1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

Delta Mutual, Inc. ("Delta" or "the Company") was incorporated in Delaware on November 17, 1999. Effective March 4, 2008, Delta entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Delta acquired, from Egani, Inc. shares of Altony SA, an Uruguayan Sociedad Anonima (“Altony”), which owned 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, Delta issued 130,000,000 shares of common stock to Egani, Inc., which constituted, following such issuance, a majority of the outstanding shares of the 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, as of March 4, 2008, with Altony as the acquirer.  Altony SA closed its business operations and was subsequently dissolved.

The primary focus of the Company’s business is its SAHF subsidiary, which has investments in oil and gas concessions in Argentina and focuses on the energy sector, including the development and supply of energy and alternative energy sources in Latin America and North America.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company had ceased all operations other than the investments of its SAHF subsidiary and became a development stage corporation, as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915 “Development Stage Entities”.  During the quarter ending March 31, 2012, one of the Company’s properties began producing oil and the Company began recognizing revenue.  Accordingly, the Company is no longer in the development stage. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.  There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the six months ended June 31, 2012 and the Company does not expect that the other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
2. INVESTMENT IN UNPROVED OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
 
a) As of June 30, 2012, the Company has a 10% ownership interest in the Jollin and Tonono oil and gas concessions located in Salta Province, Argentina. SAHF originally purchased an 18% carry-over interest in the Jollin and Tonono concessions on May 15, 2007, and subsequently increased its ownership to 23.5%, 9% of which was carry-over and 14.5% of which was working.  SAHF in 2009 transferred 13.5% to Maxipetrol, under an arrangement where SAHF’s remaining 10% interest would be in a carry-over mode.
SAHF received its foreign registration in Argentina and was admitted as a member of the joint venture on July 2, 2010. The Company will begin receiving revenue from the Jollin and Tonono blocks when the first well is approved for commercial production. The joint venture is currently developing a future plan for continuing the exploration of the concessions.
 
b) As of June 30, 2012, the Company retains a 9% ownership interest in the Tartagal and Morillo oil and gas concessions located in Salta Province.  During 2007, SAHF had originally purchased an 18% ownership of these concessions During 2008, SAHF exchanged 50% of its ownership in this investment with a third party, where the acquirer agreed to assume 50% of SAHF’s obligations with respect to future development expenses.

On March 28, 2011, the third party agreed to the transfer its 9% carried interest in the Tartagal and Morillo concession back to the Company, in exchange for 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with a fair value of $50,000, and a percentage of proceeds in the event of an unexpected sale of the concession in excess of over $6 million, which brought the Company’s total interest in the Tartagal and Morillo concession to 18%.  The Company was admitted to the joint venture for these blocks on May 11, 2011.

DELTA MUTUAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

As of March 30, 2012, the Company agreed to sell 50% of its ownership interest in this property to Principle Petroleum Limited (“PPL”) for $500,000.  The Company follows the full cost method of accounting, and thus, no gain was recognized, in accordance with ASC 932-10-599 ©)(3)(i)..

The Company’s share of the development costs for the Tartagal and Morillo concessions will be repaid from 50% of the Company's share of the future production profits from the concessions.

On January 26, 2011 our joint venture partner announced that the Campo Alcoba site well No.  CAX-1002 was indicating 15 cubic meters per day which translated to 94 barrels of oil daily.  On February 21, 2011 they also announced that the other work over well No. CAX-1 was demonstrating production of 5 cubic meters per day or equal to 10 to 15 barrels per day. The Company began recognizing its share of the production from these two wells in the three months ending March 31, 2012. Production from these test wells has continued into the 2012 second quarter. Two workover wells are under evaluation, and currently an analytic test to drill one more exploratory well is under way.  2D reinterpretation and 3D conclusions are expected by third quarter of 2012.

c) As of June 30, 2012, the Company owns 20% of the oil and gas exploration rights to five blocks in the Salta Province of Northern Argentina.  The managing partner holds this interest in escrow until SAHF is officially admitted into the joint venture of the exploration rights concession.
 
The ownership interests in The Salta Province Exploration Rights Concession  ("Salta Joint Venture") are:
 
·  
Consortium Ketsal Kilwa – 60% (managing partner)
·  
Ambika S.A. – 20%
·  
SAHF – 20%
 
During the second quarter 2010, the Salta Joint Venture began drilling the first well on the Guemes block of The Salta Province Exploration Rights Concession.  SAHF acted as the project manager for this drilling project, but did not charge the Salta Joint Venture a management fee.  Production testing to verify the commercial sustainability of the well still needs to be performed.
 
The 2010 concessions, totaling approximately $1.1 million, of which SAHF’s share is approximately $220,000, payable for The Salta Province Exploration Rights Concession are past due and are being contested with the Government by the Salta Joint Venture.  Prior to the drilling of the Guemes well, the managing partner began negotiating with the government of Argentina to have the concessions' penalties waived and it was agreed that the Government will not draw on the Performance Bond posted by Ketsal, in exchange for opening a well on Guemes and continued development activities in the province.  SAHF opened up well in Guemes known as "Dos Morros" and the overdue charges have been waived.
 
d) On August 10, 2011, the Company’s tender offer, made through its wholly-owned subsidiary, SAHF, for the ownership right to explore, and eventually, produce oil and natural gas in the block known as “Valle de Lerma” was declared the winning bid by the Salta provincial government. SAHF made the offer in a joint venture agreement with Remsa, PetroNexus, Grasta SA, a local mid-size gasoline refinery located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Valle de Lerma block is located in the province of Salta in the northwestern region of Argentina and has an area of 5259 km2. On October 25, 2011 SAHF was awarded an Exploration and Exploitation Oil & Gas Block License by the Government of Salta, Argentina, and will file an environmental impact study and proceed to reentry and work-over of the wells. SAHF holds a majority of the license interest and is the responsible operator. The license allows SAHF 20 years to explore and produce hydrocarbons with a renewal option of ten more years in exchange for a commitment to spend $2 million on the property in exploration and development costs.

The Company and its partners, Resta, PetroNexus and Grasta Petroleum will develop the block exploration starting with 2D Seismic interpretation with PetroNexus LLC; geological model application and Hydrocarbon Micro seepage Survey with Geo Microbial Technologies Argentina (Guemes Method), and La Troja well work over with a local rig company.  The exploration terms are four years for the first period, three years for the second and two years for the last period.  At December 31, 2011, SAHF owned 60% of the rights to explore Valle de Lerma; GRASTA owns 5%; PetroNexus owns 30%; and Remsa owns 5%.

As of and for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
 
The total investment commitment originally approved is of 401 work units within a three-year term.  Each work unit has a value of $5,000 totaling a $2,005,000 of committed investment for the first quarter.  In the second quarter of 2012, the Company executed 175 work units and the conclusions were submitted to the proper regulatory government agency, which approved the work performed with the Resolution 021/2012 dated May 11, 2012.  Our insurance policy for the remnant amount of $1,155,000 was issued in the second quarter of 2012.

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement with PPL, we have agreed to sell 50% of our interest in Valle de Lerma, as well as our interest in bidding rights on three other properties after the payment terms will be completed. The Company follows the full cost method of accounting, and thus, no gain was recognized, in accordance with ASC 932-10-599 (c)(3)(i).
 
The Company evaluated these investments for impairment and concluded that, except as described above, no loss in value occurred as of June 30, 2012. The following table summarizes the Company’s investments in these unproved oil and gas properties.  One of the Company’s oil and gas producing properties began producing during the quarter ending June 30, 2012.  No depletion was recorded for the quarter as the amount was not material

5.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company utilizes the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and discloses for all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis during the reporting period.

The fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures", establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  These tiers are defined as follows:  

Level 1 - Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs other then quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
As of June 30, 2012, the Company held certain financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  These consisted of cash and cash equivalents and unproved oil and gas properties.  The fair value of the cash and cash equivalents is determined based on quoted market prices in public markets and is categorized as Level 1.  The investment in unproved oil and gas companies is determined by the Company to develop its own assumptions and is categorized as Level 3.  The Company does not have any financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 2 and there were no transfers in or out of Level 2 or Level 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The Company has other financial instruments, such as advances and other receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities, notes payable and other assets, which have been excluded from the tables above. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the carrying value of advances and other receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities, notes payable and other assets approximate their fair values.

6. RECEIVABLE FROM SALE OF BIDDING RIGHTS AND OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

Effective March 30, 2012, the Company entered into the Cooperation Agreement with Principle Petroleum Ltd. (“PPL”). Under the Cooperation Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell to PPL, for a price of $7 million certain exploration and exploitation rights to oil and gas deposits and certain bidding rights held by Delta on the following areas: Valle de Lerma in the province of Salta; San Salvador de Jujuy; Libertador General San Martin in the province of Jujuy; and Selva Maria in the province of Formosa.  Pursuant to a separate Agreement dated March 31, 2012, the Company has agreed with PPL to assign and transfer 50% of SAHF's current ownership of the Tartagal and Morillo (i.e., a 9% interest in the concession) to PPL for a purchase price of $500,000. PPL has also agreed in an Undertaking to provide funds to the operating entities of Valle de Lerma, Selva Maria, San Salvador and Libertador, in the aggregate amount of up to $10,000,000 (San Salvador, Libertador and Selva Maria are pending for approval from the government, which is standard procedure in Argentina).

As part of PPL’s obligations under the Cooperation Agreement, PPL made partial payments of $2,000,000 in our 2012 first fiscal quarter and  $999,979 in the second quarter towards the full amount of $7,000,000 provided under the Cooperation Agreement.  Both parties are working to execute the full amount of PPL’s payment obligations as agreed.

9. INCOME TAXES
 
The Company had not made provision for income taxes prior to the six months ended June 30, 2012, since the Company has the benefit of net operating losses carried forward in these periods.  Domestic NOL carry-forwards were utilized in the computation of the provision for income taxes for the six months ending June 30, 2012.

Due to the operating loss of the Company's Argentina subsidiary, the Company is not required to pay any income tax in Argentina. However, the Company has been subject to the personal assets tax or Minimum Presumptive Tax (MPIT) on the assets owned by SAHF that has a branch office in Argentina.

Personal assets tax or MPIT applies to individuals with assets owned as of December 31st each year. Taxpayers are required to pay the equivalent of 0.5% to 1.25% of the assets owned as of that date, depending on their global tax value if it exceeds a certain amount. For resident individuals, the tax applies on assets owned in Argentina and abroad. For non-resident individuals, the tax applies only on assets owned in Argentina.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
 
The law presumes (without admitting evidence to rebut the presumption) that shares, quotas and other participation interests held in the capital of Argentine companies (including branches) that are held by non-resident entities are indirectly owned by foreign individuals. The tax amounts to 0.5% annually (based on the equity value according to the financial statements), which must be paid by the Argentine companies.

The Company has been current in paying the MPIT.  This is not an income tax, which, is why it is not included in our tax provision.

Deferred income tax assets consist of:

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and certain state jurisdictions. The Company’s tax years for 2008 and forward are subject to examination by the United States and applicable state tax authorities due to the carry forward of unutilized net operating losses.

10. OTHER INCOME
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred foreign exchange gains of $205,687, $8,173, $221,393, and $13,062, respectively, on its US dollar denominated payments to its SAHF subsidiaries for operating expenses.

Effective March 30, 2012, the Company entered into the Cooperation Agreement with Principle Petroleum Ltd. (“PPL”). Under the Cooperation Agreement, we have agreed to sell to PPL, for a price of $7.5 million certain exploration and exploitation rights to oil and gas deposits and certain bidding rights held by Delta on the following areas: Tartagal & Morillo, Valle de Lerma in the province of Salta; San Salvador de Jujuy; Libertador General San Martin in the province of Jujuy; and Selva Maria in the province of Formosa.  $6,500,000 of these proceeds are attributable to bidding rights for which the Company has no cost basis. The proceeds are non refundable in the event the Company is unsuccessful in the bids.  Therefore, the Company recognized a gain of $6.5 million for the sale of these bidding rights during the six months ending June 30, 2012.
 
11.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company issued 10,000 and 0 shares, respectively with fair values of $3,500 and $0, respectively, of its common stock to a related party for services performed.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company also issued 475,000 and 0 shares, respectively, with fair values of $213,750 and $0, respectively, for the settlement of a note payable.

12. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basie and diluted earnings (loss ) per common share are presented in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per share”.  Common stock warrants have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 in the statements of operations, because all such securities were anti dilutive and were not issued until the fourth quarter of 2011 and six months ended June 30, 2012.  Basic net earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net earnings (loss) per share by the weighted average number of share outstanding during the periods.  Diluted net earning per share is calculated by dividing the net earnings by the weighted average number of shares and potential shares outstanding during the period.

The weighted average shares outstanding used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are as follows:

ECONOMIC AND 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 the Company’s ability to transact business. Political instability may increase the difficulties and costs of doing business. Accordingly, events resulting from changes in the economic and political climate could have a material effect on the Company.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

On April 26, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved five-year term executive employment agreements (“Employment Agreements”) between the Company and Dr. Daniel R. Peralta, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Malcolm W. Sherman, the Company’s Executive Vice President, effective March 22, 2010 and March 23, 2010, respectively.  Dr. Peralta’s Employment Agreement provides for a fixed annual salary of $500,000; Mr. Sherman’s Employment Agreement provides for a fixed annual salary of $350,000. Under the Employment Agreements, both executives are eligible for participation in a bonus pool with other senior executives, the quarterly bonus amounts being based on financial performance comparisons with prior fiscal quarters, beginning with the quarterly reports of the Company for the year 2006 and each subsequent year during the respective terms of each of the Employment Agreements. Such bonuses will be pooled with those of other senior executives and be computed based on a total bonus pool equal to 15% of the net profits of the Company as set forth in the Company’s SEC filings.
 
The Company’s Board of Directors, with the agreement of the two executives, conditioned approval of the Employment Agreements on limitation of the salary of Dr. Peralta to $200,000, and the salary of Mr. Sherman to $150,000, until the cash flow of the Company was sufficient to pay the salaries specified in the Employment Agreements and meet other operating obligations of the Company.  Further, there would be no accruals of unpaid salaries under this agreement with the two executives.

ITEM 2. 
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
GENERAL
 
The following discussion of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the 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

The Company was incorporated under the name Delta Mutual, Inc. in Delaware on November 17, 1999. In 2003, we established business operations focused on providing environmental and construction technologies and services.  Our operations in the Far East (Indonesia) and our construction operations in Puerto Rico were discontinued in 2008.

Effective March 4, 2008, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests in the parent of South American Hydrocarbon Fluids LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (formerly South American Hedge Fund LLC, sometimes herein referred to as “SAHF”).  For accounting purposes, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of the Company, as of March 4, 2008, with the parent of SAHF as the acquirer. SAHF maintains a branch office in Argentina, where it is engaged in oil and gas exploration and development activities.
 
Overview

We are an independent oil and gas company, with the SIC Code classification 1311 (oil and gas production)for SEC filing purposes, engaged in oil and gas acquisition, exploitation, production and exploration activities primarily in Argentina. In addition, we have ownership interests in certain mineral rights that are located in Argentina.  In August 2007, SAHF signed agreements to purchase partial ownership interests in four oil and gas concessions in Northern Argentina. The joint venture owning these concessions then started the process to obtain the necessary government and environmental operating permits for the commercial exploitation of these concessions.  These oil and gas investments were contributed to the Company as part of the reverse merger transaction in March 2008.

Our goal is to generate meaningful growth in shareholder value through the discovery and development of proved oil and gas reserves or other mineral, and we have focused on concessions where there are shut-in, plugged or abandoned wells that have, in our assessment, a high probability of additional recovery of reserves through the revitalization of the wells using standard oil and gas industry practices to bring back wells into production or to enhance production. In addition, our growth plan is centered upon the pursuit of energy related development projects that we believe will generate attractive rates of return while maintaining a balanced portfolio of lower risk, long-lived oil and gas properties that provide stable cash flows.

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 oil and gas concessions in Argentina.

Specifically, we have focused, and plan to continue to focus, on the following investments in South America.

Recent Developments—PPL Agreement

Effective March 30, 2012, we entered into the Cooperation Agreement with Principle Petroleum Ltd. (“PPL”). Under the Cooperation Agreement, we have agreed to sell to PPL, for a price of $7,000,000 certain exploration and exploitation rights to oil and gas deposits and certain bidding rights held by Delta on the following areas: Valle de Lerma in the province of Salta; San Salvador de Jujuy; Libertador General San Martin in the province of Jujuy; and Selva Maria in the province of Formosa.  Pursuant to a separate Agreement dated March 31, 2012, we have agreed with PPL to assign and transfer 50% of SAHF's current ownership of the Tartagal and Morillo (i.e., a 9% interest in the concession) to PPL for a purchase price of $500,000, payable in the second quarter of 2012. PPL has also agreed in an Undertaking to provide funds to the operating entities of Valle de Lerma, Selva Maria, San Salvador and Libertador, in the aggregate amount of up to $10,000,000 (San Salvador, Libertador and Selva Maria are pending for approval from the government, which is standard procedure in Argentina).

As part of PPL obligations in certain Agreement dated March 2012 through SAHF Argentina branch, a partial deposit of $2,000,000 was delivered in this past first quarter and an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 towards the original $7,000,000 was delivered in the second quarter of 2012.  Both parties are working on the different factors to be completed in order to execute the full amount as agreed.

Valle de Lerma

On August 10, 2011, the Company’s tender offer, made through our wholly-owned subsidiary, SAHF, for the ownership right to explore, and eventually, produce oil and natural gas in the block known as “Valle de Lerma” was declared the winning bid by the Salta provincial government. SAHF made the offer in a joint venture agreement with Grasta SA, a local mid-size gasoline refinery located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Other partners in the block include PetroNEXUS and REMSA. On October 25, 2011 SAHF was awarded an Exploration and Exploitation Oil & Gas Block License by the Government of Salta, Argentina.

The Valle de Lerma block is located in the province of Salta in the northwestern region of Argentina and has an area of 5259 km2. SAHF has done the measurement and survey study and filed an environmental impact study and, upon its approval, will proceed to the reentry and work-over of the wells. SAHF holds a majority of the license interest and is the responsible operator. The license allows SAHF 20 years to explore and produce hydrocarbons with a renewal option of ten more years.

The Company and its partners have started the block exploration with 2D Seismic reinterpretation and will follow it with: geological model application and Hydrocarbon Micro seepage Survey with Geo Microbial Technologies Argentina (Guemes Method), and La Troja well work over with a local rig company.  The exploration terms are four years for the first period, three years for the second and two years for the last period.
 
SAHF currently owns 60% of the rights to explore Valle de Lerma; GRASTA owns 5%; PetroNEXUS owns 30%; and REMSA owns 5%.  Pursuant to the agreements with PPL, we have agreed to sell 50% of our interest in Valle de Lerma, as well as our interest in bidding rights on three other properties after the payment terms will be completed.

The total investment commitment originally approved is of 401 work units within a three year term.  Each work unit has a value of $5,000 totaling a $2,005,000 of committed investment for the first quarter.  In the second quarter of 2011, the Company executed 175 work units and the conclusions were submitted to the proper regulatory government agency, which approved the work performed with the Resolution 021/2012 dated May 11, 2012.  Our insurance policy for the remnant amount of $1,155,000 was issued in the second quarter of 2012.

A research and behavior test will take place on the block on some of the old wells to profile the system stratigraphic correlation.

Tartagal and Morillo

As of June 30, 2012, the Company, through SAHF, retained 18% of the total concession in the carryover mode ("no cost obligations to SAHF") in the Tartagal and Morillo oil and gas concessions located in Northern Argentina. In March 2009, a Hong Kong public company purchased 60% of the ownership in the Tartagal and Morillo oil and gas concessions, and has invested approximately $60 million to date on geological studies, 2D and 3D seismic surveys on both blocks and two work-over drills and an exploratory well drill in Tartagal. Production from the two Campo Alcoba test wells commenced in 2011 and has continued into the 2012 second quarter. Two workover wells are under evaluation, and currently an analytic test to drill one more exploratory well is under way.  2D reinterpretation and 3D conclusions are expected by third quarter 2012.  On May 11, 2011, SAHF received the Argentinian Salta Government’s approval for its 18% ownership share for the Tartagal and Morillo concessions. Effective March 31, 2012, we agreed to sell 50% of our interest in these concessions to PPL. Payment terms are in effect to complete the transaction.
 
Jollin and Tonono Oil and Gas Concessions

The Company, through SAHF, has a 10% interest concession in the carryover mode ("no cost obligations to SAHF") in the Jollin and Tonono oil and gas concessions located in Northern Argentina.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the third party owners of the Jollin and Tonono concessions formed an Argentine-registered joint venture and paid, in the aggregate, approximately $848,000 of development costs, all of which were capitalized. Since SAHF was not registered as a foreign company in Argentina, it could not become a member of the joint venture in 2008. The third party owners of these concessions have agreed that, upon admission of SAHF as a member of the joint venture, SAHF will retain its ownership. However, in exchange for this agreement, SAHF’s weighted average pro-rata portion of the 2008 aggregate development cost, of approximately $223,024, all of which was included in accounts payable in SAHF’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008, was to be repaid to the other members from its pro-rata share of the future earnings of the concession. On September 25, 2009, SAHF sold 13.5% of its ownership interest in the Jollin and Tonono oil and gas concession to Maxi-Petroleros De Occidente S.A. ("Maxipetrol") for $206,832. Maxipetrol, prior to the sale, owned 48% of the Jollin and Tonono oil and gas concession. In connection with the sale, Maxipetrol assumed full responsibility to develop the oil and gas concession until production is achieved in the blocks. This obligation includes all future and former costs incurred for the Jollin and Tonono oil and gas concession, until such time as the well is producing. All prior unpaid costs accrued by SAHF, were assumed by Maxipetrol. The Company recorded a $157,939 loss on the disposition of its 13.5% investment to Maxipetrol and the loss is included in its statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009. In addition, as of December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a reversal of $223,024 to adjust balances in investments and accounts payable as a result of the forgiveness of the aggregate development cost payable. During the year ending December 31, 2010 SAHF paid $139,762 in additional canons to maintain its ownership interest in the concession.

SAHF received its foreign registration in Argentina and was admitted as a member of the joint venture on July 2, 2010. Accordingly, the Company has reclassified its concession costs in the amount of $688,475 associated with this property to proved oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2010 based upon the reserve report received from the third party working interest owner of the joint venture. The Company will begin receiving revenue from the Jollin and Tonono blocks when the first well is approved for commercial production. The joint venture is currently developing a future plan for continuing the exploration of the concessions.

Salta Province Exploration Rights

During 2008, SAHF purchased 40% of the oil and gas exploration rights to five geographically defined areas in the Salta Province of Northern Argentina from Ketsal, SA (“Ketsal”) for $697,000 cash. In 2009, SAHF assigned 50% of its rights to a third party. As of June 30, 2012, SAHF owns 20% of the rights to this oil and gas concession.

SAHF is responsible for managing the drilling activities in the Salta Province and bears its pro-rata share of the costs. Exploratory drilling activities commenced in April 2010 on the Guemes Block and the first well was spud in September 2010. SAHF paid $106,672 for additional concession fees to become an exploration company in Argentina and incurred $179,806 in exploratory drilling costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 that were capitalized as work-in-progress under the full cost method of accounting. In July 2010, SAHF found positive traces of the presence of natural gas and hydrocarbons of low-density quality through its analysis of core samples. Well logging while drilling also confirmed the potential existence of formations with sufficient hydrocarbons to make the well economically productive. Production testing to verify the commercial sustainability of the well is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2013.

The joint venture is currently exploring the option to give 2 areas back to the government of Salta; give 2 areas to YPF; and keep Guemes.

Caimancito Refinery

On January 13, 2012, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, SAHF, signed a purchase option agreement with Cruz Norte, SA to purchase 33.33% of the Caimancito Refinery, located in the Jujuy Province, Argentina. In March, 2012, the purchase option agreement was finalized and signed and Cruz Norte transferred 1/3 of its stake in the refinery to SAHF. The purchase price of the refinery was $150,000 for the 33.33% of the outstanding shares of Caimancito Refinery; the purchase price is paid in full and a current Board Resolution appointed Mr. Mac Mullen from SAHF as a new Cruz del Norte Board Member.  The outstanding partial rights of SAHF are dully registered to the IGJ (Government Regulatory Entity).  A contract with NOA, a service company was signed and paid to rehabilitate the Plant and start the production.  The first batch of diesel is programmed for late August, 2012.

Lithium Production Properties

On March 1, 2010, we signed a purchase option agreement with Minera Jujuy from the Jujuy Province, Argentina related to the acquisition of approximate 143,000 hectares with 29 mines located in the Northwest part of Argentina, south of the border with Bolivia, with high lithium and borates brines concentration. Currently, we are performing sampling and geological conclusions with a local geological company in order to determine value to the property. SAHF purchased control of 51% of the Guayatayoc project via a partnership agreement with Oscar Chedrese and Servicios Mineros SA. The project holds the concession for a period of 20 years.

Due to the volatility of mineral global markets, further development of this project was technically postponed until 2nd quarter of 2013.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we generated revenues of $1,789, as compared with revenues of $-0- in 2011, and net earnings of $5.6 million compared to a net loss of $243,541 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 over the prior six month period is primarily due to the gain on the sale of certain bidding rights to PPL.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 our loss from operations was approximately $712,000 compared to a net loss from operations of approximately $291,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The increase in our net loss from operations is primarily due to employee bonuses paid in 2012 for the significant improvement in the Company’s operations during 2012.
 
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we had no revenues and had a net loss of $79,130, compared to a net loss of $102,193 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 over the prior three month period is primarily due to a foreign exchange gain of $205,687 in 2012, as compared with a gain of $8,173 in 2011.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012 our loss from operations was approximately $277,893 compared to a net loss from operations of approximately $155,516 in the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The increase in our net loss from operations is primarily due to a higher level of general and administrative expenses during 2012.

LIQUIDITY

At June 30, 2012, we had a working capital surplus of approximately $5.0 million, compared with a working capital deficit of approximately $1.3 million at December 31, 2011.  The significant improvement is due to the sale of certain bidding rights and oil and gas properties to PPL as of March 30, 2012

At June 30, 2012, we had total assets of approximately $8.3 million compared to total assets of approximately $2.6 million at December 31, 2011. Net cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $480,000, as compared with approximately $331,000 in 2011; and net cash generated from investing activities was approximately $2.4 million 2012, as compared with cash used of approximately $195,000 in 2011. Cash used in operations and investing activities in 2012 was offset by net cash provided from investing activities of approximately $2.4 million.  Net cash generated by financing activities was $-0- in the six months ended June 30, 2012, and approximately $519,000 in the comparable period in  2011.

Estimated 2012 Capital Requirements

In the case of the Jollin and Tonono and Tartagal and Morillo oil and gas properties, we have carried interests; therefore, no further capital expenditures are required on our part.  For the exploration rights in Salta Province, we have completed the drilling and development of one well in Guemes that is expected to begin production testing in 2013.  We have sufficient funds for our portion (20%) of the costs of installation of the battery storage facility to complete the Guemes production and storage facilities.   In the event our revenue expectations for 2012 are not met, we are not required to make any additional capital investment to protect our assets.

We estimate that our capital requirements in 2012 to develop the  Valle de Lerma, San Salvador, Libertador and Selva Maria properties (San Salvador, Libertador and Selva Maria are pending for approval from the government) will approximate $7,000,000, funds for which investments would be provided by PPL, pursuant to its commitment to invest developmental funds of $10,000,000 for these properties.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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 oil and gas properties, 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. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these financial statements. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Management believes that it is reasonably possible that the following material estimates affecting the financial statements could happen in the coming year:

 
·
Proved oil and gas reserves;
 
·
Expected future cash flow from proved oil and gas properties;
 
·
Future exploration and development costs; and
 
·
Future dismantlement and restoration costs.

NEW FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

For a summary of new financial accounting standards applicable to the Company, please refer to the accompanying notes to the 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.

Interest Rate Risk - Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. Investments that are classified as cash and cash equivalents have original maturities of Six and Nine months or less. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates.

We do not have significant short-term investments, and due to their short-term nature, we believe that there is not a material risk exposure.

Credit Risk - Our accounts receivable are subject, in the normal course of business, to collection risks. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of collection risks. As a result we do not anticipate any material losses in this area.

Commodity Price Risk – We are exposed to market risks related to price volatility of crude oil and natural gas. The prices 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 the components of our revenue.  A decline in crude oil and natural gas prices will likely reduce our revenues, unless there are offsetting production increases. We do not use derivative commodity instruments for trading purposes.
 
 
20

 
 
The prices of the commodities that the Company produces are unsettled at this time.  At times the prices seem to be drift down and then either increase or stabilize for a few days.  Current price movement seems to be slightly up but with the prices of the traditionally marketed products (gasoline, diesel, and natural gas as feed stocks for various industries, power generation, and heating) are not showing material increases.  Although prices are difficult to predict in the current environment, the Company maintains the expectation that demand for crude oil and natural gas will continue to increase for the foreseeable future due to the underling factors that oil and natural gas based commodities are both sources of raw energy and are fuels that are easily portable.

Foreign Currency Risk - Our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. Because our revenue is reported in U.S. dollars, fluctuating exchange rates of the local currency, when converted into U.S. dollars, may have an adverse impact on our revenue and income. We have not hedged foreign currency exposures related to transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. We do not engage in financial transactions for trading or speculative purposes.

Item 4. – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive and financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost- benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of June 30, 2012, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Changes in Internal Controls
 
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.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
 
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives. The Company's chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.
