 Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
  Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
  The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of American International Industries, Inc. (“American”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in American's latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year. Notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.
  Organization, Ownership and Business

American, a Nevada corporation, operates as a diversified holding company with a number of wholly-owned subsidiaries and one 48.2% owned subsidiary. American is a diversified corporation with interests in industrial/commercial companies and an oil and gas service business. American's business
strategy is to acquire controlling equity interests in businesses that it considers undervalued. American's management takes an active role in providing its subsidiaries with access to capital, leveraging synergies and providing management expertise in order to improve its subsidiaries' growth.
Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American International Industries, Inc. ("American") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Northeastern Plastics, Inc. ("NPI") and Shumate Energy Technologies, Inc. ("SET"), and Delta Seaboard International, Inc. ("Delta"), in
which American holds a 48.2% shareholder interest.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
On February 3, 2010, Hammonds Industries Inc. ("Hammonds") and Delta Seaboard Well Service, Inc. ("Delta Seaboard"), a Texas corporation, completed the reverse merger pursuant to which Delta Seaboard was merged with and into Hammonds. In connection with the reverse merger, Hammonds changed its name to Delta Seaboard International, Inc. Following the effective date of the Reverse
Split, Delta issued shares of Common Stock to the existing stockholders of Delta Seaboard as follows: (i) 22,186,572 post-Reverse Split shares in consideration for American’s 51% equity ownership of Delta Seaboard, and 10,000,000 post-Reverse Split shares in consideration for American converting $872,353 in principal and accrued interest of debt payable by Delta to American; (ii) a total of 21,316,510 shares to Robert W. Derrick, Jr., a newly appointed director of Delta as well as Delta Seaboard’s
president and a director of American and Ron Burleigh, a newly-appointed director of Delta as well as Delta Seaboard’s vice president, in consideration for their 49% equity ownership of Delta Seaboard; and (iii) 9,607,843 post-Reverse Split shares in consideration for Messrs. Derrick and Burleigh 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 owns 32,859,935 shares of Common
Stock, representing 48.2% of Delta's total outstanding shares and Messrs. Derrick and Burleigh, the owners of the noncontrolling interest in Delta Seaboard, own 30,924,353 shares of Common Stock, representing 45.4% of the Delta's total outstanding shares. All other stockholders of Delta own 4,357,962 shares of Common Stock, representing 6.4% of Delta's total 68,142,250 outstanding shares.
Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts in prior periods to conform with the current period presentation.  All reclassifications have been applied consistently to the periods presented.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the earning process is completed, the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which is generally the same day as delivery or shipment of the product, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Delta receives
purchase orders for all of its service work and related pipe sales. All sales are recorded when the work is completed or when the pipe is sold.  SET receives purchase orders for machining of oil field drilling parts, components and tools.  Customers have the right to inspection and acceptance for generally up to five days after taking delivery.  Returns are not accepted due to the custom specifications
of each product, but rework on items is necessary if the product was not within the original order specifications.  Customer requests for rework and customer rejection of shipments has been historically low.NPI has purchase orders for all sales, of which many of the items are requested to be container shipped and shipped directly to the end users. All sales are recorded when the inventory items are shipped. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are incurred as a result of a revenue
transaction are not included in revenues. American has no significant sales returns or allowances.
7 Net Loss Per Share
  The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during a period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss, adjusted on an as if converted basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the three months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009, potential dilutive securities that had an anti-dilutive effect were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. These securities include options to purchase shares of common stock that were not "in the money".
  Management's Estimates and Assumptions
  The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could
differ from these estimates.
  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
  Effective January 1, 2008, American adopted the framework for measuring fair value that establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable
inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
 Basis of Fair Value Measurement
  Level 1

Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.Level 2

Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or the liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation
or other means.Level 3

Unobservable inputs reflecting American's own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.
 
 American believes that the fair value of its financial instruments comprising cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate their carrying amounts.  The interest rates payable by American on its notes payable approximate market rates.  The
fair values of American's Level 1 financial assets, trading securities that primarily include shares of common stock in various companies, are based on quoted market prices of the identical underlying security.  As of March 31, 2010, American did not have any significant Level 2 or 3 financial assets or liabilities.  The following table provides fair value measurement information for American's trading securities:

  New Accounting Pronouncements
  There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.

Note 2 - Trading Securities
 Investments in marketable securities primarily include shares of common stock in various companies that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price. These investments are classified as trading securities and, accordingly, any
unrealized changes in market values are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, American had unrealized trading losses of $62,081 and gains of $96,815, respectively, related to securities held on those dates.  American recorded realized gains of $104,311 and realized losses of $82,941 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
  Note 3 - Inventory and Deposits for Pipe Inventory Purchases

  Periodically, American enters into agreements to purchase pipe inventory from vendors.  At December 31, 2009, American had cash deposits of $1,336,244 for inventory purchases under these agreements that had not been received.  At March 31, 2010, these pipe purchases are included in inventory.
Note 4 - Real Estate Transactions

During the fourth quarter of 2009, American foreclosed on real property which was security for a note receivable owed to American, which was in default.  American is carrying this property on the balance sheet for $4,611,233, which represents $3,332,543 in principal and accrued interest allocated to the property received
at the time of default and the assumption of a $1,278,690 note payable secured by the property by another lien holder, see Note 8.  This property consists of seven tracts, of which several are under contract for sale and the remainder are listed for sale with a broker.

During the third quarter of 2009, and in connection with the guarantor’s fee described below, American has pledged $250,000 in certificates of deposit for a $3,850,000 loan to Southwest Gulf Coast Properties, Inc. at Texas Community Bank.  Additionally, this loan is secured by American's 287 acres on Dickinson Bayou
and the Dawn Condominiums with an appraised value of over $3,900,000.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, American received a 1.705 acre tract of land in Galveston County valued at $540,000 as a guarantor's fee. In connection with this fee, American pledged $1,750,000 in certificates of deposit for a $4,000,000 loan to Dawn Condominiums L.P. at Texas Community Bank. During the third quarter of 2009, the principal
balance of the loan was repaid and the bank released the pledged certificates of deposit to American.  This property is listed for sale with a broker.

During 2007, American purchased for investment a 174 acre tract of land in Waller County, Texas for $1,684,066. This property is listed for sale with a real estate broker.  American also owns 287 undeveloped acres of waterfront property on Dickinson Bayou and Galveston Bay in Galveston County, Texas. American is carrying
this property on the balance sheet at its historical book value of $225,000.  American has engaged an independent broker on an exclusive basis to sell the property.  These properties are not going to be developed by nor are they being held as inventory by American.  These properties are listed for sale with a broker.

American reviewed the accounting standards Real Estate - General (ASC 970-10) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (ASC 360-10) to determine the appropriate classification for these properties.  According to ASC 970-10, real estate that is held for sale in the ordinary course of business is classified as inventory,
which is a current asset.  ASC 360-10 provides the following criteria for property to be classified as held for sale:
9
Management with the appropriate authority commits to a plan to sell the asset;
The asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets;
An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan of sale have been initiated;
The sale of the property or asset within one year is probable and will qualify for accounting purposes as a sale;
The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and
Actions required to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
Management consulted with the real estate brokers for these properties and reviewed the recent interest for each property.  Based on our consultations and review, we believe that the sale of these properties within one year is probable.  We concluded that all of these criteria have been met for these properties and that they are appropriately classified as held for sale in current assets. Note 5 - Long-term Notes Receivable




Long-term notes receivable consists of the following:

259,252
  (a) Sale of former subsidiary, Marald, Inc., principal and interest due monthly through July 2012.  The original note was for $300,000 and was discounted to $200,000
for the receipt of full payment on or before October 25, 2007.  Marald is currently in default on its payments.  On May 4, 2010, a new promissory note was executed in the amount of $300,000 for the note balance plus accrued interest, with the payment terms indicated above.  Since payments are currently being made on the other note receivable with Marald in accordance with note terms, no further discounting
of the loan was deemed necessary as of March 31, 2010.
 (b) Unsecured notes receivable due April 30 and December 31, 2008.  These delinquent notes were due from Hammonds Industries, Inc. ("Hammonds").  The assets of the Hammonds' companies were sold on April 16, 2009.  On August 13, 2009, Hammonds, American, Delta, and the
noncontrolling interest owners of Delta entered into an agreement to commence a reverse merger of Delta into Hammonds. This agreement includes a provision to issue common shares for these unsecured notes.  American closed this transaction in February 2010 and Hammonds issued 10,000,000 post-Reverse Split common shares at fair value of $0.087 per share in consideration for the conversion of the principal and interest on these
notes.
  Note secured by property and shares of stock, interest due monthly at 18%, per annum principal payment due on or before May 9, 2009. This note is in default and American has obtained the shares of stock and a portion of the real property securing this note. On July 13, 2009, American received
title to 2,000,000 shares of Momentum Biofuels, Inc., valued at $40,000, or $0.02 per share. As of November 4, 2009, American had sold all of these shares on the open market for $25,411. During the third quarter of 2009, American foreclosed on real property which was security for a note receivable owed to American, which was in default.  At September 30, 2009, American carried this property on the balance sheet for
$198,500, which represented the portion of the principal and accrued interest allocated to the property received at the time of default. On October 28, 2009, American entered into a settlement with the purchaser of this property.  The title company involved in the purchase transaction paid $150,000 in November 2009 in exchange for American's deed of trust for the property.  Upon receipt of the $150,000, American removed the property from its balance sheet and recorded the difference of $48,500 to the
note and accrued interest.  This receivable is secured by real property from the original $225,000 note receivable.

 (d)Note purchased from Texas Community Bank with a face amount of
$300,000.  This delinquent note was purchased on March 31, 2009 for $300,000 and new payment terms are being negotiated for this note receivable with the debtors, Las Vegas Premium Gold.  This note was purchased as an investment to receive the interest income from the note.  Management has assessed this note for impairment and feels that collectability is reasonably possible based on the personal guarantees of the principals.
 
 Interest income on notes receivable is recognized principally by the simple interest method.  During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, American recognized interest income of $9,195 and $72,812, respectively.

(a) Delta's line of credit with its bank has historically been renewed prior to the due date for a period of 18 to 24 months.  This line of credit came due in April 2010.  Management is currently working to renew this line of credit.
(b) On October 30, 2009, NPI received a notice that it is in technical default of the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant on its line of credit with Wachovia.  The principal balance of this note is due July 31, 2010. NPI is not in payment default and has been current with all of its debt and interest payments since
the inception of the line of credit.  The interest rate on NPI’s line of credit will increase from prime to prime plus 3% and NPI will be required to submit financial statements and a borrowing base certificate to the bank on a monthly rather than quarterly basis, as was previously required.  Wells Fargo acquired Wachovia and due to the bank’s new policies, the special assets management lending group requested that the asset based lending group review NPI for a new loan.  This
group declined the loan and the bank has recommended another lender.  NPI is negotiating a new line of credit with another financial institution and management is confident that new financing in support of NPI’s business will be obtained. At March 31, 2010, NPI’s line of credit balance was $949,000 and as of this filing, the balance has been increased by $31,000 to $980,000.  NPI’s current assets at March 31, 2010 were $3,936,880 and included $967,918 and $2,447,917
in accounts receivable and inventory, respectively.

(c) During the year ended December 31, 2009, the due dates for these notes were extended and the balances have been reclassified to long-term.


Each of American's subsidiaries that have outstanding notes payable has secured such notes by that subsidiary’s inventory, accounts receivable, property and equipment and guarantees from American.

Note 11 - Concentration of Credit Risk


American maintains its cash and certificates of deposit in commercial accounts at major financial institutions. Although the financial institutions are considered creditworthy, at March 31, 2010, American's cash and certificates of deposit balances held in banks exceeded the limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation by approximately $1.4 million. The terms of these deposits are on demand to minimize risk. American has not incurred losses related to these deposits.
Trade accounts receivable subject American to the potential for credit risk with customers in the retail and distribution sectors. To reduce credit risk, American performs ongoing evaluations of its customer’s financial condition but generally does not require collateral. As of and during, the three months ended March 31,
2010, NPI had one customer that accounted for 12% of trade accounts receivable and 16% of revenues on a consolidated basis.  Additionally, Delta had one customer that accounted 16% of trade accounts receivable and 12% of revenues on a consolidated basis.

 On July 23, 2008, Delta Seaboard Well Service, Inc. negotiated a settlement in the Fort Apache Energy, Inc. v. Delta Seaboard Well Service, Inc.lawsuit for $1,450,000. After noncontrolling interest, the net impact
of this settlement on American's net income is $739,500. Delta recovered $700,000 of this loss through insurance as described below.
 Delta Seaboard Well Service, Inc. v. Houstoun, Woodard, Eason, Gentle Tomforde and Anderson, Inc., D/B/A Insurance Alliance and Robert Holman (“Broker Lawsuit”). On February 19, 2010, Delta settled its claims in the Broker Lawsuit and received $700,000, which will be included in other income for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
  Delta is a co-defendant in a personal injury lawsuit, Karen Duke and as next friend of her minor son, George Duke v. Delta Seaboard Well Service, Inc. and Jimmy Newcomb. This lawsuit
arises out of a motor vehicle accident that occurred on July 31, 2006. The plaintiffs are claiming an unspecified amount of claimed actual and consequential economic damages (for medical expenses and lost wages / diminished earnings capacity), plus an unspecified amount of claimed damages for their alleged “pain & suffering.” This case went to trial and the jury rendered a verdict on September 17, 2009, awarding the plaintiff $263,410 plus court costs in damages. On February 22, 2010, the trial
judge entered a $269,138 judgment  in favor of the plaintiffs. The attorneys plan a motion for a new trial. Delta has liability insurance policy with applicable policy limits of $1,000,000. Management believes that Delta has a more than adequate amount of available liability insurance coverage to fund any judgment that might be entered. Delta intends to vigorously defend this case. An evaluation of the outcome of this case cannot be made at this time. Delta expects to prevail in these matters and has not
recorded any liabilities in connection with this lawsuit.
 American International Industries, Inc. v. William W. Botts.  American filed this lawsuit against William W. Botts (“Botts”) seeking damages as a result of a Stock Purchase Agreement and Consulting Agreement that American entered into with Botts on September
12, 2007.  Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, American gave Botts $1,000,000 in cash and 288,000 shares of restricted AMIN stock (240,000 original shares plus a 20% stock dividend) for 170,345 shares of OI Corporation.  As part of the original agreement, Botts had the right to sell the 288,000 shares back to American for $4.17 per share.  Under the Consulting Agreement, American agreed to pay Botts $14,000 per month, plus expenses for performing consulting services.  On
or about November 5, 2008, American paid Botts $100,000 to terminate the Consulting Agreement to stop the accrual of monthly consulting payments to Botts.  In February 2010, the case was mediated and the parties attempted to settle the case.  However, the parties have been unable to agree on terms.  If the parties cannot agree, the case will have to be mediated again or tried.  Additional information has been recently discovered to support American's case.  Our attorney
believes that if the case is tried, either side could win.  If Botts wins, we believe that the maximum loss for American would be approximately $1,500,000.  If the case is tried, American intends to vigorously defend this case. An evaluation of the outcome of this case cannot be made at this time. American expects to prevail in these matters and has not recorded any liabilities in connection with this lawsuit.
 Delta is the recipient of a Texas Emissions Reduction Plan ("TERP") grant from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality in the amount of $1,157,273, of which $781,728 has been recognized through December 31, 2008. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, no TERP grant revenue has been recognized.  TERP is a comprehensive set
of incentive programs aimed at improving air quality in Texas. Through this grant, Delta’s rig engines are being replaced with engines certified to emit 25% less nitrogen oxide (“NOx”) than required under the current federal standard for the horsepower of the engines. The old engines must be destroyed or rendered permanently inoperable.
  TERP grant recipients are required to monitor and track the total NOx emission reductions and cost-effectiveness. The grant contract includes provisions for the return of a prorated share of the grant if the NOx emission reductions originally projected are not achieved. Delta has not recorded any liabilities in connection with this matter
because management has determined that return of any grant receipts is not likely. Based on the advice of the State of Texas authorities who administer the grant, the taxability of this grant has not been determined and the advice of the Internal Revenue Service has been inconsistent. Delta is still determining the effect this will have, but believes it will not materially affect Delta because of tax loss carryforwards.
 Delta leases space under a commercial lease which expires in 2010 and SET leases space under a commercial lease which expires in 2013.  Future minimum lease payments are as follows:

Note 14 - Segment Information


We have three reporting segments and corporate overhead:
  ·Northeastern Plastics (NPI) - a wholly-owned subsidiary, is a supplier of automotive after-market products and consumer durable goods products to retailers and wholesalers in the automotive after-market and in
the consumer durable electrical products markets;
  ·ShumateEnergy Technologies, Inc. (SET) manufactures highly specialized equipment for energy industry customers, including expandable tubing technology products that are used in field service operations for
oil and gas exploration under extreme environmental conditions. SET manufactures large-diameter products and close tolerance machined parts that range up to thirty-four feet in length using state of the art, large part CNC equipment.
  ·Delta Seaboard International, Inc. (Delta) - a 48.2% owned subsidiary, is an onshore rig-based well-servicing contracting company providing services to the oil and gas industry;
  ·Corporate overhead - American's investment holdings including financing current operations and expansion of its current holdings as well as evaluating the feasibility of entering into additional businesses. 
Corporate overhead also includes Brenham Oil & Gas, a division that owns an oil, gas and mineral royalty interest in Washington County, Texas, which is carried on American's balance sheet at $0. Through Brenham Oil & Gas, American is engaged in negotiations with financial institutions for the purpose of financing potential acquisitions of existing oil and gas properties and reserves.  American is seeking to enter into arrangements with third-party owners and potential partners with
proven oil and gas reserves, but who lack the financial resources and/or the technical expertise possessed by American, to assist them with the resources required to develop their reserves.
 The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. American evaluates performances based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes, not including nonrecurring gains and losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. American's reportable
segments are strategic business units that offer different technology and marketing strategies. Most of the businesses were acquired as subsidiaries and the management at the time of the acquisition was retained. American's areas of operations are principally in the United States. No single foreign country or geographic area is significant to the consolidated financial statements.
  Consolidated revenues from external customers, operating income (loss), depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, capital expenditures, non-cash transactions, and identifiable assets were as follows:

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"in this Quarterly Report, we emphasize that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and our actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report reflect our current views about future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties.

  Overview
  American International Industries, Inc., organized under the laws of the State of Nevada in September 1994, is a diversified corporation with interests in industrial companies, oil and gas interests, oilfield supply and service companies, and interests in undeveloped real estate in the Galveston Bay, TX area. The Company’s
business strategy is to acquire controlling equity interests in undervalued companies and take an active role in its new subsidiaries to improve their growth, by providing its subsidiaries with access to capital, leveraging synergies and providing its subsidiaries with the Company's management expertise. The Company is sometimes referred to as "we", "us", "our", and other such phrases as provided in Regulation F-D (Fair Disclosure).
  American International Industries, Inc. is a holding company and has three reporting segments and corporate overhead:
  ·Northeastern Plastics (NPI) - a wholly-owned subsidiary, is a supplier of automotive after-market products and consumer durable goods products to retailers and wholesalers in the automotive after-market and in
the consumer durable electrical products markets;
  ·Shumate Energy Technologies, Inc. (SET) - a wholly-owned subsidiary, manufactures highly specialized equipment for energy industry customers, including expandable tubing technology products that are used in field
service operations for oil and gas exploration under extreme environmental conditions. SET manufactures large-diameter products and close tolerance machined parts that range up to thirty-four feet in length using state of the art, large part CNC equipment.
  ·Delta Seaboard International (Delta) - a 48.2% owned subsidiary, is an onshore rig-based well-servicing contracting company providing services to the oil and gas industry;
  ·Corporate overhead - the Company's investment holdings including financing current operations and expansion of its current holdings as well as evaluating the feasibility of entering into additional businesses. 
Corporate overhead also includes Brenham Oil & Gas, a division that owns an oil, gas and mineral royalty interest in Washington County, Texas, which is carried on the Company's balance sheet at $0.  Through Brenham Oil & Gas, the Company is engaged in negotiations with financial institutions for the purpose of financing potential acquisitions of existing oil and gas properties and reserves.  The Company is seeking to enter into arrangements with third-party owners and potential partners
with proven oil and gas reserves, but who lack the financial resources and/or the technical expertise possessed by the Company, to assist them with the resources required to develop their reserves.
  On February 3, 2010, Hammonds Industries Inc. ("Hammonds") and Delta Seaboard Well Service, Inc. ("Delta Seaboard"), a Texas corporation, completed the reverse merger pursuant to which Delta Seaboard was merged with and into Hammonds. In connection with the reverse merger, Hammonds changed its name to Delta Seaboard International, Inc.
Following the effective date of the Reverse Split, Delta issued shares of Common Stock to the existing stockholders of Delta Seaboard as follows: (i) 22,186,572 post-Reverse Split shares in consideration for American’s 51% equity ownership of Delta Seaboard, and 10,000,000 post-Reverse Split shares in consideration for American converting $872,353 in principal and accrued interest of debt payable by Delta to American; (ii) a total of 21,316,510 shares to Robert W. Derrick, Jr., a newly appointed director
of Delta as well as Delta Seaboard’s president and a director of American and Ron Burleigh, a newly-appointed director of Delta as well as Delta Seaboard’s vice president, in consideration for their 49% equity ownership of Delta Seaboard; and (iii) 9,607,843 post-Reverse Split shares in consideration for Messrs. Derrick and Burleigh 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 owns 32,859,935 shares of Common Stock, representing 48.2% of Delta's total outstanding shares and Messrs. Derrick and Burleigh, the owners of the noncontrolling interest in Delta Seaboard, own 30,924,353 shares of Common Stock, representing 45.4% of the Delta's total outstanding shares. All other stockholders of Delta own 4,357,962 shares of Common Stock, representing 6.4% of Delta's total 68,142,250 outstanding shares.
  The historical financial statements of the Company include the acquisitions of acquired companies as of the effective dates of the purchases, and the results of those companies subsequent to closing, as these transactions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
 19
 We intend to continue our efforts to grow through the acquisition of additional and complimentary businesses and by expanding the operations of our existing businesses, especially in the energy sector. We will evaluate whether additional and complimentary businesses can be acquired at reasonable terms and conditions, at attractive earnings multiples and which present opportunity for growth and profitability. These efforts
will include the application of improved access to financing and management expertise afforded by synergistic relationships between the Company and its subsidiaries. Potential acquisitions are evaluated to determine that they would be accretive to earnings and equity, that the projected growth in earnings and cash flows are attainable and consistent with our expectations to yield desired returns to investors, and that management is capable of guiding the growth of operations, working in concert with others in
the group to maximize opportunity. Periodically as opportunities present themselves, we may sell or merge the subsidiaries in order to bring value to the holding company and our shareholders and to enable the Company to acquire larger companies.
  The Company’s real estate investment policy historically has been to acquire real estate for resale based upon our view of market conditions. Such properties are listed on the balance sheet as real estate acquired for resale.  Real estate is not a segment of the Company's business.
  We expect to face competition for acquisition candidates, which may limit the number of acquisition opportunities and may lead to higher acquisition prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, acquire or manage profitably of additional businesses or to integrate any acquired businesses into the Company without substantial
costs, delays or other operational or financial problems. Further, acquisitions involve a number of risks, including possible adverse effects on our operating results, diversion of management's attention, failure to retain key personnel of the acquired business and risks associated with unanticipated events or liabilities. Some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The timing, size and success of our acquisition efforts and the associated
capital commitments cannot be readily predicted. It is our current intention to finance future acquisitions by using shares of our common stock and other forms of financing as the consideration to be paid. In the event that the common stock does not have and maintain a sufficient market value, or potential acquisition candidates are otherwise unwilling to accept common stock as part of the consideration for the sale of their businesses, we may be required to seek other forms of financing in order to proceed with
our acquisition program. If we do not have sufficient cash resources, our growth could be limited unless we are able to obtain additional equity or debt financing at terms acceptable to the Company.
 Corporate overhead includes our investment activities for financing current operations and expansion of our current holdings, as well as evaluating the feasibility of acquiring additional businesses.


Results of Operations




Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2009.




The following is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, our unaudited consolidated financial statements, and related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.


Net revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, revenues from continuing operations were $4,996,513, compared to $6,195,014 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, representing
a decrease of $1,198,501, or 19%.


During the three months ended March 31, 2010, Delta had revenues of $2,238,658, compared to $2,463,911 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, representing a decrease of $225,253, or 9%. The decrease in revenues is due primarily to a decrease in rig service revenues of $200,505. Rig service revenues have decreased due to major
maintenance on two rigs during the 2010 quarter.
  Revenues at SET for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $1,206,356, compared to $2,086,821 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, representing a decrease of $880,465, or 42%.  During the three months ended March 31, 2009, SET filled a large order for a major customer in the oil and gas industry. 
Additionally, revenues have decreased due to a decline in drilling activity.


Revenues at NPI during the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $1,488,557, compared to $1,644,282 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, representing a decrease of $155,725, or 9%.  The revenue decrease was due primarily
to the decline in the economy.  NPI's strategic plan for 2010 includes targeting three or more additional large accounts and reducing its dependence upon major customers by adding more mid-size accounts.




Cost of sales and margins he sale of high-priced pipe from inventory by Delta. Margins on pipe sales were 2% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to 25% during the same period in the prior year.  Margins on pipe sales improved near the end of the three months ended March 31, 2010, and management expects a substantial improvement
for the three months ended June 30, 2010, due to sales of lower-priced pipe remaining in inventory.




20
 Selling, general and administrative The increase in general and administrative expenses is due primarily to non-cash stock-based
compensation of $847,750 to the executive officers of Delta in consideration for extending their employment agreements.  Stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $962,770, compared to $41,250 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, representing an increase of $921,520.

income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 included the receipt of  $700,000 by Delta as a cash settlement for its claims in an insurance lawsuit.For the three months ended March 31, 2009, American recognized other income in the amount of $195,146, of which $175,000 was for providing right-of-way access on the 287 acres in Galveston County.  Interest expense was $220,516 for the three months ended
March 31, 2010, compared to $218,608 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.




Net loss.We had a net loss of $1,104,409, or $0.12 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to a net loss of $193,139, or $0.02 per share, for the same period in 2009.

of $13,141,451 at December 31, 2009, representing a decrease of $1,292,340.  The primary reason for the decrease in total assets resulted from the conversion of short-term debt and accrued interest of $872,352 to common stock of Delta as a result of the reverse merger transaction.

Cash flow from financing activities. Our financing activities provided cash of $343,246 during the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily as a result of the issuance of common stock of $746,810, offset by payments on debt and repayments under lines of credit of
$380,848.During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our financing activities used cash of $1,338,232, primarily as a result of payments of $1,283,122 on debt and the purchase of 33,032 shares of treasury stock at a cost of $41,237.

 On October 30, 2009, NPI received a notice that it is in technical default of the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant on its line of credit with Wachovia. The principal balance of this note is due July 31, 2010. NPI is not in payment default and has been current with all of its debt and interest payments since the inception
of the line of credit. The interest rate on NPI’s line of credit will increase from prime to prime plus 3% and NPI will be required to submit financial statements and a borrowing base certificate to the bank on a monthly rather than quarterly basis, as was previously required. Wells Fargo acquired Wachovia and due to the bank’s new policies, the special assets management lending group requested that the asset based lending group review NPI for a new loan. This group declined the loan and the bank
has recommended another lender. NPI is negotiating a new line of credit with another financial institution and management is confident that new financing in support of NPI’s business will be obtained. NPI has a consistent and growing base of business with large seasonal sales received in the third and fourth quarters. Historically, during this period every year, NPI receives a large order from its primary customer and briefly exceeds its borrowing base to make the inventory purchases necessary to fill that
order. For the past 10 years, this has not been a problem and NPI's representative at the bank has always been willing to work with NPI. At March 31, 2010, NPI’s line of credit balance was $949,000 and as of this filing, the balance has been increased by $31,000 to $980,000.  NPI’s current assets at March 31, 2010 were $3,936,880 and included $967,918 and $2,447,917 in accounts receivable and inventory, respectively.
  Our subsidiary, Delta has a line of credit for $2,000,000 with Trust Mark Bank, which had a maturity date in April 2010. Delta's line of credit with its bank has historically been renewed prior to the due date for a period of 18 to 24 months. This line of credit came due in April 2010.  Management is currently working to renew this line of credit. Our Subsidiary, SET, has a $1,000,000 line of credit
with Stillwater National Bank and Trust, which has a maturity date in September 2010. Delta and SET have excellent relationships with their banks and believe that they will be able to renegotiate their lines of credit at terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company.
