REPORTING CURRENCY
The Company’s results are reported in United States Dollars (US$). The functional and presentation currency of Delta International was converted from Pounds Sterling (GBP) to US$ on 16 May 2014.
BUSINESS REVIEW
The Company had limited trading activity in the reporting period due to the sale of Trito Petersfield Limited (“Trito”) and the Pan-African strategy only taking effect post the reporting date.
On 15 April 2014 the Company entered into an agreement with KSP Offshore Limited to dispose of its entire shareholding in Trito together with any claims on loan account which the Company held in Trito. The sale was in line with the change in strategy.
At reporting date the Company held no investment property. The assets on the Company’s balance sheet at 30 June 2014 consisted of cash on hand of US$ 649,328, prepayments of US$ 31,946 and a loan of US$ 275,734 advanced to Delta International Mauritius Limited (Incorporated in Mauritius), (“Delta Mauritius”).
Subsequent to the reporting date the Company acquired 100% of the share capital in Delta Mauritius the platform from which investments into African real estate will be made.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has embarked on a strategy of acquiring a portfolio of African real estate assets (excluding assets situated in South Africa) in furtherance of executing its stated objective.
Post year-end, Delta International directly and indirectly entered into the following transactions:
• The Company acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Delta Mauritius. Delta Mauritius indirectly owns 100% of the issued share capital of Freedom Property Fund SARL (Incorporated in Morocco), through Delta International Bahrain SPC (Incorporated in Bahrain), a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Mauritius;
