartagal and Morillo Concessions agreed to form an Argentine-registered joint venture and applied for government approval of the license to operate the concessions. SAHF expects to receive its foreign corporation registration in 2009 and join the joint venture when it formed and is registered with the government.
In March 2009, a Hong Kong public company, following approval by its shareholders, agreed to acquire a 60% participation interest in these concessions for approximately $280 million. The Company expects that the funds from this acquisition will be used for development and operating expenses in 2009 and beyond. Deliveries of crude oil from these concession are expected to begin in 2009.
Exploration Rights
SAHF holds a 40% interest in the oil and gas exploration rights to five geographically defined areas in the Salta Province of Northern Argentina. Provided certain development activities are under taken by the majority owner, these exploration rights will remain in effect until the year 2010.
Middle East
Envirotech is the Middle East distributor of an organic supplement designed to increase crop yield. During the second half of 2008, a Saudi Arabian farm operator purchased sample quantities of the organic supplement for crop testing. Subsequent purchases in commercial quantities will depend upon the evaluation of the crop yield that began in the second quarter of 2009 and is currently in process.
FUNDING
Our current business plan for 2009 and beyond anticipates a substantial increase in revenue primarily from our investments in oil and gas concessions in Argentina. If we do not achieve the expected levels of revenue, we may be required to raise additional capital through equity and/or debt financing.
LIQUIDITY
At June 30, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $2.9 million, compared with a working capital deficit of approximately $2.4 million at December 31, 2008. The increase as of June 30, 2009 was due primarily to increases in accounts payable of approximately $92,000; accrued expenses of approximately $$106,999; and notes payable of approximately $301,000.
At June 30, 2009, we had total assets of approximately $2.0 million compared to total assets of approximately $1.8 million at December 31, 2008. The increase is primarily attributable to additional investments in the amount of approximately $264,000 made in our oil and gas concessions in Argentina.
Cash decreased approximately $10,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to additional investments in our oil and gas concessions of approximately $264,000 and cash used in operations activities (primarily a net loss of $762,137 offset by the non-cash option issuance of $393,940) offset by proceeds from loans of approximately $311,000.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ISSUES
The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to intangible assets, income taxes and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Other Matters
Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities using fair value. This Standard provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-1, “Application of SFAS No. 157 to SFAS No. 13 and its “Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements that Address Leasing Transactions,” (“FSP SFAS 157-1”) and FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-2, “Effective Date of SFAS No. 157” (“FSP SFAS 157-2”). FSP SFAS 157-1 excludes SFAS No. 13 and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions from the requirements of SFAS No. 157, with the exception of fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recorded as a result of a lease transaction but measured pursuant to other pronouncements within the scope of SFAS No. 157. FSP SFAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). FSP SFAS 157-1 and FSP SFAS 157-2 became effective for the Company upon adoption of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. The Company completed its implementation of SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), which replaces SFAS 141 “Business Combinations.” This Statement is intended to improve the relevance, completeness and representational faithfulness of the information provided in financial reports about the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in a business combination. This Statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. Under SFAS 141(R), acquisition-related costs, including restructuring costs, must be recognized separately from the acquisition and will generally be expensed as incurred. That replaces SFAS 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141(R) shall be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual report period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 141(R) effective January 1, 2009 and it did not 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. 62 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. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 162 effective January 1, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of non-controlling interests (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the non-controlling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership in a subsidiary that does not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the non-controlling equity investment of the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interest of the parent and its non-controlling interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods other than fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 160 effective January 1, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Securities and Exchange Commission recently issued “Financial Reporting Release No. 60 Cautionary Advice About Critical Accounting Policies” (“FRR 60”), suggesting companies provide additional disclosures, discussion and commentary on their accounting policies considered most critical to its business and financial reporting requirements. FRR 60 considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and requires significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in the application of the policy. For a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies discussed below, please refer to the accompanying
notes to the financial statements.Foreign currency risk - 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. The functional currency in South America is the U.S. dollar. Translation adjustments are recorded in Cumulative Other Comprehensive Income.
The Company assesses potential impairment of its long-lived assets, which include its property and equipment, investments, and its identifiable intangibles such as deferred charges under the guidance of SFAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” The Company must continually determine if a permanent impairment of its long-lived assets has occurred and write down the assets to their fair values and charge current operations for the measured impairment.
Investments in non-consolidated affiliates – These investments consist of the Company’s ownership interests in oil and gas development and exploration rights in Argentina, net of impairment losses if any.
We evaluate these investments for impairment when indicators of potential impairment are present. Indicators of impairment include, but are not limited to, levels of oil and gas reserves, availability of pipeline (or other transportation) capacity and infrastructure and management of the operations in which the investments were made.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Commodity Price Risk – We are exposed to market risks related to price volatility of crude oil and natural gas. The price of crude oil and natural gas affect our revenues, since sales of crude oil and natural gas from our South American investments comprise nearly all of our revenue. A decline in crude oil and natural gas prices will likely effect our revenues, unless there are offsetting production increases. We do not use derivative commodity instruments for trading purposes.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEEDURES
a. Disclosure controls and procedures.
As of the end of the Company's most recently completed fiscal quarter (the fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
b. Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On September 16, 2008, the Company was notified of a complaint filed with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry by its former President and CEO alleging non-payment of wages in the amount of $53,271.

One June 3, 2009, Delta Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and a discontinued operation (“Delta Technologies”), was notified by a law firm engaged by Wolf Block LLP (“Wolf Block”), a law firm that had provided intellectually property legal services to Delta Technologies, that it had been retained in an attempt to collect a past due amount of approximately $41,000. If Delta Technologies does not make payment arrangements or cannot otherwise resolve this matter, Wolf Block has authorized a lawsuit to be filed against Delta Technologies and/or the Company. Delta Technologies has contacted the law firm retained by Wolf Block to dispute the amount of the past due legal services provided by Wolf Block, and is attempting to establish the correct amount past due prior to making repayment arrangements, if any.
