Despite this, profit before income tax (PBT) from the Group`s international and ongoing fixed odds (Betting World) operations increased by a pleasing 20% and 12% respectively. Total income decreased by 1% to R443,4 million (2010: R447,3 million), the decrease primarily due to income from the terminated Racing UK ("RUK") rights agreement included in the comparative period (the agreement was terminated on 28 February 2010). Excluding RUK income, total income increased by 5%. Total net betting income increased by 3% to R333,5 million (2010: R323,9 million). Other operating income that comprises, inter alia, bookmakers` levies, unclaimed dividends and breakages, stable rentals and local and international broadcasting levies/fees decreased by 11% to R97,6 million (2010: R109,7 million). Excluding RUK income in the comparative period, other operating income increased by 16%. As a consequence of increased foreign currency denominated assets and a softening in investment returns, investment income decreased by 5% to R1,9 million (2010: R2 million). Operating expenses and overheads were well contained and increased marginally to R361,6 million (2010: R361,2 million). Profit before finance costs, income tax, depreciation and amortisation decreased by 4% to R71,3 million (2010: R74,4 million). The Group continues to invest in its capital infrastructure and as a consequence the depreciation and amortisation charge increased by 5% to R17,2 million (2010: R16,3 million). Profit from operations decreased by 7% to R54,2 million (2010: R58 million). Profit before income tax expense, which includes a R4,4 million profit on step- up of Betting World becoming a subsidiary in the comparative period, decreased by 13% to R54,2 million (2010: R62,7 million). Attributable earnings decreased by 17% to R32 million (2010: R38,6 million). Headline earnings and headline earnings per share (HEPS) decreased by 9% to R32,5 million (2010: R35,6 million) and 42,96 cents per share (2010: 47,10 cents per share) respectively. Diluted HEPS also decreased by 9% to 42,77 cents per share (2010: 47,10 cents per share). LOCAL OPERATIONS Income from local operations increased by 3% to R403,7 million (2010: R392,3 million) with income from Betting World up a pleasing 10% to R47,6 million (2010: R43,3 million) and income from totalisator, racing and other operations up 2% to R356 million (2010: R349 million). Totalisator handle struggled to gain traction in the first half, particularly in independently operated and managed bookmaker and other agent retail outlets. Gold Circle`s Gold Cup meeting, historically held in August each year, was not scheduled during the period under review impacting negatively on handle. However the launch of the `All to come` bet in October 2010 was well received and impacted positively on totalisator win and place pools. Totalisator handle on local and imported horseracing as well as the Group`s soccer sports bet increased by 1% to R1,41 billion (2010: R1,39 billion). Growth in soccer pools was curtailed by a decline in the number of betting opportunities to 224 (2010: 254) with the local Premier Soccer League having started earlier in the comparative period to accommodate the 2010 Soccer world cup tournament. Net betting income increased by 3% to R318,7 million (2010: R309,7 million) with Betting World up 12% to R41,8 million (2010: R37,2 million) and totalisator operations up 2% to R277 million (2010: R272,4 million). Betting World`s net betting income was assisted by an improved gross margin of 15,9% (2010: 15,1%), 6% growth in net betting income from bets placed on horse racing, 17% on sport and 178% on numbers. Operating expenses and overheads increased by 6% to R338,7 million (2010: R320,4 million). Excluding stakes which decreased by 2% to R78 million (2010: R79,4 million), operating expenses and overheads increased by 8% to R260,7 million (2010: R241,1 million) primarily due to employee, marketing and advertising, security, electricity, fuel and regulatory compliance costs. PBT from local operations, which includes a R4,4 million profit on step-up of Betting World becoming a subsidiary in the comparative period, decreased by 24% to R36,8 million (2010: R48,2 million). Excluding the R4,4 million profit on step up of Betting World becoming a subsidiary in the comparative period, PBT from local operations decreased by 16% to R36,8 million (2010: R43,7 million) with Betting World up 12% to R9,9 million (2010: R8,9 million) and totalisator, racing and other operations down 23% to R26,9 million (2010: R34,8 million). INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS Since the loss of the RUK rights significant progress has been made, both operationally and financially, in positioning South African racing internationally whilst leveraging off the opportunities presented in the UK, Europe, Asia and Australia and by the Group`s Isle of Man totalisator operation. Strategic relations have been forged with Australia and Italy who collectively make up 27% of international revenue for the period under review. Income from international operations was negatively impacted by the strength of the Rand and the loss of the RUK rights and decreased by 28% to R39,8 million (2010: R55 million). At constant currencies revenue decreased by 21%. Excluding RUK revenue, revenue increased by 34% and at constant currencies by 46%. Net betting income from the Group`s Isle of Man totalisator operation increased by 4% to R14,8 million (2010: R14,2 million) whilst income generated from other international initiatives was negatively impacted by the loss of the RUK rights and decreased by 38% to R25,2 million (2010: R40,7 million). At constant currencies, net betting income increased by a pleasing 16% and income from other international initiatives decreased by 34%. Operating expenses and overheads were positively impacted by Rand strength and the loss of the RUK rights decreasing by 44% to R22,9 million (2010: R40,8 million). The Group`s share of profit from its equity accounted investee, Automatic Systems Limited (a company listed on the Mauritius Stock Exchange and one of two licensed totalisator operators on the island) decreased by 27% to R411 000 (2010: R560 000). PBT increased by 20% to R17,4 million (2010: R14,5 million) and equates to 32% (2010:25%) of the Group`s PBT. At constant currencies and despite the loss of the RUK rights PBT increased by 31%. FINANCIAL POSITION The Group has total assets of R559,8 million (2010: R534,3 million) including cash resources of R98,9 million (2010: R59,1 million) and insignificant gearing. The Group`s net asset value per share increased by 2% to 499,41 cents per share. Cash generated from operations of R72 million was utilised to fund an increase in working capital of R24,4 million (primarily due to a decrease in trade and other payables that included approximately R7 million in betting dividends payable to punters after the Vodacom Durban July meeting held on 31 July 2010), pay income tax of R16,1 million and dividends of R32,5 million. A further R19,8 million was utilised for capital expenditure and software development. Net cash inflows from financing activities of R0,6 million include a dividend of R1 million received from the Group`s equity accounted investee. SHARE CAPITAL There was no movement in issued share capital during the period under review. CONDENSED SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS The Group stages and broadcasts horseracing events and offers betting opportunities on both South African and international product in two geographic segments, namely South Africa and the rest of the world.

There were no other changes to the composition of the Board during the period under review. PROSPECTS Despite difficult trading conditions management is encouraged by a marked improvement in the local betting handle trend from January 2011 to date. If the current momentum is maintained local operations are positioned for growth in the second half. International operations continue to trade well despite Rand strength and the loss of the RUK rights. The financial forecast has not been reviewed or reported on by the Group`s auditors. Management remains cautiously optimistic of a stronger performance in the second half of the year.
