EMERGING DELTA CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION
---------------------------
The financial statements included herein, which have not been audited pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, reflect
all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods on a basis consistent with
the annual audited financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. The results of the operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for an entire year. Certain
information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial
statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended March 31, 2004.
General Business and Nature of Operations
- -----------------------------------------
Emerging Delta Corporation (the "Company" or "Delta") was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Delaware on February 10, 1993, for the purpose of seeking
out business opportunities, including acquisitions, that the Board of Directors,
in its discretion, believes to be good opportunities. Coincident with the
formation of the Company, one similar company was formed, which is managed by
the same officers and directors and is engaged in the same business. The Company
will be heavily dependent on the skills, talents, and abilities of its
management to successfully implement its business plan. Due to its currently
limited funds, it is likely that the Company will not be able to compete with
larger and more experienced entities for business opportunities which are less
risky and are more attractive to such entities; business opportunities in which
the Company ultimately participates will likely be highly risky and speculative.
On November 26, 2003 management control of the Company was changed in connection
with a tender offer. New management intends to continue operating the Company as
a blind pool, as further described herein.
The Company's proposed business is sometimes referred to as a "blind pool"
because investors entrust their investment monies to the Company's management
before they have a chance to analyze any ultimate use to which their money may
be directed. Consequently, the Company's potential success is heavily dependent
on the Company's management, which will have virtually unlimited discretion in
searching for and entering into a business opportunity.
The Company and EZklick, Inc., have agreed effective October 26, 2004, to
terminate their May 24, 2004 Plan of Collaboration with the objective of
acquiring ownership of several independent grocery wholesale distribution
centers ("IWDCs"), commonly called "Cash and Carry's".
The Company plans to continue working with Altos Growth Corporation as a
consultant to research the IWDC industry, identify prospective candidates for
acquisition, assist in negotiating the terms and conditions of acquisitions and
assist in securing debt and equity financing that is needed in the Company's
acquisition efforts.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-------------------------------
The financial statements as of September 30, 2004 and for each of the six month
periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are unaudited, but in the opinion of
the management of the Company, contain all adjustments, consisting of only
normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position at
September 30, 2004 the results of operations for the six months ended September
30, 2004 and 2003 and the cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2004
and 2003.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
--------------------------
Officers and directors are compensated based on actual time and expenses devoted
to the Company's business. During each of the six months ended September 30,
2004 and 2003 consulting fees of $18,000 were paid to the Company's Chief
Executive Officer. During each of the respective periods ended September 30,
2004 and 2003, consulting fees of $4,500 were paid to the Company's Chief
Financial Officer.
Effective May 24, 2004, the Company entered into a services agreement with Altos
Growth Corporation ("AGC"), pursuant to which AGC agreed to provide advisory
services to Delta in connection with the acquisition of several independent
grocery wholesale distribution centers ("IWDCs"). AGC's services are to include
finding IWDC acquisition candidates, negotiating their acquisition and arranging
for financing of such acquisitions. AGC agreed to provide the services of Martin
Nielson as a director and Executive Vice President for Corporate Development of
Delta; for such services, Delta has agreed to pay AGC $10,000 per month.
Effective September 1, 2004 AGC agreed to reduce the monthly fee to $5,000.
Effective November 1, 2004, AGC has agreed that Delta shall have the option to
pay the monthly fee in whole or in part by issuing new common shares of Delta at
an issue price per share of $15.00.
Effective September 30, 2004 Delta issued to AGC stock warrants for the purchase
of 4,350 shares of common stock at a price of $15.00 per share. The warrants
will expire September 30, 2005. AGC will be permitted to pay for the shares by
applying fees owed by Delta for services provided by AGC.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
You must read the following discussion of the plan of the operations and
financial condition of the Company in conjunction with its financial statements,
including the notes, included in this Form 10-QSB filing. The Company's
historical results are not necessarily an indication of trends in operating
results for any future period.
Overview
The Company was incorporated in 1993 for the purpose of seeking out business
opportunities, including acquisitions, that the Board of Directors, in its
discretion, believes to be good opportunities. The Company's proposed business
is sometimes referred to as a "blind pool" because investors entrust their
investment monies to the Company's management before they have a chance to
analyze any ultimate use to which their money may be directed. Consequently, the
Company's potential success is heavily dependent on the Company's management,
which will have virtually unlimited discretion in searching for and entering
into a business opportunity.
The Company's current focus is on seeking out business opportunities. The
Company has created a web site, found at www.cleanpublicshellco.com, to assist
in finding business opportunities. The Company has begun the process of
contacting potential referral sources with respect to potential acquisitions.

Results of Operations
Six and Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2004 compared to September 30,
2003
The Company has commenced no operations and has no activities other than seeking
out potential business opportunities. Interest income for the six and three
months ended September 30, 2004 was $320 and $181 respectively compared to the
six and three months ended September 30, 2003 of $1,413 and $623 respectively.
The decrease in interest income in 2004 is due to lower interest rates and
decreased cash invested compared to 2003. Costs and expenses for the six and
three months ended September 30, 2004 were $74,454 and $41,289 respectively
compared to the six and three months ended September 30, 2003 of $68,697 and
$35,428 respectively. Costs and expenses consist primarily of consulting fees,
travel and legal expenses. Consulting fees in the six and three months ended
September 30, 2004 were $57,500 and $36,250 respectively compared to the six and
three months ended September 30, 2003 of $22,500 and $11,250 respectively. The
increase in 2004 is due to the $10,000 monthly consulting fee paid to Altos
Growth Corporation, commencing with June 2004, for their services as described
above. The decrease in other costs and expenses during the six and three months
ended September 30, 2004 compared to the six and three months ended September
30, 2003 is primarily due to decreased legal and travel expenses incurred in
connection with potential business acquisitions in 2004 compared to 2003 and
expenses related to shareholder meetings in 2003.
IMPORTANT FACTORS RELATING TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In connection with forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-QSB and
those that may be made in the future by or on behalf of the Company which are
identified as forward-looking by such words as "believes," "intends" or words of
a similar nature, the Company notes that there are various factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in any such
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this
Form 10-QSB were prepared by management and are qualified by, and subject to,
significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other uncertainties
and contingencies, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many
of which are beyond the control of the Company. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-QSB will
be realized or the actual results will not be significantly higher or lower.
These forward-looking statements have not been audited by, examined by, compiled
by or subjected to agreed-upon procedures by independent accountants, and no
third party has independently verified or reviewed such statements. Readers of
this Form 10-QSB should consider these facts in evaluating the information
contained herein. In addition, the business and operations of the Company are
subject to substantial risks which increase the uncertainty inherent in the
forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-QSB. The inclusion of the
forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-QSB should not be regarded
as a representation by the Company or any other person that the forward-looking
statements contained in this Form 10-QSB will be achieved. In light of the
foregoing, readers of this Form 10-QSB are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on the forward-looking statements contained herein.

disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed in the reports we file with the SEC is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the rules of the SEC. Within 90 days prior to the filing of our Quarterly
Report on Form 10-QSB, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and
the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, of the design and operation of these disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to the Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon
that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely
alerting them to material information relating to the Company that is required
to be included in our periodic SEC filings. (b) Changes in internal controls.
There were no significant changes in internal control over financial reporting
during out most recent completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or
