Delta Technology Issues Letter to Shareholders

ZHENJIANG, China, Aug. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Technology Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: DELT)  today issued the following letter to its shareholders:

Dear Delta Technology Shareholders:

You probably have seen or heard about two news releases your Company recently issued about a new direction for Delta Technology. We are dedicating ourselves to solving a major global problem, hunger.

We know that the world has to produce more food crops for future population growth. Also we know that some 40 percent of the world's food crops are lost each year due to plant diseases, according to Wikipedia.

The Company has dedicated existing resources and facilities to the production of prothioconazole, a germicide used to prevent and cure crop disease. We already manufacture two of the primary raw material components for prothioconazole, a systemic fungicide. This product is safe, non-toxic to embryos, and harmless to humans and the environment but deadly to the diseases that destroy crops.

We expect annual sales of $100 million from the new product within a three-year period after the launch in the third quarter of calendar year 2017. There is only one other company in the world making this product. Billions of dollars are spent annually to reduce crop disease and much of this money is simply wasted on products that do not work, according to Wikipedia. We have completed multiple bench and pilot tests and have successfully produced this compound. We believe that we have the expertise and the right team to make this succeed.

We project revenues of $66.5 million from July 2016 to the end of June 2017 and positive net income while we make the progress needed on our new product and shift to become a biotech leader.

We are exploring ways to use our expertise and our talent to refocus the Company into a biotechnology giant. Because of our talent and teamwork we have a great potential to invent and develop new products, especially in the agricultural sector. We ask our investors to have patience and to watch carefully as we continue to tell the investment world about our successes.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Chao Xin
Chairman & CEO
