2. Basis of presentation
The Group is domiciled in South Africa. The audited consolidated financial results at and for the fifteen months ended 27 March
2019 comprise the company and its subsidiaries (the 'Group'). Given the current state of winding down of the operations of the
Group there are no operating segments per the requirements of IFRS 8 on operating segments.
The only remaining non-current asset held by the Group at year-end December 2017 was the plant site located in Nelspruit.
During 2017 and 2018 remediation of the Nelspruit plant site continued in terms of the order received during December 2015
from the Department of Environmental Affairs. Progress reports on the work undertaken in terms of the order were submitted to
the Department of Environmental Affairs as required. An independent evaluation of the remediation work completed in terms of
the order was undertaken during the first quarter of 2018.
The company has actively marketed the site for over 20 months, during this period no substantial, unconditional offers were
received for the plant site. At year-end December 2017 the independent valuators report indicated that carrying the site at
cost was not inappropriate. Subsequent to the December 2017 year-end, the company had received unconditional offers from
potential buyers indicating realisable prices to the value of R10 million. Based on experience trying to sell the site for several years
and the prices from potential buyers the directors decided to impair the value of the plant site from R25 949 000 to R10 000 000.
The Group's principal accounting policies have been applied consistently over the current and prior financial years. The company
has considered the impact of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 on the results and concluded that it will have no material effect.
On 5 March 2014, the company announced that the board of directors had taken the decision, subject to approval by the
company's shareholders, to discontinue the operations in a phased and orderly manner during 2014 and to realise value for the
company's assets during 2014 to 2018. The decision was approved at the Annual General Meeting of the company held on
9 May 2014. At the general meeting held on 10 June 2019 the shareholders approved the payment of a special dividend which
will constitute the disposal of the greater part of Delta EMD's assets, the voluntary winding up of Delta EMD, the appointment of
the liquidator and delisting from the JSE of the Delta EMD shares.
The above information highlights that the group is no longer a going concern, and in line with the requirements of IAS 1
Presentation of the financial statements, the annual financial statements have not been prepared as a going concern. The
group has, amongst other things, assessed the value of assets for impairment and analysed the need to recognise a liability for
contractual commitments that may have become onerous as a consequence of the decision to cease trading. There are no non-
current assets remaining in Delta EMD to reclassify in terms of IFRS 5. The directors intend to delist Delta EMD from the JSE in
July 2019, the winding up of the group has been conducted by way of shareholders voluntary winding-up in terms of section 80
of the Companies Act. The directors are of the opinion that the company will be in a position to discharge all of its liabilities, due
to the company's cash resources.
The financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with IFRS which among other things, requires writing assets
down to their recoverable amounts. It also requires recognising a liability for contractual commitments that may have become
onerous as a consequence of the decision to cease trading.
Basis of preparation
The Group's summarised consolidated audited financial results have been prepared by EJ Nel CA(SA), Financial Director,
in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for preliminary financial statements, and the
requirements of the Companies Act applicable to summarised consolidated financial statements. The Listings Requirements require
preliminary reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements
of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices
Committee, Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and as a minimum contain the
information required by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting.
The auditors, Deloitte & Touche, have issued their modified audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements for the fifteen
months ended 27 March 2019. The auditors report contains an emphasis of matter paragraph: "Without qualifying our opinion,
we draw attention to Note 15 to the financial statements regarding the proposed voluntary wind-up of the company's operations,
planned deregistration and the basis of preparation of the financial statements. The basis of preparation is consistent with
International Financial Reporting Standards and further describes that the going-concern assumption is not appropriate to the
company". The preliminary report has been derived from the consolidated financial statements and consistent in all material
respects, with the consolidated financial statements. Copies of the modified audit opinion, the audited consolidated financial
statements together with accompanied summarised financial statements are available for inspection at the Company's registered
office. Any reference to future financial performance included in this announcement, has not been audited or reported on by the

3. Subsequent events
A circular was issued to the shareholders on 18 April 2019 requesting the shareholders to approve the distribution of a major
portion of the company's assets to the shareholders as a special dividend and approving the delisting and voluntary liquidation
of the company. At the general meeting held on 10 June 2019 shareholders approved the payment of a special dividend which
constitute the disposal by Delta EMD of the greater part of its assets, the voluntary winding-up of Delta EMD, the appointment
of the liquidator and the delisting from the JSE of the Delta EMD shares. The results of this meeting were published on SENS on
10 June 2019 and in the press on 11 June 2019.
COMMENTARY
The Group realised a loss for the fifteen months of R24.6 million (2017: Profit R3.3 million).
The Group's expenses as reported at 27 December 2018 remain unchanged except for the administrative expenses that include the
operating expenses for the three months to 27 March 2019 as well a provision for all the expenses related to the voluntary winding-up,
delisting and liquidation of the company.

of a special dividend which constitute the disposal by Delta EMD of the greater part of its assets, the voluntary winding-up of Delta EMD,
the appointment of the liquidator and the delisting from the JSE of the Delta EMD shares. The results of this meeting were published on
SENS on 10 June 2019 and in the press on 11 June 2019. Finalisation announcement will be published once all conditions precedent
