Comments

1.   Introduction
     Hospitality is the only Specialised Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") listed on
     the JSE that offers investors a unique investment vehicle in the hospitality sector
     through the ownership of a portfolio of hotel and leisure properties.

     The Fund continued to benefit from the improving fundamentals in the South
     African hospitality industry over the past six months. Supported by the quality of
     its hotel portfolio, it delivered strong year-on-year growth in distributions with the
     Sandton and Cape Town properties in particular performing well. Industry-wide
     occupancies are reaching levels last seen in 2008 and revenue per available room
     ("RevPar") was boosted in December 2013 as many foreign dignitaries travelled
     to South Africa to pay tribute to late President Nelson Mandela. 

     Hospitality once again exceeded the forecast set out in its 2013 Integrated Report
     ("Forecast"), for the period ended 31 December 2013 ("the period").

     Distributable earnings per combined linked unit increased by 17,7% to 89,08 cents
     compared to 75,70 cents in the previous financial year, these also exceeded the Forecast of
     83,19 cents by 7,1%. The A-linked unit distribution grew by 5,0% to 69,83 cents,
     in line with the Fund's distribution structure and the Forecast. Distribution on the
     B-linked unit showed an increase of 109,5% to 19,25 cents compared to 9,19 cents
     in the previous period and exceeded the Forecast by 44,10%.

2. Trading environment
     According to STR Global, the hotel industry reported that year-on-year occupancy
     increased by 2,7% to 63,5%, average room rates ("ARR") were up 11,7% to
     R992 and that industry-wide RevPar increased 14,7% for the six months to
     December 2013. The Fund reflected RevPar growth of 18,4% for that portion of its
     portfolio which is subject to variable rental income (i.e. dependent on operational
     earnings), exceeding the industry RevPar growth. It achieved a 4,5% increase in occupancy
     to 62,5%, while ARR rose 13,4% to R1 121.

     The strength of the industry's recovery is being driven by improving occupancies
     and higher room rates as demand for hotel accommodation continues to rise,
     especially in major metropolitan areas where the supply of new hotel rooms into
     the market has been slow. In particular, the three months from September to
     December 2013 saw room rates exceeding levels last achieved before the global
     financial crisis. A significant recent development for the domestic hospitality industry 
     is the proposed acquisition of Protea Hospitality Holdings' brands and hotels business by
     Marriott International.

3.   Results
     Rental income for the period exceeded the Forecast by R23,8 million (12,6%), and
     showed growth of R38,6 million (22,2%) from the comparable period in the prior
     year. The increase is mainly due to the inclusion of the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel
     ("RBGH") for the period and rental income growth of 13,1% that was achieved by
     the portfolio's remaining 22 properties that are subject to variable rental. However,
     the Fund's overall rental income growth was marginally dampened by the impact of
     the average rental increase of 2,3% on the fixed lease portion of the portfolio, which
     contributes 30% of total rental income.

     Fund expenses increased R5,2 million (35,6%) and were also R4,9 million higher
     than Forecast.The increase was primarily due to a bad debt provision of R4,2 million
     raised as a result of a tenant default. However, with effect from 1 December 2013,
     this tenant vacated the property and a replacement tenant was secured.
     Net finance costs rose R4,7 million (7,1%), due largely to increased debt levels
     associated with the corporate bond issued to finance the RBGH acquisition in May
     2013.

     The following table reflects the operating financial results for the six months ended
     31 December 2013 compared to the Forecast and the previous financial year.

4.   Property portfolio
     The Fund's portfolio comprises interests in 27 hotel and resort properties in South
     Africa. As at 31 December 2013, the carrying amount of the portfolio was R4,6 billion.

     The net asset value per linked unit as at 31 December 2013 was R10,97, an increase
     of 9,6% from December 2012 due primarily to an increase in the valuation of the
     standing portfolio. The weighted average lease expiry period is 6,9 years.

     African Pride Hotels (owned by Protea Hotels) took over as hotel manager at
     Mount Grace in December 2013, positioning the property to regain market share
     by leveraging off Protea Hotels' extensive sales and marketing infrastructure. The
     Fund also concluded a new lease agreement with a subsidiary of African Hotels and
     Adventures ("AHA") (a division of Tourvest) for the Kopanong Hotel & Conference
     Centre on 1 December 2013. Through the extensive sales and marketing network
     that is available to AHA the performance of this property should improve.

5. Funding
     The Group's debt facilities as at 31 December 2013 amounted to R1,73 billion.Total
     funds outstanding on these facilities were R1,59 billion resulting in a loan to value
     ("LTV") ratio (total interest-bearing liabilities/investment property plus non-current
     assets held for sale) of 34,6%. (2012: 34,1%). The interest cover ratio ("ICR") is
     2,73 times.

     The average cost of borrowings for the six months under review was 9,02% (2012:
     9,84%). Of the borrowings, 62% was subject to fixed interest rates through interest
     rate swap structures.

     The Fund continually plans and evaluates the optimal methods of funding for new
     acquisitions and replacing debt, including new unit issues, replacement of bank
     funding and the Group's corporate bond programme. When raising new debt the
     Group endeavours to spread the maturity to reduce the need to replace large
     tranches in a single year.

     The debt expiry profile has been restructured to provide an even expiry spread with no 
     concentrated exposures.

     Rand Merchant Bank ("RMB"), acting as arranger, successfully facilitated a
     R500 million secured note issue on 17 February 2014. The issue comprised
     R300 million of floating rate notes at 3-month JIBAR plus 200bps and R200 million
     of fixed rate notes at an interest rate of 9,89% for a three-year period. Nedbank also
     provided a new term loan of R50 million at 3-month JIBAR + 238bps.The proceeds
     were utilised to repay all the facilities previously provided by Absa amounting to
     R550 million. The decision was taken due to the restrictive conditions imposed by Absa 
     in terms of the loan agreement An early repayment penalty of R4,9 million was paid to Absa 
     which will be incurred in the second half of the current financial year.The two Absa swaps
     were also novated to RMB on 10 February 2014. The Fund thanks Nedbank, RMB,
     Bowman Gilfillan and investors in the note programme for their continued support
     and assistance in restructuring and enhancing the Fund's debt facilities.

6.   Acquisitions and disposals
     The Fund continually evaluates property acquisitions in line with its strategy to
     acquire large, well-located properties with strong brands in major metropolitan
     areas. Several opportunities across South Africa are currently under consideration.

     The Fund has identified certain properties amounting to R326,7 million which
     do not meet its long-term investment criteria and continues to market these for
     sale. These properties remain profitable and Hospitality is not under pressure to
     compromise on-pricing.

7.   Development and capital projects
     With virtually all fixed and variable lease properties having been refurbished during
     the last six years, capex has been contained to R40,0 million in the period under review. 
     In the short term, the addition of a new outdoor swimming pool at Westin Cape Town, the 
     upgrade of the public areas at Radisson Waterfront and the expansion of the Protea Edward 
     with 24 new bedrooms are planned.

     The application process for the development rights on the Phase 2 land at Arabella
     Hotel and Spa is still in progress, finalisation of the matter has been impacted by
     delays at the local municipality. The Fund now anticipates a response from the
     relevant authorities in the next six months. Should the development rights be
     secured, the Fund will market this scheme with a view to realising a profit from
     the sales of 352 residential stands, which will be classified as distributable income.

8.   Liquidity
     During the six months under review, 25,9% of the A-linked units and 38,5% of the
     B-linked units were traded on the JSE Limited.

9.   Board of directors
     Ms Zola Ntwasa was appointed as Independent Non-Executive Director on 8 July
     2013.

10.  Prospects and trading update
     The fundamentals for the hospitality industry remain strong, especially in major cities
     where business volumes continue to grow. Whilst occupancies, which initially drove
     the recovery, continue to track higher, room rates are starting to reflect the strong
     demand. The Rand's weakness since the beginning of 2014 has made South Africa more affordable 
     for international visitors, which could further boost demand in the domestic hospitality sector.

     The scarcity and high cost of land in major nodes coupled with the limited availability
     of capital is expected to limit the pace of new hotel developments. Currently
     acquisition opportunities are providing higher relative returns than bringing new
     developments on stream.

     The high quality of the Fund's properties continues to provide a solid platform to
     benefit from improved trading given the positive fundamentals in the hospitality
     sector.

     Hospitality's focus for the remainder of the financial year remains on further
     rationalising its capital and funding structure, optimally growing room rates in order
     to improve its profitability while being sensitive to the impact on trading volumes.
     The Absa early repayment penalty of 4,9 million referred to above will have a negative effect on
     distributions.

     Distributions for the 12 months ending 30 June 2014 are expected to be in line with
     the Forecast of 141,36 cents per A-linked unit. The annual B-linked unit distribution
     is expected to be at least 32,61 cents which is 22,0% higher than the current
     Forecast of 26,72 cents per linked unit. This forecast has not been reviewed by the
     Fund's auditors.

     As previously stated the Fund's underlying performance in the 2015 financial year is
     likely to be impacted by a change within its fixed lease portfolio as the current lease
     at Birchwood Hotel & OR Tambo Conference Centre converts into a fixed and
     variable lease at the end of June 2014. Based on current trading figures, this could
     result in a reversion in rental at Birchwood of between 10% and 20% in the 2015
     financial year. The impact of the dilution in rental will be influenced by the trading
     volumes and rates achieved at Birchwood during the 2015 financial year. Hospitality
     has commenced discussions with the tenant to focus on a smooth transition from
     fixed to F&V lease and together with the hotel's management team will ensure that
     earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA") levels are
     optimised to minimise any dilution in rental income. The Fund's asset management
     team which has recently been expanded and strengthened, is planning to implement
     new hotel operating and control systems at Birchwood prior to the conversion in
     June 2014.

11.  Payments of interim distribution
     Unitholders will receive distribution payment number 16 for the six-month period
     ended 31 December 2013 of 69,83 cents per A-linked unit and 19,25 cents per
     B-linked unit.
 
     In accordance with Hospitality's status as a REIT, linked unitholders are advised
     that the distribution meets the requirements of a "qualifying distribution" for the
     purposes of section 25BB of the Income Tax Act, No. 58 of 1962 ("Income Tax
     Act").

      Local tax residents
      Qualifying distributions received by local tax residents must be included in the gross
      income of such linked unitholders (as a non-exempt dividend in terms of section
      10(1)(k)(aa) of the Income Tax Act), with the effect that the qualifying distribution is
      taxable as income in the hands of the linked unitholder.These qualifying distributions
      are, however, exempt from dividend withholding tax in the hands of South African
      tax resident linked unitholders, provided that the South African resident linked
      unitholders provided the following forms to their Central Securities Depository
      Participant ("CSDP") or broker, as the case may be, in respect of uncertificated
      linked units, or the company, in respect of certificated linked units:

      (a)  a declaration that the distribution is exempt from dividends tax; and

      (b)  a written undertaking to inform the CSDP, broker or the company, as the
           case may be, should the circumstances affecting the exemption change or
           the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner, both in the form
           prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service.
           Linked unitholders are advised to contact their CSDP, broker or the company,
           as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be
           submitted prior to payment of the distribution, if such documents have not
           already been submitted.

      Non-residents
      Qualifying distributions received by non-resident linked unitholders will not be
      taxable as income and instead will be treated as ordinary dividends but which
      are exempt in terms of the usual dividend exemptions per section 10(1)(k) of
      the Income Tax Act. It should be noted that until 31 December 2013 qualifying
      distributions received by non-residents were not subject to dividend withholding
      tax. From 1 January 2014, any qualifying distribution received by a non-resident from
      a REIT will be subject to dividend withholding tax at 15%, unless the rate is reduced
      in terms of any applicable double taxation agreement ("DTA") between South
      Africa and the country of residence of the linked unitholder. A reduced dividend
      withholding tax rate in terms of the applicable DTA, may only be relied on if the
      non-resident linked unitholder has provided the following forms to their CSDP or
      broker, as the case may be, in respect of uncertificated linked units, or the company,
      in respect of certificated linked units:

      (a)  a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the
         application of a DTA; and

      (b)  a written undertaking to inform their CSDP, broker or the company, as the
         case may be, should the circumstances affecting the reduced rate change
         or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner, both in the form
         prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service. Non-
         resident linked unitholders are advised to contact their CSDP, broker or the
         company, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents
         to be submitted prior to payment of the distribution if such documents have
         not already been submitted, if applicable.

      Unitholders are requested to seek professional advise on the appropriate action
      to take.
