fee. Clients should coordinate and discuss the impact of financial advice with
the clients’ attorney
and/or accountant. Clients must inform Delta promptly with respect to any changes in the client’s
financial situation and investment goals and objectives. If the client does not notify Delta of changes,
Delta’s investment recommendations may not meet the client’s needs.

Financial plans are based on the client's financial situation at the time and are based on financial
information disclosed by the client to Delta using certain assumptions with respect to interest and
inflation rates and based on past trends and performance of the market and economy. However, past

performance is in no way an indication of future performance. Delta cannot offer any guarantees or
promises that client's financial goals and objectives will be met. Further, clients must continue to
review any plan and update the plan based upon changes in the client's financial situation, goals, or
objectives or changes in the economy. Should client's financial situation or investment goals or
objectives change, clients must notify Delta promptly of the changes. Delta is not in a position to
provide advice or guidance on all of clients’ possible insurance needs. Therefore, clients should seek
other insurance professionals to review all insurance needs.
