DIRECTORS' COMMENTARY

Nature of the business

Delta Africa is a pan African property income fund focusing on African real estate assets (excluding
South Africa), underpinned by US Dollar-denominated long-term leases with high quality tenants
delivering sustainable income.

Listed in July 2014, the Company holds dual primary listings on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius
("SEM") as well as the main board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE").

In its first year of trading, the Company and its subsidiaries ("Group") successfully bedded down its
footprint in Africa through the acquisition of three properties in Mozambique and one property in Morocco.

Subsequent to the Group's maiden results, it has maintained momentum in its geographical expansion
strategy by acquiring a portfolio of assets, the salient highlights of which are as follows:

Acquisitions during the reporting period

-  Zimpeto Square, a 4,764m(2) retail mall in Maputo Mozambique, which transferred on 15 October
   2015 for a consideration of US$10.6 million;

-  A 50% interest in the Makuba Mall, a 28,235m(2) retail mall in Kitwe, Zambia on 1 December 2015
   for a net purchase price of US$17.5 million (made up of the asset value of US$31.5 less debt of
   US$14 million); and

-  A 50% interest in the Kafubu Mall, an 11,964m(2) retail mall in Ndola, Zambia on 1 December 2015 for
   a net purchase price of US$4.1 million (made up of the asset value of US$9.1 million less debt of
   US$4 million).

Acquisitions post period end

-  Barclays House, a 7,700m(2) commercial office building in Ebene, Mauritius for a consideration of
   US$13.5 million, which transferred on or about 23 February 2016;

-  The Vale accommodation compound in Tete, Mozambique, consisting of 83 villas and 40 apartments
   with a net purchase price including of US$17 million (made up of the asset value of US$33.1 million less debt
   of US$16.5 million). Anticipated transfer date is 31 March 2016;

-  The Bollore/Plexus warehousing compound in Pemba, Mozambique, 6,374m(2) warehouse for
   US$4.3 million (made up of US$8.5 million less debt of US$4.3 million). Anticipated transfer date
   is 29 February 2016;

-  The Buffalo Mall in Naivasha, Kenya, a 6,167m(2) warehouse for US$4.1 million (made up of
   US$6.1 million less debt of US$2.0 million). This is anticipated to transfer before 31 March 2016; and

-  The Wings Office Towers in Lagos, Nigeria, a 27,812m(2) office complex for US$73.2 million (made up
   of US$110.3 million less debt of US$37.1 million). The property will transfer on practical completion,
   estimated on 1 September 2016.

The Group's strategy remains to expand its property portfolio throughout targeted countries in Africa
with assets that will provide sustainable long-term, US Dollar-based income from high quality tenants
with a core focus on protecting shareholder value and dividend yield.

REVIEW

The Board approved and declared its third distribution of US$ 6.17 cents per share for the six month
period ended 31 December 2015, an increase of 32.8% over the six months ended 30 June 2015. This
represents an annualised dividend yield of 10.6% on the JSE and 7.1% on the SEM(1).

(1) Based on the JSE price of ZAR18.50 and ZAR:US$ rate of exchange of 15.85; and the SEM trading price of US$1.70.

On 22 July 2015, the Group finalised a medium-term finance agreement with Standard Bank of South
Africa, with the proceeds of US$38.0 million being utilised to settle the Standard Bank Mozambique
bridging facility of US$24.3 million that was in place at year end for the acquisition of the Hollard
Building and the Vodacom Building (with the remainder of the funds being utilised to secure the
current pipeline of acquisitions in Mozambique).

On 11 February 2016, Investec Bank dispersed a long-term facility of US$50.9 million to Freedom
Property Fund in Morocco. The loan was the first entry into the Moroccan market by Investec Bank
and has now set the platform for additional funding for future projects in Morocco. The loan has
been denominated in Euros (60%) and US Dollars (40%) (based on the weighting of the Moroccan
Dirham), while securing the lower cost of borrowings attached to the hard currency versus the higher
Moroccan Dirham-based lending rate. The proceeds of the loan have been utilised to settle the vendor
loan which arose on the acquisition of the Moroccan property, resulting in a significant reduction to
the 8.9% borrowing costs associated with the vendor loan to the all-in interest rate of 5.52% (of which
70% is a fixed interest rate).

The Group's property loan to value is currently 44.7%, down from the 48.3% reported in June 2015.
The total loan to value including the equity bridge facilities with AfrAsia Bank and Standard Bank
South Africa is 53.8%.

Asset acquisitions and geographical footprint in Africa

During the six months to December 2015, the Group has transferred yield-enhancing assets to the
value of US$51.3 million and secured an additional US$55.2 million of assets due to transfer before
the end of March 2016. The expansion has increased the Group's targeted African footprint with asset
acquisitions in both Zambia and Mauritius.

Details of acquisitions transferred by 31 December 2015

Zimpeto Square, which transferred to the Group in October 2015, is a 4,764m(2) strip mall in Maputo,
Mozambique. The mall has achieved exceptional trading densities, with no vacancies and minimal
arrears. The gross asset value of the centre is US$11.0 million as at 31 December 2015 (independently
valued by JLL).

The 50% stake in Makuba Mall in Kitwe, Zambia transferred on 1 December 2015. The mall provides
28,235m(2) of GLA and is valued at US$63.1 million (US$31.5 million attributable to the Group). The mall
is anchored by Shoprite, Game and Pick n Pay. Other notable tenants include Mr Price, Woolworths,
Spur, Barclays and FNB.

Kafubu Mall based in Ndola, Zambia provides 11,964m(2) of GLA, is valued at US$17.5 million and is
anchored by Shoprite. Other notable tenants include Spur and OK Furniture. The gross asset value of
the Group's 50% stake in the mall is US$8.8 million.

Both Zambian malls are the dominant retail offerings in their respective catchment areas and are
effectively managed by Heriot Properties. The extensive property management experience of Heriot
Properties in Zambia has resulted in the malls being very well managed, with negligible vacancies and
arrears.

Details of acquisitions currently being transferred

The Barclays House Building in Ebene, Mauritius transferred on or about 23 February 2016. The building houses
the corporate head office for Barclays in Mauritius and has 12 years remaining on the lease. The 7,700m(2)
building is valued at Rs490 million (approximately US$14 million) and was acquired for Rs470 million
(approximately US$13.5 million). Although the leases are denominated in Mauritian Rupees, the Group
will hedge the currency exposure to the US$ for a period of three years, the cost of which has been
factored into the initial acquisition yield.

The Vale accommodation compound in Tete, Mozambique is the premier accommodation offering
in the area and provides 83 x three-bedroom units as well as 40 x two-bedroom apartments. The
compound includes sporting and entertainment facilities for the tenants. Vale and Barloworld fully
occupy all the units on five-year leases. The gross asset value of the compound has recently been
independently valued at US$35.7 million. The transfer of the property, at a cost US$33.1 million, will
conclude on the date of subdivision of the property, however the effective date of the transaction is
1 December 2015.

The Bollore/Plexus warehouse compound in Pemba, Mozambique spanning 6,374m(2), provides seven
individual warehouses and office space to tenants. In addition to meeting Delta's requirements for
US$-based leases with strong counter parties, this property's location, being at the base of the
Anadarko/ENI pier in Pemba harbour, provides the Group with the opportunity to redevelop the site
at a later stage. The acquisition price of the property is US$8.5 million (independently valued by JLL)
and is expected to transfer by mid-March 2016.

The Phase I of the Buffalo Mall in Naivasha, Kenya is a 6,167m(2) retail, commercial and entertainment
centre development, anchored by Tuskys. The 45.5% stake in the asset provides the Group with its
initial acquisition in the Kenyan market. The asset has recently been valued at US$13.4 million, which
includes the land and development rights for Phase II of the mall, with a maximum of 14,000m 2 of
additional GLA.

The Wings Office Towers in Lagos, Nigeria is a 27,812m(2) twin towered office complex. The asset is
expected transfer on 1 September 2016 (being the estimated date of completion). The building is
anchored by Oando Oil PLC, with the balance of the property covered by a two-year rental guarantee
by the seller.

Results

Profit for the six months to 31 December 2015 amounted to US$7.8 million, compared to the
US$2.2 million loss for the comparative six months to 31 December 2014, and US$2.3 million profit for
the previous six month period.

Net operating expenses as a percentage of revenue has decreased to 17.1% for the six months to
31 December 2015 from the 25.0% reported in the previous financial year, with the decline being
attributed to acquisitions of triple net lease buildings that were acquired at the end of the 2015
financial year.

The weighted average cost of debt is currently at 6.99% (versus 6.94% at 30 June 2015). The increase
is attributable to the interest rate ramp-up on the recently settled vendor loan on the Anfa Place
Shopping Centre, this facility has been refinanced with Investec Bank at an effective rate of 5.52%
(vendor loan currently at 8.9%). Finance for new acquisitions have been secured at an all-in rate of
between 5% and 5.65% (with a minimum of 70% of the interest costs being fixed).

The results include the impact in the slide in the Mozambique Meticais, which has depreciated 23%
against the US Dollar from 38.05 in June 2015 to 46.88 by the end of December 2015. Although the
movement in the currency does not impact operating profits (as all leases and borrowing costs are
US$ based), it does provide for large revaluation movement as can be seen in the revaluation of the
properties, unrealised foreign exchange movements and the foreign currency translation reserve, with
the latter impacting on the NAV per share by 13.55 US$ cents per share – without this movement, the
NAV per share would be 175.39 US$ cents per share.

Existing portfolio performance

The Anadarko Building in Mozambique is operating as expected and remains 100% occupied. The
Anadarko Phase II Building's development plans have now obtained the required local authority approvals
and the terms of the lease with Anadarko have been agreed. Hodari Properties are expected to commence
the development in mid-2016. In addition to the net rental income to be generated on Phase II, the Group
will share in the development fee without taking any development risk. The development fee is based
on the Group's existing interest in the land and the ability to provide backing for the required financing
facilities. The Group has invoiced fees amounting to US$0.6 million to the developer to date which is
disclosed under other income.

The Vodacom Building and Hollard Building, which transferred in April 2015 and May 2015 respectively,
have now been bedded down and are operating beyond expectations, with a number of tenants requesting
lease renewals long before the current lease expiry. Both buildings remain fully occupied and arrears are
insignificant.

Anfa Place Shopping Centre in Morocco continues to perform within expectations. The emphasis on
collections has produced positive results and arrears have improved significantly over the last three
months. The intense scrutiny on late payments has, however, resulted in the eviction of two small tenants
in October 2015, which has increased the overall vacancies from 7.64% to 8.13%.

The recent addition of McDonalds and the first of new Turkish fashion brands, Exist, are part of the planned
enhancements to the tenant mix that will gain momentum over the coming year. A project is being formulated
to increase the space efficiency and unlock additional retail GLA that will enable further strengthening of
the tenant mix that appeals to the wealthy primary catchment of Anfa. The plans include entertainment
facilities as part of the centre's popular food court. The Four Seasons Hotel, which is adjacent to the centre,
opened on 28 October 2015 and this has seen further uplift in the increasing footfall.

The restaurants and vacancies within the street retail section of the centre will no longer be hindered by
the hotel construction site and the Group is now expecting significant interest in this area of the complex.

The Group has recently appointed Aswaq Management and Services ("AMS") as the property managers
to replace Commercial Real Estate Service ("CBRE"). Their local knowledge and insight of the Moroccan
retail market combined with their extensive retail experience in the UAE will be paramount in maximising
the project plans for the centre and reducing vacancies. New Turkish brands that are trading extremely
well in Morocco such as LC Waikiki, Defacto and Koton have expressed strong interest and negotiations
are being concluded to introduce these exciting brand offerings to the centre. In addition, we have interest
from quality food tenants, Laduree, Fauchon and Frederic Cassell whom we are aiming to accommodate.

The Moroccan Dirham ("MAD"), being the functional currency of the Moroccan investment, has remained
relatively stable against the US Dollar, moving from 9.78 at year end its current levels of 9.72 to the
US Dollar.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Shareholders are referred to the announcement dated 17 November 2015, released on the news service of
the JSE and SEM respectively informing the market that Delta Africa and The Pivotal Fund ("Pivotal"), a
JSE-listed development focused investment fund, formed a new strategic relationship to be named Mara
Delta Property Holdings Limited ("Mara Delta").

In terms of the framework agreement entered into between Delta Africa and Pivotal, Delta Africa will
acquire Pivotal's entire 45.5% shareholding in Buffalo Mall Naivasha Limited, a Kenyan retail, commercial
and entertainment centre development. The purchase consideration amounts to US$4.1 million and will
be settled through the issue of new Delta Africa ordinary shares to Pivotal at US$1.70 a share. Transfer is
expected to take place in March 2016.

In addition, Delta Africa will also acquire Pivotal's entire shareholding in SB Wings Development Limited
("SB Wings"), a Mauritian company with a 37.1% shareholding in Oando Wings Development Limited
("Oando Wings") as its sole asset. Oando Wings is currently undertaking an office development in Lagos,
Nigeria. The transfer of the interest in SB Wings is due to take place on completion of the development,
expected in September 2016.

The purchase consideration, including all amounts owed by SB Wings to Pivotal, amounts to US$73.2 million
and will also be settled through the issue of new Delta Africa ordinary shares to Pivotal.

The framework agreement will result in Delta Africa Property Holdings changing its name to Mara
Delta Property Holdings, retaining its two primary listings on the JSE and the SEM. The existing asset
management agreement between Delta Africa and Freedom Asset Management Limited will also be
terminated in favour of the internalisation of Delta Africa's asset management function and associated
management fee.

Pivotal will commit to the US Dollar equivalent of R300 million to future capital raises as and when
required in order to facilitate the equity funding of future acquisitions.

As part of the agreement, Abland Africa Limited, Carlisle Property Holdings Limited and the Mara Group
will be appointed as promoters to source investment and development opportunities for Mara Delta
across the continent.

Delta and Pivotal will add further depth and experience to the board of Mara Delta with the intention
to appoint Jackie van Niekerk, Dave Savage and Ashish J. Thakkar as non-executive directors after the
closing date. Peter Todd will remain as the lead independent non-executive director to the Board, and will
be joined by Ian Chambers as an independent non-executive director.

The conclusion of the strategic framework agreement is subject to inter alia, Delta Africa shareholder
approval. Once concluded, Pivotal will be a substantial shareholder with Board representation in Delta
Africa, subject to shareholders and regulatory approvals.

Other than the items mentioned previously, no material events have occurred since the reporting date.
