Corporate Overview

Delta is a clean energy technology business that is dedicated to providing proven clean technology solutions that address the Environmental Social Governance (“ ESG ”) needs of corporations. The principal activity of Delta consists of the following five business sectors:

  • 1) CO2 capture;

  • 2) Hydrogen Production (CO2 capture);

  • 3) Solvent and Ethanol Purification;

  • 4) Methane Collection and Destruction; and

  • 5) Carbon Credit Validation, Certification, and Trading.

Delta provides the above services by bundling its patented process design intellectual property, with CO2 capture, methane destruction and solvent purification. The proprietary and patented technologies are designed to reduce the cost of carbon capture, methane destruction, and solvent and ethanol purification creating compliance and voluntary offset carbon credits. Delta’s projects are engineered to lower capital and operating costs, while at the same time delivering superior performance through energy reduction and lowering emissions. Further, Delta Purification[®] is a solvent and glycol purification division, focused in the field of purifying, reclaiming, recycling and reusing solvents and glycols, providing energy processors and heavy industry participants the option of reclaiming and not disposing of these waste materials in underground disposal wells.

DELTA CLEANTECH INC.

Delta has developed proprietary extraction and purification systems for the energy business sector that have been designed to extract CO2 and waste solids from gases and liquids.

The Corporation benefits from the pedigree, management, experience, proprietary intellectual property, and historic customer brand Delta has developed.

CO2 Capture & Utilization

ESG is driving Identity Preserved Waste (“ IPW ”) Solutions. An ESG audit will consider IPW and in the process, retain ownership for its disposed waste. Delta’s IPW solutions (CO2 capture, methane destruction and liquids reclamation) assists with mitigating this liability issue for companies.

The advanced adoption and success of electric vehicle transportation refocuses the call for decarbonized electricity, which can be achieved through Delta’s CO2 capture/utilization IP, while renewable energy such as wind and solar become a growing and larger part of the energy mix in the next 25 years. Hydrocarbon combustion for electricity production will dominate the electric grid and CO2 capture/utilization is required.

Delta’s CO2 capture technology, was the selected technology to provide the CO2 for the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE competition announced in Calgary, Alberta earlier this year.

Solvent, Glycol and Ethanol Reclamation Systems

==> picture [186 x 256] intentionally omitted <==

Delta Purification[®] is a solvent, glycol and ethanol purification division, focused in the field of purifying, reclaiming, recycling and reusing ethanol, solvents and glycols, providing energy processors and heavy industry participants the option of not disposing of these waste materials in underground disposal wells.

Delta has completed the WTO patenting, commercialization and the construction and commissioning of the Delta Purification[®] System. A Delta Purification[®] System reclaimer unit is like a kidney in the human body, in that it removes the impurities that build up in solvents, ethanol, glycols and liquids used as solvents in commercial clean energy and biomass extraction systems. This system allows these liquids to be reclaimed, recycled, and reused .

The Delta Purification[® ] System offers the following commercial products:

  • Delta Solvent Reclaiming System™ - Reclaiming hydrocarbon-based and other solvents, such as single, mixed, and formulated amines, for use in natural gas processing, ethanolbased solvents and post-combustion CO2 capturing processes.

  • Delta Glycol Reclaiming System™ - Reclaims and purifies glycols, such as mono-ethylene glycol and tri-ethylene glycol, used for natural gas dehydration processes.

Hydrogen Fuel Production and Related CO2 Capture

Grey hydrogen accounts for some 95% of the hydrogen produced in the world today using processes such as steam methane reforming.

Delta’s approach is to integrate its low-cost design, known as the LCDesign[®] , and its carbon capture technology within the existing large grey hydrogen plants (retrofit), in order to convert these plants to Blue Hydrogen production as well as capturing CO2 on newly installed blue hydrogen plants.

Carbon Origination and Streaming

==> picture [193 x 185] intentionally omitted <==

Delta’s CarbonRX IP has been utilized for carbon credit origination, aggregation and trading on the Chicago Climate Exchange beginning 2006. The trading system utilized, consisted of the trading platform, the clearing and settlement platform, and the registry.

It is intended that the trading of compliance carbon credits and fidelity validation of voluntary offset carbon credits will become an integral part of Delta ’s customers’ overall carbon program as the Corporation integrates its’ carbon origination and streaming platform.

CURRENT ENVIRONMENT

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the novel coronavirus (" COVID-19 "). The emergence of COVID-19 and the steps taken by governments to control the spread of the virus resulted in significant instability in the global economy and a sharp decline in demand for carbon recapture or purification processes as the entire extraction industry dialed back production and investment. As the world continues to persevere through this global pandemic the global economy begins to recover. Global demand for oil is reporting at close to pre-pandemic levels, following last years collapse. Global crude oil prices are supported by recovering demand and supply restraint by the Organization of the Petroleum Ex-

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Risks and uncertainties relate to dependence of CO2 emitters being legislated or provided incentive, to adapt CO2 capture technology and the price of oil for adoption of CO2 EOR.

DELTA CLEANTECH INC. // Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Q3 2021

17

The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the Period.

Significant items subject to judgment, estimates and assumptions include: revenue recognition (judgments on principal versus agent relationship, the identification of performance obligations within contracts, and estimation of the allocation of transaction price to different performance obligations), non-financial asset impairment, inventory provision, underlying estimations of useful lives of depreciable assets, fair value of financial instruments, environmental remediation and contingent liabilities, if any.

The Financial Statements are based on Management’s best estimates using information available. Uncertainty regarding the timing of anticipated large-scale market demand for carbon capture technology, related legislative incentives, and uncertainty in financial markets has complicated the estimation process. Accordingly, the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates and assumptions may impact the actual results reported in future years by a material amount.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Standards issued but not yet effective

Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements (" IAS 1 ")

In January 2020, amendments were issued to IAS 1, which provide requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. Specifically, the amendments clarify:

  • What is meant by a right to defer settlement.

  • That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period.

  • That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right.

  • That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument, would the terms of a liability not impact its classification.

The amendments must be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2023. The Corporation will assess the impact, if any, of adoption of the amendment.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Investments classification

As part of the evaluation of whether the Corporation has significant influence over any investee, management must exercise judgment based on current information. Determination of whether or not an investment should be classified and accordingly accounted for as a subsidiary, significant influence or equity investment has a material impact on the financial statements. Management takes into account all facts and circumstances in concluding the classification of an investment.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair value of financial assets recorded in the Statement of Financial Position cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow method. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible.

Asset impairment

The carrying amounts of the Corporation’s non-financial assets, other than inventories which are reviewed regularly, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and compared to the carrying amount of the cash generating unit (“ CGU ”) to which the asset belongs. There was no impairment in the Period.

The Corporation’s most significant estimates and assumptions involve values associated with determining the recoverable amounts of product development costs, property, plant and equipment, patents, and intangible assets. These estimates and assumptions include those with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives, and the determination of CGUs.

Leases

The Corporation applies judgment in determining whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether the Corporation has the right to control the asset, and the lease term. Lease terms reflect the period over which the lease payments are reasonably certain including renewal options that the Corporation is reasonably certain to exercise. The determination of lease terms involves significant judgment with respect to assumptions of whether lease extensions will be utilized. Management makes assumptions about long-term industry outlook and store operating performances and growth which relate to future events and circumstances. Actual results could vary from these assumptions, and the differences could be material to the carrying value of the lease liabilities and right of use assets, for which the lease term is the basis for determining useful life.

Warrants

The Corporation utilizes the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair value of warrants issued as part of a unit. The Corporation uses judgment in the evaluation of the input variables in the Black-Scholes Calculation which includes; estimates of the future volatility of the Corporation’s share price, forfeiture rates, expected lives of the underlying security, expected dividends and other relevant assumptions.

RSU’s are valued at the grant date and recorded to stock compensation expense when vested. As the RSU’s are converted to stock, at the option of the Corporation, they are being accounted for as an equity instrument.

Business combinations

For acquisition accounting purposes, all identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. Estimates are used to calculate the fair value of these assets and liabilities as at the date of acquisition. Contingent consideration resulting from business combinations is valued at fair value at the acquisition date as part of the business combination. Where the contingent consideration is recognized, it is subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date. The determination of the fair value is based on discounted cash flows. The key assumptions take into consideration the probability of meeting each performance target and the discount factor.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

For all current assets and liabilities, the difference between cost and fair value is assumed to be negligible due to the short-term maturities of these items. The following table provides a summary, by class and level on the fair value hierarchy, of the financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, together with the carrying amounts included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, as at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

The Corporation uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

  • (i) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • (ii) Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

  • (iii) Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Interest from financial instruments is recognized in finance costs.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Management’s risk management policies are typically performed as a part of the overall management of the Corporation’s operations. Management is aware of risks related to these objectives through direct personal involvement with employees and outside parties. In the normal course of its business, the Corporation is exposed to a number of risks that can affect its operating performance. Management’s close involvement in operations helps identify risks and variations from expectations. The Corporation has not designated transactions as hedging transactions to manage risk. As a part of the overall operation of the Corporation, management considers the avoidance of undue concentrations of risk. These risks and the actions taken to manage them include the following:

Credit risk

The risk of financial loss in the event of failure of a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument to meet its contractual obligation is defined as credit risk. The Corporation's principal exposure to credit risk is in respect to its accounts receivable. In order to reduce the risk on its accounts receivable, the Corporation has adopted credit policies which mandate performing an ongoing credit review of all its customers and establishing allowances for bad debts when the amounts are not collectible. The allowance for bad debt at September 30, 2021 was $Nil.

Due to the nature of Delta’s operations, Management considers accounts receivable outstanding for 90 days or less, to be current amounts. Over 90 days are also considered current, if extended terms exist and security is provided, or amounts are subject to contract restrictions and performance markers. The aging of the Corporations accounts receivable at September 30, 2021 is as follows:

Currency risk

The Corporation is exposed to currency risk as a certain portion of sales and expenses are incurred in US dollars resulting in US denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable. These balances are, therefore, subject to gains and losses due to fluctuations in that currency in relation to the Canadian dollar.

The Canadian dollar equivalent amounts of the balances denominated in US funds at September 30, 2021 are:

Cash 683

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Corporation’s only interest-bearing financial instrument is the GIC that it holds as at September 30, 2021 at a fixed rate of interest.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation cannot meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities in full. The Corporations’ main sources of liquidity are its operations and equity financing. The funds are primarily used to finance working capital and capital expenditure requirements and are adequate to meet the Corporation’s financial obligations associated with financial liabilities.

The timing of cash outflows relating to the financial liabilities are outlined in the table below:

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

COVID-19

During and subsequent to the Period, there was a continued global outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, which has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on Delta as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence.

These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, the Corporation anticipates this outbreak may cause reduced customer demand, supply chain disruptions, staff shortages, and increased government regulations, all of which may negatively impact the Corporation’s business and financial condition.

Investor Relations

On October 7, 2021, the Corporation announced that it has entered into a 6 month engagement with Generation IACP Inc. to provide trading services with the primary objective of contributing to market liquidity of the Shares in Canada.

On November 2, 2021, the Corporation announced that it has entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delta engaged the services of Circadian Group, on a non-exclusive basis, for a 6-month period, commencing November 1, 2021 to provide investor relations activities.
