Diluted losses per share, in addition to the weighted average determined for basic loss per share, include common stock equivalents, which would arise from the conversion of the preferred stock to common shares.

Note 7 - Subsequent Events
On April 16, 2009, Hammonds entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with FabCorp, Inc., a Houston-based manufacturing company, pursuant to which Hammonds sold all of its assets, including all of the shares of its discontinued subsidiaries, Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc., Hammonds Technical Services, Inc., Hammonds Water Treatment Systems, Inc. and Hammonds ODV, Inc. (collectively, the “Discontinued Subsidiaries”) to a newly formed Texas company, Hammonds Technologies, LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of FabCorp, Inc.
The Board of Directors decision to enter into the Asset Purchase Agreement was based upon the following reasons, among others: the poor business outlook for the Discontinued Subsidiaries because of Hammonds’ inability to raise sufficient capital, either through equity or debt financing to continue its operations and grow the businesses of the Discontinued Subsidiaries; the weak financial viability of the Discontinued Subsidiaries without a substantial infusion of capital; that at December 31, 2008, Hammonds total current liabilities were about $6.9 million compared to current assets of about $2.8 million and total liabilities were about $7.3 million or about $460,000 more than total assets (all amounts unaudited); for more than the past year, Hammonds’ management had been actively seeking financing, either through equity or debt, necessary to support ongoing operations and to that end had retained investment banking consultants pursuing several possible financing opportunities, but none of these efforts were successful and no additional financing was raised; the ongoing upheaval in the credit and investment environment; and the determination by Hammonds management that it would be unable to continue as a “going concern.”
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, FabCorp purchased all of the assets, free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances, in consideration for the payment of liabilities of Hammonds to Texas Community Bank in the amount of $2.6 million, payment of the senior promissory bridge note of $250,000 to Hammonds’ institutional investor, Vision Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd., the assumption of all payables and liabilities of the Discontinued Subsidiaries of approximately $2.6 million and the commitment to provide continuing financial support for the Discontinued Subsidiaries.
Based upon the foregoing, Hammonds’ Board of Directors determined that is was in the best interests of Hammonds and its shareholders that Hammonds enter into the Asset Purchase Agreement, so that Hammonds could pursue other business opportunities through a merger, acquisition or other business combination with an operating entity.
On August 13, 2009, Hammonds Industries, Inc., American International Industries, Inc., Delta Seaboard Well Service, Inc., and the minority interest owners of Delta entered into an agreement to commence a reverse merger of Delta into Hammonds. As part of the merger, Hammonds effected a 1 for 10 reverse stock split for its common stock. Additionally, the Company intends to issue shares of Common Stock to the present stockholders of Delta as follows: (i) 22,186,572 post-Reverse Split shares in consideration for American’s 51% equity ownership of Delta, and 10,000,000 post-Reverse Split shares in consideration for American converting $872,352 in principal and accrued interest of debt payable by the Company to American; and (ii) a total of 21,316,510 shares to Robert W. Derrick, Jr., Delta’s president and a director of American and Ron Burleigh, Delta’s vice president, in consideration for their 49% equity ownership of Delta, and 9,607,843 post-Reverse Split shares in consideration for extending their employment agreements for five years in addition to the balance of their current employment agreements. Following the Reverse Split and Reverse Merger, American will own 32,859,935 shares of Common Stock, representing 48.2% of the Company’s total outstanding shares and Messrs. Derrick and Burleigh, will own 30,924,353 shares of Common Stock, representing 45.4% of the Company’s total outstanding shares. All other stockholders of the Company will own 4,357,962 shares of Common Stock, representing 6.4% of the Company’s total 68,142,250 outstanding shares.
On December 31, 2009, Daniel Dror resumed his position as Chairman and CEO of Hammonds Industries, Inc. Mr. Dror had previously served as Chairman and CEO of Hammonds Industries, Inc from April 2005 to December 2008.

Overview
Hammonds Industries, Inc., a Nevada corporation, is publicly traded on the Pink Sheets: Symbol "HMDI". The Company was incorporated on August 18, 1986. In 2005, the Company, through its parent company, acquired 51% of the capital stock of Hammonds Technical Services, Inc. Hammonds Technical Services, Inc. and Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc. were separate privately-owned Texas companies. In connection with the 2005 acquisition by the Company, Hammonds Fuel Additives was merged into Hammonds Technical Services. In April 2005 and January 2006, respectively, Hammonds Fuel Additives and Hammonds Water Treatment Systems, respectively, were reincorporated as separate entities from Hammonds Technical Services, and all three entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. On August 1, 2006, the Company acquired the 49% minority interest of Hammonds Technical Services, Inc., Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc., and Hammonds Water Treatment Systems, Inc. in consideration for the issuance to Carl Hammonds of 1,600,000 restricted shares of common stock, valued at a price of $2.50 per share, the price of the Company's common stock at the date of the transaction.
The Company received approximately $5.4 million from the 2006 and 2007 VOMF Private Financing Transactions. The material terms of these preferred stock issuances are included in note 4 to the financial statements.
Prior to the year ended December 31, 2008, in accordance with FIN 46(R), American International Industries, Inc. (American), consolidated Hammonds, even though its ownership was less than 51%, because American appointed the members of Hammonds’ board of directors.
On December 31, 2008, the board of directors of American approved the deconsolidation of Hammonds from American. To effect the deconsolidation of Hammonds, American was required to reduce its ownership percentage, board membership, and guarantee of Hammonds’ debt. After the distribution of the special dividend of approximately 1.74 million shares of Hammonds’ common stock to American's shareholders of record on December 31, 2008, American's ownership is approximately 13% of Hammonds' issued and outstanding common stock. Effective December 31, 2008, Carl Hammonds was appointed Chairman and CEO and John Stump, III was appointed CFO. Hammonds accepted the resignations of Daniel Dror, as Chairman of the Board and CEO, Sherry L. Couturier, as Director, CFO and Vice President, and Charles R. Zeller, as Director, and appointed Richard C. Richardson as a new board member unrelated to American. As a result, the majority of Hammonds’ board of directors is no longer controlled by American. Additionally, a reduction of American's guarantee of Hammonds’ debt to $1,000,000 was obtained from Texas Community Bank.
On April 16, 2009, Hammonds entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with FabCorp, Inc., a Houston-based manufacturing company, pursuant to which Hammonds sold all of its assets, including all of the shares of its discontinued subsidiaries, Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc., Hammonds Technical Services, Inc., Hammonds Water Treatment Systems, Inc. and Hammonds ODV, Inc.
