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.

GAMING
Gaming revenue was 8% ahead of last year at R3.5 billion with slots revenue at
R2.9 billion and tables revenue at R0.6 billion, 9% and 6% ahead of last year
respectively.
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.

IFRS 3 (revised) - BUSINESS COMBINATION
The purchase price allocation (PPA) for the investment in the TCN was finalised
during the period under review. 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)

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.

of R1 billion. The project includes the conversion of the existing conference

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.
