The Plan became effective on January 5, 2009 (the “Effective Date”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, all assets of the Debtors were transferred to the Delta Financial Liquidating Trust (the “Liquidating Trust”) on the Effective Date. The Liquidating Trust will be responsible for the administration of all claims against the Debtors’ estates. The Bankruptcy Court has appointed Hobart G. Truesdell as the trustee of the Liquidating Trust, in which capacity Mr. Truesdell is vested with the rights, powers and benefits set forth in the Liquidating Trust Agreement and Declaration of Liquidating Trust.

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, all shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date have been extinguished. The Company intends to file a Form 15 certifying to and notifying the United States Securities and Exchange Commission of the termination of the registration under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act of 1934 of its common stock.
