Recent decline in crude oil prices having positive impact on 2014 margins and net income

Delta Technology Holdings Limited (“Delta” or “the Company”), (formerly CIS Acquisition Ltd.) (NASDAQ:CISAW) announced today an update on its operations, which have recently been positively impacted by improvements in the specialty chemical market and lower raw material costs.

Chairman and CEO, Mr. Xin Chao, stated, “We continue to see strong growth among our specialty chemical business lines, and the recent decline in global crude oil prices is having a positive benefit on the Company’s cost of goods sold. As a result of this decline, we felt it would be [appropriate] to advise investors of the impact on our business. The majority of our raw material purchases are of chemical products that are set against larger petrochemical prices such as Toluene, Benzene, Styrene and Phthalic Anhydride, which have all seen price declines in light of changes in the global market[ for crude oil?]. Meanwhile, we have retained pricing strength on our line of specialty chemicals. As a result, we are seeing a potential of a 10% increase in operating income if prices for raw materials stay at current levels, largely due to these savings in the purchase of raw materials. During the year ended June 30, 2014, Delta reported operating income of $11.6 million.”

Mr. Chao concluded, “Delta is continuing to see strong sales growth of our unsaturated polyester resin (UPR), which is a durable, high-resin product with anti-corrosion properties used in such industries as automotive or marine. We maintain a diverse customer base of more than 380 customers in China and countries such as India, Brazil, Japan, European Union member countries and America, and feel that we have the production capacity to grow further in 2015.”
