(ii) The consolidation of the Employee Share Trust is reversed in the calculation of adjusted headline earnings as the group does not receive the economic benefits of the trust. ACCOUNTING POLICIES The condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 31 December 2010 has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the presentation and disclosure requirements of IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting and AC 500 standards issued by the Accounting Practices Board. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2010. EARNINGS AND DIVIDEND Whilst revenue for the six months ended 31 December 2010 was 9% ahead of last year at R4.5 billion, comparable revenue (excluding the Federal Palace in Nigeria) was 8% higher. Gaming and rooms revenues were 8% and 14% ahead of last year respectively. EBITDA of R1.3 billion for the six months was 5% higher than last year with the EBITDA margin declining 1.2 percentage points to 28.3%. The lower margin is due to certain cost increases being ahead of inflation (particularly property costs such as rates, taxes and utilities), and the lower margins at the Federal Palace due to the depressed trading conditions. The results include a charge of R75 million in terms of IFRS 2 - Share Based Payments, which results from an extension to an option previously granted to the minority shareholders to subscribe for their portion of the additional capital contributed to SFI Resorts SA (Monticello). The strengthening of the Rand and Chilean Peso against the US Dollar resulted in a foreign exchange loss of R79 million compared to a loss of R16 million last year. Net interest paid decreased by 8% to R243 million as a result of lower interest rates. Tax of R233 million increased by 27% due to the tax refund in the prior year. The effective tax rate, excluding the minority equity option charge, non deductible preference share dividends, STC, CGT and prior year over-provisions was 34% (2009 - 35%). Adjusted headline earnings of R220 million and diluted adjusted headline earnings per share of 215 cents are 2% and 1% above last year respectively. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements, adjusted headline earnings increased by 13% on last year. The board has declared an interim dividend of 80 cents per share.

GrandWest revenue at R832 million and EBITDA at R313 million were 6% and 3% ahead of last year respectively. The EBITDA margin declined 0.9 percentage points to 37.6%. Monticello revenue increased 30% to R512 million. EBITDA increased 85% to R67 million resulting in an improvement in the EBITDA margin of 3.9 percentage points to 13.1%. The costs were impacted to an extent by a strike that lasted for a month during the period. Carnival City achieved revenue of R488 million, an increase of 3% from last year. EBITDA was in line with last year at R142 million resulting in the EBITDA margin declining 0.9 percentage points to 29.1%. The Group`s share (Carnival City and Morula) of the Gauteng market declined 0.1 percentage point to 20.3%. Sibaya revenue increased 6% to R449 million while EBITDA was unchanged at R150 million. The EBITDA margin of 33.4% was 1.8 percentage points below last year. Sibaya`s share of the Kwazulu-Natal market was in line with last year at 35.2%. Boardwalk revenue and EBITDA was 11% and 14% ahead of last year at R225 million and R85 million respectively. This resulted in the EBITDA margin increasing 0.9 percentage points to 37.9%. HOTELS AND RESORTS Rooms revenue at R465 million was 14% ahead of last year and 7% excluding the Federal Palace. Group occupancy of 66.9% was 3.2 percentage points lower than last year although average room rates increased by 9% to R897. The decline in occupancies was primarily a result of weaker demand from international markets. Sun City revenue grew 8% to R628 million. Occupancy was static at 71% while the average room rate was 9% ahead of last year at R1 290. EBITDA was 10% ahead of last year at R74 million with the EBITDA margin 0.2 percentage points ahead of last year at 11.8%. The Table Bay achieved an 18% increase in average room rate to R2 230. However occupancies declined by 10 percentage points to 44% due to a decline in demand primarily from the markets of the United States and United Kingdom and increased rooms inventory in Cape Town. EBITDA declined by 17% as a result. The Royal Livingstone and Zambezi Sun achieved an aggregate occupancy of 45% (54%) at an average room rate of US$ 197, a 7% decline against last year. EBITDA in US dollars was 5% below last year. Revenue from Botswana was 2% ahead of last year at R83 million. EBITDA was 4% ahead of last year at R26 million resulting in a 0.5 percentage point increase in the EBITDA margin to 31.8%. The Federal Palace generated revenue of R69 million at a 55% occupancy and an average room rate of $256. EBITDA was R4 million resulting in an EBITDA margin of 5.4%. MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES Management fees and related income of R304 million was 2% higher than last year due to lower development fees this year. EBITDA increased by 5% to R174 million. FINANCIAL POSITION The group`s borrowings at 31 December 2010 decreased by R56 million to R6.2 billion from 30 June 2010. THIRD PARTY BORROWINGS 31 December 2010 31 30 June

The results of the provisional and final PPA are set out below: R million Provisional Final Property, plant and equipment 798 861 Current assets 92 92 Deferred tax (13) (77) Current liabilties (443) (443) Net assets 434 433 Minorities` interests (220) (219) Net assets acquired 214 214 Previously held associate at fair value (93) (93) Consideration settled in cash 121 121 Cash and cash equivalents in TCN (65) (65) Cash outflow 56 56 An independent external valuer was used to determine the fair value of vacant land based on the open market valuation and the discounted cash flow valuation was used to finalise the value of the buildings and infrastructure. This resulted in the property, plant and equipment increasing by R63 million, with a R161 million increase in buildings and infrastructure offset by a reduction in the land value of R98 million. Deferred tax of R64 million has been raised in accordance with IFRS 3. The 30 June 2010 statement of financial position has been restated accordingly. DEVELOPMENTS Wild Coast Sun The second phase of the Wild Coast Sun refurbishment project was completed in December 2010, taking the total complement of newly refurbished rooms to 111. The third phase is now under way, which consists of the refurbishment of 182 bedrooms, the convention centre refurbishment and the construction of the new water park. The total estimated capital expenditure remains at R400 million with final completion scheduled for mid 2012. Windmill Construction of a new Prive was completed in November 2010 at a cost of R30 million. The Prive includes both smoking and non-smoking facilities, a lounge and separate entrance from a new private parking area. Kalahari Sands The refurbishment of the Kalahari Sand`s 173 hotel rooms, buffet restaurant and kitchen will be completed by April 2011 at an estimated capital expenditure of R89 million. Boardwalk During the period the Eastern Cape Gambling and Betting Board awarded the exclusive gaming licence in Port Elizabeth to Emfuleni Resorts for a period of 15 years effective from October 2010. The expansion of the Boardwalk has commenced and is targeted to be completed by December 2012 at an estimated cost of R1 billion. The project includes the conversion of the existing conference centre into a new smoking casino and a new structure which will accommodate a three level parkade with 870 undercover parking bays, a 135 room five star hotel with the requisite facilities and an international standard conference centre. SUNWEST EXCLUSIVITY GrandWest`s initial 10-year casino exclusivity in the Cape Metropole expired during December 2010. The Provincial Government of the Western Cape is still considering whether to permit one of the other casino licence holders in the Western Cape to relocate to the Cape Metropole and has engaged interested stakeholders before taking a final decision. Sufficient information to assess the potential impacts on GrandWest`s revenue and profitability remains unavailable. PROPOSED RESTRUCTURE OF COMMON INTERESTS WITH GRAND PARADE INVESTMENTS LIMITED "GPI" Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcements published on 8 December 2010 and 21 January 2011. Negotiations are still in progress regarding the possible restructuring of Sun International`s and GPI`s common interests in certain Sun International subsidiaries. A further announcement in this respect will be made in due course. OUTLOOK It is anticipated that hospitality revenues will remain soft for the rest of the financial year. Gaming revenues have stabilised and are showing signs of improvement at certain units. Monticello and the Federal Palace continue to increase their contribution to the group`s results. Growth in adjusted headline earnings per share for the full year (excluding foreign exchange earnings) is anticipated, although this is likely to be below that achieved for the first half. The outlook has not been reviewed or reported on by the company`s auditors.
